I didn’t like the change in either him or the air around us that sparked with tension. I took my time to pour more wine and set the dishwasher on. I was deliberately slow as I filled the jug with fresh coffee and kept my back to him as the kettleboiled.
I didn’t need to look to know he’d silently left his chair and was standing behind me. His musky aftershave wafted around. His hands appeared in my line of vision as he placed them, at either side of my body, on the countertop. He was close; enough to have me push up against the kitchen cupboards to keep a semblance of distance andrespectability.
“You’ve spent the whole evening asking questions. Now it’s my turn,” he whispered, as he ran his nose up the side of myneck.
I tried not to react. “You’ve spent the whole evening avoiding answering those questions. Maybe I’ll do thesame.”
“But I don’t need your words, Lauren, to get theanswers.”
His breath ghosted the sensitive skin just under my ear. I wanted to turn and push him away, but I didn’t. It was just a game,right?
“What turns you on, Lauren?” he whispered. His mouth was close to myear.
“I’m not going to answer that,” I whisperedback.
“My voice does, I can seethat.”
“How?”
“Your skin is reacting, every word I utter causes goosebumps, just here,” he said, as he ran his nose the length of myneck.
“I’m cold,” Isaid.
His deep throaty chuckle had the hairs on my arms stand on end, let alonegoosebumps.
I gripped the countertop to stop myself from leaning back onto his chest. I wouldn’t give in, no matter what hedid.
“You’re an arrogant fuck,” Isaid.
“Hmm, I’m not sure I’d agree. Arrogance suggests superiority, yet I worshiped yourbody.”
“Oh, please.” I dragged out the word ‘please.’
“I made you come, three, fourtimes?”
“What changed, Mackenzie? Which version of the man are you really? The one I just dined with, or thisone?”
“I’m whichever one is required at thetime.”
“You needtherapy.”
“I have it, right here.” His lips closed around my earlobe, and he sucked it into hismouth.
“I’m not qualified,” I said, desperately holding back the moan that wanted to replace mywords.
“Then I’ll train you,” he said as he released myearlobe.
“I have a job, I don’t needanother.”
“Do you know what I’d love todo?”
I shook my head, although I had half anidea.
“I’d love to shove my cock down your throat to stop your smartwords.”
I spun around quickly but he didn’t moveaway.
“Howdare…”
