Before I knew it, we were on the couch. His fist wrapped around my hair as his lips trailed down my neck. I whimpered as he nipped at my pulse.

“Fuck. I need you.” He thrust his hips up. His hard cock pressed against my slick center.

“Wait.” I gasped. I didn’t know if it was his words or his bold move, but sanity rushed back in. I shoved at his chest as I stood. “Tell me what’s wrong. Why did you come here?”

He grasped my hips like he feared I’d leave if he weren’t holding me. I honestly didn’t know if I wanted to leave or climb back in his lap. If I wanted to forget the pain in my chest or have himmakeme forget.

“Something happened, and you were the only person I wanted to see.” He exhaled harshly as he stared at me. Like this, we were eye to eye. I couldn’t help reaching out and brushing a strand of hair off his forehead.

But almost immediately, I dropped my hand. My arm felt electrified. Like if I touched him for too long I’d get burnt.

I gestured between the two of us. My eyes dropped to the bulge tenting his pants. “You can’t just come here for sex. I thought we were in a relationship, then you disappeared.”

“I didn’t want to.” His hands slipped under my top, his fingers stroking my skin softly. “Things at… work became insane, and I couldn’t get away.”

“You could’ve called me.” My inhale was shaky as I tried to ignore the goosebumps breaking out from his touch.

“I thought it would be better if we didn’t see each other anymore.” My mouth pinched as I grabbed his wrist, shoving him off me. But Matt was faster, gripping my hands and pulling me close until his thighs bracketed my legs. “My work isn’t going to stop being like this. I can’t give you the attention you need. But I also can’t seem to stay away.”

“I’m not a toy you can play with when you feel like it.” I snapped.

One side of his lips pulled into a frown as he hung his head. It brushed my stomach, but I resisted the urge to reach out and touch him.

“I’m sorry. I won’t come back here again.” My breathing increased as he stood. Our bodies were centimeters apart as he stared down at me.

I should let him go. Let him walk out of my life. I didn’t need a man who tossed me aside and picked me up at his convenience. I deserved more than that.

But as he moved to step around me, I found myself shoving at his chest, pushing him back onto the couch. “Tell me what happened today.”

His brows furrowed, but I knew the only reason he was sitting here was because he’d allowed me to push him. I could feel his muscles ripple under my hand as I rested it on his chest. Almost as if he didn’t realize he was doing it, he brushed his fingers up my leg again as he spoke.

“I found out someone betrayed me. In the worst way. And now I have to decide if I’m going to ignore it for the good of… the company. Or if I… replace him.” He took long pauses like he wasn’t sure how to describe it. He told me before his work was confidential, so I didn’t push. “No matter what decision I make, someone will… be upset.”

I could feel the tension, the despair rolling off him. I could tell he was deeply hurt by this person he’d trusted. It must have been someone close to him.

I knew betrayal like that. Knew how it changed you.

I grasped his jaw, forcing him to look at me. His stubble scraped my palms, sending a shock between my legs. “You’ll make the right choice.”

“How do you know?” His lips brushed my skin as he spoke, sending a shiver up my arms.

Why couldn’t I control my reaction to him? The desire that seemed to outrank everything else.

I tilted my head as I smiled at him. “Because you’re a good man.”

I gasped as he yanked me into his lap. My legs straddled him as he grasped the back of my neck, pressing our lips together. I should have resisted more. I knew this was a bad idea. But I could tell he needed it. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t need him too.

I whimpered as he broke the kiss. “Say it again.”

I grasped either side of his neck, pulling him close until our foreheads were pressed together. “You’re a good man.”

He shuddered as I said it. It seemed like no one had ever told him before. And from what he told me of his past, it was possible. I knew how much that hurt. To not feel worthy. To not feel like you were doing enough.

“I need to be inside you.” A startled scream left my lips as he reached under my shirt, ripping my panties from my body. I heard the fabric snap a second before he tossed them to the floor.

My pussy flooded at the strength. The primal aggression of the gesture. It was like the gunshot at the beginning of a race; suddenly we were in motion.

I whipped the shirt over my head before reaching for his. I didn’t bother with the buttons, instead yanking it open. They pinged off the floor as he lifted me up. I fumbled with his belt and zipper in my frantic state. But soon, his cock was free.
