He is so sweet I almost want to cry. Or do him. I’d prefer the latter.
“I love how protective you are of me,” I murmur, smoothing my hand up and down his thigh. God, I love his body. He’s so hard... everywhere. “I’ve never had someone defend me before.”
“Well, I’m all yours. Don’t forget it.” He flinches and yelps when I cup his burgeoning erection. “Damn it, Marina. I’m driving.”
“Yes, you are. And I’m touching you. Don’t mind me.” I undo the button fly on his jeans and slip my hand within, encountering warm, thin cotton stretched across his hard, thick cock. My panties dampen just touching him, and I release a shuddering breath.
“Don’t you dare do what I think you’re doing,” he admonishes, but his voice is weak. He’s such a sucker for my touch.
Almost as much as I’m a sucker for his.
“I could give you a hand job while you drive.” I scooch closer to him, my mouth at his ear, and I curl my fingers around his length. “Or a blow job. Remember when I did that last week?”
That had been fun. He’d been driving this powerful car, looking so sexy and in command I hadn’t been able to resist.Next thing I knew, I was sprawled across the front seat of the Maserati with my head in his lap and his erection in my mouth. He’d had to pull over so I could finish him off without him wrecking.
Hot. He makes me so hot it’s ridiculous. I’m with him, and I feel like a giddy teenager just out for a good time. I think he feels the same way.
At least we’re in this together.
“Baby, I love it when you put your mouth on me, but I’m trying to get us home in one piece so I can have my mouth all overyou.” He stifles a groan when I deliberately stroke him. “Fuck, I swear you like seeing me in agony.”
I do. I love torturing him. Only because I know he wants me so bad. It’s a heady feeling, wielding this much power over Gage. And he has power over me as well, there’s no denying it. I think we make a great team.
I can only hope my family feels the same. And eventually they can forgive him—specifically my mother—when he buys up our properties in downtown St. Helena and resells it. That’s what his plan is. He doesn’t even have to tell me. I already know.
And I finally think I’m okay with his plan. If I have to give up the bakery, then so be it. It chokes me up to think about it, but I need to act like a grown-up. Archer and I have discussed my possibly working with him very casually, and I know he means his offer. He’s mentioned me taking on a management position within one of his restaurants. I don’t know if I would actually pursue it, but hey, it’s an option. One I appreciate Archer making for me.
“We’ll be home soon, okay?” He settles his hand over mine, giving it a squeeze. I, in turn, give his cock another squeeze. His ragged moan sends a little thrill through me that urgesme to keep going. “And then you can do whatever you want to me.”
“Really? Whatever I want?” I raise my brows. There are so many things we haven’t attempted yet that I’d love to try out. I’m so comfortable with him, I know whatever I suggest, he’d be game for it.
“Definitely whatever you want. But you need to get your hand off my dick. I feel like I’m gonna blow,” he says through gritted teeth.
I burst out laughing. “I’ve barely touched you!”
“Yeah, but that’s all it takes, Marina. Haven’t you realized that by now?” He turns to look at me, the heated glow in his eyes so intense, it steals my breath.
And makes my heart expand. He’s so far gone over me, I love it.
Especially since I feel the same exact way.
Chapter 12
Gage
I’ve waited for this moment for what feels like a lifetime. Hounded this man until I’m sure he was sick and tired of hearing and seeing my name. Now that the time has come, and I’m sitting across from him in my San Francisco office, and despite being on my turf, I’m so full of nerves I swear I’m going to be sick.
I am also a complete wuss. My biggest fear? That I’ll somehow fuck it all up and lose everything.
Including Marina.
“My daughter likes you,” Scott Knight says, his gaze razor sharp as it meets mine. I don’t back down. Just keep my expression neutral and hope like hell he can’t tell I’m sweating beneath my suit. “But just because she likes you doesn’t mean I have to.”
Jesus. Way to boost my confidence.
“I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt, though. Marina doesn’t make bad choices. She’s a smart girl. I like to think I had something to do with that.” Scott turns his head toward the window, seemingly lost in thought. “So with that said, I think it’s time we discuss you purchasing the property downtown.”
Fucking finally. I practically sag in my chair. The reliefthat’s ready to consume me is strong, but I’d also have to be an idiot to believe all is well. This could be a trick.
