I thought over the past months, from our first meeting in her office, to her hands around my throat, my mouth in her pussy, and her fingers inside me. Each time we came together, it was from lust, anger, hurt, and a desire to connect, at least for me. But this, yesterday — last night — we were making love.
She was so beautiful.
When I told her I wanted to serve at her altar, I wasn’t lying. I didn’t realise what it meant to love someone like this.
I gave her a small squeeze, kissing the top of her head as she mumbled her discontent. She needed to sleep more. Though she was well enough to get up and walk around, I still didn’t like how warm she was.
She moaned softly and tensed, stretching her body as she woke. I wanted to see her face as she realised where she was, when she remembered how close we’d been last night.
I tilted her head back, and our eyes locked. She glared at me, her surprise obvious, but it slipped away as awareness flooded her eyes, her gorgeous smile lighting her face, her palm sliding up my chest to meet my nipple.
“Good morning, handsome,” she purred.
It was for me, all of it. From the soft hum as I arched my back to meet her to the sultry look in her eyes. It was all mine. It felt like she held nothing back. No barriers stopped us, no wounds to struggle against. Just Cat and Max, how we used to be when we woke up from a lazy morning in bed to make love, eat, and fall back under the covers with no worries in the world.
“How did you sleep?” I asked as she lifted herself onto her side, propped up on her elbow.
She looked down at me, her hair falling over her shoulder to frame her breasts as she drew tiny circles on my skin.
“Hmm, well, my pillow could have been softer.” She grinned, her face so full of love that I surged up to meet her, taking her mouth with a warm kiss that told her how much I loved her.
This was so right. Every place we touched was perfect. I felt her soften into me, let me take the lead, and I was honoured at her trust in me. Two weeks ago, she barely let me touch her, keeping me at arm’s length, even as I was coming in her mouth. Now it was all smiles and kisses and beautiful glimpses of her in the morning light of her bedroom.
I wanted to make love again. I was already hardening at the thought as I deepened our kiss. She pulled back, laughing gently at my confusion.
“I have to use the bathroom.” She placed a soft kiss on my cheek, stroking me fondly before leaving the bed.
It was a mistake, but I needed to check my phone. I’d been offline and missed enough recording time that I would need to do some serious grovelling to make it up to the guys. But it had been worth it.
I heaved myself out of bed and grabbed her red silk dressing gown from the hook on the back of the door. I slipped it on, still clutching my phone, and tied the belt as I padded through to the living room, enjoying the cool air on my bare legs. It cut off mid-thigh, and I loved the feel of it. I couldn’t stop grinning as I imagined her wearing this.
The moment I turned on my phone, it exploded. Twenty-seven missed calls, fifty-four texts, and endless social media chats, all sending me the same message.
The most urgent messages were from Carl, and I didn’t have to listen to his voicemails to know it was serious. He would only call on a Saturday morning if it was an emergency.
He was on me as soon as I rang his number. “Where the fuck are you? Why aren’t you answering your phone? Did you get my messages?”
I could hear him pacing, phones ringing, and people shouting behind him. He had to be in the office.
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t fuck around with me, Max. It’s a Level Five shitstorm here. You need to get to the fucking office right now. I’m sending a car. Where the fuck are you?”
“I’m at home.”
“No, you fucking aren’t. I was at your place this morning, and there wasn’t a single fucking atom of Max Rider to be found. I used my emergency key, and guess what I found? Oh wait, you don’t need to guess, you piece of shit. Now tell me where the fuck you are.”
“Will you just tell me what’s going on?”
“Check your fucking messages, you idiot.”
The shower started, and Cat lightly hummed from the bathroom. She used to sing in the shower all the time. It was so good to hear it again.
“I’ll call you back.”
“No, you won’t, you fuckwit. I need you in the office. Now. Give me your address.”
I gave him the general area and hung up. I didn’t want him coming straight to Cat’s place.
