She stopped, completely at a loss for words and it made me smile.
I leaned forward then and linked my hands. “If we fuck once we’ll be able to move past this more easily I believe. But if we continue to do it then that's where the complication will arise.”
Her brows furrowed in what I guessed was annoyance but truly and these days with her I couldn’t tell. She was no longer as easy to read had she once had been and this both concerned and thrilled me at the same time.
She looked away then to give this further thought and then she nodded. “Alright,” she agreed. “This sounds… okay. One night, nothing more nothing less. I mean if we both keep to our understanding of not making this into something more.”
She sounded a bit sarcastic but I couldn’t even get mad or irritated. I had always been this way with her. Was always able to let my guard down and this was one of the reasons I believed that sex with her would be amazing.
“Let’s start with one night,” I said. “Tonight. I want to know how you taste. After that, we can deal with whatever comes next.”
“That is not very reassuring,” she smiled nervously. “But alright, deal.”
She held her hand out for a handshake then and I couldn’t help but smile again. I accepted it and we went on with our meal.
It went faster than it probably would have but still, it all felt too slow to me until eventually I threw my cutleries aside and looked at her.
“Want to get out of here?”
“Not without dessert first,” she said as she took another sip of her wine. “Their menu looks amazing and they have the chocolate lava cake. It's their most famous dessert and I’ve always wanted to try it but couldn’t.”
This was a peculiar statement to me. “You’ve been here before?” I asked.
“Yes,” she replied. “When I was in coll-”
She froze mid-sentence and I cocked my head wondering what was going on.
“When you were in college?” I asked. “You told me you’ve never been here before.”
I could almost see the gears in her head moving as she tried to navigate her way out of this. I didn’t think I’d ever caught her in a lie before, in all the years I’d worked with her and this was the reason why I had slowly been able to let my guard down enough to trust her but given the current situation, something suspicious began to roil in the pit of my stomach.
“Um…” she said. “I did come here with my fiancé later on. On one of our vacations.”
This sounded reasonable, so I nodded and accepted it however that suspicious feeling didn’t go away and it made me a bit thoughtful. It had never steered me wrong before so I hadlearned to listen, so how was it that in the case of this woman that I mostly trusted it was going off?
Chapter 16
Scarlett
Ihad nearly been caught.
That slight blunder had kept me quite quiet for the rest of dinner and even now as we rode back in the car and returned to the hotel I could still almost hear my heart pounding in my chest.
Close call… close call, and so I reminded myself to keep my mouth shut.
Soon we arrived but I didn’t even notice because I was still lost in thought until my door was suddenly jerked open. I was startled, but as I lifted my gaze and saw the incredibly dashing and handsome billionaire staring down at me with the backdrop of the starry skies behind him I felt my heart skip several beats.
“We’re here,” he said and I nodded. He stepped back so I could step out of the car, however before I could get my bearings he curved his hand around the back of my neck, and pulled me to him.
It was as though that move alone turned me pliant and completely decrepit of self-will, so more than anything I fell into him as he slanted his head and kissed me.
He tasted like liquor. It was sweet and exotic and incredibly intoxicating. And then he tasted like lust as well. Filthy, unhinged lust and it nearly blew my mind. His tongue weaved expertly in and out of my mouth while sucking with just the right pressure on my lips and it made my knees so incredibly weak.
By the time we parted, my eyes were still shut and it was a while before I reopened them. I stared into his gorgeous gray eyes then and realized that I was gripping his shirt hard for dear life.
“You okay?” he asked and I absolutely was not. I was full of breath, yet out of breath at the same time and whatever this fire was that was licking at my insides I needed more of it. I needed to be flat on a surface, any surface at all, and I needed him slamming into me so hard that I forgot about everything else.
“Let’s go,” I said and I could almost feel his smile behind me. I didn’t give a fuck. Tonight, had absolutely nothing to do with ego. It was the time to let loose and to fuck this man that I would probably never see again after this week, unbeknownst to him.
