My heart restarted with a resounding thud, racing to a million miles an hour when our eyes met. I scrambled off the stage, words jumbling together in my mind as I thought of something to say to him. As I approached his burning gaze, any comprehendible sentences melted away, leaving me stood in front of my Greek god with nothing to say.
He crossed his arms over his chest, the corner of his mouth tweaking up into something I couldn’t quite name. “Hi.”
My cheeks erupted, scorching my already heated skin. “Hi.”
“Having fun?”
I blushed, my eyes dropping to the floor. “I…”
“I saw the whole thing, Kyra. I’ve been stood here quite a while.”
I dared my eyes to meet his once more, his smouldering look shooting dread through my body. “I’m sorry…I just kind of…”
He lifted a hand, a gentle touch tilting my chin up to him. “You have nothing to be sorry for, Kyra. It’s not like we’re in a relationship or anything, is it?”
My heart splattered at my feet for a second time, disappointment and rejection mingling with it into a mangled mess. I shook my head, faking a smile. “No, I guess not.”
He dropped his hand, his beautiful blue eyes scanning over my face. “I do like you, Kyra. I like you a lot. I’m just not a relationship type of guy. It doesn’t fit well with my life and the type of person I am.”
Somewhere deep inside, anger started boiling, trying to force its way to the surface. I snorted at him as I crossed my arms over my chest, taking a step back. “Thanks for the heads up, like, a week ago.”
He smirked. “But if I did ever change that about myself, then you would be the first to know.”
I threw my hands up in the air. “Lucky me.” I sighed before I burst out laughing. “Well, at least I know where I stand. In the meantime, I’m going to live for the moment.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Which means what, exactly?”
I grinned before blowing him a kiss. I turned round, making a beeline for Tessa, who was still working her stuff on the pole. I jumped back up on stage, my hands settling on her waist as I pulled us together.
She raised her eyebrows as I inched our lips closer. “Someone had a change of heart?”
“You only live once, right?”
She grinned before gluing our mouths together, her tongue massaging my own with an aching desire. Whoops and jeers resounded from our group of watchers on the dance floor, both of us smiling as we broke our kiss.
As Ben finished his set, the music changed as the new DJ took over. We climbed down, strange hands patting us on the back and groping our bums as we walked through the throng of people.
“Wooo! Go, sis!”
I turned to see Ash bounding towards me, all smiles. “Shut up.”
He grinned before handing me another two shots of Sambuca. “I’m disappearing for the night—if you get my drift.”
I laughed as he winked. “Sure. Paul is here, anyway.”
He looked round, his eyes settling on his fine form. “I shall make sure I say hi. See you in the morning.”
I bid him good night before heading to the bar for yet more unneeded alcohol. Tessa ordered our drinks as I watched Paul and Ash share a short exchange. Downing my drink in one go, I smiled as he sauntered over, his blonde hair twinkling under the disco lights.
“Where’s your brother going?”
I smirked. “For an early night.”
He laughed as he shook his head. “Just me and you, then, I guess?”
I shook my head. “Nope.”
He frowned.
“I’m going for an early night too.”
His jaw clenched and his eyes hardened into a killer look. “With who?”
I grinned, wrapping my hand around Tessa’s body. She responded by curling her own arm around my waist.
His eyes widened. “Are you serious?”
“Totally.”
He smirked, folding his arms over his chest. “So, you’re just going to leave me high and dry?”
I ran my tongue over my bottom lip. “Not like we’re in a relationship or anything, is it? I didn’t ask you to spend three hours in a car to come and see me.”
“Touché.”
I started walking past him, my grin ever growing. I turned back, gesturing towards the door with my head. “You coming?”
He grinned in response and followed us out.
As we stepped outside into the fresh air, the alcohol I’d consumed seemed to hit me all at once, sending me into a new spin as we made our way back to the hotel. When we entered my room, Paul disappeared into the bathroom, leaving Tessa and me alone.
“You sure about this?” she asked.
I nodded, smiling as I tried to steady my whirling mind.
She leaned into me, pressing her soft lips to mine as her tongue slipped inside my mouth. Our hands mirrored each other’s movements, both of us fondling over our feminine curves. Shivers covered me from head to toe. A small moan escaped me when she brushed a hand over my chest, new waves of lust rushing through me.
I broke our kiss for a second. “Take it off. My dress.”
She smiled before working her way down my neck with her soft lips, catching all my sensitive spots with an expert touch. She unzipped me, pushing my dress to the floor in one swift move. She took a moment to look at me in my black lacy underwear, biting her lip as she did so. In less than a second, her own dress found its way to the floor as she revealed her own bright red silk lingerie.
Her hands found my hips, running along my tingling skin as she wound her way round my back, releasing my bra. I copied her movements, my heart pounding as I took her bra from her gorgeous body.
She reached for me, grabbing my head as she pressed us together, our soft skin rubbing together with a delightful sizzle. The feel of her velvet body against mine was just incredible. Her hands roamed over me, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake as her red lips continued to cover me in kisses.
I gasped, my head falling back as she nibbled at my neck before working her way down. With a gentle lick, her tongue worked over my chest in delightful patterns. Violent shudders coursed through me, each one settling between my legs with a throbbing ache.
“Fucking hell.”
I opened my eyes to see Paul stood by the bed, watching us. His eyes glittered like gems seeing daylight after years of being hidden. I’d forgotten about him in my moment of pleasure. I smiled and closed my eyes, allowing Tessa to push me on the bed. She crawled on top of me, continuing her sensual assault on me as she worked her way down my body. Her fingers glided down my legs, sweeping my thong off in one smooth movement.
Paul groaned, and I opened my eyes to see him undressing himself. Tessa distracted me from him as she kissed her way back up my legs. I squirmed with an overwhelming anticipation of where she was going next. Her hands crept up my body, skimming over my chest at the same moment she placed her mouth between my legs.
I jolted from the sudden delight of her mouth on me, teasing slow circles over my tender spot. Within seconds, my hips were bucking up to her, forcing more of me into her mouth. I struggled to calm my breathing as I silently begged for her to give me more.
Her hands left my chest, running up and down my thighs as I basked in this sheer bliss she was giving me. Another hand grabbed hold of my chest, and I opened my eyes to see Paul hovering over me with his own ragged breathing. His mouth found mine, his tongue taking control of mine as his hands teased me with their own rhythm.
I moaned, feeling more than overloaded with all of this decadence the pair of them were crashing over me. It was only a matter of minutes before I released myself to her, her tongue delving deep inside. She continued her breath-taking pace, leading me onto another sweet relief only moments later.
She stopped, her voice a hoarse whisper. “You taste so good…”
Paul broke our kiss, growling at Tessa to move. I opened my eyes, the room spinning all around me as Tessa settled herself above my head. Before I could even register what was happening, Paul plunged himself inside me, a familiar groan sounding from him as he filled me.
His fast tempo soon served me with my third climax as I writhed under his assault on me. My drunken state was fast becoming a hindrance to how much I could revel in this pure heaven.
He flipped me over, his eyes falling on Tessa and ordering her to touch herself. He pulled me down the bed, bending me over as I watched Tessa dance her fingers over herself. She wriggled under her own touch while Paul’s hands grabbed hold of my shoulders, forcing me back onto him as hard as he could.
As Tessa gasped under her own joyful release, Paul stilled inside me, letting out a deep breath as he did so.
After a couple of minutes, Tessa sat up, her green eyes gleaming. “Well, that was definitely worth an early night.”
Paul said nothing. He walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
I crawled into bed, sobering up at a rate of knots. What the hell did I just do? With my boss?
