CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Zachary
She stared at me, biting her lip. “What problem?”
“Well…” I took a deep breath, willing the courage to speak what I was thinking. Gavin would have killed me for even considering this. But I couldn’t back out now. The way she was looking at me, my sexy, sweet, Juliana… I’d never wanted a woman more. “I want this to be real.”
That pert little nose of hers wrinkled. “I didn’t realize it was fake.”
I smiled. God, she was so very precious.
“No. It’s not. But we’ve been sneaking around, like two school kids afraid to have anyone find out about us. I don’t want to do that. I want to… make this official. I want us to date. I want us to be a couple. For real.”
Surprise dawned on her face, and she raised an eyebrow. “Oh.”
I couldn’t tell if that little sound was one of surprise, disappointment, anger, or what. She just threw it out there, leaving me to stew and dangle in the wind, my heart thundering.
Finally, I couldn’t stand the suspense. “Oh, what?”
“It’s just… don’t you have something against dating your employees?”
I shook my head. “Maybe before. Not now. It feels too right. Besides, we were together before you were an employee, so…” I shrugged. I’d deal with any fallout.
“But I’m a nutritionist.”
“I’ll deal. As long as you can deal with the fact that I love to stuff Heigh-di-Hos in my face now and again, or lick Coco Crazies off your tits.”
She smiled, then her eyes turned glassy as tears filled them. She held out a hand. “I guess you have yourself a deal, Mr. Vaughn.”
Relief washed over me as I shook her hand. “Zach. I don’t let my employees call me Mr. Vaughn.”
She took a step closer. “Oh? What else don’t you let your employees do?”
She yanked me toward her. I stumbled forward, caging her against the wall.
“This?” She ran her hands under my jacket, up my ribcage.
“I’ll make an exception for you.”
She placed a hand on my chest and looked up at me, heavy-lidded, dark eyes pleading. I knew what she was asking of me.
My hand on the small of her back, I led her out of the room, thinking we’d go back to my place. But by the time we reached the bank of elevators, she was pressed against me. I pushed the DOWN button and turned to her, covering her mouth in a hot kiss as we groped each other hungrily.
No, this wouldn’t do. I was completely under her spell, and needed her now, with a fierceness I’d never felt before. I felt drunk, my mind only focused on one thing. Being with her, inside her, now.
“Come here,” I said, guiding her back to the bank of offices. I led her back to the enormous office. Her office.
I couldn’t think of a better way to christen it.
When I first met her, she was shy, timid, a little unadventurous. But since then, she’d transformed, and I’d like to think that I played a part in making her into a wild, uninhibited lover, easily the best and most exciting one I’d ever had. I couldn’t wait to get close to her again.
I pulled her flush against me and lowered my mouth down upon her waiting lips.
I was on the edge of losing it, just kissing her. I wanted her so bad. I delved my hands up her dress, running them up the well-shaped backs of her thighs, grabbing hold of her full ass. I ran my hands all over it, and even spanked it for good measure, as she let out a gasp of surprise.
“Well, this is the Health and Prosperity Division,” she groaned into my skin, laughing a little. “And there is nothing healthier than making love.”
Yes. Making love. That was exactly what we were doing.
I kissed her in the dim fluorescent light from the hallway, imagining her completely naked, all of that white skin bared to me as my hands roamed over her ass, feeling the dip of her lower back. All I could think about was sinking into her, feeling her tight, warm insides grip my cock.
I kissed her until she pressed her body up against the wall of her office and wrapped one strong thigh around my hip. Her sex rubbed up against my aching erection, and I groaned. She broke the kiss to say, “Let’s get these clothes off.”
With her help, I ripped open my pants in record speed, revealing my painfully hard cock. Her gasp only fueled my desire to be inside her, as fast as possible. My balls were tight and ready to burst if I didn’t get this release.
I licked into her mouth, fucking it hot and fast with my tongue, much like I’d soon be fucking her with my cock. She twined her arms around my neck, sifting her fingers through my hair. Lifting her leg higher around my hip, I drew her to me. In response, she arched her pelvis toward me and pressed her pussy against me so that I could feel the roughness of lace panties. I pushed them aside and felt the heat between us, so much heat.
“You don’t do this with all your employees, do you?” she asked coyly.
I let out a tight laugh. “Only the really cute ones.”
She bit down on her bottom lip, looking sexy as hell, and put her hand on my cock, the other one cupping my balls, making me feel fireworks of intense pleasure deep in my gut. “That’s good to know.”
And just like that, I was close. So close. Did she know what she was doing to me?
At the moment, I could only focus on her soft hand around my cock, stroking, pulling, squeezing, driving me mad. My balls drew up, and I knew I was close. It took every ounce of restraint I could muster to move her hand away.
I kissed her chin, then looked around. The windows didn’t have covers, but we were hidden enough. If anyone came onto the floor, the elevator’s ding would let us know in plenty of time. We were alone. Safe. And I’d never wanted anyone more.
So I tugged her down to the new plush carpet and laid her down in front of me. “I need to be inside you now,” I told her, hovering above her.
Her answer was to spread her legs and hitch her hips upward, brushing her wet sex against my cock.
That was all the answer I needed. Leaning down to kiss her, I brushed aside the barely-there fabric of her underwear and fit my cock to her entrance. As I slowly entered her, we both groaned. She was fucking sublime. How was it possible that every time with Juliana only felt better and better?
I knew I wouldn’t last long; maybe only a few thrusts. It was too good.
Her breasts rose and fell against my chest with her quick breaths. I squeezed them through the thin fabric of her dress as I started thrusting, filling her over and over again. She moaned, and the pleasure shot straight to my cock, making me even harder than before. She was so hot and wet and tight that my brain had shut off completely to everything but the sensation of where our bodies joined. I could only concentrate on how good she felt as she cooed my name in that breathy voice.
I started pounding into her, digging my knees into the new carpeting underneath me, my thrusts deep and sure. A low sound began in her throat, and she tilted her head back to the ceiling. Sitting up, I grabbed her hips and tilted them toward me as leverage to fuck her harder. Our skin slapped together, loud, animalistic, primal, and I was surprised the whole building hadn’t come running to see what was going on up here. I watched as my cock filled her, and it only served to drive me crazier, seeing her pussy gripping me, over and over again.
Her hips canted upward to match my thrusts, and I felt her tightening around me. She sank her teeth into the skin of my neck, closing her eyes as her body started to tremble toward orgasm.
“Oh, god, Zach, I’m coming!” she breathed into my ear, her body tensing and releasing, her pussy clenching even tighter. “Oh, god, it’s so good. You’re always so good.”
Close, my rhythm flagged, becoming jagged, desperate. I growled her name, gripping her hips, and then I came, deep within her as she screamed my name.
I collapsed by her side, breathing heavily. I pulled her to me, needing her close as we caught our breath.
She grinned as we both laid in the thick carpeting of what was soon to be her new office. I really didn’t give a shit what she did to the décor here. I didn’t care if they added a bunch of meditation pods or whatever it was they needed to perform the job. All I needed to make sure of was to have shades on all the windows, and a door with a lock, because I knew this wouldn’t be the last time we’d be together, like this, in here.
I already knew this wasn’t like any relationship I’d ever been in. It was far too intense, an explosion that had completely rocked my world.
I’d been intrigued by Juliana since I met her, then infatuated. Then obsessed. But now, it was more. Much more.
I was utterly, totally, and completely in love with her.
