then slamming it back in, deeper. She drew in a long breath, confused by the aftershocks of orgasm and the savage pace with which he fucked her ass, in and out. Each time, his balls slapped her thighs, causing lust to reignite within her. Each time he thrust into her, he nearly split her in half, but when he retreated, she threw back her hips, needing this man’s cock inside her. Needing him inside her. Needing him.
“Mine,” he said, voicing the word that had stirred her up and enhanced all the emotions swirling through her. God. Her poor, overworked clit came to life again, pulsing and tingling. This couldn’t be happening so soon, right?
He kept on ramming her, sending her to the edge, each shove adding to the delicious friction on the sensitive rim of her hole, until she groaned, letting pleasure claim her one more time, ripping tortured moans from her throat, increasing her body temperature so high she thought she was literally on fire.
Too weak to keep her elbows in place, she slumped on the mattress, face down, leaving only her ass lifted for him to enjoy.
One more thrust, and an animalistic growl filled the air. She didn’t have the energy to look behind her shoulder, but felt him jerking behind her, filling her with his hot load once more, his legs shaky and sweaty. When he fell down next to her, she turned her face to study him, to see the redness on his face, hear the way his breathing slowly calmed down. And to hope…that being with her affected him as much as being with him affected her.

“I set up the photo shoot with the guy from Texas. I shot him an email and a local photographer will send us the proofs as soon as she has them,” Jackie announced, walking into the office holding her tablet in one hand and a mug in the other.
“Great.”
“This weekend’s virgin is coming in for a costume fitting, and—”
“About that. I’m not sure I’ll be here for the auction. Would you feel comfortable doing it without me?” Alexa asked. She’d talked to Brooks about the possibility of going to visit the Grand Canyon for the weekend. For the past couple of days, she’d spent as much time in bed with him as possible—even though he kept his stuff at the hotel, they spent most of their free hours at her place.
Enjoy being with him while you can. The honeymoon would come to an end soon. The guy Brooks hired had told him he was nailing down a list of the top three employees who could have been involved with Pamela’s disappearance, but didn’t want to share his findings unless he knew for sure. So he’d asked for more time, and Brooks had reluctantly allowed it.
Jackie sat across from her. “But they expect to see you. No one knows me.”
“Then they will,” Alexa said. Why not? Tall and slim, with her pixie blond hair and bright green eyes, Jackie carried herself with professionalism and flair. She had a veneer of pragmatism about her that potential buyers would appreciate.
A flutter spiked Alexa’s pulse. Jackie would be a fine successor when Alexa left the business. Everything would fall into place.
Jackie took a sip of her coffee, then put it on the desk. “I hate to be nosy, but that man, Brooks Taylor… I’m worried about him.”
“Why?” Alexa asked. She’d noticed the way Jackie responded, with guarded indifference, whenever she mentioned Brooks. Amusement tickled her. Her assistant probably thought she was crazy to get involved with a man whose sister had almost been at the auction. A lump of apprehension thickened in her throat. I am crazy, but I can’t stop seeing Brooks.
A measure of concern washed over Jackie’s expression. “I’ve never seen you with anyone. If this story with his sister leaks, your name will be implicated. Who knows what this guy’s motives are?”
Alexa swallowed. “He wants to do right by his late sister.”
“Yeah, that’s what he says. But Brooks having this kind of sensitive information worries me. He could use it against you. What if he goes to the newspapers and tells them someone allegedly disappeared at an auction?”
Alexa clutched the arms of her chair. “He won’t. He doesn’t want to bring his family into this until he’s sure about what happened. He has an elderly mother with delicate health.” Of course, at some point, the truth would come out, but she hoped it’d be when the real culprit behind Pamela’s
