will send me over the edge into multiple waves, each more powerful than the next.” My voice has dropped to a low bluesy cadence that has his eyes locked on me like I’ve hypnotized him with just my words.
His jaw clenches as a low noise tears from his chest.
“Is that a groan?”
He rakes a hand through his hair. “What are we doing?”
“Good question.” I raise my hands in surrender. “I don’t know.”
“Being near you, it’s as if I’m losing my fucking mind.”
I open my mouth and close it. No one has ever wanted me like this, not with such a desperate edge, a sharpness that cuts into my heart like an invisible knife. “But it seems like you have all the control. What with bossing people around—”
“Bossing?”
“You are a control freak and love it. Don’t try to deny—”
“I have a vision for how things could be, and only one thing ever stands in the way…”
“Go on.”
“People.”
I shrug. “You’re a dictator.”
“I’d love to tell you exactly what to do. Command you to slide down those straps to reveal those perfect breasts. I’ve never seen their equal.” His gaze devours me whole and I drop a centimeter lower, breathing fast as pressure radiates through my hips.
“Let me see.”
Do I detect a hint of begging? Because I could so get used to that. There’s no power quite like bringing a powerful man to his knees. “What do I get in return?” I ask. “So far, this whole game is all about you. Your curiosity. Your pleasure. If you truly want touch, then you must want more, a connection with another person.”
A muscle in his jaw tics. “Perhaps.”
“If that’s true, then you need to give back, not just take, take, take. You can’t always be the boss.”
“What is it you want?” he asks quietly, a hint that he’d like to give me anything if only he let loose his legendary control.
I deliberate for a moment, arousal throbbing through me. “A secret.”
“Secret?” He startles, a tenor of uncertainty entering his voice. “Of what sort?”
“Something no one else knows.”
His sudden savage grin should frighten me. I am sure he intends it to. “I have plenty of those.”
“Good. Then you may watch, and then you must share one with me.”
“I agree to your terms.” He gestures for me to continue.
I take a deep breath, prepare myself because in around another five seconds I’ll start coming in front of my boss and after that, he’s never going to see me in the same way. This choice can’t be undone. Three…
Two…
One.
I drop against the jet and the thick stream of water pummels my pussy. His gaze locks on mine and I clench hard and, yep, it’s like I thought. My orgasm is upon me in an instant, tearing through my body in relentless waves. My head rocks back. All I can do or focus on is getting closer to the jet, the force, the power. The whole mad ride, my gaze doesn’t break his.
His lips part a fraction and he leans forward, so slightly it’s almost as if he’s still, a transfixed statue, but I can’t pretend this isn’t happening. Not when my entire body is pared down to a frisson of pure pleasure. I’m flayed to nothing as this intense sensation radiates from my clit, pulsing through my thighs and tightening my belly, everything gathering to explode, and when I let out a moan, it’s as if the big bang has contracted back to a tiny mass so small it can fit on the head of a pin, only to hurl itself out again, stronger this time. I writhe, riding the water, rocking my pelvis against it, and I should laugh now in sweet victory because Z has lost his cynical demeanor, that hard-ass attitude that demands crisp speech and precision thought at all times. He’s undone as much as me. I can see it in the way his kaleidoscope eyes glue to my body as I give him this, my second orgasm in a row. Not sure I can physically bear more. My body is wrung out and nerves exhausted, but I hate for this moment to end.
I’m more than a pretty doll to him, something to dress up and smile and be charming. That’s how my parents viewed me until I was discarded like a plaything they no longer needed. Sure, Mom offered a few crocodile tears, but never once suggested actually repaying their debts.
The longer he stares, the more his gaze picks my locks and
