and it just happened that damn fast. Guess that was what happened when a man found love.
We didn’t make love again until the next day. She was too sore to have sex twice that night.
**P**
My vacation came to an end, and it was time to return to work.
Sitting beside me in the backseat of the Burgundy Bentley, Kara’s breasts appeared especially perky in the coral knee length tight dress. Kara was so beautiful, she deserved dresses handmade for her figure. Once we arrived in Milan next week, I’d be sure to have several dresses and gowns designed just for her.
“I’m nervous, Collin.”
My lips melted against her matte pink lips. “Don’t be.”
Harry halted outside the elevator in the parking garage.
“I’ll call you when Kara’s on her way down.”
He nodded.
I assisted Kara out of the car. We rode the elevator up to my office floor.
She took a deep breath and clutched my hand before the elevator doors slid open.
We strolled through the cubicles. My heart beat thudded my chest. I’d never dated a woman. It was a foreign act.
“Hello, Mr. Daughtry,” one by one they chimed.
I greeted them in route to my office.
“Hello Ruby.” We halted at her desk.
She rose, then scurried toward us. “It’s so good to see you, Mr. Daughtry. This must be Ms. Riley.”
She wrapped her arms around Kara. “Nice to meet you.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you too.”
Ruby stepped back. A smile was plastered across her brown face.
“Mr. Daughtry has never brought a woman to the office. God, you’re beautiful.”
She blushed. “Please call me Kara.”
“Ok. I was instructed to help you find new dresses. If it’s all right, I can come by around nine in the morning?”
Kara released my hand. “Yes, that’s fine. Can you ensure there’s a mix of casual wear too?”
“Absolutely.” She winked.
I felt eyes burning a hole in my back.
“Is Bryce in yet?”
She glanced at her watch. “He should arrive in five minutes.”
“Ask him to step into my office once he gets in.”
“Will do.”
I led Kara into my office.
“What a view.” She gravitated to the floor to ceiling window.
Kara tugged at the diamond studded earrings. My arms wrapped around her waist and my chin rested on top of her head.
“You don’t like the earrings?”
“Collin, I told you I love them. They’re just so expensive. Sterling silver earrings would have been fine. I’m afraid I’ll lose them.”
“Kara, don’t worry about it.”
“Ok.” She turned in my arms. “We didn’t make love this morning.” Her eyes searched mine.
“I’m trying to have some sort of self-control.”
She laughed and her head fell against my chest. “I think we’re screwed. Stroking your cock this morning crossed my mind.”
My lips tipped up at one end. “That would have been perfect.” I pointed over my shoulder toward my desk.
“I’d be happy to lay you across my desk and watch my cock slide in and out of that good fucking pussy.” My lips fell against hers.
“I want that, Collin,” she murmured.
Heavy knuckles fell upon the open door. “I see you’re back.”
Shit, Bryce had perfect timing.
I turned, releasing Kara.
“Bryce, what’s up, brother?”
He threw his arms around me. “You tell me.” He stepped back.
“This must be Kara.” Bryson grinned from ear to ear as he stretched his hand out toward her.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Likewise.” His eyes roved over her body.
“You’re not his normal type. No offense.”
She slipped her hair over her shoulder. “None taken.”
“Bryce, chill,” I grimaced.
“Not used to wearing stilettos, huh?”
Her eyes narrowed. “No, I’m not.”
“It shows. Pretty sure you want to toss them across the room. He set you up real nice. Christian Louboutin’s. You look much different. In the photos you wore ski pants and a bulky coat. Probably never wore a dress either. Collin, downgraded from Hollywood chicks to Alaskan cabin sluts.”
My blood was burning through my veins. I grabbed his collar and shoved him against the wall. “Motherfucker, I don’t give a shit how long we’ve been best friends.”
“Collin, stop,” Kara pleaded.
“She’s my future wife, you fucking bastard. You will respect her. I don’t give a shit about the skanks I fucked in the past. She ain’t none of them. And damn sure won’t ever be shared. My woman has more class than any of them. Let me know if you want us to part ways in this business venture.”
Kara yanked my arm. I glanced at my hands wrapped around his neck. A comical smile covered his lips. I released him.
He fell back against the wall, gripping his neck, coughing. I didn’t even realize his perfect blond hair shook loose.
“Fuck you,
