I need to come, please make me come. Please come inside of me!”
Reaching underneath her, he lifted her hips, raising her core to him, then slipped his cock inside her. She gasped with delight as he began moving his hips. She moved hers, too, and they soon got into a rhythm. This time, the more she thrust against him, the harder he thrust into her. She was crying out and ready to come, harder than she ever had in her life, when she finally felt his body tense and his cock pulse inside of her. They both came then, with reckless abandon.
She drifted on a haze of fulfillment.
Feeling like every worry in her life had ceased to exist.
Longing to spend the rest of eternity just luxuriating in his arms.
Chapter 11
Cara hadn’t meant to fall asleep. She hadn’t meant to spend the night. Hot, sweaty sex with the boss was one thing; spending the night in his swanky Manhattan apartment was entirely something else. To make matters worse, she woke up less than two hours before she had to be at work, tangled up so tightly in his arms and legs that she couldn’t even sneak out.
“Branden…”
“Hmm?”
“I need to get up.”
“Huh-uh,” he mumbled sleepily.
She shifted and came up to rest on her elbows. Next to her, on his side, slightly curled around her form, lay Branden. With his body fully relaxed and his eyes shut, lashes soft on his cheeks, he looked almost…vulnerable.
How incongruent from the strong, dominating man who’d taken her so roughly and thoroughly just a few hours before.
A lightness filled her, as if her heart were floating inside her chest.
“Um…yeah, I have to go.”
He stirred, but just slightly, and his eyes stayed shut. Softly, he said, “I don’t want you to get up. I like you underneath me.”
She laughed. “Yeah, you made that pretty obvious. But I have to get ready for work.”
“Is your boss a really big jerk?”
“He’s not that big,” she joked.
He moved his legs. As he did, she felt the brush of his semi-hard erection against her thigh. He opened his beautiful brown eyes, looked into hers, and smiled. “Good morning,” he said.
“Good morning,” she said back, then sat all the way up. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back toward him, sliding his hand up across her breast as he did.
“Stop that. I have to go!” she scolded.
“Five minutes,” he said petulantly, like a child who didn’t want to get out of bed and go to school.
“Considering last night, I doubt you could stick to that time limit.”
“That was a fluke,” he said with a grin. “Usually I’m only good for three or four minutes.”
“You’re lying to get me back in bed,” she said. With a moan she added, “And the way you’re rubbing my nipple is not helping, either.”
“I admit to lying,” he said. “But rubbing your nipple is helping. It’s helping me…um…”
She turned to him and planted a soft kiss on his lips. When he loosened his grip on her, she squirmed away and jumped out of the bed.
He groaned and tried to reach out and grab her again just as his intercom buzzed. “Shit, it’s too early.” He put the pillow over his head while Cara wiggled back into her clothes, tying her now button-free blouse at her waist.
“It’s kind of hard to see how you do so well on Wall Street. You know…the early bird and all that.”
He took the pillow down far enough to glower at her, then the buzzer rang once more. He rolled over and pushed a button next to his bed and snapped out, “What?”
“I’m sorry, sir. Mr. Alex Samuels is here. He says it’s important.”
Branden groaned and swiped a hand over his face. “Send him up, Nolan. And I’m sorry I was so short with you.”
“Not a problem, sir. I’m not a morning person myself.”
Cara caught Branden’s eye as he turned back to her. “Who’s Alex?”
“A member of my team I brought to D&M with me.”
Great. So someone from the office. Last night she’d defied the potential rumormongers and had gone for what she wanted. Branden. But advertising she was indeed sleeping with the boss wasn’t such a great idea.
“It’s okay. Alex is a friend. He would never say anything about seeing you here,” he told her as he swung his long legs over the side of the bed.
Cara couldn’t help herself; she had to let her eyes wander over him one last time.
