Mercury's War(72)

His tongue was wicked. Wicked and sensual and lapping at her as though he loved the taste of her. As though nothing mattered as much, nothing was as important as making her insane with the pleasure rising hard and sharp inside her.

She was an inferno. She was gasping, desperate and oh so very close to coming. Spread out in the office chair, taking his licks as though she had demanded them. Rising to him, perspiration building on her skin as she felt a finger slide inside her. Then two. Then he was pumping them into the gripping depths of her vagina, twisting and stroking as his lips covered her clit.

He suckled the little bud inside his mouth. He kissed it, laved it with his tongue, then drew on it with gentle pulls of his lips, creating a friction that finally, devastatingly sent her exploding into complete ecstasy.

Her legs lifted, wrapped around his shoulders as she shuddered, shaking, and bit her lips to hold back the cries that refused to stay silent.

There was no staying silent in Mercury's arms. It just couldn't happen. Her wail was muffled, but it shook her body, seemed to echo around her and to gain in momentum as the pleasure exploded through her again and again.

Gentle licks for long moments eased her from the incredible heights. Tender hands pulled her legs free of his shoulders and he straightened, his fingers gripping his c**k as he pressed it against her.

"Take all of me," he demanded, his expression intense, fierce. "Everything I have."

"I'll scream," she moaned hoarsely, feeling the broad head of his c**k pressing into her, possessing. "Oh, Mercury, I'm going to scream."

His lips covered hers as he pierced her, impaling her with tight, heavy strokes. Working into her. Stretching her. He covered her screams, gripped her rear and lifted her closer before he began pounding into her.

This wasn't slow and easy. It wasn't careful and gentle. It was taking and giving; it was marking each other, sharing breaths, touches and ultimately a release that tore through her mind and left her shuddering in his arms.

Arms that held her tight against him. Sheltered her. And when it was over, stroked the last of the tremors away.

CHAPTER 16

Ria had never had office sex in her life. She knew Dane had, quite often. She had covered for him several times, rolling her eyes at the habit he seemed to have acquired. But she had never seen the benefits of it.

Until Mercury.

And if she was smug over the pleasure to be found, the wicked naughtiness it filled her with, then Mercury was downright cocky about it as he sat in the chair across from her hours later.

Pretending to read that damned magazine. He would watch her over the top of it, his lashes lowered over his eyes, his expression sensual.

Ria controlled her need to experience the sensations again, though. She copied the work she needed, removed the ghost drive, and as he watched, she tucked it carefully in her bra, beneath her breast.

His tongue touched his lower lip and her nipple hardened.

"Stop that." She tried not to laugh. "The first chance I get, I'm informing Jonas how little he knows his Breeds. You're the quiet, calm Breed. Remember?"

His brows lifted. "Sorry, sweetheart, his chest doesn't hold the appeal your br**sts do."

She rolled her eyes as she stood to go.

She pulled over her arms the leather coat he had managed to have waiting on her this morning, and shrugged into it before wrapping it around her and picking up her purse.

She looked up at the camera above them as Mercury snagged his own jacket from it. He grinned at her as he did so, then looked back at the camera and snarled.

She could just imagine Austin Crowl jerking back in alarm.

"I thought Breeds were all tough and hard and merciless," she commented as he pulled the lighter jacket on.

"The scientists experimented with advanced intelligence in Breeds like Austin." He shook his head. "They didn't program in the genetics for strength and predatory awareness because they felt it would give those particular Breeds the power to overthrow them."

She arched her brow. "You could do his job with your hands tied behind your back. I've seen your file."

"But I wouldn't have the patience." He shrugged. "Austin is good at what he does, or at least he used to be. He's always been a little superior, a little bullish, but he was damned stupid the other day."

"No, he was certain of himself," she stated. "He thought he had power backing him."

Mercury nodded as they left the office and started down the deserted hallway toward the main section of the house.
