Under His Obsession - A Steamy Workplace Romance - Cathryn Fox Page 0,29
send me packing or meet me on the sand and accept the rules of the game. The move is risky on my part, but from the way he looks at me to the tortured curses I hear in his throat when I bend to dust... Yeah, he wants this as much as I do.
A noise sounds on the stairs behind me, but I don’t turn. This is Will’s private paradise, and the only one who can be coming my way is the man I want in my bed. My heart crashes against my ribs, pounds behind my eyes. His vibrating energy, volatile heat, reaches out to me, slides over my skin as he closes the distance. Staying perfectly still, I breathe deep, catching his scent.
He steps up behind me, his harsh breath so damn hot on my skin, I’m sure I’m going to ignite. I’m about to turn to face him when he stops me.
“Don’t move.”
I have no idea what it is about his strong commands that get to me. He runs his fingers from my shoulders to my elbows, and I shudder.
“I read your rules.” Warm lips brush my shoulder, and erotic sensation shoots straight to my sex.
“And?” I ask, a thrill going through me. If he’s kissing me, it must mean he’s in agreement.
“There are a lot of them.”
“Not compared to the two hundred rules you have. But enough to keep us on track. No mistakes. No misunderstandings.”
“Yes, that’s why rules are important.”
“Very important,” I agree.
His teeth graze my flesh as his hands drop to my waist, shape my curves. “New rules for sleeping with the assistant. I never would have thought of that.”
“But you agree with them?” I ask, my voice coming out a breathless whisper.
Touch me already.
“Arms above your head.”
My pulse leaps, and I swallow as I do as he commands. A warm breeze washes over my naked body as Will steps close enough for me to feel his hard cock pressing against the small of my back.
“I’m still trying to decide,” he says, and I feel a moment of panic. Him being here, touching me, his blatant arousal...aren’t they all signs that he’s made up his mind?
“Decide what?” I ask, doing my best not to sound as needy as I feel.
“What the punishment for breaking my dishes should be.”
I scrape my teeth over my dry bottom lip. “It’s a big decision.”
“Very big,” he says, his fingers biting into my hips as he pulls me against his hardness. I wiggle, grind against him, and his deep groan of approval is my glorious reward. Damn, I love how I get to this man.
His big warm hands leave my hips, begin a heated journey up my stomach until he has two handfuls of my breasts.
“These,” he begins, as he kneads my flesh, “have been driving me crazy for days now.”
“Sorry, sir,” I tease.
“Jesus, Khloe.” He growls into my ear, and my body shudders. “You’ve been fucking with me, haven’t you?”
“Who, me, sir?”
“Yeah, you.” One hand leaves my breasts, and he shifts his stance to grab my ass. He squeezes, pulls his hand back and gives me a small slap. I let out a little yelp.
“What...what was that for?” I ask, a new kind of pleasure dancing on my flesh.
“For pushing my buttons.” He takes my hands, puts them by my sides and steps back. He goes silent for so long, I’d think he’d retreated if not for the tortured sound of his breathing.
“Like what you see, sir?” I ask, just to get a rise out of him.
“Turn around.”
Sand squishes beneath my shoes as I slowly spin, and my breath catches when the heat in his eyes burns my flesh. I have never seen that look on a man’s face before. Intense, frustrated, excited...needy.
“Yes, I like what I see.”
My gaze leaves his face, takes in his loose blue T-shirt, going lower to examine the bulge in his khaki shorts. My mouth waters, and my fingers itch to close around him, weigh him in my palm.
“I’m not seeing enough,” I say. His body stiffens, and as he grumbles a curse, I bite back a grin. I have no idea what it is about this man that brings out the bold side in me, but I love his reactions.
“Widen your legs,” he commands.
I spread my legs, and my sex moistens, my inner thighs becoming so wet, I’m sure he can see them glistening. His deep groan confirms it.
He rubs his hand over himself. “Every night in bed, I take my cock
