“I like TikTok, but it is addicting,” Joe said. “Like riding a train with such great scenery, you never want to get off.”
“I couldn’t agree more,” Sasha said. “I’m so busy on the ranch, I appreciate the quickies that I can sneak in, but I find they only whet my appetite.” Her gaze flicked to Ezra. “Come midnight, I’m riding that train for all its worth, and it doesn’t matter how many times I get off. I always end up going back for more.”
Ezra stifled a chuckle.
“Is there extra liability in that type of advertising?” Joe asked.
“There’s liability in everything,” Nora said. “As with any investment, you should always make sure your assets are covered.”
Sasha turned her back to the others, acting like she was looking around the room as she whispered, “My assets are definitely not covered tonight. I forgot to wear panties.”
Holy. Hell.Was she trying to kill him?
“My assets are definitely on the rise.” Ezra took the glass from her, downing his drink and earning another victorious grin as she turned back to the group.
“If you don’t mind me asking, what have you found that’s working so well?” Nora asked, looking directly at Ezra.
“Yes, Ezra, please share. What’s got your assets rising?” Amusement danced in Sasha’s eyes.
A sassy blonde with a killer body and eyes that drive me wildwas on the tip of his tongue. “I recently veered away from my typical short-term investments, which weren’t doing much for me, and I took a chance on a riskier route with a longer-term strategy. It’s paying off triple-fold, but you know what they say. A gentleman never gives away all his secrets.”
“I admire that in a man,” Sasha said as the band began playing.
“I think that’s enough business talk for me,” Justine said. “Sasha, I love your dress. Where did you get it?”
“My sister turned me on to this great shop in Allure called Luxe Looks. They haveeverything.” She touched her collarbone. “I should’ve worn a necklace, but I couldn’t decide between silver and gold.”
“Hm, that is a tough one,” Justine said. “Either would probably look great.”
Ezra knew he’d probably go straight to hell for what he was about to say, but he couldn’t help himself. “I’m no expert on accessories, but I think a pearl necklace would look nice.”
The heat in Sasha’s eyes was palpable.
“You know what? I think he’s right,” Justine said. “That’s much classier.”
Sasha coughed to cover the laugh she was futilely trying to stifle.
“Are you okay?” Ezra rubbed her back.
“Yes. Thank you.”
Her pink cheeks were killing him. “If you’ll excuse us. I’d like to take my colleague for a spin on the dance floor.” He set his empty glass on a table and led her onto the dance floor.
“Apearlnecklace?” she asked as he drew her into his arms.
“You’re the one who taunted me with your pantiless comment.” He slid his hand down her back, resting on the curve at the base of her spine. “I’ve been dying to be close to you all night, Bo Peep.”
She smiled. “Me too.”
He felt her heart beating faster and lowered his mouth beside her ear. “Do you know how badly I want to taste you right now?”
“As badly as I want you to.” She ran her fingers along the back of his neck, the intimate touch making him ache for her even more. “It’s after Gus’s bedtime. If anything was going to happen, wouldn’t we know by now?”
He should be used to hearing her saywewith regard to Gus, but it struck him deeper tonight. He was wound so tight with restraint, so full of lust and love, one look in her hopeful eyes snapped his resolve. “Fuck it. You’re right. Let’s get out of here.” He took her hand, hurrying out of the banquet room toward the front desk.
It didn’t take long to get a room, but every minute felt like an hour. They caught the elevator, and thankfully they were alone on the ride up to their floor. The second the doors closed, Ezra’s mouth was on hers, his hands roaming over the woman whose body he knew by heart. Sasha moaned, bowing off the elevator wall and rubbing against him.
He tore his mouth away when the elevator stopped on their floor, and a few rampant beats later he was kicking their hotel room door shut behind them as they stumbled toward the bedroom, stripping off each other’s clothes. The second he stepped out of his boxer briefs, she fisted his cock and dropped to her knees, taking him into her mouth. “Fuuck, baby.” Their eyes locked. “You’re so fucking beautiful, taking my cock.” He pushed his fingers into her hair as she stroked and sucked, driving him out of his mind. Engulfed in pleasure, he was dangerously close to coming. He withdrew with a primal growl and lifted her to her feet. “You’retoogood at that, baby. I don’t want to come yet.” He kissed her swollen lips, loving the feel of her naked body against his as he lowered them to the bed.
