And then his lips crashed into mine.
My body ignited from its claiming nature, and I melted into his arms, relief, and passion flaring through my veins. The feeling of Vlad holding me to him, claiming my lips so entirely, pulled me into a dream world that I was still shocked was my reality.
Thrilled beyond anything I’ve ever known, I flung my arms around his neck. I’d been waiting for kisses like this for years, and my need for Vlad boiled over like a volcano.
God, he tastes like fucking heaven.
Lingering coffee dressed his tongue, but also that stirring magic that was one hundred percent pure Vlad. My heartpounded against my ribcage, and my pussy clenched as he pulled arousal from me like he was playing the harp, an expert in creating intoxicating melodies.
Vlad’s firm grip on my neck yanked me to his chest all the harder as the other snaked around my back toward my hips. He smoothed my body against him before squeezing my ass in a sharp tease.
A tiny moan bled from me, absorbed by our kisses, and then Vlad’s tongue slipped between my lips, exploring me. Heat bloomed in my cheeks and trickled down my spine, my entire being desperate for everything this incredible man could give me. I didn’t care about how we’d met or what kind of “job” he had. I just wanted Vlad—in every way for always.
Suddenly, the silky fabric of my skirt was bunching up my leg, and I was so damn thrilled that I’d chosen to wear it today. Vlad explored my mouth all the more, his tongue as eager as his fingers.
“Wait,” I whispered against his lips. “Just one second.”
He paused, and I smiled as I reached past him toward the desk to snag the ring he’d returned. Taking his hand, I put the small bad inside it and then closed his fingers over the shiny metal.
“You keep it. It’s meant to be with you.”
Vlad grinned, tucking the ring into his pocket. “You’re meant to be with me.”
And with that Vlad was right back to kissing me, sending my body into a haywire mess of sensations as he ramped the moment right back up.
My pussy clamped around nothing as Vlad dragged his hands over more of my skin, walking me backward toward thewall right next to my office door. Hitting it with a soft thud, Vlad pinned me to the flat surface, taking both of my hands and holding them over my head with one hand.
Holy shit. Right here? Is that a good—
But then his lips were on my neck, and my thoughts short-circuited. I would never be able to deny what Vlad did to me, and I was tired of trying to. This was exactly what I wanted, and if it was right here in the office, so be it.
I wanted nothing more in the universe than to give myself over to the fire that blazed between us.
“Goddamn, baby. I need you—allof you.”
The words made my arousal flare brighter, and I remembered all the incredible things this man could do with his hands and tongue and…
“Vlad,” I mumbled against his lips, a needy plea for more.
Then his lips skimmed down my neck toward my breast as he began unbuttoning my shirt, and nothing else in the world mattered.
“Emory, you told me to remind you to take lunch today, so I’m reminding you. Did you want me to call for Chinese?”
Chuckling against Vlad’s lips, I leaned over his shoulder and called out. “No, Antoinette. I’m going home for the rest of the day. I have something important that I need to take care of.”
“Yeah, you do,” Vlad whispered, slipping his hand between my thighs.
“Oh, okay. Did you want me to move your last appointment?”
“Ye—” But Vlad gripped my panties right at the crotch, killing my words; it took everything to focus on what I wassaying. “Yes, please. Have them reschedule for tomorrow. I’m open m-most of the day.”
My head slammed back against the wall as Vlad teased my slit over my underwear. The fabric was already slick and wet from my arousal.
“Sure thing, Emory. See you tomorrow.”
“Yup!”
I couldn’t say anything else. I was far too distracted, and Vlad seemed to be loving every damn second of it. He grinned from ear to ear as I looked up at him, his hand pushing farther between my legs as he pressed me against the wall. In a blink, he yanked on my panties, and they tore through the crotch.
