Page 21 of Everything I Need

“I’ve been thinking about this since our dinner,” He murmurs, kissing a trail down my neck. "Dreamt about it all night."

My body melts into his. I momentarily forget that I am the brave one here. When my brain catches up I move my hands under his shirt. My god does this man have abs. Washboard abs. And his back, I didn’t even know men could have that many muscles on their back. I move my mouth along his jawline and down his neck while my hands travel to his waistband.

“Scarlett, that’s not a good idea. My brother will be here soon.” He moans but makes no effort to stop me.

“You started it.” I say breathlessly. When was the last time I was this out of control with a man? Probably the last time I was with Preston.

Spinning me around so my back is to his chest, he nips my earlobe, and whispers, “I intend to finish it as well.”

He loops an arm around my stomach and his hand travels down to my waistband. Into my lace panties. All the while kissing along my favorite spot on my neck. It seems he remembers my body the same way I remember his.

“Preston.” I’m not sure if I speak his name or just moan incoherent sounds. Either way it urges him on further.

“You’re so wet already, Scarlett. Just like always.” He drags his finger over my sensitive clit and it feels like I’m in heaven. I buck against his hand and place my arm around his neck for support. After a moment, I feel his fingers enter me. I had forgotten how magical this man’s fingers could be.

“Preston, please.” I moan out.

“Please what, Scarlett?” He whispers into my neck. At the same moment he places his palm on my clit, applying the perfect amount of pressure. Just like he always did to push me closer to the edge. God, his hands feel so good.

“That’s it, Scarlett. Keep going. You’re close, I can tell.” He urges me, increasing his pressure.

“Preston!” I am panting his name at this point. I’d never felt anything like him in my life. No matter how hard I tried to find it again.

Suddenly, I’m jerked from my pleasured state when I hear the door jingle up front.

“Yo, Preston. You here?” A voice comes from the front office.

Shit. Colton is here. Panic starts to set in. I pull away only to be hauled back against those hard wonderful abs.

“Finishing up with my business consultant. Be right out!” Preston yells in response, but he doesn’t stop what he is doing to me.

Preston doesn’t relent. If anything, he goes faster, if I thought him touching me slowly was pure torture, this speed was bound to put me over the edge.

“Preston. I’m so close. Keep. Going. Please.” I breathe out on a whisper.

I can barely get out the words, and no longer care that his brother is up front. With one more drag of his fingers across my clit I lose it. I spiral into the most amazing orgasm I’ve had in a long time. Before I can scream my pleasure I am spun around, and Preston swallows my screams with a bone numbing kiss. I sink into his embrace and stare at this gorgeous man who somehow seems so perfect for me. Even if I’m trying, and failing, to fight it emotionally.

“You, Scarlett, are the most delectable woman and I can’t wait to feel you again.” He whispers in my ear. His warm breath sends goosebumps all over my body.

He grips my ass cheeks and pulls me in closer for one more kiss. Leaving my face fully flushed.

“My brother is out there. We should probably make an appearance soon.” Brother, right. Colton came while we were, well, not being very professional.

“Preston, I . . . ” I start to say how we shouldn’t keep doing this.

“Don’t. Please don’t push me away, Scarlett. I know you feel what is going on between us. I’ve waited five years to kiss you again, to feel you in my arms, and you taking this job was for me to get closer to you, selfishly. I know you feel it too. Don’t shut me out. Please” His deep amber eyes plead with me.

“Okay. I’ll try.” How could I deny him? He’s been laying it all out for me and I’m the one who's been guarded.

“Okay.” He kisses me so softly on the forehead I wonder if I hadn’t watched him kiss me, if I’d even notice.

How did things go so fast? How did he know exactly what I was feeling? I need my head to catch up with my feelings, or at least my body.

He leads me out of the room and out into the main office area.

“Hey, Colt! How are you?” He says happily.

They pull each other in for one of those man hugs with a slap on the back. Their interaction makes me chuckle.
