Blake’s hand, already low on her belly, traveled farther down, his fingers inching past her panty line, stopping when they reached the edge of her pubic bone. And though she wasn’t an exhibitionist, she wasn’t sure how hard she’d protest if he decided to dip them even lower. His other hand moved from her hip, coasting up her ribcage until it hit the underside of her breast.

His lips trailed along her jaw, his tongue peeking out to taste her skin. “Tell your friend you’re on my time now.”

Nice.

He let her go, but only after making sure she was steady on her heels. That took a moment—the soft caress of his lips across her jaw and his whispered words were a deadly combination to her equilibrium.

She found Allie not too far away, dancing within a small group. She shouted to be heard over the music. “I’ll be back in a little bit.”

Allie’s eyes traveled up, and seeing Blake behind her, gave Gwen a sly smile and a nod.

That was all the confirmation Blake needed to have him taking hold of her hand and leading her off the dance floor. It didn’t seem more than a blink and they were in his office.

And he was on her in less than a blink after that.

Against the door, he had her wrists in his grip, pressed to the wooden surface on either side of her head. His mouth hit her neck, sucking on the flesh there, pulling it into his mouth and biting gently with his teeth.

His lips traveled up the underside of her chin until they hit her lips. No soft kiss that time, his tongue parted her lips easily and dived right in. She moaned—she couldn’t help it—the kiss was that good.

He let go of her wrists to grab the back of her thighs, hiking her up. Her arms flew forward, grasping his shoulders for balance, and she heard a ripping sound, knowing the seam of her dress had taken a hit.

He pressed in, grinding himself against her, and she tilted her pelvis, begging for more. She didn’t have to beg. Moving a hand under her ass, he used his other to find the edge of her panties, his fingers sliding under and entering her in one sure stroke.

“I’m gonna make you come then lick you from my fingers.”

Oh, God. Yes, please.

Her head fell back, exposing her neck, and Blake took advantage, burying his face there. His thumb hit her clit while his fingers worked her, scissoring in and out, hitting all the right spots. Her hips had a mind of their own in their quest for pleasure, jerking against his hand as she soared higher and higher.

So close—she was so close. “Almost there,” she murmured between breaths. She lost his face at her neck and slit her eyes open to find Blake’s boring into her.

“Not gonna miss you coming for the first time.”

And he didn’t. He watched as her whole body spasmed. Her toes curled inside her shoes, her fingers digging into his shoulders as she was hit with wave after wave of sensation.

She went limp, and he did as promised, slipping his fingers from her and sucking them clean, staring at her all the while with eyes blazing. And she couldn’t believe it, but just that sight alone had her zinging back to life, ready for another round.

His phone rang.

“Fuck.” His sharp curse was not quiet and held a note of aggravation.

He gently lowered her to her feet then reached into his back pocket, looking at the screen before tapping it and holding it to his ear. “Yeah?” His expression lost its annoyance from a moment ago to be replaced with concern. “I’ll be there in a minute.”

Shoving the phone back in his pocket, he kissed her temple. “I’ve gotta go take care of something. I shouldn’t be too long. You’re welcome to wait here.”

She shook her head. “I think I’ll pop into your bathroom to clean up then find Allie.”

He skimmed a finger down her cheek. “I wouldn’t leave right now if it wasn’t important.”

“You don’t need to apologize. I know you have a business to run.” When he seemed to hesitate, she playfully pushed his shoulder. “Go. I’ll save this up and use it as a guilt trip the next time I don’t get my way.”

He smirked. “With my track record, that’ll be later tonight.”

“More than likely.” She issued a small chuckle then gave him another small push. “Now go before the place falls down around us.”

He shook his head, gave her a light kiss on the lips, then was gone.

Unmoving, she stared at the door after it clicked shut, savoring the feel of his phantom touch. A small grin tipped her lips. If he could make her feel that good with just his fingers, she couldn’t wait to find out what he could do with other things.
