She yelped with the surprise attack and scurried onto the mattress.

The bedroom light clicked off, but the sun was still up and casting its early evening glow through the blinds. The bed shifted under his weight. He snaked his arm underneath her lower back, forcing her to arch off the bed as his hot mouth found her breast.

“Spread your thighs,” he whispered against her skin.

She eagerly did what he said, unashamed.

His deep laugh vibrated against her body. “You act like you enjoy being told what to do now.” He cupped her sex before sliding his fingers into her heat. “God, you’re so wet.” He drew them in and out. “Open the condom. As soon as you come, I’mtaking you. Tell me again this is what you want before we both get carried away.”

“I’ll tell you yes a million times,” Ella said as she opened the condom. She sat up, shoving him onto his back. “And I’ll even put it on myself.” She stroked him up and down with her hand before rolling it down his shaft.

He grabbed her by the hips, nearly picking her up from that position. She’d expected him to set her on his cock, but nope. He bypassed that and set her down right on top of his face.

Ella wiggled. “I’m going to suffocate you.”

“I hope so,” he murmured as he kissed her inner thigh. “Now sit your ass down on my face and drown me.”

Closing her eyes against the embarrassment, she lowered herself an inch.

Grumbling something, Damon didn’t give her a choice and overpowered her, forcing her down.

The first touch of his mouth and her worry and brain left the bedroom.

“Shit,” she moaned, head falling back as she rode his face. Holding onto the headboard, she took the pleasure. Raw. Pure. Everything in her simmered with the building heat.

A minute or so into it, record time for her, the orgasm hit hard.

After her first wave of pleasure, Damon picked her up again. This time, he set her right where she expected, his cock stretching her as she took all of him in with that first motion.

“You can ride me later.” He rolled her to her back, dragging her hips up his legs and spreading her thighs wide. He thumbed her clit as he continued to thrust. Each time, it hit a spot inside that gave her a different kind of pleasure.

She reached her hands above her, letting him have full control.

“I wish you could see how fucking sexy you look right now, laid out, my dick sliding in and out.” He reached forward, his fingers grazing along her neck and causing a shiver to course through her body. “Those pearls.” A wicked smile curled his lips. “Next time, you’ll get a chance to see what I see.” He picked her legs up, her ankles crossing behind his neck. “In front of a mirror.”

She rolled her head to the side, the effect of his change in angle immediately setting off another, softer orgasm.

He quickened the pace.

“That’s it. God, you feel so fucking good.” He threw his head back, holding deep inside her, finishing.

He fell on top of her, heart pounding in his chest. He kissed her shoulder and neck, his beard tickling her skin. “I plan on doing that another million times if that’s okay with you.”

She smiled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, closing her eyes and loving him being so close. “Absolutely. A million and one times should be enough.”

Xavier made good on his promise to stay away the next day. And for the second day in a row, Ella sat at Damon’s kitchen table, his laptop in front of her, her genius fully on display. She’d begged him to let her go through his accounting records and investments, the same way a kid might ask for a candy bar. If she wanted to spend her off days from Cager working, then fine with him. He’d grown up middle class, busted his ass in the Marines, and the rest of his wealth came solely from Xavier’s and his business ventures in real estate. And if she could see anything to help him to improve his profitability, he’d take it.

So far, she’d identified two properties to sell and was now analyzing the sales contract for an apartment building near Atlanta he’d considered. And based on her suggestion, he’d arranged a meeting with the owner of an empty lot of land that wasn’t for sale…yet.

“You need to consider a property management company in Atlanta. That’s too far away for you and Xavier to cover alone. I’ll email you a few suggestions. Take them or leave them.” Ella scribbled something on the notepad beside her, making a tinyhumming noise before looking back at the screen. She’d done so much math on the paper, and in her head, Damon couldn’t attempt to keep up.

“Also, I’ll put you in touch with our legal team to form a separate division. The more protection you have between you and these ventures, the better. You don’t want one thing to go to hell and give anyone a chance to touch the rest.” She looked up, no makeup, no smile, all business. “I assume Xavier will go along with whatever you decide? I’ve sent him a few emails, too. He hasn’t responded.”

“Of course.”

She nodded. “Good.”
