He pulled back slightly, his green eyes dark with desire as they met mine. “Tell me you want this, Jade.”

“I want this,” I breathed. “I want you.”

A wicked grin spread across his face before he captured my lips again in a searing kiss. Liam’s hand trailed down my body, his touch leaving fire in its wake. He slipped his fingers between my thighs, causing a moan to escape my lips.

“How many times have you whimpered like that to thoughts of this?” he murmured against my neck, his breath hot on my skin. His fingers moved teasingly, sending jolts of pleasure through me. I couldn’t think straight. My mind was clouded with desire, every nerve ending on fire. I arched into his touch, craving more.

“Tell me,” Liam demanded, his voice low and husky. “Have you?”

I could barely form coherent thoughts as Liam’s fingers worked their magic. “Yes,” I half-moaned, half-whispered. My hips bucked involuntarily, seeking more friction.

Liam’s lips curved into a satisfied smirk against my neck. “Fuck, kitten, you’re already so wet for me.” His voice sent shivers down my spine. I gripped his shoulders, desperately trying to anchor myself as waves of pleasure washed over me. I was drowning in sensation, lost in the feel of his touch, his scent surrounding me.

He kissed a trail along my jaw, then down my neck, nipping and sucking as he went. All the while, his fingers worked relentlessly, bringing me closer and closer to the edge. I was so close. My breath came in short gasps, my body trembling with need. Just a little more… Suddenly, Liam’s fingers stilled. I groaned in frustration, my body aching for release.

“Liam, please.” I whimpered, not caring how needy I sounded. I’d deal with my pride later. Right now, all I wanted was for him to continue.

“No… not so fast,” Liam growled against my ear. “I’m going to torment you, just like you have me from the moment you showed up in my office.”

My heart raced as he lifted me off the wall. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist, clinging to him as he carried me away. Each step jostled us, sending sparks of pleasure through my core.

“Liam, I—” I started, but he silenced me with a searing kiss. We stumbled up the stairs, our hands frantically tearing at each others clothes as he set me back on my feet. I kicked off my pants and he did the same and then he was on me again.

“Fuck, Jade.” He groaned, pushing me against the hallway wall. “Do you have any idea what you do to me?” I didn’t answer, couldn’t answer. All I could think about was how much I needed him.

We finally reached his bed. Had he even closed the door? Liam tossed me onto it, his eyes dark with hunger. He crawled over me, his touch teasing, building me up only to back away. It was maddening.

I arched into him. “I need—”

“I know what you need.” He smirked. “But not yet.”

Frustration and desire warred within me. I’d always prided myself on my control, but Liam was stripping it away, layer by layer. It was terrifying. It was intoxicating.

Liam’s lips brushed against the inside of my thigh, sending shivers through me. His hands held my hips firmly, holding me in place as he continued to tease me. Touching, kissing, licking everywhere but where I wanted him too.

“Please, Liam.” I whimpered, unable to take it any longer.

He lifted his head and gave me a wicked smile. “Are you begging for it now?” I nodded eagerly, my body trembling. I had never felt so desperate for someone before. Liam finally gave in and lowered his head between my thighs. His warm breath was a delicious contrast against the cool air of the room. His tongue moved in slow circles, teasing at my entrance before moving up to flick at my clit. I moaned loudly, gripping the sheets tightly as pleasure washed over me.

Liam’s skilled tongue worked until I was writhing beneath him, moaning his name over and over again. I felt like I was on fire, each touch sending electric shocks through me. Just when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, Liam pulled away. I wanted to scream.

Finally, I snapped. With a growl, I flipped us over, straddling him. Liam's eyes widened in surprise, then darkened with approval.

“That’s it, kitten,” he purred. “Take what you want.”

I sank down onto him, gasping at the fullness. For a moment, we were both still, savoring the connection. Then I began to move, chasing my pleasure and his. Liam’s hands gripped my hips, guiding me as I rode him. Our movements were frantic, desperate. We’d both been holding back for so long that now we couldn’t get enough of each other.

His lips found mine again and we kissed with an intensity that left me dizzy. The heat was almost unbearable, but I couldn’t bring myself to slow down. Liam’s fingers dug into my skin as he thrust up to meet me. Every touch, every kiss, every moan pushed me closer and closer to the edge.

Just when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, Liam flipped us over again, his body covering mine. His pace quickened, and I clung to him as wave after wave of ecstasy crashed over me.

I came so hard I saw stars.

“Fuck,” Liam cursed as he thrust once, twice, and then pulled out as he climaxed, hot streams of cum covering my chest and stomach, leaving us breathless and trembling for a moment. Once Liam gathered his composure, he got up to grab a small towel in the kitchen and came back over to the bed and cleaned me off. It was closer than the bathroom down the hall.

I stared into Liam’s eyes, searching for… what? Reassurance? Doubt? His gaze held mine, intense and unwavering. I could hear my own shallow breathing, feel the heat radiating from his body.

This is insane, I thought. We were lying to ourselves. How long could we keep this up? A week? A month? But as Liam’s eyes roamed over my sprawled-out body and darkened with desire again, I realized I didn’t care. For now, this reckless game was enough.
