Page 31 of Anything But Convenient

Takeshi tilted his head, the question in his gaze.“Why?”

“Because you didn’t deserve this. None of it is fair. You were trying to protect him. And now…” My words cut off as I stared into his eyes.

There was a glint in them that spoke of amusement. Not at me though. Somehow, without him needing to tell me, I knew the look was about my indignation over everything.

He grabbed his phone, then typed across the screen. I watched him, eager to see what he had to say. I couldn’t even begin to guess, my emotions too all over the place to make any sense.

I hadn’t ever been this unbalanced.

From the high of getting married and sharing an amazing kiss with a gorgeous man to the low of realizing so much had been stolen from him before we’d even met.

My job is in security. Protection details mean we do what is necessary to protect the client. Sinclair wasn’t responsible for what happened, nor could he (or anyone else) have prevented it.

I frowned at his phone. “It’s still not ok. Knowing you suffered makes me want to revive Brad from the dead just so I could have a go at him.”

Takeshi’s shoulders shook with a silent laugh. He started typing, but somehow, I knew what he’d ask before he even finished.

“I don’t know how to shoot in case you’re wondering. But I think it wouldn’t matter in this case. That asshole would have been pig food if I’d had a chance at him.”

Takeshi eased his phone down at my growly tone. His hands moved to rest against my jaw, holding me in place as he examined me.

I’m not sure what he saw. Maybe the anger. Or maybe the fear for what he’d gone through alone.

Whatever it was, it changed the somber look he had into one of heat and desire. His lips slotted over mine in the next second, stealing my breath while simultaneously setting me ablaze.

The kiss was gentle, neither of us pushing for more. Just a gentle press of lips. A tease, if you will.

And then his tongue ran against the seam of mine, so quickly I almost missed it. I opened for him immediately, the need for more urging me forward.

My husband wasted no time exploring me further. His hands shifted, moving to tug me up and onto his lap. One locked around my waist, the other behind my head.

I gripped his shoulders when he situated me over him. They steadied me enough to find my balance again.

Only, that didn’t last long either.

Because despite not being able to speak or make a sound, I could still feel the way he responded under me. I felt the hard ridge of his erection rubbing against mine. Felt the grip he kept on me, like he was afraid to let me go. Felt the passion in his kiss, as if he thought he’d never get another chance.

Fuck that.

I’d be kissing him every chance I got.

We might have entered this thing as a way to help us both, but there was no denying how we felt. Our chemistry proved as much. I could only imagine what it would be like to be under his watchful eyes in bed. I thought of how he’d explore my body, his attention homed in on every detail.

That thought was what sent me over the edge.

I came before I could even realize what was about to happen.

My mouth opened in a gasp as my body shook above him. I jerked with each spurt of cum into my pants, not stopping until I felt completely destroyed from the release.

Takeshi stared me down, his face carefully blank. He kept me close, then leaned over for his phone.

Did you just come from kissing me?

I bit my lip, nodding to the question. “I… didn’t mean to. It just happened.”

Normally, I’d have said sorry or some other apologetic term. Only, I wasn’t sorry. Not in the slightest.

I was relaxed. I felt euphoric.
