Page 119 of My Ruthless Opponent

My back begins hitting the tilled wall harder as his pace increases. I hold onto him tighter.

His loud grunts in my ear make my inner walls contract around him.

Jesus. Raleigh is vocal and I love it. So much. He is enjoying this as much as I am.

My entire body is rocking because of his powerful thrusts, the water sloshing around us.

I trace the vein in his neck that’s bulging. I lean in and kiss and nibble on it.

Arching my back, I press into him, shivering every time his hips surge forward and grind against my clit. “I am close.” I moan.

He growls and picks up the pace.

“Raleigh!” I cry out as my climax gets a hold of me. I jerk in his arms as he rides it.

I watch his eyebrows furrowing, face contorting. “Fuck.” He growls under his breath.

I am in awe as I watch Raleigh submitting to his pleasure as he comes deep inside me.

We are breathing heavily. He cups my jaw, kisses me once, twice, three times on the lips before giving me a satisfied smile. The smile that reaches his blue, blue eyes.

And just like that, my heart skips a beat.

Fuck.

Chapter Twenty-Two

It’s ten in the morning and I am sitting on one of the chairs in the sitting area of the lobby.

Any second now.

We are waiting for Victor’s email that would declare the winner of Round One: Dreamy Date.

I was already typing down the notes I want my team to refer for Round Two.

I had texted my team to meet me here. They are yet to arrive.

All of them worked hard yesterday. So I didn’t mind the tardiness.

A few minutes later when I am sipping my latte, Brielle approaches alongside Mia. “Good morning, boss.”

I smile at them. “Good morning.”

I ask one of the staff members to get coffees for the girls.

“Thank you.” I smile at him and return my gaze on the screen.

I was dreading Round Two: The Grand Proposal but now I am flooded with ideas. I keep typing, grinning as I do.

My fingers halt when I feel eyes on me.

Glancing up from the screen, I meet Brielle’s eyes. “What?”

“You’re not drinking your usual espresso.” She stares at my latte of extra cream and sugar.

“Oh. Well, I was in the mood for something sweet.” I smile and shrug. I go back to working on my laptop.

“You look beautiful today.”
