It rang a few more times then stopped.Seconds later, it rang again.Zach cursed.
“Take it.I really don’t mind.”
With an impatient huff, he drew the phone from his pocket.“Savage,” he barked.
She smiled to herself and wished the person at the end of the line well as she walked towards the pole.Stepping up onto the platform, she grasped the cool steel and felt its sturdy strength beneath her fingers.After making sure her heels weren’t scuffing the surface of the platform, she walked slowly round the pole, conscious of Zach’s eyes on her as he spoke on the phone.
Taking a firmer hold with both hands, she swung off her feet in a perfect three-sixty, before landing back down with her legs in a scissored walk around the pole.She repeated the move, then went one better and twined her legs round the pole.
Zach made a hoarse sound, and with a brusque “I’ll have to call you back,” he ended the call.
Poised three feet above the ground, she read the naked intent in his eyes, and her core blazed with desire.
She slid slowly back down, her hands a sensual glide that he followed with avid attention.
Her gaze flicked to the oval windows, conscious of the workers outside.
“Privacy windows,” he rasped without taking his eyes off her.“Sound-proof room.”
The implication that any pending frenzied screams of pleasure wouldn’t go beyond this room made her blush.Thankfully, the lights were too low for him to see, although his avid gaze had probably picked up her soaring pulse rate.
When she began to walk around the pole again, he stalked closer.Without stopping her sure stride, she reached behind her and took her time to lower her zipper.She stopped long enough to kick her dress away and looked up to find him narrow-eyed, his chest expanding on an uneven breath.
His gaze raked her semi-nude state.“You wouldn’t have made it this far if I knew you were braless underneath that dress.”
She turned so her back was braced against the pole, its cool steel sliding between her crack.Her only accessories were her earrings and shoes.And she’d never felt sexier in her life.“There was a reason I kept that to myself.”
With fevered eyes raking her body, his hands went for his belt.Freeing it, he undid his button and lowered his zipper.
“Ready to see how flexible I can be?”
“Fuck.More than ready.Dance for me, baby.”He reefed his shirt over his head and flung it away.Walking backward, he sank into the seat and leaned forward, elbows on his knees.
A spurt of trepidation pierced her composure.Zach loved her body, she knew that.But when she’d performed in his ballroom in Marrakech, she hadn’t been aware he was watching.And this sort of dancing was a whole world of difference from what she’d been trained to do.
She bit her lip.
Zach stared at her.Then he slowly reached to the right side of the chair and pressed a button.
A slow, seductive slide of a violin string pierced the air, followed by a few more.Music throbbed through the room, infusing her body.The tempo increased with a steady beat of a drum until the loud cacophony sent vibrations through her feet.Keeping her legs closed and her hands gripping the steel, she slid down the pole and back up, twirling her hips to the music.She performed the action again to ground herself, then turned to face the pole.
She swung herself high and around, then abruptly ended her momentum with her legs crossed.Her thighs screamed at the vice-like hold on the steel as she let go with her hands.Her loose hair formed a seductive curtain around her, sliding over her breasts as she leaned forward.Her cleavage touched the warming steel and her nipples immediately puckered.
She flung her head back and gripped the pole with one hand.Slowly, she arched her back and rocked her hips against the pole, still suspended high.
“Fuck!”
She looked over, her thighs beginning to burn from supporting most of her weight, but the look on Zach’s face was worth the discomfort.Arching her back even further, until her body was curved in a perfect C, she reached for the base of the pole and executed a perfect scissored landing.
Gliding her hands back up, she jumped and kicked her legs apart, then twined them around the pole as they came together.She laid her cheek against the steel, her heart racing as she looked over to see Zach’s reaction.
His tongue rested against his lower lip, and his eyes burned with volcanic heat.
Power roared through her veins, lending her insane confidence to perform a series of risqué moves that had him jerking to his feet and striding toward her.
The moment she landed, he grabbed her around the waist and slammed her against his body.
“Jesus, how is it that just when I think you can’t be more incredible, you prove me wrong?”he asked hoarsely.
