Page 53 of Dating the Rebel
But she also felt power in that he wanted her just as badly. His blue eyes had turned dark with desire, the pupils swallowing the irises entirely. His face was flushed, a vein standing out along his neck.
Then she unbuttoned his jeans and lowered his zipper. And his cock sprang free, jutting toward her as if begging to come inside.
He groaned as she wrapped her fingers around him and pumped her hand up and down. Up and down the engorged length of him...
“I gotta be inside you,” he said. “Now!” His hands shook as he fumbled with a condom, but he had it on in seconds. Then he entered her in one deep thrust.
She cried out again as pleasure overwhelmed her. How did he always feel so damn good? So perfect...
She locked her legs around him, riding him as he set the rhythm of this dance. Fast. Desperate. He built the pressure inside her again, making her writhe around as she sought to release it.
Then he touched her clit, rubbing his thumb over it, and she came apart, screaming his name. And those tears threatened again. She closed her eyes. So she didn’t see him come. She only felt him tense and then shudder as an orgasm came over him. He buried his face against her throat and growled her name as his cock continued to pump. Then finally he stilled...
And he was gone...
He’d pulled out of her, and she’d been so limp with sexual satisfaction that she hadn’t protested. Water ran in the bathroom off her office.
The sound of it jerked her from her inertia. She scrambled down from the desk and quickly adjusted her clothes. In her haste, she might had done up the buttons wrong, so she found her suit jacket on the back of her chair and pulled that on over the wrinkled blouse.
The water had stopped running, so she looked up and found him leaning against the bathroom doorjamb, staring at her. She didn’t give him time to ask if he’d passed this audition; she was sick of that game, sick of playing all games with him. She just pointed toward the door to the reception area. “I want you to leave,” she said.
“Mirand—”
“I want you to leave and never come back,” she said. “No matter how hard you try to talk me into it, I will never let you join Liaisons International. I don’t care how much money you have.”
Because she knew she couldn’t trust him not to break the hearts of all her female members...
Because she was pretty sure he’d broken hers.
Grant wanted to hit something.
Usually he didn’t let anything get to him this much—make him this angry. But he couldn’t stem the fury that coursed through him. She’d thrown him out.
Why was she so damn stubborn?
With how resolute she’d been, he’d known there had been no point in arguing with her. She’d made up her mind, and he doubted he could have changed it no matter what he’d done. Even if he’d showed her the bank statements like he’d offered...
He stomped down the hall from the hangar toward the office. It was late, so hopefully no one else was in the building. But when he walked into the office, two people turned toward him. They shared the chair behind Blair’s desk as she sat on Teo’s lap.
He shook his head. “I can’t deal with this now,” he murmured. With another damn reminder of his failure to get through to Miranda.
Blair jumped up and headed toward him. “What’s wrong?”
He shook his head.
She pointed at his shirt, where it gaped around the missing button. “You look like you’ve been in a fight.”
He had been...and as usual with Miranda Fox, he’d lost. “I don’t want to talk about it,” he said, his voice low with warning. Talking about it was only going to make him madder.
Teo was not intimidated. “I think your brother is just jealous,” he said with a chuckle. “He wishes he could find what we have.”
Blair laughed. “Grant has no interest in a real relationship.”
Because of their parents’ loveless marriage and all the other mismatches he’d witnessed during his lifetime. But then there was Miranda...
Thinking of her made him defensive—because he’d felt so defenseless with her. Nothing he’d said had made a difference to her. “You didn’t want a relationship, either,” he reminded his sister.
Her lips curved into a big smile. “But then I fell in love.”
