Page 11 of Saving Penny
“Go pack.”
Penny lookedaround the room that would be hers until this fiasco was over. She tucked her suitcase into the closet and blew out a deep breath. How would she be able to live with Drake Ransly? Just one smoldering look from him had her ready to rip her own clothes off and sink to her knees in front of him.
The skin on the back of her hand still tingled from where his lips touched. The darkening of his eyes and his growls let her know that this was not one-sided. He wanted her as much as she wanted him.
She heard the doorbell ring and knew it was the food that he had ordered. Her stomach rumbled as she left her room. For this to be a safe house, the house was amazing. No expenses were spared on it. It held all the latest technologies in home security. It was located on the outskirts of the city, in a quiet section of town.
“That smells delicious,” she said as she arrived in the dining area.
Drake too, had changed clothes. She thought he was sexy in his business attire, but Drake in sweats and a gray Navy T-shirt made her mouth water. She swallowed hard as she took a seat at the table as he walked around the kitchen counter that separated the dining area from the kitchen. She had already unconsciously touched him earlier, and right now, in the safety of this house, she was afraid he would need saving from her.
She couldn’t ever remember a time she had literally wanted to jump a guy and rip his clothes off so that she could have her wicked way with him. If she didn’t know any better, she would swear that he had done something to her. There was something about him that made her body go all haywire.
“Here’s your food,” he announced, setting her food in front of her. They had ordered from one of the popular Chinese restaurants.
“Wong’s delivers out here?” she gasped, recognizing the familiar packaging. She quickly dived into the sesame chicken that she’d ordered.
“No, I had one of my men go pick it up.” He cracked a small smile and sat down opposite her with his plate. He pulled a file out and began spreading papers out across the table.
They ate in a comfortable silence as he read from his files. She took the time to study him while he wasn’t paying any attention to her.
She wiped her mouth with a napkin and took a sip of her iced tea that came with her dinner.
“So now what? You just drop me off at work and pick me up when I get off?” she asked, sitting back in her chair.
“We’ll need to derive a cover story. Something that will be believable,” he murmured, deep in thought.
“Like what?” She held her breath, knowing where he was going with this. She just wanted to hear him say it. At least she was hoping he was going in the direction of her thoughts. She had to laugh at herself because less than twenty-four hours in his presence, she was already plotting how she could get him in her bed. She practically ached to feel him between her thighs.
“We’ll have to act as boyfriend and girlfriend. So if this character follows us, they’ll see me pick you up from work and bring you to my place. You’ll tell your friends that we’re moving in together. The fewer people to know the truth the better. I would advise if Tori is someone who you trust, then she be the only person who knows the truth.”
She practically danced on the inside at this announcement, but she would play it cool.
“Okay.” She sighed as she picked up her plate and walked into the kitchen. She could feel his eyes on her as she tossed her trash out. Placing her silverware in the empty sink, she began walking back toward him.
This was crazy, but she needed him to take the ache away.
Her heart slammed in her chest as she thought of what she was about to do. Her breaths came fast as she entered the dining area. He turned in her direction as she walked around the table
“Well, if we’re going to pose as a couple, shouldn’t we practice a kiss or something?” she asked as she reached him.
Chapter 6
Her eyes helda determined look in them as she approached, speaking volumes. Drake’s arms immediately opened for her as she launched herself at him and covered his mouth with hers. Penny Berkey was his other half, and he was powerless to stop her.
She would get what she wanted.
He let loose a growl as her tongue made its way into his mouth to duel with his. He instinctively took control of the kiss, sweeping his tongue throughout her mouth to taste her. He threaded his fingers into her dark luxurious hair to angle her head, and crushed her to him as he turned, allowing her body to fall between his legs.
She instantly climbed onto his lap, bringing her heat in connection with this hardened cock. His fingers reached for the edge of her shirt as he fought to keep his incisors from descending as she moaned.
“Are you sure about this?” he gasped, breaking the kiss. She opened her eyes and nodded her head slowly.
“Please,” she murmured against his lips. She gently bit his bottom lip, sending him over the edge. He needed to have her now. This washisPenny. He had waited for her since she was born. She was made for him. She would be his for all eternity, and no one would take her from him.
He snatched the shirt over her head, putting her plump breasts encased in their black lace on display for him. The small metal clasp nestled in-between her breasts caught his eye. He reached out and undid the mechanism, pulling the bra away from her skin. His chest rumbled from a groan as her dark areolas came into view.
He leaned down and captured one with his lips, trying to draw as much as he could into his mouth. He played with the beaded nipple with his tongue, loving the taste of her. She threw her head back as he laved her mounds with his tongue. Her hips shifted, rubbing his cock, causing it to swell even more. His hands grabbed her plump ass, moving her along the length of him. He wanted her to feel all of him and show her how ready he was for her.
