Reaching into my pocket, I grip the hard metal before removing my hand. Lifting my hand up with it closed into a fist, I say, “Because of this.”
When she looks over her shoulder at me, I turn my palm up and open my fist to show her what I’m holding and what has been with me every day since our first night together.
She gasps and places her hands over her mouth.
After a few seconds, she says, “Is that my cuff bracelet? Where did you find it? I thought it was gone for good.”
“I found it on the floor in my hotel room in Florida. When you snuck out, you must have dropped it. I actually stepped on it naked while I was searching for you. I, too, thought I would never see you again and knew you were long gone, so I put it in the pocket of my suit jacket, and it’s been in one every day since. I knew you were more than just a one-night stand, Elle. This connection we have is too big to throw away, and I’m done ignoring it. This bracelet helped me get through some of my darkest days this past year, because even though you weren’t there, I had a piece of you with me always.”
Elle throws herself at me and kisses me, catching me off-guard. It only takes me a couple of seconds to react and kiss her back. Her arms are around my neck, while mine fall naturally around her back, pulling her as close as possible to me and squeezing her so she can’t get away.
The kiss goes from hot and heavy to more frantic. Our hands roam each other’s bodies and before I know it, we’re yanking at the other’s clothes, ripping them from our bodies. Elle has me naked from the waist up and reaches for my belt at the same time I try to pull her dress off her, but she stops me.
“I’m sorry, baby. I didn’t mean to rush you. We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. We can take it slow,” I tell her as my palm holds the side of her neck and my thumb brushes back and forth across her cheek.
“No, I do. It’s just…it’s just that my body has changed since the last time we were together, and I’d prefer to keep myself somewhat covered still,” she says sheepishly.
I don’t know why she’s nervous or insecure, because she is absolutely beautiful.
“You don’t ever need to hide from me. You’re perfect just the way you are.”
CHAPTER27
ELLE
My heart feelsas though it’s about to beat right out of my chest. This isnothow I was expecting our conversation to go today. I only came in to ask about some files. When I don’t respond, Dom moves closer, closing the distance between us once again. I haven’t been with a man since I got pregnant with Lily. I’m not the woman I used to be. I’ve changed since the last time Dom and I shared a night together.
Reaching out, Dom takes hold of my hands. “Elle, listen to me. I want you. You’ve been with me everywhere I went since our first night together.” Pausing, he looks deep into my eyes – into my soul – trying to convey his words. “I’ve never wanted anyone in my life more. I need you, Elle.”
A flurry of butterflies erupts from my stomach at the same time my heart swells. I can’t believe I ever thought I could walk away from this man after one night. Closing the small distance between us, I angle my head up, moving my lips closer to his.
Gently brushing my lips against his, I reply, “Take me.”
Without an ounce of hesitation, his hands are in my hair while our lips move together. When he takes control of the kiss, I feel his tongue as it strokes mine. Our breathing is ragged, moans muffled through the kiss, and our hands begin exploring each other’s bodies.
His hands gently run over my shoulders and down my arms before moving around and giving my breasts a tight squeeze, while his mouth moves to my neck. “These tits have been driving me crazy since the first day I walked into this office.”
I feel his rock-hard cock grind up against me, emphasizing his point. My hands roam up his back, across the broad expanse of his shoulders, and up into his hair.
As I give his hair a gentle tug, his head moves back and his eyes shoot up to mine, desire and lust swirling together.
“I need you now, Dom,” I pant, trying to convey just how desperate I am for him.
Dom continues with the trail of kisses on my neck, skimming his hands down my curvy frame and over my hips, sliding around the back and grabbing my ass hard, causing me to let out a small moan.
“Quiet, Elle. You wouldn’t want anyone to hear what we’re doing now, would you?”
His hands move down the backs of my thighs, causing his fingertips to tickle up along the path he’s created. Lifting the hem of my dress, he pulls it up over my ass before picking me up and spinning me around to sit on his desk. My legs automatically wrap themselves around his waist, like this is something we’ve done a thousand times before. My panties are soaked through, and I’m desperate for a release.
Setting me down on his desk, Dom moves back ever so slightly, his eyes falling down and taking in my now exposed panties. When they rise to meet mine again, they are that electric blue color that hypnotizes me, and I know there’s no going back. It’s too late now; neither of us could stop this, even if we wanted to.
Moving back a little more, Dom drops down to one knee. Leaning back on both hands, I arch my back, pushing my breasts out. Reaching up, he hooks his fingers into the sides of my panties before sliding them down my legs, discarding them somewhere behind me on the floor.
I’m transfixed, watching his every move. Lifting my legs, he places them on his shoulders, eyes trained on my pussy, moving his face closer.
His tongue quickly peeks out as he licks his lips and almost inaudibly says, “Hold on, angel.”
I feel the flatness of his tongue as he licks the entire way up my slit, and I throw my head back in pleasure as he moans, tasting my arousal along the way.
