Page 26 of Concealed Deception

She looks past me and squints.“I believe we’ve seen in a new day.”

I rest my arms and head on the edge of the pool, treading water while I relax with the sounds of a bustling New York.I hear light splatters behind me, and as I turn, it’s not Lacey’s feet splashing in the water that’s got my attention.

“Care to tell me what the fuck’s going on, Savannah?”

His daring voice sends a shock wave of heat to my core.After last night, and with the alcohol coursing through my system, my body is on high alert around this man.

Meanwhile, Lacey is questioning me on why he’s calling me Savannah.

With eyes locked on Xander, and awareness of the other men standing by his side, I sink further into the pool covering my exposed skin.

“Out.Now.”

He spins on his heel and strides back into the house, leaving Antonio smirking at a now very angry Lacey.She’s still clothed, so having no issues with facing him, she stands up, now nose to nose with a rather amused Antonio.“You and your friend are assholes.”

As I watch on, I see the fire in his eyes as she stands her ground.My thinking is, he doesn’t have many people confront him like this, let alone call him out.Before I’ve had a chance to blink, he’s kissing her, and she’s easily submitting to him.

While they’re in their heated state, I keep to the edge of the pool until I reach Vince, who is standing with his back to me, holding a towel out to the side.

I claim the towel as I get out, quickly wrapping it around me and then follow him.I hear smashing and crashing as we walk further into the house.I’m still dripping wet as we enter Xander’s office.He’s on the phone to someone and he’s furious.I try not to eavesdrop, but when you’re this close to someone, it’s hard not to listen in.

“Youwillmake sure it’s secure.I don’t want him getting his hands on any of it, including her.”With his last words, he’s staring directly at me with a fierce protective gaze in his eyes.“Do what you have to.Call me when it’s done.”He drops his phone and marches directly for me.

His hands grab both of my shoulders and the firm grip is almost bruising.I don’t have time to read the situation before his lips are crashing down on mine.It’s punishing.It’s rough.It’s so damn fucking hot that my tongue meets his on pure instinct.

He pulls me closer, crushing my body to his as he nips and sucks my bottom lip.I’m highly aware that his dick is hard, enticing me to start rubbing my clit against him to ease the built-up friction.

I’m deeply immersed in this moment that I don’t register his actions.His hands are now cupping my ass as I’m being carried over to his desk.Both of us are fighting a battle of wills, but let’s be honest, that went out the window the moment I let him put his dick in me.

He sits me on his desk and unwraps me from my towel like a gift.As the towel falls away, I spread my legs, baring myself to him.

He stands there, licking his lips while admiring the view.

I become more daring; the alcohol from the night strips every ounce of indecision away.I reach between my legs and slide my fingers through my slit, teasing Xander while I act on pure pleasure.To be so bold feels amazing.The sensations send little currents to my core, and with each shock I sigh with desire.

The longer I tease the stronger my desire becomes, until I can feel an orgasm riding the surface of release.

Before it hits, I’m swiftly flipped around so my chest is now pressed firmly on the desk.My legs are spread with my ass in the air.

“Why must you test me?”

His question leaves me breathless as Xander rams his dick into me, but he doesn’t stop or slow down.His fast movements slide me forward on the desk with every thrust.My hardened nipples rub on the cool surface, adding more pleasure.His thumb eases into my hole, heightening my senses.I can feel the orgasm building and building, and then he does the unthinkable.He pulls out and comes all over my ass, roaring his frustrations.

“You will learn to behave yourself,” he says with a hard slap to my ass.“The only reason I took you with me last night was to keep a close eye on you.Lucky for you, it was Jackie I had to deal with at the club and not William.If it were him, I would have been the one getting you out of that building myself.As for the mess I walked into, your little friend is no longer welcome here.Now, I have business to attend to.Go to bed, Savannah.”

His words have my blood boiling for an all-new reason.I’m sick of his hot and cold behavior.One moment, he’s acting like I’m his to protect, that I might actually mean something, and the next, he’s throwing me aside.

I suppress the tears wanting to fall in a show of strength, when all I feel right now is weakness.

I suppose I’ve been played the fool.After all, I’m the one who’s evidently being kept.

I pick my towel off the floor in one fleeting movement.Now covered up, I storm out of his office toward my bedroom without a word.

I have a quick shower before getting into bed.The events over the last few days have given me whiplash.

As I lay down I decide that, from now on, I’m not letting him lay a finger on me until I know the full truth.

Then why did I let him from the start?
