Page 28 of Christmas with Four Tattoo Artists

With that, they turned and left, their threat lingering in the air.

As the door closed behind them, Jack wasted no time heading over to me, concern replacing the earlier hardness. "You okay, Julia?"

I let out a breath I didn't realize I'd been holding. "Yeah, I'm good. Thanks, Jack."

The lingering shadow of the Crimson Devils seemed to cling to the space even after they'd gone.

Jack scrubbed a hand down his face, his worry lines deep. "Finn, we need to chew on this Klaus crap," he said, the weight of his years heavy in his voice. "Lunch?"

Finn merely nodded, his expression mirroring his father's concern.

"I'll hold down the fort," Kai said, his gaze flicking between his brother and father.

“Good idea,” Jack replied. “We need someone here in case those assholes darken our door again. We’ll loop you in on what we talk about.”

“Sounds good,” Kai responded.

With that, Jack and Finn headed out and Kai turned to me.

“We’re full up now, right?”

“Yep. Maddie, Shadow, and Quinn are with clients. Nobody else on the schedule for another hour.”

“Good. Not in the mood for uninvited guests at the moment. Plus, there’s something I want to talk to you about in the office.” Kai flipped the ‘Open’ sign on the door to ‘Closed.’

Kai flashed me a heated grin over his shoulder, one that caused my pussy to clench. I had a damn good feeling what it was he wanted to ‘talk to me’ about in the office.

Kai was waiting for me behind his desk, his back toward the door, his powerful posture creating an air of stern authority. Just the sight of him was enough to make my pussy ache with desire. As he turned to face me the office felt suddenly smaller, filled to the brim with a potent cocktail of raw masculinity and piercing sexual tension.

“You wanted to speak with me, boss?” I asked. My knees were already weak. I wanted him like mad.

He stepped toward me slowly, his dress shoes echoing on the floor.

"One-on-one meetings," Kai began, a slow, sinful grin spreading across his face, "Can be quite productive." His eyes glinted with humor, but the spark in his gaze told me he had more than just business on his mind.

“That’s what I hear.”

“Please, close the door and come in.” I did as instructed.

“First, I want to make sure you’re OK. Those boys give you a bad time?”

“I’m fine, thanks. And not too bad. More bark than bite, I think.”

“Good, good.”

Without another word, he closed the distance between us, his hands finding my waist and pulling me flush against him. His body was a furnace, radiating an almost unbearable heat that seemed to seep through my clothes, leaving me flushed and flustered.

“In that case, we can discuss more pertinentmatters.”

“Perfect. I’d love nothing more than a little face time with the boss.”

He leaned in, his lips brushing against mine in a tantalizingly slow kiss. The world narrowed down to the feel of his body pressed against mine, the sweet taste of him, the intoxicating scent that was uniquely Kai. His hands roamed over my body, exploring every inch, inciting a riot of sensation within me.

His fingers quickly worked the buttons on my shirt, the fabric falling away, leaving my skin bare under his touch. His hands felt like magic, each caress igniting a spark that coalesced into a blazing inferno within me. He was everywhere, his hands, his mouth, leaving a trail of heat in their wake.

We moved together in a rhythm that was as familiar as it was intoxicating, our bodies aching for each other. There was an urgency, a raw need that eclipsed all else. I buried my fingers in his hair, pulling him closer, desperately seeking more of him. He groaned into my mouth, the sound a raw, primal plea that sent shockwaves of desire through me.

My hands fumbled at the front of his pants, working his belt, zipper and button open enough to take out his long, thick cock, his manhood already hard for me. I stroked him, Kai groaning as he took himself by the base. He reached forward, slipping his fingers into my panties and inside of me, the pad of his thumb giving my clit the attention it needed. I moaned as he quickly brought me to my first orgasm. I knew that the walls of the office were soundproof, so I didn’t hold back a bit.
