Chapter 27
Hannah
“H i, Hannah,” Tanner’s secretary said with a smile as I walked into his office in Billings with a bag of Italian food in my arms.
I’d only met his secretary a few times when I’d stopped by Tanner’s office, but she was a friendly, jovial, older woman that had always greeted me with enthusiasm.
“Hi, Joyce,” I answered and nodded at the door to Tanner’s office. “Is he in?”
She nodded. “He said he didn’t want to be disturbed. I was just about to leave for lunch. His brothers went to get something to eat, but he wouldn’t leave his office today. They have a meeting late this afternoon on one of Tanner’s acquisitions. You probably know how he is when he’s trying to close something that’s important to him.”
I did, which was exactly why I was here.
Tanner wanted to acquire this particular company, and he’d been a little uptight about this meeting.
The acquisition was personal to him because it was a research company that did important medical research, and it had fallen under bad management.
Like the amazing man he was, Tanner wanted to get the company operating at its full potential again because it had so much potential to cure deadly diseases.
I’d been in Billings to meet with some of my contractors, so I’d picked up lunch for Tanner.
I knew he wouldn’t be leaving his office today until that meeting happened around four o’clock.
The crazy man forgot about food when he was troubled about an acquisition.
“Well, I’m going to disturb him,” I told Joyce determinedly. “He has to eat.”
Tanner had been ready for this meeting for at least a week.
He didn’t need to keep going through the figures over and over.
She shot me a relieved look as she stood and grabbed her purse. “I’m pretty sure you’re one distraction he won’t mind. Have a nice lunch.”
I smiled at the woman as she departed for lunch.
While it was true that Tanner didn’t let KTD rule his life anymore, there were still times when he got a little uptight about work.
I got that.
He’d given up his entire life for a long time to build this company, and it was important to him.
My company had only been open for a few months now, and there were times when I obsessed about my growing company, too.
Tanner had been there to support me every step of the way.
And I was going to be there to support him when things were stressful at KTD.
I didn’t worry about his company taking over his life anymore.
He showed me every damn day that I was always his priority.
Things had been nearly perfect between the two of us since we’d returned from New York. So perfect it was almost scary.
I opened the office door quietly because my hands were too full to knock.
His office was contemporary, large, and impressive, just like the entire KTD building.
But I wasn’t really thinking about his beautiful office when I peeked into the large room.
My focus went directly to the man sitting behind the desk.
Tanner was on the computer, probably going over figures for about the millionth time.
As always, he took my breath away in his custom navy blue suit, but I frowned as I saw that his hair was mussed, like he’d been raking his hands through it in frustration.
“Not now, Joyce,” Tanner said gruffly without looking up from the computer. “Whatever it is, I’ll deal with it later.”
I smiled.
It never ceased to amaze me that Tanner could go from a congenial, small town guy in jeans to a gruff, demanding business tycoon so easily.
There were so many layers to Tanner, and I loved all of them.
Especially the demanding lover who couldn’t keep his hands off me.
Our sex life hadn’t cooled off, even though we’d been together nearly every single night for the last two months since our first date in New York.
It had just gotten hotter and even more intense now that we were relearning everything that made each other crazy.
“I’m not Joyce,” I said firmly as I went to his desk and sat the food down on it. “You have to eat, Tanner. It’s not going to help to go to that meeting without some substance.”
He looked up from his computer in surprise.
And then…he grinned at me, and that pleased expression on his face made something flip over inside my belly.
Sometimes it still made me giddy that no matter how busy Tanner was, he was always happy to see me.
His distractedness immediately stopped, and he was focused on me as he stood. “Hello, gorgeous,” he said in a husky tone as he looked me up and down appreciatively. “I didn’t plan on seeing you this afternoon, but I’m damn glad that you’re here. How were the roads from Crystal Fork?”
We’d gotten snow a few days ago, but there hadn’t been a single snowflake since that storm.
I was wearing a red sweater dress and a pair of heels because I’d been in a work meeting.
I took off my coat and put it down with my purse on a nearby chair as I shot him a chastising look. “The roads are perfectly clear. Don’t be sweet to me right now,” I insisted, knowing I couldn’t resist that heart-stopping grin of his. “You’re supposed to be getting lunch with Kaleb and Devon right now. You text me every damn day to make sure I don’t skip lunch. You didn’t eat a single thing at breakfast. You have to be hungry.”
I was aware of that fact since I practically lived at his house now.
He’d grabbed coffee this morning, but he’d refused to eat anything, even though I’d offered to fix him something.
It was the first time Tanner had left without eating breakfast with me because he’d wanted to get to his office early.
That sexy grin didn’t leave his face as he came around the desk, snaked an arm around my waist, and pulled me close to him. “Are you worried about me?” he asked right before his lips touched mine.
My body reacted instantly to the kiss, and I wound my arms around his neck, even though my mind was still focused on his lack of food.
All Tanner had to do was touch me, and I immediately wanted him as close to me as he could possibly get.
This man was addictive, and I responded to his embrace, whether I wanted to or not.
My intimacy with Tanner had grown to epic proportions, and he knew exactly how to make every thought fly out of my head except him .
“It’s not going to work this time,” I murmured as he released my lips. “You need to eat, and yes, I’m worried about you. I know that you’re stressed out about this meeting.”
He pulled back a little, and my heart tripped as I saw the heat blazing in his beautiful blue eyes.
“Do you have any idea how sexy you look today in that red dress?” he asked hoarsely. “It reminds of that torturously sexy dress you wore in New York.”
The two dresses looked nothing alike, but I’d discovered that Tanner could find almost anything sexy about me. Even when I was in dirty jeans and a shirt after being outside.
I could look like hell, and Tanner would still want me.
There was something about that fact that was incredibly sweet.
I never had to be perfect for Tanner, and he never had to be perfect for me to want him.
If he was close to me, I wanted to be closer.
“Your food is getting cold,” I protested as he nipped my earlobe.
“I have a microwave,” he said in a low growl. “Right now, I’d rather have you for lunch. That would relieve my stress a lot better than food.”
My stomach clenched at the possessive note in his words.
Tanner was in no mood to argue or compromise, and it turned me on when he got all bossy and uncompromising when it came to sex.
“We’re in your office,” I squeaked.
“I don’t give a fuck,” he answered roughly. “It’s my office. Did you really think I was going to let you leave now that you’re here in that body hugging, red dress? Not. Happening.”
My nipples tightened until they were almost painful as Tanner released me, strode to his office door, and locked it.
Heat flooded between my thighs, and judging by the look in his eyes, I wasn’t leaving until Tanner was sure we were both satisfied.
Whether we were in his office or not.
Well, if that was the way it was going to be, I was going to make sure he was nice and relaxed for his meeting.
I’d make him eat.
Later.
Most of his staff was out for lunch, and I knew exactly how to make Tanner relax.
Doing this in his office felt deliciously wicked, but I was down for it.
Tanner removed his jacket, tossed it on the chair, and then reached for me.
I stepped back and ran my palm slowly from his chest to the zipper of his suit pants.
“Problem?” I asked as I stroked his hard cock through the material of his pants.
“A large one,” he confirmed as he moved toward me again.
I stepped back again as I lowered the zipper. “I can take care of that for you, Mr. Remington,” I informed him as I undid his pants and totally liberated his enormous cock. “We are in your office. Think of me as an employee who’s very eager to please right now.”
“Fuck!” he cursed harshly as I dropped to my knees. “My employees don’t take my dick into their mouths.”
“No,” I replied as I wrapped my hands around his gigantic cock. “But I do.”
“Thank fuck!” he said hoarsely as he gripped my hair.
I took as much of Tanner as I could into my mouth, using my tongue, lips, and suction to make him lose his mind.
He rarely let me do this, and I was going to savor every moment of it.
I could bring him close to orgasm in a matter of moments.
I knew he loved it, but he almost always preferred to come inside me, with me screaming his name. And oral sex brought him too close to the brink too fast in his mind.
“Fuck yeah, sweetheart,” he said with a lust filled groan. “That gorgeous mouth of yours makes me crazy.”
I rolled my tongue over the sensitive head of his cock, and sucked him more deeply into my mouth.
I gripped the root of his cock, and moved it in tune with my mouth.
There was no way I could take all of Tanner, but I wanted him to get as much pleasure out of this as possible.
“Hannah,” he warned as he gripped my hair tighter.
I ignored him and gently fingered his balls.
For several moments, there wasn’t a sound in the office except his harsh breathing and the sounds of me devouring his cock.
It was erotic as hell.
I got lost in the sensual pleasure of having Tanner in my mouth and at my mercy.
If I got my way, he was going to orgasm spectacularly in a way he rarely had before, and I’d be able to taste his pleasure.
Seconds after that thought had crossed my mind, Tanner forced my head away from his cock.
“Christ!” he said gutturally, his chest heaving. “Not happening this time.”
Damn.
Judging by the wild look in Tanner’s eyes, I wasn’t getting my way after all.
He turned me around and put my hands on the desk.
I shivered as I felt the air on my legs as he lifted my dress until it was around my waist.
“You’re a very bad girl, Hannah,” he rasped as he ran his hands over my ass and hips. “But you’ve got the sexiest ass I’ve ever seen. You didn’t really think it was going to end that way, did you?”
All of a sudden, Tanner was no longer at my mercy, and the switch was head spinning.
“What do you want then?” I gasped as he slid a finger inside my soaked panties and lightly stroked my clit.
“You already know what I want,” he answered. “And you’re going to give it to me.”
God, right now I’d give him anything he wanted if he’d just fuck me.
My entire body was wound tight, ready to fracture.
I needed release so badly that it was painful.
With one strong tug, the delicate panties separated from my body, but to my disappointment, he didn’t bury himself inside me.
Instead, he fingered my bare pussy until I was whimpering with need.
“Do you know what bad girls get?” he asked in a graveled voice.
“Show me,” I panted.
My body jerked a little as he slapped my ass. Not enough to truly hurt, but enough to make me squeal with surprise.
Tanner and I had never played this game before, but it was so stimulating that my entire body was alive with sensation.
“I don’t think I quite got that,” I said, my voice hoarse with passion. “Show me again what bad girls get.”
“They get this,” Tanner told me bossily as he slapped my ass slightly harder.
“Tanner,” I moaned as the shock of that action rocketed through my body.
“And then they get this,” he informed me as he thrust hard and buried himself inside me to the balls.
“Oh, God, yes,” I answered, my mind and body completely frenzied.
I was determined to be as naughty as possible every single day from now on.
Tanner pulled back, and surged forward again like he wanted to make sure I knew exactly who was fucking me.
Possessively.
Hard.
Fast.
And furiously.
I’d already been so aroused that I felt my orgasm pounding at the door within moments.
I tried to push back to meet Tanner’s thrusts, but he was pummeling so hard and fast that I couldn’t keep up.
He had my hips gripped tightly, and I just gave in to the bliss.
“Tanner,” I moaned, knowing I couldn’t scream.
We were in his office.
There had to be people here somewhere, and some of his employees could be coming back from lunch.
“Give me what I want, Hannah,” he demanded.
I knew what he wanted.
Me screaming his name when I imploded.
I always did. I couldn’t help myself.
“I can’t. Not here.”
“You can,” he grunted. “Nobody is in on this floor right now.”
When he moved one of his hands and roughly stimulated my clit, it was over.
I started screaming his name as my core clenched around his cock, and I didn’t stop until Tanner had found his own release with me.
