I was playing with fire and I knew it.
I shouldn’t have replied to Jess’s email.
I shouldn’t have told her I was addicted to her favourite book.
And I definitely shouldn’t have agreed to read chapter 21 to her.
But I seemed incapable of saying no to this woman. She was under my skin and I just wanted to do whatever it took to make her happy, no matter what the consequences.
After I’d left Jess at the beach, I’d come back to my room to work, but I couldn’t concentrate. I didn’t want that to be goodbye. There was so much I wanted to know about her. But I knew I couldn’t.
I hated the fact that she was supposed to be my competition.
Normally I loved a good challenge. I thrived on rivalry.
But not with the woman that I liked a lot more than I should .
At least I should be grateful that I had the good sense not to agree to go to her room. After what had happened last night, it was safer to keep our distance. Just like we’d agreed.
Once I’d gone to the bathroom, I settled back in bed, propped my phone on my knees, brought up chapter 21, then switched to WhatsApp to dial Jess’s number.
She answered on the first ring. I put the phone on loudspeaker and tabbed back to the book.
‘Hi,’ I said, my heart thundering against my chest. I didn’t know whether it was because it was the first time we’d spoken on the phone or because I was excited about what I was about to read to her.
This wasn’t a typical bedroom story. This stuff was hot. I wasn’t afraid to admit that I got aroused when I read it the first time in that basement. But that was just a snippet. The rest of the chapter was even hotter. And knowing that Jess was just behind the wall, in bed, listening to me was only going to set my blood and my dick on fire.
‘Hey,’ she said softly. God, she sounded so sexy on the phone.
‘You ready?’
‘Yeah.’
I started reading the chapter from the beginning, just like I had in the basement.
It might be my imagination, but around five minutes in, I started to notice that Jess was breathing heavily. And the more I read, the heavier it became. I continued reading:
‘“‘Sit on the desk and pull down your panties,’ he growled .
‘“‘You want to, here?’ I gasped, heat pooling in my core. ‘The cleaners might come. Someone might see us!’
‘“‘That’s part of the thrill.’ He smirked.
‘“I knew it was dangerous. I knew doing this could cost me my job, but I couldn’t stop myself. Rocco Morelli was one of the most powerful men in the world. I’d admired him from afar for years. Now we were working together and every time I saw him my heart skipped a beat.
‘“I’d spent months wondering how it would feel to kiss him, to feel him. And now I had my chance, I didn’t want to turn it down.
‘“I lifted my skirt, slid down my knickers and perched at the edge of the desk.
‘“Rocco stepped forward, spread my legs wider, pushed up my skirt and slid his finger between my wet folds.
‘“I tipped my head back and moaned.”’”
As I carried on I realised I wasn’t imagining things. Jess’s breathing was becoming more laboured and there was a creaking sound in the background.
‘Oh God,’ I heard Jess pant as the characters started fucking on the desk.
She was touching herself.
And I didn’t like it.
Not because there was anything wrong with her giving herself pleasure, but because I wanted to be the one to do it.
I wanted to make her come. I wanted her to fall apart in front of me.
‘Jess,’ I said. ‘I need to pause for a minute. Hold on, okay?’
‘No, please,’ she panted. ‘I’m… I just need a bit longer.’
She was close. And I was going to help her finish the job. I quickly pulled on my tracksuit bottoms, not even bothering with a top.
Seconds later, I was knocking on her door.
‘Hello?’ she called out, confusion in her voice. I didn’t answer.
When she opened the door, her eyes widened with surprise.
‘Theo! What are you… I thought you said it’d be better if you didn’t…’
‘Would you like me to leave?’ I asked.
‘No,’ she said emphatically. ‘Come in.’
She stepped aside and once I was inside, she closed the door.
‘Were you fucking yourself with your hands?’ I stood in front of her.
‘Um, why would you ask that?’
‘Answer the question,’ I growled.
‘Yes. Why?’
‘Because,’ I said, running my finger over her lips, ‘I’ve come to finish the job.’
‘ Ohhh …’ A mischievous smile touched her lips.
‘How do you feel about using the scene from the book as inspiration?’ My head gestured towards her desk .
‘I like that idea. A lot.’
‘Well, what are you waiting for? Take off your knickers and sit on the edge of that desk.’ I repeated the words from the book.
Smirking, Jess walked over to the desk, moved her laptop to the bed, removed her knickers, then perched at the edge, just like I’d asked her.
I spread her legs wider, just like Rocco had done in the book, but instead of swiping a finger between her legs, I dropped to my knees and used my tongue.
Jess threw her head back and her hips jerked upwards.
‘Fuck yes,’ she panted.
I flattened my tongue against her again, then started flicking it against her clit.
‘Mmm.’ I looked up at her and licked my lips. ‘You taste so good.’
Jess grabbed my head and pushed it deeper into her. She wanted more and I was happy to give her exactly what she wanted.
As I licked and sucked Jess’s sensitive nub, she wrapped her legs around my neck, and I could tell from her moans and the way her body was reacting to my tongue that she was close.
‘Oh God, Theo! Theo,’ she repeated. The sound of my name falling from her lips was what dreams were made of.
I dialled up the rhythm, and as she rocked against my mouth, she cried out.
‘Fuckkkk, Theo, oh God!’
As her orgasm ripped through her, I tried to stop myself from coming. This wasn’t about me, it was about her.
Her body stilled, and when I was certain she’d finished, I leant back, then licked away the juices around my mouth.
‘Good?’ I asked.
‘Good?’ she panted. ‘More than good.’ Her chest heaved. ‘Thank you.’
‘My pleasure.’ I got up and headed towards the door.
‘Where are you going?’ she said.
‘Back to my room.’ I turned to look at her. ‘I came here to give you an orgasm and I’ve done that, so now I’m leaving.’
‘But what about you ?’
‘This isn’t about me.’
‘Come here.’ She waggled her finger. ‘I appreciate the gesture, but I’m not sending you back to your room without getting you off. It’s up to you to decide how you’d like me to help you do that. I can do it with my mouth or you can fuck me on this desk. Just like in the book.’
My eyes darkened.
Jessica was offering to give me a blow job or let me fuck her. I shouldn’t accept. I should go straight back to my room just like I’d planned.
But I wasn’t an idiot.
She was there, spread wide open for me, desire in her eyes.
So I did what any sane man would do.
After getting a condom, I went back to that desk, slid inside her and fucked her until she screamed my name and came all over again.
‘That was…’ Jessica struggled to catch her breath. ‘Amazing.’
‘Glad to hear it. But the real question is whether it measured up to what you read in your favourite romance books.’
My dick was buried inside Jess, who was still on the edge of the desk. I knew I should pull out, but she felt so good I didn’t want to.
‘I am happy to report that your performance was definitely romance-novel-worthy.’ She ran her hands over my chest.
‘Excellent. But that was just the first draft. The practice run. Next time I want to give it to you so good that every sex scene you read in a book will be a disappointment and you’ll know that if you want a good fuck, you’ll have to come to me because I’ll be the only man who can truly satisfy you.’
‘Wow.’ She bit her lip. ‘When is next time?’
I pulled out, rolled off the condom, grabbed a new one, scooped Jess up, then carried her to the rocking chair and sat her down.
‘How about right now?’
