Chapter 6 #2
She groaned and covered her face with her hands.
Then peeked through her fingers. God, she was adorable.
“I love art. I suck at painting and I can’t draw a thing.
I even tried to become an art investor but even my taste seemed awful.
I bought a coloring book and a huge box of Crayola crayons. When I’m stressed, I color.”
He drew back in surprise. “I never knew you did that.”
She laughed. “Of course not, you don’t know me.”
Crap. He tried to hide his guilty expression and asked another quick question. “Tell me one thing you hate. Something you never told anyone else.”
She wrinkled her nose, obviously deep in thought.
“Mansplaining. I work in the tech industry so I seem to always battle men who try to explain stuff to me I already know. And they do it in this condescending, patient way that makes me crazy mad. But I’ve never admitted it to anyone.
I’m afraid they may take it the wrong way, like I’m not being a team member. Stupid, right?”
“No. I can only imagine how you’re treated differently because you’re a woman.
” He thought over the times Hailey had seemed upset after a big meeting, but she’d never shared the real reason.
Theo made a mental note to try and be more supportive on the job for her and everyone who worked underneath him.
“Any other questions?” she asked, lips pursed as she waited.
“Sexual fantasy?”
He loved the slow, sexy smile that made his heart stop.
In one swift motion, she straddled him. Hailey arched her back, breasts thrust forward, rosy nipples tight and hard.
She grasped his dick in her hand, fingers teasing the tip, eliciting drops of moisture.
Red fiery waves fell down around her shoulders, and she gave a low laugh, her eyes full of secrets and passion and mystery.
“My sexual fantasy, Phantom?” Her tongue slid over her ripe bottom lip as if she imagined how he would taste.
His breath hissed through his teeth as hunger ripped through him.
“This is my fantasy. What I’m about to do right now.
I want to take you in my mouth and make you scream my name.
I want you inside me, so hard and fast that you forget every other woman you’ve been with.
Since I promised I’d do anything you want, I’m begging for permission.
” Her voice dropped to a husky purr. “Will you let me suck you?”
He swore and clawed for control. His dick throbbed against the soft skin of her fingers as she continued teasing him, running her thumb over the turgid flesh.
She had become his own personal sex slave, and now he was at her mercy.
The excitement built as he gave her his answer. “I think I can allow it.”
“Good. Now shut up.”
Her breasts pressed against his chest as she lowered her head, and her tongue delicately licked at his flat male nipples. They hardened into little points, and then she used her teeth to gently pull, moving slowly down his chest, following the dark line of hair past his stomach.
Theodore groaned as her taut-tipped nipples caused a delicious friction against his skin.
This was no longer his innocent, guarded Hailey.
This was a sexual witch who used her nails and teeth and tongue to explore every inch of his body, as if crazy for the scent and taste of him.
Her hands cupped his hips as she settled over his hard length, and then knelt between his legs.
She looked up once from her position. Gave a smug, half smile. Then lowered her head.
Her warm breath struck him first, and she opened her lips to take him in the slick, satin depths of her mouth.
She teased him mercilessly, never taking his whole cock.
Her tongue swirled around the tip, gathering the drops of moisture that spilled, then moved up and down the ridged underside as if he was a sweet lollipop she had discovered and decided to suck slowly.
Just as if his control was about to break, her hands cupped his balls and her lips opened wide to plunge him to the back of her throat.
He cursed.
The pleasure was too intense. Her tongue swirled around as her mouth held him tightly, moving in and out with a steady pace that tested his control.
Her name spilled from his lips in a chant, and her suction grew even harder, luring him over the edge.
She made hungry sounds in the back of her throat, as if she couldn’t get enough of him, and his cock grew even harder within her wet mouth, the pressure building to a screaming point until he exploded in a sharp burst. She took it all.
Her hair formed a silken curtain that swung back and forth over his thighs.
Her tongue licked every last drop, then kept going until he swelled again and damned her to eternity.
He reached for her, but she avoided his movement. Desperate need heated his veins even after his climax.
“Tell me what you want,” she urged. “Give me every detail.”
He cursed, recognizing his own little game had been switched on him. His voice came out in a raspy groan. “Take my cock and put it inside your sweet, hot pussy. Ride me hard. I want to see your tits bounce as you come all over me.”
She laughed low but he recognized the flare of lust in her blue eyes. “Beg me.”
With one swift movement, he lifted her up and plunged his cock into her hot, slippery wetness. She gasped.
“I’m begging you, Hailey,” he said.
She arched upward and took him to the hilt. Her legs spread wider to accommodate every inch of him. Her sweet cries spilled from her lips, obviously lost in sensation.
She rode him in a wild frenzy. Her hair streamed down her back; her heavy breasts bounced as she took everything he could give her. Her pussy clenched around him each time he drove inward, then clung madly in a rush of dampness as he withdrew.
He felt her wiggle toward the ultimate release and decided to tease.
As he thrust into her, he kept his cock away from her swollen clit that would give her what she needed.
His hands pulled and rubbed at her nipples, rolling the tips in his fingers until she begged him in low, frantic tones of arousal.
“Please, help me.”
“How bad do you want it?” Again he plunged deep, keeping her inches away from the edge. He loved the way she looked as he fucked her, loved the way she gave him everything she had and demanded he keep up with her.
She rode him faster and her hips shimmied frantically. “I need you.” She panted, her blue eyes dazed with passion. “I need you.”
The words reached out like a fist and tore into his gut. Hailey had changed him; opened him up;, and Theo wondered if he’d ever be the same. He rubbed his thumb over her swollen clit, pressing and rotating in the exact pressure she craved.
He drove inside of her. Again. And again. Then...
Hailey screamed. He felt her drench him, and he came again with her, emptying himself with a shout. She collapsed over his body like a rag doll, her hair spilling over his chest, her breathing rough and uneven.
“Damn, woman,” he finally managed. “Any time you have another sexual fantasy, I’ll be glad to help you out.”
She laughed. “Donating your body to charity, huh?”
“It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.”
“I don’t think I’ll be able to walk tomorrow,” she said.
He frowned. “Are you sore?”
“My thighs are still trembling.”
He caressed her with soothing strokes. “As soon as I can get up, I’ll run us a bath. That will take the aches away.”
“I’m not complaining.”
“It’s for my own selfish pleasure. I want to show you the amazing things you can do underwater.”
“I’ll need a cane tomorrow.”
He didn’t answer. The realization of the end of their affair dangled before him with haunting urgency. Almost as if she knew his thoughts, she interlaced his fingers with her own and studied their hands. Fingers touching, pale skin against ivory. Entwined.
“I don’t want this to be over,” she whispered.
Hope bloomed, but he fought the emotion back. Theo refused to wonder what their last night would bring. The only thing in his power was to give her as much of himself as possible, and hope it was enough.
“I’ll run the bath.” He got up from the bed and disappeared into the bathroom.
Hailey lay back on the pillows and tried not to focus on his lackluster response. Her emotions may be real, but it could still be a game to him. Even though he’d obviously been scared and developed feelings, there was no guarantee he’d want to continue their relationship.
Bringing this masquerade into the real world may never work and Hailey needed to be real.
She was falling in love with him, but he could view her as a novelty.
A short-term, intense affair never meant to be more.
At least, if she chose to walk away, she’d have the memories to take with her.
Their time together was a gift. She refused to see it any other way.
Hailey followed him into the bathroom. The scents of jasmine and lavender rose to her nostrils. The mirrors steamed deliciously and wrapped them both in a world unto their own making. She quietly shut the door behind her and stood before him, naked.
He reached his hand out. With a smile, she took it, and they stepped into the tub.
The sharp sting of the hot water made her gasp slightly, before she steeped below the surface.
He positioned her so she floated over him, her buttocks pressed between his spread legs, her back lay against his chest. She sighed in deep contentment as he took the soap and rubbed it between his hands.
