12. Cole
COLE
Icouldn’t look away from Lili’s pretty face.
I watched her bite her lip and look away. But not before I saw the resigned disappointment on her features.
No one’s ever thought I’m too good before.
All my life, I’ve rarely gotten what I wanted.
I’ve never had an orgasm. With a guy.
Her words ricocheted around in my head like high-velocity bullets.
Fuck, Lili deserved everything she ever wanted. And I never wanted to be the person putting that fucking dejected look on her face.
“Let’s forget I said anything.” She pinned on the brightest, fakest smile I’d seen, and pushed against my chest. “If you’re finished, we’d better get back to the casino.”
“I’m not finished.”
“Oh, okay, well, do you—”
I curled my hands around her slim shoulders and she stilled. Her gaze roamed my face and her lips parted.
Fuck, I was going to go to hell for this.
I lowered my head and kissed her.
She made a cute little sound. I slid one arm around her, pulling her up against me. I was sweaty from running around with a bunch of guys for a few hours, but she didn’t seem to care. She threw her arms around my neck, pressed in closer, and kissed me back.
She tasted like sunshine. I explored her mouth, loving as her tongue stroked mine. I lifted her and set her ass on the desk. She made a cute, husky sound.
“Cole?”
I dropped to my knees in front of her and her eyes went wide.
“Gonna give you one thing you want, sunshine.” I gripped the hem of her long skirt, then I started pushing it up, uncovering her calves.
Her breathing deepened, her breasts pushing against her tight T-shirt. “Oh, I…well…”
The stammering was cute too, as was the pretty flush in her cheeks.
My hands skimmed up her curvy thighs. Her skin was so damn soft. Then I bared plain, white panties trimmed with lace.
Of course they’d be white. To remind me that I was an asshole.
My cock didn’t care. It was hard and heavy.
My heart was thumping hard in my chest as I hooked my fingers in her panties and dragged them down her legs. Her breathing sped up.
Then I was looking at the prettiest pussy that I’d ever seen. It was topped with red-brown hair.
“Cole…” It was half murmur, half plea.
“I’ve got you, sunshine.”
“I feel like I should be embarrassed.” She shifted her bare ass on the desk. “But I’m not. I just really, really want…”
“What, Lili?”
“You’re mouth on me,” her words came out in a rush. “Please.”
I ran my lips up her satin-smooth inner thigh.
She shuddered, her head falling back. “Oh, I love the feel of your beard.”
Fuck, she was going to kill me. This small woman was going to bring me to my knees in more ways than one.
I shoved her legs wider apart to fit my shoulders between her thighs. Then I rubbed my mouth against her slick flesh.
Her sharp cry filled the office.
Damn, she tasted good. Honey and musk. With a growl, I ran my tongue along her sweet pussy.
She made another sound, and then, I was eating her like I’d been starving for years. I licked and sucked, then ran my tongue around her clit. Her hand snagged in my hair, pushing my face against her. She writhed on the desk.
“Christ, you taste good, Lili.” I grunted the words against her slick skin. “So good.” I went back to licking.
Her hips bucked up and I slid my hands down to cup her ass and hold her there. I alternated between thrusting my tongue inside her and giving her swollen clit the attention it wanted.
“Cole, God, p-please don’t stop.”
I nipped her inner thigh. The skin there was impossibly smooth. I never wanted to stop touching it. “Not stopping until you come on my mouth, sunshine.” I flicked at her clit.
She moaned. “Yes. Keep doing that. Right there.”
“You want my fingers inside you?”
“Yes.” Her voice was breathy.
I sucked on her clit, then thrust one finger into her tight warmth. That got me a husky cry, and my second finger got me a long, broken moan.
She was so damn beautiful. Nothing was more gorgeous than Lili finding her pleasure.
I sucked again, my fingers sliding deep.
With a scream, her back arched, her hand yanking on my hair. She thrashed, and I put my other hand on her belly, keeping her safe.
The sounds she made went straight to my cock. She sounded so abandoned, free, and happy.
My breathing turned labored. I pulled in some air, ignoring the painful throbbing of my cock. Or trying to. It had never felt bigger or harder. I desperately wanted to stand, unzip my pants, then either thrust inside her, or at least come all over her pretty, flushed pussy.
No. This was for Lili. Not for me.
I stood to put some space between us, but looking down at her really didn’t help. She lay on the desk like a debauched, ravished princess, with her skirt bunched at her waist. She turned her head and smiled at me. Her face was flushed, her eyes were sparkling.
“That…was amazing.”
At that moment, something cracked inside me. I couldn’t stop myself reaching out and stroking her sweat-dampened hair off her face. “Glad you enjoyed it.”
Her smile just widened. “I’m not broken or defective.”
“Definitely, not.”
I realized that this was another way to help her. To give her what she wanted. At least until she moved onto bigger and better things.
I heard the buzz of a phone and realized it was mine. Dragging myself away from her, I slid my cellphone out of my pocket. I saw Nash’s name on the screen.
“Nash.”
“Hey, Cole. How’s Lili?”
I watched her sit up, finger-combing her hair. She was glowing, and fuck me, I felt like a million bucks knowing that I’d put that look on her face.
“She’s good. We’re out at my training facility.”
“Okay. When you guys get back, let me know. I have some photos to show Lili. Of women that might be have been trafficked by Goodyear.”
I tensed. “You got an update?”
“Nothing rock solid, but I have a few photos to show Lili. I’ve uncovered a Gordian knot of shell companies Goodyear owns. No doubt to hide as much shit as possible. Reckon he has some real estate hidden in there.”
“Where he might be keeping women against their will.”
“Yeah.”
Anger flashed through me. Goodyear really was rock-bottom scum. Everything I learned about him kept getting worse and worse. “We’re finishing up here now. We’ll be back soon.”
Lili was standing now, smoothing down her skirt. Some of her glow had faded. “Nash found something?”
“Maybe. We should get back.”
