“You’re always looking for an excuse to spank me, and yet you never have.”
The shadows receded and that heat she was so familiar with slowly replaced them.“Is that a challenge, Peaches?”
She leaned closer and nipped his lower lip.“It’s an indirect suggestion that I wouldn’t mind experiencing the palm of your hand against my peaches.”
His big body jerked.Beneath her, his cock grew into a rigid imprint against her butt cheek.That she’d successfully diverted his mind was blatantly obvious.
The hand between her legs slowly slid up and down.“You’re getting wet, Bethany.”
She gave a jerky nod.“It’s a state of being that only needs you to be close.”
His eyes darkened.“Shit, I wish we had time for a Christ-you-undo-me fuck before you pack.”
Her insides sizzled with anticipation.“What’s the hurry?”
“My attorney is calling me back in an hour.I want to be in a position to fuck you straight after, so we need to move quickly.I can take the call here, but I think a visit to your toy room is in order.”
The sizzling escalated to a full-blown electrical current running through her.
He stood up with her in his arms.Taking her lips with his, he strolled to her bedroom and let her slide down his body.
Remembering what had happened the last time they were in here, Bethany glanced warily at him.
A hard smile lifted one corner of his mouth.“I’m still devising ways to pay you back for your birthday treat, Peaches.But nothing is going to happen here right now.You’re safe so get packing.”
Shivering, she moved away and grabbed her weekender.
Zach lounged against the door and watched her with an unwavering focus that sent tingles up and down her spine.
When she had everything she needed for another workday and the weekend, he held out his hand for her bag.“Ready?”
She nodded.“I just need to grab my laptop and papers.Then I’m good to go.”
In the living room, he shrugged into his leather jacket and waited till she gathered her stuff.
The elevator ride down barely registered.Zach refused to take his eyes off her, and she was drowning in him.
Vlad’s gaze flicked between them as they passed, the mild concern in his eyes telling her he’d probably seen the photo too.
“Do I need to be worried about him?”Zach arched his brow at her as he walked her outside and held the back door to his car open for her.
“He likes to keep a brotherly eye on me, is all.”
“As long as that’s all it is,” he replied.
The partition to the front was open and she smiled at Philip.He nodded and the car moved into traffic.
“You can’t growl at every man who looks at me, Zach.”
“You underestimate my motivation to keep you mine,” he snapped as he pressed the button to send up the partition.
She rolled her eyes.“And I thought we were getting on so well,” she sighed.
He laughed, his teeth flashing in the semi-darkness.“We are, Peaches.As long as you get where I’m coming from where you’re concerned, we’re completely okay.”
She shrugged.“I guess I need to practice my growl where you’re concerned too.”
“Your helpless purring when I’m deep inside you is all I need.”
