Page 97 of Discretion

I had to have faith that, with time, the rest would sort itself out.

I would find a way to make it. Because I’d spent months without her, and I wasn’t going back to that. We were together, and I would move heaven and earth if that’s what it took for us to stay together. To trulybetogether. Not just in secret, but as a couple. As a family, with Kai.

I pressed my mouth to her, licking and sucking until her legs were shaking. She braced her arms on the desk, resting her cheek on the surface.

“Thisis mine,” I said, easily sliding two fingers into her. “This gorgeous body—” I pumped my fingers inside her, listening to her whimpers, feeling the way she clenched me tight “—is mine.” I lined my cock up with her entrance. “Youare mine.”

“Yes, Jasper. Yes.Please.”

I ran my hand down her spine, wishing we were naked. Longing for a lazy day in bed together. Just us. Unrushed. Uninterrupted.

“Hurry,” she whispered, desperate.

I didn’t know whether it was her eagerness for me to be inside her or her desire to finish before anyone suspected something. Either way, I needed to get moving. I’d already let this go on longer than I’d intended, but when I was with Halle, time ceased to have meaning.

She braced herself against the edge of the desk as I slid home. “Fuck. Do you feel that? Feel your pussy gripping my cock?”

“Yes.” She arched her back, hands pressed to the surface of the desk. “Yes. Right there.”

This position was hot, but I liked it even more when I could see her face. I pulled out, ignoring her cries of protestas I spun her to face me. With her back to the desk, I placed a hand to her cheek, guiding her focus to me.

“Look at me, Halle. When I’m inside you, I want your eyes on me.”

“Mm. Somebody’s awfully possessive today.” She grinned as I slid home once more.

I brushed my lips against hers. “You like it.”

“I hate to admit it, but I like seeing you a little unhinged.”

I could understand the feeling because I certainly enjoyed seeing Halle come undone. So I pressed my fingers to her clit, rubbing circles as I pumped into her from behind.

“Yes. Yes. Yes,” she chanted, and I gave her a bruising kiss to silence her.

Pleasure blazed through me, and I was so damn close to coming. But I wanted to wait for her. I wanted her to go first.

“I’m going to—” I started to say, feeling control slipping away from me, my pleasure spiraling, swelling until it was this storm I could no longer tame. “Tell me you’re close.”

“Yes,” she whispered, our kisses desperate, almost frantic. “Yes.”

She was so beautiful when she let go. Back arching. Creamy skin flushed with color.

And then I hurtled over the edge, following her into oblivion. My body convulsed as she clenched around me, my cock pulsating as waves of my pleasure filled her.

With our bodies still joined, I captured her lips, needing that connection. That…grounding.

And god, when I pulled out of her and saw her pussy dripping with my seed, I groaned. “Fuck me. That’s hot.”

I swiped my fingers through her slit, pushing it back inside her. She moaned her appreciation, falling back on the desk. I lingered for a second more, taking in the scene. Halle, splayed out on my desk, sated and flushed. She was something.

I pressed a kiss to her thigh then tucked myself back into my pants, giving her a moment to collect herself. Maybe a moment to collect myself too. She pushed herself off the desk, putting herself back to rights.

She buttoned up her shirt. “Feel better?”

“Much.” I grinned, giving her a quick peck. “Time with you always makes me feel better.”

“Time. Right. So the sex had nothing to do with it.”

“It might have helped a little,” I teased, holding up my thumb and forefinger.
