Page 6 of Into the Blue

Taking a deep breath in, I exhale the idea that I will not be giving this woman all my attention. “You will.”

I pull the k-bar from my hip and cut the black fabric off her hips. I’m quick and even though she flinches, my knife is sharp enough to remove the skirt before she can register it.

In a mess of strings sliding down her body, Diamond stands before me in only a tiny g-string and an even smaller triangle bra top.

She does nothing to cover her body, but instead steps over the ruined clothes to bend at the waist over the bed.

Her peachy ass is on full display for me. So round and soft, I can’t see the little slit just waiting for me tonight.

My eyes trail over the arch of her back to the lust glittering in her eyes when she says, “Does this mean we can start?”

Chapter 3

Men are so easy.

It doesn’t take much to catch their attention. No matter what kind of guy theythinkthey are, if they’re attracted to women—then they’re an easy mark.

And Blue Dupont has just been caught in what will ultimately be his downfall.

Standing in a private room with just about two inches of fabric covering my body, I should feel exposed and vulnerable.

Except, I don’t.

All the societal pressures and stigmas about modesty or even “purity” are an unknown concept for me.

That’s what happens when you grow up the way I did.

Walking over to the neatly-made bed, I arch my back so my ass is on full display for Blue. “Does this mean we can start?” I ask with my forearms on the soft mattress underneath me.

I feel his hot eyes on me, raking over the position I’m in and it only takes seconds for him to get to me.

“Fuck, Diamond. You’ve got me bricked up,” he says leaning over me but pointedly not touching.

Uh-huh.“So what are you going to do about it?” I kick a leg up for my diamanté heel to rest beside me on the bed. The position spreads me further so there is no mistaking what is waiting for him.

Take the bait. Take it and fall.

His fingers skim along my leg from my ankle, over my fishnets, to the exposed skin of my thigh and further to where the curve of my ass begins. His rough fingers graze the underside of my cheek there and I shiver.

“So what? You paid five grand just to have a conversation with me?” I drop my leg to the ground and flip, so my legs can wrap around him. He’s pliant, allowing me to pull him into my body easily.

His teeth pull at his bottom lip as he takes his fill of what he can see of my body. “Nah. Saw you walk in and knew I needed to at least have some time.”

This man is tall. At least 6’3”, probably 6’5”. And he’s built, strong like… he’s gotta work out. You expect that the higher up you go in an organization like his—the boss might be a little lazy. Probably let himself go. But this man looks like he’s still working at the bottom.

Hungry and grinding.

I run my hands under his collar and feel the warm skin beneath my fingers.Just because he’s a mark doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy myself…

“So, what exactly were you planning on doing with all this… time?” His hold on my waist is tight as he looks down at me on the bed with barely anything separating our bodies.

He smiles and it’s not the kind of expression that’s meant to convey happiness. It doesn’t touch his eyes in a joyful way. There’s an edge to this look and it’s enough to make my core clench. His defined cheek bones and jaw are obvious under a neat beard. He is all edges, hardened and menacing without having to say a word. “Guess I was gonna figure out what you like and maybe show you what I like.”

“That’s an awful lot of maybes… “ I hedge, begging him to make a move.

“Well, if you know what I want and what I should be doin’ with my time here then maybe you should show me.”

“There’s that maybe again…” I tease. “I could show you, but I don’t know if you’re ready for all that.“
