Page 106 of Kiss of Deceit

“Yes.”

Even with that door cracked, possibly exposing secrets he didn’t want me to know, my answer was still honest. The file I found on him should be enough to scare me away. With anyone else, it would have. But as much as I tried to deny it, Kole was different.

“What are you waiting for?” I asked when he only continued to stare at me as if trying to figure me out. “Kiss me.”

He chuckled. “You’re the one trying to seduce me. You’re controlling this, Dani.”

His stare was a mixture of desire and a hint of suspicion. I couldn’t blame him since I’d been avoiding him like the plague for the last few weeks. Doing this was out of the ordinary for me. My small moment of hesitation had him shaking his head, lifting his hands from my thighs.

“Maybe we should talk instead of doing this.” He broke our stare, turning his head. My heart lurched when he turned toward the fake wall. “Tell me all about why you’ve been avoid?—”

I reached up and grabbed his face, pulling him down to my height before kissing him. His reaction was instant, tangling one hand in my hair and wrapping his other arm around me as I remained sitting on the washing machine. He pulled his lips from mine to kiss my jaw as he pulled my hair, exposing my neck to him.

“I want you to fuck me,” I panted as he kissed the side of my throat. “Right now.”

He tugged my hair a bit more until I was staring into his eyes. A ghost of a smile was on his lips, making my stomach flip. “Are you trying to distract me or yourself?” His fingers wandered up my thigh as he spoke.

“I can’t just want sex?” My voice was a notch higher when he lightly grazed my pussy.

He arched an eyebrow, his grin turning cocky. “You can…but that’s not what this is. Are we going to talk about it now or later?”

My heart squeezed, nerves flowing freely. He knew me so damn well. He pulled back slightly, his stare burning through me. I had to be careful with this man. He was learning my tells—and I was letting him even without realizing it. I might have been avoiding him the last couple of weeks, but we were always still together. Kole was smart and always watching.

I almost wished I never went on Natalie’s computer. Then I’d still be oblivious to his secrets, and I could have been living in naive bliss like before.

“We should talk now,” he stated, his words snapping me from my thoughts.

I frowned. “No.”

“Too bad.”

“You’d rather talk than have sex?” I asked in disbelief.

He shrugged, holding onto his bluff. “We can have a conversation, and then I’ll take you to bed.”

“I don’t want to talk.”

“I want to know what’s going through that head of yours.”

Talking wasnota good idea. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep up my charade for an entire conversation, especially if we were alone. It was clear he wasn’t going to just leave and go back to work.

I’d just make sure he made a different choice. It was far easier than talking anyway.

I shot him a sexy grin, dropping my hand between my legs. His eyes flew to my fingers. I rubbed my clit, letting out a small moan. I brought my other hand to my breast, touching myself.

“If you won’t do it, then I’ll pleasure myself,” I informed him, my voice husky.

He let out a string of curses, a muscle in his jaw flexing. “You think teasing me will end well?”

I giggled breathlessly. “I told you what I wanted when you walked in here. If you don’t want to help, then feel free to watch.”

“Watch?” he repeated flatly. “I don’t have the fucking self-control to do that. Lean back.”

He met my gaze with a gleam in his eye as if waiting to see if I’d listen. With a small smirk, I fell back on my palms. The first time we slept together, he’d quickly learned I needed to be in control. But it was different with him. I trusted Kole. The hidden room flashed in my mind for a moment.Even if I shouldn’t.

Those thoughts fizzled away when he dropped his head, catching my nipple in his mouth. He flicked his tongue while his fingers found my clit. After making me squirm, he moved to my other nipple, and I jerked when his teeth grazed me. His strokes remained light and slow, and I wriggled against him, warmth swirling in my stomach.

When he slipped a finger inside me, he let out a groan. “Already so wet for me,” he rasped, barely lifting his lips from my breast. He pumped his finger in and out, his thumb dropping on my clit. “Fuck, Dani. I’ll never be able to get enough of you.”
