Page 78 of Until August

Nicola turned her back to me and looked over her shoulder to ensure I was watching. As if anything would divert my attention away from her. When she widened her stance and grabbed the hem of her t-shirt, my lips tugged into a smile.

She was going for it.

Slowly, she slid the cotton up, exposing the small of her back, just a sliver of skin above her waistband. Then she inched it higher, her pace torturously slow. Finally, the straps of her bra emerged. Then her bare shoulders, her skin luminous in the moonlight. She pulled the t-shirt over her head, spun it in the air, tossed it on the floor, and turned to face me.

My dick twitched as my eyes roamed down and over her breasts swelling from the confines of her lacy bra and lower to her flat, toned stomach and the curve of her waist.

Fucking perfect.

“Take your hair down,” I told her, my voice low.

With her eyes on me, she reached up with one hand and tugged out the elastic, shaking her head, so the thick chestnut waves tumbled down her back and around her shoulders.

I imagined fisting her hair in my hand as I drove into her from behind, her tight pussy clenching around my hard cock when she was bent over her desk last week.

My cock swelled, straining against the zipper.

“Take off your pants,” I commanded.

She kicked off her shoes, peeled off her socks, and somehow made it look sexy. Swiveling her hips, she moved to the beat of the music from the surround sound and ran her hands down her body, never breaking eye contact.

Fuck me. Her eyes were hooded, lips so lush and kissable I wanted to sink my teeth into them until I drew blood.

Her hand moved lower, and her fingers toyed with the button on her pants, but she didn’t take them off.

“If you want me, you’ll have to come over here and do it yourself,” she taunted, pushing out her tits and resting her elbows on the bar behind her. An invitation to stalk across the room and strip her naked.

But I stayed exactly where I was, not budging an inch. “If you want this….” I palmed my dick through my pants. It was rock-hard. Throbbing. Almost painful. “You’re gonna have to do what I say.” It was a test of wills, and I was all in now. Fully committed to the cause.

I’d stand here all fucking night if I had to.

She must have heard the determination in my tone because her lips tugged into a smile. “You’re a real asshole, aren’t you?” She arched her brows and cocked a hip, planting a hand on it. “What if I said I didn’t want you after all?”

I loved this cat-and-mouse game we were playing.

I grinned, baring my teeth. “Then I’d call you a liar.”

I watched her hands cupping her breasts, her thumbs brushing over the nipples as her back arched and her eyelids fluttered shut. She let out a moan worthy of a porn star that shot straight to my cock.

I had to restrain myself from reaching into my pants, wrapping my hand around my dick, and squeezing.

If this was a power play, I wasn’t sure which one of us was winning. She was writhing now, running her hands over her body, and her fake moans were starting to sound like the real thing. I knew she was doing this to torture me, and it was working.

But I held out, savoring the anticipation. The longer I resisted, the sweeter the reward.

“Take off your pants,” I said again.

With a smirk, she unbuttoned her pants, unzipped them, and pushed them down her hips. They pooled at her ankles, and she lifted one foot and then the other, kicking them aside as I stalked toward her and erased the distance between us.

“Good girl.” I smoothed my palms down her back and squeezed her ass, pulling her into me.

I traced the outline of her bra and brushed my thumb over the hardened peak straining against the fabric. Dipping down, I licked the spot between her breasts before gently biting the fleshy underside. Nicola sucked in a breath, hands sliding through my hair to bring me closer.

“I don’t always obey commands, you know,” she said, breathless.

I spun her around, so her back was against my chest and skimmed my hands down her arms. Then, clasping her hands in mine, I lifted her arms above her head and wrapped them around my neck.

My lips brushed over her skin, and I licked and sucked, leaving my mark on her neck, her collarbone, and just beneath her ear.
