Chapter Seventeen
Laney
When Cole said his loft was close, I didn’t realize we’d only need five minutes via Uber. Damn, my compass wasn’t just confused, it was downright broken.
He led me inside with a hand to the small of my back. I was just about to fess up to my plan of using seduction as a relaxation technique when a better idea struck me.
“I’m going to go to your master bathroom. And I want you to come after me in ten minutes.”
He cocked a brow.
“I’ll wait for you there,” I explained.
“Will you be waiting naked?”
I grinned, shaking my hips as I turned around. “You know it.”
I was half expecting him to follow me, but he remained behind. As soon as I entered the bathroom, I turned on the tap in the tub. I also connected a Spotify list of relaxing jazz music to
the embedded sound system. I quickly discarded my clothes. I was just bending to check the water temperature when I heard the door open.
“You’re cheating. It’s been eight minutes, not ten.”
“Give me some credit. I wanted to burst in here eight minutes ago.”
I grinned, straightening up slowly. My entire body hummed when I felt him behind me. He laughed softly in my ear and moved his fingertips slowly over my hands at my sides.
“You planned this?” he asked.
“Yep. Concocted it when you messaged me about the meeting. By the way, I’m free tomorrow.”
He stopped moving his fingers. “Fucking hell, babe. That’s the best news I’ve heard all day. Why didn’t you lead with that?”
“It was supposed to be the cherry on the top. I was working up to that. Now I’ve gone and messed it up. But the order doesn’t matter, right? I can still give you that full-body massage. First step, let’s jump in. I can start on the massage while the tub fills with water.”
“I like how you think.”
He touched both ass cheeks just with the tips of his fingers in small circles, moving toward my outer thighs before skimming them upward on my ribcage. When he reached my breasts, he pinched one nipple with his fingers. He lowered the other hand down my belly, past my navel. He only nudged my clit once, but it was enough for my whole body to respond. Moaning, I braced my palms against the edge of the sink. I couldn’t believe I was so turned on already.
“I like seeing you like this. Ready for everything I want to give you. Looking at me like I’m everything you could possibly want.”
My chest swelled, and my voice stuttered as I whispered, “You are.”
He looked inside me and wasn’t afraid of what he saw. He could read me so well, and I didn’t want to hide anything.
I swallowed hard, pushing my ass against him. He moved his fingers in circles with a precision that made my knees weak.
Every time he reached the most sensitive spot, a full-body shudder gripped me. My legs were shaking slightly. Each time, he brought me closer to a climax. I was almost there, but not quite, and that was just impossible to bear.
“Fuck, I love feeling you get wet like this for me.”
“Cole, please. I can’t... I need...” I wasn’t coherent, but he knew what I meant. Instead of obliging me, he pressed one finger along my opening. I was about to protest, to demand release, when he pressed the heel of his palm against my clit. I was completely done for. I exploded, feeling all my muscles strum tight and my fingers curling. Cole had an arm firmly around my waist, keeping me upright against him. When my pulse slowed down, I leaned the back of my head against his chest. My breath was still ragged.
“Fuck, you’re so beautiful. So, so beautiful and perfect.”
I smiled at him in the mirror before turning around to face him.
“I want you,” he said simply. “Right now.”
