She stepped into his embrace and he captured her lips. Her fingers fiddled in his hair. This time, he let his hands roam to other areas, like her breasts. He grazed his fingers along the outside. They were petite and more than perfect for the cupping of his hands.
He grabbed her hips and pulled her forward, letting his hands drop to her bottom. He massaged the smooth flesh then gripped her tightly, lifting her so her legs wrapped around his waist. With her in position he walked them over to a tree.
He pushed her against it, caging her there with his hips. He placed his palms on the rough bark on either side of her and kissed her, hard, devouring her mouth with all the pent up anger and frustration he’d been holding in.
Her hands slipped between them and she grabbed on to his length, rubbing him over his jeans.
He pulled back and thrust his hips out to keep her against the tree then lowered his fly.
“Condom.”
He handed it over and she ripped it open while he pulled his erection out of his pants.
He let her slip it over his engorged flesh and when it was in place, he grabbed her ass one more time and lifted. Her hand gripped around him and she stroked once, then twice, guiding him to her opening.
His cock nudged her and with one smooth thrust he was seated to the hilt.
Carson let her head fall back and her hands roamed over her body, grabbing her breasts and squeezing through her shirt.
This position couldn’t be comfortable for her, but Carson moaned with every stroke. She was so tight and smooth.
Her hands slid up to his shoulders and she gripped his face pulling him in for a kiss.
“Faster,” she whispered. “Do it.”
Neil granted her wish and thrust with greater force.
“Yes. That’s…” She whimpered and the next thing he knew she was shaking in his arms. She had come again. And now it was his turn.
He leaned back and thrust, exhaling hard with every up-stroke. He pounded her harder and faster into the tree and finally he came with a hard groan.
After, he enveloped her in his arms and pulled her away from the tree. He carried her back to the bike and settled her on the seat.
Their eyes met and Neil smiled. What was it about this woman that touched every nerve, good and bad?
But he knew just as well as she did that they were no good together. Sex wasn’t the only thing that kept a relationship going. And he was the last person in the world that wanted to be tied down.
He would treat this as it was—a mutually agreed upon arrangement where they both had the opportunity to let off some steam.
After straightening their clothes, they returned to the gym and picked up Neil’s bike. She left him with a smile and a quiet “see you tomorrow.”
It had been a great day. The best day he’d had in a long time.
But as soon as the sound of her engine fell away into the distance, everything went silent and his demons came back with a vengeance.
He only hoped he could survive the night without Carson to keep him in check.
Chapter Five
Carson fiddled with the pencil she had stuck behind her ear. Her stomach churned with nervousness. She did her best not to stare at Martin, who sat at the bar, his face immersed in some sort of magazine. Must be nice to be able to read a magazine for pleasure. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d done anything for pleasure. With the exception of last night when she let Neil feel her up on her bike. Or when she’d sucked him off in the walk-in fridge. And the night before when they’d fucked on a table.
Right, besides all those times, she hadn’t had any fun in way too long.
But last night Neil tried to dig deeper into her past. Questioning her about her involvement in racing. That was something he didn’t need to know. That part of her life was over but the shame still haunted her. It still made an appearance every time her father questioned her designs, her work ethic, her lifestyle.
She remembered that night, when she came clean about her extracurricular activities. Mike had just died, her life had been ripped apart again, and she couldn’t breathe, couldn’t stand the heartache. The disappointed look on her father’s face broke her heart and she would be damned if she would give Neil the opportunity to look at her with that same disappointment.
The building inspector toured the facility jotting down his last minute recommendations. She had completely forgotten about the inspector’s appearance this morning, her mind on other, sexier things. And of course Martin had shown up at the exact same time as the inspector.
