I shoot him an arch look.
“Have you ever been on the subway, Mr. Stanton?”
He throws his head back and laughs then, revealing even white teeth.
“No, I haven’t,” he admits. “I keep a car in the city, and when I’m too lazy to drive, I uber it.”
“So you don’t have a private driver?” I ask with amusement.
Damon shoots me another grin.
“You’ve caught me. In fact, I do, but I didn’t want to seem like a prick, so I conveniently left that out.”
Amused, I giggle and move to the double glass doors that lead out to a balcony. There’s a magnificent view of the city, and my eyes go wide while taking in the twinkling lights coming to life beneath the deep purple sky. Meanwhile, Damon steps up behind me and I can feel the heat of his body against my back. He brings his hands up to my shoulders, and gently traces them down my arms until he gets to my hips.
“You never did tell me which bookstore you worked at,” he whispers in my ear. “Or are you trying to hide?”
I shake my head even as my heart starts racing.
“It’s called Busy Books,” I whisper in return. “And I don’t work there anymore. They do have a great selection of children’s books though.”
With that, Damon gently turns my pregnant form around to stare into my eyes. I look back at him while heat rushes through my veins, my heartbeat pounding in my ears. Clarissa’s words ring in my ears, and I remind myself that I don’t have to have sex with him if I don’t want to, but the fact is that my body’s craving his. Hell, at the moment, I’m aching to feel Damon inside, and I want to come hard on his massive shaft. After all, pregnancy’s made me into a horny beast. When I’m at home, I touch myself every night, and sometimes in the mornings too. My toys have gotten used so much that I actually burned out the battery in my vibrator, it’s that bad.
But right now, I have a rich, handsome man who desires me, and I want to explore that heat with him. So what if I’m getting paid? The money’s just icing on the cake at this point.
Slowly, I slip my arms around his strong neck.
“It’s been a long time for me,” I whisper. “Is that okay? I don’t know … well, it’s been a long time,” I finish lamely.
Damon cradles my face in his hands and stares into my eyes.
“It’s fine, Christine. There is nothing wrong with that, and if anything, I love the fact that you haven’t been touched in a while. You’re beautiful and I’m going to show you just how sexy you are.”
I smile.
“You promise?”
His blue eyes deep to an almost-black.
“Yes, absolutely baby. I promise you’re going to have a good time.”
With that, he leans down and presses a kiss to my lips. It starts out slow and sweet, but after a moment Damon pulls me closer, deepening the intensity as I moan into his touch. Seizing the opportunity, he swipes his tongue inside, making me gasp.
“Is that good for you?” he growls.
I twine my arms around his neck and dig my fingers in the back of his head while nodding.
“Yes,” I whisper hotly. “More, Damon. Make love to me.”
With that, the gorgeous man turns things up a notch. He runs his hands down my sides and over my belly to my hips before pulling me as close as possible. My big stomach bumps into him but I swear, it only turns him on more.
“I love a woman who’s expecting,” he rasps while looking down at the globe between us. “Fuck, you’re so ripe.”
I giggle softly.
“I’m ripe for you, Mr. Stanton.”
Damon groans low in his throat, and then sweeps me off my feet so that he’s cradling me bridle style.
