I hear the elevator doors open, followed by the shuffle of feet as people step out. I have no idea if everyone else is gone, but it doesn't make any difference either way.
All I care about right now is teasing him as I lick the side of his neck and nibble on his ear.
All I'm living for is the way his fingers dig into my skin—-
"Goddammit, bella."
Since he doesn't make any attempt to lower his voice this time, I open my eyes, realize we're finally alone, and when I look back at Mr. Sexual Chemistry—-
Gray eyes bore into me, and a helpless laugh spills past my lips.
Mary, the secretary working for both Nic and my big brother Stone, once told me that I should at least be open to the possibility I can be attracted to other guys.
I had trouble believing her at that time, and I even remember telling her that I can't ever imagine any other guy who would make me feel heavenly the way Nic does.
Now, however...
I'm a completely different girl, and it's all thanks to Mr. Sexual Chemistry I'm able to flirt and play the tease. It's all because of him that I somehow found the confidence to sit on a stranger's lap...and even ask him to have sex with me.
It normally takes me months before I can even consider lowering my guard with people I've just met, but with Mr. Sexual Chemistry here—-
I have no idea why it feels so right between us, but it just does...and that's when I realize something else.
"You're looking a little too happy, bella."
"Um..." I wish I could tell him the truth, but wouldn't it be T.M.I. if I let him know that the reason I'm so happy is because he's made my heart stop hurting over another man?
"Teasing me is that fun, hm?"
Oh, thank God.
I nod right away, thinking that any excuse should be good enough, but when I see the way he arches his brow—-
Uh-oh.
I realize too late that admitting to being pleased about teasing him might not have been that good an idea, but when I open my mouth to apologize and do what I can to appease his ego—-
Oh no.
It's too late.
All I can do is gasp as he suddenly perches me on the elevator handlebar, and as my back falls against the mirrored wall, he leans forward at the same time and grips my hair with one hand.
"My turn," he murmurs, "to tease you back."
And then he's kissing me very, very passionately, with his lips forcefully prying mine open, and his tongue thrusting inside my mouth as soon as I gasp for breath.
It's the wildest and most savage of kisses, and I love it.
I love the way his lips are pressing against mine with such sweet roughness, and I love the way his tongue is driving so, so deep into my mouth I almost have a hard time breathing. I love everything about his kiss, and I just can't think of anything better than this except—-
Oh God.
His mouth abruptly leaves mine, but before I can even start to wonder why, I already feel his lips trailing down my neck, and my head falls back against the wall.
I've never considered my neck an erogenous zone of my body, but now I understand why having someone kiss you here can make you go weak on the knees.
This man's lips are just so incredibly good at making me feel things, and when I feel him start to suck——
Aaaaaah.
I know what he's doing will leave the most embarrassing hickey on my skin when he's done, but I just can't make myself care. It's impossible to care about anything else, with the way his mouth on my neck is making him feel.
All I can do is dig my fingers deep into his back while I strive hard not to make any noise. I wish this could go on and on, oh please let this go on and on, except—-
The next time I hear the elevator doors open, the sound that comes after makes me feel like I've been caught committing a crime.
"Zee?"
Francesca
Nic and I are about to step inside the elevator when we see the couple making out...and realize a moment later that the girl is none other than the younger sister of Nic's best friend.
My fiancé automatically hits the Hold button, and I tell myself he's just being protective as he should be.
Zee is like a sister to him, and as Nic's future wife, I should also see her as family...even if the half-Dutch heiress is as close to perfection as any girl can hope to be.
Zee isn't just beautiful and smart, but she's also incredibly kind, hardworking, and well-mannered. Any guy would be lucky to have her, but even though no one has told me this, I've known from the start that the only guy Zee has been interested in...is the man whose engagement ring I'm wearing on my finger.
