of his green eyes sent a rush of anticipation through her body. Even though she thoroughly enjoyed sex, she was not a promiscuous woman who hopped in bed on a first date. But what else could you call what she was about to do?
She had never experienced such a strong feeling transmitted without any words. It was as if he had silently given her permission to let go of any concerns or uncertainties and trust her instincts. That everything they shared sexually would be safe …certainly physically. Even though they had known each other five years and had developed a very comfortable working relationship, their personal non-business interaction had consisted of only the last few hours. Yet in that short time she knew he was a man any woman could easily fall for in a big way. A man who could have any woman he wanted. The danger was definitely emotional.
All her insecurities from the past returned with a vengeance, everything that plagued her following her divorce came rushing back. Would he think less of her for instantly jumping into bed with him? Would she be able to satisfy the needs and desires of such a dynamic man? Would he be disappointed in her as a lover? And the reality constantly lurking in the back of her mind…could her actions tonight have an adverse impact on their future business relationship?
Then another reality intruded into her apprehension, one that overruled her concerns. He was a man who could be trusted—an honorable man. Exactly the type of man with whom she wanted to spend her life.
She had secretly lusted after Parker Simmons for a long time, too long to allow this opportunity to be denied. He enfolded her in his embrace, but before he could pull her to him, she secured her hand between their bodies. The sensation of his rigid cock as it pressed against her palm told her just how exhilarating sex with him was going to be. She wrapped her hand around his ample girth. Her fingers tingled from the heat of his engorged veins. The thought of his hard shaft filling her pussy, thrusting in and out with ever-increasing intensity, had her pulse galloping.
Moisture seeped from between her pussy lips. Her entire body quivered in anticipation. Then his mouth claimed hers, both demanding and giving at the same time. She pressed her breasts against the hard planes of his chest. His breathing felt as ragged as hers.
He slid his hands down her back, then cupped her bare ass cheeks as he maneuvered her the few steps toward the bed. The back of her knees hit against the mattress. Her legs buckled, the sudden loss of balance causing her to lose her hold on his cock as she fell back onto the bed.
And a moment later, he was next to her, his torso touching along the length of her body. He placed a soft kiss on each of her tautly puckered nipples. "I've thought about this, even visualized it, but never thought it would happen."
Even though his words came out in a raspy whisper, their message resonated loud and clear. Her heart swelled with the emotional impact. Then a moment of rational thinking made its way through the cloud of euphoria. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she grasped that he hadn't said exactly what she originally heard—his words said sex, but she had heard emotion. She quickly shoved the unacceptable realization aside and allowed the tender warmth to inundate her. "You took the words right out of my mouth."
A sly grin turned the corners of his lips, and a mischievous twinkle shone in the depth of his eyes. "What other treats does your mouth offer?"
"I'll be happy to show you." Brazen words, an aggressive manner…this was not like her, not like her at all. But being naked in bed with this incredibly desirable man had a solid impact on her normally sensible demeanor. Just the thought of the possibilities made her mouth water and her pussy tingle.
With a renewed confidence coursing through her veins, she ran her hand across his sculpted chest then down to his rigid shaft. Her lips quickly followed
