What He Desires Read Online Free Page A

in his arms. He lowers his lips to mine, invading my mouth with a force he seems unable to subdue. Because he catches me in a moment when I’m wishing I can be all over him, I don’t resist throwing my arms around his neck and returning the passionate kiss, matching his tongue stroke for stroke. We’re both battling for control; something neither of us really have around the other.
    Especially since I’ve given in to the inevitable even if I haven’t agreed to it out loud.
    Marriage.
    Sex more than once with the same man.
    I can’t escape it, so I may as well enjoy it while it lasts.
    Because it always ends badly.
    Where the hell had that thought come from?
    Before I can examine the answer, he rips his mouth from mine in such an abrupt fashion that I’d’ve stumbled if it weren’t for his arms around me. Arms that leave me just seconds later as he steps back.
    “We should get going. Give me two minutes.”
    He turns away at my nod.
    I race from the room lest I give in to the craving for his cock, and give reality the finger as I drag him back to bed.

 
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER FIVE
     
    Ten minutes later, we are on our way to my place.
    It doesn’t take long for Tobias to start in on the manager thing.
    “Let me hire another person to help you.”
    It’s dark inside the car and out, but I still turn my head his way and glare even though he can’t see me.
    Then, I pause.
    If he’s going to insist, I will use it to my advantage.
    “Okay, sure.”
    His laugh is short and full of disbelief. “Right. Something tells me there is a but…?”
    “Smart man.”
    He really is. It unnerves me that he knows me so well already.
    “Well?”
    I take a deep breath before letting it out slowly. “If you think I need help, fine. But I get to choose who to hire, and you are responsible for paying them.”
    “No problem. I will send you some candidates today that are qualified so you can interview them.”
    I want to object. I’m perfectly able to find people myself, but it will be faster to let him assist me. “People who have applied to work with you, I’m guessing?”
    “Smart woman.”
    God, he’s such a smart ass.
    I love it.
    “There is something else I’d like to discuss with you,” he says, his hand finding mine and curling around it so I can’t pull mine away. “Rules.”
    Excuse me?
    “What?” is what I say out loud.
    He chuckles. “Rules. I assume since you played along last night that you are comfortable with a submissive role. Am I wrong?”
    Oh, I see. I decide to have fun with it.
    “What is this exactly? Fifty Shades of Grey , take two?”
    “No. Unlike Christian, my sanity is intact. And you have to admit, I’m much more attractive. Wouldn’t you agree?”
    Of course he is, but I’m hardly going to feed into his ego. Instead, I bring one finger up to my mouth and purse my lips.
    “Hold on, I need to consult my inner Goddess.” I pause a beat, then retort, “She says I could probably do better.”
    “Tell your inner Goddess she’s a dumb ass.” He pulls his hand away with a laugh, and rests it on my shoulder. “Now, am I wrong?”
    I sigh. “No, you’re not.”
    “Good.” He squeezes my hand. “First, you should never wear underthings when around me.”
    “Never?”
    “Never, unless you’d like them ripped off you.”
    And just like that, I’m wishing his cock was inside me right this second. I clench my thighs together, asking, “What’s number two?”
    “You will tell me where you are going at all times.”
    Oh, hell no!
    “I will n—“
    “Jocelyn.” He cuts me off, raising his voice to make sure I hear him. “This isn’t about controlling you. It’s about making sure I know where you are and with whom, so that if anything happens or I need you, I’m not left trying to figure out where you’ve gone.”
    “But I don’t go anywhere!”
    “Then it shouldn’t be a problem, correct?”
    I look out the window, not answering. I want to tell him I’m not
