“Look at me, Chloe.” Fin grunts above me, his hips continuing to pummel me, the walls of my core beginning to tighten. “Look at me when we come.”
I blink my eyes open to find his staring down at me, so much darker than I’ve seen them before, his desire blazing. “You’re so fucking perfect.” His hips thrust into me after each word, the next deeper than before, the last one sending me toppling over the edge. His name leaves my parted lips in a strangled breath as stars burst beneath lids I can no longer keep open.
“Fuck, yes!” His hips surge against mine once, twice, and then a final time as his release throbs against my clenching muscles, both of us panting as we cling to one another.
He moves first, pulling me with him as he rolls onto his side, sliding out of me as he does, sending small aftershocks pulsating through my core. I squeeze my legs together, moaning at the tingling pleasure, already wanting more. His arm wraps me close, his heart thundering under my cheek as I drape across his chest. “Was that my signing bonus?” I giggle, high from the orgasm I just had.
His chest rumbles under my cheek, the vibrations when he speaks ticklish against my ear. “That was the pre-signing bonus.” He moves at lightning speed, rolling me over to trap my body under his, that gorgeous dimple tempting me as he looms over me. “Give me a half-hour and you’ll get a bonus so amazing, you’re going to wonder how you even had a second thought about working for me.”
I lift my head and capture his mouth in mine, nipping his lip playfully when I pull away. “I don’t work for you, remember?”
He presses another kiss against my mouth then smiles again. “So, you’re going to take the job?”
“I mean,” I laugh, slapping a hand over my face in resignation, “I don’t think I’m going to get a bonus like this anywhere else.”
“You bet your ass you won’t.” He chuckles, rolling me over again, adjusting me so that I’m straddling him. My
long hair hangs down between us as I lean down.
My expression grows serious. “This could be hard.”
He wiggles his hips under me. “Oh, believe me, it will be. Any second now.”
I deliver a playful slap to his chest. “I mean working together. Get your mind out of the gutter.”
“Only if we let it.” He sits up underneath me, aligning his chest with mine, a soft kiss falling against my lips before he continues. “As I said earlier, we really won’t see each other in the office unless we want to. We have completely separate responsiblities.”
I rest my forehead against his. “Good. Because, I think I like you. And I think I’m going to want to keep doing this.”
One side of his mouth quirks up in a smile before pressing against mine. “Good, because I know I like you, and I know I want to do this again.”
“So, I guess everything is coming up roses for me then?” I question, wanting to believe everything could really be this simple.
His fingers grip around my bum to push my center against his, my brows shooting up when I feel his hard length. “Well, something certainly is coming up.” He growls, rocking into me again, an inviting smirk on his lips. “If you still want to do this again.”
I grin, capturing his mouth with mine, my silent acceptance to both the job and the sex, knowing in my heart that this is just the start of something amazing.
