Jamie pushed at his chest hard when they reached the bed, forcing him onto his back. He started to protest, but she crawled up the length of his body and spread herself over the top of him. His hands clamped down on her ass painfully, and he jerked her up before pressing back hard - impaling her on his thickness.
She cried out at the pleasure that burst through her.
He gripped her hips and smiled cockily. "Sit up and work me. I want to see your body. It's the biggest turn on I've had in my life."
Sitting up, she began to rock her hips, not caring about anything but the pleasure he offered. It had been too long and her body knew it. With fingers digging into the thick muscle of his chest, she lifted up and worked herself right over the edge.
Her arms shook from the intensity of the orgasm, but he held on tightly, fucking her from underneath. The moment she stilled, he flipped them, forcing her to press her front against the cold sheets. He mounted her from behind and slid back into her, gripping her ass for leverage as he began his assault.
"How the hell can I live without you? What was I thinking? You're the only warmth in my life, Jamie." He plunged into her in deep, strong strokes.
She closed her eyes as his words and the feel of him taking her consumed her. There were no words to respond with. The situation between them was something he was going to have to work out. She would be there as long as she could without having her heart stomped on.
"You look so good, baby. So beautiful and sexy." He leaned down and pressed his chest to her back as his angle shifted and she cried out. The spot he rubbed against was almost too much as he continued to fuck her at a steady rhythm.
"I'm going to come," she whispered roughly against the sheet.
He stretched her arms above her head with his, the strength he applied as he held her down was over the top.
Heat spread from her center, and she bucked against him as she came harder than she remembered doing in a long time. The sound of his own pleasure prolonged hers. He might not be able to live without her, but she would surely die without him. There could be no other choice but one where they were together. Accepting anything less wasn't a possibility.
Chapter 16
As they looked at the building Alex was interested in purchasing, he promised Jamie that he would talk with Annette about taking a pregnancy test. He even spoke of getting his lawyer involved now. It was the only way to see if the bitch was telling the truth, or pulling their strings, which wouldn't have surprised Jamie at all. Something about the situation was off. Namely the timing.
The large investor meeting was the next morning, and after parting ways, Jamie got busy working on her part of the presentation and left Alex alone to work on his. He wouldn't be available that night, but she was sated for the first time in weeks and was glad to give him the time to pull his last minute adjustments together. He hadn't told her that he loved her after their love making session, but she could see it all over his face.
Things would be okay.
She woke early the next morning and dressed in a nice black skirt-suit, pulling her hair into a bun and making sure she looked incredibly professional. The handful of investors that would at their conference were her charge. Lots of people would come for the training that Alex would give out on making wise investments and reading financial markets, but she was to keep their most invested members happy.
Nicholas would be among them, and the thought made her a little leery. He was such a nice guy, and the type of man that would not only promise her the world, but also deliver on it too. There had to be a way to let him down easily, and yet the selfish side of her didn't want to. If things didn't work out with Alex, she'd be furious at herself for giving up the opportunity to be with someone like Nicholas.
You're in love with Alex. It's part of the risk.
She walked into the office, still thinking through the most prudent way to push the handsome older man back. Paul walked in behind her totting two cups of coffee.
"Hey you. I got you this. I'm looking forward to the conference today. Aren't you speaking?" He handed her one.
"Thanks. How sweet of you, and yeah, I'm giving a training on the new blackberry and apple applications that have just rolled out. Mostly on organization and time management. Just extras that Alex thought would be good additions to the conference."
She took a tentative sip of her drink before walking into their shared office.
"Are you nervous?" Paul asked and dropped his stuff on the floor beside his desk.
"No. Maybe I should be, but I've been dealing with so much real life crap that work is almost a break."
He chuckled. "Man don't I understand that. I started dating this new girl and she's so high maintenance. I'm thinking we're just about at the end of this ride."
