her beauty and she had nothing to hide behind when I penetrated her with my heated glare.
“You look ravishing, as ever, Miss Braxton.” I watched her mouth morph into a slow, shy smile as her cheeks blushed, and I hardened in response.
“Come here,” I ordered, my tone as masterful and demanding as I could manage when speaking to Emily.
She perched herself on the bed beside me and rested her hand lightly on my naked chest. I inhaled deeply, I wanted her. I grasped her waist with two firm hands and flipped her onto her back beside me before quickly rolling myself on top of her, squeezing my hips between her thighs. She giggled loudly and pushed hard against my shoulders. But my shoulders were too strong for her feeble arms and I didn’t budge. Instead, I nipped gently at her neck with my teeth as she thrashed and squirmed beneath me. I loved that sound. Her totally carefree laughter that I didn’t hear even nearly often enough. I would be sure to do something about that.
“Julian, not now!” she squealed through her childish giggles. “I’ve got to take Maia to nursery!”
Oh? Fuck, there goes that one then. I’d have to endure the displeasure of aching balls until she got home.
“Shall I wait here for you then?” I whispered before tugging gently on her ear lobe with my teeth. She frowned slightly through her wide grin and I pressed my erection firmly between her thighs as an explanation to my latest question.
“You can wait here if you want. I might be a while though.” She flashed that sexy smile of hers, purposely teasing me as she knew I couldn’t do anything about it.
I groaned loudly. “Don’t look at me like that!” I warned.
“Why? What are you going to do about it?” She flashed me that smile once more as her eyes took on a wicked gleam. Ah God, what was she trying to do to me?
“I’ll fuck you right now if you carry on,” I mused as I returned her wicked grin.
“I don’t have time.”
“I can be surprisingly fast.”
“Wait here, I’ll be as quick as I can.”
“Okay, I can wait,” I lied. The truth was that it was actually taking an enormous amount of concentration on my self control to stop myself from tearing her clothes off her right now. I reluctantly released my grasp on her wrists and rolled to the side, freeing her to move off the bed before I did indeed act on my impulse. That probably wouldn’t go down too well.
“You can’t lay here for that long! I bet you’re not still there when I get back.” She was challenging me now. She was right, I would find it a tough ordeal to lay here for that long, but now I’d have to do it, wouldn’t I?
“I’ll bet you I am!”
I heard the front door snap closed and felt instantly restless. I wondered how long it would take for her to return. Twenty minutes? Maybe thirty, I guessed. She was right; I couldn’t lay here for that long. But she had made it a challenge, and I didn’t easily give up on a challenge.
I reached for my phone and illuminated the black screen. 8.54 a.m. Maia started nursery at 9a.m so she would soon be there, I’d guess. I would call Natalie. That should pass a considerable amount of time as I had had six missed calls off her during the night. No doubt she would be more than pissed at me for attacking Ryan. Could my head really cope with that right now? Probably not, but it was either that, or get up. And given the fact I would only be straight back in bed as soon as Emily returned; there didn’t seem much point in losing our bet. With a deep, deflating sigh, I pressed call.
“Julian!” Natalie’s shrilling tone pierced through my ear as she picked up her phone. I moved the phone away from my ear, hovering it at a safe distance. Just close enough for me to hear my sister, but not so close that it physically hurt my ear each time she spoke.
“Hi, you called?”
“Yes! About five times, do you not answer your phone anymore?” she ranted.
“I was otherwise engaged.” I grinned at
