needs, wants—all that and more—when a man had kissed her and his body touched her like Devin had.
When he finally got into the car and looked at her, her face flushed when she remembered how she had pulled him closer and surged against him. She wondered how much further they would have gone if Billy had not come along and brought them back to earth.
“What are you thinking? Tell me what is going though your mind right now,” Devin asked her in his gently demanding voice.
“We shouldn’t have done that. I work for you and we shouldn’t have done that.” She blurted it out before she could hold it back and then felt her face heat more.
“You’re right; we shouldn’t have done that right there. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to do it again and that I don’t want to go further. I won’t lie to you, Veronica. I want you. I want you very badly. I want to taste you, surge inside of you deep. I want to make love to you in the worst way.”
“I...I work for you, Mr. Grant. I…”
“Veronica, if you call me Mr. Grant again, I’m going to bend you over my knee and spank you. Not that that doesn’t have its own appeal, but we’ll work up to that. For now, my name is Devin. Devin Grant. Say it, please?”
“Why? What could you possibly want from me that thousands of other women, women more in your league, couldn’t give you? Is it just the sex? That couldn’t be it. I’m neither sexy nor beautiful. I’m not terribly smart, I don’t have any money, and I—”
His mouth was suddenly over hers. Sliding closer out from under the steering wheel, he put his hands at her waist and pulled her into his lap, never breaking his mouth from hers. Moving her and adjusting her body, she was soon straddling his lap, her legs on either side of him. As he cupped her ass and pulled her forward closer to his body, his mouth moved down her throat and over her collar bone. Her body was on fire, lava replaced her blood, and her breathing had become ragged.
When his hands, hot and hard, spread across her bared ribs and pulled her forward, she moaned, grabbed his shoulders and threw back her head. His cock was pressed hard into her, and he rode her over him, moving her up and down his hardness with his hands gripping her tight. His mouth, seeking, found her breast, he bit though her clothes and into her nipple as she came apart, screaming through her first release.
There was not a part of her that she thought had been deprived of her release. Even her nipples ached and felt tender. Her heart pounded hard in her chest and she felt dizzy with it. Leaning forward, she laid her head onto his shoulder when she could claim her body again. As the tremors slowed and her heart was not pounding like a jack hammer, she started to stiffen and she could feel the tears start to well in her eyes.
“Don’t, love. Just let me hold you for a minute longer,” he crooned to her as he stroked her back and held her in his arms.
What had she done? she thought. She waited for him to...to what? Pulling back, Ronnie looked at him. His eyes were dark and she could see his need within them. The pulse at his throat pounded like hers had and she found herself wanting to take it into her mouth and nip at it.
“You didn’t come. You didn’t get your...you weren’t satisfied. Are you going to hurt me now?” She hated the sound of her voice, the sound of a small child.
“No, never. I will never hurt you, I promise.” He moved her hair from her eyes and continued to stare at her.
She did not know why, but she believed him. She laid her head back on his shoulder and stayed that way for several minutes before he pulled her back and looked at her.
“How about we go to dinner then I take you home?” He brushed her hair from her face again and moved her to the seat, buckling her into the seatbelt. She did not know why, but she felt strangely happy about his concern.
“I would rather just go home. Please?” He moved back under the
