Charleigh.” She swirled her utensil through a puddle of sauce, but didn’t scoop any of the food onto the tines. The woman was playing with him. Maybe he should give her a little inducement to focus and hurry. The feel of her on his lap had wiped out all thought of food. His appetite centered on the curved body pressed against him. “Eat. Eat faster. Those orders keep piling up. We can’t forget those plans you made which never happened. Time get away from you?” Her voice held a lilt of laughter as she looked up at him through her lashes. She definitely needed to burn off some of that attitude. He couldn’t think of a better way to dispense with it than to have her screaming her passion and aching to be fucked. He slid his hand down a little lower and cupped her pussy firmly. Only the fabric separated his fingers from the slick moisture he knew he’d find. He wanted to rip those pants off and lay her across the table. He also wanted to tease her until she was begging to be taken. He didn’t have the fortitude for the latter at the moment. His gaze settled on a work island in the kitchen. That would serve well for what he planned for his Charleigh. She stiffened and drew in a sharp breath as he pushed his hand against her pussy and rubbed. Her eyes widened. He saw the surprise flash through them. She’d obviously expected more coaxing. He pressed his fingers between the lips and stroked. He’d given her enough chances and she continued to taunt and delay. He rubbed his fingers over that sensitive flesh between her thighs. Her thighs tightened as if to hold his hand there, but he drew his hand up to the fastening on her pants. He flicked the button open, but didn’t thrust his hand in the widening gap, even though he wanted to do it. He thrust his hand back between her legs and came to his feet. Pulling her back against him, he pressed his fingers between the plump lips and used the friction of the fabric to torment her. Her hips rocked forward into his hand. He longed to peel her pants down and thrust his fingers deep into her pussy. He could almost feel the warm clench of her inner walls as she tried to pull them deeper. But he waited. She had to be hovering on the edge. Being so close to her and holding her soft body against his had stretched the last of his control to a thin edge. He needed to feel her pussy gripping his cock as she screamed her release. He pressed kisses up her neck and paused to nibble her ear. As his free hand settled over the curve of one breast, he lapped at the tempting lobe so close to his lips. She shivered and her body arched, pushing her pussy against his hand. He felt her heartbeat thumping against his palm on her breast. “See that counter. I’m going to strip you bare and bend you over it. I’ll drive into you hard. I want to hear you scream as you come, squeezing my cock with each thrust,” he whispered the words against her ear. She moaned. He tightened his fingers on her breast. Rocking his hips against her buttocks, he teased them both. Her hand stole back and rubbed along his thigh. He knew if she could manage it, she’d be holding and stroking his cock. The image alone sent the blood raging straight to his dick. He wanted to rip her pants off and drive deep now. As much as he’d like to see her completely naked, he didn’t know if he’d manage it. He lifted his hand from her breast and pulled her shirt up. With her help, he managed to get it over her head. He dropped it to the floor. Focused now on getting rid of the barriers between them, he used both hands to push her pants down her rounded hips and thighs. Her silky panties remained in place, but he hooked his fingers in the fabric and tugged them down until they fell around her ankles. He stepped back so that he could get them far enough for her to step out of them. She stepped free, turned and put her arms around him. He ran his hands down her back, for a moment savoring the feel of her skin beneath his
