His Secretary:Undone(19)
"That's right." He's almost panting. There's no way he can hold back for much longer, and I know I've got that on my side, at least. "This is your punishment, remember? You don't come unless I tell you so."
Okay, so, this was one of the hottest elements of his books. I remember it well. I loved reading about it, but damned if I ever wanted to experience it. Every other man I've been with had enough trouble getting me there in the first place; orgasm denial was never in their lexicon. Adrian obviously doesn't have that problem. He's confident enough to toy with me.
But how far will he take it?
I can break his resolve. I'm confident of that. Smiling to myself, I squeeze my inner muscles tight. It almost triggers my own climax, it's that close, but I'm able to hold it back. For now. Adrian groans, twitching deep inside me. A moment later, he jerks out of me, and delivers one more solid smack. I yelp, more at the loss of his cock than anything else.
"Bad girl," he whispers, and I hear the soft noise of the condom being discarded, the rapid sound of skin on skin, slicked with my wetness. "You know what this means, don't you?"
I can guess. Every part of my body's throbbing and as much as I want him inside me again, oh God, I want him to claim me. I want the mark of his come on my skin, such a potent and unmistakable message after I spent the evening with those cover models.
I want to be his.
I'm not stupid. I know that's not really what it means. I know it's just a primal urge, he just needs to come somewhere and he's on a fucking power trip.
"Yeah," I whisper. "So fucking do it, then. Mark your territory."
He pitches forward, grabbing my shoulder with his free hand. "You want it?" he whispers.
"Fuck yeah." I lick my lips. "I'm all yours, Sir."
The noise that comes out of his mouth is unholy. My pussy clenches, and I feel the wet splashes on my back, my ass. Fuck fuck fuck. I could almost come from that sensation alone, and I feel a gush of my own fluids answering him, trickling down my thigh.
Adrian plunges three fingers inside me, very suddenly. "Now," he commands.
I'm done for.
My body seizes up with pleasure, I'm shouting, trembling, and it feels like it goes on for ages. When it's over I just want to curl up in a ball, but I know I'm a sticky mess, so I force myself to my feet and face him. He's smiling.
"I really thought you were gonna make me wait longer than that," I tell him.
"So did I." A wicked half-smile. "But you were so lovely, offering yourself up to me like that. I thought you deserved it."
And then he grabs my head and kisses me.
This, I realize, is our first kiss. It's appropriately perverse that it should happen now, and he's smearing my own juices in my hair, and his jizz, too, probably. Did it get on his hand? Which hand? I've been on the pill for a while, so I'm not unduly worried about some of his seed getting inside me, but I wonder how careful he was.
When he pulls away, I wipe my mouth and grin at him. "You know if you knock me up, that kid's gonna come out with horns."
"It didn't get inside you, I promise," he says. "But I won't be offended if you want to take a morning-after pill. Or perform some kind of black magic ceremony. I'm not really sure what's appropriate under the circumstances."
"Relax. I'm on the pill. And for future reference, unless I've been visited by an incubus since my last checkup - not counting you, of course - then I'm still squeaky clean." I hug myself, feeling the wetness slide between my thighs. "Metaphorically speaking."
"Ah. Me too," he says. "Except it would be a succubus, right? Hopefully." He makes a silent gesture that I interpret as an invitation to join him in the shower, which sounds like a spectacular idea.
"Why does it matter?" I ask him, laughing, as I follow him into the bathroom. "They're both trying to suck out your soul through your dick."
"I don't know. What if I wake up in the middle of it? I feel like I'd handle it better if it was a female demon, at least. Just one less thing to deal with." He turns on the water. "I sound like an idiot, don't I?"
"Yup." I laugh at him, stepping out of my skirt. I've got his rapt attention now, and normally I'm a little shy the first time I undress in front of somebody, but he's looking at me like I'm a glass of perfectly-aged bourbon he can't wait to get his lips around. "Though I guess there's always that chance the incubus is gonna go knocking on the back door. Less likely with the succubus, unless she's the full-service variety."
To his credit, he doesn't look embarrassed. "What finishing school did you attend, again?"
I take off my bra, and while he's staring, I flip him off with both hands.
Chapter Nine
When I wake up, it takes me a few seconds to remember where I am. There's the usual oh, I'm not at home realization, quickly followed by oh, I'm not in my own room, either. Which is, of course, immediately followed by:
Right, I slept with Adrian last night.
And he didn't kick me out, so, that's something.
There's no sign of him anywhere, though. All his stuff is here, so it's not like he fled in the night, but on my trip to the bathroom and back I don't spot any sign that he was here recently. Yawning, I climb back into bed and snuggle under the covers. There's still a while before morning sessions, and I don't care about most of them anyway. I slept like a baby after last night, somehow, but I'm still tired.
I have no idea how late we stayed up. I could already see the gears turning in his head, revving up for Round 2, as I stripped down for the shower. We "washed" each other, then made out for a while until I was practically humping his leg, at which point he took mercy on me with those very, very skilled fingers. As much as I appreciated them, I still wanted the chance he'd robbed me of earlier. And I finally got it, when he took me to bed.
So yeah, maybe that's why I'm still so sleepy. I could go back to my own room, but having left the connecting door locked, in my infinite wisdom, I've eliminated the possibility of doing so without getting dressed. And that sounds like a hassle and a half.
The sound of the door clicking open shakes me out of my dozing. I push myself up on my elbows, squinting at Adrian as he walks in.
"Morning," he says, smiling. I feel a little twinge of relief in my chest. "Any thoughts on breakfast?"
"Some." I'm flirting with him. I can't help it. His groin is basically at eye level as he approaches the bed, and it would take superhuman willpower not to think about the possibilities. "Why, what do you have in mind?"
He grins. "I'm trying to think of a way to make a 'hair of the dog' joke that's not going to come across badly. So far, no dice."
I keep expecting the room to go cold and quiet, the way it did in the pool. But he pauses by the bed, his fingers brushing my leg under the covers before he drops a shopping bag in my lap.
"What's this?" I frown at it, unfolding it slowly to reveal the contents. I have to spend a couple minutes blinking the sleep out of my eyes before I can process what I'm looking at.
Panties. Sensible ones. But not too sensible - little black boyshorts, cute but practical, and one hundred percent cotton so they'll actually stay where they belong. I look up at Adrian with genuine gratitude in my eyes, but something in his face deflects it before I can say what I want to say.
"These are too small," I tell him, instead.
He tilts his head slightly. "You can't possibly know that without trying them on."
Rolling my eyes, I clamber out of bed, trying not to notice how his whole body language changes while he drinks in the sight. I'm still wearing his discarded shirt, and I know, for whatever reason, that drives guys completely insane. It doesn't hurt that I might as well be naked. It's not even remotely big enough to be decent, so he's getting an eyeful, but there's just enough of the crisp white fabric to be a little bit of a tease. Something tells me we're not going to make the morning conference sessions.
I step into the boyshorts, shamelessly, and have to shimmy a little bit to get them up over my hips. But if I keep them riding low, technically, they fit.
Advantage Risinger.
He looks me up and down, licking his lips. It's pretty obvious he dressed in a hurry this morning, to sneak out and get me this little gift, so his sleeves are rolled up to the elbows and his hair's falling out of place in a way that's practically inviting me to grab a handful and guide him home.
Advantage Burns.
"I win," he says, closing the tiny distance between us. He tilts his head to mine but he doesn't kiss me, not quite, and I'm grateful for that on account of my morning breath. But something tells me he's not going to care. "Now, Ms. Burns, I just watched your pupils go the size of dinner plates while you stared at me. You want to share what's going through your head, or do I have to run down my arsenal until you surrender?"
