"I thought you said you couldn't." His lips travelled around my ear, breathing against it as he made these small thrusts, gifting me every last milky bead.
Giving him my exposed neck, I sought below, slowly massaging his scrotum before I huskily whispered, "I'm willing to risk it. I can't lose this … This is too good to let go."
His half-mast length began to harden again, making us both groan in unison.
"How high will you jump to get me to say yes, Cara?"
"Anything … Anything you ask." I was in so deep. I never wanted out. Juan was a mistake I didn't intend on repeating.
He cradled my cheek before he brought his face inches from mine. "Even if I add another woman in the equation?"
I swallowed the lump in my throat before I rasped out with a steady voice, "Even then." He wants to take it there? Well, fine, let's really take it there.
"Choose the woman for tonight."
All right …
Unblinking, I made a quick choice. "I want Stassy." The woman was slutty, but hot, and I'd choose her over Willa any day. "But this only happens tonight. If you think this will be a common thing, I'll withdraw my deal." He got a pass because I promised to make good on his fantasies, and I supposed this was one of them.
"That won't be a problem." He spoke with utmost confidence before his forefinger lifted my chin, eyeing me with ambiguity. "Are you sure you want to do this, Cara?"
"Never been sure in my life, River." Sure, this was beyond the realm of what I was accustomed to, but maybe it was time we mixed things up a bit.
The man responded with another kiss as he began to roll his hips harder, nearing completion before he came inside me, shuddering with intensity. "No more until tonight; my cock needs to recharge." River tenderly pressed his lips to my forehead, holding me close before he lovingly kissed me. "Come back to bed. I want you with me. I barely slept last night."
Oh, steady my beating heart.
My eyes roved over his gorgeous face, hopelessly in love with him. "Let me call Cora so I can inform her that I won't be back until tomorrow, then I'll join you after."
He nodded before kissing both of my hands and murmured, "Don't take too long."
I'm going to win him back, my mind grounded with one purpose as I watched him retreat back to the bedroom.
The call informing Cora that I had to extend my day off due to personal crisis didn't go as smoothly as planned. I didn't disclose any intimate details of my present situation, but I stressed enough that I needed another day to fix my relationship with River. And since Joshua Peaks' flight was delayed from London, she eventually granted me a day off, though I had to promise that I'd be ready to work at five a.m. the next morning.
Okay, thank God that was over. I let out a breath of relief as I hopped off the smooth, cold counter, in dire need of warmth from the man I couldn't live without.
When I emerged from the bathroom, I found River fast asleep. His naked body was partially covered with a white sheet hanging low on his hips, showcasing the fine specimen that he was-chiseled, exquisite, all defined hard mass of muscle, and with a mean dick to match his perfection. And right on cue, his semen slowly spurted out of my crevice, reminding me of his fierce lovemaking.
Retracing my steps, it took me another five minutes to clean myself up before I climbed in bed with him, and when I did, he automatically pulled me against the heat of his body, spooning me as he nestled his nose against the back of my neck, welcoming me home.
No matter how I painted it, denied it with every fiber of my soul, at the end of the day, the truth remained unchanged-River would always be my home.
Secured in his embrace, I dozed off, holding his hand over my chest.
Sometime later, I woke up with River kissing the back of my ear, whispering, "Stassy's on board."
Sleep fog vanished in an instant. Events from earlier flashed in my mind before things began to fall into place. Stassy. Tonight. Right.
I wasn't necessarily intimidated, more like apprehensive seeing this in a different perspective, like an initiation of a sort. A rite of passage to become the woman who promised him her body and soul.
"How did you manage to get her to agree so quickly?" When he wanted something done, River wasted no time.
He shrugged. "I just asked, and she said yes."
I paused, frowning. "You just brazenly walked up to her and asked if she wanted to join us, and she said okay without an ounce of hesitation?" What kind of women did he surround himself with? How many Stassys were there trotting along with his crew? The thought didn't help with the suppressed jealousy I'd been holding back.
