became noticeably more strained, and he even broke off twice as he seemed to lose his
train of thought.
If she were a good fiancée, she’d leave him alone, become invisible while he
conducted business and reappear later, but she’d already proven she wasn’t the best at
suppressing her own wants. Not when it came to Theron.
As she parted the lapels, she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his bare chest.
She felt his quick intake of breath, heard his strangled response to whoever it was he was
talking to.
She’d give him two more minutes tops. If he resisted beyond then, she’d have to
give him credit for being very strong indeed.

Ignoring his disapproving look, she slipped from his lap and went seeking lower,
unfastening the button of his pants. Every muscle in his thighs locked and went rigid
when her hand caressed his equally rigid erection.
One minute left. Hmm.
She lowered her head as she gently freed him from constraint. When her mouth
touched him, she heard his garbled response to whatever the other person on the phone
had asked, and then she heard the unmistakable sound of a phone meeting the wall.
She smiled even as he lurched upward, grabbing her under the arms and hauling
her into his arms.
A torrent of Greek flew from his mouth as he strode for the bedroom.
“English, Theron,” she said with a laugh.
“Theos, but what are you trying to do to me?” he demanded as he tossed her onto
the bed. “I’ll have to ban you from my offices if this is the sort of thing you’ll do when
I’m trying to conduct business.”
She tried to suppress the grin as he tore off his shirt and pants and sent them
flying.
“Undress,” he said seductively.
She raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that your job?”
He fell forward, landing his hands on either side of her shoulders as he stared
down at her. Then he reached for her hands and pulled them over her head, transferring
her wrists into one hand so the other was free.
Then he began to unbutton her shirt. His movements were jerky and impatient as
he ridded her of every stitch of clothing.
When he was finished, he let go of her hands. “Turn over,” he said.
She looked up in confusion.
His fingers roamed down her nakedness even as he urged her over.
“Do as I say, pethi mou.”
She shivered at the authority in his voice. Maybe she had started this whole thing,
but it seemed he intended to finish it.
Carefully she rolled until her belly pressed against the mattress. She tucked her
hands high, just over her head as she felt Theron lean down once more.
His fingers danced across the small of her back, and then she realized he was
tracing her tattoo. She smiled.
“Do you like it?” she murmured.
“It’s driven me crazy since the first day you walked into my office,” he muttered.
“I’ve had the most insane urge to throw you down and trace it with my tongue.”
“There’s nothing stopping you,” she said lazily.
“Indeed not.”
She jumped and closed her eyes when his warm tongue made contact with her
skin. He emblazoned a damp trail over the small of her back and then he pressed a kiss
right over her spine.
“The fairy is misleading. You should have had a devil tattooed on you.”
She smiled again and rolled over, meeting his smoldering gaze. “And where do
you propose this devil go?”

His lips curled into a half smile before he dipped his head and kissed the area
right above the soft curls at the juncture of her legs. “Here,” he murmured. “Where only I
can enjoy it.”
“Don’t tease me, Theron,” she whispered. “I want you so much.”
“Then take me, Bella.” He spread her legs and covered her with his body. And
suddenly he was inside her, deep and full. “Take all of me,” he said hoarsely.
She wrapped arms and legs around him, holding him tight as he filled her again
and again. His lips found hers, sweet and warm. She drank from him, took from him, and
still she wanted more. She wanted everything he had to give.
This time they came together, an explosion she felt to her very depths. As his
body settled comfortably over hers, she sighed in utter contentment.
After a moment he rolled to the side and gathered her in his arms.
