The Tycoon's Secret(52)

Maybe it was the years she'd taken care of her sister, or the countless times she'd needed rescuing and no one came, but she felt a desire to fix Damien. She had to mend the fences between him and his family. She was clueless on how she was going to do it and she had a feeling she'd despise Damien by the time it was all over, but maybe their family would be healed, and her best friend safe. 

She couldn't seem to get words past her throat to either confirm or deny his accusations, but by the smile on his lips, he already knew what she'd say.

"I knew the thought of losing all that precious money would make you more cooperative. You're no better than those greedy bastards who couldn't bother to help a widow and her infant child," he snarled before his hand came up, causing her to visually flinch, though he only gripped the back of her head.

The heat of his breath brushed across her lips sending flames shooting to her core.

Sierra was repulsed at the renewed desire burning inside her. She hated him in that moment, but yet her body still yearned for his touch. She wished she could pull away, but her body wouldn't obey her mind.

His thumb traced her cheek, softly wiping a single anger filled tear making its way down her face. He brushed over her lip just as her tongue rushed out to moisten it again, the taste of salt from her tear instantly filling her mouth. His eyes dilated as she brought her tongue back inside.

"I'm not going to be used, Damien. You just said I'm nothing but a convenient step to you, yet you want me to turn over and forget all of that," Sierra said, trying to keep a clear head.

"I said that's how it started, Sierra. It's more, much more now. I can't resist you. I need you  –  need you more than anything else in this world right now. I … I can't explain what you're doing to me. You chase it all away."

Sierra was falling fast. She knew they were most likely just words, but they were having a strong impact on her.

"You're crowding me, Damien. I need air," Sierra said, trying with every last reserve to gain back a semblance of her sanity.

"I could be a whole lot closer, darling." Bitterness was radiating off of him in waves, and she was torn in half, trying to find the man she'd spent a week with in Australia inside this man who was so angry. She could see him masking the anger in sexual remarks and innuendos, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

As if to prove his point, he leaned in, his hips pushing against hers, leaving her with no doubt that their argument hadn't dimmed his desire. The feel of his solid erection pressing into her stomach created an instant response within Sierra.

"Point taken, you can ease back," she said, but the breathless quality of her tone bellied her words. It was obvious to both of them that she wanted him  –  needed him  –  was hungry like a wild animal. Her pheromones were practically screaming out to take her.

Without another word, he closed the gap and took her mouth in a fit of rage, passion, frustration, and something more. It was the something more that had her moaning as her arms wrapped around his neck.

Chapter Twenty-One

Damien pulled back as he tried to regain control over his body. He was frustrated. He'd just told her everything of his past, something he'd never shared. He was angry at his mother, his relatives, the pain he'd gone through. He didn't know any other way to reign in the pain other than by taking control. He had to get control, needed it more than he needed air. He had to push away the vulnerability.

As he pushed her, he noticed the flush to her skin, that her eyes were dilated. She wanted him and he had to take her, had to push away the past.

As he focused on desire, he was able to push the ill feelings away, forget about the Anderson's and revenge. Everything in him pushed him to move forward, claim her as his own and ease the pain inside.

With reckless abandonment, he swooped down and captured her lips, holding nothing back as his tongue filled her mouth, taking immediate advantage of her gaped lips to dip inside, taste her softness, ease his desire.




 

 

The flames of his desire stoked out of control, soon reaching the point of no return. His right hand gripped the back of her head, holding her tightly against him, though she gave no effort of struggling, nor a sign of even wanting to.

His other hand moved from the couch, wrapping around her hip, his fingers caressing the tight plumpness of her curvy ass, pulling her tighter against his throbbing erection, making his intentions extremely clear.

Her hands were wrapped around his shoulders, tugging him closer to her, her mouth opened wide, inviting him inside. His movements became frantic as his need for her couldn't get any greater. He couldn't wait. He needed to bury himself within her. Even though he'd already taken her only a few hours earlier, he'd dreamed of her for two weeks, his body aching, day and night. Sierra's responses mirrored his insatiable hunger.
