“So I’m thinking I’ll take Dirk out in the two-seater again, and once he pisses all over himself, he’ll realize he better treat you better.”
She laughed. Actually, she snorted and then smiled.
“And we’ll make sure you’re listening in, ’cause I know I can make him scream like a little girl again if I get close to the wall.” He noticed some of the tension in her shoulders disappear.
“Can we videotape it and put it on YouTube?”
Craig laughed loudly, which caused Lindsey to laugh as well. “You, Lindsey, have a vindictive side.”
“You’re just now realizing this?” She smiled and grabbed a loaded chip. “It’s the quiet ones you’ve got to watch out for, you know.”
With a shake of his head, he reached for his glass and took a drink. “I’m starting to see that. Actually, I’m familiar with this side of you.” He raised his brow. “I seem to remember a threat about tampons and Viagra.”
Lindsey blushed. “On that note, I think I better go to the little girls’ room.”
Craig watched her stand, but when she wobbled and grabbed the table for support, he was quickly on his feet, by her side, supporting her.
“Woo, didn’t think the room would spin that fast,” she joked.
“I think maybe it’s time to call it a night and get you to your room.”
Nodding, she let go of the table and stood on her own. “I’m good…I think.”
“Are you sure? Because I’d rather be putting you in bed than picking you up off the floor.” He raised his brows up and down playfully at her.
“I think I can get to bed fine on my own. I’ll be right back.”
Craig watched her head to the bathroom and laughed at her unsteadiness. He then motioned for the waitress, paid the bill, and waited outside the bathroom for Lindsey.
Chapter 10
Lindsey opened the bathroom door and was surprised to see Craig standing outside. He was leaning against the wall in his faded jeans, and his T-shirt was hugging his taut body, but it was the amused look in his eyes and his smile that caused her stomach to flutter.
“I took care of the bill.”
“Thanks.” She stepped next to him and the two headed for the elevator. “So why are you being so nice to me tonight?”
“I’m always nice to you.” He grinned.
She started to laugh, remembering how difficult he’d been when they first met.
“Okay, maybe not at first.” He pushed the button for the elevator. “But you’ve grown on me.”
She eyed him curiously, wondering what he was really thinking.
“Maybe I want to see your room.”
She laughed as the elevator doors opened. “Really? That’s the line you want to go with? You want to see my room?”
He turned and looked at her with such intensity she felt she would implode at any second. “Yeah. I want to see
your
room. Now, get in.”
His hand pressed on her lower back, gently ushering her in. When the door closed, she leaned against the back wall and closed her eyes as the elevator rose, making her dizzy. Or maybe it was her thoughts that were making dizzy. The thought of his hard body standing next to her, knowing his eyes were on her.
“You’re not gonna get sick are you?”
Turning her head, she was looking right at him when she opened her eyes. Taking in his intense blue eyes, her gaze slipped down to his lips. Lips she remembered were soft to the touch but left her wondering what else they could do to her. Her gaze unwavering, she licked her lips.
“Lindsey?”
“I’m good.” She turned away before she found herself leaning into him. When the door opened, they walked into the hall, and Lindsey pointed to the right. Craig took her keycard and opened the door, following her inside.
“So, this is my room.” She spun around slowly then grabbed her head as the dizzying effects of the alcohol came rushing back to her. “Oops, shouldn’t have done that.” Blinking her eyes a few times, she looked back at the hot man standing in front of her. “So, as you can see, my room has all the necessities. A bathroom, bed…”
His grin widened, and heat flooded her pussy.
“You really need to stop looking at me like that.” She cocked her head to the side.
He slipped his thumbs into his front pockets, still grinning. “Like what?”
Another wave of heat ran through her body. She stepped away from him, which only made him step closer. “Wha…what are you doing?” His blue eyes were so intense that they seemed to burn a hole right through her.
“I’m not doing anything.” He acted so innocent it actually turned her on more.
“Oh, yes, you are.” She waved her finger in the air at him. “You keep looking at me like that.”
“Like what?”
“Like…like you want to tie me up and have your merry way with me.”
He laughed, never allowing his gaze to leave hers.
“You keep flirting with me, making comments, acting like you care about…”
He stepped closer, and her throat went dry. Stepping back again, she hit the wall behind her. Closing her eyes, she let out a long breath, knowing she couldn’t escape and not sure she wanted to. When she opened her eyes, he was right in front of her. “You look at me like that, and I think you…” She looked up nervously.
“You think what?”
“Nothing.” She tried to move away, but he blocked her exit. “Look, I’m not good at playing games.” She hated the desperate tone in her voice. “And you should probably go before I say anything else that costs me my dignity, or even worse, my job.”
He was now toe-to-toe with her, and he placed his hands against the wall on both sides of her. Leaning in, he whispered in her ear. “I don’t play games, though the idea of tying you up and having my merry with you is intriguing, and, for legal purposes, this has nothing to do with your job.”
Goose bumps covered her skin at the feel of his hot breath. He lifted his right hand and ran it along her jaw and down her throat. “I just need to know one thing from you, Lindsey.”
“Wha—” She cleared her throat, unable to find her voice. “What’s that?” Her entire body was humming with nervous anticipation.
“When I kissed you in Dover, did you feel it as much as I did?” His thumb moved softly over her lower lip while he waited for her answer.
In a breathy voice that was barely a whisper, she replied, “Yes.”
The smile he had been wearing disappeared as he leaned in and kissed her. Unlike the time in the elevator, this kiss caused her bones to melt when his hand moved behind her head. When his tongue began to move inside her mouth, she thought she’d have an orgasm right on the spot.
Without even realizing it, her hands had moved up to his chest and fisted in his shirt. By the time he pulled away, they were both panting like idiots.
Craig pressed his body into her so close she could feel his heart beat. He placed open-mouth kisses behind her ear, down her neck, and nipped at her collar bone. His tongue laved over the spot, and when he looked up at her, she was biting her lower lip.
“Should I stop?”
Locking eyes with him, she arched her body further into his. “I’m not sure you can, based on this.” Her hand slipped between their bodies, brushing against his erection.
Hissing out a breath, he narrowed his gaze upon her. “I forgot you play dirty.”
Before she could say or do anything, he captured her mouth again. He thrust his muscular thigh between her legs. His hands slid down her sides, brushing against her breasts, flowing over her hips before cupping her ass. He began to lift her khaki skirt up inch by inch. While her tongue dueled with his in a kiss that was so hot she thought she might combust, his finger slipped under her silk panties.
“I can play dirty, too,” he said in a low, husky tone as his finger brushed over her clit, causing her entire body to shudder.
When her hands began playing with the button on his jeans, he grabbed her wrist and lifted them above her head, where his left hand held them in place while his right hand went back to torturing her. She closed her eyes as he kissed her again deeply. His finger continued to stroke her slowly, but as he added more pressure, she rocked her hips to him. Still holding her hands above her head, he began to finger-fuck her.
Opening her eyes, she met his gaze. Her insides ached for more. As he took her closer to the edge, her panting increased. “Yes, yes. Please don’t stop.”
With a smug smile on his face, he stroked her just two more times and watched as she came in his hand. Her body quivering, Lindsey allowed her head to fall forward to his shoulder while he held her tightly in his arms.
Lifting her head from his shoulder, Lindsey was already a tangled mess of emotions. She’d been confused about her feelings for Craig, but when he’d shown he cared about her—something no one had done for such a long time—she fell hard for him. Exploding in the first man-made orgasm she had in years, she wanted more.
“This look…” His finger caressed her cheek. “Is so much better on you.”
She took in a relaxed breath, his clean, musky scent, filling her senses. As much as she wanted to say how bad of an idea this was, she couldn’t. She wanted more. She wanted him inside her. She wanted…
him
.
“I’m not sure if I should thank you or repay you.”
He let out a breathy laugh and leaned in and kissed behind her ear. “Maybe you better wait until I’m finished with you before you thank me.”
Lindsey let out an uneven breath, felt her bones melt and her body tingle with anticipation.
* * * *
Craig couldn’t get enough of Lindsey. He wasn’t sure when he’d lost control of his senses, but all he could think about was getting Lindsey pinned to the mattress beneath his body.
Holding her face in his hands, he kissed her until he felt her begin to let go. He nipped at her lower lip and ran his tongue over the swollen skin. “I want you, Lindsey.” He kissed her again. “I’ve wanted you for a very long time.” His lips moved across her jaw and down her neck. He heard her breath catch, and he grinned. “I plan on making you scream like you did when I drove you around the track. Thrusting inside your pussy until you cry out my name.”
Lindsey moaned. “Craig…”
“Just like that, only
much
louder.”
Devouring her with a searing kiss, he savored the feel of her arms snaking around his neck. He pulled her tight to his body and moved them toward the bed, his hands pushing down her skirt as he tried to unhook the back and send it to the floor.
Lindsey tugged on his shirt. Pulling his lips away, Craig gasped for breath. Her eyes filled with desire as he pulled his shirt up over his head and tossed it to the side. Her hands moved across his shoulders and down his chest. She was taking in every inch of him, and he loved the heated look in her eyes and the fiery blaze from her fingertips on his skin.
Bending forward, he kissed behind her ear. Her lips warmed his bare shoulders. When her teeth nipped at his skin, he groaned. “Damn, Lindsey.”
His hands were on her hips, moving under her shirt, skimming the soft skin underneath. His eyes locked on hers as he slowly lifted her shirt, unveiling her beautiful body and pink lace bra. Her hair fell freely to the side of her head, and he dropped her shirt to the floor, groaning again.
“I think we better take care of this.” Her hand was pressing against his cock that was straining his jeans.
Closing his eyes, his head rolled back as she freed him from his jeans. She placed open-mouth kisses on his shoulder, across his chest, and down his stomach. She licked his hip as her finger hooked his knit boxers and pulled them to the ground, leaving her eye level with his cock.
Looking down, he watched as she brushed her lips across the sensitive tip. When her tongue twirled around it like a lollipop, he thought his legs might give out on him. Fisting his hands in her hair, he pulled her upright and kissed her with a desperate hunger while her hand wrapped around him and began to stroke.
Craig nudged her onto the bed and covered her body with his. He pulled down her lace bra, ran his tongue over the puckered nipple, and sucked it into his mouth when she arched her body to him and moaned. While her hands moved over his back, he moved his attention to her other beast. His hand drifted between their bodies and began stroking between her legs.
