“What concerns?” I bite off.
I swear to fuck, if she’s having second thoughts—real ones—I’ll drop dead on the spot.
“What if someone saw us on the elevator? Or in this hallwa—”
“Private floor,” I growl back, cutting her off with a kiss.
She cups my face with her hands and sails back. “But the security footage... Someone could find out—”
“We’ll deal with it then,” I rush out.
And it’s my turn to bite her lips.
“Oh,” she whimpers, her eyes fluttering as they shine up at me. “But if we keep this up, people will notice. They’ll talk. They’ll think I’m the office slut and you only hired me because we’re—”
“Wrong. Anyone stupid enough to pull that shit is getting a private meeting with me and Legal. No one will ever fuck with you, Piper.”
She giggles.
I steal another kiss before I search her eyes for an answer.
She grins.
“It’s cute how you get so protective.” Her fingers move to the top button of my shirt, and she pops it out of the hole.
“Only because we’re done talking.” I reach down and pick her up, throwing her over my shoulder.
She squeals, laughing and throwing her arms around my neck.
“Hey!” she says. “Who said you get to carry me off like a war prize?”
I chuckle.
“I just don’t want to walk into a wall with you. My patience is gone, woman.” I shift her weight so I can wave the keycard in front of the door.
As soon as the door pops open I ease it apart wider with my foot.
I step inside, kick it shut, flip the lock, and press Piper’s back against the door, pinning her between my bulk and the door.
I’m moving in for another bruising kiss again when I catch her jade eyes dancing in the dim light.
I’m frozen. Goddamned mesmerized.
Lost in a moment that’s greener than Rainier Park in the summer.
She sucks in a breath so hard her chest swells. “Well? Don’t tell me you’re bored with kissing me?”
Snarling, I take her lip between mine, and I hold on until she whimpers.
Her legs wind around my waist.
What little sanity I have left shatters.
The way her body grinds against mine tells me she’s ready.
Warm and wet and greedy.
Fuck, she’s pressed so needy to my shaft it’s a struggle not to dry hump her and blow myself up instantly.
Even through the layers of clothes, I feel her heat.
“Look at me, Piper Renee,” I order, my eyes blazing into hers as my hips lunge forward, making her feel every seething inch of me.
Her lips pull into a breathless O.
Her legs tighten.
And her fingers dance down the neat row of buttons on my shirt, shaking as they go.
She pulls my shirt from my pants where it’s tucked in. I have to help her undo the buttons, always a frigging chore when you’re too riled up to breathe.
Once my shirt hangs open, she reaches in, sliding her hand down my bare chest.
I’m fucking electrified, breathing so hard, my heartbeat roaring in my ears.
“You’ll be the death of me, Sunshine,” I say, meeting her eyes again.
With her eyes closed, she traces a finger up and down my chest to my abs. “Or I could be your spark of life.”
I grind into her again. “In case you hadn’t noticed, you’ve got me very alive right now.”
Her head bangs the back of the door lightly from the force and I shift my body so I can cradle her head in my hands.
“Sorry,” I mutter, even if everything in me howls to break her.
She pushes my unbuttoned shirt over my shoulders and it hits the floor.
“Oops.” She grins. “Me too.”
Little minx.
And I drink her in as she tilts toward me.
Fuck, it’s impossible not to grab fistfuls of that dress and start shredding.
I don’t want to ruin a four-thousand-dollar dress, but I can’t wait with her warmth blanketing my entire being.
My hips slash against her again.
This time, I’m careful to cradle her head, buffering it from the impact with my hands.
She starts moving her hand to the straps of the dress and pulls the bow—until my wrist pushes her away.
“Let me,” I whisper, waiting for her hand to fall.
I’ve waited too damn long for this gift and I’m unwrapping what’s mine.
Her halter top falls forward, revealing two round, pert, suckable breasts behind a red bra. Each one’s covered in the middle with a rosy flower.
I move one hand, leaving the other cupped behind her head. I trace the flower outline with my finger, inhaling slowly.
“You know the whole innocent girl-next-door look makes this worse, right? It also doesn’t fool me worth shit.”
She turns a new shade of flaming red and laughs. “Um... I didn’t have a bra that worked under this getup.”
Slowly, I continue tracing a petal. “She loves me—” I pause and peel it back. “She loves me not.”
Her eyes sharpen, pure green hellfire engulfing my soul.
