“So, do that then.”
“Go,” I growled.
She hesitated. “If that’s what you really want, Archer.”
She set one foot on the floor. The distance gutted me like she’d stepped one thousand miles away.
“No…” I caught her wrist and pulled her back—straight into my arms. My pulse pounded, cock hard enough to break zoning laws. I cupped her chin, brushed powdered sugar from her lip. “Fuck me, Penny, you’re a beautiful temptation.”
I crushed her mouth with mine. My heart vaulted. The first sweep of our tongues derailed my brain. By the second, our fate was sealed. Every rule I’d written collapsed, one sugared kiss at a time.
HEAT AND HESITATION
Archer
Archer Bellamy: Fuck being CEO for at least an hour, maybe two
Bank Account: I don’t even know anymore.
Heart: My cock is doing all the thinking…
The last wallof restraint I’d been clinging to finally cracked. The taste of sugar on Penny’s tongue, the slide of her body against mine, the moan she made when I fisted her hair—those became my foundation, an entire base to build from.
A pinprick of regret tried to break through, but desire bulldozed it.
“We shouldn’t do this,” I muttered against her throat, the words stripped of conviction. I pursued her neck, urgent and breathless, without a shred of sanity left.
On the edge of the bed, she straddled me and tore at the buttons of my shirt, getting it halfway down my arms.
“You’re so right. But I can’t stop thinking about you, Arch.” Her fingertips fluttered down my pecs and abs. “And I definitely shouldn’t do this.”
She pushed me back, my shirt under me, trapping my arms—the perfect hostage. No complaints from me as her mouth trailed down my chest, across my abs, every kiss another temptation the farther south she went. I lifted my head and watched through half-lidded eyes while she lingered below my navel at my happy trail.
“You undo my belt and there’s no going back,” I warned.
“Promise?” Her bratty eyes locked with mine, an eyebrow quirked. “Maybe we need to get it out of our systems.”
“What are you proposing? One time now…?”
“Exactly. Enough to last us for now. I’ll accelerate my plan to look for another job where it won’t matter who I’m fucking.”
She turned logic into dust with one sensual look. I swallowed, sweating the idea of not seeing her in my office every single day. Yet, the thought of being the CEO who broke the rules didn’t suit either.
“I have a better solution. You’re fired—for the next few hours while we fuck it out of our systems.” A sound plan. Reasonable arguments if ever brought up in court. At least that’s what the sex-starved part of my brain thought. “Hired again the minute we step foot into the ski lodge.”
“Works for me,” she grinned, reaching for my belt. “I’ve never been fired before. I don’t think I’ll regret anything I did to get terminated.”
“Enjoy it while it lasts.”
Metal clinked, leather hissed free. She bit her lip, unbuttoning and unzipping me, ultimately unleashing my manhood. I came out large and hard, ready to celebrate the end of a very long drought.
Her eyes widened, a sharp inhale cutting the air. “Oh, my. You’re beautiful, Archer.”
“He’s showing off for you.” My glorious cock twitched eagerly toward her mouth like the first steel beam on a new high-rise, ready to be screwed in place.
With a flick of her tongue, she tasted the pre-cum at the tip, adding swirls around my head. She massaged one hand low on my velvety balls. The other glided up my shaft, and I bit my lip. The urge to finish before we’d barely begun was too much.
“Fuck, Penny.” My teeth clenched.
