They collide with obsidian fire.
Behind Noah, at the ritzy bar situated in the middle of the restaurant, is Kaiden. The five people he’s talking to have an air of importance. I think I recognize one of them from the news, he’s a senator or something. Kaiden’s not paying much attention, though, because even from here, I can feel the fury radiating from him like plumes of fog from dry ice. The lights above us flicker for a few seconds as he white-knuckles his glass. No one else seems to notice, though.
He looks devastatingly beautiful in a black suit. Deadly so. Like a sharp blade honed to perfection. I know I should look away, but I can’t. The attractive, long-legged blond next to him throws her head back and laughs exaggeratedly before she paws at his chest as though he just said the funniest thing in the world.
I see red. Before I realize what I’m doing, I’m already standing. Noah throws me a concerned look.
“I’ll be back in a few minutes,” I mumble while forcing my fisted fingers to relax enough so I can grab my clutch. “I need to…powder my nose.”
Spine rod straight, I weave through tables and waiters who resemble busy bees until I reach the hallway where the bathrooms are located. I need a few moments to compose myselfin private. Luckily, the bathroom is empty. Locking the door, I step up to the sink. I have the urge to splash cold water on my face, but I will surely ruin the beautiful makeup Sam did. So, I settle on washing my hands instead, hoping it will help douse some of the inferno blazing through me.
Then my eyes clash with Kaiden’s in the mirror’s reflection. My heart slams to a stop, and a sharp curse leaves me. He’s livid. If I thought his fury was palpable before, now I’m choking on it in the confined space as if it’s the mushroom cloud forming in the wake of an atomic bomb explosion.
I spin on my heel. “Kaiden, wh—”
“Tell me to leave,” he says in a deep, gravely voice as if it was dragged through shards of glass.
Dumbstruck, I stare back. I should say something, right? Then why can’t I move my lips?
“Tell me to leave, Iris. Because if you don’t, I’m going to fuck you so hard you’re going to forget your name and that you’re here withhimon my restaurant’s opening night. You should be on my arm. Not his,” he seethes, gold and crimson dancing dangerously in the obsidian void.
My throat rolls on a hard swallow. I open my mouth. However, nothing comes out. His crude words have already ignited my blood to the point of insanity. It only took him a few seconds to render my panties useless, and he’s not even touching me.
His ravenous gaze drops to my diamond-hard nipples. I’m not wearing a bra because of the dress’s open back, so he can see the evidence of my arousal. His nostrils flare. “What’s your safe word?”
“Cherries,” I squeak.
“If you want me to stop, say it, and I will.” That’s the only warning I get before I’m twirled around and bent over the counter. There’s a metalclangas he slides off his belt. At first, I think he’s going to use it like in his office at Sin, but am surprisedwhen he brings my hands together at my back and tightens the leather around my wrists. He doesn’t stop there; he takes off his tie to gag me. “That’s only because I know you can’t be silent. You’re killing me. Looking like my wet dream come to life in this dress. Since the moment you walked in, all eyes were on you. And I’ve never before wanted to kill so many people at once for daring to glance at what’smine.”
Kaiden pushes up my dress, bunching it around my hips before he kneels to inhale my pussy from behind. “Fuck, you smell divine.” My hips buck the moment his fingers graze my clit as he moves my panties to the side. “Look at you. Your pretty pussy is drenched. Weeping for my cock.” A strangled whimper tumbles free when he flattens his tongue and licks me from clit to back hole.
He hums deep in his throat, the vibration against my heated flesh making me moan, which comes out muffled because of the silky tie. “Nothing compares to your taste.” I watch him through the mirror as he stands. There’s a crazy glint in his eyes. In the next second, he rips my panties clean off my body. He brings the lacy scrap of fabric to his nose and breathes it in before shoving it into his pocket.
The wicked grin he gives me makes me melt straight into a puddle. It dies in the next second, though. His eyes turn all hail and thunder as he rasps, “Now, Iris, I’m going to remind you what happens when you make me so mad the heat of a thousand suns blisters my skin. You can’t possibly fathom what I felt when I saw you walk in at the side of another man. You ripped me to shreds.”
His palm comes crashing down in rapid-fire succession on my right ass cheek. The pain makes me see stars. But it’s oh so, so deliciously good. Every single slap is a bolt of lightning going straight to my clit. He switches to the other ass cheek, using the same punishing blows.
Smack!
Smack!
Smack!
“Open your eyes,” he commands. I do. “Watch us. I want you to see my cock stretch that perfect pussy.”
I flick my gaze to the full-length gilded mirror to my right. I was so lost in the delicious agony as he spanked me I didn’t even realize he’d taken out his hard-as-steel cock. He wraps my ponytail around his fist, pulling on it as he slams into me to the hilt—skin on skin. My lungs freeze, and my eyes well up because I’m still too tight to take him. However, I’m wet enough, and the sting only makes it better.
He lets out a hiss as he allows me a few seconds to adjust to his size. “So tight. So goddamn perfect. So. Fucking. Mine,” he growls. He starts nailing me to the counter like a man possessed. Our reflections are lost in carnal urgency. I can’t stop staring at Kaiden—lips parted, pupils blown, and eyes glazed over in bliss.
The orgasm takes me by surprise. It slams into me like an avalanche. My pussy spasms around his length, and Kaiden lets out a sharp curse as he slows his rhythm. It’s a good thing he gagged me because otherwise, every single patron in the restaurant would know what’s happening inside this bathroom.
I’m floating somewhere on cloud nine when I’m rudely interrupted by Kaiden, who slides a hand beneath me to lift my torso. A muffled sound of irritation leaves me, which makes him chuckle. “I’m not done with you, angel,” he says in the shell of my ear as he glues my back to his front before lifting my right foot on the counter. “Eyes on the mirror.”
A hand wraps around my throat while the other finds my clit to stroke it. Then he enters me again, but this time it’s slow. Agonizingly so. Inch by inch. Holy fuck! From this angle, I can feel himeverywhere. It’s so deep. When he pumps his hips, my eyes roll into the back of my head at the way his piercing hits myG-spot. Using his thumb, Kaiden angles my jaw before sliding the tie down.
He swallows my cries by slanting his lips over mine. There’s a stark contrast between his kisses—languid, sensual, consuming—and the way he wages war on my body with his cock.
A loud knock slices through the air. “Iris?” It’s Noah. “Are you okay? You’ve been in there for a long time.”
