I…
Holy crap!
He’s a damned good kisser, too, once I stifle my natural instinct to pull away out of shock.
I taste hints of bourbon on his lips, like maybe he had a shot for courage shortly before I arrived. Not like he drank a whole glass of it. His weight presses my messenger bag against my stomach and I’m not exactly sure what the hell I’m supposed to do with my hands when the vice president of the United States is kissing me.
I finally settle for grabbing his tight ass and holding on as he pins me in place with his larger body. For a moment, my mind drifts away, and I don’t think about the countless tears I’ve shed at night while missing Leo, or my lonely, empty bed in my lonely, empty apartment, or the self-recriminations I hammer myself with for walking away from the love of my life.
Or my jealousy over Elliot getting to have Leo all to himself since I bowed out.
My cock throbs and I totally embarrass myself when a soft moan escapes me.
“Thisis condition one,” he whispers. “It’s all three of us—onlythe three of us—or none of us. Condition two is youhaveto work for me for my entire presidency, if I win.Bothterms.”
I stare into his blue eyes as I try to processthat.Eightyears, if he’s re-elected? Nearly ten in total, if I’m starting now? “Wh-what?”
He grabs my messenger bag, pulls it off me, and sets it aside. Then he slides onto the floor in front of me and shoves my thighs apart. Hunger burns in his gaze and I’m too shocked to resist when he starts working on my belt and slacks.
“You heard me,Sir.”
Yeah, I hear the capitalS, too.
I blink, stunned, staring down at him as the full implication of what he’s asking slams home and renders me completely speechless.
Determination burns in his blue eyes, turning them nearly midnight-dark in this light. “Leo might have loved me first but losing you has destroyed his heart. It’s my fault. I can’t stand seeing him hurting like this. I love him, and you love him. Why can’t we make this work? He’s right that Kev, Shea, and Chris have.” He fishes my cock out of my briefs and goes down on me.
Fuuuuu… I close my eyes and throw my head back against the sofa. My hands naturally settle on top of his head, my fingers threading through his hair.
Then one of his hands closes over mine and he pushes down against his skull, the meaning clear.
I lift my head and open my eyes to see him staring up at me, and Iknow.
I canseethe path all laid out ahead of me—everything.
I can see myself working in the shadows and basically controlling the most powerful man on the planet as he goes about his day, even closer to him than whoever ends up being his chief of staff. Hell, I’m not evenoldenough to be elected POTUS, but I’ll have the man’s ear and a guiding, steadying hand on his shoulder.
Literally.
So, what do I do?
What the hell do youthinkI do?
I grab his head in my hands the way Leo’s grabbed me I don’t know how many times—the way I’ve seen him grab Elliot—and I take over. Other than the few times the three of us were together, I haven’t been with anyone except Leo. And even then, technically, I was only with Leo, because Elliot and I had little direct intimate contact with each other.
Elliot slides his hands around me, behind my hips and holding on, and I feel something inside my soul catch.
I’m no Dom or Master.
But I’m also no idiot.
My fingers massage his scalp as he works my cock over with a hot, talented mouth that is every bit as good as Leo’s.
He lifts his head from my cock. “Please, Sir?” he begs. “We go wheels-up at midnight. Pack as much as you can and return to Washington with me. I’ll even pay to have your stuff moved. You’ll live with me in the residence. Now, and if I’m elected POTUS. Ineedsomeone living and working beside me who I can trust. Shae needs Leo until the end of her term. IknowI can trust you, because Leo trusts you. You could’ve burned me after you left, and I honestly wouldn’t have blamed you for it. But you didn’t. Iwantthis.Please, Sir?”
I nod, because I’m not capable of speech right now.
Triumph narrows his gaze as he goes down on me again. Part of me wonders if I should pump the brakes and have an actualdiscussionwith him.
