She leaned down, and with her lips brushing his ear, she whispered, “Come with me, my Master.”
And when he slammed into her one last time, his body tensing, his cock pulsing deep inside her, she shattered, her orgasm crashing over her in waves of white-hot pleasure as her vision momentarily went black as she cried out his name when his hot ejaculate filled her for the very first time.
Rex collapsed back in his chair, his breath coming in ragged gasps.Xia crumbled against him with her heart pounding in rhythm with his.For a long moment, neither of them moved.
The air between them was thick with the scent of sex and sweat, and the heat that lingered long after the fire had burned itself out.Xia’s skin was still flushed, her breath coming in slow, satisfied pulls as she traced idle patterns on Rex’s chest.Her fingers danced over the ridges of his muscles like she was memorizing the map of him.
Rex exhaled.It was a rough, uneven sound as his fingers tightened in her hair before he forced himself to lift his head.His eyes were dark and intense, still half-lost in the haze of shared pleasure.They searched hers like he was afraid she might vanish if he blinked.
“You’re,” he panted, his voice gravel and sinful, “going to be the death of me.”
Xia laughed, for the first time in many months, the sound was light and bright, tingling around them with the joy bursting inside her.She leaned down and kissed him softly, teasingly, a caress full of promises.
“Good.”She pulled back just enough to grin at him, her eyes sparking with mischief.“Because, since this is the first time we’ve had sex without a condom...”She trailed off as her fingers drifted down to press against his stomach.Her voice dropped to a whisper.“And I have to tell you, feeling that hot spurt that’s all you, is freaking fantastic.”She frowned.“Where was I?Oh, yes...no condom, so, you’re stuck with me.”
Rex went still.His brow furrowed as his grip on her tightened just a fraction.“Meaning?”
She shrugged, the movement deliberately nonchalant, like she wasn’t dropping a bomb in the middle of his carefully constructed world.
“I might be pregnant.”She paused, letting the words hang in the air before adding, “And since I’m not about to raise a child alone, and I firmly believe every kid deserves two parents who actually give a damn...”She smirked, her fingers tapping against his chest.“Congratulations, Mr.Oliver.You’re officially trapped.”
Rex’s expression didn’t change.Not at first.Then—slowly, like a storm gathering on the horizon—his face darkened.
“Xia.”His voice was low and dangerous.A tone that usually made people back the hell up.“What about Hawaii?Your job?”
She rolled her eyes, pushing herself up with a dramatic sigh.Her body was gloriously, unapologetically naked as she sauntered over to his desk.She plucked a wipe from the container, cleaning herself with the kind of ease that suggested she was completely unbothered by the fact that she was standing in the middle of his office, bare as the day she was born.
“Why are you so fixated on Hawaii?”she asked, tossing the wipe into the trash before turning back to him, her hips swaying as she leaned against the desk.She crossed her arms, which only served to push her breasts up, and Rex’s eyes flickered—just for a second—before he forced them back to her face.
“That job would make your career,” he said, his voice tight.“Axel is one of the best employers in the industry.He already told you he saw you as CEO material.”
Xia snorted, pushing off the desk and strolling back toward him, her heels muted on the thick carpet.She stopped just in front of him.Her fingers trailed down his chest before she leaned in to brush her lips over his ear.
“I do hope to get there one day,” she murmured.“But right now?I’m concentrating on getting the New Orleans Aloha Resort Casino off the ground and marketing the living shit out of it.”
Rex’s jaw clenched.“You’re...you haven’t walked away from the job?”
“Of course, I didn’t.”She pulled back, her eyes gleaming.“But I did have a very enlightening conversation with Axel.”
Rex went very, very still.“What conversation?”
She smiled in that slow and wicked way that seemed to fascinate the hell out of him.
“I told him that since he appointed me, it was because I was the best person for the job—not because I needed a babysitter.”She tilted her head.Her voice dropped to a purr.“I also made it very clear that if he forced me to choose between the job and the man I love...”She paused, her smile turning razor sharp.“He’d better start looking for a replacement.”
Rex’s breath hitched.His eyes darkened, and his hands flexed on his lap like he wasn’t sure whether to pull her closer or shake some sense into her.
“Xia.”
She ignored the warning in his voice, stepping back and striking a pose—one leg slightly bent, her hand on her hip, her body arched just enough to make sure he couldn’t look away.
“Men can be so dumb sometimes.”Her voice was light and teasing, but her eyes were serious.“And the cleverer they are, the dumber they get when it comes to matters of the heart.”
Rex didn’t move.Didn’t breathe.
Xia softened, her smile fading into something warmer and deeper.She stepped closer and traced the rigid line of his jaw with one finger.
“I started falling in love with you the first day I walked into this office,” she whispered.“And by the time that plane touched down in New Orleans after the cage scene, I was in love with you.Fully and completely yours.”Her voice cracked—just a little—but she didn’t look away.“You’re in my heart, Rex.With every beat.With every breath.”She swallowed.Her eyes glimmered.“I don’t want a life without you in it.I can’t even imagine one.”She paused, her lips curving into a smile that was soft, sure, and completely unshakable.“I am yours.In every way you need me.In every way you want me.”She leaned in, her lips brushing his.“Ifyou want me.”
