I take the glass from her and then tug her hand until she slides off the stool and is standing between my legs. I lift my hand and place it against her cheek. She has the most perfect jawline and the most kissable lips. Lips that are slicked with a wicked red lipstick that I want to remove with my tongue.
“I’m not going home with you,” she tells me. “We’ve done this song and dance, and I think it’s time to end it.”
“But I’m just getting started.” I caress my hand along her jaw, and without even realizing she’s doing it, she leans into my touch.
“No, you aren’t,” she argues, but I can hear her wavering.
Moving in closer, I touch my lips to hers. “If you come home with me, I’ll give you your toy back.”
Her eyes, which were falling closed, spring open. “You shouldn’t have taken it in the first place,” she snaps.
“I wanted a way to guarantee that you would use me again.”And, fuck, do I want her to use me again.
“How do you know I was using you?”
My hand slides into her hair, and I lean back, bringing her with me. “Because it’s the same way I’m using you. No strings, right?”
“Fucking my boss. How comical,” she scoffs, but her eyes are on my lips. “Fine. I guess you can take me back to your place.” She rests her hand on my chest as she whispers into my ear, “Maybe you’ll spank me so hard this time that I’ll have trouble sitting.”
I knew she loved it.
“Maybe I’ll get you to crawl to me.”
“It depends…” She pauses, eyeing me. “What am I crawling for?”
“My cock.”
“As long as you crawl for me in return.”
“I don’t crawl for anyone or anything,” I state.
“If you want me, youwillcrawl.”
I want her.
Badly.
But crawling for a woman doesn’t sound like me.
However…
“Let’s go,” I blurt.
“Your driver left.”
“I already have another waiting,” I tell her as I get to my feet and pull her toward the exit. She follows not just because I have a hold of her, but because she knows what is about to come.
Us.
We’ll both be coming tonight.
