"Do I even want to know how much it cost?"
"Probably not." I place my hand over top of hers. "It wasn't that much."
"How much?"
"A hundred."
She pinches her brows. "A hundred thousand?"
"Million."
Cora's eyes widen. "You spent ahundred milliondollars to fire my boss?"
I shrug. "It's not a big deal."
"Miller, that's fucking insane. What the hell were you thinking? You could have just contacted Mr. Wellerton and asked him to let him go."
I shake my head. "I had to be sure."
"What am I going to do with you?" she asks, her shoulders slumping with the breath she lets out.
"I'm sorry," I tell her again.
"Will you stop saying that?"
I boldly take my other hand and cup her cheek, running my thumb along her delicate skin. "I keep failing you, and I'm sorry. You have no idea how much you mean to me. I'd give all the money in the world to keep you safe. It pains me to know you don't trust me. I'd give anything for your trust. Anything, Cora, just name it."
Cora leans into my touch and closes her eyes briefly. "It had nothing to do with trust, Miller. I promise." She pauses and adds, "I do trust you. I always have."
Then, she does something completely unexpected, she stands on her tiptoes and gently kisses my lips.
I kiss her back, soft at first, but melt into her embrace, my hands roaming her body as my tongue dances with hers.
She continues to take me by surprise and runs her hand between us to grip my cock through my pants, stroking my length.
"Cora," I pant. "You're hurt."
"I don't care." She unbuttons my trousers and yanks them down. Cora kisses me deeply before breaking away and turning around, unzipping her own pants and dragging them over her ass. She backs up into me and looks at me in the mirror above Silver's dresser. "Hurry up, I don't want to keep them waiting."
And because I lack complete and utter self-control, I slide my cock along her entrance and shove it in her.
I bite down a moan and reach around her to find her clit with one hand and her breast with another. I massage both areas and fuck her from behind, my dick buried inside of her.
Cora braces herself on the dresser and forces herself onto me, her tight pussy slick. "You feel so good."
I apply pressure to her clit and rock it back and forth between my fingers as it throbs against me.
My cock swells as I feel her pussy contract.
"Goddamn baby girl," I mutter while grabbing a fistful of her hair and tugging her toward me.
She turns her face to the side and my lips find hers, our tongues frantic to reunite. "Harder," she moans.
I slam into her and groan into her mouth, my climax spilling over into her.
Cora whimpers and bucks her hips as her orgasm rattles her body.
We both slow down and kiss the rest of the way through the wave of pleasure.
