That seemed a little harsh, but again, it was easy for him to carry on. Lance was upfront about the things he wanted. He liked structure—control, more importantly, his controlling things. She supposed he didn’t want to waste time dealing with drama because there was always someone else taking that empty spot. It also made sense why none of his relationships got really serious.
Their meal came at that time.
“She’s still beautiful,” she mumbled before taking the first bite.
“We’ll talk about this later—in bed,” he added huskily, yet softly so no one else could hear.

Lance didn’t even wait for the elevator door to close before he pushed her back against the wall and kissed her passionately. His hands moved over the warm flesh of her thighs and up under the skirt of her dress. He cupped her bottom and effortlessly, and quickly, lifted her on his hips. She gasped against his mouth at the sudden movement. He pressed himself between her thighs all the while taking her mouth with unleashed passion. She groaned and wrapped her legs around him. For some reason it hadn’t even occurred to her that someone could walk in at that moment.
Tammy was mindless. He had said he was aggressive, and from what she was experiencing, he wasn’t holding back anymore. Her fingers twisted in his hair.
When the doors opened to his penthouse, he pulled her away from the wall, turned and walked down the hall to his room without letting her go. He pushed her up against the door to his bedroom and she heard the distinct sound of the doorknob turning, then it swung open. He kicked it shut behind him, walked over to the bed and laid her on it. Then he stood up.
She reached for him and he shook his head as he started to unbutton his shirt. His eyes were smoldering as he looked down at her. She licked her lips and raised herself up on her elbows to watch him.
He stripped off his shirt tossing it to the floor. Then he held a finger to his masculine mouth before he turned away.
She watched him not understanding what he was doing. He went down the hall to his dressing room, then emerged a few minutes later with one of his ties.
She tilted her head at him. He just smiled as he kicked off his shoes and came up behind her on the bed.
“Just a little something to heighten your pleasure,” he murmured as he covered her eyes with the wide base of the material, tying it behind her head.
She smiled. My pleasure? A thrill shot through her.
Then he bent down and kissed her again, holding her head firmly.
His mouth was hard, warm and sensual. He was right; she could notice more this way. His masculine scent was divine! The way he even breathed was enough to get her aroused. It was heavy, sexual.
Then he was gone, and she could hear the rustle of material, like he was finishing striping off his clothes
“Oh Lance, I hate missing this part.”
Her answer was a soft chuckle.
Then she felt the bed shift as he moved beside her again. “Sit up.”
She did as he asked and he lifted her dress over her head. Her bra was next. She felt completely exposed because she couldn’t see his reaction. He obviously sensed her insecurity from what he said next.
“In a moment you won’t care.”
She felt herself smile again. That deep timbre he possessed seemed to dismiss the nervousness in an instant. Then she felt the bed shift again as he got off it. What was he doing?
Strong hands circled her ankles and then slowly moved up the length of her legs.
“Tam, you’re legs are incredible. Having these wrapped around me while I’m inside you, is hot as hell.”
She sighed as his strong hands continued to caress the flesh of her legs and she was certain she could feel him smile.
Further up, his hands went until she felt his fingers around the waistband of her panties.
“Lift your hips love.”
She did and he slid the delicate material off of her slowly.
Then his hands moved up her legs again, over her abdomen.
