She nodded jerkily.
“You mean to tell me you haven’t eaten anything?”His expression grew darker.
She nodded hesitantly and kept her eyes focused behind him.
He was stunned and infuriated.Disbelief was written on his face.“You haven’t eaten a meal in five days?”How the hell is she standing here?
A shiver of apprehension ran down her back.Her head dipped slightly.
“I did get a few crackers down today.”
Grant pulled her into his arms.Dammit.She’d taken the separation harder than he would have guessed.Although he had to admit, he didn’t know if he would have handled the heartbreak better if he hadn’t had the huge advantage of knowing it would only be a matter of time before he came for her, something she hadn’t known.He’d warned her several times that she was his, and she’d promised him forever.He was going to make sure she kept her promise.
His hands roamed over her, cataloging the changes she’d involuntarily made to her body.Her skin was pale, but he thought a few good meals and rest would take care of that.The protruding bones of her ribs and clavicle would take longer to fix.What she needed right now was food and then sleep.He lifted her with his hands around her tiny waist and turned to lay her across his desk.His hands slid up to cup her breasts as he placed himself between her thighs.
“Baby, I need to get you home and take care of you...”
She cried out, reached for him, rapidly shook her head, and opened her mouth to argue as tears started misting her eyes.
Grant held up a hand.“Wait ...but right now, we both need each other too much.I know we need to make love and strengthen the ties that have been strained.”
Relieved, she nodded and relaxed and lay open before him.“Grant, thank you.”She choked back a whimper.“I feel like I need you inside me more than I need my next breath.”
He opened his dress pants enough to pull his achingly hardened cock out.He slid a finger and then two into her tight cunt to make sure she was ready to take him and watched her expressions for any pain or discomfort.“Baby, I need you to hold onto the desk.I’m afraid this is going to be hard and fast.I’ve been too long without you.Don’t worry.I’ll make it good for you, too.”He waited until her hands were above her head to grip the edge of his desk, and he had a good grip on her hips before he pushed himself powerfully into her.When he was in, they both let out a deep, contented groan.He could feel most of the tension leave his body in a wave of relief.
He bent forward, placed his elbows on either side of her head, and speared his fingers into her thick, dark red mane as he pushed his tongue into her mouth for a quick, hard kiss.Everything about her drove him wild.Grant sucked one of her red, swollen nipples into his mouth, making her arch off the surface.
He pulled away and stood when the need to move became unbearable.He gripped her hips and withdrew before he drove into her.The feeling of her wet heat surrounding him just about threw him over, and he had to grit his teeth to keep his control.He set a fast rhythm, and his gaze stayed fixed on hers.
He would never get tired of looking at her.The softness of her skin felt like satin, and it was so smooth and creamy.“Keep your eyes open,” he demanded between clenched teeth when her lashes started to droop.
Jennifer’s eyes widened, and her breath hitched.
Grant didn’t pause.His gaze ran across her face before he leaned to kiss hers.The difference between the pounding force of his thrusts inside her and the gentle way he kissed her threw her over the edge.
Jennifer screamed, and her body bowed and shuddered as she came apart.He watched her as his own orgasm hit him.He only stopped thrusting when she lay lax against him, and her breasts rose as harsh breaths seesawed from her lungs.
Grant lowered himself until he was on top of her and used his arms to support most of his weight.His mouth pressed against her neck, and he gently licked before biting down.He locked eyes with hers.“I love you, Jennifer.”
He worried when Jennifer closed her eyes as a tear gently rolled down her cheek, but a bright smile crossed her face.
“I love you, too, Grant.More than I can ever express.”
He pushed himself up, smiled gently, and used his thumbs to wipe away the tears that fell.“Are you okay, baby?”
A smile crossed her exhausted face as she nodded.She weakly ran her hands up and down his sides and up to his shoulders.
“Let me see your beautiful eyes.”
Her eyes opened slowly and were instantly trapped by his.
His smile grew at the stark sparkle of happiness in her eyes.He bent his head and pressed his lips to hers, then twisted his head to take it deeper.After a minute, Grant stood and gently withdrew from her, took a step back, and adjusted his clothing before he pulled her up into a sitting position.
“Are you steady enough for me to get your clothes?”
Jennifer leaned back and rested her hands on the desk behind her.She watched as he bent to gather her clothes.He helped with her bra and shirt, then panties and jeans, spreading kisses every other second.He led her around his desk and sat her in his large leather chair.
“Sit here, baby.I need to grab my briefcase before we can head home.”
