Page 28 of Memories of You

She looked around, at the same time reaching her hand backand unzipping her dress. He practically swallowed his tongue when she let thedress fall to the ground, and his cock got ten times harder when he looked ather, completely naked except for her shoes, a garter belt, and silk stockings.

Around them, most everyone had turned to watch, and he sawmore than one guy’s hand go to his own cock, stroking as he eyed Renly’s girl.

He made a low noise in his throat. Not a growl, but prettydamn close.

She didn’t look around at all. Instead, with her chin high,she came to him, not saying a single word. Then she took his hand and placed itbetween her thighs, arching back as he stroked her slick pussy.

She continued, her eyes never leaving his as she climbedonto the sofa, put both hands on his shoulders, and straddled him. He was rockhard. Painfully hard. And as she squirmed over the tip of his cock it was awonder he didn’t lose it right then.

But then—oh, God, then—she took his cock all the way,started to rock…and proceeded to completely blow his fucking mind.

They didn’t say much on the ride back to her place, but asfar as Renly was concerned, the soft touches and heated looks said everything,and the moment they stepped over her threshold and shut the door, he pulled herto him.

The kiss was slow and lingering. Tender and intimate. Thedirect opposite of their wild passion in Masque, but so much more compelling.And when they broke apart, both breathing hard, he led her into the bedroom,then lost himself in her arms. The scent of her. The feel of her. And when theyboth exploded for the second time that night, she curled up beside him, herfingers tracing patterns on his bare chest.

“Thank you,” she whispered.

“What for?”

“For letting me go a little wild.”

He chuckled. “I like you wild.”

“And for telling me about your vertigo,” she added, meetinghis eyes. “For bringing me back into your life. I’ve missed you so much.”

He cupped her cheek. “Me, too. But I’m not going anywhere.”

“Dubai,” she said, and he nodded slowly.

“That’s not me leaving. That’s just me going to work.”

“And you’re here right now,” she said, rolling over so thathis arm was beneath her breasts and he was spooned against her.

“Yeah,” he whispered. “I’m right here.”

He held her close, then drifted off, and for the first timein a very long time, it felt as if every single thing was right with the world.

The next morning, they arrived ten minutes before Abby wassupposed to meet Darrin, but he was already standing in the elevator bay whenthey reached Abby’s office.

“Hey, Darrin,” she said to the dark-haired man. “This is myfriend Renly. We’ve got some plans for the rest of the day, so he’s going totake care of some phone calls and emails while we work.”

She unlocked the office door and led them all inside.

“No problem,” Darrin said, speaking to Abby and barelyacknowledging Renly. Either the guy was shy or an asshole. Right now he didn’tknow enough to make the call.

Once inside, Renly walked the perimeter of the office andchecked in all the individual areas. Better safe than sorry. Abby and Darrinsettled in the conference room, and Renly parked himself at the far end of thelong table, planning to check his emails while they worked.

He lifted his head before he dove in, catching Darrin’s eye.“I hope you don’t mind if I hang out here. I don’t know a damn thing about thetech world, and Abby said I could sit in and pretend to be fascinated.”

Darrin’s smile looked a little forced, but he said, “Sure.Don’t know if you’ll find it that fascinating, but I don’t have a problem withit.”

Renly gave him a thumbs up and then went back to his phone.He half-listened as Abby went through the various features of the software,pride building in him as he heard her competent voice and her cleanexplanations. She was able get to the heart of complex issues and answered allof Darrin’s questions in a way that anyone—even Renly, who knew next to nothingabout computers—could understand.

Soon enough, her voice became a pleasant background noise,and he deleted at least a hundred emails, mostly spam, that had built up in hisinbox.
