KATEAbandoning the ice, he follows the same path, licking the wet skin, focusing on my breasts. It stirs an urgent desire between my legs, almost making me beg."Fuck," I gasp. The wave of pleasure overwhelms me to the point where I can barely breathe. I tilt my head back, gripping his neck and parting my lips."Are you okay?" I meet his eyes; he's studying my face. I nod."You're making me wait too long," I manage to say. A mischievous smile spreads across his face. "Are you teasing me?" I pull at the collar of his shirt, pulling him closer, wrapping my legs around his waist."No.""Good. You wouldn't want to play with me.""Strange. It's always you who ends up begging in the end." I feign indignation and push his chest. I step down from the countertop, letting the dress fall to the floor. "Damn it. Come back here, I didn't mean to hurt you," he whispers, triggering an exaggerated laugh from my throat. I turn to face him, finding a smile on his lips. I approach him."You already los
NATHANI woke up to the sound of what must have been running water coming from the bathroom."Kate?" I call out. She emerges from the bathroom door, and I prop myself up on my elbows, staring at her."Did I wake you up?" she asks. Why the hell is she dressed?"What are you doing?""Going home.""Now?""Do I need to remind you about my job?" She approaches and sits beside me."You don't have to worry about that.""Don't say that, please.""It's two in the morning, it's still early. I can't let you leave.""If I stay, you won't let me truly sleep, will you?""The last thing I want to do when I'm with you is sleep.""I know. I feel the same.""Great.""But I have to go.""No. You don't." I sat up on the bed, pulling her by the nape of her neck and gazing into her large green eyes, feeling her breath quicken. Placing my other hand on her thigh, I slid it up her inner thigh. The most incredibly soft skin I've ever felt.I watch her wet her lips and bite down on them. I want to feel her wet
NATHANI must have managed to fall asleep an hour after she left. It was still seven in the morning, and after a grueling workout and a shower, I got dressed for work. I'm still mad at her, and it won't help me in the team meeting today. My phone rings on the bedside table.Great! Stephan!"Yes?""In a good mood as always, Ryan?""Do you have something important to tell me? Or are you just going to annoy me as usual?""You owe me some information. You didn't tell me about the pursuit trip with poor Kate.""Everything's fine.""Just that? Does it mean you managed to convince her to come back?""Let's just say yes.""I want you to tell me that in person. How about grabbing a coffee?""I don't know.""I'll meet you at the office. I really wanted to see Kate anyway." I roll my eyes before hearing his laughter. "See you soon, Nat."Stephan is leaning over the reception counter. He's shamelessly flirting with Ana. When I approach, I see her silly smile vanish."Little brother!" He turns aro
NATHANPaul has been talking for over ten minutes, and I haven't been able to concentrate on a single word. Kate is playing with a pen between her lips, trying to pretend it's spontaneous, but she gives herself away when her gaze meets mine for a second.I pick up the glass of water on the table. It must have been almost two hours of this damn meeting, and I still can't stop thinking about the damn stockings or about opening her dress and seeing what she's wearing underneath."I need a break." The words escape, making me realize that I've lost control of the connection between my brain and my mouth. Shit. This is going from bad to worse. I see Paul furrowing his brows before nodding."Alright.""Collins, I need your help upstairs." Her eyes widen for a fraction of a second, indicating how inconvenient I'm being."Yes, sir." I want to yell at her, scold her, and tell her she can't do this. I need to make her understand how detrimental this is to my business.We take the elevator, and w
NATHAN"You know how risky this is," she says. I spin her around, pressing her against the metal. I lift her dress, exposing her ass and revealing the incredible lace and bow panties she's wearing. A moan escapes my throat."Fuck. You can't wear this to work. There's probably a law against it. From now on, I won't have a moment's peace wondering if you're wearing one of these things.""Nathan..." I kiss her neck, sensing her sexy perfume. She tries to turn, but I stop her. I lower my pants enough to free my cock. Sliding her panties down her thighs, I position myself and enter her with some difficulty. She moans, trying to stop me from going deeper, squeezing me. Shit. "Wait..." She moans, her expression driving me crazy."We don't have time for tenderness, baby," I whisper, entering slowly. But soon my movements become urgent and out of control. I'm hungry. She moans non-stop. I find her clit with one hand. Being inside her is comforting and mind-blowing after a long day.The image o
KATEHis hair was still as dark as I remembered, and his eyes were the same that made my stomach twist, so intense with their honey color. The beard seemed to be the only new addition to his face. His physique was still incredible, but even better. Damn it. Why the hell am I thinking these things? He shouldn't affect me. Not at all."Earlier, you said nerdy girl... I think you're not a girl anymore. You seem more like an incredible woman, Miss K." I think I smile too widely. How does he still remember that?"You too, Mr. M." That's how we referred to each other when we first met at the library. It sounds ridiculous, I know. It was because of the characters in a book I was reading, which he happened to have read as well. The characters used to call each other "Mr." and "Miss" followed by the first letter of their name. I don't know how he still remembers that. It's so silly."I feel like we still have a lot to talk about," he says."We do?""Don't you think?" I nod. I can't, dear Mr. M
KATEI feel the soft sheet slide as I pull it, and I sit up abruptly, sitting on the bed. Shit, I breathe a sigh of relief, seeing Nathan sitting in the armchair near the window.I lie back down, trying to remember the recent events. I'm wearing only one of his shirts, and I can smell his soap on me. Did he bathe me? How can I not remember that?I can see his cold expression clearly, thanks to the light coming in through the window, preventing complete darkness in the room. I think about the right words to say, but in the end, I decide it's best not to say anything.I wonder where my phone is and what time it is. He remains seated, motionless, with tense shoulders and a clenched jaw. How long is he going to stay like this? I get up and walk towards him. I touch his shoulders and lean in to kiss his neck. He removes my hands before standing up and shaking his head."I thought that night in Dallas would serve as a lesson," he says before leaving through the hallway. Is he really going t
KATEWhere is he going?"Nathan?" We climbed the stairs and entered a corridor on the upper floor. I had never been in this part of his apartment before. We passed through another corridor and reached a small staircase, which I followed with curiosity.As we passed through the door, I was amazed by the incredible view from the penthouse. It was like an outdoor room. You could also see the lights from the entire city.In the center of the space, there was a canopy bed, and further ahead, white sofas and white curtains attached to pergolas. And a few steps below, where there was no more ceiling, you could see a pool, sun loungers, plants, and benches adorned with flowers and leaves. A mini garden. Stunning.The breeze made me shiver, reminding me that I was completely naked. When I turned my attention back to him, he was looking at me."So?""It's beautiful. But...""But?""Why did you bring me here?""I thought you would like it.""I did. It just seems like a romantic place. Have you b
