His head hangs close to mine as he tries to get his labored breaths under control. I can tell this is an arduous task for him. His sculpted abs are like marble when he drags in a sliver of air, then they relax slightly and his flesh quivers against my belly with his sharp exhales.The breaths blow warmly along my throat, across my collarbone, occasionally riding seductive groans as my pussy continues to clench and release him, purely of its own accord. The involuntary action is both indicative of how desperately I love that he’s still buried within me, and how impossible it is for me to relinquish my hold on him, when I’m not certain whether I’ll ever have this opportunity again.I am incredibly fearful this is a one-and-done scenario. As in… He’s gotten me out of his system and from here on out, we’ll be strictly all business.Naturally, I want to believe that won’t be the case. I want to believe his lingering in this position, the fact that we’re still entangled with each other, mea
I am literally still so limp and eviscerated, though, I can’t move.Apparently, he has other things on his mind and doesn’t wait for me to compose myself.He says, “Slip under the covers. Rest. We’ll be landing shortly, and we have a very big day ahead of us.”He leaves, the doors automatically closing behind him.I stare at them.In the polished burlwood, I pretty much see the writing on the wall.This was just sex.Nothing more.And, seriously… What the hell did I expect? That just because Jameson took me to astounding heights, he was equally ensnared?I simper—at my own idiocy.Then I redirect all my wayward ideations and make a personal executive decision.I want the man. There’s no denying that.But the man’s not really up for grabs.Thus…My moves must be strategic, while also being wholly conducive to what it earnestly is that he’s looking for from me.I do as he’s instructed, sliding under satiny sheets and settling into a bed that is so sublime, I know I’ll be out like a light
I tuck the gift box into my tote as Kristin is returning with my coffee.I make the noted changes to the PowerPoint slides, avoiding eye contact with Jameson while the attendant is tidying the cabin.When she disappears again, I still don’t glance up from my laptop.I have not yet done as instructed. I haven’t attempted a G****e search. I’m not really sure I need to, in all honesty. I think Jameson has made the connotation perfectly clear. Putting a collar on me is another form of dominance. Though… He’s already dominated me quite masterfully. I’m not certain the jewelry is necessary, either.He’s fully in charge. Without doubt—and despite me wishing to ramp up my own game.Regardless, he apparently finds something provocative about branding me in this fashion and I’m… Not opposed to the idea.That’s an intricate sentiment to dissect and digest.Which I don’t actually have the time for, at present. Kristin informs us we’re making our descent into London just as we feel the graceful dip
We deplane and settle in the limo while our luggage is loaded. Mostly my luggage, because I didn’t have the foresight to consolidate and compartmentalize, so that I’d only need one suitcase to accompany us for the three nights we’ll be in London. I make a mental note to reorganize and be more efficient, letting myself a little off the hook by contending I’ll be picking up an additional wardrobe along the way and I’ll have to accommodate those supplemental items.As we leave the private, executive terminal, visions of conservative cocktail dresses and more risqué late-night attire dance through my head. I also try to take in the scenery. It’s early morning and foggy. The gray mist weaves through the trees and buildings. There’s an odd comfort to the haze, laced with an eerie sensation. It feels mysterious and sensual, lazy yet…ominous.I’ve discovered I’m a huge fan of ominous.It’s not necessarily a menacing word, encompassing of evil connotations. It’s more seductively foreboding, su
“I thought you wanted shopping and champagne this afternoon,” Jameson murmurs in his richly sensuous tone.He is so seductively dark and entrancing, I have completely forgotten about shopping and champagne.Unfortunately for me, two things are colliding at this moment, given our arrival at the VIP valet station.First, the limo comes to a halt.Second, out of the corner of my eye, I see a uniformed man approaching the vehicle to open the door. I can’t risk messing up my lipstick by kissing Jameson, with no time to fix it.Thus, with an inward sigh, I carefully extract myself from the hunkiest man on the planet and settle into my seat to collect myself. Then my belongings. As Jameson alights and turns back to me, I have my purse and coat in hand, leaving my laptop bag as he did. Apparently, he thoroughly trusts our driver with all our possessions, including the luggage in the trunk.He helps me into my coat as the valet holds a large umbrella over our heads while light flurries fall.J
The light fare is perfectly filling without the bloat. Yes, I am ultra-conscientious of my body in this incredibly tight dress as Jameson pulls back my chair and holds out a hand to me. I stand as he collects my clutch. Then he escorts me out of the restaurant. All eyes are on us again.I modestly comprehend the curiosity is wrapped solely around him. But I wishfully think that perhaps they all find me intriguing enough, as well, to justify being on his arm.That’s a tough notion to process and certainly not one I’m going to reconcile.In the grand scheme of things, I did orchestrate something that has led us to this moment, by originally putting myself up for auction. Then by perpetuating what was only meant to be a fantasy. However, in all reality… I’m nowhere near being in this man’s league, regardless of any clever, though mostly desperate, maneuvering on my part.What this all propagates is a tinge of insecurity that is coupled with a more daring conception of at least attempting
“I’m willing to wait as long as necessary,” he says.I eye him, with a small smile. “You have high expectations.”“The highest.”“Gee, no pressure there.” I laugh softly. Honestly, I should be shaking in my Pradas, but I think I can totally nail the look for this second portion of our evening. Thus, I finish my water, deposit the glass on Simon’s silver tray, and bounce off to the room he’s recommended for me.All of my new dresses are hanging in the closet and the butler has efficiently unpacked me. I keep my hair in the ponytail, given the style will show off the necklace. I darken my cosmetics, though, creating smokier eyes and thickening my lashes and brows. The makeup artist at the salon found the perfect shade of lipstick to match the pearls and I love the cranberry hue, with a slight shimmer.I slip into a sliver of a dress, in an almost identical color. It’s tight at the hips and has a ridiculously short hem that just barely covers my ass. The waist has gathered material that
It’s not really a question that needs to be posed. Obviously.Except… There are now myriad thoughts invading my mind.Erotic ones, wrapped around voyeurism.Jealous ones, considering Jameson might have just ordered an orgy for us to participate in—and I’m not interested in sharing this man.And anxious ones, because this might be the place where he demonstrates his dominance, bringing the collar into play.Oh, shit.I pull in a few deep breaths. Then I suck down half my glass of bubbly. And breathe some more.Beside me, Jameson casually takes a drink. The entire scene is elegantly sensuous, with the glamourous chandelier and sconces on a dim setting, the plush furniture and the fancy décor. The incredibly hot and hunky male who’s orchestrating all of this. He’s amazingly cool and collected. Like this is nothing out of the ordinary for him.And, suddenly, I wonder if that’s true.I more carefully query, “Been here before?”Okay, that’s not the least bit cautious. I dove right in, didn
