Chapter 3

What was she doing? 

She couldn't control herself any longer,it was as if rational thought had left her. Her body was acting on its own and she couldn't stop it. She knew it was a mistake the moment his lips came in contact with her lips.

The intensity of the kiss stunned her. She could feel his eyes on her, his hands trailing over her body and sliding off her clothes with intense focus, deepening the kiss.

All rational thought disappeared in that moment and she couldn't think of anything else.

She tangled her hands between his hair and pulled him closer. His hands leaves her clothes as he carries her to the bed. He trailed kisses all over her face and body connecting his lips fiercely with mine. 

He slids his body on top of her and his kiss begins to deepen. He lifts his head to stare at her with full concentration. His stare brought a full burst of desire within her. She had never felt this way before.

“You want me?,”Say you want me”,He whispered into her ears bringing her almost to her knees.

His sexy voice filled her with desire ,she couldn't believe how much she wanted him. She had never wanted any man as much as she wanted him right now.

Reid had had her fair share of relationships,she wasn't sexually shy,but she couldn't quite figure out the way she way she felt about him.

“It is just a sexual attraction” she tried to convince herself but she couldn't stop the fire that had begun to flare all over her body the moment he had kissed her. He was definitely different from all the other men she had been with. He aroused her in ways she didn't know she could.

“This is a mistake”, her subconscious mind shrilled. The moment of brief pause had brought back all the doubts,but there was no going back. Now she had a taste of him she was sure she couldn't leave without seeing it through to the end.

Pushing all thoughts away she sealed them at the back of her mind,and leaned in for more of his kisses.

“Yes,I want you”, she breathed softly as he inched closer to her slowly and with care, he buried himself inside her. He was large and it made her uncomfortable for a moment. Noticing her discomfort,he placed his hand on either side of the bed, keeping his weight off her,he rested there and gave her time to adjust to his size.

Reid arched her body towards his, he grinned with pleasure and used his free hands to adjust her position. He knelt down between her spread thighs and dragged her even closer.

Sullivan lifted her higher, forcing himself deeper inside her. She groaned with pleasure and drew closer to him.

He was magnificent. She couldn't stop staring at him, everything about him turned her on. Sweat had beaded in his forehead, dampening his hair and added a glow to his bronze skin.

He was marvelous,now she could understand why many women went after him. He gritted his teeth,his head flew back with his eyes shut he finally reached climax.

She watched in fascination as he had kept a cool head all through while she had lost control completely.

He released her loosening his grip on her thighs. She could barely move, wincing in pain when she noticed the bruises on her thighs and butts. 

Exhausted, he fell flat beside her,his body still entangled with hers not letting her go. She subtly laid down beside him and moved his head to rest on her body cuddling him. Noticing he'd made no objections to her embracing him,she pulled him closer.

“Thanks,Rita”,he slurred. He sounded like he was drunk. A few seconds later she could hear his snore. He must have used up a lot of energy seeing as how he slept off almost immediately. She too was also far spent and felt like the morning was eons ago.

Reid sighed,trying not to acknowledge the fact that the man she had just given herself to,who had looked at her like she was his world just a few minutes ago,whom she had worked with for nearly six months now had just called her by the wrong name. 

“What were you expecting, an exchange of promises and flowers”,she chatised herself internally. Just because he'd slept with her didn't mean anything was going to come out of it.

She had seen the women he'd rejected and she wasn't even up to their status. She was just a secretary. Her mind raged at her.

Suddenly feeling very ashamed of how she had lost control so easily,she pushed him away and stood up on shaky legs. Her thighs hurt with each step she took and she longed for a long soak when she got to her room.

Walking over to the side of the bed,she caught a reflection of herself in the bedside mirror. She looked completely disheveled. She glanced back at Gabriel,he was still asleep. She doubt he would like it if he woke up with her beside him.

The blue-eyed woman looked through the room for her clothes and underwears. Her clothes were strewn all over the room by Gabriel in his haste to get them off her but she couldn't find her underwears. 

Hastily dressing,she walked to door;for once she was glad they were sharing the penthouse suite so her room was only a walk away. She wasn't sure she could bear anyone seeing her in this state.

Wobbling over to her room, she collapsed on her bed. It was just as she had left it. Most of her clothes and the contents of her suitcase were strewn chaotically all over the bed and bedside table.

Her entire body still trembled in the aftermath of all that had happened.

She buried her face in her pillow.

This night could very well be one of the biggest mistake of her life.

“It’s just sex”,she told herself, embarrassed by the obvious lie she detected in her voice. It was definitely not just sex. It was the most wonderful,bone rattling,mind boggling experience she'd ever had.

She had to give it to him. The arrogant jerk definitely knew his way around a woman's body. Her mind was still reeling from the aftermath of what she'd just experienced. 

But out of the heap of thoughts going through her mind, one stood out above all.

She'd just slept the Gabriel Sullivan, one of the most sought after bachelors in the country.
