“You’re an animal.” She took several breaths. “A wild, erotic, unsatiated animal.”I traced down her back, her goose bumps meeting my fingertips. “Wait until I fuck your ass. Then, that term will have a whole new meaning.”She tilted her neck to look at me. “I’ve never done that before. Should I be nervous?”“Do you trust me?”There was no pause when she answered, “Yes.”I softly surrounded her top lip and bottom with my own, giving her the smoothness of my tongue. “I’ll be gentle.”Her reply came out as a laugh and then a long, deep moan.Twenty-ThreeKendall“Hello?” I whispered into my phone, the head of production appearing on my caller ID, but I still kept my voice low so I wouldn’t wake up Dominick.“Kendall, it’s Shane.”I’d expected one of the assistants to phone me, not the boss. If Shane was calling, that meant I was in serious trouble.And I deserved to be.“Hi.”“We need to talk about last night.”I hurried out of Dominick’s bedroom, so he wouldn’t hear me, and I took a s
It killed me that we still hadn’t spoken. That I would have to be the one to reach out if things were ever to get fixed. But she’d want me to take the blame for our spat, and I didn’t think that was fair.“No matter what, I’ll always love her and care about her. I truly want the best for her, Dominick.”“Even if she treats you like shit?”I thought about his question. I let it simmer, and eventually, I nodded. “Yes. She’s my family.”“I have news,” I said to Charlize, standing outside my building after Dominick dropped me off. “It’s top secret—you can’t share it even if there’s wine or a gun is being held to your head—but I have to tell someone before I explode.”I couldn’t go inside and talk to him. Every word would be caught on camera, and I just wanted this moment of privacy before I went upstairs and got ready to film.“Does it have to do with Presley Jordan? Because I was texting you all night, and your MIAness has made me CRAYness.”“You know those pics are fake, and that alert
“Aren’t they heavenly?” She popped a whole one into her mouth. “They’re cake balls, and it saddens me that you’ve never had one before.”“You know I’m not into dessert.”She winked, handing me another. “And you know I’m determined to change that about you.” She pointed to the new one in my hand. “That’s red velvet. I wasn’t sure what kind you’d like more, so I made a few different flavors. The first one you had was peanut butter, obviously. There’s also Oreo and butter cake.”“When did you have time to make these?”“At three this morning.”“Kendall …”“You’re worth it, so don’t even.”I kissed her again, giving her a taste of the red velvet I’d just finished devouring. “They’re really excellent. Gooey cake, balled up and dunked in chocolate. Fucking genius.”“Thank you.” She put the lid on the container. “We’ll save these for after dinner.” She nodded toward the kitchen. “Put me to work. I want to help with what you’ve got going on in there.”I held her against me for several more sec
Instead, I told Kendall, “It went exactly the way you’d expect.”“I’m assuming that means, she lost her mind?”“The Dalton Group won’t be working with Daisy. Ever again.”Streaks of emotion shot across her face. “Dominick, I’m so sorry.”“Baby, for what?” I reached across the space between us, grazing the back of her arm. “You’ve done nothing wrong. This is all on her.”She was silent, staring at the pool, at the hills of homes across from mine. “I feel responsible for her actions. I mean, if it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t be having these outbursts.” She glanced at me. “Which, I assume, was ugly?”When I wouldn’t give her a confirmation, she looked away again, tucking her legs against her chest.“Have you heard from her?”She continued to look straight ahead when she replied, “No, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.” She sighed. “I don’t want this. I know you know that, but I still need to say it.” She wrapped her arms around her knees. “She had a crush on Presley Jordan, so she
“Fuck her. Everything she’s saying is bullshit—you know this. So, stop focusing on Daisy and what you can do to repair things. It takes two, Kendall, and she’s made no effort. Instead, all she’s done is blame you for everything.” He nodded toward the house. “Tonight is about us, not her.”He was right.I couldn’t sit here and dwell on something I had no control over. When Daisy was finally able to see that she wasn’t the innocent party in this mess, maybe that was when things would change between us. Until then, we’d just have to continue with the way things were.That made me even unhappier, but I had no other choice.I gave him a smile, knowing that was what he wanted to see. “Let’s go eat.”I followed him inside, draining the rest of my wine, and headed straight to the bar to retrieve the bottle, carrying it to the table. When I noticed Dominick’s glass on the counter by the grill, I went out and got it, filling both as I came back in.He’d set the platters in the center of the tab
His thickness was filling, consuming me.And with each plunge, I couldn’t stop thinking about what this was going to feel like when it was inside of me. That deep, overwhelming satisfaction I could only get from his dick. It was that need, that burning desire, that caused my speed to increase.He twisted my hair around his wrist, grunting, “You’re going to make me fucking come.”That sounded like a challenge.But I knew he wasn’t going to let me bring him there because I was positive he had much more planned for tonight. And seconds later, I learned I was right when he lifted me in the air and set me on my back, hovering over me while he stripped off my clothes.The only thing that remained on my skin was the heat from the fire and his scorching gaze.“I’m going to fucking devour you.”I shivered.From the anticipation.From the look of hunger on his face.From his feral lips as they moved down my chest, surrounding my nipple, repeatedly tugging it with his teeth. Each pull lifted me
I wanted to close my legs, the invasion too much, the irritation spreading through my whole body, increasing the more he moved. But with his mouth parked on the outer edge of my ear, I listened to his whispers, encouraging me to relax until I finally heard what I’d been waiting for.“You have all of me.”Once he stilled, the heat died, but the aching was there.“Tell me how you feel.”I waited until the nerves calmed in my chest, when my brain could form words. “Full.”He growled, “That’s because you’re so fucking tight.” He kissed me. “I’m not going to move. I want you to get used to this feeling first.”This was certainly more than I had been ready for, but it wasn’t getting worse. I was adjusting, widening a bit more even if that happened slowly.He exhaled against my face, the titillation so clear in his sounds. His tongue swept through my lips. “Tell me when you’re ready.”He was so big that I worried the friction would hurt worse than what I’d already experienced. I didn’t know
But I had no choice. We had a secret to maintain, and that was the path I’d chosen.I wasn’t surprised when the guys had picked a table in the corner of the bar, a spot that allowed us to see the whole VIP section, Kendall and her costars and their entire production crew in the center.It was fucking excruciating to watch her from this far away, seeing how goddamn beautiful she looked in that red dress. I couldn’t touch her upper thigh when the material rode high on her legs or squeeze that perfect fucking ass that I’d been thinking about nonstop since she’d let me fuck it.I couldn’t whisper in her ear, inhaling her scent, feeling the softness of her skin against my lips.I could only observe.With my hands to myself.And I had to make sure I didn’t flirt with her from all the way over here, so the producers didn’t pick up on any signs. Raising their attention was the last goddamn thing I needed.So, instead, I drank, the waitress topping off my glass with the bottle we’d ordered whe
