Flashes of Me (18 page)
“Yes.” I move backward, pushing his cock into me. “Give me your baby.”
“Be still.” Henley squeezes my ass, and my inner walls involuntarily convulse, constricting around his tip. We both groan, the sensation luscious. “Look at me,” he demands. I glance over my right shoulder and meet his gaze. Lightning flashes in his dark eyes. “Do you want to try to make a baby today, kitten?”
I know what he’s asking. Do I want to try to make a baby with Henley on the day my father died? “More than anything.” This feels right.
Henley’s lips lift. “Then turn your head and watch as we try to make a baby.”
I gaze at the screen as he slides his cock into me, my pink flesh pulling tight around his girth, the fullness divine. Henley sinks deeper and deeper, more of his shaft disappearing inside my pussy, and my knuckles whiten, my grip on the desk intensifying, his size stroking the flames of my desire.
His black private curls tickle my pussy lips, his hips press against my ass, and he stills, his body draped over mine, layers of clothing separating his chest from my back. He turns his head to the left. “Beauty and the beast,” he murmurs.
I follow his line of sight. Our image is displayed on a screen, Henley appearing monstrously large compared to my smaller form, his face rugged, his nose flat, his expression fierce. “I wish you’d stop calling me a beast,” I quip, smiling. “It’s giving me a complex.”
He throws back his head and laughs, his body rubbing against mine, his joy lighting his face. “I love you, kitten.” Henley folds his fingers over my hips, holding me in place as he pulls out, his cock head skimming along my inner walls.
My happiness flows to desire, his movement scattering my thoughts. Henley drives forward, smacking his hard physique against my curves, my ass burning with the contact. I moan, flooded by waves of intense feeling.
He rides me mercilessly, our bodies colliding, connecting, then parting, only to crash together once more. I push back as he lunges forward, our fucking savage and primal. He’s a man seeking to plant his seed inside his woman, his urgency palpable, his need gratifying. I’m a woman submitting, welcoming my man’s sexual supremacy, knowing he’ll always protect me, cherish me, love me.
Henley grunts as he ruts into me, reaching deeper and deeper, his balls slapping against my skin, his fingers twisting in my hair, pulling at my curls. Pinpricks of pain shoot over my scalp, escalating my desire.
I watch him on the screen, Henley’s ass cheeks clenching and unclenching, the play of tanned skin over hard muscle awe inspiring. He’s powerful and mine, my present and my future, and I’ll please him as he pleases me. I tighten my inner muscles around him, increasing our points of connection, and tremors shake both of our bodies.
Henley pounds into my pussy even harder, his thrusts nudging the desk toward the wall and edging me toward release. My tremors increase in magnitude, loosening my grip on reality, straining my sanity, and I writhe under him, grinding against his hips.
Sweat trickles between my breasts, dampens the fabric of my blazer. Heat spirals from my core. I’m a sexy mess and I can’t last much longer. “Henley?”
“Yes, kitten.” He nuzzles my neck and I tilt my head, giving him access to more of me. “Yes.” Henley licks my skin, his tongue rough and wet, and I shudder. “Come.” He covers my lips with one of his hands. I suck on his palm, tasting salt and man. “Come for me now.” He drives into me, his hips smack against my ass, and I scream, the sound muffled by his palm.
I fling myself upward, bucking, trying to displace him. He pushes deeper and roars, bathing my pussy with his hot cum, setting off another round of soul-shaking, full-body quakes. The intensity of my feelings overwhelms me and I fight desperately for my freedom, my battle futile. He’s too big, too strong, too masterful, subduing me easily.
Henley thrusts once, twice more, and sags against me, his weight pressing me into the hard desk, flattening me. His hand drops from my mouth and slaps the wood, the sound loud in the quiet office, the surface vibrating under my cheek.
Claimed completely by my behemoth, I turn my head and look at the image of us displayed on the screen. We’re joined, my small body folded into his massive physique, my pussy filled with his cock, my battered heart cradled in his scarred hands, our souls entwined.
“You’re magnificent.” I float on a fluffy white cloud of euphoria.
“Only you think so.” Henley gazes at our image also, his eyes glowing with warmth, with love. My blond curls frame his rugged face. My pink suit contrasts vividly with his stark black jacket. My curves mesh into his unrelenting muscle. We fit together perfectly, as though we were destined to complete each other.
“I love you, Henley,” I murmur.
“I love you, kitten.” My beloved behemoth braces his weight with his right arm and slides his left hand under my body, spreading his fingers over my stomach. “I love you too, baby . . . if you’re in there,” he adds gruffly. I smile. My big man has an even bigger heart.

BREAKING ALL THE RULES.
It’s Camille’s turn . . .

HIS IS THE
morning I break Nathan Lawford, Blaine Technologies’ notoriously uptight chief financial officer, the executive employees call the Iceman.
I hum the words to an extremely vulgar hip-hop song as I stride through the concrete-and-glass lobby, my phone in my right hand and the straps of my backpack slung over my shoulder.
Not even Jerome, the company’s power-high security guard, could dampen my enthusiasm today. He searched my black canvas bag for a record twelve minutes, wrinkling important papers and poking his clumsy fingers into delicate electronics. He leered and sneered at me, and I said nothing, tolerating the harassment.
Because today Nate will touch me.
I’ve spent months defrosting the Iceman, following rules I’ve crafted, rules he isn’t aware of. I can’t touch him unless he touches me. I can’t see him outside of our morning elevator rides unless he approaches me. I can e-mail him but not call him, check his agenda but not change it.
Even with these self-imposed restrictions, I’ll win, my victory growing more certain as our daily skirmishes escalate in intensity.
Every morning Nate takes the same elevator at the same time, his schedule as rigid and unbending as he is. Every morning I share the same elevator car. He looks at me. I look at him. We exchange a couple of verbal barbs, some increasingly steamy sexual innuendos, and then we part ways, going to our different floors, our different worlds.
I’m the green-haired rebel intern. Nate is an unemotional rule setter, a huge immovable wall I can’t stop pushing against, a challenge I can’t back away from. He drives me absolutely wild and I will have him. On my terms.
I glance at my phone’s screen. Shit on a stick. I have three minutes to trek to the elevators. Clipping my phone to my skirt’s frayed waistband, I march faster, the heels of my shoes ringing against the gleaming white marble tile. Video screens hang from the walls, displaying happy images of the conforming masses. Dark-suited corporate clones linger around the paid-to-be-perky receptionist.
Loitering isn’t an option, as there’s no flexibility in the Iceman’s timetable. I turn the corner and my heels squeak on the floor. No one is waiting for the elevators, the area empty. I press the up button three times in rapid succession, pleased that I’ll have Nate’s complete attention during our five-minute elevator ride.
Privacy is essential for my plan to work, as I’m not the type of woman any career-minded executive would choose to acknowledge publicly. I glance at my reflection in the elevator’s shiny metallic doors and wince. Although I no longer wear my temporary tattoos or visible body jewelry, the green hair and the holes in my ears, nose, and bottom lip remain, declaring my rebel status to the world.
This is who I am, who I’ve always been. I break rules. I push people. I don’t fit in anywhere. I tell myself I’m okay with this. In my heart I know I’m not. But I can’t change, not even for the Iceman.
The bell rings, the doors to elevator number four open, and my heart pounds. Nate stands in the back right corner, staring down at his phone, appearing as unapproachably handsome as usual, his blond hair short and neat, his broad shoulders clad in a form-fitting black suit, his crisp white shirt accentuating his golden tan. His tie is always black, always plain.
He wears the same clothing combination every day, and I want to peel the monochromatic fabric away from his kicking hot physique and lick him from his head to his toes. This impulsive act, while certain to be sexually satisfying, violates the rules of my game. He must touch me first. I keep my hands to myself and stride into the elevator, my hips swaying and my head held defiantly high.
Nate glances upward, our gazes lock and hold, and I forget to breathe, to think, to move. His eyes are the palest, coldest gray, a frigid blast of icy wind on a hot Californian day, and I want him as I’ve never wanted anyone else, my need for him carnal and raw.
He slides his phone into his jacket pocket and the silver Rolex on his wrist gleams. This symbol of wealth and the establishment, a physical reminder of who Nate is, doesn’t squelch my lust. It perversely feeds my fantasies.
In my overactive imagination Nate doesn’t stay in his corner. He stalks toward me, hooks one of his arms around my waist, pulls my curves into his muscle, and—
“Miss Trent.” His crisp businesslike tone returns me to reality.
“Nate.” I mimic his curtness, breaking an unspoken company rule by addressing a top executive by his first name. I tap the button for the legal floor. This is the law-enforcing, super-quiet department I’ve been sentenced to. I don’t fit in there, but then, I’ve never fit in anywhere.
Except here. I belong in this elevator car. I belong with Nate. I claim the corner across from him and openly study the object of my obsession. “You spent another weekend alone, I see.” The lines around his mouth and eyes are deeply etched, attesting to his many months of celibacy. This pleases me. I don’t want Nate to touch any other woman. He’s my iceberg to melt.
He raises one of his eyebrows. “Have you added stalking to your long list of crimes?”
I roll my eyes. I was found guilty of three minor misdemeanors while I was a careless teenager and now I’ve been labeled a criminal for life. “Don’t flatter yourself. A blind woman can tell you’re not getting any.” I stretch the truth. His expression is as cold and as emotionless as it normally is.
Nate frowns, glances at his reflection in the mirrored walls, sweeps one of his hands over his perfect hair.
“What’s the matter?” I grin at him as I set my backpack on the floor by my feet. “Are all of the hookers in LA on strike?”
He returns his gaze to me and narrows his eyes. “You’re well informed.” Ice drips from his words, his coolness indicating I’ve scored a direct hit. Many people subjected to Nate’s subzero demeanor assume he’s a frigid, unfeeling bastard. I recognize it for what it is—a shield, as effective as my sarcasm and green hair.
“You bet I’m well informed.” It didn’t take me long to discover that every well-dressed, insanely beautiful woman appearing beside Nate in the newspaper’s society pages was a high-end escort. His hooker fetish doesn’t bother me. Nate is a faithful, serial-monogamous John, taking a long time to choose the right escort and then paying for her exclusive attentions.
“You’re not hideous.” I unbutton my formerly black blazer, the sole suit I own faded from having been hand washed every night. “Why do you pay for sex?”
“Everyone pays for sex in one way or another.” Nate visually tracks my movements as I shrug out of the garment, removing one more barrier between us. “Some muddle the price with talk of love and feelings. I prefer straightforward, honest negotiations.”
He prefers to live life on his terms, laws be damned. I find this sexy, very sexy. I roll back my shoulders, my muscles tight from having carried the backpack, my movements deliberately sensuous.
Nate’s gaze lowers to the pale curves threatening to spill out of my favorite black leather corset. He peruses my breasts thoroughly, leisurely, his eyes darkening to a stormy gray. An exciting awareness radiates from him, causing my nipples to pucker and my body to hum.
“What are you doing, Miss Trent?” His voice is low and tongue-suckingly deep, making me think of entwined limbs and tangled bedsheets.
“I’m hot.” I drift my fingertips across my cleavage, teasing my skin, tormenting him, the man I must and will have. “And I’m moist. Do you have a tissue?”
Nate hesitates before extracting a neatly folded square of pristine white fabric from the inside pocket of his jacket. He holds it out to me.
I reach for the handkerchief, my fingers brush against his, and a sensual spark surges up my arm, lighting fires throughout my body. Nate’s mask of ice slips for two heartbeats, revealing a hunger as raw and as savage as my own. He then yanks his hand away, and this hunger is concealed, sealed by a layer of frost.
He wants me. Badly. I pat the sinfully soft cotton over my breasts, and Nate’s clean, fresh-out-of-the-shower scent transfers from the fabric onto my skin. He watches me, his expression carefully blank. Only his eyes convey his emotions, his gaze dark and intense.
“You need to get laid, Nate,” I bluntly state, hoping to shock him into action, to snap his control as he’s snapping mine.
Nate leans closer, looming over me, tall and overpoweringly masculine. “Are you making me an offer, Miss Trent?” His body heat weaves seductively around my chest, over my stomach, between my thighs.
“Would you be interested if I was?” I tilt my chin defiantly upward, bringing my lips nearer to his. “I’m not one of your vanilla sex yes-women.” I skim his handkerchief over my black corset, polishing the leather with the cotton square. “Do you think you can handle me, big boy?”
