She moves her hands to grip the back of my hair as she tries to tug me away. It’s a futile effort on her behalf. Her fingers go from tugging to tightening in my hair within seconds. I tighten my hold on her, devouring her sweetness.
My tongue dives into her mouth as she moans against me. I’ve never had a woman taste so good. I search her mouth with my tongue, seeking every delicious crevice of her warm, welcoming opening.
It’s a battle, but I force myself to break the kiss before I lose sight of my plan. My goal isn’t to have one night with Sidney James. No, that would be a travesty.
I know if I were to give her one night with the real me, I would lose her forever. No, I have to follow through with the plan. Only the plan will keep Sidney in my life long enough for me to savor her.
“This wasn’t my doing. I’m not the cause of your problems, but I believe I know who is. This clusterfuck you’ve been dealing with isn’t over,” I breathe against her lips. “This is as much to help you as it is to benefit me.”
“Wow,” Chloe sighs from her seat.
However, I don’t look away from Sidney. Instead, I patiently await her next reply. I watch as she blinks slowly a few times. She shakes her head slightly, reaching to touch her now swollen lips.
“Why is this helping me?”
“I have everything you need, even those things you have yet to become aware of,” I reply.
Sidney stares at me for a long moment. Then she does something that makes my groin tighten, causing my need for her to surge through me. I don’t even know if she knows how beautiful she is.
Her head is thrown back, exposing her throat. Her breasts jiggle with the motion. From this angle, being so much taller than she is, I can see the mirth in her eyes as she laughs from deep in her belly. It’s sensual and sultry, without her even trying.
She wipes at the corners of her eyes. She looks at Chloe and laughs some more. My lips turn up into a smile when her words pour out.
“Chloe, you bitch. I knew you wanted to get me laid, but I didn’t think you would go this far. You almost had me.” She laughs.
This time I look to Chloe in my amusement. She shakes her head, looking between the two of us while fanning herself. She nods in my direction.
“First, I think you better actually watch your mouth. Secondly, girl, I had nothing to do with this. I promise you. This is all him.” She shrugs. “I’m just as shocked as you are. I’m just not complaining.”
Sidney whips her head back in my direction. “This isn’t a joke?” she asks with wide eyes. “This has to be a joke.”
“When it comes to you, I will not and do not joke,” I say firmly.
Her mouth pops open, her eyes narrow, and her jaw twists. I know some more of that sass is coming my way. Just the thought sends my blood pumping.
No, I don’t want to break that defiance out of Sidney. I want to tame it just for me. I want to harness that fire within her for my very own pleasure. When she burns with that aggression and fire, I want it to be beneath me as she writhes with pleasure unknown and unattainable from anyone else.
“Give me one reason I should even entertain you and this foolishness,” she hisses at me.
I break into a full-on smile. “Just one?” I arch my brow. “I’ll give you a few.”
Chapter 5
The Offer
Sidney
To say I’m stunned is an understatement. A contract, this son of a bitch, this sexy as hell, son of a bitch has offered me a million-dollar contract. It looks like he offered Chloe the same, only her contract had someone else’s name on it as I flipped through the pages.
I don’t know what kind of kinky shit he’s into, but I’m not about to play myself with this bullshit. My reputation has already been dragged through the mud after what Steinway & Schwartz has put me through. I don’t even think I trust this man.
I will never place my future and life in the hands of other people, ever again. Suddenly, I feel like a hole has been punched through my chest. This all cannot be happening to me again.
How the fuck did they find out about Kiss?
I started the publishing company when I started to monetize my blog. Chloe is like a sister to me. I trusted her to open the accounts and place the company in her name until my shit was all cleared up.
Marnita Knight, a friend of mine from college, was able to get her brother to create some false IDs for me. That was how I was able to have access to the accounts, but for the most part, everything is in Chloe’s name. It’s how I was able to survive for the last year and a half.
