“Do you want a coffee before we close up?”
“Please. Black.”
“Black? No sugar?” My ears heat up. “Wait. I’ve been making it wrong for you this whole time?”
“Sorry. I was thinking about how sweet your lips were, and ‘sugar’ just came out.”
“Then I suppose you’ve definitely had your fill.”
“Not even close, but the coffee I prefer black.”
“Yep—I thought you were a psychopath, and that says it all.”
“You’ve got me there. Now get going before I start telling you about the marginal utility and the baked goods you offer.”
“Oh God, I’m out.” She rushes out of the office. “He’s insane,” she shouts. “Who likes numbers like that!”
A chuckle comes from deep within me, and I shake my head as I get back to work.
****
Her eyes brighten as I come out of the office. “Are you done for the day?”
“Yes, I’m taking some work home. I want to be able to do my regular job next week.” Immediately I know I said something wrong, but I’m not sure what it is.
“Okay. I’m ready.”
“Where is the rest of the staff?”
“I sent them home.”
“Okay. Let’s lock up. Oh, and you’ll need the code.” I read it off to her as I enter it.
“Wow, this is fancy.”
“I want you well protected.” Grabbing her hand in mine, I lead her to my vehicle and close the door once she’s in.
As soon as I pull out of my spot, I’m working on dinner plans. “What would you like for dinner?”
“Lunch was filling, so I’m not that hungry.” I can’t be sure if that’s true, or if she doesn’t want to be a bother. One thing I’ve learned is that Ivy is generous to a fault. However, since she hasn’t eaten, her stomach could be a lot smaller.
“How about some Chinese? I have a taste for it.”
“Yes.” Her smile makes me want to lean down and kiss the fuck out of her. So my pretty girl is hungry after all.
“Fuck, you’re so damn beautiful when your smile reaches your eyes.” She blushes, and since it’s the beginning of May, the lights of the setting sun only amplify her radiance. The flush on her face makes me wonder if she’ll be that pink when I’m buried balls deep inside her warmth.
I’m so lost in my head that I almost missed my turn into the parking garage, causing me to turn a little sharper than I normally would. Damn, I’m going to start using a family driver, but I’ll wait to call one of the guys tomorrow. For tonight, no more distractions.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. Are you okay?”
I pull into my spot and put the car in park before I give her my attention, because that concrete wall doesn’t look forgiving. “I’m great, Ivy. In fact, I’ve never felt better.” I exit and rush around to the other side as Ivy grabs the handle. “Always wait for me,” I chide her.
“I can open my door just fine, Niccolò.”
“Yes, but there could be dangers and I want you to be safe.” She nods and looks around as if she’s afraid that we’ll be ambushed. It’s extremely unlikely, but that’s why there are teams that guard the building per the agreement I made when I moved away from the estate.
“We’re safe here. Come on, Sugar. I want to eat you… I mean I want to feed you.”
“Freudian slip?”
“Damn right. I can’t wait to have my head between those legs.”
“I’m not sure I’d mind.”
My eyes widen as I stare at her, jabbing the button for my elevator, which opens immediately. “Don’t say things like that because I’ll have your pussy for dinner and then fill you up with my load.”
“Again, not making it sound like a bad thing.”
I pin her back to the wall with her arms bent above her head and fingers interlaced with mine, grinding my cock against her stomach as my mouth crushes hers. “Nico,” she moans against my lips.
I release her mouth and lean my forehead on her chest. “It’s a bad thing because if I fuck you, there’s no going back. You will be mine.”
“I thought you already said you owned me.”
I look into her eyes, gazing intently at her. “Ivy, you don’t know what you’re saying. I’m hanging on by a thread.”
“Perhaps I should just leave.”
A growl rips through my throat just as the elevator doors open. I lift her into my arms, putting hers around my neck, not saying a word until I have her locked inside the condo and into my bedroom with our shoes kicked off along the way. I lay her down on the bed with my body pinning hers down. “I can’t let you leave. You’re mine.”
I grab the hem of her blouse and raise it over her head, tossing it on the floor. Fuck, she’s wearing an all-black lace bra that barely hides the treasures inside. My fingers skim over the top of each full cup, listening to her light, breathy moans. I tug the material down and take my first taste. Her soft, supple skin down to the pointed hard peaks are mine to devour, and the rush of my tongue swiping across the tender buds sends me into overdrive. When I suck on her nipple, I know I can’t go back. I have to have my woman under me, filled with my seed until our child begins to form. Lust, desire, and hunger fuel me, igniting the burning need to possess Ivy in every way possible.
