Page 26 of Reckless Encounters

Making a dominant man like Parker so desperate has me feeling powerful and even more aroused. His moans, how he grips my hips tightly, the strength in his arms and chest as his muscles flex with each thrust, send me over the edge, and I claw at his chest as we both come.

I swear I hang in the clouds for a few minutes, somewhere between life and death, until my eyes open to his cock sliding out of me. Parker tosses the condom in the small trash can and flops down on the bed next to me, letting out a satisfied sigh.

“Thank you, Sir.” I can’t help but giggle from the smirk I see out of my peripheral.

“You’ll never be able to call me that again without gaining my cock’s attention.”

“That’s the point…Sir,” I smart back, raising my eyebrows suggestively to him.

Our eyes meet for a few moments, and he gives me the most genuine smile I’ve ever seen grace his face. My stomach stirs with what feels like a million pigeons fighting over scraps in Central Park.

“Fuck, that was phenomenal.” He breaks the silence.

“I don’t think phenomenal even begins to describe it.”

“I’ve been waiting on that for over a year and a half.” Again, his slight admission sends my emotions in a tailspin, trying to navigate what he’s saying without saying.

“Well, you know you didn’t have to wait for me to show back up here.” I’ve thought so many times about seeking him out at Masqued since that first night, but any time we were briefly around each other, I always got the notion he had no intentions of reliving our rendezvous.

Until recently.

“That reminds me of something I’ve been wondering. Why haven’t you been here much, if at all, since then?” He raises his eyebrows as mine dip. “I mean, you obviously like sex, and it seems like you are still looking for something you haven’t found, so why not?”

I ponder on that for a few beats, but I’m not sure I even really know the answer. “How do you know I haven’t been here, Mr. Cole?”

He smirks. “I have my ways…or maybe it's just an assumption.”

I turn onto my side, trailing my fingertips up his arm. Parker watches the touch, and this time when his eyes meet mine, I see something new within his stare. An emotion I can’t quite grasp.

“You know we could keep doing this… It doesn’t have to be here, and it doesn’t have to be anything serious.”

I feel him stiffen under my fingertips. My words have him sitting up abruptly.

“We would keep it outside of work too, of course. I know how touchy you are about me taking my job seriously. Just a casual agreement, whenever we are both free,” I rush out.

He runs his hands through his dark hair, still not saying anything, and I feel like such a stupid girl as I continue to try to keep his walls from completely going back up.

“Even if we just meet here… That way, neither of us is going to the other’s home.”

Parker holds up his hand. “Ava, stop, please.”

“Seriously, what’s the big deal?” I say, sitting up, just as he starts getting dressed.

My question has him whipping around. “The big deal is, we fuck two times…one of which was a year a half ago, and you are already asking me for more.”

Any lingering euphoria is wiped away as he levels me with his stormy grey eyes. “And I don’t do more, Ava.” The grimace on his face tells me there is so much more going on here, but I’m fucking over his wishy-washy behavior. “I’m a one-and-done type of guy… Occasionally, when it's good, I come back for seconds.”

Parker pauses, staring at me for a few seconds, and then he’s walking over and cupping my face, searing his lips to mine. For just a blink, I relish it, but then my brain course corrects, and I push him back with a shove, wiping my lips. My heart feels like it’s in my throat.

He doesn’t attempt to pull me closer, instead he practically growls his next words. “You tempt me every fucking day, so yeah, I needed seconds…but that’s it.”

Now I’m officially nauseous from this conversation. And pissed.

“Well, fuck you and your seconds, bossman,” I say through gritted teeth, and then I do something I’ll probably regret tomorrow.

I pick my clothes off the ground, clutch them to my chest, and waltz right out the door.

“Ava, put your fucking clothes on right now,” he barks, and I flip him off. My feet carry me to the end of the hall without turning back. His heavy footsteps come shortly after, as he spits more demands at me, but I’m done following his rules tonight. I don’t even hear a word he’s saying as I focus on getting the hell out of here.
