“Care to share what it is?” he said in a low growl.
She swallowed and gathered her wits about her. “Your urgent business at the zoo that day? Were you able to take care of it satisfactorily?”
“Satisfactorily? No. Far from it,” he said, his eyes dropping to her lips. “All I managed to do was feed the fire.”
“Kiss me.” Her breaths came in short puffs.
“No.”
“No?” Her shock overshadowed her hurt at his rejection. He was trembling in front of her, his eyes near manic. He wanted her as much as she wanted him. “Why ever not?”
“We work together. You have built up this image of yourself as the untouchable ice queen. If word gets out that we’ve slept together, it could taint your image. This industry is brutal. They would use any weakness to undermine you.”
“Who said anything about sleeping together?” Jihae said with exaggerated surprise. “I thought we could make out a few more times, and maybe have some oral fun. You’re getting way ahead of yourself.”
Colin looked at her like he wanted to rip off her clothes and take her against the wall twice. Jihae sucked in a quick breath and continued, “Besides, there’s no reason anyone needs to know. We’re both intelligent adults. I’m sure the two of us will find a way to keep whatever we do completely discreet.”
“Don’t do this,” he said, his eyes pleading. He was almost hers. “You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into.”
“I always know what I’m getting myself into.” She closed the distance between them and tugged him roughly by his collar. “And just to make myself clear, I’m doing this. Very thoroughly.”
She crushed her lips against him and moaned in relief when Colin met her lips with possessive heat. She’d been dreaming of kissing him again and she wasn’t going to waste any time. She parted her lips and slid her tongue against his bottom lip, then lightly bit it.
“God,” he moaned.
When he opened up as she’d wanted, Jihae took full advantage of the situation and plunged her tongue inside the warmth of his mouth. He groaned deep in his throat and the last of his reserve seemed to shatter. He spread his hands wide against her back and brought her flush against his body. Then he overtook the languid sweeping of her tongue and plunged his into her mouth again and again.
She whimpered and pressed her hips into him, needing to be closer, and felt his hard length dig into her pelvis. Satisfaction flooded her and she was gripped by power. With fumbling hands, Jihae pulled his shirt out of his slacks then smoothed her palms over the firm ridges of his stomach and slid them up to his broad chest. He jerked beneath her hands and ground his hips into her. She couldn’t help it. A low, sultry laugh escaped from her lips. She was high on the power she held over him.
“You like that, do you?” His voice held a hint of danger, and a thrill ran down her spine.
“Oh, yes. Very much.”
He groaned in answer and spun her to press her back against a wall. His hands slipped to her bottom and squeezed, and her eyes nearly rolled back in her head.
“Colin.”
“Jihae. You’re so beautiful.”
He hiked her leg around his waist, and rocked his hips against her center, making her moan low and long. Colin clapped a hand over her mouth, and kissed a trail of fire down the side of her neck. The hand that had been holding her hip released its hold, and came to rest right below her breast. His thumb moved slowly back and forth on the bottom curve and she arched her back, giving him permission to explore farther.
“Shh,” he warned before removing his hand from her mouth.
Returning his left hand to tightly secure her leg around his waist, he worked his right hand under her top. He smoothed his hand across her stomach, reclaimed her lips and murmured words of sweet adoration against them. With excruciating gentleness, he slid his hand up, cupped her breast and twirled his thumb over the lace of her bra.
She wiggled against him and pushed into his hand. With a sexy, arrogant laugh, he bent his head and licked the mound above the bra like it was the most decadent scoop of ice cream. She shivered against him with a lusty sigh as he continued to torture her. Unable to handle any more, she reached to tug down her bra and thrust her peak against his lips.
With a guttural groan, Colin succumbed to her will and tasted her nipple, twirling his tongue around it and pulling it deeply into his mouth.
“Colin,” she whimpered as her frantic hands reached for his belt. She needed him inside her. Now.
Colin was so turned on he could hardly see straight. Her creamy, pink-tipped breasts tasted as sweet as honey, and her skin slid beneath his hands like warm silk. He was so hard that it almost hurt, and when she cried out his name, he thought he was going to lose it in his pants.
He was so lost in her that it didn’t register in his brain what her hands were doing. When she freed his belt and unbuttoned the top of his pants, he finally understood. For a split second, he wanted to succumb to her siren’s call. He was dying to feel her soft, warm hand on his aching dick. Then he remembered why he shouldn’t kiss her, much less make love to her.
“Don’t,” he ordered in a ragged voice, grasping her wrists to stop her from going any farther. She stilled at his command, her whole body going stiff against his. He mourned the loss of the languid warmth of her aroused body. But no. He couldn’t do this. He shouldn’t. “We need to stop.”
Slowly, he righted her bra and tugged down her shirt to cover her glorious bare skin. Then he stepped back, tucked his shirt into his slacks and buckled his belt. He couldn’t meet Jihae’s eyes. He hadn’t meant for things to go so far, but when she’d walked into his office, he knew he was going to kiss her. Her boldness and sweet vulnerability were his undoing. But now, he’d pushed her away, and the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her.
