He watched my face. “It’s okay. You can let go with me. I’ve got you.”
Sweat collected at my temples and my heart thundered. He stood, holding his tie out of the way as he leaned over to kiss me, and I tasted myself for the first time. I’d never felt more desperate for his kiss. I’d never wanted anything more. The fact that he would do this for me—that he wanted to satisfy me in a way that Sean could never be bothered—meant everything.
With one hand, his sure fingers worked their magic between my thighs, and with the other he smoothed back my hair. “I’ve got you. You can trust me. You’re so beautiful. Every inch of you is perfection.”
His praise stoked my desperate need to come undone for him.
“Faster,” I whimpered.
He responded instantly, his expert fingers rubbing firmly where I needed him most as he analyzed my reactions. “Good girl. You’re doing so well.”
“Fuuuck… I just need more.” My fingers fisted into his shirt and I jerked him toward me. I needed to hear his voice. “Talk to me.”
“Do you know how much I’ve craved you?” His calm, considered words were hot against my ear. “You have no idea how badly I’ve longed to see you like this. I want to see you lose control. You can do that with me. It’s easy. I’m going to take care of you. Just let go.”
I sucked in a breath. It was easy. With Reece it was easy to let go. His poised, solid demeanor made me feel safe. He pressed his forehead to mine; his warm breath fanned my face. I gripped his shirt so hard my fingers burned. “Oh… I think… Oh… I’m going to… Oh… Don’t stop… Ah…”
The tension inside built to fever pitch. An elastic band about to snap. My breath came in high-pitched pants. A series of rough cries left my mouth and I bucked my hips against his hand, desperate for the friction. My backside lifted half off the couch in desperate, whimpering need. Still, he wouldn’t stop his relentless slippery massage.
More.
Reece moved back to the end of the couch. He bowed his head between my thighs and he replaced his fingers with his mouth. His eyes locked with mine as he sucked my clit, hard. The sensation was almost unbearable in its intensity. A cry left my mouth and I was too far gone to pleasure to bother trying to smother it. I raked my hands through his soft hair. Release exploded through me, sending rippling crests of euphoria racing through my body. I surrendered to the mastery of his tongue and it was like diving into the deepest, clearest lake and finding that I’d been waiting my whole life to take the plunge. Delicious waves of satisfaction carried me away. Reece’s dark eyes were my only tether as I lost myself in the explosion of pleasure.
He kept working until he’d wrung every last quiver from me. I collapsed back, savoring, shuddering, trying to come back to my senses. Tingling aftershocks sparked from the base of my spine to the soles of my feet. My panting filled the silent office. Reece watched my face with an expression of fascinated awe, like a scientist who has just made a paradigm-shifting discovery. He’d changed everything. The small smug smile on his full lips told me he knew it.
“Oh my God.” I sat up, dazed and half-drunk with pleasure. “I’m pretty sure they didn’t teach you that at Cambridge.”
“No.” His brow quirked a fraction, and he raked a hand through his dark hair. “That kind of thing is extracurricular.”
Chapter 24
Reece
The city flashed by outside in a blaze of bright lights in the darkness. Skylar’s scent of grass and mud filled my car. I had to stop my gaze from drifting down to her muddy football boots and the mess they made in the passenger seat footwell. My hands tensed around the steering wheel and I tried to breathe through it. What would Laurel say? A little bit of mess doesn’t matter. I could clean it once I’d dropped her at Gabe’s hotel. The scrape of the windscreen wipers filled my ears. We’d hardly spoken since I’d offered her a ride. My stomach churned. This had gone too far.
She stretched her arms above her head languorously. Huskiness still lingered in her tone. “I want you to take me out on a date.”
“A date?”
“We’ve never been on a date. I want you to take me out to dinner.”
A date? God. What the hell had I done? What did she think was going to happen between us? We couldn’t have a normal relationship. I couldn’t date a client. I shouldn’t have done any of this stuff with somebody I’d been trying to help.
I cleared my throat. “We have a therapeutic relationship. None of this should have happened.”
“Well, now we have a relationship based around bone-melting orgasms. If you think I’m not going to pursue this after what just happened between us, you can think again.”
A muscle jumped in my jaw. No. We couldn’t keep going with this. I’d wanted to show her that there was nothing wrong with her. Now she was free to pursue a relationship with someone better than Sean Wallace.
“Nothing has changed. We can’t see each other outside of my office.”
She laughed and it came out hollow. “Nothing has changed? Everything has changed. Unless you normally get women off on your couch as part of your process.”
A ball of ice swirled in my stomach. “Enough now. We have to stop. I want what’s best for you.”
“And what if you’re best for me? I like you, Reece. I like you a lot. I know you’re panicking and backpedaling, wishing it hadn’t happened. But I don’t wish that it hadn’t. Meeting you is the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time. You’re not like anyone I’ve ever met. You’re kind and you’re clever and funny. You listen to me. And you gave me the best orgasm of my life. I’m not letting you get rid of me so easily.”
My heart beat a drum in my chest. I wanted to help Skylar, not add to her problems. It wasn’t even true. I didn’t want to get rid of her. I wanted her more than ever. Did she think this was easy for me? It wasn’t. Even if we kept things a secret, I knew what we were doing. How could I look myself in the eye knowing how I’d compromised my ethical standards? It was damaging for Skylar, too, if it was making her feel like this. She wasn’t fucking up. I was.
