Jesse was trying to put the conversation with this dad out of his mind. He wanted to enjoy his weekend with Cassie and that wasn’t going to happen if he continued to dwell on the shit show he was uncovering. That, and he needed to get to the bottom of Cassie’s hesitation regarding her family. He couldn’t fix something he didn’t understand.
He opened the passenger door and offered her his hand. She took it and stood. Her heels brought her head to his eye level, so she didn’t need to raise her gaze very far to meet his. She’d turned his jacket so it hung from her shoulders and wrapped around her like a blanket.
Her pupils darkened and the air around them began to spark. She swayed toward him as if drawn by some unseen force. It was always like this with her. He felt this pull deep in his gut, the urge to possess every part of her surging through his veins.
They were alone in the parking garage, and it had been more than twelve hours since he’d felt her mouth on his. He closed the distance between them and kissed her.
Cassie melted into him, her fingers gripping the front of his dress shirt as his tongue played with hers. He wanted to forget all sense and bury himself deep inside her. But he didn’t want someone to catch them. Or worse yet, for it to be caught on surveillance video and be leaked to the press.
While his family wasn’t known for making headlines outside of the occasional mention in the business section, the last thing they needed right now was any type of focused attention. If Jesse’s instincts were right, and he had no reason to doubt them, someone had been skimming off profits from the company. Once he found out the source and how deep the corruption went, it would be hard to keep it under wraps.
“What’s wrong?” Cassie’s whispered words brought him back to the present.
“We should get upstairs before we do something indecent.”
She frowned.
Jesse sighed and began moving them toward the elevator. “It’s nothing to worry about. Not yet, at least.”
“Does it have to do with work?”
“Yes.”
She circled her arms around his waist and hugged him as they rode the elevator to his floor. Having her with him, knowing she provided refuge from the piles of paperwork that never seemed to end, had him wanting to forgo the conversation he knew they needed to have. All he wanted to do was take her to his bed, strip her down, and lay her out on his mattress.
But the logical part of his brain knew better.
Once they were inside his condo, she removed his jacket and went to hand it to him. She froze. “We forgot my bag in the car.”
He’d been so focused on getting her upstairs that he’d forgotten her overnight bag. “Make yourself comfortable. I’ll get it.”
Giving her a quick kiss, Jesse headed downstairs. He grabbed her bag from the car and hopped back on the elevator.
The living room was empty when he reentered the condo, and the only light was coming from the large windows on the far wall. He dropped her bag on the couch and went to find her.
Jesse was halfway down the hall when the door to the bathroom opened. Cassie walked out in nothing but her bra, panties, and stockings. His cock responded without any consideration of his intentions.
She saw him and smiled. “You’re back.”
Jesse stalked toward her. His only thought was to get his hands on her. He backed her against the wall and kissed her.
Cassie didn’t miss a beat. She kissed him back, meeting every stroke of his tongue with one of her own. Her hands went to his hair as she tried to climb his body.
A low growl emerged from deep in his chest as he positioned her leg around his waist, opening her to him. He dug his fingers into her ass as he ground his erection against her pussy. “So fucking sexy.”
He dipped a finger beneath the hem of her panties, seeking the wetness he knew he would find. She was swollen and oh so wet. He slipped a finger inside. By the way she was responding, he knew it wouldn’t take much to get her off. Hell, it wouldn’t take much to get him off.
A little voice in the back of his head was attempting to remind him they needed to talk, but he couldn’t, for the life of him, remember what about. The only thing dominating his thoughts was figuring out how many times he wanted to make her come before he found his own release.
Cassie lifted herself up on her toes, shifting their position and causing his finger to brush against her clit. She sucked in a breath, and he felt a vibration go through her.
Deciding he didn’t want to wait, he used his free hand to unbuckle his belt and unfasten his slacks. She was his all weekend. He’d have time to play with her later.
Once his erection was free, he lifted her. He used the wall as support and impaled her on his cock.
She didn’t miss a beat, kissing him back with fierce passion. He wanted to devour her and from her response, she wanted to do the same to him.
