“You won’t. I want you to do this. I’m ready.”

“Hold on, baby.”

His strokes were harder and shorter. Her fingers curled into her palms as her body tingled with the unknown.

Angie used her knees and rose, meeting him on his downward thrusts. She never knew anal sex could feel so good. Her pussy clenched. Jared shifted and then his fingers were at her clit.

Her orgasm roared through her like a freight train, and she screamed his name. Jared wasn’t far behind, and he shouted her name. His body trembled above hers as he climaxed. They collapsed against the wedge.

Jared’s lips caressed her ear. “You are so beautiful, so damn sexy.” He lifted his body off of her and popped out of her ass.

She was wasted and had no idea if she could move or not. Jared climbed off the bed, and she assumed he disposed of the condom. They next thing she knew, he lifted her off the wedge, and it was pushed away. Then she was in his arms, lying against his chest.

Her entire body throbbed with his loving. She took a deep breath and let it out. Her ear was against his chest, and she could hear his unsteady heartbeat. He’d been as affected as she had. She smiled. They’d both gotten their pleasure, and while she’d come more than he had, she had no doubt in her mind that he was happy.

It was too bad they had so little time left together, because Jared had spoiled her for other men.

Chapter Nine

Jaredsurveyedhishandiworkon the back porch the next morning. The loungers were set up, food laid out, now all he needed was Angie. They only had a few days left and then she’d leave. He wanted her to stay. A first for him. When he made this agreement with her, he never expected to find a woman who would relish his control. He walked into the kitchen and poured her a cup of coffee.

As he mounted the stairs to wake her, he realized he didn’t know a lot about her life. Today, he would fix that.

Angie had to have her morning coffee, and he had no problem taking it to her. Inside her bedroom, he crossed to the bed and waved the coffee under her nose. She stretched but didn’t open her eyes.

“Morning, sweetness.” He brushed a kiss over her soft lips.

“Morning.” Her eyes opened and she pushed herself up as he straightened. He placed the mug in her outstretched hand.

“Mmm,” she purred as she blew on the coffee before taking a sip. “I love waking up this way.”

Jared’s heart leapt. Love. The word echoed in his head. Women had told them they loved him before, only to walk away when they couldn’t handle his brand of sex. But Angie was different, he reminded himself. The past week and a half told him that. She didn’t balk at anything he wanted to try.

There were only a few things she refused to do a second time. One was using the cane; she agreed to try it, but after two swats, she’d called outyellow, telling him she wasn’t into that kind of pain for pleasure. The other was being restrained on the kneeler. When she calledyellowagain, they’d had a long talk. She finally explained that it made her feel too vulnerable, too helpless. Jared understood, and he admired her honesty with him. That’s what relationships were about.

Is that what I have with Angie? A relationship?It had been way more than sex. They’d worked together in his office, ate most of their meals together. Heck, he took her morning coffee more often than not.

Jared pushed those thoughts away. He’d think on it another day when his head was clearer.

“Your eyes are sparkling,” Angie remarked. “What do you have planned for today?”

“Some fun.”

Her mug was almost empty. He really must have been lost in his thoughts. He held his hand out to her as she placed her cup on the nightstand. “Go shower while I find the right clothes for you.”

Angie groaned as he pulled her to her feet. “Nothing too revealing, please. We almost gave that construction worker a heart attack.”

Jared slapped her ass as she walked by. “Yeah.” They’d been playing outside when one of the workers stumbled upon them. The worker had taken a wrong turn and ended up at the back of the ranch house. The kid, barely twenty-one, babbled out his apologies, then tripped over his own feet trying to get away.

Later, the construction manager apologized to Jared and Angie for the accident and promised none of the workers would come close to the ranch house again. Angie thanked him, but her face was flushed the entire time.

Jared didn’t blame her, but the outfit hadn’t been that revealing, nothing the worker wouldn’t have seen at the beach.

A topless beach.

Jared had spent the afternoon with Angie, assuring her that the kid wasn’t traumatized and making sure she wasn’t upset.

Going over to her closet, he pulled out a colorful skirt and a white T-shirt. Then he ran to the playroom and pulled out the toys he wanted her to wear today. When he returned, she was walking into the bedroom, staring at the clothes on the bed.
