Page 57 of Someone Like You

“What are you doing?” I murmured as I pushed him back down.

He typed out something on his phone with one hand while he wrapped the other arm around my waist. I kissed the side of his neck while my hand gripped his length, and I slid my hand up and down him. I smiled through my kisses as he grew in my hand.

“Here,” Casimir stated and tugged me away from his neck.

“Whaaat?” I moaned.

“Look at this,” he replied and thrust his phone at me.

“What’s this?”

“My health screening. Every executive member of the company, insured at a certain level with life insurance, has to undergo annual screenings, which include drug, alcohol, and sexual health screenings. I just had mine three weeks ago. I haven’t been with anyone since. It’s actually been months since I had sex.”

My heart stilled in my chest. For a moment, I hadn’t even considered a condom. All I wanted was Casimir buried inside of me. Did he have that much power over me? Or was I that desperate? Possibly both. I was mortified that I hadn’t considered protecting myself against this man, who had only recently moved out from the home he shared with his ex-wife.

“I . . . I don’t have any recent screenings,” I revealed.

Casimir grabbed the sides of my face and covered my mouth with his before I could offer any further debates. He walked me backward, and I wondered where we were going as we moved beyond the coffee table.

Briefly, he cut off the kiss and stared into my eyes. “I don’t need your stats. I already know that you’re a good woman, Giselle.”

“My husband was the last man I was with,” I shared.

He kissed me again, lifted me, and lay me on the floor in front of the fireplace.

I stared up at him as he kneeled beside me. Casimir’s gaze took in my entire body in one full sweep before he slowly worked his eyes down again and basked in every part of me. My mouth parted before I bit my bottom lip, hoping, praying that he was happy with what he saw, with what he was getting.

He reached out a hand and smoothed it over my belly, pinched my thighs, and caressed my shins. His hands worked back up again, and he smoothed his hands over my shoulders before he positioned himself over me. With one hand planted on either side of my head, he stared down at me. He was in a plank position over me as he stared, and I suspected he was giving me time to change my mind.

“I want this, Cas. I want you.”

Those were the words he obviously had waited for. His head dipped as he slowly lowered his body over mine. His tongue extended to lick along the seam of my lips. I opened my mouth and allowed his tongue to sweetly and gently make love to mine.

We spoke a love language created by the two of us, one previously unknown to man. My hands slid up his arms and rested on his shoulders as I tugged to bring him closer to me. The pressure from the weight of his body made me feel not only covered but secured.

“I don’t want to crush you, baby,” he whispered in the crook of my neck as he licked me there and set my body on fire.

I lifted my back from the floor and moaned, “Casimir.”

His hands squeezed my hips before he parted my legs and made room for himself between them.

“Are you ready to receive me?”

“Yes,” I whispered.

“When I enter you, it will create an inseparable bond between us. A soul tie, if you will.” I nodded. “I don’t take these things lightly, Giselle. That means that I belong to you, and you belong to me.”

I nodded once more and wondered if I would regret it in the morning. But I wanted what I wanted and took what I needed as I reached between us and grabbed his erection. I dragged it between my folds. His brow furrowed as though he were in pain.

“You’re so wet and so hot.”

“For you,” I whispered.

This time, he was the one who nodded. He removed his arousal from my hand and slid it between my folds. When he sunk inside of me, I felt something explode in my chest.

“Cas,” I cried out as I rose to meet him.

He felt so perfect, so necessary, and so right. He shifted, and I lifted. Our mouths came together to confirm the conversation that our bodies were engaged in. Large, warm hands touched my body in places that I hadn’t been touched in a long time. His mouth pulled back from mine to kiss me in places I only dreamt about.
