Page 62 of Boss of Me
That’s the first thought that hits me when I wake up in the morning.
The second thing I register is that we’re still in bed together. His arm lays heavy across my waist, curled protectively around me as we spoon. His body is big and warm and solid as a rock, making me feel safer than I’ve ever felt in my life.
As a dreamy smile curves my lips, I slowly open my eyes. Sunlight streams into the room through a wall of windows facing the lake. The water glistens under a vivid blue sky, not a cloud in sight.
Last night was out of this world. I’ll never forget the things Gunner did to me with his mouth, his hands and his huge cock. He was wild and fierce, demanding and insatiable. I honestly didn’t know I could have so many orgasms. It was phenomenal.Hewas phenomenal.
But now, in the sober light of day, I can’t help wondering if I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life.
As I shift slightly under the covers, Gunner’s arm tightens, pulling me closer. I snuggle into his muscled heat, sighing a little. I ache in places I’ve never ached before, places I never even knew existed. But I’m definitely not complaining.
Gazing out the window, I wait for Gunner to break the silence.
“Penny for your thoughts,” he finally murmurs.
“Only a penny? From a billionaire?” Ipfftat him. “Cheap bastard.”
A deep rumble of laughter shakes his chest. “Jesus. Does that smart mouth ever rest?” With his arm still hooked around my waist, he rolls me over to face him.
I laugh, staring at him as he props himself up on his elbow. His eyes are slumberous, his jaw covered with dark stubble, his hair tousled and gorgeous. He looks so sexy my stomach flutters and my thighs clench.
“Good morning,” I half whisper.
“Mmm. Averygood morning.” He smiles with lazy contentment. “How’re you feeling?”
“Tired.” I grin. “And kinda hungry.”
His eyes gleam. “We worked up one hell of an appetite, didn’t we?”
I blush. “You could say that.”
He threads his fingers through my hair, stroking it back off my face as his eyes probe mine. “Any regrets?”
I hesitate a moment, then shake my head.
“Don’t lie to me.” His thumb smooths away the furrow between my eyebrows. “Tell me what you’re thinking.”
I hesitate again before admitting, “I don’t know how this is going to work. I mean, you’re my boss, Gunner. Sleeping together is going to complicate everything.”
He nods very slowly. “It might.”
“Might?”
“Yes, but it doesn’t have to.”
“How could it not?”
“If we set boundaries?—”
“How?” I exclaim. “How can we set boundaries when we’ve already crossed the biggest one of?—”
He silences me with a kiss, pressing me back against the pillows. I arch into him as he slowly rims my lips with his tongue, staring into my eyes. When he sucks my bottom lip between his teeth and bites down, I can’t help moaning.
He kisses me until I’m breathless, until all my resistance has melted away. Softly nuzzling my jaw, he draws my leg over his thigh, causing the tips of my breasts to brush his hard chest. Tingles shoot through my body like heat lightning, bringing a warm flush to every inch of my skin.
He gazes down at me, tracing my swollen lips with the pad of his thumb. “Do you like it here?”
I blink dazedly. “What?”
