“That’s what I like to see.” I stabbed at the button for the top floor as the doors rushed closed. “You look like a woman with a secret, and I’m the only man who knows what put it there.” I slipped my fingers under the hem of her dress. Arousal was coursing down her thighs already, and the pad of my finger found the tight bud of her clit and swirled with deft pressure.
Her little hands clutched at my suit coat, tiny whimpers falling from her lips as her thighs spread slightly.
“I want to sink my cock into you right in this elevator.” I growled, pushing her against the cool mirror at her back and fisting her hair.
“Don’t tease me.” She panted, one thigh already hitched around my waist, her fingers clutching my shoulders as though she was desperate to ride me.
I glanced back at the panel of golden numbers and registered that we were on the fourth floor with thirty-seven more floors to go. I’d never been so goddamn thankful for the slow elevator showing up before the fast one.
“I’m a man of my word, Ellis.” I pulled the zipper on my pants, freeing the hot flesh of my rock-hard cock.
She sucked in a breath when she caught a glimpse of it, throbbing and hard between us.
“I’ve never been so fucking hard. That’s for you, baby.”
Gripping her thighs, I hoisted her around my waist and, without warning, slid my cock straight into the damp heat of her beautiful cunt. “You’re so fucking beautiful. I look in your eyes, and I see everything.”
Her lips met mine in a crushing kiss, my hips thrusting into her so fiercely her body slid up the cool glass of the floor-to-ceiling mirrors surrounding us.
“Look at us.” I caught her attention. “Look at your beautiful face while you’re impaled on my cock.”
“It’s…” Her eyes grew wide, taking in our reflection. My dark pants were around my knees, her dress riding around her waist as I fucked her in deep, reckless strokes.
“We’re fucking something.” I grunted before catching her lips between my teeth and fucking her faster, pushing one palm behind her back and sliding my fingers along the heavenly crack of her ass cheeks.
“Oh God.” She jerked when my fingertip massaged at the tender bud of her ass.
“I can’t wait to have your beautiful ass wrapped around my cock.”
“Tobias…” She moaned.
I fingered at the tight muscle, probing the tender flesh as her pussy tightened around me.
“You like the thought of riding my dick, pretty girl? Your pussy is dripping. I think that means you do.” I moved my thumb to her clit and pinched softly before her pussy burst off in pulsing waves, sucking and massaging my cock inside her hot body.
“Fuck, Ellis…”
My orgasm burned through me, crashing in frantic torrents and sending stars dancing across my vision. I collapsed against her, holding her safely and resting my damp forehead against the cool mirror.
“Oh my God,” she murmured, her lips tickling the fine hair on my neck and sending more waves of pleasure coursing through me. “That was the best sex I’ve ever had.”
I chuckled, unable to help myself, before slowly pulling out of her sweet, wet heat and letting her slide slowly to her feet. “To be honest, considering it’s only your second time, I don’t think the bar is too high yet.”
Ellis giggled, her cheeks still pink from my cock defiling her in all the beautiful ways I’d been dreaming of. “I guess I have to get a lot of practice then.”
I laughed, pulling the zipper up on my pants just as the elevator came to a slow stop. “I’ve got my work cut out for me.”
I pulled Ellis against me, planting a kiss on the top of her head before the doors slid open and the neighbor I shared the top floor with nodded at us.
His gaze landed at Ellis’s and my hands locked together before he averted his eyes.
“Evening, Larry.”
The old man nodded swiftly, waiting for us to pass before stepping into the elevator and punching the button.
“You think he can smell the sex in there?”
“Tobias!” My girl shrieked, slapping my arm before bursting into a fit of giggles when the elevator doors slid closed. “You’re so dirty.”
“Yeah.” We strode down the long hall, hands locked again. “But something tells me you like me dirty.”
Her pretty face turned down in an adorable frown. “I plead the Fifth.”
“You would.” I grinned, stopping at the door at the end of the hallway and waving my card in front of the lock.
“What does that mean?” Ellis replied before her mouth dropped open as we stepped into my penthouse suite overlooking the Chicago River and all of downtown. “This is where you live?”
“Been here for a year now. I custom designed all of it. The windows.” I gestured toward the floor-to-ceiling windows that lined the entire sunken living space. “Kitchen.”
She walked across the dining room and into the state-of-the-art kitchen.
“This is beautiful.”
“Thank you.” I itched to tell her that I hoped one day she’d live here with me. She would fit in so perfectly. And if she wanted to remodel the entire damn place, I’d let her do that too.
“How many bedrooms is it?” She tilted her head, looking down the hallway.
“Four. Plus a library. Three and a half bathrooms. Why is this all of a sudden sounding like a real estate deal?” I threaded our fingers together and pulled her against me. “Enough with talking shop. I want to get you undressed.”
Ellis’s sweet smile deepened before she pulled away. “You’ve got a library?”
I laughed, nodding before flicking on the light and pointing down the hall. “First door on the right. I'll get dinner started.”
“You’re cooking dinner?”
“Cooking, heating up, something like that.” I shrugged out of my coat, watching her eye me in my home. I loved having her here.
“I can’t wait to sample the culinary skills that come out of this kitchen.”
“Trust me, it’s hardly used.” I pulled a heavy tray of prepared food from the fridge and set it on the oven. Then turned, surprised to find Ellis hovering right behind me, her silky hair falling in waves over one shoulder, her scent crawling up my skin and lighting me on fucking fire.
“I’m so glad you’re here.” I murmured, cupping her neck in my palm and murmuring against her lips.
“I’m so glad you invited me.” Both of her palms snaked up my chest, cool fingertips landing at the hot skin of my neck and leaving something akin to her own searing brand. I’d yearn for Ellis’ touch every day for the rest of my life. “I’ve never been very good at trusting people. My parents were so good, so kind and gentle... I grew up sheltered to the evil things in this world.” She paused, eyes burning up at me. “I trusted too much when I was young. I know this sounds silly, but I was with my high school boyfriend for two years before he dumped me out of the blue one day to and started dating the captain of the cheer squad. Everyone said she put out, that’s why he wanted to date her, but it didn’t matter. It hurt. I’m so glad I didn’t give in to him the times he tried to push me into sex. Imagine if I’d given my virginity to an asshole like that.”
Ellis stopped, clamping down on her lip in that adorable way she did, as if desperate to keep any more secrets from tumbling out.
“Hey,” I clasped her hands in mine and brought them between us. “I’ll never take advantage of your heart.” I rested my palm over her chest where her heart thundered erratically. The rhythm matched my own. “I know how precious it is.”
Ellis’ eyes lit up before she pressed her lips against mine in a slow, soul-binding kiss. Our hearts were wound together, and breaking hers would only shatter mine. I could never, and would never, give her any reason to cry over me.
I wanted her happiness.
I wanted her laughter and her smiles.
I wanted her heart every day of forever.
“I trust you, Tobias.” She breathed against
my lips, making my heart swell a little fucking bigger than it already was. “I trust you with my heart.”
Her words swept the breath from my lungs. She’d caged her heart just like I had my own long ago, and now here she was letting me in. I couldn’t have loved her when I was younger, fighting to make it on the streets or fighting to drive my company to the top. But I could love her now. I could love her with every fiber of my soul. In that moment, I knew I wanted all my lasts to be with her.
Ellis swiped at a soft tear on her cheek before sniffing. “Enough of the heavy stuff. I’m starving, and I hope you’ve got something to drink in this big, empty kitchen.”
Her radiant smile was back, stealing all my heartbeats. My eyes had seen many priceless things in my life, but nothing was as cherished as her.
“Let’s check out the library. I’ll throw this stuff in the oven and pour us some wine.”
Ellis’s eyes flicked from me to the windows then back to the kitchen. A small smile tipped her lips, something genuine and content that warmed me from the inside out. She finally whispered, “You’re kind of incredible, you know that?”
I pulled a bottle of vintage merlot from the built-in, shaking my head. “I think you’re the first person to say that.”
“Well”—Ellis’s hand brushed across my chest, fingering at my collar before she slid the pad of her thumb across my lips—“I’m saying it. You’re an incredible man, Tobias Banger. Your parents must be so proud.”
My stomach turned to cement at her last words. I sucked in a quick breath, fumbling with the wine. I hated the reminder of my past. Like a cancer, it haunted me, and now that Banger Enterprises was joining the world marketplace, more and more reporters digging into my past were coming out of the woodwork. I’d have to face them all eventually, but tonight, I was determined to show Ellis a good time.
Determined to own her.
Determined to set her free.
Chapter 12
Ellis
Red wine warmed my throat as Tobias’s hands set fire to my skin. “Thank you for dinner. I didn’t expect your reheating skills to be so on point.”
Tobias chuckled as his hands dipped below my waist and into the crystal-clear water of the heated infinity pool on his rooftop. Tonight had been a dream, and we weren't even close to being done yet.
“This swimsuit fits you like it was made for you.” He slipped a finger under the strap at my hip that held the creamy white fabric together.
“You’re too generous. I could have brought my own.”
“I wanted one for you to keep here. Stopping at La Perla for you was a pleasure.” He pulled the tie at my waist. “I picked up a few strappier items too.”
My pussy hummed as the fabric fell from my hips. Water surged between my thighs as Tobias pressed himself between them.
“I don’t know why you bother spending the money. You have a tendency to undress me just as soon as I get clothes on.” I teased and hooked my legs around his waist, riding the ridge of his heavy cock and shuddering in a torrent of sensation.
“I like unwrapping you.” His lips burned against my skin as his fingers pushed between my slick folds and slid into my body.
I sucked in labored breaths and clutched at his tousled hair.
“I like making you purr.” His thumb swirled, his fingers hooking inside me and hitting a delicious bundle deep inside my body. “I like making you mine.”
“Tobias.” A slow orgasm rolled through me, my body warm and relaxed as he sucked at my earlobe and his cock fucked me through the fabric of his trunks.
“Tell me what you want,” he whispered as he untied the other strap of my bottoms and tossed the suit behind him in the water. His hands were at my breasts, pulling them from the cups of my suit, and he sucked a nipple between his lips.
I moaned, arching and digging against him, anxious to feel him buried deep.
“I want you… everywhere.”
My words launched him into action. His hands tugged down his trunks, revealing his beautiful thick cock. He fisted the flesh at the root and lined up the tip, sliding it between my pussy’s lips before inching in with agonizing slowness. I groaned as my body stretched around him, nerves burning up my skin and tensing my muscles until he was seated deeply at my womb, his cock twitching and throbbing inside me as he held steady.
“Fuck me, Tobias,” I whispered, pleading.
“Mm…” His hands fisted at my hips, clutching so tightly I hoped he’d leave bruises. I wanted to wear his mark on my skin. He was already imprinted on my heart like a tattoo, so why not show the world his brand too? “I could fuck you every day for the rest of our lives, and it still wouldn’t be enough time with you.”
Tobias’s lips crashed against mine, sucking my bottom lip between his teeth before he spun me around, wrapped his palm up in my hair, and yanked my head back to him.
“I’m taking every piece of you tonight.” His tongue trailed up the arch of my neck before he sucked on my earlobe tenderly. “You ready for me?”
I nodded quickly, unable to form words.
“You gotta tell me, sweetheart. Say the words.” He pulled a small dark bottle from where it’d been sitting on the towels and pressed it between us.
“I…” I struggled for words. “Take me. Take all of me, Tobias. I’m yours.”
A low groan rumbled from his broad chest. “You’re just what I need.” His lips caught mine in a soft, probing kiss before he pulled away again. “I’m going to lube you up first, baby. I want this to feel good for both of us.”
He flipped the cap on the bottle and squirted a generous amount of liquid into his palm before he tossed the bottle back onto the towel and slid his palm into the water, his gaze hovering on mine, dark and inviting.
I sighed when his lubricated fingers pressed against my heated flesh, probing my back entrance and preparing my body to take him. With his other hand tightening in my hair, he twisted my neck and landed his lips on mine, pounding his tongue into my mouth and fucking me in the way only he could.
“You’re mine forever, sweetheart.” He nudged his cock between my cheeks, the tip pressing at the tight ring of muscle. His heavy erection pressed against my ass, my body relaxing as the warm water pulsed and pushed around us, easing my muscles and loosening my nerves.
Tobias’s hand dropped between us. One long finger pressed at the bud before he applied pressure, swirled, and massaged, then applied more pressure.
“Oh God.” I groaned and arched against him, desperate for more of that delicious feeling.
“Slow, baby.” His words were like honey. “We've got time.”
He eased one finger inside, burying it in my body up to the first knuckle before he paused, waiting for my body to acclimate to his intrusion.
“More,” I said, wiggling my ass again.
I could almost hear the grin in his voice. “Eager, huh?”
He pushed the finger in a little farther, taking the time to move slowly and massage as he went, relaxing my muscles further. Gone was the small pinch of pain, and I was flooded by overwhelming, mind-bending pleasure.
“I’ve been waiting my whole life for you. I’m so ready for everything you have.”
Tobias’s finger sank another knuckle deeper, my hips squirming on instinct and my craving for him increasing with every gasping breath. His broad chest grazed my back as he caged me beneath his broad body. “That’s what I like to hear when I’m taking this beautiful ass for the first time.”
Tobias’s other hand snaked under my body. His fingers kneaded at the flesh of my breast in furious strokes. His thumb grazed my nipples as he added a second finger to my bottom, stretching the muscles farther than I thought they could ever pleasurably go. I arched and hummed, pushing back against his hand, loving the way his palms owned all the sacred parts of me.
“You’re everything to me, Ellis,” he said softly before his fingers were gone and his cock was slick and nudging at my back entrance.
One of his
hands slid between my thighs from the front and swirled at my clit before sliding three fingers deep in my pussy as the tip of his dick pressed harder at my ass. He wrapped a palm around my neck and turned my head to meet his lips. His tongue slipped into my mouth just as the tip of his cock breached the sensitive muscles. I gasped, his talented mouth catching my breath and breathing life into me. His cock inched more slowly into me, the hand at my neck falling to my back then gripping at the rounded cheek of my ass, kneading the muscles and relaxing my body to his steely intrusion.
“Tobias…” The word slipped out of my mouth, my eyes darting closed as I enjoyed the full sensation of his cock filling my ass. My nerves hummed in waves of euphoric pleasure.
I gripped the edge of the pool, my fingertips pressed against the rough tile as Tobias’s lips attached to the base of my neck. He sprayed loving kisses as far as his lips could reach before his hand returned to my clit and his thrusting sped up. His hips slapped frantically against my ass, water splashing in erotic waves around us that only took these incredible feelings to a new level of sublime.
“Look up, sweetheart.” His palm urged my chin gently up.
My eyes slid open slowly, as if I were drugged and too blissed out to care, and focused on the city lit up in a riot of light below us. Looking out over rooftops, dark skyscrapers, and the pulse of the city, Tobias Banger claimed every last piece of me.
“All of it is ours. We’re unstoppable together.” His honeyed voice sliced through the haze in my mind, his fingers melding softly to my clit as bursts of sunlight exploded behind my eyes.
My oxygen-starved lungs gasped as my muscles bunched and spasmed, waves of pleasure crashing over me, taking me under, sweeping me away.
Tobias’s lips met mine, his tongue fucking my mouth as his hands gripped my hips and his muscles clenched in violent shudders. His chest slammed against mine, our hearts beating a frantic rhythm as fierce waves of blinding sensation overtook us.
My muscles loosened, my body soft and languid beneath him, before I felt the curve of his arms around my body, tucking me close. Along with the delicious fulfillment of his cock still buried deep inside my body, his heartbeat reached into the deepest, darkest places of my soul.
