Davis, Lexie - Tempted (Siren Publishing Classic)

  He leaned forward to lick the valley between her breasts. A soft noise of delight left her lips as he made his way to her neck. Sean’s lips were perfect for kissing, perfect for sampling her body, heightening her desire. She clutched his shoulders and pulled him to her, finding his mouth and kissing him. He pushed her back against the couch, sliding his hands to her hips to tug at her jogging shorts.

  He pulled back long enough to remove them from her legs and settled in again, brushing his thumb along her slit. “You are, without a doubt, the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen.”

  Ali froze as he kissed her inner thigh, taking in his words. No one had ever called her sexy. She closed her eyes when his tongue brushed against her. Her heart pounded in her chest as it swirled over her clit. She gasped when two of his fingers filled her, pumping inside. Her hand went blindly to his head, fisting her fingers in the silky locks of his hair. He didn’t tease her like she had done to him. He gave her just the right stimulation to send her spiraling into an earth-shaking climax.

  When he lifted his head, he grinned. “What do you say we take this to the bedroom?”

  Chapter Five

  When Ali woke the next morning, she was alone. She yawned and stretched and tried her best to come alive. Sean entered the room with a wooden tray, wearing a business suit and green dress shirt with a matching tie.

  “Good morning, sleepy head.” He set the tray on his side of the bed. “I have to leave in a few minutes, so I’m giving you a key to lock up when you get ready to go.”

  She nodded and sat up to investigate the tray full of food. “You cooked me breakfast?”

  “Yeah.” He leaned down to kiss her forehead. “And you get to eat in bed.”

  She smiled and tucked the sheets beneath her arms. He pulled out his wallet and tossed his business card on the edge of the tray. “I have a meeting this morning—hence the business suit—but I could probably sneak away early if you want to do something later on.”

  She picked up the card and read it. “Do you own the company?”

  “It’s a partnership run by a board of directors.” He stuffed his wallet in his back pocket. “I call a lot of the shots, though.”

  She stared at him. “You’re pretty hot in that suit. That green shirt looks good on you.”

  He glanced down at her breasts and groaned. “Don’t tell me that when you’re naked in my bed.”

  “I just made a statement.”

  He chuckled and kissed her. “I promise to feed you breakfast tomorrow. Maybe even eat fruit off your luscious body.” He kissed her again. “But I’m running late right now.”

  “Go.” She pushed him away, picking at the bowl of fruit he’d set to the side of her plate. “I’ll probably take a shower before I leave if that’s okay.”

  “That’s fine. Make sure to lock up.”

  “I will.” She bit into a strawberry. “Have fun at work.”

  He made a rude noise. “You know I will.”

  After he left, she ate her breakfast, cleaned up after herself, and decided to take a shower before she headed back to Nina’s beach house. The day she had planned was full of shopping—spending all her hard-earned money on whatever she wanted. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d set foot inside a mall and figured it was about time to stop saving and splurge a little. Okay, a lot.

  The day was beautiful. The sun shone bright with the faintest breeze keeping the temperature down from potentially scalding degrees. She changed into a hot pink jogging outfit armed with her credit cards and check book and headed to the nearest mall, about five miles away from Nina’s beach house. She entered the mall and hit the larger department stores first. Surprised to find a huge shoe sale, Ali spent the first thirty minutes trying different styles on and ended up purchasing three pairs. Then she bought outfits and handbags to match.

  “Chad, I need this outfit. You don’t understand what it’s like to have nothing to wear!”

  Ali glanced toward her right where she saw her ex standing with his pregnant fiancée. She watched as Melody pouted and stomped her foot like a two-year-old, begging Chad to buy her the ugliest outfit in the store. Ali didn’t have time to hide before Chad glanced up and spotted her across the aisle.

  “Alessandra?”

  Ali cringed. “Chad. What are you doing here?”

  “Melody’s family owns a beach house on the north side of town. What are you doing here?”

  “Vacationing.” She glanced over at Melody before focusing on Chad again.

  It was hard to believe she was—or thought she was—in love with the man. His eyes had crinkles around the corners as if worry and age had taken a toll on him. He was dressed in a pale yellow shirt and khaki pants, matching Melody’s summer dress. If it wasn’t so nauseating, she would have laughed.

  “Uh, I really need to go.” Ali moved past him. “I’ll see you at work.”

  She breathed a sigh of relief once she made it around the corner before Chad grabbed her arm and pulled her around to face him. For a moment, he simply stood there. Then, he leaned in. She was completely unprepared for the kiss he gave her. His lips were rough, moving over hers as he tried to coax her mouth open. Ali clamped her lips shut and pushed at his chest.

  “Chad!” Melody’s screechy voice broke them apart. “What are you doing?”

  Ali pulled away and brought her hand to her lips.

  “I miss you, Alessandra.” He tried to pull her closer as she moved away. “I made a mistake. Please take me back.”

  “Chad!” Melody stomped her foot.

  “My life is hell.” He swallowed, reaching for Ali’s hands. “I shouldn’t have left you. I shouldn’t have cheated.”

  “Chad!”

  Ali glanced around, noting the people that started to stare. She met Chad’s eyes and shook her head. “You made your bed. Now you have to lie in it.”

  She left him and his screeching girlfriend in the middle of the aisle as she went to check out. Her shopping trip was officially over. She dug in her purse for her credit card and found Sean’s business card beaming up at her. She wanted to see him. If for nothing else than to say hi.

  After collecting her bags, she climbed in her car and headed toward Sean’s work. It was completely ridiculous to physically need to see her lover, but Ali wanted his arms around her. She wanted to feel his touch, see his smile.

  She parked in front of his office building, biting her lower lip. He’d probably think she was completely insane for showing up unannounced. She hadn’t even processed what happened in the store with Chad yet. She pushed her sunglasses on top of her head and stared at the front door, afraid to move. Chad had kissed her. He’d apologized. He’d said he wanted her back. The thoughts roamed around in her mind, making her head spin.

  She reached for the door handle blindly and got out. In the back of her mind, she knew she should probably turn to Nina for the advice she needed. The cool air inside the building was a drastic contrast to the hot air outside. She stepped inside with her flip-flops flapping, heading to the front desk.

  “Hi, is Sean available?”

  The lady eyed her. “Just a moment.”

  She punched buttons on her phone while Ali waited. Yes, she had to be completely crazy for showing up at his work unannounced.

  “Mr. Graham will see you now.” She waved her hand in a classic Vanna White motion toward the only hallway.

  Ali nodded. Her stomach knotted as she stepped closer to his office. The place was busy, people running around everywhere. She hadn’t the slightest idea where she was supposed to go and followed the main hall toward a bunch of closed doors. Thankfully, one of them had Sean Graham’s name on it. She knocked.

  “Yeah?”

  Ali opened the door and stepped inside. “Can I bug you for a minute?”

  He lifted his gaze from his computer, spotted her, and smiled. “You can bug me for as long as you want.”

  She smiled, closing the door behind her. “I’m sorry I didn’t call first. I p
robably should have, but I went shopping and ran into someone unexpectedly.” She hesitated, uncertainty creeping over her as she watched him

  “Who did you run into?” He motioned her over, pushing back slightly from his desk.

  Ali came to him, settling on his lap. She bit her lip. “I ran into Chad.”

  He cupped the back of her head and pulled her toward him for a kiss. “Who’s Chad?”

  He stole her breath away, making her forget the previous thirty minutes with her ex. His hand skimmed her bare thigh. He set her body on fire and she couldn’t get enough of it.

  “Chad is my ex.” She pulled back long enough to gauge his reaction.

  “Did you tell him to fuck off?” Sean’s hand brushed along her leg.

  “No. He kissed me.” Sean paused. “He told me he wanted me back.”

  Sean pulled away and dropped his hand to the side. “Do you want him back?”

  “No.” She bit her lip. “It just shocked me. I didn’t expect him to admit he was wrong. I didn’t expect to have him say everything I wanted to hear and simply not care. I’m a little baffled.”

  Sean leaned back. “Are you okay?”

  She nodded. “I know it sounds bad, but I couldn’t help noticing how old he looked. I watched him briefly with his twenty-year-old girlfriend and I couldn’t help thinking of how much he looked like her father instead of her fiancé.”

  Sean wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against him. “We’re nothing like them.”

  She sat up and met his eyes. “You don’t think I look old?”

  He kissed her. “No. You don’t look old. You’re beautiful and sexy. I get hard thinking about your sweet little body beneath me. On top of me. I can still fill the way your pussy grips me when I make you come. It’s like you never want me to go. And to be honest, I never want to go.”

  She wrapped her arms around his neck. “You’re so charming.”

  He chuckled. His hand came back to her thigh, lightly caressing. “You’re beautiful, Ali.”

  Before, when a man told her that, she hadn’t believed it. Even now, she didn’t take his statement seriously, but the look in his eyes made her wonder. It made her think way too much about the possibilities of their future, even though she knew they had no future together.

  “A friend of mine owns a restaurant that specializes in salsa dancing and asked me to come by tonight. Care to join me?”

  “I can’t dance.”

  “Good, because neither can I.” He kissed her cheek. “He wanted me to try the food.”

  She smiled. “Fine. I bought a new outfit today. I could wear it tonight.”

  He cupped her cheeks and kissed her. “I can’t wait to see it.”

  * * * *

  Sean agreed to meet Ali at the restaurant instead of driving home to pick her up. He went inside and settled at the table while a fast Latin beat played in the background. People gathered on the dance floor in the middle of the room and danced to the beat. He watched, amazed at the sight.

  “Care to dance?”

  Sean turned and smiled when Ali stood before him dressed in a slinky, red, V-neck dress that accented her cleavage. Her hair was pulled back with a few tendrils framing her face. She was so beautiful, and he told her so.

  “Thank you.” She reached for his hand. “Come on. I’ll look like a fool, but I can’t simply sit in my seat with this song playing.”

  He let her lead him to the dance floor. Their bodies slid against each other as they danced. Ali swayed her hips and turned, giving him a great view of her backside. He wrapped an arm around her waist and held her close, letting her rub her ass against his cock. It was going to be a long night if he had to sit through dinner and dance with an erection as hard as a diamond.

  He pressed his face against her neck, moving along with her. He didn’t care if people watched. Ali was in his arms and the world seemed to drift away. She turned to face him, letting him spin her, and he pulled her back against his body. They laughed at one another, loving every minute of it. In the short time he had known her, he’d never seen her so happy. Even after the day she’d had with seeing her ex and the woman he’d knocked up, she was smiling and enjoying herself.

  He pulled her to him and whispered in her ear. “You’re beautiful when you smile.”

  Her lips tilted upwards. They danced through three songs until they were sweaty and exhausted. He’d lost his suit jacket along the way and rolled up his shirtsleeves. The room was indeed hot, as if the air conditioning had broken. Sweat dotted Ali’s skin, rolling down her neck, between her breasts. Sean eyed her, wishing at that moment they were in a more private place.

  “Let’s order something to eat. I’m hungry.” She grabbed both of his hands and led him back to their original table.

  “I’m hungry, too, but not for food.” Sean leaned down, tasting the saltiness of her skin as he pressed his lips to her shoulder.

  “Behave.” Ali ordered a large plate of nachos for the both of them. After the waiter left, she focused her attention on him and said, “I love this place.”

  He smiled. “I’m glad. Hopefully the food will be just as good.”

  She stared at him a moment. “What’s wrong? You’re extremely quiet.”

  Sean shrugged. “I’m tired. You wore me out on the dance floor.”

  She snorted. “Save your strength. You’ll need it later.”

  And she was right. As soon as they arrived home, they didn’t make it inside before she was in his arms, legs wrapped around his waist. He tried fishing for the right key to unlock the door, but his sultry vixen had her hand in his pants, making him forget his own name. He groaned when she squeezed him. He sat her on top of the car and settled between her thighs. She undid his belt and glided the zipper over the stiff bulge.

  “I need you inside me now, Sean.”

  Before she pushed his pants down, he grabbed the condom he’d stored in his pocket. He set it to the side, closing his eyes as she stroked him. With what little reason he had in his mind, he said, “We need to go inside.”

  “Why?” She kissed him. “It feels so good out here after being cooped up in that hot restaurant. I’m burning up and want nothing but the ocean air caressing my skin.” She gave him a devilish smile. “Well, that and you, of course.”

  He didn’t have to be convinced anymore. He pulled her forward and slid his hands up her thighs. She’d chosen not to wear panties and her smooth pussy was slick with her moisture. His fingers traced along her folds, dipping between to find her clit. She kissed him, mimicking with her tongue what he wanted to do with their bodies.

  “Fuck me, Sean,” she whispered against his wet lips. “I want you inside me now.”

  With one hand, Sean reached out blindly for the condom. He took care of the protection and positioned himself against her. Ali leaned back on her hands, lifting her hips slightly to rub herself against him. Sean clenched his jaw and gripped her hips, holding her while he pushed forward. His hands cupped her ass as her body accepted every inch of him.

  Her head dropped back. The dancing tonight had been foreplay. He’d realized it the moment Ali refused to dance with another person. He’d wanted her in his office. Hell, he’d thought about her every second of every day since he met her.

  Her pussy tightened around him, and she came without warning as he thrust inside her. What the hell was wrong with him? She cupped his cheeks and pulled his mouth against hers as his orgasm overtook him. Her body was so sweet, so soft, and he simply couldn’t get enough.

  “We probably need to go inside.” Ali pulled back and stared into his eyes. The bright moonlight cast a soft glow on her sweaty skin. “I’d really like a shower.”

  He smiled. “Yeah? I’d really like to get out of this suit.”

  They barely made it inside Sean’s house before Ali jumped him. They tumbled to the couch, struggling with clothing as Ali straddled him. She pulled her dress over her head before leaning down to kiss him again. He cupped her breasts as sh
e pulled at his shirt.

  “Please tell me you have condoms nearby.” Ali pulled his lip between her teeth as she undid his pants.

  “Bedroom.”

  Ali groaned. “Take your pants off while I get them.”

  She climbed off and practically ran toward the hall. Sean sucked in a breath then blew it out, trying to calm himself. The crotch of his black pants gleamed with her moisture. Sean chuckled to himself and took the remaining articles of clothing off. Ali came back with three condoms in hand.

  “Have we almost used up your supply?”

  He shook his head. “I have more.”

  Her eyebrow arched, though she didn’t say anything. She pulled a packet off and undid it. “Do you normally keep several boxes of condoms around…just in case?”

  She straddled him and rolled the protection on.

  “No.” He unhooked her bra. “Not normally. But I do believe in being prepared.”

  She smiled. “A regular boy scout, huh?”

  She positioned his cock at her entrance and sank down on him. Sean bit his lip, watching her face while she rode him. He reached out to pull her to him, tasting her sweet mouth again. He was a junkie with an addiction when it came to Ali, and he’d never get enough. Damn, she was a good fit for him.

  He brushed his hands down her back and cupped her ass. Ali ran her fingers through his hair and smashed her lips against his. She came hard, clenching his dick inside her and pushing him over the edge with her. Sean didn’t have time to comprehend anything as his body took over, pleasure coursing through his veins.

  Then they were rolling. Ali fell on her back between the couch and coffee table with Sean on top of her. He chuckled and pulled back, looking down at her on the floor, trying his best not to crush her with his weight.

  “Okay, I think I may have had one too many margaritas.” Ali groaned.

  He smiled and lifted off of her. He disposed of the condom and came back to her. “I thought you were a bit excited after leaving the restaurant.”

  He lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bedroom. She’d made his bed when she left that morning. The gesture brought a smile to his lips. He laid her on the bed and crawled in beside her. Ali rolled to her side and wrapped herself in his arms. She rested her cheek on his chest and threw a smooth leg over his, bringing her body flush against his side.
