Nick had to battle hard for control at the sight of her pussy, empty and gripping in muscle memory of his cock that had filled it only seconds before. Tanya rammed and probed and stretched her dark sphincter until it grudgingly opened and spread and gaped for him. ‘Is all right, Nick,’ she gasped breathlessly. ‘You can fuck me there in my asshole. I would like that, and see, I have it all ready for you. So ready.’
Nick didn’t argue. He shoved his cock hard into her pussy for one last coating of her juices and then, with her grunting and straining, let her guide him into her delicious tightness. ‘Is good, no?’ she managed in a tight little breath. ‘So good, and so good for me too Nick.’ With his first hard thrust, she nearly lost her balance, but then she stabilised herself on hands and knees and shifted her hips back so that, for Nick’s cock, it was a straight shot in, deep and hard, with Tanya chanting, ‘Is so good, Nick. Feels so good, so good.’
She whimpered. ‘But now my pussy is empty, and she needs to be filled too.’ She took his hand, guiding it down around her waist to slip two then three fingers into her drenched slit.
By that time, Nick wasn’t entirely sure of his own name. He was buried to the hilt up the arse of a beautiful woman who wanted him badly and, just as Tanya began to jerk and convulse in orgasm, he found himself wishing like hell that Elsa were watching, wishing she secretly had a scope set up to view his house and she had planned the whole meeting with Tanya so she could watch and play with her pussy, so that Nick could make her come again. He imagined that she was addicted to the orgasms he gave her when she watched him. He imagined it was him she wanted, him she needed. That was enough to send Nick over the edge, filling the condom with his load; a load made heavier, once again, by thoughts of making Elsa Crane come.
Chapter Nine
‘I expected you to look a whole lot better slept with this morning,’ Rita Holly said, squinting at Elsa through the monitor.
Elsa offered half a growl in response and gulped enough coffee to burn her tongue.
‘You mean you didn’t invite our lovely Mr Chase over for a personal party? Oh Elsa, what on earth’s the matter with you?’
‘There were … complications,’ Elsa said, feeling an unwelcome ache below her breastbone when she thought of what almost happened. ‘Besides, he works for me and I –’
‘For fuck’s sake, everyone at Mount Vegas works for you and you fuck all of them, and he’s the most fuckable hunk of manliness I’ve seen in a long time. Well, not counting Edward, of course, because I’m sort of partial where Edward’s concerned.’ She waved her hand as though she were erasing a chalkboard. ‘Never mind that. Look, I know you were really upset with Pike. He told me that you probably would be, and you should be, I agree. He went over your head, but sweetie, this time he was right.’
Elsa closed her eyes and rubbed the bridge of her nose. ‘I know he was right. That’s what’s driving me crazy. I don’t have any trouble admitting when I’m wrong. I have a pretty healthy ego, but that I made such a mistake, that I backed down when I was the first to push for Nick to be in Mrs Bromley’s fantasy, that’s what bothers me. Why would I do that, Rita? Why would I second guess myself?’
Rita sipped from a bottle of water and puffed out a heavy breath. ‘Well, sweetie, at the risk of sounding obvious, maybe you didn’t want to share him?’
‘That’s ridiculous. Everyone shares everyone here at Mount Vegas, and if he wants to take up Tanya’s contract then that’s a part of the package.’
‘And a lovely package it is.’ Rita offered Elsa a mischievous smile, which turned sympathetic. ‘Hon, you haven’t fucked him yet, have you?’
Elsa felt Rita’s words like a hard gut-punch, which made her even angrier. Why should she feel anything one way or another where fucking Nick Chase was concerned? ‘Well, there really hasn’t been a chance, has there? I mean, he’s only just started and I really am trying to break him in as gently as I can and –’
Rita nearly sprayed her mouthful of water on the monitor. ‘Come on, Elsa! Break him in gently? I know about the little game you played with him the night before, letting Beetle ride him while Horse shoved his monster cock up Deb’s arse. Jesus, if that’s breaking him in gently than you’re one helluva sadistic bitch. Why didn’t you join the party?’
‘My ass was sore.’
‘Big deal. So you’d been in the dungeon with Pike. Don’t you think the man who’s conscientious enough to offer to fulfil Tanya’s contract would know how to fuck you gently and protect your little wounded arse?’
‘Rita, please. Do we have to talk about this?’
‘Of course we have to talk about this. Why the hell do you think I so gladly got you up in the wee hours? Nick Chase is hotter than hot. He’s the best thing that’s happened to Mount Vegas in a long time, and clearly you like him, Elsa Crane.’
‘Well of course I like him,’ Elsa blustered. ‘I like all of my team, and I wouldn’t have hired him if I didn’t like him.’
‘Then why didn’t you invite him back to yours and fuck his brains out last night, sweetie? After all, you’re the boss.’
‘I was … he was … and then I called him but … Tanya came and I figured he would … they would … Well, you know.’
‘Right. Thanks for that concise recap of events.’ Rita said. Behind her, Elsa could see Edward fresh from the shower with only a towel around his waist. He bent and kissed Rita on the neck, than blew a kiss to Elsa, who blew one back. ‘So you were probably the only one in Mount Vegas who didn’t get laid last night. Oh Elsa, that’s just so wrong. What kind of an example are you setting for your team?’
Elsa glared at her. ‘Now you’re toying with me.’
Rita’s smile turned sympathetic again. ‘No, I’m just telling you how it is. You like Nick Chase and it’s clear he likes you.’ Rita rubbed her hands together as though scheming something very naughty. ‘You want him. He wants you. So all you have to do is fuck him and get on with it. You see, sweetie. Problem solved. Oh, and then you have to tell me all about it, of course.’
In spite of herself, Elsa smiled back at her. ‘Next time we Skype I’ll try to be ready to titillate.’
‘Good. You’d better,’ Rita said. ‘Oh, and one more thing, Elsa, don’t be too hard on Pike. His instincts were spot on and, even though he might have gone about it all wrong, he loves you, and he’d never do anything to hurt you.’
‘I know,’ Elsa said. ‘Pike’s a good friend, but he’s never gone over my head before, and it … well, it hurt as much as it made me angry.’
‘Then you need to tell him that when you talk to him.’ She leant forward. ‘Are you going to punish him?’
Elsa shook her head. ‘That’s not really my thing any more.’
Rita studied her through the monitor. ‘Whether or not it’s your thing, Pike understands the relationship he shares with you way better than you do, Elsa. He understands what he deserves, and he deserves to be punished by the Mistress of Mount Vegas. Trust me on this one, Elsa, you’ll both feel better if you do it properly.’
Pike settled in the reception room of Elsa’s office. He usually walked right on in unannounced. The two of them had been friends with benefits from the start and they had never stood on ceremony. It was neither a surprise, nor a thing of resentment that Elsa became the head of Mount Vegas. Elsa had created Mount Vegas as something unique within all The Mount, created it even before she knew The Mount existed. It was because of her creative mind and her business acumen that Mount Vegas was quickly heading in the direction of full coven status. So even though they were best friends, it was Elsa who held the reins of power, and she held them well. Pike knew better to push his luck when she was angry. And she was really angry. In fact, he wasn’t sure he’d ever seen her so angry.
Knowing that, he waited for her to invite him in. She’d been behaving strangely ever since Nick Chase came into their lives. On the one hand she didn’t want Nick here; on the other she’d given the whole gang permission to play w
ith him. On the one hand she practically forced him into yesterday’s act for Mrs Bromley; on the other, she tried to pull him out at the last minute. And then there was the little scene after the performance. She practically climbed Nick like a tree right there in front of everyone. OK, so she didn’t initiate contact, but once contact was made, wow! Pike was sure the whole room would go up in flames. He’d never seen such chemistry. And certainly he hadn’t meant to drive them apart. Hell, he, more than anyone, wanted to see Elsa lovesick for someone who returned the favour.
Even though he was in deep shit, he couldn’t keep the smile off his face. The icy-cool Elsa Crane was behaving strangely because she was smitten. Before he could carry his line of thought much beyond the Eureka moment, the office door opened. Elsa stuck her head out and nodded him in with little more than a grunt for a greeting. Pike took a deep breath and braced himself. Grunted greetings never boded well. He followed her into the room and stood in front of her desk.
When she returned to her seat without a word, he took the bull by the horns. ‘I’m sorry I went behind your back, Elsa.’ He should have left it at that, but he was a master at opening his mouth and inserting his foot. ‘It was right to let him do the act with Deb, though, clearly you could see that.’
She studied him with a gaze he struggled to meet, a gaze that made him shift nervously from foot to foot. ‘How long have we worked together, Pike?’ The total calm in her voice made him uncomfortable.
‘A long time, Elsa,’ he said. ‘We’ve always been a great team.’
She came to stand in front of him. ‘Yes, we’ve always been a great team. All of us together have been a great team. You and I built that team. And how much of that time have you been team leader?’
He braced himself. ‘Never, Elsa.’
She still held him captive in her titanium gaze. ‘And have I ever led this group wrongly, Pike?’
‘No. No one would ever question your leadership. You’re the best at what you do.’
‘You were right about Nick being ready. It’s true. But the world wouldn’t have come to an end if we’d given Pagan his role, given Mrs B a discount and given Nick a little more time to get comfortable with what has to be a huge situation for him to get his head around. He’s being pushed like none of us ever were.’
‘He volunteered,’ Pike said. ‘He didn’t come in thinking it would be easy, and you’ve been the hardest on him from the beginning.’
She moved until they stood nose to nose, and he inhaled the coffee on her breath, the clean, soapy morning smell of her, and beneath that the spicy dark scent of the woman herself, a scent with which he, maybe more than anyone else at Mount Vegas, was familiar. She grabbed him by the hair and pulled him down until his forehead was practically against hers. He sucked a tight breath at the prickle of pain along his scalp. ‘I don’t appreciate being told what I already know, even if I owed you an explanation, which I don’t. We drop it here, Pike, unless you want me to take it out on your ass in the dungeon, and trust me, as angry as I am at the moment, you really don’t want that. But if you ever, ever undermine my authority again, I will see you below decks, and I promise the punishment’ll be hard and long.’ Her voice was little more than a snarl. ‘Do I make myself clear?’
‘Quite clear, mistress,’ he said, stepping back, his eyes lowered, his heart hammering in his chest. He clasped his hands in front of his burgeoning erection. Elsa had never threatened him with punishment for any of his transgressions. She avoided the dungeon like the plague most of the time. And as much as she hated being the submissive in any dungeon act, she absolutely refused to play the dominant, no matter if it meant postponing the act. In spite of her discomfort surrounding the dungeon, Pike couldn’t keep the thought from affecting his cock. He wasn’t sure he’d survive Elsa in the dungeon on the other side of the crop, but he was sure it would be an exquisite way to die.
‘And don’t call me mistress.’ With hands that were uncharacteristically shaky, she straightened the jacket of her light linen suit and began to pace again. ‘Pike, you’re my friend, you’ve always been my friend, and I need you to be that whatever happens. I’m sorry if that blurs the lines of authority at times. Most of the time that blurring is a natural part of what makes our relationship work, but last night wasn’t one of those times. I’ve Skyped with Rita and I know you had no choice in her request to watch Nick and Deb. Certainly there was nothing to be anything but proud of in what she saw, but going over my head with Nick Chase was way out of line. We’re treading dangerous waters with him fulfilling Tanya’s contract anyway, and I need my team to support me in this.’
‘Rita Holly was all right with it.’ Pike said.
‘Yes, but she just as easily could have been against it.’
And then Pike opened his big mouth again. ‘Elsa, I’m sorry. You can send my ass off to the dungeon and put my cock in a chastity belt for the next month if you want, but I don’t think you’re seeing too clearly where Nick Chase is concerned.’
She turned on him. ‘What the hell is that supposed to mean?’
‘Chase isn’t a danger to Mount Vegas. In fact, I can’t see him being anything but good for the Mount in general, and I think Rita’s right, you should recruit him. But he is a danger, Elsa. He’s a danger to your heart.’
‘That’s ridiculous, Pike. What happened last night after the act was just –’
They were interrupted by a soft knock on the door that caused it to swing open wide, and there stood Nick Chase.
‘I’m sorry,’ he said, looking from one of them to the other. ‘I guess it wasn’t latched. I’ll come back later.’
‘It’s all right, Nick.’ Elsa stepped back. ‘Pike was just leaving.’
The tension in the room was so thick Nick could have sliced it with his Victorinox. Pike gave him a friendly slap on the back as he left, and Elsa motioned him in.
‘How much did you hear?’ she said, grabbing her bag and nodding toward the door again.
‘Only the bit about me being a danger to your heart. I heard that bit.’
‘Pike has a big mouth, and he often engages it before he engages his brain. You have the limo?’
‘It’s down in the parking garage, just like you asked.’ Elsa had texted him earlier and asked if he had an extra limo, and if he could drive it in. He thought it a strange request, but then it was Mount Vegas, and it was nowhere near the strangest request he’d ever had.
Neither of them spoke until they were in the elevator, and then Nick said, ‘Those were the Mount Vegas offices, I presume?’
‘Yup. Well, some of them. We’re sort of spread out all over town. I’ll give you the grand tour later,’ Elsa said. Then she added, ‘So, did you have a good time with Tanya last night?’
He gave her a quick glance, but she didn’t return it. She only stood facing the front, the look on her face neutral. ‘It was OK,’ he replied.
She raised an eyebrow. ‘Just OK? That’s hardly like Tanya – especially not a grateful Tanya.’
‘Do you want a blow by blow?’ he asked.
‘Not in the elevator, Mr Chase.’ She batted thick eyelashes at him and offered a demure smile. ‘You might embarrass me.’
‘Elsa –’ he laid his hands on her shoulders and turned her to face him ‘– I was with Tanya because you all but shoved me at her, and then she wouldn’t take no for an answer.’ He released her and they both quickly turned to face the door as it opened. Then he spoke from between his teeth as they navigated the crowd of people waiting to get inside. ‘I would have rather been with you.’ As they shoved through the crowd, he offered her a quick smile. ‘But then I can see how you might have felt it better for us not to be together, what with me being a danger to your heart and all.’
‘Fuck you, Nick Chase,’ she said, but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly with the threatening smile.
‘Any time, Elsa Crane, any time. In fact, the back seat of the limo is very roomy.’
She slipped her arm
through his. ‘I’m counting on it. I have a huge event for some VIPs coming up in a few weeks, and I need to put cameras in a limo. I’m working up a scene coming from The Wedding Chapel to the Cosmopolitan. It doesn’t have to be time specific. If the limo scene is hot enough, I’m sure Mrs Keyser won’t mind if we linger there while the driver does a few laps around the city.’
Nick stopped in front of the Lincoln Town Car. ‘I have a bigger one if it’ll help,’ he said.
She walked around it and ran a palm along the door handle. ‘No, it’s just for the happy newlyweds, so I want to create a cosy feeling.’ She nodded to the back door, and he unlocked it.
He admired a view of her lovely rounded backside and those delicious long legs as she slid across the seat and over against the far door. He didn’t wait for an invite but slid right on in next to her. ‘So tell me about this fantasy my limo will star in, and why my limo rather than one of the Mount Vegas limos.
‘Mount Vegas limos are leased, as are the drivers, and we usually don’t involve them in our work.’
‘But mine belong to an employee.’
‘Yours belong to you,’ she said, smiling over at him, stroking the leather seat in between them in a way he wished she’d stroke him. ‘That means not only can you drive them but you can participate in the act if need be. Plus I figured you wouldn’t mind someone having sex in the back.’
He held her gaze. ‘It’s Vegas, Elsa. You’d be hard pressed to find a limo driver who hasn’t had couples doing the nasty in the back seat. Most tourists think sex in the back of a limo is mandatory, a part of the Vegas experience. So what else?’
She sucked her bottom lip. ‘Well, we’re calling the fantasy The Billionaire Buys a Virgin Bride, and it’s the most complicated thing we’ve ever done, though not so complex as far as the kink goes, just to put together.’
