  And right now she wanted that kiss. She rose onto her tiptoes to meet his lips halfway.

  Imagination had nothing on the real thing.

  At first touch, electricity ignited through her body, crackling along her skin and

  making the hair on her arms tingle. She wasn’t sure, but she thought the recessed

  lights above flicked. Wow, it was like Mardi Gras in her mouth.

  She gasped and his tongue swept in, effectively driving every sane thought from her

  head as an unbearable sweetness coated her tongue. No wonder Demetria hadn’t wanted

  to share the wine from the golden bottle; it made the red she and Creed had been drinking

  taste like vinegar.

  A euphoric haze stole through her mind, lighting every nerve in her body. It was as

  if Tor had morphed into one of those Hindu gods with all those arms. His hands were

  everywhere, God bless him, fondling her breasts, stroking her back, and massaging

  her butt, seemingly all at the same time.

  She gripped his ass and pulled him against her. When that wasn’t satisfying enough,

  she attempted a leg wrap, but the confining material of her skirt halted her vigorous

  attack, snapping her leg back down. Damn her sensible work clothes.

  Tor broke their kiss and twisted, smashing the emergency stop button with his fist. The elevator lurched to a halt, throwing Nikki against him.

  His fingers pulled at the pins in her hair and loosened the tight bun. She gave a

  little shake of her head, sending the straight tresses cascading over her shoulders.

  Next, Tor’s exploration moved to the buttons of her jacket, pulling until it fell

  open to expose her clinging camisole to his touch. Cool air from the vent swept around

  her but was instantly warmed by the heat of his body.

  She knew she should stop this—they were making out in the company elevator. There might even be security cameras in here. But then he kissed her and all coherent

  thoughts of propriety and modesty evaporated like a fog on a warm summer morning.

  She couldn't care less right now if this moment ended up on YouTube tomorrow. Maybe

  she'd become an internet sensation: How To Screw Your Boss Into Delirium. Totally

  worth it.

  His hands glided up her waist, over her breasts, and along her shoulders to push the

  jacket off. The coat dropped to the floor, and she gave it a quick kick into the corner.

  His lips found hers again, his teeth nipping at her bottom lip. She threaded her fingers

  through the strands of his thick hair, relishing the silkiness.

  His sensual attack traveled downward, along her neck and collarbone. Moist kisses

  were followed by the tickle of breath brushing against her sensitive skin. He traced

  the top of her green camisole with his fingertips.

  “I’ve always wondered what you hid under those proper jackets.” His finger hooked

  he thin strap and pulled it over her shoulder to expose one of the bright-green lace

  cups of her push-up bra. “Ah, more layers.”

  “Really? You’ve always wondered?” She brushed the hair away from his face so she could

  watch his movements. “Because you never seemed interested before tonight.”

  “Then I was a fool.” He laid several kisses along the swell of her breast before dipping

  his fingers beneath the delicate material to pull it down and expose her nipple. “That’s

  what I’ve been looking for.”

  “Are you sure you haven’t drunk too much? Maybe your wine was stronger than mine.”

  He didn’t answer, only gave her a low moan of satisfaction.

  Her breathing became labored, and her back arched toward him, needing to feel his

  lips on her body. The moist drag of his tongue rasped across her nipple. She watched

  him pull back and blow, the pink bud tightening into a painful nub, and a surge of

  desire spiraled to her core.

  He lowered his head again, drawing her nipple into his mouth. A moan mixed with panting

  escaped her. When his hand drifted to remove the other shoulder strap, she reached

  over and practically ripped the camisole off.

  “Too slow,” she panted. Her head lolled against the smooth panel of the back wall

  and her eyes closed.

  A low chuckle escaped his throat as he continued his assault. With each tug of his

  mouth, a delicious ache surged between her legs. His lips traveled to the other breast,

  pulling away the lace and laving her nipple with equal attention. She tightened the

  grip on his hair, guiding him, demanding more. He complied. “You taste like wine,”

  he said, his voice vibrating against her breast.

  “It’s the wine I spilled.”

  “I like it.”

  After several minutes of mindless bliss from his mouth, Tor knelt to caress her calves,

  his fingers drifting up and under her skirt and gathering the material. His gaze captured

  hers, burning into her. The beat of her heart quickened. He had a way of making her

  feel like the sexiest woman on earth right now. All of this was almost too good to

  believe—though she'd dreamed of it a million times.

  "God, you smell good." He nuzzled against her stomach, drawing in a deep breath. "I

  need you—need to touch all of you, Nikki."

  Fine with her—no, not fine, but then he touched her again. She couldn't have brought

  herself to stop him if she'd wanted to—which she didn't. The skirt hitched around

  her upper thighs and she was suddenly very happy all her comfy cotton panties had

  been in the laundry.

  Tor leaned in and kissed her inner thigh. She brushed the hair away from his face

  so she could see every sweet thing he did to her. His tongue swept upward, drawing

  gloriously close to where she wanted him to focus his attention. She shifted and widened

  her stance—just in case they had the same idea.

  His fingers stroked up the back of her thighs and around the inside to lightly brush

  the junction between her legs. Sweet mother of pearl, she was ready to jump out of

  her skin. The worry of later consequences ghosted through her mind, but when Tor’s

  hands slid over her rear end and hooked his fingers at the waistband of her lacy undies

  to drag them down, the worries vanished. The garment pooled around her ankles and

  she kicked it free, adding it to her jacket in the corner.

  She grabbed the hem of her skirt and hauled it upward, allowing Tor free rein, and

  he gave her the most satisfied smile she’d ever seen on a man, before turning his

  attention back to her heat.

  With the lightest touch, he brushed his fingers along her sensitive flesh. Shivers

  vibrated along her thighs. Again he stroked her, this time a little harder. His finger

  brushed her clit, making her jump. His hands caressed the front of her thighs, his

  thumbs massaging inward, opening her to his touch. She let her knees widen, giving

  him better access. Tension seized her body as she waited for that glorious sensation—the

  first swipe of his hot tongue.

  He leaned in, burying his face against her…and licked.

  “Tor.” His name hissed from her lips. No other words would come.

  He turned slightly and slid his shoulder between her legs, lifting her thigh to nestle

  more firmly against him. His tongue flicked, and she thought her knees were going

  to buckle from the exquisite sensation racing through her. Her hips thrust against

  his mouth, and a low moan rumbled from him, the strokes of his tongue in
creasing in

  pressure and speed. His hands kneaded her ass, pulling her close, drinking her in.

  Unable to help herself, she twined her fingers through his hair to hold him against

  her. Spikes of pleasure spiraled, drawing out the heated ache growing between her

  legs. She gyrated against his mouth as his tongue flicked her clit and then drove

  deep into her. Tiny whimpers huffed from her with each thrust of her hips. She hovered,

  needing the release that held her at the edge of ecstasy.

  Two fingers dove inside her as his tongue flicked and dragged, working her until

  she thought she’d shatter. She gasped and pressed forward, riding his mouth while

  one of his hands held her ass, firmly moving her back and forth along his tongue,

  and the other expertly pumping his fingers inside her, drawing out the exquisite torture.

  Finally, he offered her release. Focusing on her clit, he licked and sucked until

  every nerve in her body quivered and exploded with a shout of ecstasy. The bones in

  her legs seemed to melt, making it nearly impossible to stand—or speak. Beads of sweat

  slid between her breasts and disappeared into her bra. Heavy pants were all she could

  form.

  Tor lowered her leg and stood. His gaze never left hers as he reached into the inside

  pocket of his jacket and withdrew a small package. He let the coat slide from his

  shoulders and tossed it on top of the growing pile of clothes. A tiny ripping noise

  drew Nikki’s attention to the package. A condom. She smiled. It seemed they weren’t

  finished.

  She pushed away from the wall and hooked her finger inside the waistband of his pants.

  With a quick flick, she undid the button and slid the zipper down. His mouth opened,

  and he sucked in when she inched her hand inside his boxer briefs to stroke him.

  “I need you.” From his deep breaths, and the way he pinned her with his dark stare,

  it appeared the man was barely maintaining control. “Don’t tease.”

  She liked him like this—at her mercy. “I’d never tease you, Tor.”

  She shoved his trousers down and glided her hand along the length of his erection,

  stopping at the head to give an extra squeeze. He pushed into her fingers, his eyes

  glazing. Now in command of the situation, she took the condom from his hand and sheathed

  him completely. For added pleasure, she continued her downward movement to cup his

  balls, dragging her finger along the tender skin right behind them.

  He braced his hands against the wall and closed his eyes. “God, that feels good.”

  “What?” She massaged him again. “This.”

  He opened his eyes. “Fuck yeah.”

  Most of the time she felt invisible around Tor. She was his assistant and nothing

  more, but the way he was looking at her now had her thinking that maybe she’d been

  wrong all these years. “How do you want me?”

  He lifted the wet camisole over her head and tossed it on the growing pile. With a

  firm hold, he gripped her hips and spun her to face the back of the elevator, guiding

  her hands to rest against the cherrywood panel. “Like this.”

  A thrill raced through her when he pulled her hips backward. Every rigid inch of him

  pushed against her, and the familiar ache of desire started to build again. One of

  his hands cupped her breast, tweaking her nipple, while his other hand guided his

  cock into her.

  She widened her stance. Inch by sensitive inch he filled her until his hips pressed

  against her bottom. His other hand rested next to hers on the wall for leverage as

  he slowly pulled out. Just as unhurriedly, he reentered her, his breath coming in

  pants.

  “Yes.” He withdrew and pushed forward. “Oh, that’s nice.” Again and again he retreated

  and attacked. “So sweet, so sweet.”

  His words poured over her like warm syrup, breaking down each of the moral arguments

  she’d ever had for not sleeping with her boss. Every second with Tor was worth whatever

  the morning might bring.

  His hands left her breast and the wall and gripped her hips. Each thrust became more

  urgent. Small, animalistic grunts mingled with his words of encouragement. Nikki looked

  up, catching their reflection in the smoky mirrors covering the ceiling. She watched

  his hands drift along her back to clutch her shoulders, his hips thrusting. He let

  his head fall back and his eyes close, his hips pistoning against her. He was so beautiful.

  Not ordinary-man beautiful, but otherworldly. She pushed against him, loving the way

  he filled her—the way he clung to her. His skin glistened, taking on a coppery glow.

  She wondered if he really was some kind of a god—maybe a sex god.

  Why had she never seduced him? She craned her neck to look over her shoulder and ground

  against him, unable to get close enough. Intensity mixed with desire; as she read

  his face she knew exactly what he felt. Emotion blossomed inside her. She felt drunk,

  giddy with the connection happening between them. Why had she waited? Nothing in her

  life made sense except being with Tor.

  A cry ripped from his throat, and he surged into her one more time as his body shuddered

  and he collapsed across her back. He cupped her breasts, but simply held them, unmoving.

  The rapid beats of his heart pattered against her back, and his breath huffed beside

  her ear. The sheen covering his body pressed against her, melding them together in

  a slick suction.

  She didn’t move, drinking in the feel of their lovemaking. Totally the best sex of

  her entire life and possibly responsible for an inability to form coherent sentences

  ever again.

  After a minute, Tor pushed to a stand and stepped back. Suddenly unsure how she should

  react, she straightened and slid her skirt over her hips before turning. He faced

  away from her, and when he turned around his pants were zipped. Nikki bent to retrieve

  her bra.

  He watched her, saying nothing. She slipped the camisole over her head, but when she

  reached for her jacket, he gripped her wrist.

  Excitement rushed through her, making her body quiver. She opened her mouth to respond,

  but he pulled her to him and kissed her, driving all rational thought from her mind.

  He released her, his gaze burning into her.

  “No need to get dressed.” He pushed the emergency stop button and the elevator sprang to life. “We’re far from finished.”
