That won’t do. The tips of my fingers tingle with the need to touch him everywhere. My hands grow bolder as I drag my fingers down his shirt, straight toward the bulge beneath his pants. He releases a shuddery breath as I trace the outline of his length. I use the opportunity to tease his tongue with mine, and the results are miraculous.
He groans as his palm finds the back of my neck, locking me in place as he ravishes my mouth. I rub the palm of my hand against his cock. His kissing grows more uncontrolled as I make quick work of undoing his belt and zipper. Our tongues tangle together, stifling his moan as I slip a hand inside his pants. He sucks in a breath as I trace the tip of his cock. I swipe at the bead of arousal with my thumb before rubbing it in circles across his head.
He bites down on my bottom lip, drawing a metallic taste in my mouth.
I giggle to myself as I withdraw my hand and pull back. “How was that for proof?”
The hand around the back of my neck tightens, and his thumb presses against my thundering pulse point. His chest rises and falls with each ragged breath. Goosebumps spread across my skin as he opens his blown-out eyes and turns them on me.
“I’m not entirely convinced.”
My lips part. “You’re so full of—”
I’m cut off as he hauls me over his shoulder, stealing me before I ever have a chance to run.
“Are you kidding me? We’re back to this again?” I pound my fists against his back.
He turns toward the stairs. “I want to conduct a more thorough observation.”
“Are you insane?”
“When it comes to you, that was never a question.”
I laugh as he carries me up the million steps. “You know I can walk right?”
“Acutely. That doesn’t mean I’ll let you.”
I laugh. “Why not?”
“You’re a flight risk.”
“Am not!”
“If I had it my way, you would wear an ankle monitor so I could always know where you are.”
My eyes widen. “That is absolutely terrifying.”
“Tell me about it. I’ve already looked into GPS chips for our child.”
Our child. Those two words seem to have my heart in a chokehold today.
“Thinking about becoming a father often?” I ask with a shaky voice.
“More than I should.”
The idea of him considering fatherhood doesn’t scare me as much as it should. I knew what I was getting into when I signed the deal, but it seems like such a contrast compared to the man who needed to be manipulated into shared custody rights.
Oh, Iris. What are you going to do now?
Declan seems to answer for me as he passes by my room without stopping. I cling to his shirt with sweaty palms, desperate for something to ground me as we enter his room.
My world turns right side up as he throws me onto the bed. I let out an oomph as my back slams into the mattress, and all the air is knocked out of me for a completely different reason than being flung. Declan’s hands grip onto my thighs as he drags me toward the edge of the bed. The material of my dress slides up, and the hem skates dangerously close to my underwear.
He stops and stares at me in a way that makes me feel like he is picking me apart, piece by piece. “Let’s play a game.”
“You and your damn games. I swear it’s like you were deprived of fun as a child.”
His lips twitch as he slides his palms up my thighs. They tremble beneath his touch, and I press them together to hide their shakiness.
“You’ll like this one. I promise.” He makes quick work of my sneakers and socks, and they thud against the carpet like stripped battle armor.
I rise up on my elbows. “What are the rules?”
His eyes bleed to black. “There is only one.”
“That seems easy.”
He tsks as he drags my dress hem a little higher. My breathing comes out harsher, and that seems to only encourage him.
“Beg.”
I shoot him a glare. “If you expect me to beg for your cock, you have another thing coming.”
One side of his mouth lifts into a smirk. “Who said anything about my cock?”
“Then what exactly do you want me to beg for—”
Declan’s fingers grab onto the edges of my thong and drag it downward.
He takes his time, turning the removal of my clothing into an event. I can barely take his drawn-out touches and the burning glances.
“I don’t like this game.” I groan, growing impatient with each passing second.
He tugs my dress up higher and parts my thighs. “I’m sure I can change your mind soon enough.”
Any reply I might have made is stolen as he presses his palm against my chest and shoves me backward. He drops to his knees and drags me toward his face.
Oh God. A sight like that could bring a woman to the brink of orgasm alone. With the way my lower half throbs, it wouldn’t take much to pull me over the edge. Especially not with the way he stares at me. It scares me as much as it enthralls me, and I dance between the two as his fingers part me for him. My entire body buzzes as his tongue darts out, teasing me. I arch my back in response, and my thighs squeeze his head between them. His chuckle makes my clit vibrate. My fingers grip onto the comforter as he destroys my ability to think of anything but his tongue diving into me.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this turned on in my life. Everything about him is sensual, from the way his nails dig into my thighs as he teases me to the way he groans against me when I sigh. All is lost the moment he slips a finger inside me. His lips wrap around my clit, sucking to the point of pain.
He stops every single time I near my peak. I curse him in the same sentence I praise him, and that only seems to make him draw everything out.
No man has ever made me feel devoured like this. I want him to make me stop hurting as much as I want him to never stop fucking me.
I nearly crack and beg for him to finish what he started but I hold out. If he expects me to break, he has another thing coming. I’ll make him work just as hard to prove a point.
I won’t yield for him. Not in a boardroom and not in the bedroom.
Declan rises to my challenge with vigor. My sensitive clit aches, begging for mercy Declan won’t give. I’m a mess as I thrash against the sheets.
Declan cracks the code of my body like a nuclear bomb, and one word earns me the keys to paradise.
“Please.” My cheeks are damp from tears I wasn’t aware had fallen.
His chuckle sends another wave of arousal through me. “You put up a good fight. You’ll be rewarded for that.”
I moan as he slips a second finger inside, crooking the two so they glide against my G-spot. The way he sucks on my clit combined with the torture of his fingers shoves me off the edge.
My body shudders as Declan continues fucking me with his tongue. He plays my body like his favorite instrument, drawing out my orgasm for as long as possible. I expect him to stop as I come down, but his movement only grows more desperate.
My voice is hoarse as I scream out his name, and that seems to drive him wild. His fingers grip onto my ass as he pulls me forward, driving his tongue into me like I wish his cock would. I clutch onto his hair and tug at the strands. He groans, pressing his thumb against my swollen clit. The way he circles the flesh has me climbing until I chase my second orgasm like a shooting star.
