Love & Lies

by Jessica Wood

  A quick caress of his fingers against her moist opening assured Liam that she was aroused and ready for him. He quickly slipped on a condom and with his hands gripping her hips, he entered her from behind, sliding deeply into her eager pussy with one solid thrust. Gemma rocked back against him, pushing him even more deeply into her than either of them would have thought possible, causing them both to moan with pleasure.

  Liam brought his left hand around her waist and found her clitoris with his fingers. As he stroked within her, he caressed her most sensitive nub, loving the way it made her scream out in ecstasy and rock even harder against him.

  “Do it baby,” he demanded. “Come on my cock while I fuck you from behind!” Liam groaned while Gemma’s cries echoed off the cement walls and floor.

  He could feel every muscle in her body spasm as the powerful orgasm rocketed through her every nerve. It was too much for him to bear, and he climaxed along with her, shooting his load powerfully inside her quivering insides.

  When at last they both were spent, they collapsed in each other’s arms and drifted off to sleep on the pile of fluffy towels. Gemma dreamed of a hero who had descended seemingly out of nowhere to fulfill the dreams of a princess and how that princess was able to save him too in return. Liam’s dreams were filled with locked doors that were suddenly swinging open. He just hoped he had the courage to walk through them and that the beautiful woman lying in his arms didn’t cause him to lose his nerves.

  CHAPTER SEVEN

  Gemma was amazed at how quickly she had gotten used to living in Taylor Mansion and how easily she now thought of it as her home. It was true that Liam spent long hours locked in his office working, but she was never lonely or bored.

  The mansion was filled with a vast and friendly staff and she had gotten to know many of them quite well. Stephan, the chef, loved to show off his cooking skills whenever Gemma would come into the kitchen. He always had some of his special pastries on hand in case she wanted a snack.

  Her personal maid, Jennifer, was hard working. She was also discrete until Gemma told her that she loved to play board games. After that, the two of them gossiped and giggled like sisters as they played game after game. Jennifer always swore that Gemma won fair and square, but Gemma suspected more than once that the sweet girl had deliberately thrown the game.

  When she wasn’t busy hanging out with the staff, Gemma found a thousand ways to entertain herself within the mansion. She’d always longed for the spare time to read and the library offered plenty of material. She exercised daily in the gym and practiced her yoga. Best of all, in the afternoons, she could look forward to spending time with Liam.

  “I used to work late into the night, but knowing you are here waiting for me, I don’t think I’ve worked past four in the afternoon in the past two weeks!” Liam said with a chuckle.

  Gemma didn’t really know what he was like before, but she could tell that he was a far different man than the one she’d met in the café weeks earlier. The cold, steel gray of his eyes had been replaced with shining merriment, like the sun dancing on the ocean. The corners of his mouth were always curved into a smile and there was a happy lift to his step when he walked.

  “I didn’t think I could ever be this happy,” Liam confessed to her one night as they were dressing for dinner. He was putting on a tuxedo and Gemma stood wrapped in a towel trying to choose which evening gown to wear. They were halfway through the month and Laim had promised to take her out to dinner and the theatre to mark the occasion.

  “Me too,” Gemma said with a smile. “You’ve spoiled me for all other men.” She meant much more than going on extravagant shopping sprees, being waited on by servants, or having box seats at the theater. She meant the way he looked at her with such adoration and how he made her always fell like the only woman on earth who mattered when she was with him. It was an intoxicating feeling and something that would be even harder to give up at the end of the month than all the material comforts ever could be.

  “Are you all right?” Liam came up behind her and put his hands comfortingly on her bare shoulders. “You looked so sad there for a moment there.”

  “I’m fine,” she smiled up at him. “I was just thinking that soon, I’ll be going home to my family and my job.”

  “You miss them,” Laim stated simply, but there was no hiding the hurt in his voice.

  “No, actually I don’t,” Gemma confessed, feeling a little guilty. “I was thinking that when I have to go back to reality, how much I’m going to miss you.”

  She turned around to face him and let the towel fall from her body so she stood naked before him. Desire flamed in his eyes and he took her into his arms and kissed her feverishly.

  “Kiss me all over,” Gemma breathed and he eagerly complied. He started by nibbling her earlobes, then down her long and graceful neck to her slender shoulders. He took his time at her full and luscious breasts, kissing every inch of them in slow circles, that started at the outside and ended with each dark pink nipple. Then he kissed his way down her flat stomach to the curve of her hips, all the way down to her toned thighs.

  Clutching the bed post for balance, Gemma spread her legs wide, giving him easy access. Liam knelt on the ground between her thighs and made love to her with his lips and mouth as if worshipping her. His tongue lapped with gentle tenderness at first, and then his lips suckled with passionate hunger. Gemma’s breathing came in rapid gasps as she moaned and cried aloud under the expert workings of his mouth.

  “I’m coming!” she rasped and collapsed onto her hands and knees under the power of her orgasm.

  Liam stripped off his tuxedo and knelt behind her, shoving his raging cock into her quivering pussy with one solid motion. Gemma moaned with pleasure and rocked back against him, driving him even deeper inside her wetness. Keeping him inserted, she slowly moved her body until she was lying on her side, with him continuing to enter in and out of her from behind. The change of position altered the friction between them and caused her to orgasm once more.

  Just as her climax started to ebb, Liam moved his hand around her body so that his fingers could massage her clitoris. The extra stimulation kept her orgasm going. He stopped thrusting and held his cock steady deep within her cunt and concentrated on stroking and stimulating her clit while she bucked and rocked beneath him, thrusting herself up and down the length of him with frenzied abandon as her orgasm kept going and going.

  “I can’t stop coming,” she cried out between gasps and moans.

  Finally, Liam could hold back no more and came powerfully within her as her body pulsed and spasmed around him. Like Gemma’s climax, his orgasm lasted an unusually long time before he finally collapsed on top of her sweaty, naked body.

  “See,” Gemma whispered between her panting, “you’ve spoiled me.” She smiled with complete contentment on her face.

  “And I’m not even done yet.” Liam grinned.

  CHAPTER EIGHT

  “Honey, where are you?” Harry Adams’ voice came through the phone line. “Your mother and I have been so worried about you. No one has seen or heard from you for nearly three weeks.”

  “Dad, I’m fine,” Gemma reassured her dad and smiled into the phone as tears sprang from her eyes. It was funny, she hadn’t realized how much she’d missed her family until the moment she heard her father’s voice. Clutching the phone, she was suddenly desperate to earn his praise and approval. “I have good news, Daddy. I’m nearly done with a deal that is going to save the company. I’ve secured a private loan that’s going to give us the cash infusion we need to keep the Adams Corporation from going bankrupt. In just one more week, the arrangements will be complete and I’ll be coming back home.”

  “That’s wonderful honey, but you may be too late,” Harry said with despair. “Now that our stock prices have bottomed out, that competing corporation I’ve told you about is buying up shares like crazy. I know that when they get enough to have a controlling interest, they’ll just break the corporation
up and sell us off for parts like some damn car in a chop shop.”

  “Don’t worry Dad,” Gemma reassured her Dad. “I know someone with the finances to outbid any attempt to purchase our stock. I’ll ask him to purchase a controlling interest in the Adams Corporation. I’m sure he’ll do it and then you won’t have to worry anymore over that damn competitor who seems bent on our destruction.”

  “Do you really think you can convince him to do that?” Harry asked doubtfully.

  “Let’s just say I have a special influence on this investor.” Gemma smiled.

  “You always were a firecracker.” Harry gave a little chuckle and Gemma could hear the pride in her father’s voice. Then he said, “So, where are you? I’ve been by your apartment half a dozen times and the landlady says you haven’t been there in weeks.”

  “Well, to tell you the truth, I’ve met someone,” Gemma confessed. “I’ve kinda been sleeping over at his place a little bit.”

  “Met someone?” Harry was taken aback by the news. “If you haven’t been home in weeks, it sounds like you’ve moved in with him. Are you living with some bum your mother and I haven’t even met?”

  “No Daddy,” Gemma said, feeling a little guilty. “I’m spending a lot of time working on this business deal and the rest of my time, I’ve been relaxing with Liam. Don’t worry, Daddy. He’s not a bum. He’s really sweet. He’s the complete opposite of a bum. I think I may be falling in love with him.” She was surprised by her own admission as she hadn’t realized how strong her feeling were for Liam until she’d just said it out loud.

  Harry’s anger instantly dissolved. While she’d had a few boyfriends in college, his little girl had never been in love before. It reminded him of when he and Sara had first met and it made him smile.

  “Well, when will we get to meet him?”

  “Soon, I think. Let me finish working on this business loan and the stock investment so we can save the Adams Corporation, and then I’ll worry about introducing you and mom to Liam. I can only handle so many crises at a time.” Gemma laughed and her father did too.

  “I guess that will have to do,” Harry said, knowing when to back down when it came to his daughter. “Thanks for all your hard work, honey. Your mother and I are both really proud of you. I love you.”

  “I love you, too. Bye, Dad.” Harry hung up the phone with a wistful smile.

  She looked up to see Liam standing in the doorway with a storm brooding in his blue-gray eyes.

  “What are you doing in here?” he asked quickly. “You know I don’t allow anyone in my office.”

  “I came here looking for you and when I saw the door was open I decided to make a quick phone call while I waited. How long have you been standing there?” Gemma felt a sense of unease as she stood to face him. She was wearing a short cotton sundress that buttoned down the front and the emerald pendant necklace he’d given her that complimented her eyes.

  “Long enough,” Liam said. “Is what you said true?” He walked slowly towards her. The expression on his face was strange, like a swirling mixture of fear, anger, excitement, and joy all whirling together like a tornado.

  Gemma put her slender arms around his strong neck and let her fingers caress his thick, wavy hair seductively. Placing a tender kiss on his lips, she looked deeply into his eyes and said, “Yes, it’s true. I think I’ve been falling in love with you since that first night we were together. And every day, I grow more and more sure.”

  The storm in Liam’s eyes cleared, as if all his fears had been washed away. He took her lips with his own, kissing her passionately and crushing her body against his hard chest.

  When they finally broke apart, gasping for air, Gemma smiled. “I take it that means you love me too.”

  Liam grinned at her boldness and said teasingly, “Actually I was just excited to hear your company’s stock prices were down and I could gain controlling interest for a low price.”

  The couple laughed together and she slapped at him playfully. Then Liam took her face in his hands and caressed her cheeks with such tenderness she felt her heart melt. He looked deeply into her eyes flecked with gold.

  “Of course I love you,” he said in a husky whisper. “I’m so glad you agreed to stay here with me. I never want this month to end. When it does, the happiest time of my life will end with it.”

  “It doesn’t have to,” Gemma said slowly and cautiously as she looked up at him. “If we love each other, we could find a way to still be together.”

  She clung to him, but to her surprise, Liam closed his eyes and shook his head.

  “I’ve done a lot of terrible things in my life that I’m not proud of,” he said. “I wouldn’t be a billionaire living in this lavish mansion if I hadn’t. For a month, I can hide my flaws, but for longer than that, it would all come to light. When you discover those flaws, you wouldn’t like what you see.”

  “Even your darkest secrets and worst flaws couldn’t stop me from loving you.” Gemma assured him. “Nothing will ever drive me away from you.” She squeezed his strong, muscular arms. “I promise. You can trust me. Just open your heart and trust me. It will all be okay.”

  “Let’s not talk about such things now. The woman I love has told me she loves me too. For now, all I want to do is make love to her.”

  Before Gemma could speak another word, Liam closed his mouth over hers, taking her as his own with the passion of his lips. His mouth forced her lips open, and their tongues intertwined as he devoured her with his feverish desire. It was overwhelming, exciting, and erotic, all at once.

  The power of Liam’s embrace pushed her back until suddenly she felt his office desk behind her, pressing against her. With a swift swipe of his hand, he knocked everything off the surface of his desk, sending the calculator, pencil holder, ledgers, and files falling to the floor.

  While continuing to kiss her passionately on the lips and neck, Liam let his hands slide down Gemma’s voluptuous body until they cupped her round ass beneath the short skirt of the sundress. Then, in one solid motion he lifted her up so she was sitting on the edge of his desk.

  “I want you more than I’ve ever wanted you before.” Liam breathed in a husky voice, while she gasped, trying to catch her breath.

  Without another word, he grabbed the top of her dress at the neckline and yanked on it hard, causing all the buttons to rip from the fabric and the dress to tear open and fall to the floor. Then he reached into the top drawer of his desk and pulled out a pair of scissors. With a single snip, he cut the piece of fabric at the center of her bra’s DD cups and the garment instantly fell open, exposing her large and luscious breasts to him. Another snip of the scissors, he cut away the left side of her white lace panties and a final snip on the right side caused them to fall away from her body completely, exposing her to him, already wet and ready.

  Gemma felt breathless by his almost violent passion for her. She found his aggressiveness thrilling and wildly hot. Her nipples had puckered into taunt points, aroused even before he put his lips to them. As he licked them, Gemma let her hands travel down her body to finger her own pussy and found she was dripping wet with lust.

  “Oh, let me do that,” Liam ordered when he saw her fingering herself. Seeing her juices on her fingers got him instantly hard and hungry for her. “Or even better, let’s switch. I want to watch you play with these delicious breasts and I’ll lick your sweet pussy.”

  Gemma nodded enthusiastically in agreement, so overwhelmed with desire that she was unable to answer him with words. Laying flat on her back atop his large oak desk, she brought her hands to her breasts and began to fondle and caress them. She took her nipples and rolled them between her forefinger and thumb, pinching and pulling them in just the right ways. She looked down and watched with excitement as Liam got to work. He spread her legs wide until her knees bent over the sides of the desk, holding her thighs open for him to enjoy her most delightful spot. He dotted her with kisses first, playfully drawing out the foreplay to tease her
in the best way. Then he brought his tongue into the action, lapping, flicking, caressing, and licking. When he found just the right spot, he experimented with the speed and pressure of his tongue until he heard her gasp and moan with pleasure. Then he went to work with loving dedication, enjoying the sounds she made and the way her body writhed on the desk as he made her come with just the power of his talented tongue.

  As her climax began to subside, Liam brought his fingers into the game. He artfully caressed her clitoris with the fingers of his right hand while he expertly inserted the fingers of his left hand into her wet and ready pussy and slowly fucked her with his index and middle fingers.

  “Faster,” Gemma begged between moans, grinding her hips up to try and force him deeper inside her while she clutched at the sides of the desk.

  As if to refuse her request, Liam kept the slow pace, drawing out her pleasure and enjoying her body move and yearn for more of him. Then suddenly, when she wasn’t expecting it, he doubled both speed and pressure. It was all it took to send her over the edge, and Liam was rewarded with the feel of her coming for the second time, soaking his fingers with her juices while she screamed aloud in his office.

  “I can’t stop coming,” she gasped, when at last she could speak again. She grabbed him by the shirt and pulled herself to a sitting position on the desk so she could kiss his lips. “You do such incredible things to my body,” she whispered. “I love you so much.”

  Liam could see that the waves of her second orgasm were finally ebbing away. He wasn’t ready to end her pleasure just yet. Stripping himself of his slacks, he pulled her to the edge of the desk and wrapped her thighs around his waist and shoved his engorged cock deep into her quivering pussy.

  Gemma leaned back, supporting herself on her arms as she threw back her head, leaning away from Liam as she screamed and gasped with rapture over the onslaught of her third orgasm. Her legs wrapped around his waist, clinging to him with all that was left of her strength as she came loudly, Liam drilled into her powerfully with deep thrusts. Her body was dripping wet and the feel of her orgasm felt incredible that Liam couldn’t hold back his own climax for long. Gripping tightly onto her ass, he pulled her into him as he thrust deeply into her one last time. He groaned loudly as he felt himself explode deep within her, and he cried out “I love you, Gemma.”
