Electric!

by Ava McKnight

  When they finally came up for air, he was breathless. So was Cassidy. Her chest heaved against his. Her fingers remained threaded in his hair and gripping his arm. She gnawed her lower lip as she stared up at him, desire glowing in her amber eyes.

  He didn’t say a word. Chase needed her to speak first. To acknowledge something sexy and significant existed between them.

  Eventually, she released her lip. “What if—”

  “Stop with the questioning.”

  She nodded.

  He demanded in a quiet voice, “Tell me what you want.”

  “That’s an easy one. You.”

  Chase could have shouted his “hell, yes, finally!” from the rooftops, but kept his cool.

  He kissed her again. A slow, sensual lip lock that ratcheted the sexual tension and the stakes. His fingers at the nape of her neck released the hooks of her halter-style bodice. The material slipped between them, down to her shapely hips. A light push from him caused the dress to drop to the floor, pooling at her feet.

  She tore her mouth from his. “Chase.” Panic laced her voice.

  “Shh.” He tugged her forward, so she was free of the satin surrounding her ankles. Then he took her hand and led her to the leather sofa, guiding her down onto the fur throw sprawled in the corner.

  Without a word, Chase hooked his fingers in the sides of her red lace thong and dragged her panties down her legs. She lay in the crook of the couch completely naked, her legs spread, her nipples puckered, her glossy lips parted.

  His eyes traveled back down the length of her luscious body, his gaze finally landing on her pussy. His fantasy had come to life. She was wet for him, swollen and glistening.

  Chase discarded his suit jacket. He unbuttoned his dress shirt, pulling the hem from his pants. Then he knelt before her and opened her legs wider.

  Cassidy’s breath hitched.

  He didn’t think twice about what he wanted to do to her. His lips whisked over her inner thigh, making the flesh quiver. His cock surged. He nipped softly at her skin, working his way toward the apex of her legs.

  Cassidy’s fingers raked through his hair again. She said in a breathy tone, “I won’t stop you.”

  Adrenaline pumped through his veins. His thumbs caressed her labia, then the tips of two fingers rubbed her clit. Her hips jerked and her eyes closed. His tongue flicked over the knot of nerves, slowly at first, then with the clear purpose of getting her off.

  “Chase,” she said on a hard rush of air. “Oh God. No one has ever done this to me before.”

  And didn’t that just puff out his chest a bit more?

  He grazed her moist pink lips with his mouth, back and forth, then continued the flicking.

  Her pelvis lifted and she pressed herself against him. He responded by suckling her clit.

  She let out a sexy squeak of surprise, tinged with excitement.

  He pushed a finger inside her and the arousing sounds coming from her turned to throaty moans. Making him even harder.

  Chase’s plan for a slow seduction flew right out the window. The more she writhed against him, the more restless he became, wanting to show her exactly how good this sort of thing could feel.

  As she squirmed, his control waned. He worked her hard and fast. He sensed her need and anticipation peaking. Her hips rolled and her fingers tightened in his hair.

  “You’re going to make me come.”

  He put extra effort into doing just that. He licked and suckled feverishly. His finger pumped inside her. He’d fantasized about this for so long, it was almost surreal to be with her, pushing her toward an orgasm that he hoped would rock her world.

  From what he’d recently gleaned, Cassidy could use some earth-shattering climaxes in her life. And he wanted to be the one to deliver them.

  Easing a second finger into her tight canal, he muttered, “Come for me. Come all over my fingers. Just let go, Cass.”

  Her inner walls clenched and released, giving him crazy-wicked thoughts about how it’d feel to be inside her while she did that to his cock.

  “Oh God,” she murmured in a lustful voice. “You’re incredible.”

  It was all Chase could do to keep from stripping down and making love to her. Not fuck her. Make love to her. Prove to her that he wasn’t looking for a one-night stand only. He wanted to send her to dizzying heights and convince her that it wasn’t to conquer her. Chase wanted so much more from her than that. He wanted so much more between them than that.

  The intense need to pleasure her, make her feel good, bring her the sort of sexual enjoyment that seemed to have eluded her all this time was unrelenting.

  The tip of his tongue fluttered over her clit and his fingers stroked her until she panted heavily.

  “Right there,” she whispered in a raspy tone. “Just like that.”

  A tremor moved through her body and it spurred him on. He did everything he could to make her hotter. To make her desperate for him and everything he wanted to give her.

  He continued his ministrations and she writhed and moaned. This was exactly what he’d imagined earlier in the evening.

  When her breathing escalated and short, sharp moans fell from her lips, he knew she was close—and he wasn’t inclined to hold back. His fingers plunged deeper. He suckled harder.

  Her hips gyrated. She pulled at his hair in a teasing way.

  Then she let out a spiked cry. “Yes. Oh God, yes!”

  Her hips bucked and he felt her orgasm erupt deep within her as her body tensed.

  “Chase!” Spasms from a powerful release followed.

  A crazed combination of relief and exhilaration rushed through him.

  “Holy Christ,” she groaned, her fingers still holding strands of his hair hostage. He didn’t care.

  “Damn you make me hot.” His breath blew against her skin, and she shuddered once more.

  “I can’t believe I let you do that to me.” She shook her head. Her eyes clouded with a confused look. “No. What I can’t believe is that I’ve never experienced this before.”

  He kissed his way up to her breasts. His tongue swirled around her taut nipple, and she let out a low hiss.

  He said, “You’ve definitely been with the wrong men, babe. But I’m glad. ’Cause I’m the one who’s going to show you how mind-blowing this can be.”

  Her eyes closed briefly. She chewed on her bottom lip as she obviously engaged in a mental debate. He went back to licking her nipple.

  Finally, she said, “I don’t know, Chase. If we go any further, won’t that just complicate things between us?”

  “They’ve been complicated since I came to MII and got a hard-on for you the moment I laid eyes on you.”

  “Won’t it be awkward at work? Sitting across a conference room table from each other, trying to focus on business, not the fact that we had sex?”

  “Cass, I already sit across from you at a conference table and fantasize about having sex with you.”

  “Oh.”

  He palmed her breasts and caressed them, his thumbs teasing the pebbled centers. Her eyelids dipped again, dark lashes fanning along her creamy skin. Her head fell back against the pile of pillows in the corner of the sofa.

  Chase rolled and lightly pinched one of her nipples while sucking the other into his mouth and twirling his tongue around it.

  His stomach pressed against her pussy, with him wedged between her thighs, and she rubbed her dewy flesh against him.

  “That’s it,” he whispered. “Take whatever you want from me.”

  Her hand cupped the side of his neck while the other remained threaded through his hair.

  “How many times are you planning on making me come?”

  He grinned. “I believe I mentioned that at the party. I wasn’t kidding. Just needed you to give me the chance.”

  She let out a lustful sigh. “Okay.”

  “Now you’re making me happy.”

  His head raised and he kissed her, his tongue tangling with hers in a hot, er
otic dance. His hand shifted to her ass and he gripped it, lifting her slightly off the cushion and forcing her to grind against him.

  Another moan lodged in her throat, turning him on even more. He hadn’t thought that possible. His pulse was already through the roof, raging in his head and the vein at his throat. His heart hammered and his cock throbbed.

  He slipped his hand around to the front of her, between them and stroked her clit quickly and with determination.

  She broke their kiss and gasped for air.

  He plunged two fingers inside her wet pussy and massaged her inner walls as the heel of his hand rubbed her swollen pearl.

  “God, Chase.” Her voice was low and sultry. Damn sexy. She clawed at him, her fingertips pressing into his shoulders, then his biceps, then his shoulders again.

  His erection strained his fly and it was a wonder he could keep himself in check. But he wasn’t done with her.

  His lips trailed over her jaw and down her neck. He nipped at the soft skin and she jolted.

  “Yes,” she said on a strangled breath. “Chase. I’m going to come.”

  His pulse hitched. He stroked her faster, harder. Her hips raised and she took everything he gave her until her body tightened. Her nails bit into his muscles and it spiked his arousal. Wicked little cries of pleasure fell from her parted lips, making him half out of his mind with wanting her.

  “Come for me.”

  She did, calling out his name as her pussy clenched and released his fingers, over and over, and her body trembled from head to toe. Chase watched her ride out her orgasm, her eyes closed, her breathing unsteady. She seemed to savor every second of it, taking her sweet time before her eyelids finally fluttered open and she gazed at him with a mixture of excitement and satisfaction.

  “Well, at least I know I haven’t bored you,” he said with a confident smirk.

  You’re allowed to gloat,” Cassidy told him. “Both orgasms were ridiculously fantastic. And about two hundred times more relaxing than even the best massage.”

  “I aim to please.” His boastful expression made her smile.

  “Mission accomplished.”

  “Hardly. We have two or three more to go.” He winked at her, and her insides ignited once more.

  Every inch of her tingled and excitement trilled down her spine. All the passion and desire he evoked chased away the alarm and reticence that had consumed her this evening. For the past two years, actually.

  Chase kissed her, making her toes curl. Then he whispered against her lips, “Do I get to call you Cass now, without pissing you off?”

  She smiled again. “You’ve never pissed me off. I just felt it was too personal for you to use the casual version of my name.”

  His eyes shimmered with heat. “I’d say we’ve definitely gotten personal tonight.”

  A flash of doubt returned to her, causing Cassidy to wonder about the repercussions of getting down and dirty with a coworker. But then Chase kissed her once more and she lost all train of thought.

  The man seriously knew what he was doing with that talented mouth of his. Cassidy let him command her passion as his tongue delved deep and twisted with hers in a sexy way that kept her hot and bothered.

  She shoved his shirt off his shoulders and down his arms. He worked the buttons at his wrists without even breaking their kiss and tossed aside the material.

  Cassidy ran her hands over his warm skin, reveling in the way his muscles flexed beneath her touch. Her fingers skated over his smooth chest and a shiver of delight rippled through her. Not that she could report the discovery to Meg.

  Then again, would she really be able to keep this evening’s turn of events a secret? Surely, her glazed-over, awestruck eyes would give her away come Monday morning.

  “Hey,” Chase murmured. “Less analyzing, more enjoying.”

  She laughed. “Believe me, I’m enjoying. The way you touch me, the way you look at me. And good Lord, do I like you without a shirt.”

  She admired the view as the flames in the hearth cast shadows and light across his tanned skin and sculpted muscles.

  “If I’d have known you were going to devour me with your eyes like this,” he said, “I would have stripped down in your office the first week I joined the company.”

  “You are seriously hot. With or without your clothes.”

  He kissed her, then said, “I already knew that you naked would be my undoing.” His gaze slid over her. “You really are a beauty, Cass. Not even the tiniest hint of tomboy.”

  “Good to know.” The way he feasted on her with such hunger in his cerulean irises sent sparks shooting through her. Cass had had no idea she could get so turned-on by a man. Or that she could cut loose from all her insecurities and stress points in order to experience the sort of passion Chase incited.

  But that very first kiss had been enough to send her flying over the edge, for once not caring she had no chute. A very odd and unique predicament to find herself in, but one that currently didn’t rattle her cage. It might tomorrow morning when it fully hit her what they’d done, but at the moment… Cass had no desire to climb back up to her safe perch on the outskirts of this kind of sexy fun.

  She said, “Tell me you carry a condom in your wallet.”

  “With your name written on it.”

  “Then prove to me that we can steam up all these gorgeous, floor-to-ceiling windows.”

  “Oh without doubt.”

  He reached into his pocket as she worked the belt at his waist and then the button and zipper on his pants. He pulled out two condoms and tossed one on the end table.

  Cass grinned. “Doubly prepared?”

  “I knew if I ever got a shot at this, one time wouldn’t be enough. I’d store a whole strand of them if they’d fit in my wallet.”

  Her clit tingled at the thought of multiple rounds with Chase Logan.

  For the love of God, how had she even ended up in this fortuitous situation? She could name a couple dozen women, right off the bat, who’d give their eye teeth to be naked with Chase. And yet, the queen of first dates and devastatingly disappointing sexual encounters was the one he wanted.

  She didn’t mar the moment with the fear of Chase losing interest once he’d had her. Sure, she’d tried to avoid any sort of wicked interlude with him all night, but now that they’d ended up in this position, she couldn’t deny this was exactly where she wanted to be. The searing chemistry she shared with Chase was exactly what she needed.

  He stood and toed off his shoes, then stepped out of his pants and briefs. Leaving Cassidy to gape at him.

  He chuckled, low and deep. A stirring sound that reverberated inside her as much as it filled the quiet room.

  Her gaze snapped up to meet his. His sandy brow crooked and lust flitted in his ocean-blue eyes. Eyes she could easily drown in.

  But Cassidy had something else on her mind.

  “Maybe you really should have stripped down in my office that first week,” she said as she all but licked her lips. “What a shame I’ve missed out on all that you have to offer.”

  “I kept trying to get you on my bandwagon. You are one stubborn woman.”

  “Not tonight,” she said. “No has been temporarily eliminated from my vocabulary.”

  “A green light I’m planning to take advantage of.”

  He tore open the foil packet and slowly rolled the latex down his wide shaft. The man truly was magnificent from head to toe. And Meg had been right once more—that was one hell of an erection he sported. She practically salivated over him.

  Chase moved between her legs again. He hooked his powerful forearms under the backsides of her knees and spread her wide. She wrapped her fingers around his base and stroked him slowly. He groaned. Fire shot through her veins.

  She guided his cock to her opening and rubbed his tip along her sensitive flesh. His jaw tightened and his eyes blazed.

  “You’re toying with me,” he said in a strained tone.

  “Just enjoying, as you re
quested.”

  “You’ll enjoy it much more if you’ll quit holding me back.”

  She released him and he plunged deep, pushing a sharp breath of air from her lungs. He gave her a few seconds to adjust to the way he filled and stretched her. And holy hell, did he feel incredible.

  True to his word, though, it got even better.

  He pulled almost all the way out of her, then thrust again, making her cry out.

  “Chase. Oh God.” Her gaze locked with his and everything inside of her sizzled and snapped at the raw intensity in his eyes. The desire. The need. The burning need…

  He moved inside her with full, confident strokes that had her panting harshly. He buried himself to the hilt and grunted sexily.

  “Cass.” His voice was gruff. “Goddamn, you feel amazing. Better than anything I’ve ever known.”

  He plunged and retreated, hitting all the right spots and pushing her toward that glorious precipice once more. So quickly. He turned her inside out and made her absolutely crazed for him in short order.

  “Fuck me hard,” she demanded, desire taking hold of her.

  “I wasn’t planning on fucking you.”

  “Just do it. Please. Chase… I really need this.”

  He slipped an arm from the back of her knee, planted his hand along her side and leaned over her. With the other hand, he slid her leg up so it draped over his shoulder. He pressed into her, his cock pumping slowly, his chest melding to hers.

  She felt him so deep inside her that it stole her breath. She squeezed him tight and he groaned.

  “Yeah, just like that,” he said.

  Cassidy milked his thick shaft as he continued to pump in and out of her. She held on to his biceps, keeping him close to her, loving the intimate connection and the feel of his hot skin and hard muscles against her body. All the while, he stared into her eyes as though cataloging all the fiery sensations no doubt reflected in them. Because she also felt them to the core of her being.

  Those sensations raged brighter when Chase picked up the pace and hammered into her as though he were losing control of himself.
