One Night

by Ramona Gray

  “Jesus, I’m sorry, Kate. I shouldn’t have done that. How’s your headache?”

  “It’s not completely gone,” she admitted.

  “Do you want some more Advil?” He asked.

  She shook her head and grabbed his arm when he started to get out of bed.

  “I should go,” he said. “You need sleep and if I stay I’m going to…”

  He trailed off and jerked in surprise when she pushed him down on to the bed and straddled him. She rubbed her pussy against his erection and he groaned harshly as he gripped her hips.

  “Kate, what are you doing?”

  “Did you know,” she said as she traced her fingers over his broad chest, “that orgasms can help headaches?”

  “I didn’t know that,” he muttered. His hand wandered from her hip, tracing across her flat abdomen before dipping between her thighs. He rubbed her clit lightly and she ground her pussy against his hand.

  “It’s true,” she said. “I read it on the internet.”

  He laughed softly and she smiled at him. “I think it’s worth trying, don’t you?”

  “Yes,” he said immediately. “Fuck, yes.”

  He cupped her breasts and teased her nipples as she rubbed her pussy over the thick length of his cock.

  “I want to be inside you, Kate,” he rasped.

  “I want that too,” she panted.

  “I don’t have any condoms.”

  She leaned over him, letting her breasts brush against his chest and he muttered another low curse before cupping her ass and kneading it roughly.

  “I’m disease free. You?” She said.

  “Yes.”

  “Good. I’m on the pill.” She kissed him, teasing the seam of his mouth with her tongue until he parted them, and she slid her tongue between his lips and licked lightly. He sucked on her tongue and she thrust her pelvis against him. They kissed for long moments, their tongues battling for control, before he broke away from her and gripped the back of her neck.

  “Fuck me. Right now,” he demanded.

  “Whatever you say, Mr. Turner,” she whispered.

  She held the base of his cock and rubbed the head of it against her swollen clit. They both moaned and she rocked against him until he made a low snarl.

  “Kate, now.”

  She pushed herself down on to his cock, making a breathless little moan as she stretched around him. He watched his cock slide into her, the lips of her pussy stretching around him, and wrapped his hands around her waist and pushed fully into her.

  “Oh God!” She cried and he grinned up at her.

  “Your pussy is so pretty, Katie-did. Ride me - I want to watch you take my cock in your tight little pussy.”

  She braced her hands on his chest and rode him slowly, rocking against him so that it put pressure on her aching clit. She was so close and she cried out with frustration when Edward sat up and flipped her on to her back. He pushed her thighs apart and entered her again, pushing into the hilt, and pinning her arms over her head.

  “Edward,” she squirmed under him. “I want to come.”

  “I know, Katie,” he said. “Soon.”

  “Now!” She tried to free her arms but he was holding her forearms firmly and she twisted helplessly in his grip. A new trickle of lust was growing in her belly and she glanced up at his hands.

  “Be good,” he said, “or I’ll tie you to the bed.”

  Her pussy clenched around him and he groaned before giving her a wicked grin. “My Katie likes that idea.”

  She glared at him and squeezed her legs against his hips. “Edward, fuck me.”

  He made two short, hard thrusts and stopped. She whimpered loudly and then lifted her head and nipped him hard on the throat.

  He grunted with pain. “Be nice, Katie-did.”

  She squeezed her pussy around him again before giving him a pleading look. “Please, Edward.”

  He kissed her, sucking lightly on her bottom lip, before releasing her arms. She dropped her hands to his waist, clutching tightly as he propped himself above her and moved with long, slow strokes. She slipped her hand between them and rubbed at her clit.”

  “Don’t come yet, Katie.”

  “I have to,” she moaned.

  “Not yet, honey,” he whispered.

  She moved her hand, pouting at him, and he grinned before resting on his forearms above her. It pressed his chest against her breasts and he kissed her slowly and thoroughly as he moved faster. His pelvic bone rubbed against her clit, sending bolts of lightning through her nervous system, and she groaned before digging her nails into his back.

  “Edward, I can’t wait. I can’t.”

  She gasped and moaned as he moved faster. His low grunts of pleasure as he fucked her only intensified her lust and she kissed him desperately as she rocked her hips against his.

  He fisted his hand in her amazing hair and pulled her head back. “Look at me, Katie.”

  She stared obediently at him and he groaned and pumped faster at the look of naked desire in her gaze. She suddenly stiffened beneath him, her back arching and her mouth dropping open, and she made a low keening noise of pleasure as her body shuddered and her pussy clamped around his cock with exquisite tightness.

  He thrust rapidly in and out, her pussy pulsing and squeezing around him, until he climaxed deep inside of her with a harsh shout. Her pussy squeezed him compulsively as his hot seed coated her insides and he rested his forehead against hers as she clung to him.

  “Jesus, Kate,” he mumbled. “That was amazing.”

  “Yes,” she said breathlessly.

  He rolled off of her and put his arm around her when she curled up against him. He kissed her damp forehead. “How’s your headache?”

  “Better.”

  “Really?”

  “Really, really,” she said with a small smile.

  They laid silently for a few moments before she sat up. “Thank you for staying with me and for…”

  She trailed off and he grinned wickedly. “Fucking your headache away?”

  She snickered before rubbing her hand across his chest. “Crude but accurate.”

  “Are you hungry?”

  She shook her head. “Not really. It’s a little too late for me to eat.”

  She glanced at the alarm clock before clearing her throat. It was obvious what she wanted and, a weird tingle of dismay going through him, he sat up and pushed back the covers.

  “I’ll get out of your space. My room is, uh, right next to yours so if your headache comes back, just let me know.”

  He grimaced inwardly at how stupid and pathetic he sounded. He wanted to spend the night with Kate, not because he wanted more sex but the thought of going back to his empty bed knowing that Kate was only a few feet away, made him miserable.

  “Edward,” she caught his hand before he could climb out of the bed, “I don’t want you to go.”

  He hesitated and she gave him a tentative smile. “I mean, if you want to go I’ll understand but I’d like you to stay. I know we had an agreement but you’re, um, already here and we’re both naked so… will you stay?”

  He stared silently at her and she flushed. “We can go back to the way it was tomorrow. Right?”

  “Are you sure?” He said. “I know you’re tired and it’s going to be a busy day.”

  He desperately wanted to stay with her but she still looked exhausted and he gave her a worried look.

  “I’m sure,” she said. She suddenly smiled saucily at him before rubbing at her temples. “I think my headache is coming back.”

  He laughed and she squealed softly when he pushed her back on to the bed and covered her body with his. “I’ve heard that multiple orgasms are required to help cure a headache.”

  “Oh yeah?”

  He nodded. “I read it on the internet.”

  “It must be true then,” she said.

  “I don’t know,” he said before licking her throat, “I think we need to do our own research just
to be on the safe side.”

  “Whatever you say, Mr. Turner,” she said breathlessly.

  Chapter 12

  Kate added the folder to the stack that was sitting on Edward’s desk. It was close to four, he had left for a meeting at one and she was finally caught up on the files he had left for her. She stared out the window of his office. It had started to snow an hour ago and the streets were covered in a light dusting of it.

  She sighed and rested her forehead against the cold glass. Edward had been up at six this morning. She had sat up in bed, yawning and blinking, while he dressed quickly and there had been a few moments of awkwardness between them before he kissed her lightly.

  “I have an early morning meeting,” he had said. “I’ve arranged for a car to pick you up at eight and bring you to the office.”

  She had nodded blearily and he had kissed her again before resting his forehead against hers. “Thank you, Katie-did.”

  He had left before she could do something stupid like ask him if he wanted to keep fucking while they were in New York.

  The phone in her small office rang and she hurried to answer it.

  “Edward Turner’s office, Kate speaking.”

  “Kate, it’s Alison at reception. Edward’s four o’clock appointment is here. Do you know when he’ll be back?”

  “He should be back any time now,” Kate said.

  “Can you do me a favour and show Mr. Mitchens to the small boardroom that’s down the hall from Edward’s office?” Alison asked.

  “Of course.”

  Kate squeezed out of her office and walked toward reception. It was only her second day here but she had already figured out the layout of the office and navigated her way through the maze of cubicles with ease.

  She smiled brightly at the tall, blonde man standing by the elevator.

  “Mr. Mitchens?”

  She held out her hand and he shook it firmly.

  “My name is Kate. I’m Mr. Turner’s assistant.”

  “Nice to meet you, Kate. Call me Tom,” he replied.

  “Mr. Turner is running a little late, but I’m sure he won’t be long so if you’ll follow me, I’ll show you to the boardroom where you’ll be meeting,” Kate said.

  “So I haven’t seen you in the office before, Kate. Are you new here?” Tom asked curiously as he sat down at the glossy table in the boardroom.

  Kate poured him a glass of water. “Actually, I’m Edward’s assistant in his new firm. They were short staffed in this office so I’m here for the week to help out.”

  “Have you been to New York before?” Tom asked leaning forward and resting his hands on the table in front of him.

  “I haven’t,” Kate replied.

  “Are you planning on checking out the tourist side of New York?” Tom asked.

  “I’m going to try and do a few things,” Kate said.

  “You have to at least do some,” Tom said. He suddenly grinned at her, revealing even white teeth. “What you really need is someone local to be your tour guide.”

  “That’s a good idea,” Kate said.

  “I’m full of good ideas,” Tom replied with a boyish smile. “Have a seat, Kate. I’d love some company while I’m waiting for Edward.”

  * * *

  Edward hurried toward the boardroom. He was late for his meeting and he hated keeping clients waiting. He heard Tom laugh loudly and he frowned when he ducked into the room and saw Kate sitting with him. Tom leaned forward and touched her hand and jealousy spiked through him.

  “I swear it’s the truth. Some naked guy was riding a donkey through Times Square,” Tom said.

  “I don’t believe you,” Kate laughed.

  “Swear to God,” he said solemnly. “You see all sorts of crazy things in Times Square, Kate,”

  He glanced up to see Edward standing in the doorway.

  “Edward! How are you?” He shook Edward’s hand as Kate stood gracefully and headed toward the door.

  “Sorry I’m late, Tom,” Edward said as Kate brushed past him.

  “No problem,” Tom replied. “Kate was gracious enough to keep me company. Besides, Bonnie is running late as well.”

  “Kate, could you grab the file from my desk?” Edward asked.

  “Of course,” she said.

  She snagged the folder from his desk and returned to the boardroom, setting it on the table in front of Edward.

  “Thank you for keeping me company,” Tom said.

  He held out his hand and she shook it, her cheeks flushing slightly when Tom refused to let go of her hand.

  “Remember what I said. If you get the chance be a tourist and want some company, give me a call.” He handed her his business card.

  “Thank you, Tom. It was nice to meet you,” Kate replied and hurried out of the boardroom without looking at Edward.

  She was barely back to her desk when the phone rang again.

  “Ms. McKenzie is here for the meeting with Mr. Turner and Mr. Mitchens,” Alison said.

  “Thank you, Alison.”

  She made her way to reception again to greet the attractive older woman with the bleached blonde hair standing by Alison’s desk. She was very tiny and slender and she stared up at Kate with bland disinterest.

  “Hello, Ms. McKenzie. I’m Kate, Mr. Turner’s assistant. Can I get you a cup of coffee or glass of water before you join them in the boardroom?” She asked.

  “No, thank you,” she replied tersely.

  Kate led her to the boardroom. She knocked lightly and opened the door, stepping aside so Ms. McKenzie could sweep into the room.

  “Hello, Bonnie,” Tom said cheerfully.

  Bonnie gave him a distracted nod before smiling at Edward.

  “Edward, good to see you again,” she said before hugging him tightly.

  Kate bit her inner cheek to keep from laughing at the look on Edward’s face as he patted the woman’s back before squirming out of her embrace.

  Bonnie grabbed both of Edward’s hands and squeezed them firmly. “You look wonderful.”

  “Thank you, Bonnie,” Edward said before tugging his hands free and pulling out the chair beside Tom. “Please, have a seat.”

  She ignored the chair and took the one next to him. Edward, his face carefully blank, said, “Would you like something to drink?”

  “Yes.” She turned to Kate and barked, “I’ll take a glass of water,” before smiling at Edward. “Sorry I’m late, traffic was terrible.”

  Kate poured two glasses of water as Edward sat next to Bonnie and set them in front of Bonnie and Edward. Before she could leave, Edward cleared his throat and said, “Could you stay and take some notes please, Kate.”

  He had the strangest expression on his face and she studied him briefly before nodding and taking a pen and pad of paper from the small side table. She sat across from Tom as Edward, his cheeks red, cleared his throat again and said, “Let’s get started.”

  * * *

  An hour later, Kate was back in her office. She started to type up her notes and when Edward stuck his head into her office, she dissolved into laughter.

  With a mock sigh of exasperation, Edward said, “It’s not funny.”

  “It’s sort of funny,” Kate said. “Bonnie is an interesting woman.”

  “Interesting is a polite way to put it,” Edward said in a low voice.

  “She certainly is very fond of you,” Kate said. When Edward only grunted in reply, she said, “Why don’t you ask her out? She’s an attractive lady and she can’t be that much older than you.”

  “She’s had extensive work,” Edward said solemnly as Kate grinned at him.

  “And now I get to go to dinner with her and Tom,” he sighed dramatically.

  Kate laughed harder. “Just fend off her advances politely. You’ll be fine.”

  “Sure, easy for you to say,” Edward snorted. “You won’t have handsy McKenzie feeling up your leg during dinner tonight.”

  “It’s a shame I’m going to miss it,” Kate
said teasingly. “I rather enjoyed watching you do a statue impression in the meeting.”

  “She had her hand on my leg the entire meeting. I was afraid to move in case she thought I was encouraging her,” Edward said.

  Kate laughed again as Edward shoved his hands into his pockets. “That’s why you’re coming to dinner with us.”

  “What?”

  “Dinner. You’re coming with us. I can’t be alone with Bonnie. I need someone to protect me from her.” He gave her a boyish grin.

  “Edward, I can’t go to a client dinner. Besides, Tom will be there too. There’s no need for me to - ”

  “You’re coming to dinner, Kate,” Edward said. “I’ve already told Tom and Bonnie that you’ll be joining us”

  A scowl crossed his face. “Tom was thrilled.”

  “But I still need to type up the notes and – “

  “They can wait until tomorrow,” he said. “I’m not kidding about needing protection from Bonnie. I met with her the last time I was in New York and she insisted on driving me back to the hotel after dinner. If Jason hadn’t been waiting for me in the hotel lobby for drinks, I’m positive she would have thrown me over her shoulder and carried me off to my room.”

  “Fine, but you owe me, Edward Turner.”

  He gave her a delighted look. “I’ll make it up to you, Katie, I promise.”

  His gaze drifted down her body, lingering between her thighs, and heat swept through her. She could think of all sorts of ways Edward could repay her for going to dinner with them – none of them at all appropriate.

  “Ready, Katie?” He asked hoarsely. Now his eyes were on her breasts and she could feel her nipples hardening in response.

  “Yes,” she said as she grabbed her purse. “I’m ready, Edward.”

  * * *

  Tom smiled at Kate as they left the elevator and walked through the lobby. “I’m so glad you could join us, Kate.”

  She returned his smile as Bonnie tucked her hand into the crook of Edward’s elbow and pulled him closer to her.

  “Do you need a ride, Edward?” Tom asked.

  “No, I’ve arranged for a car to pick us up. We’ll meet you at the restaurant.”

  “I have a better idea,” Bonnie said. “Why don’t all of us take the car together? It’ll give us more time together.”
