Ian : BWWM Romance (Members From Money Season Two Book 7)

by Katie Dowe

  “Is that something you want to do?”

  His eyes ran over her face body and settled on her lips, causing the heat to rise inside her! “You are a beautiful woman, Caitlin, and I would be flattered to make love to you.”

  “When?”

  He stared at her quizzically. “How about now?” he asked her softly.

  “I think now would be a pretty good idea since I am here.”

  He nodded and finishing his wine, he put the glass on the table and got to his feet. He came around and held a hand out for her to take and she did, allowing him to lead her from the balcony and through the elegant but sparsely furnished living room. “I have not yet decided how long I am staying here so I have not gotten around to having it decorated.” They passed through a long passageway and up a curving staircase and another passageway before he stopped in front of glossy dark brown double doors. He let her go to push the doors open to reveal steps leading down into a rather large bedroom with thick steel grey carpet and one sided glass walls that showed full view of the towering buildings that made up the town. Caitlin wandered over to the nearest glass and stared out at the view. “I can see the publishing house from here,” she breathed.

  “One of the reasons why I bought the place.” He had come up behind her and she could feel his presence wrapping around her body as if he was holding her. “And the view of course.”

  “Of course.” She turned to face him. “I am not usually shy.”

  “And you are now?” His voice was velvety soft and played on her nerves.

  She nodded, speech evading her for the moment as she stared at him. She wanted this and had wanted it from the moment she laid eyes on him! He reached out a hand and tipped her chin up. “You have no need to be shy. I will be gentle if you prefer that.”

  “I don’t actually.” She stepped back and his hand fell away from her. He watched as she pulled her thin cotton blouse over her head and unhooked her bra, letting her small breasts spring to life before his eyes. The arousal had gone from mild to raging now as he stared at her smooth flawless skin and the dark red tips of her nipples. She reached up and pulled the pins from her hair, letting it fall down about her shoulders. She ran her fingers through the strands, the movement seductive and arousing him further.

  “Are you just going to stand there?”

  “I am enjoying the show.” He reached out and passed his thumb over one nipple, watching in fascination as it stiffened beneath his touch. “Continue.”

  She took off the knee length shorts she had worn and left on her lace panties. Suddenly, the shyness evaporated and was replaced by the heat coiling in the pit of her stomach. She had agreed to carry his children and they were now entering a physical relationship which meant that what she felt for him would only get stronger, but she was not going to think about that now! He pulled the shirt over his head and she almost whimpered at the sight of his muscled chest with the smattering of dark hairs that went down his flat stomach and disappeared into the waistband of his shorts. He unhooked the button and pulled the zipper down, taking it off along with his underwear. He was aroused and she could not stop the whimper that escaped her as she stared at the thickness of him. He moved forward and caught her by the neck, pulling her towards him and allowing her to feel the heaviness of his arousal. His head bent and he nibbled at her full bottom lip, his hand moving over her hip and pulling her closer to him. Caitlin planted her hands on his chest, feeling the muscles tense as she touched him. She opened her mouth, but he was in no hurry to delve inside the softness of it, not yet!

  Chapter 5

  He took his time with her, savoring the fullness of her soft lip, his tongue soothing the bites he made and the feel of her naked body next to him. He intended to take his time to savor and enjoy what she was offering him to the fullest! Her body was perfection itself and he stepped back to study it, his dark eyes burning as he looked at her flat stomach and the triangular of curls at her sex, barely covered by the lace of the panties. He took her hand and led her over to the large king sized bed, helping her onto it before climbing in next to her. He moved over her and peeled the lace off her, sending it to the carpeted floor before running his hands over her body. He went on his side, his head propped on one hand as he stared at her. His hand settled at her stomach, already visualizing his children growing inside her. “I will never be able to thank you enough,” he told her huskily.

  “I have not done anything yet.” She moved restlessly against his hand.

  “But just thinking about it and agreeing to it says a lot.” His hand moved up to idly cup one breast, his thumb moving over the stiff bud almost absently and causing the tremors to increase inside her body. “When all this is over I will give you anything you want.”

  “I might ask for all your money.” She moaned as he continued to stroke her.

  “Somehow I doubt that.” His dark head bent and he nibbled at the bud sending shards of fire running through her and that was before he pulled the bud inside his mouth and started sucking on it! Caitlin clenched her fingers and shuddered, biting off the cry that threatened to escape her mouth! His tongue swirled around the bud and his teeth scraped against the skin. She jumped and grabbed at the sheets tightly, her body lifting as he continued to torture her. He was very thorough, not letting up until she was almost whimpering with need! He moved to the next one and gave it the same treatment. By the time he was done, she was a mass of roiling and uncontrollable desire! He lifted his head and stared at her for a moment before taking her lips with his. She wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him down, her mouth opening to devour his hungrily. He moved over her and reached between them to guide his penis inside her wet warmth, pushing into the tightness before driving deep inside her. He did not move for a minute. His body stiffening as she wrapped around him, pulling him deeper inside her. His hand gripped her hips as he moved inside her, his body shuddering with the intensity of what was happening between them! She gave and he took and then took some more as she moved against him. He acknowledged the quickening of his heart rate and the heat coiling inside his groin and felt the need to increase the pace as his passion accelerated. Caitlin wrapped her hands around his neck, with the realization that this was what she had been hoping for and surpassing all of her expectations. He filled her up and then some, his body driving into hers with a fullness and passion that took her by surprise! He switched it up suddenly, turning and taking her with him until he was beneath and she was on top of him. His hands guided her hips and he lifted his body so that he could feed off her nipples again, sending her into spirals of almost unbelievable pleasure! His hands crept over her back and to her neck, his fingers digging into hair as he lifted his head and took her lips with his again. He could feel it creeping up on him, the stunning and powerful coiling at the pit of his stomach. Caitlin’s fingers dug into his chest as she moved with him, her legs wrapped around his waist. His hands drifted back to her hips as he guided her movements against him. He delayed his own release as he waited for her to let go. Somehow he knew that they had to do it together and in a few minutes she was there. He switched them up again, so that she was lying on her back beneath him. He lifted her legs and held them as he drove into her, his body already prepared for what was coming! Caitlin dug her fingers into his muscled shoulders as her body rose to meet his, the orgasm tearing through her body with a force that was only matched by his. He emptied himself inside her, his body shuddering and unable to stop! He captured her cries with his mouth and held her for a long time as the tremors continued!

  He rolled off her as soon as he was able to and put his hands beneath his head as he stared up at the ceiling. It had been damned good and he wanted to do it again. He frowned as he stared up at the ceiling.

  “You don’t look pleased,” she murmured as she stared at him.

  He turned his head to look at her and smiled. She was propped up on the pillows and looked delightfully sated and sexy. “I am more than pleased.”

  “So
why the frown?”

  “I was wondering how to convince you to spend the night.”

  Her eyebrows lifted. “All you have to do is ask.”

  “Will you?”

  “Are you going to feed me?”

  He turned onto his side and his fingers found the ends of her hair, admiring the blonde streaks. “How hungry are you?”

  “Why?”

  He pulled her on top of him. “I have another need that takes precedence over food right now.”

  “I can wait,” she murmured as she bent her head towards his!

  *****

  She had to go back to her place early the next morning to go and get ready for work. If she had known she would be spending the night having glorious sex with her very hot and sexy boss who wanted her to carry his children, she would have brought over clothes to wear the next morning, but the slight inconvenience of swinging back the several miles to her apartment and digging out a suitable suit to wear was quite worth the night spent having hot and heavy and fantastic sex and waking up this morning with him already deep inside her and his mouth pulling at her raw nipples. He had told her he liked to suck on nipples and she found that the way he did it she more than liked it too. They had spoken about being discreet when they were at the publishing house for now and she had agreed. Now running a little late as she rushed into her office, she could not help but glance inside his to see if he was there and was disappointed to see the place empty. She wanted to ask Eve where he was but decided against it. She had things to do after all and she could not concentrate on the amazing sex no matter that she was feeling the tingles all over her body.

  She had just taken her seat around her desk and was about to return some calls when Eve came in without knocking. “You look hot and bothered.” She looked at her friend inquisitively. “And your hair is down for a change. Is there anything I should know?”

  Caitlin caught herself before she put up her hand to touch the hair falling down around her shoulders. “Nothing to know.” She glanced at the stock of messages in her hands. “How busy are you now?”

  “Well, the boss man is out for meetings so I am free for the time being. What do you want?”

  She passed the messages to Eve. “Return these and set up luncheon appointments with this one and this one.” She looked at the next two messages and frowned. “I will speak to them myself. I passed the billboards on my way in, they look rad.”

  “I saw them myself. How about the media details?”

  “PR is handling all that.” She took a breath. “It has to be perfect, everything has to be perfect. The right kind of food, the atmosphere, and everything. It will be televised live and we cannot afford any mistakes. There will be book signings in August and a flurry of activities for the author.”

  “It will be okay. Aren’t you supposed to be interviewing assistants today?”

  Caitlin dug her fingers through her hair. “I totally forgot! When will they be coming in?”

  “I think one has been here for the past hour.”

  “Why didn’t you tell me?”

  “I was waiting for you to get caught up.”

  “I am caught up. Jesus!” she muttered as she looked around for the notes she had made in preparation. “Send her in.”

  The girl was young and bright and eager and willing to please, but there was something about her that Caitlin did not like. She wanted someone who would be able to work on their own initiative and not come to her every few seconds with queries. She had no time for that. And she wanted someone who spoke their mind and was not afraid of offending anyone. She did not have time for crowd pleasers either.

  She had gone through three women when the stunning African American smartly dressed male came into her office and handed her his portfolio. She frowned at him for a moment, taken off guard because he was a guy and a very attractive one at that. “Have a seat, Mr. Carter.”

  “Please, call me Steve,” he told her in his smooth voice and had her staring at him for a moment before she read his portfolio which was very impressive. He was also a writer who had several poetry pieces published online.

  “Why do you want to work here?” she asked him bluntly.

  He settled back against the chair, a confident look on his face. “I love books and I am impressed by your track record.”

  Her brows lifted. “My track record?”

  He nodded. “Your imprint has been responsible for putting out a number of bestsellers and that impresses me.”

  “What can you offer to Worldwide?”

  “My expertise in the literary field.” He stretched his legs out, his eyes never leaving hers. “My ability to make things easier for you to be able to take your workload and make it mine. You are currently in the process of promoting the medieval series that will be coming out for December and I have seen the billboards all over the city and of course the hits online by the readers. I am very good at planning events like these as you can see from my information. I have no doubt that I will do a very good job as your assistant.”

  She stared at him for a moment. He was too attractive, too sure of himself, but he seemed to know what he was talking about! But so far he was the most qualified she had interviewed. “I will have to make my decision-“

  “I am sorry to interrupt you, but I think you already have.” He got to his feet. “I am willing to start today and wade in on all the things that need to be done.”

  “You want to start working today?”

  “I have nothing better to do or nothing I would rather be doing.” His smile was charming and he probably knew the effect it had on the opposite sex.

  She stared at him for a moment and wondered if she should clear it with Matthias before making her decision. but he had told her that choosing an assistant was entirely up to her. “Okay.” She made the decision quickly. “You are hired.”

  “You will not regret it.”

  “I sincerely hope not.”

  He was more than efficient! By the afternoon. she was starting to wonder how she had ever done without him. He charmed everyone in the office and was careful to keep everything professional. He took care of all her calls and took things off her hands so that she was freed up to review the manuscripts and deal with the authors she had on hold. It was late afternoon before Matthias came back and as soon as he did she went into his office and closed the doors.

  “Hi.” His dark eyes wandered over her chic dark blue cotton suit and the tumble of hair around her shoulders. “How are you?”

  “I am fine.” She felt shy all of a sudden and had to shake it off. It also did not help that she was feeling the heat rising inside her when she looked at him. “I hired someone.”

  “Good.” He settled around his desk and gestured for her to sit. “When does she start?”

  “It’s a he and he has already started.”

  His eyebrows lifted at that. “I see.”

  “I just wanted to let you know.”

  “You did not have to do that.”

  “You own the place.”

  “And you have your own imprint, Caitlin. It is up to you who you want to hire.”

  “Thank you,” she murmured.

  They both looked up at the knock on the door and Caitlin got to her feet. “Steve Carter, this is Matthias Zeng.”

  “Mr. Zeng, a pleasure to meet you.” He came forward and took the hand Matthias proffered.

  Matthias nodded, sizing up the man with one quick look. “I hope you will enjoy working here.”

  “I am sure I will.” He turned to look at Caitlin and Matthias stiffened as he saw the predatory look on the man’s face. “I am sorry to interrupt, but there is an urgent call for you from Viola.”

  Caitlin rolled her eyes. “The bane of my existence.” She turned to look at Matthias. “I will talk to you later.”

  He nodded and watched them leave, a frown on his brow.

  “You are not eating and I am going to be personally insulted if that goes back to
Enrique in the kitchen,” Kane told his friend mildly.

  “I am not hungry and Enrique already knows how I feel about his quails.” Matthias made an effort to eat something more to satisfy his friend. He had left the office and agreed to have lunch with his friend. He had wanted to ask Caitlin if she was coming over tonight, but she had been tied up in meetings and that damned assistant she had hired had told him that he had no idea when her meetings would be finished so instead of sticking around, he had left. He had been in touch with Dr. Fritz and made an appointment to go and see him on Friday. He wanted to talk to him before they started the process. “I have found a candidate.” He grimaced at the way that sounded and tried again. “I have found someone willing to carry my children.”

  “Who is this paragon of virtue?” Kane asked him with raised brows. He gave a nod of his head as the waiter headed towards their table.

  “Someone at the publishing house.”

  “That does not complicate things at all.”

  “She has the qualities I want in the woman who will be carrying my children,” Matthias said defensively.

  “What qualities are those exactly?”

  “She is smart and beautiful and has a mind of her own and I trust her.”

  “How long have you known her?”

  Matthias shrugged as he lifted his wine glass to his lips. “Almost three months.”

  “And that makes you an authority on this woman,” Kane said with a sigh. “Look, man. I get why you are doing this and I get the urgency of it as well, but are you sure you know what you are doing? You are a very wealthy man and something like this could cause problems for you. What are you going to do when the children are born?”

  “I am willing to offer marriage.”

  Kane stared at his friend in shock. “That’s new.”

  Matthias drank his wine and refilled the glass. “I like her and I am attracted to her and the sex is fantastic.”

  “So there was sex.”

  “Yes, it just happened. Maybe this will work or maybe it won’t, but I have to try and she is the perfect choice.”
