Broken by Desire

by Dani René

  “Those were new!” I gasp and he winks. Lucien shoves them into his pocket and finds my slick folds, plunging a finger inside me, I bite back a moan.

  “Fuck, you’re so wet, Cassie.” His groan is loud and I stifle a giggle.

  “Shhh.” I whisper.

  “I don’t fucking care.” My hands come down and I tug at his pants and zipper, freeing his impressive erection. He is rock hard in my hand as I slowly stroke him up and down. “Put me inside you.” He growls and I wrap a leg around his taut waist.

  He lifts my dress, making sure not to rip it as he grabs my ass. My legs lock around his waist I position him at my heated sex and he drives inside me in one swift move. This will be hard and fast, and I love every second. “That’s it baby, open up and take me.” His thrusts are relentless and I am climbing into a state of delirium that only he can take me to. I tighten my grip on his neck, my back is flush against the wall as he fucks me deep and hard. “Give me your pleasure Cassie, come for me, lumiére!” His words a hiss between his teeth as my release shatters me. My body tenses and I tighten around him. With another final long hard thrust Lucien growls his release deep inside me.

  “Cassandra,” I glance up when my office door opens. Cassie walks into my office with a devilish smirk on her lips. We haven’t spent a lot of time together recently, with me taking over the company, I have been so busy. She had taken so well to running Verán Publishers and the pride I have for her was incredible. “What have I done to deserve this beautiful surprise?”

  “Mr. Verán, I think you need a quick lunch break.” My name on her lips, and the fact that I haven’t been with her in a few days has my cock twitching in my pants already. She twists the lock on my office door, steps further into the office and rounds my desk. Perching on the edge. My eyes rake over her appearance. She’s dressed in a black knee-length skirt and powder blue spaghetti strap top with black pumps. The most difficult thing I have to do everyday is leave her in bed. I watch her push up further onto the desk and I realize exactly what she has planned.

  I roll my chair back, and she positions herself between my legs. My cock is straining to be let loose and slide inside her, but this is for her. “Open for me.” I demand with a low growl and she’s squirming already. With my hands on either of her thighs I push her skirt up. When I see the stockings and garters my cock pulses against my zipper. I almost come in my pants. Grinding my teeth to keep calm, I sit back and watch her. She complies and spreads her legs, I slide my hands up her thighs slowly. As soon as I reach her moist panties my lust kicks in and I give her a smirk that has her gasping. “Did my dirty girl come in here to tease me? Cassandra, did you come here to get fucked?” My words are crude, and she whimpers. Nodding.

  “Tell me.”

  “Yes, Sir. I want you to make me come.” Her words are a low whisper that shoots to my groin. I press my hands on the inside of her thighs and splay her open. The tiny satin panties she’s wearing are soaked and I can smell her arousal. Fuck me, she’s beautiful! I lean forward and I hear her breath hitch. That’s it baby, you will do more than gasp when I am done with you. I push the flimsy material to the side and flatten my tongue over her bare pussy. God she tastes amazing; fuck I can’t get enough of her. My eyes lock on hers, “God, I missed you baby,” flicking my tongue over her little clit, sending a spasm through her body.

  I slide a finger inside her warm tight cunt, licking in slow measured strokes. “This what you wanted baby?” I whisper up to her and see her nod. When I add a second finger, her heated tunnel tightens around me. She’s close, but I am moving so slow that I keep her on the edge. I want her to beg. I fucking need her to beg. Come on baby, beg me to fuck you. Please? Because I am going out of my mind! “I do love tasting you, baby.”

  “Please, Luke, please I need you. I fucking need you.” Her words are like music to my ears. That’s my girl, begging for my cock inside her. I fucking own you baby. I rise and pull my fingers from her core. My gaze locked on hers, I licking her sweet honey. “Jesus, Lucien. Please?!” Desperation drips from her words. Unbuckling my pants, I pull out my cock. The strain on my zipper was killing me.

  When I lean over I plant a soft kiss on her lips, her tongue darts out and I suck on it. When I pull back, I grip the tiny thong and rip it from her body. “Take off your top, I want to see your tits.” My words are raspy, this will not be romantic, I am going to fuck her. Hard. When the soft material drops to the floor so does my jaw. She’s wearing a tight black corset the seems to push her breasts up and I just about come from the sight. “Fuck, Cassandra!” The words come out as a growl. This is most definitely going to be a hard fuck. I guarantee it!

  Cassie reaches down and slowly strokes me. “Put me inside you baby, now!” My words come out harsher than I expect, but she’s got me so fucking hard it hurts. Once I am positioned at her entrance, all my thoughts disappear, all that matters right now, me, my lumiére and how hard I am about to fuck her. She’s so fucking ready I am about to lose it completely. “Hold on tight, this will be fast and hard.”

  “I was counting on it. I need you.” Her moans are more than enough to spur me on and I drive in to the hilt. I watch her bite down on her bottom lip to keep from alerting everyone outside my office to what I am having for lunch. Once I am inside her, I move faster, deeper, and harder. Thrusting into her. She’s pinned below me against the mahogany. I grip her hips and plunge inside her wet heat. Deep measured strokes as we both climb into the abyss of our passion.

  Her grip on the desk is tight, her knuckles are turning white. My hold on her hips will leave bruises, but I can’t stop myself from the orgasm that’s so close. Her pussy tightens and clenches around me sending lust through every inch of my body. “That’s my lumiére, come on my hard cock baby.” My release shoots down my spine and straight to my balls. Cassie’s tight little pussy squeezes around me again and I slam into her with my release as she comes around my cock. Her body convulses under me, and I hold her. I ride out her orgasm until she stills and her eyes meet mine.

  “I love you, baby.” My whisper is low, and I collapse on top of her, holding her against me. When I feather soft kisses on her lips, down her neck, and nibble her ear, it awards me a soft giggle.

  “I love you too. Now, I need to get back to work.” I groan in agony of having to move. Wishing I could spend the whole afternoon inside her. We straighten up, I reach out and help Cassie to her feet. She’s adorable and beautiful and I can’t get enough of her. I place a soft kiss on her lips and walk with her to the door of the office. “Later, Verán.” She giggles, opening the door and shutting it on my shocked expression. That woman will be the death of me. When I walk to my desk, I can’t help smiling. The picture in my mind of her on my desk will forever be etched in my mind. Now how the fuck am I going to concentrate on work for the rest of the afternoon?

  When I get back to my office, Jayce is sitting in the plush armchair. “Alexander, what are you doing in my office?”

  “I need you darling!” He chuckles when I slap him on the bicep. “Just kidding, we need to go over the details for winter shoot coming up and I wanted to know when you’re free.” As I round my desk, I slip into the comfortable black leather chair and glance into intense blue eyes. Jayce had been amazing when Lucien and I broke up and since we’re back together, Jayce hadn’t moved on as he said he would.

  “Let me have a look, probably tomorrow afternoon? I am not in the management meeting so you can come down then.”

  “Perfect. So, how’s Luke?” His gaze is expectant and I am not sure if he wants good or bad news, somehow it’s unlikely he wants me to tell him we’re happy.

  “He’s fine, trying to make up for everything. It’s been difficult, things are still tense sometimes, but we’re getting there.” When my gaze meets his I see a flicker in his sky-blue eyes. They remind me of a clear blue ocean, on a tropical island, my cheeks flush when I recall our time in Cancun.

 
; “Cass?” Jayce pulls me from my dirty thoughts.

  “Yes? Sorry, I am exhausted.”

  “It’s okay, I need to go. See you tomorrow.” He rounds my desk and tugs me into a hug. The soft material of his grey hoodie smells like him. “You’re amazing, remember that.” He plants a quick kiss on my forehead and leaves without another word. What the hell was that?

  A knock on my door startles me from the peculiar visit from Jayce. “Come in.” I call out. As the door opens, I peer up to see my assistant, who Luke’s dad so graciously hired for me.

  “Ms. Winters, this package arrived for you about ten minutes ago. I didn’t want to interrupt Mr. Alexander’s visit.” When I offer him a smile and nod, he steps further into the office.

  “Thank you Paul, it’s not a problem. Leave it on the table, I will have a look at it later. Can you please make sure my diary is clear tomorrow afternoon I have a meeting with Mr Alexander at 2:30 pm, send him the request as well? Also please get me a black coffee?” With a small nod, he wanders off down the corridor. As soon as I hit send on an email, I rise and round my desk. The silver envelope is sealed, and I tear it open. I wonder if Lucien bought me a gift. He didn’t mention it earlier, not that I gave him an opportunity to. When I slide out the card, I turn it over, there’s an elegant script on the one side. Not recognizing the handwriting, I frown. That’s strange. Luke didn’t mention he’s working late.

  Meet me in my office at 6 pm. I have a surprise. Love you baby.

  Just before six, I shut down my computer and grab my bag. With the envelope in hand, I make my way out of the office. The floor is so quiet, everyone has left for the day and I can’t wait to get home. When I push the call button, I don’t have to wait for the elevator, and step inside as soon as the car stops on my floor. Still finding it strange that Luke delivered an envelope, rather than calling me. I step out onto the top floor and make my way to his office. The door is slightly ajar when I walk up to it. As soon as my hand grips the handle I hear voices. “Luca, please. I love you. I always have!” A girl’s voice cuts through the silence. My heart unravels and shatters slowly and suddenly it’s too difficult to breathe. What the fuck is going on? That’s the voice of the girl who’s been harassing me! Isabel!

  As soon as I push the door open I come face to face with green eyes. My gaze flits down to his hands on her hips. She’s stroking his chest. There’s no doubt about what is going on. Their faces are so close I am sure he was about to kiss her.

  “Cassie!” Spinning on my heel, I run towards the elevator and push the button for the car to take me away. “Baby!” As soon as he reaches me I step into the waiting car. I can’t do this. Lucien stops the elevator with his hand and the doors slide open. “Please? I was telling her to leave. Believe me, please?”

  “Let me go.” Those were the only words I could utter. My breath had stopped, and I knew that if he put his hands on me I would waiver, but he was about to kiss another woman. “Just let me go.”

  Those were the last words I uttered, and he stepped back as the doors slid closed, to my heart and my soul. The only person that I have ever given everything to and now it was gone.

  Lucien

  As soon as I walk back into the office, I glare at Isabel’s face. “Do you even fucking realize what you just did!?” I am shouting, but I don’t give a fuck. The woman of my dreams, the love of my life just walked out the door, or into an elevator and asked me to let her go. What the fuck was I meant to do now?

  “She will forgive you Luca. Trust me.” My glare cuts to her again and I round on her. My hand is on her neck suddenly and I have her pinned against the wall. Her breath is short as she struggles, but I don’t care. The pain she’s just put me through is more than I can even fucking imagine and no one will come out of this alive. Not her or Claudia!

  “Trust you!? Are you fucking crazy? Get the fuck out of my life. Vous me dégoûtez putain!” Her eyes are as big as dinner plates at the words I have just spat at her. When I release my hold on her neck, I see the surprise on her face. She didn’t know what I am capable of, but she better fucking learn quickly. Nothing, I swear on my fucking life, nothing will take Cassie from me!

  As soon as Isabel is out of my sight I call Robert. I need him to source the original contact between Claudia and Isabel. I need proof and I need to take it to Cassie. She won’t take me back now, but once I can prove nothing happened, I know she will see it my way. At least, I fucking hope she does.

  “Robert, I need you to pull records.”

  “Yes sir, I can have Daniel on that. Who’s?”

  “Claudia. Isabel” I hear his sharp intake of breath and I know what he’s thinking before he even says anything. My heart constricts at her expression as those goddamn doors closed.

  “Mr. Verán.”

  “Robert please?”

  “Yes, sir.”

  Once I hang up, I slide into my office chair. The memory of her sitting here only a few hours ago is burnt into my mind. How the fuck does life fuck you so hard? Fuck! I slam my hand on the desk in frustration. This is the fucking point isn’t it? I mean. Isn’t this why people fall in love? To feel the pain and anguish. No, they fall in love to feel the happiness! I unlock my phone and call Jayce; he will know what to do. The fact that he knows how to make my girl happy angers me so much, but deep down I know he’s probably the only one who can get through to her. Voicemail. I leave a message for him to call me urgently, mentioning Isabel and Claudia. He hates them as much as I do. I close my eyes, trying to think of some way to make her come back to me. She needs to know what happened. The truth. Not what she saw. My eyes snap open as my phone rings, thinking it’s Jayce, I slide the answer screen. It’s the hospital. Immediately my mind is on Cassie. “Mr. Verán?” The question has my blood running cold. Please don’t let Cassie be hurt!

  “Yes, this is Lucien Verán,” I listen for a few moments before shock cuts in. The news shocks me into panic. “I will be right there.” There is only one person I need right now, scrolling down to her number, I hit the call button. Her voice calms me, even though she’s angry. “What, Lucien?”

  “My father. Hospital.” Those are the only words I can mumble.

  “Pick me up.” My heart fills with more love for this woman than I thought was possible. As angry as she is with me, she’s willing to be by my side. I don’t know what’s wrong with my father, but I sure as hell don’t want to find out without her next to me.

  I call Robert to bring the car immediately, quickly filling him in. As I make my way down to the reception, I step onto the sidewalk and out to the car. My mind is all over the place. I only need Cassie.

  Chapter 25

  Cassandra

  When we stepped out of the elevator, my gaze falls on Claudia, she was talking to a doctor. “What’s going on?” Lucien’s voice clipped, he hated her with a vengeance. Frankly, I do not blame him.

  “Lucien, this is Dr Shaw, he has done a few tests. He came out to give me the results.” Her eyes fell on me and the chill in her glare was ice on my skin.

  “Doctor,” offering his hand to the older man. The doctor gave a small smile and told us that Lucien’s father was in a critical condition. He had suffered another stroke, more serious than the first. They had to operate due to bleeding directly on the brain. The problem however was that his heart wasn’t strong enough to fight through the after effects. They cannot give any more information until he wakes up. It could be a few hours or two days. My heart leaped into my throat and I couldn’t think, my mind whirling with worry. When the doctor walked away, Lucien turned on Claudia, “What the fuck happened? He was fine!” Her sneer was undeniable.

  “Lucien, please. Don’t cause a scene. Nothing happened.” She dropped her voice and stalked towards the small room reserved for family. Once the door closed behind us, she sat down in one of the armchairs and crossed one leg over the other like she was posing for a photograph. Ever the cold hearted bitch I realized she was.

  “Claudia, I am
not in the mood for fucking games. You need to tell me what the fuck happened with my father!” Lucien’s voice grew an octave and boomed in the tiny room. His grip on my hand was tightening, and the anger vibrating through him, flowing into me. Like we were connected in more than just a physical sense. As angry as I was with him for what I witnessed in his office, this was something even I couldn’t deny him. I had to be by his side through this. I owed him that much. After, I don’t think I can promise him anything more. The thought of that constricted my heart painfully, and I took a deep breath.

  “Lucien, you need to sit down. We need to talk about your father’s will and final wishes. His condition is serious.” When she glanced up I recognized the calculating stare, all she cared about was the money and what she would get if anything happened to Lucien’s father. My blood ran cold.

  “Fuck you!” Lucien spat the words, spinning around, he tugged me out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Everything he was feeling, I did too, the pain, the anger, and the love for his father.

  “Lucien,” my voice a low murmur.

  “Not now.” He pulled me along, I had no choice but to follow, his grip on my hand was so tight the blood flow had stopped going to my fingers. He tugged me into an empty room, closing the door, he pinned me against it. “Give me your light baby, please.” He sounded so broken, torn, and so desperate. The electricity between us whirled, the air in the room thick with emotion. His voice raspy, I recognized the pain etched on his beautiful face. Realizing what he needed, the only way I could take his pain away. With my hand on his erection, I squeezed, and stroked him over the soft material of his pants. When his eyes closed, a low growl vibrated deep in his throat. “Fuck this, I need to be inside you.” His hands tugged my sweats and panties down in a swift move, allowing me to step out of them. When he rose, his mouth came down over mine, sealing my lips with his. Opening my mouth, his tongue licked into me.
