“Do you mind explaining that rude display?” I could tell Joshua was having a difficult time keeping his voice calm.
“I could ask you the same thing!”
“What are you talking about?” He seemed genuinely confused.
“I saw you and your little girlfriend making out in the corner. How tacky Joshua, we were at a formal event for charity!”
I could not have anticipated the explosion that was about to happen.
“Do not ever speak to me like that!” His voice roared throughout the Rolls Royce, but the driver was not fazed at all. He stared straight ahead and kept driving.
I suddenly felt that I had crossed a line and I didn’t know how to fix it. We rode in silence the entire way back to the hotel. I could feel Joshua’s anger and I was afraid that I had just ruined everything.
CHAPTER EIGHT
“We’re going to my room.” I had never heard him sound like this. His voice was completely devoid of emotion. My heart was literally pounding against my chest as I just dutifully followed behind him. We entered his beautiful room and he walked directly upstairs. I didn’t want to ask any questions so I just followed him. As soon as we walked into his bedroom he spun me around and pushed me against the wall. His hard body molded against my back and I felt his hands run down by body.
“Watching you, with Conrad’s hands on you, drove me crazy tonight,” he murmured as his tongue lightly flicked my earlobe. I could feel his hard length against my backside and I thought I would melt into the wall. “I don’t want anyone else’s hands on your body but mine,” his lips traced the outline of my ear. I felt him slowly unzip my dress and I remembered what I saw in the alcove. I tried to move away from him but he was too strong.
My hands were flat against the wall when I decided to say something.
“I saw you kissing Natalia tonight. She told me that you two were getting back together. If that’s true, why am I here?” My voice was very small and I tried to disguise the hurt I felt, but it was obvious. I could feel the tears coming and tried to hold them back. Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.
He stopped, and slowly zipped my dress up before turning me around. I leaned against the wall, nervously picking at my fingernails, looking down at the floor. Do I really want to hear this? He put a finger under my chin and gently lifted my tear stained eyes to his. He held my face in his hands as his eyes longingly searched mine. He then placed a gentle kiss on my lips.
“What you saw, sweet Sarah, was Natalia kissing me. She grabbed me and pulled me to her. What you didn’t see was me pulling away from her and telling her there would never be another chance with us and she should move on. You’re here because I want you here.”
He leaned down to kiss me and a light moan escaped from my lips. He grabbed a fistful of my hair, pulled my head back and ran his tongue along my collar bone up to the delicate skin behind my ear. He pressed his hard body against mine, deliciously crushing me against the wall. I felt his hands run down either side of my hips and he turned me around, his body molding against my back, pressing me against the wall. He pushed my hair to the side and kissed the back of my neck. He let out a low groan as he started moving his hips against my backside. I felt him slowly unzip my dress, lightly planting kisses down my back. I heard him fall to his knees behind me.
“Step out of your dress.” He voiced was filled with lust.
I stepped out of my dress and stood there wearing my black lace bra, matching thong panty, garter, sheer hose and Valentino heels. I heard Joshua’s sharp intake of breath as his hands roamed over my butt cheeks. I felt his warm breath against my ear.
“You look so fucking sexy.” His words elicited a soft moan from me. “I like that you wore this just for me.”
I could feel the wetness between my thighs soaking my panties. My core ached for him and longed to be touched. My forehead rested against the wall as I heard him fall to his knees behind me.
“Spread your legs.”
I opened my legs for him and felt his lips kiss one cheek, then the other. I felt his hands push my cheeks apart, kneading them as he leaned in to trace each cheek with his tongue. His warm tongue slowly traced around one cheek, stopping to lick up the crease, and then licking up and around the other cheek. I heard him groan as he buried his face between my buttocks, licking my most intimate opening. His tongue pressed inside the tight space and I let out a small cry as feelings of pleasure caused my skin to tingle all over. He slowly pulled away from me and walked over to his bureau. When he returned, I heard him open the condom wrapper and heard lubricant being squirted. I felt his bulbous tip gently press against my opening. The lubricant allowed him to slide in easier, past the tight ring, as my rear walls closed in around his cock. Our heavy breathing filled the air as he rotated his hips and I pressed back into him. One strong arm snaked around my waist, while the other entwined his fingers in mine. I felt the wetness between my legs move down my thighs. He held me tightly against him and I squeezed his hand as sensations began to build.
I wanted to bring him pleasure first. I undulated my hips, pressing back against him. His jagged breaths told me I was doing something right, so I increased my pace. Joshua increased his pace with me as he began to thrust into me. I had one hand on the wall as he held me tight, increasing his thrusts. I felt his body tense and then heard a loud grunt as he shuddered and came loudly. His forehead rested against my back as he caught his breath. He slowly pulled away from me. My throbbing center was begging to be touched. Joshua grabbed my hand and walked me over to his bed.
“Lie down.” I did as I was told as a blindfold covered my eyes. This is new. All of my other senses were heightened when my sight was temporarily blocked. I was surprised at how much I liked the added suspense. I could sense Joshua walking around the bed but I wasn’t quite sure where he was. Suddenly, I felt the bed give a little as he joined me there.
“Knees up.”
I put my knees up only to feel fingers run down my thigh towards my essence. His fingers delved and slid in between my sensitive folds as I raised my hips off the bed, begging him to touch me more.
I heard him chuckle. “What do you want my pet? Do you want me to go deep like this?” He thrust two fingers inside of me and I cried out, my body suffused with desire. “Do you want more?” His fingers manipulated my inner walls as I writhed around on the bed.
“Yes, sir. Please, sir.”
“Do you belong to me?” His fingers continued their manipulation.
“Yes, sir.” My hips rotated against his fingers.
“Will you allow another man to touch you intimately?” His fingers went even deeper.
I cried out with pleasure. “No, sir.” My breath was coming in short gasps.
Suddenly I felt his tongue licking the sensitive bud between my legs. He applied more pressure as he made long, slow movements with his tongue. He then quickened his pace with his tongue, deftly moving his fingers in and out of me. I let out a loud cry as I felt my orgasm rocket to the surface, my body exploding with sensation. I lay there, basking in the sensation as my body shuddered against his fingers.
Without saying a word, Joshua’s lips closed around one nipple while pinching the other between his thumb and forefinger. My already sensitive body responded to his touch as I felt him climb on top of me. I felt the tip of his cock slowly enter my tender opening. I quickly wrapped my legs around him, gripping him with my thighs, pulling him in deeper. My need was raw, and wanted to be satisfied. I wound my arms around his neck and his lips came crashing down on mine with pure passion. His tongue found my own, desperate, yearning, and needing. He ripped off the blindfold, put his arm under my knee, pulling it up, allowing him deeper access. I arched my body toward him as our haggard breaths permeated the still air. He began to thrust inside me, slow and deep, at first. His other hand slid up my body to my hardened nipple, pinching it between his fingers. My eyes were closed as I reveled in all of the sensations.
“Look at me.”
My eyes flew open and I looked into his beautiful, intense eyes. His gorgeous face hovered above me. You are so very beautiful. My hands traveled over his perfect chest, lines of well-developed muscle proudly exhibited. He started to quicken his thrusts. My fingers grabbed his shoulders, using them for leverage, as I arched my hips to meet his thrusts. Each word was accentuated by a thrust.
“You. Belong. To. Me. Say it.”
“I belong to you.” The words barely audible as my breath came in gasps.
“Again! You! Belong! To! Me!” His thrusts were faster and harder now.
“I belong to you!” I cried out as our hips moved together, his cock repeatedly hitting me deep inside.
He leaned down to my ear. “Come for me.” His sexy whisper was the catalyst that pushed me over the edge. Waves of sensation washed over me as my orgasm rose to meet me for the second time. My body shuddered uncontrollably underneath him as his eyes noted my every movement. His pace quickened, his thrusts shorter and faster, as he hurled himself toward his release. A loud grunt escaped his lips, as his body, hard as an iron rod, quivered as he came. He collapsed on top of me, his breathing coming in ragged gasps, his weight a welcome comfort. I held him close for a while, basking in the afterglow, until he rolled off of me.
He turned on his side, and propped himself up to look at me, gently moving my hair out of my eyes. His eyes earnestly searched mine, some sort of emotion written all over his face. What are you thinking Joshua? What do you need? He leaned in to give me a gentle kiss.
“Sarah, Sarah…” His voice came in whispers as it trailed off.
I lay there silent, not knowing what he wanted from me. He entwined his fingers in mine and searched my eyes once again. Finally, he spoke but it wasn’t what I wanted to hear.
“We should get some sleep. We leave tomorrow.”
“Oh no! I haven’t packed a thing!”
He chuckled. “Don’t worry. That was taken care of while we were at the charity ball.”
I sighed with relief. “Oh, right. I forgot that you told me that would be taken care of.” Somehow I mustered the courage to ask the next question.
“Shall I go back to my room?” My heart was pounding as I waited for the answer. Oh how I wish I could feel your arms around me all night.
“It probably would be best. I will walk you to your door.”
We got dressed and when we arrived at my door, he leaned down to kiss me on the cheek. “Thank you for a wonderful evening.” Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. “Sleep well. The car will pick us up at 10:00 a.m. to go to the airport. I will see you then.”
I walked into my room and leaned against the door as it closed. I took a deep breath and thought about the night’s events. My feelings for Joshua had escalated beyond anything I expected. A feeling of sadness fell over me as reality began to settle in. We were going home the next day and my private time with Joshua was probably over. Feeling blue, I changed into pajamas, curled up on the bed and drifted off to sleep.
CHAPTER NINE
The following morning I met Joshua in the lobby at 10:00. I decided to wear a beautiful, yet comfortable, Gucci dress for the long flight. I wanted to look nice for him. If this was going to be our final time alone together, I wanted him to remember how good I looked. Joshua gave me an approving look as his eyes roamed over my dress. When we stepped outside I noticed two cars waiting for us.
“We’re not riding in the same car?” Was everything between us over so quickly that he couldn’t stand to be in the same car with me?
“Of course we are. The other car is for Jake and Vivienne. They will be flying back with us on the jet.” Relief washed over me, and then happiness as I realized I would get to see Jake again. It was comforting to know that I would have a friend to chat with on the flight home.
All of our belongings were already loaded on the plane when we boarded. I was amazed that every bit of my new wardrobe had been dry-cleaned, and was packed and taken care of for me. The past 30 days had been a fantasy life for me, minus the difficult and long working days. I didn’t know that I would ever have the chance to experience anything like that again. I wanted to thank Joshua for all that he had done for me. I just had to find the right time to do it.
We were about an hour into the flight and Jake and I were chatting in our seats like two long lost friends. Vivienne was napping and Joshua was working in the conference room.
“Sarah, I want to thank you for the talk that we had. You gave me a lot to think about.”
“I only want what’s best for you Jake. But I understand that you need to do everything in your own time.”
“I do. And trust me, I will.”
Just then Joshua called me in to the conference room. He wanted to go over part of the Donnelly file, one of our older clients.
“This is what you will be working on when we get back to New York.” He handed me a brown accordion folder.
“Joshua, I want to tell you something.”
He stopped what he was doing and looked at me.
“I want to thank you for this incredible, life-changing opportunity that you gave me. I learned so much in Dubai. I will be eternally grateful to you. Your generosity while I was here…I mean the clothes, the shoes, the beautiful hotel…everything…thank you.”
He seemed a bit caught off guard and uncomfortable with my gratitude and just gave me a curt, “You’re welcome.”
One of these days you are going to open up to me. And not just when we are in the bedroom. I was shocked by my confidence that we would be together again, but there was something between us. I couldn’t just let him get away. I decided to accept his curt reply without pressing him for more. He knew that I was grateful and that is what mattered.
“Well, if that’s all, I am going to take this file back to my chair and have a look at it there. I am assuming we will have a meeting on this first thing Monday morning?” I was all business again.
“We actually are all making a quick detour for a few days.”
This completely shocked me. I felt a nervousness in my belly that I hadn’t experienced since first meeting Joshua.
“A detour? Where are we going?”
He held my gaze and I saw a hint of mischief in his eyes. “It’s a surprise.”
