The family drama left him restless enough that as soon as he got to his place, he headed to the pool for a swim. Even twenty laps across the sizeable pool weren’t enough to soothe him. After showering, he tried watching a movie, but it just left him feeling jitterier. Before he knew it, he’d reached for his phone.
“Hello?” Sin’s husky voice echoed over the line. Just hearing her voice was enough to soothe some of his agitation.
Since he didn’t have a valid reason for calling, he fabricated one. “Did you finish proofing the Hoop Squad contract?”
“Yes, I did,” she said. “I sent it to you yesterday.”
“Print it out and bring me a copy.”
“Um… sir,” she reminded him, “it’s the weekend.”
“I know.”
“And I’m not in the office.”
“Neither am I,” he retorted. “Bring the contract to my apartment. My address is…”
As soon as he was done rattling off the directions to his place, he hung up on her, giving her no time to protest. Seconds later, she called him. He didn’t pick up. She called again. He didn’t pick up. If she was clever, she’d take the hint. He wanted her to come to his place and he wasn’t taking no for an answer. She called two more times then gave up.
Grinning, Worth settled on the couch, waiting for her.
* * *
WAS THIS MAN serious? Sin stared at her phone disbelief. What kind of inconsiderate jerk calls his assistant over the weekend to ask her to print out a document that he can access on his own – a document that isn’t even urgent?
The most sensible thing to do was to send him a text and let him know that she couldn’t go to his apartment. Heck, she could even say that she was out of the city and thus unable to do as he wished.
Yes, that was the sensible thing to do.
Sin clicked on the message icon on her phone, even started to think of how to phrase the message. However, her fingers refused to take her brain’s cue. Was it so bad to go to his place? they tempted. The man had been on her mind since the previous day. After that scorching make-out session in his office and the resultant desperation from not being finished off, Worth Ransom was all she could think about, and dream about, and lust after.
She ached to see him. Okay, fine… seeing him wasn’t all she wanted to do to him. But that didn’t mean she’d succumb to those sinful thoughts, Sin insisted even as she changed into a sexy red-t-shirt dress that had thigh high slits on its sides and clung to her curves. No, of course not.
Besides, she couldn’t sleep with Worth yet. Not until her doubts about Claire were cleared. Still, that didn’t mean she couldn’t satisfy her aching need to see him. To compliment the dress, she put on a pair of wedge sandals. She’d just drop by his place, drop off the contract while covertly taking a look at what he was up to then pop right back out.
Yup! That’s what she’d do.
Fortunately, Ten wasn’t around to question her logic. After downloading the document then printing it out, Sin headed out the door. Her building wasn’t too far from Worth’s and it took her less than twenty minutes to get there. Butterflies danced in her stomach as she took the elevator up to his apartment. By the time she rang his doorbell, her heart was practically in her mouth.
All it took was that one ring for him to open the door.
This was the first time Sin was seeing Worth in anything other than gym clothes and suits. The man looked delicious in his white v-neck tee, beige khaki shorts and white socks. But that wasn’t what caught her attention. It was the wide smile he greeted her with that made her heart give an odd thump.
“You’re here,” he stated simply as his eyes looked her up and down with a lazy arrogance.
“Yeah.” She nodded.
“Good.” He reached for her wrist and pulled her into his apartment.
Sin didn’t even have time to take a look around the apartment. Even before the door had fully closed behind them, Worth was dragging her into his arms. By the time he lowered his head, she was already lifting on tiptoes to meet him. He crushed his mouth to hers with a passion she’d never thought possible.
His mouth was hot over hers and his tongue wild as it parted her lips and pushed inside. He shuffled forward, pushing her backwards until she was pinned to the door. His palms hit the door, framing her head while he taunted her with his lips.
Sin couldn’t help the throaty moan that tore from her throat when he pressed his body into hers. When he flattened her breasts with his hard chest and ground the hardness behind his zipper into her stomach electric heat swept through her. Moisture pooled between her thighs, and she couldn’t help but grind her body against his.
Suddenly his hands were on her, sweeping over her arms, squeezing her waist and skimming her hips to settle at the back of her naked thighs.
“Oh!” Her breath gushed out in a sharp gasp when he hitched her up.
Instinct drove her to wrap her legs around his waist. As her arms automatically went around his neck, her purse and the shopping bag that contained the contract he’d asked for fell to the floor. Forgotten.
Worth was the first man she’d met who could make her lose her mind like this. His hot, deep kisses erased every bit of rational thought until all she could do was feel and touch. Though a part of her knew that she needed to stop this, her lips refused to say the word ‘no’. Instead of pushing him away, she kissed his forehead and face, nipping at his skin, while he carried her deeper into his house.
His bedroom was huge, airy and luxuriously furnished. A row of glass sliding doors that led to the balcony lined one of the walls, offering a magnificent view of the city beyond. Sin never got to enjoy that view. She was too busy trying to stay sane as Worth made love to her mouth with slow, sliding thrusts.
Gently, he set her on the bed. He took a moment to help her get rid of her shoes then joined her on the bed. They knelt on the bed while their hands and mouths explored each other.
Worth was all hard, rippling muscles and warmth. Sin couldn’t get enough of him. She smoothed her hands over his broad shoulders and toned torso, exploring him over his t-shirt. He returned her every touch with a touch of his own. His hands on her waist, her back, her ass, caressing her. When he slowly lifted her dress to her armpits, she readily lifted her arms. He dragged the dress over her head and tossed it somewhere beside the bed, leaving her in just her purple bra and v-string panties.
“Damn!” His voice was deep, husky and filled with undeniable desire. The look in his eyes as he took in her half-naked state sent an odd pang straight to her pussy. It was a look of complete adoration as he gave her a slow onceover, almost as if he couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing.
“Christ, you’re beautiful,” he mumbled. His hand came up to cup one breast then squeeze it.
“Worth,” she gasped as all her blood rushed to that area. Her breast swelled beneath his touch and her breath heaved in and out of her lungs. His touch was like silk, sliding against her flesh and leaving her trembling in its wake.
He sat on the bed then dragged her closer until she was seated on his lap. Beneath her she could feel the evidence of his own desire jutting against her pussy. Without conscious thought, she ground harder against his erection, drawing a pained groan from him.
“Fuck!” he growled as he wrapped her up in a hug before reaching upwards to unsnap her bra. As he pulled apart from her, he took the bra with him, leaving her upper body naked.
Sin instinctively crossed her arms over her twins but Worth wasn’t having it.
“I want to see,” he demanded as he pulled one of her arms away. She had no choice but to obey. Her arms fell away and his gaze lowered. By the instant heat that flashed in his eyes, it was obvious that he liked what he saw. His hot gaze was enough to pebble her nipples.
“Very nice,” he complimented with a smile before kissing her cheek then coming for her lips.
His kiss was sweet, but it was nothing compared to the sensations that soared within her wh
en both his hands came up to touch her bare flesh. His big hands were the perfect fit; they surrounded her swollen tits and caressed them just the way she liked. When he pinched both rigid tips, she whimpered against his lips.
“You like that?” he whispered then did it again.
“Yesss…” She arched into his touch with a hiss.
“What about this?” He lowered his head.
Having his lips touch her nipple was like being struck by lightning. Electric heat flooded her to center at that sharp point where his mouth was. Lovingly, carefully, he suckled that tip, flicked it with his tongue then nipped it lightly.
“Aaah… oh…” Sin moaned in unrestrained pleasure when he gave the same treatment to her other tit. Threading her fingers through her hair, she watched him taunt and pleasure her breasts. When he came back up to kiss her, she was ready for him and she met him with all the need that was nipping at her.
The kiss was open-mouthed and deep. It left no doubt that she really, really liked what he was doing to her. When he urged her to lie back on the bed, she went willingly. He only took a moment off to draw his t-shirt up his body and toss it away before he followed her down.
“You taste amazing,” he murmured as he settled over her, his lower body nestled in between thighs.
“You too.” She puckered up to meet his kiss.
Given the heat that had been smoldering between them for the last two weeks, Sin expected him to go fast and hard. However, judging by Worth’s slow, deep and thorough kiss, it was clear that he wanted to savor her for a long, long time.
He moved to lie beside her while his hands skimmed over her body. Her breasts, her upper torso, her lower stomach… slowly, he eased his hand over her mound. The flames already consuming her leaped in excitement, became hotter. When he lowered his hand between her thighs to caress her over her panties, she couldn’t help her whimper.
“Worth.” She thrust her hips upwards. “Please!”
“I like hearing my name on your lips.” His voice was raspy and filled with desire as he smoothed his hand beneath her panties. “You want me, don’t you?”
“Yesss,” she hissed when he finally touched flesh.
“Yes, what?” He pushed his finger between the plump petals and found her nub.
“Oh my… Jeez… Wor…” Her words faded into oblivion as sensation rocketed through her. The way he was touching her, the way he was slowly circling that nub, the way he dragged his finger downwards then forced it into her. Her fingers dug into his back in desperation. “Ah… ah… ah…”
“Easy, sweetheart,” he soothed when she jerked her hips upwards to meet that wicked finger. But how could she relax when he was driving her this mad? Impossible. When he added a second finger, she almost jumped out of her skin.
“Oh, God… stop… it’s too much,” she pleaded as she squeezed his fingers inside her.
“No.” Worth gave her an open-mouthed kiss as he lifted off the bed to hover over her. His voice was rough and his drawl slurred with passion as he asked, “Do you know how long I’ve wanted you? How much I’ve wanted to do this?”
The eroticism of his words and the way he was working her pussy left Sin almost numb with desire. Moaning, she brought her arms up to surround his neck. Worth gave her one last kiss on the mouth before licking his way down her body. When he knelt between her legs and reached for the sides of her panties, she raised her hips to give him the space he needed to drag the garment off her.
Then she was naked.
Worth kissed her knee before forcing her legs apart so he could see her. If she wasn’t already turned on, the look in his eyes would’ve done the job. His gaze was darker than she’d ever seen it and stark passion lined his face. For a while, he just stared at her sex, as if he was tattooing her into his memory. When he licked his bottom lip in obvious hunger, heat like she’d never felt before shot through her.
By the time he scooted backwards to lie on his stomach with his head between her legs, she was already delirious. When he set his mouth on her, she was past the point of no-return. She clung to the sheets and writhed on the bed as he played her. Like a guitar, he made music with her body. Each strum of his firm tongue against her clit was like a flame licking her body.
“Worth!” She screamed when his long fingers slid inside her.
With slow steady thrusts of his fingers tempered by flicks of his tongue against her clit, he brought her closer and closer to the edge. Her eyes rolled back and lids fluttered closed as sensation after sensation bombarded and battered her. Soon it became too much for her to handle. The spasms and convulsions started then.
Every inch of her body seemed to be throbbing. Even her skin tingled. As his strokes became faster and faster, her body began bucking, splintering. Stars exploded behind her eyes. Ecstasy! She could feel it melting through her body, from her head all the way to her toes. She sunk into her release, letting the waves drag her higher and higher into their peak until finally, she broke.
By the time she floated back down to reality she was so worn out she barely registered Worth stripping off his clothes and sheathing himself. It was only when he knelt between her spread legs that she noticed that he was completely naked.
This was the perfect time to put an end to all this madness, her common sense whispered, but her other senses promptly drowned it out. The sight of his long, hard cock so dangerously close to her pussy was enough to send fresh heat pulsing through her. When he leaned over her, bracketing her upper body between his arms, then lined his cock right between her plump lips and started to rub, she went mad.
“Please, Worth.” She jerked upwards.
“Please what?” He ground his length against her clit, wetting himself with her cream.
She answered non-verbally, moving her hips so that the head of his shaft came to rest at her entrance.
But it wasn’t answer enough for Worth. Instead of pushing in, he paused, teasing her, as he whispered against her lips. “Ask me to fuck you.”
Sin didn’t want to surrender, but when he let just his head enter her then stopped again, she had no choice. She moaned, “Fuck me!”
“Good girl.” His lips lifted in a smile, Worth flexed his length then slowly sunk into her.
CHAPTER 12
Worth couldn’t believe how responsive she was. He couldn’t believe how her every whimper, scream, and moan had the power to make him want her more and more. He fixed his mouth over hers and forced her into a hot, desperate kiss as he slowly entered her.
Her wild, wide-eyed gaze was fixed on him, and her fingers dug into his upper arms as he pushed himself in slowly but relentlessly. The further he went in the more her lips parted until her mouth was open in a silent scream. Still he pushed in, in, in, in until he was completely inside her.
“Ah! Jeez,” he moaned low in his throat, but the scream that tore from her throat drowned out his voice.
“Worth,” she moaned his name as she clung to him tightly.
Damn! She was tight and hot. Pleasure like he’d never felt before shot through him. The muscles in her pussy rippled along his cock and clung to him like velvet gloves, squeezing and caressing him. If he was still green, he would’ve come right then. Still, even with all his experience, he had to bury his head in her shoulder and take a few breaths first.
When he brought his head back up, he found her with her eyes tightly shut and her small teeth biting her lush lower lip. He lowered his mouth to hers, soothing that lower lip with soft suckles before he came back up to watch her.
“You okay?” he asked, his voice so harsh he barely recognized it.
She opened her eyes and nodded.
It was all the green light he needed. Bracing his arms on either side of her body, he began to move. He started her off with slow, long, smooth strokes that were designed to drive her to the edge of madness, and they did. Every time he pumped into her, she moaned. Every time he swept out, her walls clung to him desperately as if begging him not to leave.
&n
bsp; He couldn’t take his eyes off her face. She was a vision of desire from those beautiful eyes, dark and dazed with passion, to the way she kept worrying her bottom lip with her teeth. Her ripe and full breasts bounced with his every stroke, drawing his gaze and his hands to them.
“God, I love these!” he grated out as he massaged one full breast.
His heart’s thudding became faster and his arousal intensified with each touch. When he squeezed her flesh then pinched its bullet tip, she gave a keening cry that went straight to his balls. When she swept her hands down his back to his ass and squeezed as if asking him to drive deeper, it was all he could to hold on to his sanity. Her keening cries and touch only made him want to fuck her harder.
He forced his arms beneath her legs, pushing them until her knees almost touched her breasts. The position was more open, more intimate. He dragged his cock out then slammed into her, hard, in a stroke that left both of them moaning. When he did it again, she whimpered. Again. She screamed.
Shit! He was losing control fast. But he wouldn’t cum first he promised even as desire sunk its fangs deeper into him. He closed his eyes, buried his head in her shoulder and gritted his teeth, forcing himself to hold on as he rode her.
In. Out. In. Out.
Her body started to tremble and her walls contracted around him. Her fingers dug painfully into his back as if she was barely clinging to her sanity.
“Oh…. Oh… oh… Wor… ah!” Sin shrieked as her body begun to convulse with her orgasm and her pussy began to ripple around his cock.
Her shrieks and jerks drove him mad with lust, spurred him on to even greater efforts. His strokes became sharper, faster and harder. His balls tightened and began to boil.
“Worth!” Sin screamed as she reached that peak.
It was that scream that did it. It broke him. There was nothing more he could do to hold back his own release. He let out a guttural groan as she dragged him into the star-filled abyss with her. On and on pleasure crushed into him. When it ebbed, it left him boneless and lightheaded from the intensity of it.
