Six Weeks of Seduction by Ellis O. Day

CHAPTER 32:  SARAH

“Nick, my arms,” said Sarah. They were getting numb from being restrained behind her back especially, since Nick was still flopped on top of her.

“Hmm. Oh, yeah. Sorry.” He kissed the side of her neck and leaned up.

She bit back a moan as he withdrew from inside her. She hated the emptiness when he left. She’d be fine if he stayed inside her always. Of course, that’d make meetings very awkward, even video meetings. She started to giggle but groaned instead as he freed her wrists and the blood poured back into her limbs.

“Here, baby. Let me.” He began massaging her shoulders and arms—his strong hands working out all the kinks.

She stretched out on the bed. “That feels so good.” This time she couldn’t stop the moan.

“You feel good.” He kissed the spot where her neck met her shoulder.

“Hmm.” She wiggled as a spark of desire warmed her blood again.

His hands moved to her back. “Your skin is so soft.” He kissed a trail down her spine. “I’ll never tire of touching you.”

She stiffened at his lie.

“What?” He massaged her ass.

“Nothing.” She tried to relax but the moment was gone.

“It’s not nothing. One minute you’re as soft and loose as a noodle and the next your stiff.” He sucked on her neck a little. “Like you make me.”

His hardening cock rested along the crease of her ass. “Again?”

“You drive me wild.” His mouth moved back to the sensitive spot where it met her shoulder. “I’ve never wanted anyone like I want you.”

She bit her lip to stop from asking, for how long.

“What’s wrong?” He rolled off her.

“Nothing.” She stayed on her stomach, unable to look at him.

“Don’t lie to me.” He skimmed his hand down her back as if unable to stop touching her.

She took a deep, shaky breath. There was no reason to ruin the little time they had together. “Really. I’m fine.” She turned her head and smiled at him.

He was lying on his side, using his elbow to prop himself up and his dark eyes studied her for a long moment.

She feared what he might see in her face. She was crazy for him but that’d send him fleeing faster than anything else and now that she had him, she wasn’t ready to lose her time with him. She shifted closer and kissed him. His mouth opened for her and the kiss was gentle without an agenda.

He rolled onto his back, pulling her into his arms.

“I have to leave soon.” She rested her head on his chest, his heart beat slow and steady beneath her ear.

“I know.” His hand skimmed up and down her back.

“You’re not mad?”

His hand stilled. “Why would I be mad?” He sat up. “Because you’re choosing to spend time with your dog instead of me?” He stood, grabbing his pants.

“That’s not…You don’t understand.” She sat up, clutching the blanket around her.

He yanked his pants up. “You’re right. I don’t.” He knelt on the bed and took her face in his hands. “Explain it to me.”

“I already did. Tank’s old. He doesn’t like being alone.” She hurried on before he could argue. “Or being in new places.”

“He’s a dog. He’ll get used to it.”

She shook her head. “No. He won’t and I won’t make him.” She pulled free from his hold and got out of bed, wrapping the blanket around her body.

“I’m not asking you to get rid of him or anything, just bring him here or stay for more than an hour.”

“I can’t and you know that.” She walked toward the living room. “I’ve got to go.”

He followed her. “You still have fifteen minutes.”

She dropped the blanket and pulled on her pants. “Yes, but I don’t feel like arguing with you, so I’m leaving.”

His eyes darkened while he watched her dress but he didn’t say anything. Obviously, he didn’t want to argue either.

She pulled on her shirt and grabbed the door handle. “Goodbye, Nick.”

“Wait.” In one step he had her against the door. He grabbed her jaw holding her in place as he lowered his mouth to hers. This kiss was hot and wet and made her want to wrap her body around his and never let go.

“I’ll see you tonight,” he said as he broke the kiss.
