Deadly Temptations (6 page)

AFTER
about half an hour, Denise found she couldn
’t sleep. Too many images
rolling around in her head. She glanced over and Mader’s eyes were closed but
she could tell he wasn’t in deep sleep. His brow was scrunched over his eyes as
if he were in pain. He shouted and sat up, scaring the holy shit out of her.
She came up with him and rubbed his back, her heart jack hammering in her
chest. “Shhh. It was just a nightmare,”

“Actually, it was a
replay of what happened,” he murmured when his breathing stilled.

Denise stroked his
thick, dark hair. “Listen, we have to move past this. I don’t want her between
us, ever.”

He glanced back at
her. “I know. It’s just hard to accept that I had to take a life today. But I
would do it again if it meant keeping you safe”

Denise smiled and
pressed her lips to his. His arms wrapped around her and pushed her back onto
the soft mattress. Moving between her legs, he kissed his way down to her
stomach. She pushed her head back into the plush pillows when his tongue ran a
lazy trail around her belly button then continued downward.

Denise went up on her
elbows to watch. Big mistake, his eyes were right on her as he took that first
taste. Her head fell back from her shoulders. She moaned as his tongue took her
to the brink and then back again. She was about to scream with both pleasure
and frustration.

Denise laid flat and
pulled at his biceps, trying to get him to finish her. Instead, he kept at her,
pressing his lips to her core until she shuddered from the intense friction.
How long was he going to keep this up?

MADER
closed
his eyes
and enjoyed her
essence. She was so ready for him, he could taste it. Her body was strung
tight, ready to explode and he knew the moment he entered her, it would happen,
so he continued to lap and tease her.

He wanted her crazy
with need and he thought he was just about to get his wish. Sure enough, a
scream of epic proportion tore out of her. Her hips pushed up and her fingers
dug into his scalp as she gyrated against him. When she stilled, he moved up
over her.

Time for round two.

HE
smiled d
own at her
but the tight
set of his jaw told her he was having trouble holding back. Denise opened her
legs. He didn’t waste time settling in, his shaft was deep inside her before
she had taken her next breath.

She wrapped her legs
around his waist and held on for the ride. By the looks of it, he wasn’t going
to make this soft and gentle and she was so onboard with that.

In moments, their
bodies were slick with sweat, making the rub delicious. Denise’s second climax
roared through her as Mader strained for his release. They came together in a
tangle of limbs, his arms wrapped around her back, pinning her in place as he
spurted into her.

Mader kissed her neck
then her lips. “Fucking A, that was unbelievable.”

“I would agree with
that.” She pushed the hair back from his forehead when he rose to look at her.

He touched her cheek.
“I’m glad you’re here.”

“So am I.” She smiled.

Angie was released
from the hospital after suffering a bad concussion. She returned to work with a
big smile and a whole lot of new attitude. Nobody would ever push her around
again.

The firm landed the
biggest deal of the year thanks to Mader and Denise whose relationship had
taken no one in the office by surprise.

Corporate was actually
quite happy with the union since the expansion of their business and honestly,
they couldn’t afford to lose them.

The downsizing never
happened due to the revenue from the Hansen Project which opened doors they by
no means thought about walking through.

Jones had been good
enough to contact Mader in order to put him out of his misery. Johnny Seth had
confessed everything, including the fact Gina had lied regarding the affair.

As for the background
checks, they were now being done nationwide because you just never knew who
worked right under your nose.
