His pulse hitched. He stroked her faster, harder. Her hips
raised and she took everything he gave her until her body tightened. Her nails
bit into his muscles and it spiked his arousal. Wicked little cries of pleasure
fell from her parted lips, making him half out of his mind with wanting her.

“Come for me.”

She did, calling out his name as her pussy clenched and
released his fingers, over and over, and her body trembled from head to toe.
Chase watched her ride out her orgasm, her eyes closed, her breathing unsteady.
She seemed to savor every second of it, taking her sweet time before her
eyelids finally fluttered open and she gazed at him with a mixture of
excitement and satisfaction.

“Well, at least I know I haven’t bored you,” he said with a
confident smirk.

 

You’re allowed to gloat,” Cassidy told him. “Both orgasms
were ridiculously fantastic. And about two hundred times more relaxing than
even the best massage.”

“I aim to please.” His boastful expression made her smile.

“Mission accomplished.”

“Hardly. We have two or three more to go.” He winked at her,
and her insides ignited once more.

Every inch of her tingled and excitement trilled down her
spine. All the passion and desire he evoked chased away the alarm and reticence
that had consumed her this evening. For the past two years, actually.

Chase kissed her, making her toes curl. Then he whispered
against her lips, “Do I get to call you Cass now, without pissing you off?”

She smiled again. “You’ve never pissed me off. I just felt
it was too personal for you to use the casual version of my name.”

His eyes shimmered with heat. “I’d say we’ve definitely
gotten personal tonight.”

A flash of doubt returned to her, causing Cassidy to wonder
about the repercussions of getting down and dirty with a coworker. But then
Chase kissed her once more and she lost all train of thought.

The man seriously knew what he was doing with that talented
mouth of his. Cassidy let him command her passion as his tongue delved deep and
twisted with hers in a sexy way that kept her hot and bothered.

She shoved his shirt off his shoulders and down his arms. He
worked the buttons at his wrists without even breaking their kiss and tossed
aside the material.

Cassidy ran her hands over his warm skin, reveling in the
way his muscles flexed beneath her touch. Her fingers skated over his smooth
chest and a shiver of delight rippled through her. Not that she could report
the discovery to Meg.

Then again, would she really be able to keep this evening’s
turn of events a secret? Surely, her glazed-over, awestruck eyes would give her
away come Monday morning.

“Hey,” Chase murmured. “Less analyzing, more enjoying.”

She laughed. “Believe me, I’m enjoying. The way you touch
me, the way you look at me. And good Lord, do I like you without a shirt.”

She admired the view as the flames in the hearth cast
shadows and light across his tanned skin and sculpted muscles.

“If I’d have known you were going to devour me with your
eyes like this,” he said, “I would have stripped down in your office the first
week I joined the company.”

“You are seriously hot. With or without your clothes.”

He kissed her, then said, “I already knew that you naked
would be my undoing.” His gaze slid over her. “You really are a beauty, Cass.
Not even the tiniest hint of tomboy.”

“Good to know.” The way he feasted on her with such hunger
in his cerulean irises sent sparks shooting through her. Cass had had no idea
she could get so turned-on by a man. Or that she could cut loose from all her
insecurities and stress points in order to experience the sort of passion Chase
incited.

But that very first kiss had been enough to send her flying
over the edge, for once not caring she had no chute. A very odd and unique
predicament to find herself in, but one that currently didn’t rattle her cage. It
might tomorrow morning when it fully hit her what they’d done, but at the
moment… Cass had no desire to climb back up to her safe perch on the outskirts
of this kind of sexy fun.

She said, “Tell me you carry a condom in your wallet.”

“With your name written on it.”

“Then prove to me that we can steam up all these gorgeous,
floor-to-ceiling windows.”

“Oh without doubt.”

He reached into his pocket as she worked the belt at his
waist and then the button and zipper on his pants. He pulled out two condoms
and tossed one on the end table.

Cass grinned. “Doubly prepared?”

“I knew if I ever got a shot at this, one time wouldn’t be
enough. I’d store a whole strand of them if they’d fit in my wallet.”

Her clit tingled at the thought of multiple rounds with
Chase Logan.

For the love of God, how had she even ended up in this
fortuitous situation? She could name a couple dozen women, right off the bat,
who’d give their eye teeth to be naked with Chase. And yet, the queen of first
dates and devastatingly disappointing sexual encounters was the one he wanted.

She didn’t mar the moment with the fear of Chase losing
interest once he’d had her. Sure, she’d tried to avoid any sort of wicked
interlude with him all night, but now that they’d ended up in this position,
she couldn’t deny this was exactly where she wanted to be. The searing chemistry
she shared with Chase was exactly what she needed.

He stood and toed off his shoes, then stepped out of his
pants and briefs. Leaving Cassidy to gape at him.

He chuckled, low and deep. A stirring sound that reverberated
inside her as much as it filled the quiet room.

Her gaze snapped up to meet his. His sandy brow crooked and
lust flitted in his ocean-blue eyes. Eyes she could easily drown in.

But Cassidy had something else on her mind.

“Maybe you really should have stripped down in my office
that first week,” she said as she all but licked her lips. “What a shame I’ve
missed out on all that you have to offer.”

“I kept trying to get you on my bandwagon. You are one
stubborn woman.”

“Not tonight,” she said. “
No
has been temporarily
eliminated from my vocabulary.”

“A green light I’m planning to take advantage of.”

He tore open the foil packet and slowly rolled the latex
down his wide shaft. The man truly was magnificent from head to toe. And Meg
had been right once more—that was one hell of an erection he sported. She
practically salivated over him.

Chase moved between her legs again. He hooked his powerful
forearms under the backsides of her knees and spread her wide. She wrapped her
fingers around his base and stroked him slowly. He groaned. Fire shot through
her veins.

She guided his cock to her opening and rubbed his tip along
her sensitive flesh. His jaw tightened and his eyes blazed.

“You’re toying with me,” he said in a strained tone.

“Just enjoying, as you requested.”

“You’ll enjoy it much more if you’ll quit holding me back.”

She released him and he plunged deep, pushing a sharp breath
of air from her lungs. He gave her a few seconds to adjust to the way he filled
and stretched her. And holy hell, did he feel incredible.

True to his word, though, it got even better.

He pulled almost all the way out of her, then thrust again,
making her cry out.

“Chase. Oh God.” Her gaze locked with his and everything
inside of her sizzled and snapped at the raw intensity in his eyes. The desire.
The need. The
burning
need…

He moved inside her with full, confident strokes that had
her panting harshly. He buried himself to the hilt and grunted sexily.

“Cass.” His voice was gruff. “Goddamn, you feel amazing.
Better than anything I’ve ever known.”

He plunged and retreated, hitting all the right spots and
pushing her toward that glorious precipice once more. So quickly. He turned her
inside out and made her absolutely crazed for him in short order.

“Fuck me hard,” she demanded, desire taking hold of her.

“I wasn’t planning on fucking you.”

“Just do it.
Please.
Chase… I really need this.”

He slipped an arm from the back of her knee, planted his
hand along her side and leaned over her. With the other hand, he slid her leg
up so it draped over his shoulder. He pressed into her, his cock pumping
slowly, his chest melding to hers.

She felt him so deep inside her that it stole her breath.
She squeezed him tight and he groaned.

“Yeah, just like that,” he said.

Cassidy milked his thick shaft as he continued to pump in
and out of her. She held on to his biceps, keeping him close to her, loving the
intimate connection and the feel of his hot skin and hard muscles against her
body. All the while, he stared into her eyes as though cataloging all the fiery
sensations no doubt reflected in them. Because she also felt them to the core
of her being.

Those sensations raged brighter when Chase picked up the
pace and hammered into her as though he were losing control of himself.

“Yes,” she said on a long breath. “Jesus, yes.”

Nothing had ever felt so good, and although she wanted to
hang on to the wild, scorching-hot flurry within her, she couldn’t fight back
the pressure mounting along the edges. Seconds later, all the erotic sensations
converged and erupted and she cried out his name as she came, even more
intensely than the last two times. So intense, it rocked her. She clenched his
cock as her release roared through her.

Chase thrust harder and then she felt his dick surge and his
body convulse.

“Oh shit,” he ground out. “Cass.” He came inside her with a
violent shudder that thrilled her.

She squeezed him tight and he shuddered again.

“That is so good,” he said in a rough tone. “So fucking
good.”

Cassidy couldn’t disagree. Technically, she couldn’t really
think straight. Blood rushed through her and her body vibrated with excitement.

He told her, “This is what it’s supposed to be like, babe.
Hotter than hell.”

“I didn’t think it was possible with me.”

“I keep telling you. It’s not you. All you needed was me.”
He gave her a flirty grin. Again…she wasn’t inclined to disagree with the man.

It took some doing for them to catch their breath. Then
Chase disentangled himself from her and stood.

He chuckled and said, “Serious lack of blood in the head.”

“Little dizzy?”

“Little mind-blown. Which is funny, because I wanted
you
to feel that way.”

“Trust me, I do.”

His eyes skimmed over her. “That pose and those rosy cheeks
would make one hell of a portrait to hang in my office.”

She blanched. He laughed a bit heartier.

“My
home
office,” he clarified.

“Not a whole lot better. I’d prefer to not be on public
display.”

“Fine. My bedroom. Whatever.” He bent forward and kissed
her. Then he snatched his briefs and sauntered off to the bathroom.

Cassidy watched him go, thinking there likely wasn’t a male
specimen more deserving of the lustful sigh that swelled in her throat.

And holy hell had he taken her to places she’d never known
existed! Sure, she’d had a feeling that Chase had more than a healthy dose of
potential when it came to sufficiently ringing her bell. But she’d honestly
believed that, despite his obvious sexual prowess, she’d be too frigid or
reserved or whatever for it to be hot between them.

How wrong she’d been!

As she stretched and then wrapped the fur around her naked
body, another wave of excitement moved through her. She crossed to the
fireplace and took in the whole romantic ambience of the flames and the soft
glow of light that filled the house. Snow continued to fall, glittery in the
moonlight the way it had been at the country club when she’d admired the view.
Only this time, it seemed more intimate. More sensual. Because of Chase.

She pressed two fingertips to her quivering lips. He’d
kissed her with more passion than she knew one person could possess. Until he’d
ignited hers, drawing it out of her effortlessly.

Now that she’d had a taste of Chase Logan, though, she was a
little worried about how addicting he was. How much she already craved more of
him. And Cassidy suspected he had more creative tactics up his sleeve. She
wanted to experience every ounce of pleasure he was willing to dole out.

Stifling a giggle—from a woman who wasn’t the giggling
type—she let the worry slip away. She refused to spoil the rest of the evening.
She was uncharacteristically willing to pull a full-on Scarlett O’Hara and push
the worry off until tomorrow.

Chase joined her and wrapped his arms around her from
behind. His warm lips grazed her neck, finding a particularly sensitive spot
behind her ear that made her ache for him again.

“You’re something to look at no matter what you wear. This
is damn sexy.”

“I felt a little chilly after all that heat dissipated.”

“My bad. Let me get you all hot and bothered again.”

She sighed contentedly. “All I need to do is recall what
you’ve done to me thus far and I’ll melt right here at your feet.”

He nibbled her neck, sending her nerve endings into a
complete tizzy.

“Jesus, Chase,” she said when she found her voice. “You are
the personification of sexual potency.”

“You bring out the animal in me. I was pretty tame earlier.
Didn’t want to spook you.”

A tingle down her spine made her flirt back. “It’d be okay
if you forgot that I’m just three sexual encounters past virginity.”

“I wouldn’t have guessed. You weren’t exactly holding back.
Didn’t balk at anything I wanted to do to you, either.”

“I guess I never mentioned that when I set my mind to
something, I totally go for it.”

“I know that’s true about your work.” His tongue teased her
earlobe before he gently sucked on it. Shock waves reverberated throughout her.
“I just wasn’t sure how far you’d let me go.”
