I don’t even make eye contact, just push past her to make my biggest mistake. My restraint unravels with each step. I reach my office door, and Scarlett is already standing beside it, waiting for the ride, ticket in hand.
Waiting for me. Waiting to be ruined by me. So breathless and lit from within that her skin is glowing.
I unlock the door and push it open. “Get in.”
She walks past me, and my restraint fucking evaporates. I slam the door shut, done pretending either of us can stop this.
Chapter 26
Cormac
Ilock the office door behind Scarlett with a sharp click. She turns at the sound, chest rising, eyes hooded with lust.
The same lust that’s been overflowing in me since I finally took what I wanted in that hotel with her.
“You wanted to see me?” she asks, all sweet and innocent.
Pretending. She is anything but sweet.
I get close to her. So close, her breath brushes my throat. “You know exactly why you’re here.”
Her lips part, but she doesn’t move away. Shenevermoves away.
“What did you expect me to do?” she whispers. “Pretend nothing happened in that hotel?”
“That fucking night…” The curse breaks out of me, raw and unhinged. “You have no idea what you did to me.”
Her lips curl. “Tell me.”
“You looked at me like I was the only man who had ever touched you.” My voice roughens. “The only one to sink into your wet cunt and make you explode.”
“And then you left.” She grinds her hips against my hard cock. “You left me wanting you so bad I couldn’t think straight for days. Come on, we both want this. It doesn’t mean anything.”
I halt for a second. Those words should be music to my ears, but I can’t say for certain that’s true.
Can I…marryher? Make Scarlett my convenient wife? Like Kieran and Lachlan did with their wives? Griffin, too?
“It will mean everything to me, and that’s why I’ll have to burn it from my memory after I’ve come downyour throat.”
“Just oral?” She grabs my hand and pushes it under her skirt. “You don’t want to feel this around your cock?”
When my fingers come in contact with her warm, moist folds, my legs nearly buckle. “You don’t get my cock in your pussy.”
I pull my fingers away from her drenched slit, the scent of her destroying me every second. I quickly push her back against the desk. Not enough to hurt her, but enough to make her gasp. Enough to remind her who’s in charge here.
My voice drops, low and dangerous. “You crossed a line today.”
She lifts her chin. “You liked it.”
God help me, I did. That’s the problem.
I wrap my hand around her throat. Not tight, just claiming enough to scare her. And oh God, the beat of her pulse is thundering against my palm like she’s ready to code.
“No, I didn’tlikeyou showing me your wet pussy,” I murmur, leaning in until my mouth brushes her ear. “I fucking loved it. That’s the problem. And now you’re gonna pay.”
“Yes, make me pay.”
My thigh thrusts between hers. My hands cage her in. “This is what you get for teasing your professor,” I say, mouth brushing the line of her jaw. “You like making me want to fuck you so bad, I practically came in my pants during class?”
