There was merriment in those eyes, and warmth and friendliness. Not jaded awareness, not arrogance. Just…niceness. And pure laid-back sex appeal.
“Work?” he asked, sounding as though he’d never heard the word.
Well, maybe he hadn’t. Kelly lifted her chin, ignoring those eyes, that half smile on his sensual mouth, and forced herself to act unaffected by this brown-eyed, kind-looking hottie.
“Yes. Work,” she snapped. “I came here to help my friend. I’ve done it, and now I’m leaving.”
He put a hand out, touching her elbow lightly, though not trying to restrain her. But all the same, the touch was binding, rooting her where she stood.
“Look, I have the feeling we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot.... somehow. I don't know how. But I’d really like for us to go sit down somewhere, and just talk. Maybe get to know you a little more.”
He shook his head, smiled slightly and rubbed a hand across his strong jaw, the slide of his fingers rasping the tiniest bit across his very faint five-o’clock shadow.
“You saved me from having a terrible, boring time tonight.” he added.
“As if that's even remotely true.” Kelly replied.
“You never know.” he said, as he shrugged his shoulder.
“Well, if you weren't enjoying the shows, then why are you here?” she asked, only out of curiosity. Not out of genuine interest. Definitely not, she told herself.
Shrugging again, he admitted, “Because my friends made me. It's his birthday so we have to do what he wants... However crazy it is"
Kelly almost smiled.
"But then if I had known that I was going to meet you, I wouldn't have protested us coming here so much" he added. "Honestly, if they find out that the reason why I left my seat was to go find a certain redhead, and not go to rest room like I told them, they are gonna tease the fuck out of me months"
She couldn’t prevent a trill of amused laughter from escaping her lips at the very thought of this man getting out of here to find her. But she stopped herself immediately, what did she expect him to do? She had given the man the green light when she had openly flirted with him on stage. He was reacting the way any red blooded man would... He'd come to take what she'd offered him.
What exactly was she offering anyways? Kelly wasn't a virgin, but she wasn't the crazy kind either. She had never had a one night stand, and the idea had never appealed to her.
Except tonight.
What was it about this man that made every moral and principle fly right out of her head. He hadn't even made a move on her yet, but just as the idea of flirting with him on stage had seemed appealing to her, so did the idea of spending the night with him began to form in her head...and she welcomed it. Would it really be such a bad thing? She liked his company and she had to admit she was enjoying talking to him now. Enjoying that she had his attention, even for a short time. Would it be such a bad thing if she had one night stand with him? One night of steamy, wild, mind blowing sex.... She didn't even have to see him again after tonight.
Dimitri watched her laugh, those soft, dreamy eyes resting on her lips, his own curling up at the edges in response.
“Your eyes” he said, his voice low.
She looked at feet, feeling very shy suddenly.
“They’re beautiful.” he added.
Kelly quivered at that. Though she knew the man was probably an expert at such come-ons, and he probably made a practice of making every woman he wanted feel beautiful and desirable, she couldn’t help the warm flow of pleasure surging through her veins.
Because he made her believe it.
His lips quirked. “You really are stunning,” he murmured, not handing her a line, not at all sleazy. Just confident of what he said. “You stood out... Like a dark and vibrant flame next to all those dancers.”
Kelly swallowed. He was using his lines, she thought, telling her what he thought she wanted to hear. Because she was far from being a 'vibrant flame,' whatever he meant by that. Did he really see her that way?
“You looked entirely alive on that stage…the only person who did.”
Okay, the man was good at getting around a woman’s defenses with that sexy-smooth delivery. Too good. Especially since she knew there was no way she could have him. She had to leave before she gave in to another crazy thing tonight, and the shots she had taken with the girls backstage was making it harder for her to think clearly. Just the thought what could happen between them if she stayed made her legs feel weak.
“Thanks, I'm glad you liked my performance, but I really have to go.” she said.
“Oh, come on,” he urged, “Please don’t leave. You’ve got to at least let me buy you a drink for.... I don't know.... I just... Want to spend some time with you I guess”
Her eyebrows lifted.
“And maybe I want to get away from my friends too....” he added. His tone said he didn’t care, but she could see there was a genuine fondness between him and friends.
Well, Kelly understood that. She understood the concept of loving someone even if you didn’t completely understand or agree with them. It was the kind of relationship she had with her father.
She couldn't help chuckling again, unable to keep a smile off her face. The movement brought his attention to her breasts and he glanced down at her chest.
His gaze lingered before it rose to her face, but not so quickly that she didn’t see the way his jaw flexed and his eyes narrowed, shining with dark intensity and appreciation, all traces of that easygoing good humor disappearing.
He smelled delicious, of warm, male flesh, though she tried her best not to notice. But his body was too fine to ignore for long, despite her resolve not to give in to unladylike tendencies--such as overwhelming lust.
She licked her dry lips, then met his eyes. His gaze lingered on her mouth, then slowly coasted over the rest of her body.
She cleared her throat. Stiffening her spine, which already felt close to snapping. He didn't say anything, but she got the message all right. And for the second time that night, she made another wild decision. All rules be damned.
She stared right back at him. The roam of his stare over her body affected her just as thoroughly as a real touch from anyone else would have. She should insist and go home, but right now, at this moment, she couldn’t bring herself to care about anything. And it was all because of the heat in this sexy man’s eyes and the almost audible quality of his next, slowly indrawn breath. That was lust she saw there. Pure and undisguised, unhidden by social demands or proper breeding that insisted it wasn’t polite to visibly covet a woman. He was coveting. She was being coveted. They were both caught in the tension of it. Though her mind knew better, her body couldn’t help responding. Beneath the silky top, her skin puckered, tiny goose bumps rising on the deep V of her cleavage, her nipples tightening to jut against the lace of her bra. Her pulse fluttered in her throat, and the breaths she managed to inhale were shallow. Each was filled with the wa
She nodded. "Yeah. So why don't we just skip the whole drink thing and go straight to whatever has been building up between us since I was on that stage?" she asked. "We are both adults. We know what we want. So why beat around the bush?" Kelly had no idea where this bold, slutty part of her was coming from. Probably the alcohol. Or maybe it was the man.... Definitely something about him that made her go wild. But she'd gone too far to back away now. "No attachments. No commitments" she added, dragging a finger slowly across his chest. "Just two adults.... Taking what they want... An adventure if you will" Dimitri eyes followed her hands and a tiny groan escaped his lips when she moved against him again. The idea of heaving aside all responsibility for a little while, of grabbing on to a good thing and enjoying the hell out of it just because he could, was incredibly appealing. She felt so good cr
He had found the skin beneath her top now, and worked his way up to her left breast. With the thumb and fore finger, he very gently squeezed her nipple. There both felt the spasm that shuddered through her body. He smiled at her. "You are very wicked" Kelly said. Arms locked around his neck. Jelly legs, her heart a drum gone berserk, then she added, "I like wicked" "Good" he flattened his palm into the waist band of her jeans and down over her stomach. A tight squeeze, but easier once he had unfastened the top button and easier still with the zipper down. "Dimitri, what if someone sees us?" she asked, yet hoping that he wouldn't stop. "It's dark and quieter than a tomb" came his reply. "I guess..." Kelly said. Her brain wasn't thrilled with the metaphor, but her body was indisputably in charge and doing all it could do to help his fingers slide under the crotch of her panties and up inside her and..... "Oh my God" she moaned. She dug her chin harder into his shoulder, felt his s
Her chest heaving, she placed her head in his shoulder, being sure to press herself against every inch of him, and smirked when he growled. His eyes darkened and then her hands fumbled for his shirt.Her fingers fiddled with the buttons of his shirt, and slowly, she pulled it off his body. His hands twitched at his sides when her gaze roved over his chest, tensed in the small light pouring into her car. Gently, her fingers moved across that skin, marveling at the dark sprinkling of hair trailing down to his trousers.Dimitri's hands twitched again, and he grabbed her waist suddenly, and tossed her lightly onto the chair. "All I want right now is to hear you scream my name as I take you.” he muttered darkly, his lips twitching in a smirk.He yanked her jeans off, and Kelly propped up on her elbows to watch as he moved back in the seat and removed his trousers. When all of him was revealed, she licked her
Dimitri's movements mirrored hers, and together, they set a fast pace, growing more frantic with each passing moment. The head of his cock pushed against her G-spot, sending her higher with every thrust. He groaned against her neck and lowered his mouth to her breasts, pulling hard on one nipple followed quickly by the other. Her insides twisted until her body faltered, and suddenly, Dimitri pulled back and Kelly found herself on her back on the chair again, but this time with him covering her with his massive build.She felt his weight pressing her down onto the chair, his movements increasingly urgent as he repositioned her and parted her legs with his hand. The rough hairs on his thighs brushed against her skin and then she briefly felt the sensation of his smooth erection brushing against her before he lifted her hips and entered her with a purposeful thrust.She parted her lips in a gasp but his mouth silenced her and he kissed he
She read the same glaze of abandonment to passion in his eyes. Could hear his control hanging by a thread in the way his breath caught and his tense hand pressed into her tailbone. They undulated in this state of bliss together, each brought here by the other.The quivering shock waves of climax gathered with a final, irresistible twist, releasing in a flourish of pleasurable contractions that turned her vision to white light.She would have mourned her loss of control if she hadn’t felt his arms tighten around her, drawing her deep onto him as he pulsed heat within her. His ragged sounds of anguished joy came to her from a distance as the storm of convulsive ecstasy held them in its grip.Her hips faltered and she moaned his name. Dimitri gripped her hips and held her steady, driving into her hard as they cried out together, their bodies shaking in each other’s arms as pleasure surrounded them. H
He would call them when he got home, he thought. David wouldn't be able to punch him if he was in the safety of his home. He flagged down a cab and got in. He would take a long shower when got home, and then try to forget all about.....It was then he realized.... That he didn't even know this redhead's name.He hadn't asked.-------------------Dimitri drummed his finger tips noiselessly on the conference table as he watched Raymond Darcy list out the strategies Darcy Enterprises intended to implement to to increase the company's revenue.He had a look on his face that said he was tired of listening to this crap, but deep down, he knew that a part of him admired Raymond Darcy. The man had built his company Thirty years ago, but now the company was in debt and could go bankrupt, and Raymond Darcy wasn't having any of that.Of course Di
And now she was here. He had regretted not asking for her number. He had regretted not trying at least to ask her on a date.... Maybe see if they could make their one night stand adventure a little longer, and now it was like he had been given another chance with her. He wouldn't screw it up, he decided. And he had a feeling that this was going to fun.He waited for her to see him.Would she even remember him? He suddenly wondered, Or was this something she usually did? Sleep with a random guy she had no plans to see again?Raymond Darcy was speaking again, and Dimitri forced himself to concentrate."..... I would like to introduce you all to my daughter, Kelly Darcy. Who will be joining us from today. She's an amazing human with a wonderful personality and I know you are all going to enjoy working with her"Dimitri smiled at that last comment. Oh, he planned to enjoy
