I force myself not to shoot a pleading look Jameson’s way. This is now his game. Like Lisa, Amber and Alex, I’m a mere pawn, completely at his disposal, to do as he wishes as he moves us around his chessboard. Or, more accurately, what I surmise will be an imaginary Twister board.
While we’d left my coat on the floor in the anteroom, I’m still wearing the lingerie. I don’t make an attempt to divest myself of anything, just follow the direction given and settle myself on the luxe comforter that feels like heaven beneath me. I concentrate on this, rather than the fact that Lisa reaches for my right arm and lifts it upward and toward a post, where she collects a blue-satin-padded cuff and secures my wrist.
Pretty Blonde Amber swoops in on my left and repeats the process. Of course, I’m inclined to pull on the thin chains, to test them.
Yeah, they’re the real deal. I’m not freeing myself.
Which begs the question: “Shouldn’t I have a safe word?”
Jameson’s brow crooks, quizzically. “What do you know about safe words, Nikki?”
So… I’m not fully selling him on the kinky persona. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing, or a bad thing.
Then I remind myself it no longer matters. I’ve signed on the proverbial dotted line for whatever he has planned.
“I’ve seen movies,” I simply state.
“But you’ve never—”
“No.”
He gives a slight nod of acknowledgement, and says, “Choose one.”
For some insane reason, my brain blips out, my mind immediately going blank.
What the everlasting fuck?
Jameson allows me a second more, then he chuckles under his breath—as though this isn’t nearly as compromising as it fucking is—and tells me, “Just say ‘stop,’ Nikki. If you’re not enjoying yourself… Just say stop.”
If I’m not enjoying myself?
Oh, dear God…
I’m already wet and burning up. And, honestly… I’m in desperate need of taking the edge off. I can’t even press my thighs together to stave off the throbbing in my core because Alex is suddenly between my legs as he kneels on the bench at the foot of the bed. He slips off one of my shoes, then the other. He rolls my stockings down. Slowly. Tantalizingly slow, capturing Jameson’s attention.
He coils his fingers in the thin sides of my thong and drags the skimpy material along my legs. He rubs the crotch with his finger and thumb. He grins, slyly.
“Bring that to me,” Jameson demands.
Alex does his bidding. Jameson raises the lace to his nose—and inhales. Deeply.
I am so close to losing it. And no one is even really touching me!
The anticipation and insinuation are arousing me more with every passing second.
I can barely wheeze in a sliver of air.
My heart is pounding erratically, but the vibrations aren’t nearly as wicked as the pulsating in my pussy.
Alex clicks the cuffs into place at my ankles, so that I’m spread-eagle on the mattress.
Lisa climbs gracefully onto the bed and unclasps my bra, in the front, pulling apart the demi-cups.
“Nice,” she whispers as she eyes the rounded mounds and my puckered nipples. She licks her plumped up lips and then dips her head to my chest.
Her tongue darts out and the tip flutters over my taut peak, tightening it further.
Liquid fire roars through my veins and I involuntarily tug on the chains again.
I doubt this bondage act is for my benefit, per se—I believe it’s to sate Jameson’s voyeuristic fetish.
But, oh, Lord. It does offer an element of the forbidden, and that is damn sexy.
So, too, is the fact that I’m obviously the centerpiece in this enticing feast.
Lisa palms my breasts and kneads them with a bit of pressure. She pushes them together and suckles one nipple, then the other.
A sharp moan falls from my lips.
“You like that.” Her warm breath teases the ultra-sensitive point before she toys with it again, with her tongue. Meanwhile, she pinches the other nipple, roughly. Jolting me.
Amber moves in and Lisa lifts her head to accept a flirty, tongue-tangling kiss. Lisa continues to massage my breasts as she and Amber tease each other.
Then Lisa murmurs, “Feel them. They’re real.”
One of Amber’s hands replaces one of Lisa’s and she more firmly kneads my flesh.
“And look at how hard her nipples get,” Lisa softly adds. “Jesus, they’re so fucking hard.”
She tweaks one once more, rolling it more sharply so that I suck in a breath and my pelvis shoots upward.
Over her shoulder, Lisa tells Alex, “These are breasts you want to fuck.” Then she returns her gaze to me and coyly says, “I definitely want to fuck them.”
She shifts on the bed, straddling my torso so that she can rub her slick folds over my stomach, then higher as she inches her way along my ribcage, her palms flattening on a pillow on either side of my head.
When she reaches my chest, she plants her knee under my armpit, in the space created by my raised arm. She’s able to put the majority of her weight on her knee and she contorts her upper body slightly so that she can maneuver herself and lean into Amber, alongside us, for support. This allows Lisa to balance just so as she sort of semi-straddles my breast, coating my skin with her juices. She rocks her hips faintly, caressing my nipple with her clit.
“That’s hot,” Amber whispers in a throaty voice. And kisses Lisa more ardently as she pleasures herself.
Her folds are dewy and there is no friction between us, just a warm creaminess that is erotically stirring.
Amber grabs Lisa’s ass cheek and squeezes, effectively increasing the intensity of Lisa gyrating against my chest. I can feel Amber ease two fingers into Lisa’s pussy and she pumps quickly, determinedly.
Lisa breaks the kiss and cries out, restlessly, totally on the verge.
She rocks faster. I yank on the chains. I want to grasp her hips and hold her steady as she fucks my chest. This is nothing I’ve imagined before, but it’s fantastically sinful to have her riding me like this, mindful not to squish the air out of me and yet, using my body to push her toward climax.
“Right there,” Lisa murmurs on a fractured breath as Amber finds that precious spot inside her and doesn’t let up. “Oh, fuck, yes,” Lisa whimpers, getting off to my nipple stroking her clit and Amber pumping more heartily. “Like that. Oh, goddamn, just like that…”
Her body tenses—as does mine.
“That’s it,” Amber encourages. “Come all over her tits.”
“Yes… Oh, God, yes! I’m going to come—oh, God!” Lisa cries out again as electric currents radiate from her.
I feel her hot moisture smearing my skin as she quakes.
That’s all it takes to send me over, too, so that my release erupts deep within me—with nothing more than this to spur me on.
“Oh, God!” I call out.
We’re both frozen in the moment, in several suspended moments, our harsh pants filling the quiet room.
Eventually, Lisa unravels from Amber, and from me, and slips away. While I’m still trembling, Amber goes down on all fours to get closer to me and glides her tongue along the outer swell of my breast. She makes a sensuous purring sound, then diligently swipes at the cream covering my nipple. She suckles for added effect, and oh, Christ… The ripples continue throughout me.
Lisa places a hand at the back of Amber’s head, pinioning her where she’s at as she insists, “Good kitty. Lick all my cum off her.”
Amber obeys.
My pulse jumps.
I crane my neck and spare a glance at Jameson. His gaze locks with mine, instantly. Blazing brightly. Telling me without him having to say a word that this is not over…
~Nikki~I gasp.What the hell?I glare at Jameson. He stares back. Quite nonchalantly. And yet… pointedly.I shove my chair back as my brain practically explodes.“I’m sorry—what the fuck did you just say?”He shrugs and lets out a breath. “I mean, you took a solid stance, Nikki. Presented an intelligent and reasonable argument for us to be together. One I really have difficulty refuting.”“Difficulty refuting?!” I’m in an absolute uproar. Because this conversation is pure bonkers.I sink into my beautifully upholstered chair and sip my latte. Try to breathe.Jameson shoots me a contrite look and says, “Try the cornetto. It’s like a croissant.”He pushes a small, silver-domed plate toward me. “Promise you’ll like it.”I need the distraction from the crazy situation we’ve found ourselves in and I yank off the dome—only to stare at something that is decidedly not a cornetto.Rather…It’s a small box with Cartier stamped on it.My eyes bulge.Jameson chuckles. “Don’t act so surprised.”
It’s a disconcerting thought, I’m not gonna lie. I must tamp down my feelings and any sort of wild-haired ideas developing around the periphery of finding a happily ever after with Jameson Richards.Of course, I’ll experience a form of the HEA—via financial independence and a big, bright future that I will have control over sculpting.I just won’t land Prince Charming. That is a true statement, an indisputable fact that I absolutely have to accept.In addition, I have to acknowledge that there is satisfaction in providing him with something he wants, regardless of how it steals away from me a core HEA element. I can give him a child. That is my superpower.Okay, it’s not my only one. (And it actually hasn’t been proven yet, right?)My other strengths are that I’m growing professionally by leaps and bounds, on a daily basis. Having this closely knit relationship with Jameson, being mentored by him and observing him in every business aspect has offered me invaluable insight. To the p
~ Nikki ~ I love that Jameson wears one of his new ties around his neck as he struts into the bedroom (otherwise, completely naked).I laugh softly.While every fiber of my being ignites.“Had a feeling those were designed specifically for you,” I casually comment before sipping from a crystal-cut tumbler that contains a high-end Disaronno that is rife with an almond flavoring and a warm-and-fuzzy tinge that permeates my insides.He chuckles and says, “You’re not supposed to be the gift-giver.”I’m propped against a mound of pillows, so I’m sitting upright. I’m sans apparel, too, since I stripped off the nightgown while he was in the shower. Might as well cut right to the chase.I lift my chin and counter with, “Says who, exactly?”“Uhh… Me.” He stretches out on the bed and shoots a mischievous look my way.“Hmm,” I merely murmur. And take another sip.My drinking days are numbered, once I sign our contract, so I’m enjoying the last vestiges of this mellow nightcap.Admittedly, thoug
~Jameson~I’m trapped in yet another quandary related to Nikki St. Claire. She is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the perfect woman to accompany me to any business meeting and every gala. She softens my sharp edges when I’m engaged in more personal conversations, and brilliantly substantiates all of my points during professional discussions. She’s elegant, refined and savvy.Also… breathtakingly beautiful.Of course, I’m not the only one to recognize these qualities. She captivates everyone she interacts with.A pro and a con at the exact same time because, while I’m extremely proud of her, I am conversely agitated that she garners so much attention and has other executives cracking jokes about stealing her away from me that aren’t actually jokes. I’m not a fucking idiot. I know a prime commodity when I see one, and Nikki is the real deal. A significant asset is so many ways.It makes me damn glad that I insisted she accompany me on this trip. Not that I condone or are happy with the
~ Nikki ~I think of the movie Pretty Woman and immediately ask, “This is a loaner, right?”He gives me a mock-glare in the reflection of the mirror that is so sexily sardonic, I melt a little.And press my lips together.My heart rate is abnormal every moment I’m with this man, but presently… it’s ridiculously erratic.“Jameson—”“It’s not a bribe, Nik,” he’s quick to interject. “Not meant for any other reason than that I want you to have it. This necklace caught my eye, I thought of you… and… I knew you’d sparkle just a little brighter wearing it.”My lids flutter closed for a moment. Then snap open, my gaze connecting with his once more.“A little brighter? For the love of God…” I’m breathy and flabbergasted and having trouble thinking straight. But somehow manage to continue. “These diamonds put a crystal-clear, nighttime sky in the mountains to shame. Stars don’t shine this bright, Jameson.”“I got your analogy the first time,” he says with a chuckle and a wink—both of which near
~ Nikki ~Jameson places a black leather portfolio on the mahogany table, next to my linen breakfast setting. Then he rounds the table and takes a plush chair across from me.“What’s this?” I ask, in between sips of cappuccino.“CVs and professional accolades of a dozen of the best attorneys in New York City, none of whom are on my payroll; though I will foot the bill for you to meet with the one you choose and carefully review the contract, line by line, so that you are well-educated as to the arrangement we’re potentially entering into.”My brow quirks. “Potentially?” I set aside my delicate cup and eye him, curiously.“You’ve verbally consented, but you haven’t signed anything. You may elect not to sign. That is up to you, Nikki. I won’t attempt to sway you either way. You have all the power in this scenario and, at the end of the day, whatever options you do or don’t pursue are entirely up to you. With one caveat.”Now, I smirk. “Of course. What is it?”“The child will be mine. He
~ Nikki ~I’d question anybody else’s ability to divert our attention when I’ve dropped a colossal bombshell, such as agreeing to carry someone’s baby, but this is Jameson Richards I’m dealing with.I’m well aware he’s going to take a deep dive into this surrogacy concept I’ve just agreed to, yet he isn’t derailing our private moments in lieu of immediately jumping into his personal agenda. I know he’s more than capable of abandoning an intimate rendezvous to pursue a business transaction; however, as he engages me in the type of tongueless kisses that are meant to languidly reignite our passion without jarring us from the seriousness of what I’ve just shared with him and which eases us back into that seductive lane, I’m convinced he’s not inclined to desert a coveted interlude with me.“You’re smiling,” he muses as his mouth glides over mine.“Just thinking our roller coaster is of the corkscrew variety. Plenty of twists and turns.”“And a few cliffhangers.”“Everyday with you is une
~ Jameson ~I’m taken aback.This shouldn’t be the moment we hit upon a life-altering decision regarding this specific subject. It’s always percolating in the back in my brain, clearly. Constantly. However, I’m not expecting it to be on hers. At least… not right now.Hell, even I’m a little fuzzy in the head as my cock is throbbing and I’m gazing at her, naked and snuggled close. She’s just come with a ferocity that rocks me to the core, and now she’s staring at me with absolute amazement in her eyes over the orgasm—and her current epiphany. As a result, I’m also completely mind blown.I crook a brow, prompting her to continue.After all, one does not simply announce they’ll have your baby and then move onto another topic, like you’re merely discussing the weather. Even if it’s to pivot so that we’re back on track with the sexy times. Much as my body is strained to the point of snapping, what’s more important is what she’s deliberating over.Given that she doesn’t appear to have the w
~ Jameson ~I free her from her restraints. Rub her wrists. Then I remove her blindfold.She bats her lashes at me. She smiles, beguilingly, looking quite satisfied and dreamy. Her eyelids are only at half-mast, the partial irises shimmering.Her chest is rising and falling a bit quicker than normal, but not erratically. Her skin has a light rosy tint to it and the hint of goosebumps.I see a shiver run through her and she sighs contentedly.“That was…” Her lids flutter closed. She laughs softly. Then they open and she says just one word: “Fantastic.”I chuckle. “I do aim to please.”“Oh, God…” Now, her eyes all but roll into the back of her head. “Do you ever.”I like how she doesn’t temper her responses when she’s this entranced, this euphoric.I peel back the covers on my side and maneuver her under them. Then I crawl in next to her and she immediately snuggles close to me, her body curling into mine. Her flesh is warm and her curves are enticing.She twines her arms around my neck
