Semua Bab Sunstroke: Bab 11 - Bab 20

"Gorgeous. Still totally gorgeous.""I'm a lot older." She swallowed. "The body's not quite the same.""It's still beautiful to me." He stroked his palms down her hips and over her tummy. "It will always be beautiful to me, no matter how old you get."She swallowed and closed her eyes, not sure she wanted to see his reaction as he took in every inch of her skin, every dip and swell and curve. When he didn't move his hands again or say anything, she forced herself to open her eyes and look at him. The mixture of acute hunger, desire, and lust she saw burning there nearly did her in."Gorgeous," he repeated again then dropped to his knees. "A taste. I have to have a taste."He nudged her thighs apart, coasting his thumbs gently over her skin before pressing his mouth to her core, panties and all. He stroked the length of her with his hot tongue, pressing the flimsy fabric into her heated, wet flesh. She balanced herself with her hands on his shoulders, fingers digging into muscles h

"I can't wait another minute to get you naked."And that was the damn truth. He heard the roughness in his voice that came from his seemingly unquenchable need for her. "Sorry if that makes me a horny old man, but, Bailey? We have a lot of time to make up for. Last night just teased my appetite.""Yes." Her voice was soft and breathless, the way it always was when she was aroused. "Yes, we do.""We can have a conversation later.""Sometimes conversation is highly overrated."It registered on some level of consciousness that the covers were already drawn back on the bed and the pillows fluffed. But Bailey wet her lips, making them glisten so temptingly he forgot about everything else. Was she trying to avoid answering questions, even though she'd agreed they should talk? At this particular moment, he didn't care. Just looking at her made his cock swell so much he was afraid his zipper would break. He reached behind her head to undo the clasp holding her hair and let the stands casc

Bailey had been nervous as a tick all day. Last night had been so incredible she wanted to freeze it in time. She had told Zack he was invited to the dinner, halfway hoping he'd decline. Of course, when she told him about the senior partnership, he told her no way in hell would he not be there. Then she wondered if she should have said anything. But she'd been bubbling over about it and needed someone to share it with. Michael was out of town, and here was Zack, back in her life after all these years, even if only for a short time.She'd kept it together during the morning sessions and lunch. She knew Zack would come looking for her, since she'd blurted out that the afternoon was free time, but she wasn't ready for more alone time with him. Not yet. So she treated herself to the spa again, getting her hair done and a mani-pedi. She'd told him she had things to do, making sure everything was set up for cocktails and dinner, and so he should meet her in the small banquet room at seven.

"You didn't come to the restaurant for breakfast, you didn't order room service, and no one has seen you since last night."Bailey looked at Lacey standing in her doorway. The last thing she needed was someone watching her life fall apart."And you look like hell," Lacey continued and nudged Bailey aside so she could enter. "At least let me fix you something from the single server in the kitchen. Or maybe I should just give it to you intravenously."Bailey didn't want to offend her friend, but she wasn't in the mood to see Lacey or anyone else. Except maybe the two people who didn't want to see her. Lacey led her out to the patio and pointed to a chair at the umbrella table."Sit. And don't move."Bailey sat, mostly because she didn't have the whatever to argue. When Lacey handed her a full mug, she took it with shaking hands and gingerly sipped at the hot liquid.Lacey sat in the chair across from her and studied her."Warren Blake was asking for you this morning. Wanted to kno

Bailey turned over in bed, pressing herself against Zack's muscular body. She wondered if she'd ever get used to the joy of being with him. Of waking up with him every day and going to sleep with him every night."I don't think I'm ready to get up yet," Zack murmured, stroking her back with gentle fingers. "But I suppose we can't stay in bed forever.""Who says?" Bailey teased."How about the man who wants your body twenty-four seven?""Oh." She giggled. "Then I'll have to think about it."He continued to caress her body, following the line of her back and the curved shape of her bottom."Don't think too long. I think we have company in bed with us." He jerked his hips slightly, enough so she could feel the hard length of his cock, swollen and pressing into her belly."Well, well." She swallowed a smile. "Eager little thing, isn't he.""Hey!" He adopted an offended tone. "Don't use the word little when you talk about him.""I'll give you that the word doesn't apply where he's
