You Never Knew

Chapter 4

I turn and stretch against the glass on the nightstand. Just before I can reach it, I feel a firm hand grasping my ass - hard!

I glance over my shoulder, his eyes dark and feverish. "You really shouldn't play with fire."

"Who said anything about fire?" I whisk out an ice-cube from the glass, feeling smug about finally having the upper hand. I turn back towards him, his hungry gaze flowing over my naked body.

I lick my lips and slowly straddle him, feeling the ice-cube wetting my fingers. He tries so hard to hide how intrigued he is, but his shallow breathing betray him.

"Hope you don't mind that I get your sheets wet."

"I think you already did." He smirks proudly at his own remark.

I lean closer to him, whispering in his ear. "Bad timing."

He gasps loudly as I press the ice down in the middle of his chest, the cube almost making a sizzling sound as it makes contact with his hot skin.

I can feel his abs tense underneath me, as he reactively moves of the shock and grab my waist.

I put on a stern face as I lift the ice from him. "No touching."

He sits up at bit more, gritting his teeth and a sound escapes his throat that can only be described as a growl.

"Your rule – not mine!" I'm lost in his glowing dark eyes, as he studies my face, my lips. For a moment it seems that he will give in and finally kiss me, but he turns away.

Then he meets my eyes as he obediently lower himself down flat on his back, and places his hands above his head.

"So is it only your own rules you follow?"

He is about to make a comeback when I once again press the ice down on his body, this time on this alluring abs. They tense under my cold touch, his teeth clench.

I'm mesmerised by the wet shimmer the ice leaves on this skin, the shallow creeks forming between his abs. His skin is sun kissed and warm, making the ice melt faster than I had anticipated.

I save the last corner off it, carefully placing it in my mouth, letting my tongue roll over it, as I lower my body down onto his. I can feel him inhale sharply as my hard nipples press against him.

A cold breath tickles his neck before I let my tongue playfully kiss his earlobe. He twists underneath me as I slowly place cold kisses down his neck and chest.

When I bite down on his nipple, he squirms even more and I can sense the amount of self-control he applies not to throw himself at me.

"And you accused me of not playing fair?!"

"Don't blame me for something you started."

"I'd like to recall that..." His voice dies out as I run my nails across his chest, licking circles around the wet areas of his abs.

As I start to unbutton his pants and tug on his boxers, he closes his eyes and swallow hard. "Stand up."

He gives me a strained look, then moves towards the side of the bed, pressing his feet to the floor.

A tense smile plays over his gorgeous lips as he holds back another growling sound as I finally release him from his last pieces of clothing.

I cannot help but gasp as I take in the whole sight of him, my body instinctively reacting to his.

His voice is hoarse as he says, "See anything you like?"

Not sure if I can get my voice steady enough for a sassy response, I figure attack is best defence.

He cannot stop a moan escaping as my tongue meets his impressive hardness and his hand tangles in my hair.

I pull back and look up at him. "No touching, remember?"

He grunts in response as he removes his hand and I lower my mouth back onto him. "Argh... you really are... trouble..."

I lick the tip and tickle the skin on his thigh with my nails. He shifts before me, trying to find his balance.

My body is aching for him, every fibre wanting him. I slip my hand in between my thighs as I continue to caressing him with my mouth.

He notices, notice me touching myself and I can feel the raw desire conquering him.

He pushes me down hard onto the bed, his eyes wild with passion. He places my hand back onto me, as he slowly starts stroking his own firmness.

"Show me... I need..." His voice is so strained, yet so commanding. I arch my back as I start caressing myself again. He grunts, pushing my knees apart for a better view.

I bite my lip and feel my whole being react to the sight of his entirely marvellous body. His left thumb circles my thigh, pressing hard against my skin as his breathing picks up speed together with mine.

Strained with lust he leans forward and press a kiss on my inner thigh. A loud moan escapes my lips, as the pleasure of him biting the sensitive skin that his lips tasted moments before. The sound of my pleasure makes him lose all control.

With a hoarse roar he releases onto the sheets. Knowing I was the source of it is what drives me over the edge once more this night.

My brain is still foggy when I feel him collapsing next to me. His breath is shallow and his body warm.

We lay there for a long time, side by side, staring at the ceiling. Eventually steading each other's breath to a calmer pace. I'm not sure what to say, what I can say. So I simply lay very still, next to a man that is building up to be the most mesmerising man I have ever met.

"My life is complicated. We cannot..."

"I know." He smiles and tangles his fingers with mine. "It really is a waste of chemistry though."

"No one has ever made me climax like that. Ever."

"Your touch is magical. You are magical." As he say those words, I curl up next to him, resting my head on his chest. He wraps an arm around me, pulling me closer.

"Still regret meeting me?", I ask with a smile as I hear his steady heartbeats and his smooth laugh eco in his chest.

"Yes. Absolutely yes." If I could see his eyes I'm sure he would wink. "Troublemaker."

I laugh quietly as he pulls a quilt over us and we peacefully drift off to sleep.

It's just before dawn when I detangle myself from his warm body and sneak out of bed. I get dressed, trying not to wake him as I gather my things.

I take one last look back at the ridiculously gorgeous man, quilt tangled around his leg and the rest of this body accentuated by the dim light.

If only we had met at another time...

I turn on my heel, head out the door and start strolling down the streets in the early morning light. I cannot help but smile. What a perfect way to start the most important day of my life.

All my life I had dreamed of working for the Clarke Cooperation – a business giant with the notorious Jessica Clarke currently holding the reins. Today was my very first day.

Look out Clarke corp – here I come!

A/N:
Yes, such a waste of chemistry. Too bad they will never meet again...

And good luck to Kiara on starting her dream job. What challenges do you think she will encounter next?
