Reckless (9 page)

Today was no different. He was talking to Ms. Houston but this time he seemed really pissed off about something, which in turn made her boss start yelling at her out of all the people working in the office. Then, she did something strange.

“I’m not explaining shit to that asshole anymore. Ms. Michaels, you take this report up to the top floor and don’t put it in anyone’s hands except either Mr. Spencer or Mr. Kline. Lomax could give less of a shit about this stuff.”

Her heart was racing as she accepted the heavy binder from Regina and headed for the elevators. She definitely didn’t want to see Andrew, so she’d head for Gavin Kline’s office. And that’s where she was headed as soon as the elevator stopped. She stepped off and gasped.

It was really plain on the top floor. Too much silver on the walls, one small couch off to the side, framed my Manhattan’s skyline, and a single receptionist desk with a name plate that read Tianna. Brianna stepped forward and the pretty blonde woman sitting at the desk looked up and smiled.

“Ms. Houston already announced your arrival, Ms. Michaels. Mr. Spencer is in a meeting, but Mr. Kline is waiting for you in his office. Just go through those doors and follow the hall.” Tianna said.

“Thank you.” She nodded and headed for the doors. Tianna buzzed her inside.

She walked along the long corridor, checking out the names on all of the doors. On one side were the names of the owners and on the other side, their personal assistants. She walked until she found Mr. Kline’s office. She knocked gently on the door and waited for him to open it. She heard laughter coming from one of the other offices before Mr. Kline opened the door.

Holy Batman was the man sexy as hell. It was like God decided that all young billionaires suddenly had a sexy quota to fill. He reminded her of the late actor, Paul Walker, with his curly blonde hair, baby blue eyes, sexy form, and full lips. She had to blink three times before her lips could form words.

“Ms. Houston asked me to give this to you.” She said.

He gave her a deadly serious glare before he took the binder from her. She was ready to turn and walk away until his words stopped her in her tracks.

“Come in, Ms. Michaels.” He commanded. His voice was like silk and it made something in her stomach skitter.

She stepped into his office and he shut the door behind her. The room was kind of on the dark side because the windows were tinted. He had a long, heavy wooden desk in front of the windows, a row of bookshelves on one of the walls, and a leather sofa with a painting of himself hanging above it on another wall. She was looking for a place to sit in front of his desk, but remembered the rumor she’d heard about how if you were in his office, he preferred you to stand so that he could assess you.

And that’s what he was doing to her. He didn’t even open the binder. He just put it on his desk and focused his attention on her.

“Tell me. Where are you from?” he asked.

“Colorado.” She told him.

“So you’re the Colorado girl. Impressive application.” He commented.

“Thank you, sir.” She responded. She watched him reach into his pocket and pull out a cigar and light it. He took two puffs before settling it between his fingers and staring at her.

“You’re a very attractive young woman. And there’s a lot of buzz about you and a few others going around the office.” He said. She swallowed hard, wondering if he was going to ask for sexual favors in order to keep her job. Would she even do it? She’d been Lucian’s whore for a week and the ending was unbearable.

“Thank you?” she didn’t know if it were a compliment or what.

“Young, attractive girls are usually just gold diggers, looking for a rich man to help them up, but you’re a hard worker and you’re trying to do this with your head down.” He said. “I like that. Most of the women get into this company and start throwing themselves at the executives right away, but not you. And I admire that. I have my eye on you, Ms. Michaels, and so does Lomax and Spencer. Keep it up.”

With that, he waved her out of his office. She couldn’t believe the grin that was on her face. He was hot as hell, and he’d complimented her on her hard work and not just her body, even though he’d admitted that she was attractive. She was actually blushing and smiling when Andrew’s door opened and Vanessa Gonzalez stepped out with a sensual grin. Andrew stood in the doorway, ending his conversation with her. She gave him a sexy smile and stepped away, almost running into her.

She stepped out of the way and started for the doors to the reception office, but her name stopped her.

“Brianna.” Andrew said, making her turn around. Vanessa turned around as well, and for the first time in three weeks, she gave her an appraising look before she wrinkled her pretty nose and walked away. “What are you doing up here?” he asked.

She blushed again and he tilted his head, staring at her.

“I came to see Mr. Kline.” She said. His eyes suddenly darkened and she wondered if she did something wrong.

“I see.” He said slowly.

“I was just deliv-“ she was cut off when he pulled her into his office. He slammed the door shut behind her and pushed her against it.

His lips were on hers before she could even catch her breath. His hands gripped her hips and his body pressed into hers, making her give out an involuntary moan. There was nothing in the world like a man taking control, and Andrew was kissing her like he owned her. Like he was marking her. But was he?

She managed to pull back and stare at him. Those dark blue eyes of his were filled with heat, that cologne of his was making her mouth water, and those lips were calling to her.

“Kiss me again.” She whispered.

He grinned and pressed his lips to hers, this time in a more slow and sensual kiss. His hands slid up from her waist to her ribs and up to cup her breasts. Her nipples were like pebbles and pushing through her bra when he glided his thumbs over them. He suddenly wrapped an arm around her, pulling her flush against his body.

“Don’t think I’ve forgotten about our bet.” He said before he suddenly dropped down to his knees.

Before she could say another word, her skirt was being pulled up to her waist. She could feel his breath on her thighs before he spread her legs. He lifted one of her legs over his shoulder and rubbed his finger over her clit, making her moan again.

“Just a minute, baby.” He breathed against her thigh as he pulled her panties to the side. “I just want to savor this. Remember this.”

She almost came right there. His fingers grazed her thighs and she could feel herself getting wetter and wetter with each breath. When he parted her folds, she whimpered.

“So, fucking responsive to me.” He whispered before his lips closed around her clit. Her knees buckled.

“Oh shit!” she breathed, trying to keep her balance.

His tongue dipped inside her and she almost screamed. He reached up and grabbed one of her breasts and gave it a gentle squeeze. She wanted more than anything to be naked. She wanted to feel his hands on her heated flesh.

“I’ve never tasted anything so sweet.” He murmured between gentle strokes of his tongue.

Then he bit her clit and she lost control.

Her screams no doubt filled the hallway, but they didn’t care. He started stroking faster with his tongue and she started thrusting her hips to keep up with his rhythm. Her hands were in his hair, gripping as hard as she could, trying to stay on balance. But her orgasm hit her fast and hard and she almost fell and hit her head. He caught her and lowered her to the floor, never missing a beat.

When she came down from her orgasm, her body was screaming to be filled. He kissed the inside of both of her thighs before he positioned himself between her legs and kissed her deeply.

“How do you feel?” he asked.

“Good.” She breathed.

He kissed her again. “I want to be inside of you so bad, baby. You just don’t understand.” He murmured against her lips.

“Believe me. I understand.” She told him.

To prove her point, she wrapped her legs around him and thrust her hips up to meet his. She immediately felt his rock hard cock straining against his trousers, and she wanted it something fierce.

“I have some work to do, and I’m sure you do too.” He said, placing a light kiss to her lips.

Shocked, she sat up and stared at him. He smiled at her and kissed her again before standing up and holding his hand out to her. She straightened her skirt, adjusted her shirt, and finger combed her hair.

Turning to walk through the door, she felt his body press against hers, sandwiching her between him and the door.

“You will come here during your lunch every day. It’s now your task to make sure I’m satisfied from eleven to one.” He said. When she opened her mouth to protest, he nibbled her ear. “I’ll tell Regina that I’m using you for something.”

He kissed her neck and stepped away from her. She licked her lips and nodded before scurrying out of his office. She closed her eyes and let out a breath of relief when she saw that the hallways were quiet with all the doors closed. She rushed down the hall and through the double doors to the reception office. She wasn’t sure, but she thought that she saw Tianna give her a look as she stepped into the elevators and the door shut, taking her to the safety of the real world.

Twenty

              Friday afternoon, Brianna found herself naked, underneath Andrew’s suit jacket on the sofa as he took an emergency conference call. She nibbled on the sandwich she’d brought him and watched him work. The man was a beast when it came to business. Apparently, he wasn’t just the owner of a media conglomerate, but he also owned a shipping company, a handful of restaurants, two hotels, several pieces of real estate, and he was trying to acquire part of an electronics company.

              He was sexy as hell when he worked and she wished more than anything that he would just log off of the conference call and finally be with her. All week long he’s had his face between her legs, his lips on her breasts, and even once allowed her to have her lips wrapped around his cock. Afterward, they’d eat lunch and talk about the company, her schooling, and which job she’d be interested in if he were to hire her after the summer. They hadn’t had sex yet, and it was starting to frustrate her.

              Andrew was still on the call when it was time for her to head back down to her department. She stood and slid into her bra and panties. She was reaching for her skirt when he suddenly came up behind her. The conference call was in full swing on his computer on his desk, so she wondered if he was just going to kiss her goodbye. That definitely wasn’t the case.

              He threw her down on the couch, unzipped his pants, and thrust himself inside of her so hard that she gasped.

              “You’re a screamer, but if you make one noise, I’m going to be pissed.” He whispered before taking her earlobe between his teeth and sucking. He thrust again and she had to bite down on her lip to keep from screaming.

              It was hard keeping herself under control. He was doing everything in his power to take her from silent whimpers and pleading to screaming. He was looking for a reason to punish her and it turned her on so much that she was tempted to scream out his name just to see what he would do about it. The only thing stopping her was the international conference call that was happening at his desk.

              His orgasm hit first and with the first burst of hotness that coated her insides, her body began to spasm as well. He lightly slapped her ass before rolling over to sit on the couch. He zipped up his pants and kissed her neck.

              “I’ll pick you up Saturday. We’ll do something.” He whispered and returned to his conference call. She nodded, shocked. He wanted to date her. She was starting to feel a little shameful about sneaking into his office all week, but to know that he wanted to get to know her better made her a little giddy.

              She spent the rest of the day in a great mood despite Regina yelling at her. After work, she headed home and took a quick shower and changed clothes. She was having dinner with Kelsey while Eleanor and Kevin went shopping for their movie night in after dinner. Andrew made her feel so good about herself that she took her time preparing for dinner. She chose a form fitting blue dress, straightened her hair and did loose curls, and carefully applied her makeup. She looked professional when she went to work, but now even she had to admit that she looked downright sexy.

              An hour later she was standing inside the restaurant, scanning the crowd. Kelsey told her that she was meeting someone for drinks and asked her to meet her at the bar. She headed that way and froze. Kelsey was talking to Andrew. Not only that, but he was whispering in her ear and she playfully swatted at him. She swallowed down her jealousy and approached them.

              “Brianna!” They both said at the same time. Kelsey was excited while Andrew was confused.

              Kelsey wrapped her up in a hug and gave her an extra squeeze. “I’m so happy you’re here! How are you feeling?” she asked.

              “Um, fine…” she frowned at her friend. “How are
you
feeling?”

              “Great. I couldn’t be happier right now.” Kelsey beamed.

              Alright then.

              “I wasn’t aware that you two knew each other.” Andrew said, wrapping an arm around her waist. He kissed the top of her head, surprising both Kelsey and herself.

              “Bree is my roommate back in Colorado.” Kelsey said, glaring between Brianna and Andrew. “We both go to the University.”

              “You should be in Princeton.” Andrew snorted.
