the sensation of his touch, and his head was
bowed toward hers with those eyes…
They were the
dominant eyes.
A shiver went
through her.
“Chance, I came
here because there’s something I need to ask you,” she choked out. When had
talking become so difficult?
He didn’t answer
at first. He was looking intently at her face, her neck, her breasts. She saw his already impressive chest expand with a deep breath and his
jaw harden.
“Good. There’s
something I wanted to say to you, too. How about a do-over on the roof deck?”
Without thinking,
Lena bit her lip.
A do-over? Of which part?
chapter 6
For the second
time in two days, Chance led the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen up to his
favorite place. Only this time, he was going to make damn sure she felt better
for it.
Richie
fucking Kerns, in his club. That she had to see him here, of all places. He’d been right on
the edge of losing it and Lena had brought him back. Again. Without
even knowing it.
Just by touching
him. By being nearby. By looking at him and seeing right through him, and
calling out what was best in him: his dominance.
He thought he
might have figured out how that worked. She drew him like a magnet, just
focused his attention, everything he had. There wasn’t anything left for idiots
like Richie Kerns, and instead he was filled with…
Whatever this was.
Holy fuck he
wanted her. He could smell her. It
was driving him insane.
But first he had
to explain why he’d turned her away. He had to do what he could to take that
hurt away, because he was damned if he was going to make things worse for her.
He’d figure it
out.
He just had to
remember to think with the right head.
And that got a
whole lot harder when Lena walked out onto the roof garden in that tight, white
dress with her honey skin, surrounded by thousands of golden lights, all of
them showing him exactly how beautiful she was.
“Oh my God,” she
said, spinning around. “This is incredible.”
“Yup,” he said. He
couldn’t take his eyes off of her. Fuck the roof garden.
“Are you sure this
is private?” she asked.
Chance felt his
cock jump awake at that. He forced himself to look away, and it almost hurt.
“Yeah, this is actually mine. Entrance to my suite is on the other end, around
the corner. This,” he said, pointing back the way they’d come, “is a common
entrance I had put in for convenience. No one will come up here without my
permission, but I can lock it if you want.”
“No, that’s ok.”
“ C’mere ,” he said, and led her over to a grassy area with
some plush couches. He thought she might want to sit down after walking around
in those heels, but instead she laughed, kicked them off, and headed right for
the grass.
“Oh, this is
amazing,” she said, walking all over the grass in her bare feet. “I can’t
remember the last time I got to do this.”
“You can come up
here anytime you want.”
She stopped
squishing her toes in the fresh grass and looked at him. There. Right there.
That just finished him. How did she do that? Look at him like she knew what he
was really thinking? Like she knew what her body was asking for?
“You’re sure
you’re not really a nice guy?”
“I thought you
didn’t want nice.”
“I don’t.”
He was losing his
focus already, just losing himself in that face. Her skin almost seemed to
glow, and her eyes were soft and pure sex. Her dress, God, her dress should be
illegal. Pure white, white enough to make him think he could see more, and
hugging every one of those amazing curves.
If he didn’t do it
now, he wasn’t going to last much longer.
“Lena, about
yesterday—”
“No, shut up,” she
said very quickly, walking up to where he stood. Chance was so startled by
being told to shut up that he actually did it for a second.
If she wasn’t
careful, she was going to earn a spanking anyway.
“What did I tell
you about your tone?” he said.
She stifled a
smile. “I’m
