Before giving myself time to think about it—knowing a lot of thinking will come later—I grab my shorts and wriggle out of them. A shudder moves through him as he walks to the edge of the bed, looking like he’s ready to collapse with lust.
“Oh, fuck,” he whispers, staring at my pussy. “You’re so wet. You’re glistening for me.”
He climbs onto the bed, leans over, stares into my eyes, and then pauses. It’s like he wakes up. For a crazy second, I wonder if he is sleepwalking.
“What are we doing?” I whisper, tears almost springing to my eyes, my voice getting choked up.
“I know,” he says, with the same desperation.
He reaches down and brings the massive, hard tip of his dick to my entrance, pushing against it. My walls spread slightly, a kiss of burning pleasure, but then he pulls away.
“Tell me to fuck you,” he growls. “Beg me to claim your tight virgin hole. Tell me, Maci.”
“I want you to so badly.”
He strokes around my entrance, then pushes in just a little. I thought there would be some discomfort. I thought my body, not used to it, would struggle, but I knew if he kept pushing, I’d take him like he said—every inch.
“Then tell me,” he groans.
Something deep inside screams at me to do it and stop delaying, shouting at me that this is the man of my dreams. I need to give my body to him. “But I can’t,” I whisper.
He pulls away with a savage, trembling sigh. Jumping to his feet, his cock bounces, so big, glistening with precome. He turns to the bed, then actually covers his face, like looking at me is going to turn him savage. Maybe it would be better that way. If he just snapped and grabbed me, flipped me over, and drove into me from behind, so we didn’t have to lock eyes and acknowledge the shame we shared.
“Dammit,” he whispers, reaching down for his underwear.
“I’m sorry.”
He glares at me. “You never need to apologize to me, Maci. I should know better.”
“No, don’t do that. This isn’t an age thing. You’re not taking advantage of me. We’re both in the wrong.”
He pulls on his underwear, made more difficult by the fact his cock is still bulging. I ache to reach over, grab him again, and rub my hand up and down like in the pool. It made him so crazy the first time I did it. I want to hear his panting breaths again. I want to see that obsession in his eyes.
“That doesn’t make it any better,” he says miserably, heading for the door.
Somehow, I manage to get a few hours of sleep. It’s fitful and filled with vivid dreams of Lukas. I’m not very refreshed when I wake, but it’s better than nothing. I head downstairs for coffee. A note of paranoia touches me when Kayla smiles at me from the kitchen bar, but there’s nothing suspicious in her eyes. She has no idea what I did last night, what I almost did, what I wanted to do.
“Coffee?” I ask.
She raises her cup, showing me she already has one. “Oh, by the way, Dad left,” she says casually.
She’s got no reason to say it any other way. Why would she? She’s probably just telling me to make conversation, or so I know. It’s no big deal. I’m glad I’ve got my back to her, facing the coffee machine. That doesn’t change the fact I can see my reflection on the gleaming metal surface. It doesn’t change the fact I can see the pain in my eyes and the terror in the twist of my lips.
“Oh,” I murmur.
“I guess he needs to get back to work,” Kayla says absentmindedly. “At least we’ll have the place to ourselves now,” she laughs.
I laugh with her, but mine is hollow.
CHAPTER 13
LUKAS
Istand at the head of the boardroom, the tech team spread out around the table. They all have bags under their eyes, looking exhausted from the long hours they’re putting in. The head of the team, Jean-Luc, takes a bite of pizza and dabs his mouth with a napkin. After washing it down with a mouthful of soda, he says, “We have discovered the hole in the system. These dogs were able to jailbreak the VR headset via mechanical means, but we’ve patched it up with software. We’ve been trying to break our fix for a week, but so far, we have failed.”
A week… That’s how long it’s been since I left before dawn, the taste of my daughter’s best friend still on my lips. That’s how long it’s been since I last saw Maci. As I promised her, I’ve ensured we’re never in the same room together, but that doesn’t mean it’s been easy. That doesn’t mean my heart isn’t beating hard for her every second of every day.
