“No. I wanted to share it with you first.”
Nikki’s heart warmed at his words.
Not that she was going to let him off that easily. She swatted his chest. “Then of course I need to share it with Kai. Maybe if you didn’t antagonize him so much, you might actually get along. You two have more in common than you think.”
“About as much as a cat and an octopus have in common.”
Rolling her eyes, Nikki tried to get up, but Rafe tightened his grip. “Rafe, I have to. Kai’s my boss and he’s very clever. He will probably have suggestions that will give us a better chance of success.”
“I may not like it, but I understand that. However, I’m not letting you up until you kiss me good morning. Won’t you kiss me, Nikki?”
“I’m surprised you’re asking.” He gave her a look and Nikki laughed. “Hey, if you ask my permission for everything, we’re going to waste a lot of time.”
His look turned heated. “So, if I want to bend you over this table and take you right now, I don’t need your permission?”
The image of Rafe taking her hard from behind sent a rush of heat through her body.
Rafe spoke again before she could. “Judging by your blush, I’ll take that as a no, I don’t.”
She narrowed her eyes. “Just shut up and kiss me.”
Rafe took her lips in a quick, hot kiss before whispering, “Last chance to say no, you don’t want it, Nikki.”
Surely Kai wouldn’t mind if she took twenty minutes to play with her human. After all, she was supposed to be taking the entire day off.
Her beast hummed in approval, but Nikki ignored her. “You have to catch me first.”
Nikki slipped under the table, between Rafe’s legs, and slid to the other side. She was about to stand up when Rafe blocked her path. “Someone’s slow today.”
Reaching out, she grabbed his ankle and pulled. Rafe stumbled, but couldn’t find his balance and tumbled to the floor. She tried to slink past him, but he grabbed her arm and put her wrist in a lock. It wasn’t painful, but if she moved, it would break.
Rafe grunted. “I caught you, so now you’re mine.”
He kept her wrist locked but maneuvered to crouch over her.
If Nikki really wanted to, she could extend a talon and slice his leg. But as her heart pounded and heat flooded her body at Rafe’s closeness, Nikki didn’t actually want to escape. She wanted him to carry out his suggestion.
In the next second, Rafe released her wrist, picked her up by the waist, and laid her top half down on the table. Nikki’s sensitive breasts crushed against the hard surface. While the pressure against her nipples felt good, she would love it more if the hard surface was Rafe’s chest.
Rafe merely stood behind her, caressing up and down her back. Each stroke shot straight between her legs, making her wetter.
Without thinking, she widened her legs in invitation. She was wearing a nightshirt with no underwear. All Rafe had to do was take out his cock and thrust.
Yet as each second passed, she wondered if he would see his threat through. Maybe he was still too sore.
Just as she was about to turn her head and say something, Rafe’s hard dick brushed against her folds. Nikki cried out and Rafe murmured, “Sometimes the anticipation of something makes it that much better.”
She had a feeling his words held a double meaning, but in the next second, he plunged into her, and she forgot about everything else.

Rafe paused when he was inside Nikki’s pussy to the hilt. The sight of her disheveled hair, her tossed-up nightshirt, and her arse sticking up from the table was one he wanted to remember for a long time to come.
Then the little minx wiggled. Gripping the back of her neck, he lightly squeezed. “Someone’s impatient.”
She did it again as she met his gaze with a smile. Damn, she was so fucking beautiful when she smiled.
“Rafe,” she said. “Your grip on my neck is fairly pointless as I can slip away if I wanted to.” She circled her lower body and he bit back a groan. “Are you ever going to carry out your promise to take me on this table?”
