Delta's Baby Surprise (Special Forces Elite 1)

I stood from my desk. She was wearing the clothes I requested. A slim black skirt that showed off miles of legs and a sleeveless silk shirt. She looked edible. And I knew exactly how sweet she tasted. My cock twitched. Fuck, she had thrown me off my game.

“Are you busy? Should I come back?” she offered.

“No. I was going over today’s agenda. I can look at it later.” I walked to the front of the desk, taking her palm and dragging her toward me.

My hand slid along her jaw, twisting her hair through my fingers. Her lips parted and I couldn’t resist. My kiss wasn’t gentle or romantic. My tongue plunged into her mouth, coaxing a moan from her throat.

I gripped her ass with my other hand.

“Ready to see the royal library, Molly Washington?” I teased.

She dragged her lips over mine. “Mmmhmm.”

“Let’s go.”

I straightened my jacket, positioning my cufflinks so that the family crest was upright. I pressed the button on the elevator.

Molly seemed to have more time to take in her surroundings. “Are there other people here?” she asked.

I cocked my head toward her. “You’ll have to elaborate. My staff is nearly 200.”

“Oh.” She fidgeted nervously. “Visitors? Tourists perhaps?”

I nodded. “Not in this part of the palace. There is a limited route. I try never to intercept them. It causes a security nightmare in the palace if the tourists see me.”

“This place is enormous. What do you do with all the rooms?”

The doors retracted and we stepped into the foyer. Last night’s security had been replaced with two fresh faces. They stared straight ahead as I guided Molly along the corridor.

“You’ve seen the king’s residence.” I winked. “I do share my roof with three princes and a princess. It can get crowded.”

“Your brothers and sister?”

“Yes. We all have apartments. The first two floors are reserved for official state business. Meetings, balls, state dinners, field trips for children. The living quarters for some of the staff and the kitchens. Then there are the art galleries, the gardens, and the recreational areas.”

“Holy shit, this is insane. It’s a city inside a city.”

I laughed at her language. Rules changed outside my residence. Decorum mattered.

“You’ll watch that dirty mouth.” I eyed her. “Save that for my bed, Sapphire.”

Her mouth opened in shock. Her eyes dropped to the floor. “I’m sorry.” She sucked in her bottom lip. “And you can’t call me that,” she scolded playfully. I liked how easily she fell into banter.

“Don’t apologize. Just watch what you say. You’re in a royal household. I’ll call you what I want.”

I saw her back stiffen. Her heels clacked against the marble floor. It took everything in me not to smack her ass firmly and press her up against the wall next to the coat of arms. The knight could watch me fuck her. Watch her come hard as I defiled the family heirlooms.

“Here.” I pressed the small of her back. “The library.”

Her gasp was worth everything. She stood at the entrance. I’d never thought about what this room would look like through the veil of someone else’s eyes. But Molly gave me that glimpse. Her awe was palpable.

She walked toward the shelves, careful not to touch any of the volumes. Her fingers hovered just short of the spines.

“These are amazing. I can’t believe this collection. There are books in here that must be over a hundred years old. I-I’m speechless.”

I stuffed my hands in my pockets. “You can touch the books, Molly.”

She shook her head. “No. I couldn’t. They’re too precious. The history of these texts is priceless.”
