“Perfect,” he muttered under his breath. He made her believe him.
Darius could get any woman he wanted. Why her?
Why not?
She refused to sabotage this night, pushing away her lack of confidence so she could savor every minute.
“I’ve never—”
He shook his head. “I’ll show you everything. This is exactly how I want you. Untouched. Only for me.”
Darius ran the backs of his fingers along her cleavage. His jaw twitched. It turned her on knowing how much he wanted her. She’d always had body-image issues, but Darius changed all that. He made her feel sexy and desired. Proud to be in her skin regardless of the color or how many curves.
“Take it off,” he said. His tone was confident, leaving no room to refuse him.
She swallowed hard, her hands shaking slightly, but she reached behind her and unhooked her bra. Her breasts spilled free, her nipples already firm and highly aroused.
He growled, an animalistic sound that made her pussy tingle. God, she needed him. He kissed her shoulder, then peppered kisses lower and lower. As he squatted down in front of her again, he held her waist, then licked at her nipples. She cried out, not expecting such a magical burst of sensation. He suckled her nipple into his mouth, his skilled tongue driving her mad.
“Oh, God…”
He alternated between her breasts, worshiping her body and taking his time to explore every inch of her. Her skin practically sizzled, her heart rate picking up.
“Let’s get you on the bed,” he said.
She looked to the side. The bed was massive with solid wood posts, each elaborately carved—a major upgrade from her twin daybed.
Before she knew what was happening, her feet were whisked out from under her, and she was in Darius’s strong arms. His skin was so warm, almost hot against her. She couldn’t believe he carried her so effortlessly.
He set her on the edge of the bed. She wanted to touch him. The desperation to reach out and feel those muscles almost won out over her shyness. His body was ripped to perfection, so strong, so hard. He crawled over her as she fell to her back. His arms were powerful, supporting all his weight over her. Darius stared down, not saying a word for the longest time.
“You’re scared.”
She shrugged.
“Don’t be. Whatever you’ve heard about me, it’s probably lies.”
“I haven’t heard anything,” she said.
“Good. I’m not here to play games. I’m not here to use you and walk away. I know exactly what I want, and that’s you, Rose. I plan to keep you and fill you with my babies.”
Had she heard him correctly? Everything was happening so fast. One moment she was asking for a raise, and now she was in Darius Blackwood’s bed. He claimed to want forever with her, which was exactly what she dreamed of. It had always seemed so impossible that she’d put the fantasy out of her head. Were they lies? Would he tire of her? Or was he only interested in a breeding vessel?
“You hardly know me.”
“I’m forty-six. I’ve been with a lot of women, and trust me when I tell you that you’re the one for me.” He leaned down and kissed her lips, just once. “Call it love at first sight if that helps, but I know what I feel. I know precisely what I want.”
Her heart swelled.
This time, she felt more confident and dared to reach up between them to smooth her hands over his shoulders and back. He felt as good as he looked.
Darius groaned. “Touch me all you want, baby girl. I’m all yours.”
“Be patient with me,” she whispered while simultaneously pulling him closer. They kissed, soft and gentle at first, then the intensity increased. As the kiss deepened, their bodies touched skin to skin. She felt the hard ridge of his big cock between her legs, rubbing, driving her need higher. This was going to happen tonight. She’d lose her virginity to the CEO.
****
Darius had Rose in his bed, exactly where he’d wanted her.
He began trailing kisses down her body, lower and lower. Her body was a flawless soft brown, and he was hungry to taste her. When he reached her waist, he pulled off her panties, tossing them aside. She had a neat patch of curls above that perfect little pussy. He spread her legs wide, giving her thick thighs a kiss. She was so fucking curvy and delicious, his mouth practically salivated knowing what was coming next.
“You’re going to like this,” he said. Darius couldn’t wait to give her every kind of pleasure.
He loved her innocence, thrived on it. Virgins were a rare commodity, and he appreciated what he had in his bed. Money and power were one thing. Rose’s virgin body was something he couldn’t buy. Darius lowered to his stomach and got comfortable with his arms hooked under each of her legs. He gave her a tentative lick just to see her squirm. Her taste made his cock leak with pre-cum.
