Dirty Boss (Dirty Rich 2)

I roll my dress to my chest, unhook my bra, and slide it off my shoulders.

My nipples tighten.

I'm stripping for a voice on the phone. No, for Blake. For a man with all the money and power in the world.

I like that he has the power to snap his fingers and destroy me.

I like that I'm out of my fucking mind.

I want to forget the rest of the world. I want to forget everything but his demands.

"Good." His voice gets heavier. "Play with your nipples."

I squeeze my eyes closed and imagine him here, touching me the way he touched me in the office.

Slowly, my thumbs brush my nipples. I draw circles. Soft ones. Then hard ones.

A groan falls off my lips. Then another. It's almost like he's touching me. But, fuck, I really wish it was him touching me.

His breath gets heavier.

Needier.

He's the one in control, but I'm doing something to him too. I'm driving him out of his mind too.

"Bring your hand to your thigh," he says. "But don't touch your cunt. Not yet."

I stroke the inside of my thigh. Closer and closer and closer. But not quite there.

My breath speeds. Desire courses through me. I need release. I'm desperate.

"Kat."

"Yes."

"I said not yet."

I move my hand back to my knee, tracing circles around it. I can't wait any longer. I need to come. I've never needed to come this badly.

"Back to your thighs," he says.

No. Now. I need release now.

It's torture dragging my hand to my thigh. Stroking my skin as softly as I can stand it.

But it's a beautiful torture.

"Now," Blake says. "Slowly."

My fingertips brush my clit.

It's intense. I'm wound up. Sensitive.

I do it a little harder.

A little longer.

Fuck.

That feels so good.

A groan falls off my lips.

I lean back on the bench seat.

And I touch myself with that same speed. That same pressure.

Then faster.

Harder.

Mmmm.

I need to come. I need my groans in his ear. I need everything.

His voice gets hard. "Slowly."

No. Faster. Harder. Now.

I force myself to slow. I force my touch to lighten. My fingers brush my clit with soft circles. It's agony. Delicious, beautiful agony.

Pleasure wells up inside me. My sex tightens. I'm close. So fucking close.

I keep up those slow circles. I wind myself up. Tighter and tighter and tighter.

His breath gets heavier. Needier.

He's sitting there in his office, listening to me touch myself.

And I…

I really fucking like that.

It deepens the ache inside me.

My hand takes over. I move faster. Harder.

Pleasure pools in my core.

The tension is too much too take. I'm so close.

"Come for me, Kat."

Yes.

My next stroke is faster. Harder. It only takes a few flicks of my finger, and I'm there. Agony fades into bliss. Pure, deep, blinding bliss.

The tension inside me unfurls as I come. My groans echo around the limo. Pleasure spills to my fingers and toes. I feel so fucking good.

I collapse on the bench seat. Spent. Satisfied.

"Fucking beautiful," he growls.

I try to find words, but they refuse to climb my throat.

"I'll let you go." Satisfaction drips into his voice. "Sweet dreams."

"You too."

The phone clicks.

I catch my breath, then I push myself up. Get back into my dress. Stuff my cell into my purse.

I'm not in control of this.

Not at all.

It's terrifying.

But it's thrilling too.

At ten the next morning, there's a loud knock on the door. I nearly drop the graphic novel in my hands. The slick plastic cover—the same on every other library book I've ever borrowed—is slippery.

Lizzy is at school.

Nobody comes by this early.

That must be Blake's assistant. With our paperwork.

I rise to my feet and move to the door. "Hello."

"Hello, Ms. Wilder. I have something for you."

I pull open the door.

A friendly man in a suit smiles at me. He hands over a sleek black briefcase. And a cup of coffee. "Mr. Sterling said you'd appreciate this."

Blake is sending me coffee.

From his assistant, but still.

I take a long sip. It's more bitter than I like it, but it's still good. Rich. Strong. Bold. Like him.

"Thank you." I nod goodbye and move back inside the house.

I fix my coffee with a little cream and sugar and take another sip. There. That's perfect.

I guess Blake did say he'd take care of me.

It's a strange thought. For the last three years, I haven't let anyone help me. I've been taking care of myself. And of Lizzy.

Half of me wants to let go of every ounce of that control.

The other half wants to hold onto it as tightly as I can.

I take another sip of my coffee. I let it warm me from inside out. I let it push my thoughts away.

This is coffee.

It doesn't have to mean more than coffee.

But what's in this briefcase—

The paperwork makes everything official.

A non-disclosure agreement forbids me from sharing details of our arrangement with anyone.

There's a credit card in my name. The bill goes right to Blake.

The contract stipulates our terms.

Starting today, I am Blake's doting girlfriend. I'll clear my schedule for him whenever he needs me. He gets approval of all my public appearances and social media.

Within the next three months, we'll marry. I'll sign a prenup. He decides when we'll divorce, but it will be by the end of next year. I'll get a million dollars for my trouble.

He'll pay off the mortgage as an advance.

My incidentals go on the credit card. They're to be "reasonable."

But I'm pretty sure Blake's idea of a reasonable allowance ends in a lot of zeros.

No more shitty generic coffee.

No more library books.

No more crappy running shoes.

No more serving rich assholes.

I'll be smiling at them instead. But at least they'll be the ones sucking up to me.

I pick up my cheap Bic pen and I sign on the dotted line.

I'm signing away my freedom.

But I'm getting a hell of a lot in return.

I put in my two weeks' notice.

I tell Lizzy I'm dating a new guy. A rich guy.

She presses for details, but I keep my lips zipped. I don't know what to tell her. I don't want to lie to my sister. Bu

t I need to say something. She needs to know I'm quitting my job because we're set.

I think it over all week.

I fail to come up with a cover story.

Saturday morning, Blake's limo pulls up at nine on the dot.

Thankfully, Lizzy is still asleep. I leave a note on the kitchen table and make my way outside.

It's a beautiful day. Yellow sun. Bright blue sky. Crisp, clear air. The skyline is beautiful. Awake. Alive. Inviting.

Jordan is standing on the stoop. He nods hello. "Nice to see you, Ms. Wilder." He opens the door and motions after you.

I slide inside.

Blake is on the opposite bench. He's wearing slacks and a blue, collared shirt. His sleeves are rolled to his elbows.

He almost looks casual. But in an untouchable Blake kind of way.

"Good morning." He nods.

"Good morning." I try to pry my eyes from his forearms, but I fail. God, he really has nice forearms. And I can't bring myself to look him in the eyes. Not after what we did… what I did last time I was in this car.

He hands over a cup of coffee. "How do you take it?"

"Cream and sugar."

He holds up a nondescript paper bag. "I have a few different options."

I grab it. It's warm. And it smells like—

I tear it open.

Bagels.

Plain. Sesame. Onion. Cinnamon raisin.

I grab the latter and pull it apart. "My favorite." I dig out cream and sugar. But how am I going to fix my coffee while we're moving?

"Here." Blake offers his hand.

I nod.

He takes my coffee and my packets. He sets the cup on the bench seat and peels the plastic lid open. Somehow, he fixes it without spilling a drop.

His fingers brush mine as he returns my java.

It's the same as last time. My body lights up. It wants those hands.

But then…

Maybe today.

Maybe I'll get them today.

"Thank you." I take a long sip of my coffee. It's perfect. This is the perfect breakfast.

He takes the plain bagel and tears off half. "It's going to be a long day."

I nod and take a bite. Mmm. Chewy, sweet, spicy perfection.

"Let me know if it's too much."

"What?"

His eyes pass over me slowly. "Everything."

Blake's assistant, Ashleigh, a pretty black woman in a designer outfit, guides us through an exclusive department store. She fills her arms with expensive things and leads me into a fitting room.

It starts with underwear. She measures me for a bra and brings a dozen in my size. Some are sexy, lacy things. Some are comfortable. Practical.
