Tempted Heir (The Heirs 7)

I wait until I hear the door open, and only then do I reach for the garter. I slip it around my waist, and I hope I look sexy as fuck, as I glance at him from under my lashes.

Seeing his heated gaze locked on me where he’s standing in only a towel hanging dangerously low on his hips, makes intense desire rush through my body.

I slowly pull on the stockings and clip them into place. Taking hold of the pencil dress that accentuates every curve of my body, I put it on then turn my back to Christopher. “Can you zip me up, please?”

He moves closer to me, and I feel his fingers brush against my skin as he slowly pulls the zip up. The intimate touch sends goosebumps spreading over my skin and my lips part.

When he’s done, his hands move down my sides to where the dress stops mid-thigh, and then he fists the fabric. His breath stirs in my hair, and I tilt my head to the side, letting the strands fall away from my neck.

When his lips brush over my skin, my eyes drift shut, and I savor the moment.

God, I want him so much. Desperately.

Christopher steps back, and then the towel drops at my feet. I struggle to suppress my smile, and knowing he’s naked behind me sends an overwhelming, thrilling sensation through me.

Slowly I turn around, and then my eyes widen, flutters explode in my stomach, and my abdomen tightens.

Holy shit, I like what I see.

Christopher is all toned muscle, and his cock… daayumm. I never thought that part of a man could be… attractive?

Every inch of him is hard, radiating strength and confidence. It’s intoxicating.

Then he turns around, reaching for his clothes, and I get a view of his ass.

“I never considered myself an ass person until now,” I mutter as I take in the perfection.

“Yeah?” he chuckles. He steps into his boxers and pants, and as he shrugs on his shirt, he glances at me, a slight frown on his forehead. “Do you wear the lingerie under your clothes every day?”

Smiling, I grin at him. “Yes.”

He nods slowly. “Thanks for that. Now I’m not going to get any work done.”

I let out a burst of laughter as I step into my heels, and walking by him, I slap his ass. “Tit for tat.”

I hear him chuckle as I walk to the dressing table to get started with my makeup.

I’m busy swiping on mascara when Christopher places a cup of coffee down on the table. I smile up at him. “Thank you.”

He sits down on the bed, and drinking his coffee, he watches me as I continue applying my makeup.

“You don’t need all of that,” he murmurs once I’m done.

“It’s my war paint. It makes me feel confident.”

He lets out a chuckle. “Let’s go win some wars then.”

“Five minutes,” I say as I walk to the bathroom. I wash my hands and then put on my earrings and engagement ring.

“God, you’re beautiful,” Christopher murmurs as he gets up from the bed.

After taking a sip of my coffee, I say, “I’m glad you think so.”

We take the cups to the kitchen and then head to the elevator. As we go down, I turn and straighten Christopher’s tie. Brushing my hands over his shoulders, I push up on my toes and press a kiss to his mouth. “Thank you for everything. You’re really making this a dream come true for me.”

His lips curve up in a tender smile. “That’s because you’re a dream come true for me. I’m just repaying the favor.”

CHRISTOPHER

Walking into my sister’s office, I take a seat at the table where we have all our executive meetings and drop the folders on the marble surface.

Danny grins at me as she leans back in her chair. “It’s good seeing you in love. I’m glad you pulled your head out of your ass and made a move on Dash.”

I know she’s happy for me, but I don’t miss the sadness in her eyes. “You’ll meet your person soon.”

She lets out a sigh as she reaches for a folder. “I’m not holding my breath.”

Ryker comes in, and once he’s taken a seat, I say, “Dash and I got engaged.”

His eyebrows pop up then he looks at Danny. “Is he joking? I can’t tell.”

She lets out a burst of laughter. “He’s serious.”

Smiling wide, Ryker leans over, giving me a brotherly hug. “Congrats. Look after my cousin.”

“I will.”

Kao and Noah finally join us, and Noah must’ve told his best friend the news because Kao comes to shake my hand. “Congrats. I hope you and Dash are happy together.”

“Thanks.”

“Where’s Dash?” Danny asks as she glances at the door.

Just then, Dash comes rushing in. “Sorry, I was stuck on a call.”

Once we’re all ready, Danny leans forward, asking, “Kao, how are the new designs coming along?”
