The Boss Too (Managing the Bosses 2)

She lay tanning by the pool, enjoying the unusually hot and sunny spring day. She smiled, happy she could now feel comfortable lying by a pool in a bikini. It seemed like the diet and exercise had really worked. Her stomach was completely flat and not even a hint of excess could be seen, a six-pack could be seen through the shadows of the suntan lotion.

She moved her sunglasses off her face and closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun against her skin.

“Enjoying yourself?” Alex’s deep voice rumbled above her in what felt like seconds later.

She opened her eyes and sat up, smiling. “It’s the first day I can be outside without shivering. Figured I should take advantage of it while I could.”

His brilliant blue, lust-filled eyes slid down and absorbed all of her body, making Jamie grow warmer. “I’m glad,” he said huskily and smiled. Jamie blushed and then watched his eyes darken. “You have no idea how sexy you look when you blush like that.” His voice came out as if he were begging her to stop, even though she wasn’t even doing anything.

Jamie bit her lip and felt the need to rub her thighs together. She squirmed under his penetrating gaze, unable to breathe properly.

Alex glanced at the view behind them and took off his shirt. “I was just about to go for a swim,” he said, tossing the shirt carelessly near Jamie.

She caught a whiff of his scent as it landed only a few inches away. She felt his gaze on her again, searing into her.

“Want to join me?” His voice had that aroused begging tone again.

Jamie gasped silently, becoming more aroused herself. More than just swimming laps was going to happen in the pool. “I-I’ll think about it,” she murmured. Her stomach fluttered at the thought of what it would feel like to have sex in a pool. She slipped on her sunglasses and let her eyes travel down over his abs and along his biceps that rippled as he unzipped his jeans to reveal dark blue swim trunks that hugged him perfectly.

“I know you’re watching me.” He smiled at her and turned so she could see him better, not minding at all that she wanted to stare at him.

“You’re sexy as hell,” she told him, not embarrassed at all to admit it.

Alex knelt down and grabbed her hand and pulled her up against him. His hands reached down and gripped her hips, his fingers grazing her derriere. Jamie’s breath caught as her gaze landed on his lips. He reached up, pulled her glasses off, and gently cupped her cheek as he tilted her face up. His lips met hers hungrily.

She sighed and melted into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his shoulders before finally pulling away. She needed to be sure. “Alex,” she breathed, trying to recollect her mind again. “Are you sure about this? I mean, I’m your assistant.”

He smiled down at her, his fingers entwining in her long hair that hung perfectly down her shoulders. “And I know we shouldn’t, but I can’t help myself around you, Jamie. How could I when you look like this?” His hand traveled down and circled around her slim waist. He kissed her temple. “You’re beautiful. And sweet, and perfect.” His lips traveled down to meet hers. “The only thing that could stop me right now is you saying no. Please don’t?” The pleading returned and it was incredibly sexy that he couldn’t resist her. Someone like him needing her? Who in their right mind would say no to him?

Jamie sighed. “Don’t stop.”

A sensual smile crossed his lips. “Good,” he whispered. “I don’t know what I would do if you said no.” He bent down to hook her legs right behind the knees and then lifted her in his arms effortlessly. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt so tiny in his arms.

“I could carry you around like this forever,” he whispered, kissing her temple again. “Do you feel secure right now?”

Jamie nodded. The thought that he might drop her had never even occurred to her. She leaned against his chest and closed her eyes. She felt him walk gently and then heard the gentle splash of water. She shivered slightly as a slight breeze brushed past her and hugged him tighter.

“I’ve got you,” he said as he waded in until the water was up to his hips, then gently lowered her in. The water was perfect temperature and lapped against her skin, like Alex’s tongue when they slept together last time. She moved her hands onto his chest, stroking the contours of his muscles.

He groaned. “You’re going to kill me, Jamie.”

She giggled and brushed her fingers over his bare abdomen, feeling his muscles twitch beneath them. “I certainly hope not,” she teased. “Not yet, anyway.”

He hissed and stilled her hand with his own. “Keep teasing me and I won’t last nearly as long as I want to.” He backed her up against the wall. His voice was husky with arousal. “It’s my turn to tease you.” He stroked Jamie’s spine gently, leaving rivulets of water all over her back. She gasped and shivered with pleasure at the touch and he lowered his lips to hers. “I love it when you gasp like that,” he said against her lips before claiming her mouth as his own.

She sighed and then gasped again as his hand traveled lower and slipped into the back of her bathing suit. He roughly squeezed her as he jerked her toward him, grinding his hips against hers. She whimpered and kissed his collarbone, biting it gently until he groaned.

“None of that,” he said harshly. “You’ve no idea how close I am to losing it.” His hand slid to the front of her bikini bottom and he pressed a finger inside of her, making her gasp. He rubbed her gently with his thumb while his other hand untied the strings to her top. “I’m going to make you beg for me.”

Jamie blushed as it fell.

He looked down at her breasts as he gripped one in his free hand. “So fucking sexy,” he breathed before his mouth captured her budding nipple and sucked hard on it.

His tongue stroked her nipple in circles until it blossomed, completely aroused.

She gasped and let her head fall back, her hair brushing against her shoulders and the tips teasing the edge of the water. She squirmed beneath his touch, begging for more of him. Pressure built quickly inside her.

Alex smiled knowingly at her as he brought his head up and forced her to watch him. He tugged down her bikini bottom so he cou
