Chapter FiveThe ride to her hotel was thick with sexual tension. But they both managed to keep their hands to themselves.Once inside her suite, Grace asked, “So, would you actually like dessert, or was that a euphemism for sex?”“Do you really need to ask, Gracie?” he grinned provocatively.Grace turned her back to McKinley, “Will you help unzip my dress?”His cock was ready to burst out of his trousers. “I’d be amenable to assisting you,” he said, more formally than he had intended to.Grace’s pulse quickened as nimble fingers pulled the zipper down, exposing her bare skin to the cool air in the room. But it wasn’t the temperature that caused the shiver that crept up her spine. As she let the dress slide off her shoulders, McKinley’s fingers lingered at the small of her back and traced a line down to the crack of her ass.Although her back was still turned, she could feel him grinning. She realized she was as well when she said, “Mm, you touch me as if you know me already.”He laughed softly, “Not yet, but I certainly do intend to start discovering you.”She moaned as he kissed her neck while unfastening her bra. He let that fall on the floor as well.“Mac, I…” she began what sounded like a protest.The impatient side of McKinley was ready to make some regrettable remark. Fortunately for him, Grace turned around and planted a kiss on his lips that made him practically forget his own name.“I want you,” she finished. “I want to discover you, too.”He stepped back from her, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt. She stepped toward him and helped with his trousers.They stood naked before each other for a moment, as if someone had pressed pause on the scene. Then McKinley picked her up and tossed her gently on the king-sized bed. He took her legs in his hands and opened them, delighted by the prize he saw there.“Why, Ms. Remy, I’ve just discovered something the vetting process did not discern,” he grinned.The glint of gold that adorned her pussy made his cock twitch. He couldn’t fathom why seeing her most intimate part pierced should make him so hard. But it was definitely turning him on. He kneeled on the floor and scooted Grace to the edge of the bed, so she was inches from his face. His hot breath on her bare mound caused a hitch in her breathing. And, when his tongue began to part her glistening pink folds, she moaned softly.He was torn between wanting to devour her and savor her. So, he aimed for somewhere between restraint and unbridled passion and was rewarded with nectar sweeter than he’d ever tasted when he took her right up to, and then, over the edge.Grace’s pulse raced faster while she panted harder and screamed louder than she could remember as the intense orgasm ripped through her body. “Oh, God! Oh, Mac! Oh, yes!”When she could breathe normally, she caught the look of smug pleasure on McKinley’s face. She grinned dreamily and said, “You’ve got a talented tongue. Two can play that game.”Before he knew what Ankara bayan escort hit him, Grace took hold of Mac’s body and flipped him over, trading places. Now, it was her turn to discover the delicious prize that he wielded between his legs. She looked up at him devilishly and said, “Let me return the favor.”He’d barely finished nodding when her hands and her mouth captured all of him. He felt his eyes flutter and close as he moaned, “My God, you’re wicked!”She laughed, “I can stop if you wish.”“Don’t you dare!” he moaned as his manhood disappeared slowly into her willing mouth. Her hands did something divine with his balls while his shaft found itself buried in her throat again and again. It was unlike anything he’d ever experienced.“Holy fuck!” he cried out as he exploded into her mouth, and she sucked him dry.Chapter SixGrace found herself unsure whether to curl up beside him or stay put. So, she sat up for a moment. Mac frowned, “Where are you going?”“Nowhere,” she answered, pleased that he seemed to want her to stay put. She moved to lie next to him and propped her head up on her elbow. “I’d say, so far, that we seem compatible in bed.”McKinley laughed, “Well, that’s an understatement! I’d say we both saw God.”He wasn’t used to saying things like that out loud. He felt a twinge of embarrassment. Fortunately, she didn’t seem to notice.“Indeed,” she admitted. “Still, I can’t stop thinking about what round two will bring.”He rolled on his side to look at her. She wasn’t the most beautiful woman he’d ever slept with, but she was certainly easy on the eyes, not to mention delightful in bed.“I like a greedy woman,” he grinned, placing a hand on her left breast to guide it to his mouth.“Seems to me, you’re the greedy one,” she moaned softly.As he sucked and nibbled eagerly on her hardened nipple, he felt his cock coming back to life. Then the shrill sound of his cell phone spoiled the moment.“I’m sorry, I need to answer that,” he apologized as he reached for his phone.“Not half as sorry as I am,” she mused.McKinley rolled over and retrieved his cell from the nightstand, cursing softly as he eyed the caller id. He watched with regret as Grace got up and donned a robe, disappearing into the bathroom.“What is it, Alice?” he barked into the phone.Unaccustomed to being greeted so curtly, Alice snapped back, “I’m sorry to disturb your slumber party, but there has been a major adjustment to the travel schedule.”“No need to be snarky,” he admonished her. “And this notification couldn’t wait until morning?”“In the past, you’ve always instructed me to let you know immediately about any changes,” she huffed.“Fine, is there anything else?” he said, trying to reel in his annoyance.“Don’t you wish to know what the changes are?” she asked, equally annoyed.“Alice,” McKinley said, trying to sound patient, “I trust you to handle the details. I will call you in the morning to discuss whatever Escort bayan Ankara alterations you’ve needed to make in my schedule.”“Very well,” Alice said, her tone still snippy. “I apologize for interrupting your evening.”He sighed impatiently, “It’s fine, Alice. Have a good night. We will talk tomorrow.”McKinley ran a hand through his hair, contemplating whether to stay for round two, as Grace had called it, or call it a night with the mood broken. When the bathroom door opened and Grace emerged, his loins made the decision for him.“Everything okay with Alice?” she asked, mildly irritated. She had debated asking him to leave, but she didn’t think she could wait much longer to feel him inside her.He ruffled at her question. He had no desire to discuss Alice and the fact that Grace had been spot on when she had suggested that Alice had feelings for him and was jealous that he’d hired Grace.“Nothing you need to be concerned about; sorry for the intrusion, care to pick up where we left off?” he asked, hopefully.His flippant dismissal of her inquiry made it clear to Grace that she had no business asking about his conversation with Alice. She found it irritating.“You’re the boss,” she answered, feigning indifference.He felt wounded by her comment. Yet, it was an accurate statement, however poorly timed it might seem. She wasn’t wrong. If all he’d been after was an intelligent, organized piece of eye candy to host his clients, he could have asked Alice to accompany him. But he’d wanted a woman to warm his bed as well. He’d thought over dinner they had grown to feel something for each other. But he’d been foolish, apparently. Grace was a well-paid escort, not a girlfriend or lover.“No worries, Ms. Remy,” he said with an air of superiority, “Come back to bed. You’ll be well compensated for your time.”He caught the flash of anger in her eyes as he motioned for her to join him again on the bed. She complied, but gone was the playful, sensual woman who had milked his cock with her exquisite mouth. She’d grown stiff and formal, and it was his fault. He swore silently in his head. He should go, but he couldn’t imagine being able to sleep tonight without having her.“Grace, I…” he began.“No worries, Mr. Stewart. I simply didn’t realize that I was on the clock this evening,” she said curtly. “Now that I’m aware, I am happy to spread my legs for you.”His eyes clouded over with anger. Things had been so easy between them before Alice’s call. He cursed himself for answering. He’d made it clear to Alice that she should only contact him if there were an urgent matter that needed his attention. His admin had never shown any jealousy in the past, so this was quite baffling to him.He watched Grace as she removed her robe, got back on the bed, and let her legs fall open for him. A war between decency and urgency waged inside him. In the end, his hot desire for her won out, and he found himself climbing Bayan escort Ankara on top of her.As he entered her, that need took over, and he thrust into her repeatedly until he emptied himself inside her. He was acutely aware that she hadn’t climaxed, hadn’t even appeared close. He’d never been a careless lover, and it embarrassed him that he had taken her so callously. He rolled onto his back and inhaled sharply.“I’m happy to do whatever you need to make you cum,” he said quietly.“No worries, Mr. Stewart. Your oral skills earlier were quite satisfying. I don’t need to see God twice in one night. But if you’ve finished with me, I’d like to take a shower and try to get a decent night’s sleep,” she said matter-of-factly.He’d never felt so unsure of his next move. He hadn’t forced himself on her. So, why did this situation leave a bad taste in his mouth?“Ms. Remy…Grace, I…” he found himself a little tongue-tied. It was not a feeling with which he was familiar. “I should go.”“Yes, you should,” she agreed.She got up and slipped her robe back on, then grabbed herself a soda from the minibar. The silence, while he dressed, was uncomfortable. He felt like an idiot.He sighed, “How do I make this right?”“You don’t,” she answered honestly. “You just move on. But I understand better now what my role is meant to be. So, thank you for making that abundantly clear.”Though she tried to remain cool, her voice wavered a bit at the end. Mac felt a twinge of regret and wished, more than anything, that he could go back to the moment when he’d decided to answer the phone instead of letting it go to voicemail.He struggled with what to say next, but she cut off his thoughts by saying, “I’d really like you to leave now.”He nodded and turned to go. He hesitated as he turned the doorknob, turned to look at Grace before he left, and noticed a single tear on her cheek. He felt like an ass.“Grace…” he started again.“Please, just go,” she stopped him.He nodded again and left.Chapter SevenMcKinley spent the ride home trying to put Grace out of his mind. But the harder he tried not to think about her, the more difficult that became. He let his thoughts travel back to how stunning she’d looked across the table from him at the restaurant with the reflection of the candle’s flame flickering in her blue-green eyes. Her auburn hair had been swept back and was pinned up and, along with her low-cut black dress, exposed her lovely neck.She’d proven to be a great conversationalist, giving him hope that his European business tour would be fun and enjoyable. She was smart, funny, and had a certain sparkle about her. At one point, he’d allowed himself to wonder about the possibility of a relationship with her when the European roll-out was complete.Now, he’d behaved poorly and had damaged the fledgling camaraderie that they’d established. He tried to wave it off. He hoped that Grace Remy would take care of his needs, both in and out of the bedroom. But now, it would be perfunctory in nature, not exciting and stimulating.Once he arrived home, he showered and got ready for bed. Hours earlier, he’d envisioned himself waking up next to Grace after several hours of lovemaking and the seduction of post-sex sleep that would leave them both satisfied and refreshed.
