From Sanctum with Love (Masters and Mercenaries #10)(83)

“Undress me,” he said when he was satisfied those fingers were perfectly clean. “Tell me how you feel.”

She gave him a smile as she started to work on his shirt. “Happy. Relaxed.”

He watched her, enjoying the graceful way she moved and how the marks on her body formed patterns he could touch, patterns that spoke of her trust in him. “I don’t want you to worry about tonight.”

She smoothed the shirt off him and placed it around the back of his chair before running her hands over his chest. “I want everyone to be happy. I hate the thought of Sarah feeling bad, but I also hate the idea that Jared will think I betrayed him.”

“I’ll talk to him. He’ll understand that it was one hundred percent my call.” He cupped her face in his hands, staring down at her. “I know you like Jared, but you have to understand that once this film is through, he likely won’t be back.”

Her hands moved on his waist as though she drew comfort from the contact. “I don’t know about that. I think if you would let him in, he would be close to his family.”

He kissed her nose and then her lips, tenderness welling inside him. “He was never close. Not after we got to be teenagers. He went his way and I went mine. You’re my family, Kori. You’re the one I need close.”

“You know exactly how to manipulate me,” she whispered.

“I’m not manipulating you. There is nothing but truth here. I will talk to my brother, but I don’t want you to get too close to him because he disappears. Have fun tonight, but always know he’s going to go away again. Your sister is much better and you’ve learned to distance from her.”

She frowned. “Not really. She drives me insane, but she’s my sister. She’s family.”

“Family is what you make it,” he whispered.

“I…I…”

He knew that look. She didn’t want to say something because she thought it would make her look foolish. Kori struggled with any emotion that wasn’t bravado. There was only one thing she could want to say that would make her blush that hard. He could spank her ass all day, inflict torture on her and f*ck her sideways, but only one thing would make her blush. “Say it.”

Her mouth formed a stubborn line.

He moved in, his lips hovering above hers. “Say it.”

“I love you, Kai.”

That was what he wanted to hear. “I love you, too. Always have.”

He kissed her long and hard, his tongue tangling with hers. He let his hands slide down her back, cupping her cheeks and dragging her against him. He didn’t need anyone else. He didn’t need Jared or the rest of the world as long as he had her.

“I want you to suck me, Kori,” he whispered against her ear. “I want you on your knees, sucking my cock hard, and then I’m going to f*ck you right here on my desk. I want to look down at this desk and always be able to see you there waiting for me, naked and wanting.”

She dropped to her knees, her hands unbuckling his belt. She pulled it from his slacks and looked up at him, her eyes wide, hands holding it out.

Wicked girl. What was he going to do with her? “Kiss the belt and ask me nicely.”

She kissed the belt, her eyes never leaving his. “Will you please spank me while I service you, Sir?”

“No. I’ll do it after. I can’t be accurate while I’m getting a blowjob and I won’t hurt you without purpose.”

She frowned. “It could be fun.”

“So could me shoving an anal hook up your rectum.” He’d been eyeing them lately.

“After would be so lovely, Sir.” She let him take the belt and worked the fly of his slacks, his cock springing free. She took him in hand. “And thank you for handling the situation with your brother. I wasn’t sure of what to do.”

He wasn’t about to tell her that he would have moved mountains to ensure she would come with him, though not for the reasons she would suspect. He didn’t like the twist of guilt in his gut. It was so much easier to focus on her. He would make it up to her. Hell, he would make it up to Sarah. When all this was over, he would take Kori and her friend out to dinner and maybe start looking around to see if he could pair Sarah with a good Dom. One who would treat her right.

Then he wasn’t thinking at all because Kori leaned over and dragged her tongue over his dick. Heat flashed through his system, threatening to set him of fire. No one else could manage to do this to him. He’d had plenty of sex, but she was the only one who could truly touch his soul. Only this brown-haired beauty with her blue eyes and saucy mouth.

She used that mouth to drive him f*cking insane. She played with the head of his cock, teasing licks that made him want to stop her, to force her to take all of him. He could throat f*ck her until she begged for mercy. But he held off, letting her play. Sometimes watching her enjoy her service was more important than taking control.

She licked around the head of his cock, sucking lightly. He watched as her lips moved over him. Her hands ran up the length of his thighs, nails scratching lightly. Yes, she’d figured out he liked it when she was a bit rough with him, too.

Her tongue found the underside of his dick and he hissed slightly as she ran over and over it, focusing on the place where his cockhead met the stalk.

He watched as her lips moved over his cock, pink tongue making an appearance from time to time. She dragged it up and over his shaft. Her hands came up to cup his balls before moving around and tracing the curves of his ass.
