Con Artist (Breeding #6)(19)



Her body tenses on top of me, but I don’t let up as she cries out and her orgasm hits. She climaxes on me and I slam her down one last time, grunting my release into her. It’s messy and quick, but I want to do it all over again the second I’m finished. I don’t know that I’ll ever get enough of her.

She falls against my chest as I try and catch my breath and I hold her close as I kiss the top of her head. We sit like that for a long moment with me just being inside her. I don’t want to separate us or move from this spot, but I wish we could somehow magically be in our bed back home.

I’m not sure how much time passes before she leans back to look at me. But when I see her holding the key in her hand there’s both pain and irritation inside me. I want to snatch it out of her hand, but this has to be her choice. I’ll make her change her mind and I’ll stop at nothing to get what I want in the end, but she has to make the decision first.

“So?” I say as I look at the key and cuff before I look into her eyes. “What will it be?”

She bites her bottom lip and closes her hand around the key. Just when I’m about to open my mouth to protest she holds out her fist towards me and opens her hand. She drops the key into my palm and I manage to catch it before it hits the ground.

“I want you, Bennett.” She shrugs and for some reason she looks so innocent. “I don’t know what this is or why it makes me feel so good, but I know that when I’m with you I’ve never felt more cherished and cared for.”

“That’s because you’re my world,” I say, pulling her closer to me to kiss her.

“Do we have to do this now?” Bennett asks as he holds me closer.

“Yes, we do.” I smile at him and he gives me a quick kiss. “Bradford helped me out when I needed it most. I owe him that much. Besides, I already sent him a text and said I was on my way.”

“Alright, I want a quick in and out, because I need another quick in and out.”

I laugh as he buries his face in my neck and growls. “With you it’s never quick.”

“You don’t seem to mind when you’re getting multiple orgasms,” he says, and I feel myself blush.

“That’s true,” I admit just as the car comes to a stop.

Bennett gets out and opens the door for me. He helps me out, and when I step onto the street I realize this is the exact spot where he ran into me the first time we met. As if he realizes it as well, he pulls me into his arms and kisses me. He leans me back in his arms, and when he pulls away I look up at him.

“That’s what I wanted to do the first time I had you in my arms.” He looks at me with so many emotions that I feel deep inside my heart.

I want to tell him everything I’m feeling and confess that even though this is crazy early, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. But will it scare him away? Will anything?

He pulls me close and then hand in hand we walk towards Bradford’s office. Once we’re inside we see a man at the front door that I’ve seen around a couple of times. Bennett stops and says hello to him. Knowing what I do about the people who work for Bradford, I don’t want to hang around. I let go of Bennett’s hand and point to Bradford’s door that’s just ahead. He glances at me and then nods as the guy keeps talking to him.

Bradford’s door is ajar and I push on it and step inside. When I glance around I see that Bradford’s desk is empty and I go to turn around and leave, but the door is shut. A chill runs down my spine when I see Josh standing there with an evil look in his eyes. I’ve never been in a room alone with him and thankfully Bradford has always been close by, but this time there’s no one else in sight and I’m pretty sure that door is soundproof.

“Bradford said you were on your way. He got caught up with his mom and told me to tell you he was coming.” He licks his lips as he takes a step towards me. “I thought we could have a little alone time together before I text him and tell him you made it.”

“Stay away from me,” I say, walking backwards until I bump into Bradford’s desk.

I grip the edge of it and think back to all the weapons Bradford probably has in there. Would I be able to get around to the other side before he grabbed me? I’m quick and even quicker when I’m scared.

“Don’t even think about,” Josh warns, reading my mind.

He stalks closer and flexes his fingers like he can’t wait to get his hands on me. It’s sinister and my fear is taking hold. My throat closes up and I can’t move as he plants his feet in front of me and reaches out.

Just before his hands make contact the door bursts open. It’s Bennett with Bradford hot on his heels. The two men look deadly as Josh moves to the side pretending to be cool about the whole thing. He casually leans against the desk beside me, like he wasn’t just about to hurt me, while I run straight into Bennett’s arms.

“Oh thank god,” I gasp. My nose is burning and tears threaten to break free. It was only for a few minutes, but it felt like hours of fear as the relief of being wrapped around him hits me.

“It’s okay, I’ve got you,” Bennett says soothingly, and I look over to see Bradford stalking towards Josh.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” he asks, grabbing Josh by the throat and pinning him to the wall.
