The Boss Project(71)

I tilted my head coyly. “Well, fifteen minutes is all we have, so we’re going to have to do it my way.”

The slow grin that spread across Merrick’s face gave me goosebumps, even from ten feet away. “Any way you want, sweetheart.”

I curled a finger at him. “Come here. No touching.”

“No fucking way I can promise you no touching…”

“You’re wasting time, bossman.”

His eyes sparkled as he walked over and stood toe-to-toe with me. Merrick was always an imposing figure, but this stance was a power move. He was fully dressed and looking down, while I was naked and had to tilt my head back to see him. But I had a power move of my own up my nonexistent sleeve.

I dropped to my knees.

Merrick bent his head back and mumbled a string of curses as I unzipped his slacks. The sound of his buckle clanking open and the zipper teeth coming apart had me salivating. By the time I yanked his pants to the floor, I couldn’t wait any longer. He was hard and ready.

I licked my red lips and opened, sucking in the wide crown of his smooth cock.

“Fuck…” Merrick growled. “Take it. Take it all, Evie.”

He dug his hands into my hair and wrapped clumps of it around his fists, giving a hard tug as I ran my tongue along the underside. The soft nip of pain made me wild.

Looking up, I tilted my head back to give him a better view from above. Then I bobbed my head up and down, taking him farther and farther with each thrust forward.

“Jesus Christ, keep doing that,” he growled. “Suck harder. Take more.”

The desperation in his voice had me so turned on. I could feel him trying to restrain himself, in his touch and the shake of his words. That made me want to break that last bit of self-control he was trying to hold on to. I looked back up, and the image of such a powerful man, still dressed in his custom-made shirt and tie, looking so out of his mind with carnal desire, made me crazy.

He swelled in my mouth, growing impossibly thicker as I worked my tongue over the bulging veins and opened my jaw still wider. I started to jerk him with one hand while I pushed past the spot in my throat that wasn’t always easy. When he slipped in deeper, his grip on my head tightened, and I felt his body shake as the switch flipped from getting head to taking it. Merrick began fucking my mouth.

He held my head in place while he took over, pumping in and out, grumbling curses with every thrust in.

“I’m going to come… Evie.”

His grip in my hair loosened, giving me a chance to pull away if I wanted to, but I wanted it as much as he did. So I answered by taking him as deep as I could.

“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” He groaned.

My eyes started to water as he emptied into me for a very long time. I wasn’t even sure how I managed to not choke on the never-ending stream he unleashed down my throat.

He was still panting like he’d run a marathon when I stood. I wiped my mouth and grinned. “Thank you for the lipstick.”

Merrick chuckled and shook his head. “I’ll buy you the entire cosmetics store if just a lipstick makes you that happy.”

I smiled. “It’s not the lipstick. It’s… Well, where did you get it?”

“I stopped at the store the other day when I was running errands for my grandmother.”

“How did you know what color to ask for?”

“I didn’t. I went to the counter and told the lady I was looking for a color that looks like the stain cherries would make. I had no idea there was one called Cherry Stained.”

I smiled. “I didn’t either. But that’s my point. It’s not the lipstick. It’s that you were thinking of me and went to the store to do that.”

Merrick pulled up his pants. “Well, I’m glad my perverted thoughts make you happy because I’ve got plenty of them.”

I pushed up on my toes and kissed his lips chastely. “I have to get dressed.”

“What? No. You can’t do that and not let me take care of you.”

“That’s sweet. But…” I looked at my watch. “You have an appointment in five minutes, and I have a session in a little while, and I still need to do some things before that.”

Merrick’s bottom lip jutted out. “I don’t like this.”

I grabbed my panties and bra and started to get dressed. “Oh? You don’t like coming into your apartment to a naked woman and getting a quickie blowjob? I’ll have to remember that.”

“Wiseass.” He wrapped a hand around my waist and tugged me to him. “Can I see you tonight?”

“Can I get back to you? I might have plans.”

He frowned.

I smiled. “Relax. It’s with your friend the real estate agent. I’m looking at apartments.”

“Oh. What time?”

I buttoned my blouse. “What time will I be done?”

“No, what time are you going? I’ll try to get out of the office early.”

I stopped buttoning. “You want to go with me to see apartments?”

He shrugged. “Can I convince you to skip that appointment and come up here and let me fuck you all night instead?”

I shook my head. “I need to get out of my sister’s place.”

Merrick shrugged again. “Then what choice do I have?”
