Derek
Thanks to the mounting tension of disappointed expectations and the second bottle of tequila, the dinner had taken a turn for the worse. Bethenny and Ed thoughtfully ushered off the dean of medicine and her wife to safer territory while the Stantons circled each other like sharks.
Well, three of the four of them did. Emily, the underwear-less genius, sat sphinx-like in the midst, soaking up her family’s bad behavior. When voices raised over Byron’s tryst with a professional tennis champion, Emily folded her napkin neatly over her untouched veal and turned to me.
“Derek, would you like to dance?”
I’d itched to touch her all night. So much temptation tonight. A man could only hold out for so long.
I wasn’t one to turn my back on opportunities. Opportunities opened doors. Opportunities changed lives.
“I’d be delighted.” That was a lie. There was nothing delightful, or even reasonably socially acceptable, regarding my feelings toward her. I wanted to tear her dress from her. To shove my hands into her hair, raining down pins. I wanted to destroy every wall she’d ever built until there was nothing between us. I wanted to watch her come. Watch her let go. Be human. I wanted her to let me possess her.
She didn’t have a clue about the dirty, annihilating thoughts I was having as she slipped her hand trustingly into mine. She led the way to the dance floor, and I was content to follow.
There were other couples swaying to the orchestra. Moving in time. Appropriate and sedate. And I had a raging beast under my skin.
I stopped her in the middle of the floor and pulled her into me with a restrained violence. Need had stripped me of my manners. My propriety.
Her breath caught in her throat, and I savored that small noise.
I needed to remember my place. I wasn’t here to ravage my client, lovely and irresistible as she was.
“What’s going through that mind of yours?” Emily asked, placing a hand on my chest. Oh, so proper. I could feel the years of etiquette and dance lessons in that delicate, restraining motion.
“Darling, I don’t think you really want to know.”
Her nostrils flared delicately like a doe scenting danger. “I think I really do,” she said quietly.
She wasn’t soft or pliable. Emily Stanton was a challenge. A razor-edged, high-walled challenge. And there wasn’t anything in this life that I enjoyed more.
“I’m thinking about tearing these to shreds,” I said, running a hand up her back, across her flesh, to finger the off-the-shoulder strap draped over her arm. “Then chasing you into some dark corner and watching your dress fall off those perfect breasts.”
Her eyes narrowed, the glassy blue-gray of them sparkling at me from under her thick lashes. Her lips parted a fraction of an inch, and I could envision them, pearly pink and plump, wrapped around the head of my cock.
I hardened at the speed of light. And I knew if she didn’t let me into her bed tonight, I’d end up breaking my rule and spend an hour in the shower jerking off to every fantasy I’d crafted around Ms.
