Page 148 of His Flash Mate
“But I get to tell you what I want.”I touched my neck.“You can kiss me here.”
He moved too fast to track and had me on his bed a second later, his mouth on my skin, suckling and warming it.Sighing in pleasure, I toyed with the hair on the back of his neck.
“A little lower, please,” I said.
He growled and did as I asked.I was about to demand a kiss on my mouth when I felt his hand on the waistband of my slacks.I caught his wrist.
“You don’t have a door, Konni.”
“I do.It’s closed.”
“Not good enough,” I said.
“I’ll make it quick.”
“Well, that sounds disappointing.”
He groaned and rested his forehead on my chest.
“If I can’t taste you, at least tell me who upset you?”
“The only person in Steele Corp who took an instant dislike to me because someone was pulling strings he shouldn’t have pulled.”
He lifted his head and gave me a pleading look.“Tell me what to do to make up for it?You want me to fire her?Done.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.You can’t fire people just because I don’t like them.”But inside, I was elated and in a much better mood.
“Now get up so I can eat my breakfast while it’s still warm and do something useful before I steal your bathroom to get ready.”
He rolled off of me and lay there like he was dead.He wasn’t.I took his pulse by palming the bulge in his pants.
His pained groan echoed behind me as I dodged his grab and sprang off the bed.
“Behave while we’re at work,” I called over my shoulder as I left.
Marius caught my gaze as I returned to my seat and winked at me.Then he sent me a private message.
M:Might want to cover that hickie if you’re still keeping things low-key.
Flushing scarlet, I used my compact to subdue the red mark.
The subtle camouflage wasn’t needed, though.No one interrupted me for the next three hours as I coordinated the finishing touches with the design team on the 3D renderings I’d promised Mr.Pennly.Once they were complete, I sent them to Konni for approval.
He was watching the doorway when I walked in.
“I like how you manipulated the lighting to highlight the better quality fixtures.”
I grinned.“It was only my idea.The design team executed it.Any changes before I send them?”
“No.When you send the email, let him know that we can do another market analysis on the updated designs for forty thousand.”
“Why so much more?Wasn’t the original analysis ten thousand?”
“It was.The increase is to stop this from happening a third time and to remind them that they came to us for our expertise, which isn’t cheap.”
“All right.As soon as I send it out, do you mind if I…” I pointed to his bathroom.
He nodded, his eyes glittering slightly.
