“And that makes you not able to sleep?” he asked.
“I don’t know how to feel this happy,” I answered, and his fingers around my ankle tightened.
Then he let me go, got to his feet, but did it bending over to pluck me out of the chair. He turned, sat in it and arranged me in his lap.
“Ren, it’s okay. I’ll be—”
His arms around me gave me a deep squeeze and his voice was thick when he said, “I want you this happy for the rest of your life.”
Oh God.
Again with the melty!
I lifted a hand to his jaw, but tucked my forehead into the side of his neck.
“You willin’ to work on that with me, Ally?” he asked.
“Absolutely,” I answered.
“Good, baby,” he whispered.
He held me close.
I slid my hand from his jaw to press it against his heart and lay in his arms, feeling it beat.
After some time, Ren spoke.
“My girl, she feels deep.”
He was not wrong.
I said nothing.
He gathered me closer. “So fuckin’ deep.”
I pressed my forehead into his neck.
We again lapsed into contented silence.
It was me who broke it the second time.
“I wondered what it would be like, when the Rock Chicks and Hot Bunch settled in and the drama stopped.”
“And what’s it like?” he asked.
“Sheer beauty,” I answered.
His arms got tighter again and his lips growled, “Mouth, Ally.”
I pulled my forehead out of his neck and tipped my head back.
Ren took my mouth.
Then he took me on his living room rug.
After, he carried me up to his bed, leaving my nightie, panties and his pajama bottoms on the living room floor.
When we got there, neither of us had trouble falling asleep.
And we slept tangled up.
Maximum contact.
Sheer beauty.
Chapter Twenty-One
The Majestic
The next morning, breathing heavily as I jogged up Ren’s front steps after my run, I shoved my key in his lock and pushed open the door.
I used my wristband to wipe away the sweat from my brow as I huffed to the kitchen. Once there, I went direct to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.
Closing the fridge and turning, I caught Ren sauntering in wearing a suit.
Excellent timing.
He saw me and stopped dead.
“Hey, babe,” I semi-panted.
His eyes slid down and up my sweaty body in my awesome Lucy running threads that the gang did a great job picking for me, and I knew they did a great job because I watched his eyes get hot.
I twisted off the cap of the bottle of water and grinned at him.
He came unstuck and moved to me. I thought goodness would commence, but he reached beyond me to open the fridge.
I stepped to the side, leaned against the counter and belted back some agua.
“How was the run?” he asked before he took a slug of orange juice, and I noted that Amalea was a good mom who raised a good son who cooked, did the dishes and was thoughtful, but she hadn’t taught him not to drink out of the bottle.
Whatever.
“Run was great,” I answered (lying; it was good, but that didn’t mean it was fun—what was great was that it was over).
He put the orange juice back and focused his attention on me.
“You comin’ to the office after your shower?” he asked.
I nodded.
We’d made plans before I went out to run that I’d come in that morning and look at the space he rented me.
“Good,” he muttered, moving to the coffee.
“We didn’t have breakfast so I’ll bring Danish.” I changed my mind. “No, LaMar’s.”
“Whatever you want,” he said, turning toward me.
I moved into him, leaned up and kissed his jaw before I moved away, saying, “I’m just gonna shower and then—”
I got turned and only a step in before an arm hooked around my belly. I was pulled back, pressed forward and ended facing where I usually sat on the counter eating the breakfast Ren cooked me.
Arm still around my belly, his other thumb hooked into my running capris and yanked down.
Holy crap.
My inner thighs quivered.
“Ren,” I breathed.
“Hands to the counter. Spread your legs. Tip for me.”
Oh God.
Hot.
I did as I was told. Ren’s arm at my belly slid down and his fingers curled in as his other hand slid up my chest to wrap around my jaw.
His fingers hit the spot. My head flew back and hit his shoulder.
His hand at my jaw kept it there as he buried his face in my neck.
His fingers between my legs coaxed orgasm one out of me (nice).
While I was still experiencing that, his hand at my jaw moved to between my shoulders as I heard his zipper. He pressed in, I bent, my ass moving back and up, and he slammed inside me, hard, fast, rough, doing this until orgasm two rocked through me (very nice).
He barely finished driving into me through his orgasm before he pulled out and crouched low, dragging my workout capris the rest of the way down my legs in a way that I could not misinterpret.
I did as he wanted and stepped out of them.
Ren turned me and, hands at my waist, he lifted me and planted my bare ass on his counter, moving in so my legs were forced to part, his arms closed around me and we were tucked close.
“Just sayin’,” he started when he caught my eyes, and my happy place did a happy spasm at the heat still in his eyes, “you need a fuckuva lot more of these outfits.”
Told you I totally rocked my running duds.
“Copy that,” I whispered, scratching that on my already very full agenda for the day.
His eyes moved over my face and hair. “Your hair looks cute in that band, honey.”
Yep. Going to Lucy for more running gear was going to happen post-new office inspection and pre-meet with Darius and Brody to see what they had on the situation with Smithie.
Maybe I could get Darius and Brody to meet me at Lucy. It was an outside chance that Darius was such a badass, his skin might catch fire if he entered a woman’s clothing store without a woman he was fucking in attendance, but he loved me. Maybe he loved me enough to take that risk and help me multi-task.
We’d see.
It was then I noticed Ren’s hot eyes had gotten hotter just before his mouth moved to mine. “Been waitin’ a year to have that ass bared and sittin’ on my counter.”
Yowza!
A different kind of melty.
“Now I gotta go to work. Kiss me, Ally,” he finished.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, leaned in and kissed him.
Ren kissed me back, deep and wet. He broke the kiss, moved away and gave me a hot sexy grin as he let me go, but slid one finger over my bare hip, in and along at the inside juncture of hip and thigh then down my inner thigh.
Another happy place spasm.
I grinned at him.
He leaned in for a touch on the lips, turned and walked away.
I watched.
Still grinning.
As I walked down the hall toward Ren’s office, I did it smiling.
This was because I’d never been to his office and if the inside of the building was anything to go by, his space, as well as my space, was going to be the bomb.
Holding a carrier with two of Tex’s coffees in one hand and a bag of LaMar’s in the other, I turned left at the tall, wood door with the burnished silver plaque at the side that said Zano Holdings Ltd. and juggled the bag as I pushed the fancy handle down.
I was curious to see where Ren spent his days. But as I walked in, I didn’t look around his office.
I looked at the woman behind his reception desk.
Dawn was sitting there.
Dawn.
Dawn, Lee’s ex-receptionist.
Dawn, who I hated because she hated me (and everybody, except Lee and his boys; until they were picked off by the Rock Chicks that was).
Dawn, who got fired because she got caught on in-house surveillance badmouthing Jules while she was in the hospital after she got shot. Lee lost his mind, Luke lost his mind, and they dropped what they were doing in order not to delay in returning to the office and terminating her.
Dawn, who, until that moment, I was certain had crawled into the dark, damp, inhospitable holes beautiful but exceedingly bitchy women retreated to when they got their asses whupped (even figuratively).
Dawn, who was not hiding away in an inhospitable hole but instead sitting in Ren’s offices, glaring at me.
“What the hell?” I whispered.
“I heard you had a thing with Ren,” she snapped, totally still bitchy.
“What the hell?” I repeated, louder this time.
“I prayed it wasn’t true, but apparently God doesn’t listen to me,” she went on.
“What the hell!” I shouted.
“The only thing I can say is, I still have hope for Dom because everyone knows he has a wandering eye,” she kept at it.
“What the hell?” I screeched.
“Ally, Jesus, what’s the matter?” Ren asked, exiting a hall to my side.
For once, his powerful frame in trousers and a dress shirt did nothing for me.
“Dawn works for you,” I snapped, and it came out an accusation, as it should.
He didn’t glance at Dawn as he headed to me, but his face said a lot and all of what it said made me feel better.
Slightly.
In other words, he didn’t like her.
He got close to me, took the carrier of coffee then took my hand and spared Dawn a glance to order, “Hold my calls.”
