The kiss he gave her was tender, unexpected. So completely different from anything he had shown her tonight. Her thoughts turned off as she was inundated by his touch. An insidious weakness invaded her system. Her eyes closed and her body trembled as she felt light sips taken from her mouth. His lips moved to her cheek, up to her forehead, and then to her ear.

 

Her breathing fractured. Her hands slowly released their grip on the duvet, and moved to curl around his head.

 

Robert knew the moment she gave in to him, and blood rushed to his groin, hardening him again fully. His eyes opened, and his mouth moved down to her breasts. She was still lusciously tangled up in her lacy bra, and a streak of pure, unadulterated lust hit him.

 

He put his head to her breast, and sucked the nipple into his mouth. He stabbed his tongue at her. The sweetness of her body went to his head like a shot of whiskey. He moved his mouth to the soft fullness of her breast and began sucking, intent on marking her. Strong, insistent, he continued to suckle her until she began undulating against him.

 

Never releasing the ambrosia in his mouth, he moved between her thighs and began pushing her legs apart.

 

Renee surfaced from the arousal that gripped her when she felt him pushing into her. She frantically began trying to scoot away from him. She felt a moment of true hysteria when he seized her wrists and lifted them over her head. She opened her eyes and saw the fierce, masculine beauty of his face.

 

His lips were drawn back from his teeth and a drop of sweat slid down his cheekbone. Strength radiated from him. She had to break through his domination. "Stop. Robert. Stop."

 

He showed no sign of hearing her or stopping and Renee began to fight. She pushed her wrists against the hands holding her and tightened her body against him. "Stop. Get a condom. God, Robert, stop." She shouted the last words.

 

Robert surfaced from the haze enough to understand her. Resentment once again ripped through his guts and he was incensed at the need for restraint. He was fully jolted into awareness by her stiff body under him, and her face turned completely away. He ripped himself off of her and stood by the bed.

 

Goddammit!
He had done it again. Felt it again. The need to do her without birth control was elemental. Primal. Stupid. What the fuck was wrong with him? He never had sex without protection. Refused to even think about it. And now here he was, desperate to feel her naked. He wanted to be naked in her, against her.

 

He looked down at her, lying there so helplessly, her hands moving to cover her face. His eyes slid over her body. Dark, purple bruises covered her right breast.

 

He felt a kick to his gut when he saw the damage he had done to her. And why he had done it. He wanted to mark her. Brand her. Screw her without protection. The knowledge should have cooled him down. It didn't. It only provoked him.

 

He turned away and rolled on another condom. She was getting her way again. But not for long.

 

His time would come.

 

****

 

Five weeks slid by.

 

Renee was thrown whirlwind into a pattern that contained a working and sexual relationship. She couldn't fight him on it, because she couldn't fight herself.

 

Her days were spent learning the minutiae of the job Mrs. Argenot was passing on to her. Her nights were mostly spent at Robert's house.

 

The first week had been rocky. Getting him to use a condom was a battle every time. His argument was always that he was clean, she was clean, why use one? He was broodingly silent when she brought up pregnancy, and she had the uneasy feeling he didn't care if she got pregnant or not. Finally, during a heated row about condoms, she found out the reason why. It turned out to be the same simple reason why there were so many unplanned pregnancies in the world.
He didn't want to wear one.
He wanted to feel her flesh against his. It had little to do with the pros and cons of birth control. It was more basic than that. More primal. Animalistic. He hated anything separating them.

 

After a particularly harrowing fight, she went to the doctor and got on the pill. She'd never had trouble with the pill before, and if they were going to be in a relationship, she thought it was for the best. But she hated to bring a relationship or anything long term up with him. So she didn't. She just went on the pill, and when it was safe, she told him.

 

Their relationship improved somewhat from that point. The sex was fantastic, and she could still remember the first moment he'd pushed completely naked into her. That time had been frenetic, crazy, fast.

 

And,
oh God
, it just kept getting better and better.

 

The birth control pill had calmed him, or more aptly, the lack of condoms had calmed him. Not calmed him completely, but just enough to take the edge off. He was more leisurely, and he seemed to enjoy every facet of their lovemaking.

 

He also never brought up her quitting her job again. She didn't think he had forgotten about it, but it wasn't a priority with him anymore. His sexual needs were being met, and the days at the office were on a much more even keel.

 

Until the day James Cameron walked in the office.

 

"Hey there, beautiful." His smile and swagger would surely send some lucky woman into ecstasy someday, but she wasn't that woman.

 

She smiled back. "Hi. How've you been, James?" He approached her desk, leaned down and let his mega-watt smile loose.

 

"Lost without you, sweetheart." He winked at her.

 

"Right. Do those lines actually work?" His smile was infectious, and she grinned back at him.

 

"You'd be surprised, Renee. Although Thibodeaux beat me this time, let's just say I don't usually come in second. In fact, I've got my eye on this little bartender--"

 

A door slammed and Robert walked into the room. Renee looked up and saw a menacing scowl cross his features.

 

He prowled over to them. He slammed a manila folder at James and said, "Here are the docs you need. Get out."

 

James laughed. "Jesus Christ, Thibodeax. How the fuck do you plan on staying in business if you treat every client the way you treat me?"

 

Robert fought to get a grip while James continued to berate him. "You're lucky I'm so goddamn easy-going, or I'd have quit your ass a long time ago. Why don't you marry her so you can curb these murderous tendencies of yours? Maybe then you wouldn't be so fucking scared somebody's going to steal her away from you. Tie her to you, man." James glanced into the folder and nodded his satisfaction with what he saw there. Then he looked at Renee.

 

"Good luck with this one. I'll see ya'll in about six weeks." He turned and left the building.

 

Renee looked at Robert. He was watching her with a stunned look on his face. Finally he spoke. "I ought to fucking do that."

 

Renee's heart got clogged in her throat as she stared at him. She heard a slight cough from the hallway and she and Robert turned in unison to face a smiling Mrs. Argonet who said, "Yes, dear, why don't you fucking marry her? That's why I hired her for you, after all. So much trouble I've gone through finding just the right girl for you. I hope you appreciate all my hard work young man."

 

Robert's face slowly turned from frustrated to satisfied. He slowly smiled as he answered his long-time secretary. "Yes, ma'am, I do."

 

 

 

Epilogue

 

Three weeks later, Renee and Robert were lounging on his couch, his arms around her. His fingers entwined with hers, and he slid the wedding band and two-carat solitaire around on her finger.

 

His voice was husky when he spoke. "I still can't believe she could have been that scheming."

 

Renee laughed. "She loves you Robert. You're like a son to her and she's been taking care of you a long time."

 

"Yeah, I know, but to plot against me like that in my own office--"

 

She turned in his arms. "Plot against you?" Renee's voice was soft and slid through his bloodstream in a calming rhythm. "She was plotting
for
you. Hasn't it all worked out? Don't you like me taking care of you at home and at the office?"

 

"Yeah, I like it." Satisfaction laced his voice and his arms tightened. "I like it a lot."

 

She smiled the smile that calmed his soul. "That's good because I'm passed my ninety days. I won." Her voice carried humor and happiness. "You can't fire me now."

 

"Never in a million years. I love you, baby."

 

She let out a small, satisfied sigh, "I love you, too."

by
Lynda Chance

Can she escape Richard's control before it's too late? Or will her time in the city become the life she's always dreamed of?

 

Excerpt from Seduced by the American Millionaire:

 

Jenny stepped back as Richard crowded her space. He glanced away from her face. He looked around the room. "Nice place."

 

"Thanks." She continued her retreat as he advanced on her farther. She stopped when her back hit the wall. She stared at him in fascination as he lifted her hand to his mouth. He held it tightly and turned it over and put his lips gently on her palm. Her heartbeat went into overdrive. He looked into her eyes. He picked up her other hand and pulled her arms out to her sides. He looked her up and down.

 

"Nice." She tensed at the growled word. He pushed her hands up on either side of her head and held them there while he continued to look her up and down. She hung against the wall, stunned at his actions. He lowered his head and claimed her lips with his. His tongue pushed into her as he plundered her mouth. Jenny lost all sense of time as his belt bit into her torso and his erection pushed against her stomach. He ripped his mouth from hers and moved to her ear. One of her hands was freed as he grabbed her hair. "Do they match?"

 

Jenny moaned as his breath filled her ear. She was more excited than she had ever been in her life. She thought he said something, but couldn't get her brain to function.

 

"Jenny. Do they match?" He pulled her face up by her hair. It should have hurt. It didn't. She looked at him with glazed eyes.

 

"Mm . . . wh-what?" She knew he was asking her something.

 

"Do. They. Match. Your panties. Are they green? Do you have green silk covering your pussy?"
