Kinky Bet (13 page)
He looked up to the ceiling, wondering how he was going to convince her he wasn’t the loony she thought he was.
“It’s hard to explain, but when I saw you at Club Fetish, I was intrigued.” She turned her head back to look at him, her beautiful pale eyes wary. “I wanted to meet you, and then, of course you refused. After that first time, I thought ‘fair enough’, I’d leave it and move on, but every time I’d hear you on the radio, I knew that I wouldn’t have any peace until I met you. Then you threw my offers back in my face, and that got me really curious. I had to find out more about this woman who managed to repeatedly outwit me. I love a good mystery, and believe me, you are a mystery. And I really, really hate to lose.”
Now that wary look in her eyes turned to annoyance. “So this is all just a game to you. You want to dominate me. You get enjoyment out of playing with peoples’ lives, do you?”
Fuck. That went well. With every word of his bungled explanation, he fell deeper and deeper in shit. He didn’t know what it was about this woman that made him want her to understand where he was coming from. Usually he saw no need for explanations. He never explained. He just
did
.
Backing her up against the wall of the elevator, he placed both his hands on the mirror tiles either side of her head. “Does this feel like a game to you?”
Elise’s eyes widened and her mouth opened in protest as he kissed her again. He devoured her mouth as both their bodies reacted to the magnetic chemistry between them. He was positive to her negative, and they were powerless to break the field. Jeezus, this woman made him hot. The soft sighing sound she made in her throat, and the amazing smell of her satiny skin had his whole body igniting. He didn’t know what was happening here, but by God, he wasn’t letting her get away from him now He slipped his hands under the hem of her shirt
and skimmed across her satiny skin. He felt her shiver in response. He smiled against her mouth, revelling in her body’s response to his touch. When her hands crept up around his neck, her breasts flattened hard against his chest, and he could feel her nipples budding. Slipping one hand inside her jeans, he found her panties and dipped inside her crotch, finding her more than a little damp. Oh God, she was responsive. His other hand skimmed over her lacy bra to lightly cup her breast. Her nipple elongated under his touch, begging him to squeeze it. She gasped into his mouth and his erection pressed painfully against his jeans.
The doors to the elevator opened and he stealthily removed his hands, but the kiss continued, their breathing getting more and more ragged as the minutes ticked by. The sound of discreet coughing finally broke through the trance he was in, and he slowly released her lips. He couldn’t help smiling at her passion-dazed eyes when he released her. The hungry look was enough to give him hope that there was a chance they would get to have the best sex of their lives. He had no doubt at all that’s how it would be when they eventually came together. She was going to be a challenge to dominate, but he had a feeling she’d be worth it.
The sound of a mobile phone chiming out the Wagner theme to ‘Apocalypse Now’ broke the tension. Elise continued to look at him is a daze for a few more seconds, then reached for her phone, flipping it open. Without breaking eye contact, she spoke. “Elise Blake.” She pushed the button for the studio floor and sunk back against the wall. “Sure, fine. I’ll be there in a minute.” She turned away from him for a few seconds. “Okay. I understand.”
Snapping the phone back in place, she lowered her eyes, now avoiding eye contact of any kind. “I have to get back to work. What time and place do we meet for dinner?”
The elevator door closed, leaving several potential passengers outside and cursing. Mitch stood completely still, stunned. This was too easy. Something wasn’t right here, but he wasn’t going to worry about that right now. Not when she was agreeing to meet him. He’d work it out later. “Eight o’clock. Tetsuya’s”
.
She looked up, her eyes narrowed. “Tetsuya’s? You have to book six months in advance to get a table there.”
He smiled at her. “I have a regular table. You want me to pick you up?”“
“No, that’s fine,” she said as she pressed on the button for the door. “I know where it is. I’ll meet you there. If that’s all, I have a job to get back to.”
The temperature in the elevator dropped twenty degrees in less than a minute. This was not good. He was going to have his work cut out for him to repair whatever damage that mysterious phone call had made. “No worries. Tell Davo I’ll drop the cheque off in the morning.”
“That won’t be necessary. You can bring it along tonight. Why come back tomorrow when we can finish this business tonight?”
As the door slid open, Elise moved to walk out, but Mitch touched her arm, stopping her. “It won’t be finished after tonight and you know it.”
“If you say so.” She pulled her arm back, turned away from him and walked calmly away.
The door closed, and he pressed the button for the lobby. The game was far from over. He might have the date, but she sure as hell wasn’t acting like she was conceding defeat. Time to regroup for the next battle.
