Wrong (Breaking the Rules) (15 page)

I grasped on to his hair and guided him back down to where I wanted him. His laughter died as he licked me again, this time harder. Done with his teasing, he began an erratic pattern of licking and sucking. Whenever I would pull his hair hard, he would in turn suck my clit into his mouth, bringing me closer to orgasm each time. My body bucked against him with every suck. When a finger entered me as he sucked me hard, my orgasm hit me with such force that I nearly tore my calf muscles as my toes curled into the strangest directions.

Withdrawing his finger, he shifted away and looked at me with such a delicious combination of lust and admiration.

“I need you inside of me, Jordan. Don’t make me wait any longer.”

Not needing anymore begging, he hovered himself above me and pushed his cock up against my wet entrance. Wrapping my legs around his back near his ass, I used my heels to force him into me.

“Oh God. You feel so fucking good.” He began rocking as he stared down at me, eyes ablaze with desire.

“Kiss me,” I whispered.

For as quick as his thrusts were, his kiss was soft and gentle. I could taste my own unique flavor in his kiss. He sucked on my bottom lip, and I could feel another orgasm trickling through me, just out of reach.

Reaching around to his back, he grabbed my ankles and pulled them up over his shoulders. From this position, I could feel his cock dragging over my g-spot. Shuddering with delight, I allowed my orgasm to pour through my body like a rush of molten lava. My body clenched around him, and his own release fired into me.

He slipped himself out and crawled up next to me, draping his big muscular arm across my breasts. The events of the day quickly caught up to us, and within minutes, we were asleep.

My angel woke up this morning in a mood. She was acting like the hardass she could sometimes be. She’d already taken care of canceling her cards and had also already made an appointment to change the locks to the apartment. Not having her phone seemed to piss her off the most. By the time I got out of the shower, she’d taken care of everything she’d needed to do as a result of the theft.

I was putting back on my clothes from the day before when she walked in with two coffees, handing me one.

“All of my credit cards have been canceled and thankfully there hasn’t been any activity on any of them. I’m pretty sure all I had in my purse was eighteen dollars. It’s all a fucking waste of my time.” This morning she’d already been showered and dressed for work by the time my phone alarm had gone off. I could take a hint.

“Well, that is at least good news. Come on. I’ll drop you off at work on the way to my apartment.” I chugged what I could of the hot coffee before setting it down on the bedside table. She looked around for what I was sure was her purse before she sighed in defeat and left the bedroom.

Shaking my head, I followed her out of the room. I wasn’t sure what had happened between our tender lovemaking the night before and the frigidness that rolled off of her this morning. My guess was that she was having trouble dealing with the events from the night before and unintentionally taking it out on me.

The ride to the museum was quiet. She wouldn’t even look at me or hold my hand. It was torture for me because I wanted nothing more than to lace her fingers with mine and hold them in my lap. Her hands were neatly clasped together, resting on her thigh closest to the door. Again, I could take a hint.

As we came to a stop in front of the museum, she started to jump out of the car, but I seized her by her upper arm and pulled her to me. Her head angrily whipped towards me, but her gaze softened slightly as she looked at me.

“Email me later. We’ll make plans for dinner or something,” I told her and hauled her forward by her arm so I could kiss her.

At first, her lips were unmoving as she tried not to reciprocate. But when my tongue skated across her bottom lip, I heard her breath hitch. Her mouth parted slightly to let me in, allowing a small moan to escape. Not one to miss an opportunity, I kissed her hard and our tongues greedily touched one another’s. I reached a hand around to the back of her neck while I simultaneously brought her closer and stroked her jaw with my thumb.

“Jordan,” she sighed into my mouth as she pulled herself away. I let her draw away from me but didn’t remove my hand.

“Email me,” I commanded to her again. She nodded and I dropped my hand. As if to escape a magnetic pull to me, she practically leapt from the car and hurried into the building.

“Hi, Mr. Cox, I’m Jordan Compton from Compton Enterprises. Did Trent fill you in on the situation I’m in?”

I’d finally made my way into the office after a quick change of clothes at my apartment. Now it was time to get an appointment with the fraud examiner set up.

“Ah, yes. Mr. Sutton had only the most respectable things to say about you. I hear that you have your suspicions about some illegal activity that has gone on without your knowledge, which is having an effect on your company.”

“That’s exactly it. I’m not sure of all of the legal ramifications if indeed there was fraud going on, but I know playing dumb will only hurt us further. It is my responsibility as CEO to run this company in a legal, professional manner. That is why I seek your help, Mr. Cox. I need you to help me figure out how we can fix this without ruining everything.” At this point, I was ready to uncover every last bit of any illegal activity and proceed accordingly.

“Mr. Compton, I assure you we will sort through this. If you were to turn a blind eye to all of this, it could haunt you later on down the road. At that point, you could be held legally responsible. Currently, I believe that, whatever we find, we can prove that it was without your knowledge and prior to your leadership. My schedule is free and I would be willing to take you on as a client. You can pay me a monthly retainer until the job is finished. My fee is $5,000 a month, and I can assure you that is more than a fair price. If that sounds acceptable, I can start tomorrow morning.”

Actually, that was much cheaper than I’d expected, so it was decided without hesitation on my part.

“Thank you, Mr. Cox. That price is perfect. We’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Mr. Compton, I need you and your brother to keep this under wraps. Anyone besides your father who was involved will need to be exposed as well. If they know you’re sniffing around, it would allow them to better cover their tracks. Just keep my involvement discreet. Call a meeting with the other party that is requesting the debt resolution. I’ll have a list of questions for you to try and work into conversation. This will help as I attempt to uncover the truth. Again, Mr. Compton, utmost discretion.”

“Thank you, Mr. Cox. I will advise Jackson as well. See you tomorrow.”

After hanging up the phone, I checked my emails and smiled at seeing that there was one from Pepper.

Jordan,

I miss Andi. Since I still don’t have anything to wear for the gala on Thursday, we’ve decided to have dinner and go shopping. I need a new purse anyway. I’d say call me later but I don’t have a phone. Want to meet for lunch tomorrow?

Pepper

I could tell when I was being avoided. Pepper was withdrawing from me and it fucking sucked. Clearly she needed some space, and even though I was unhappy about it, I would give it to her.

Pepper,

Lunch is fine. I equally miss my brother.

Jordan

Rising from my chair, I walked over to Jackson’s office. Bray was at Andi’s desk, discussing one of his clients with her. From the sound of it, he was trying to talk her into going with him to meet a new client and she was looking for any excuse not to. Walking into Jackson’s office, I closed the door behind me.

“Jackie!” I greeted, striding over to his desk and sinking into one of his guest chairs.

“What’s up, Jordie? Hear anything from Mr. Cox?” he asked.

“Yeah. Actually he’s coming in tomorrow. He wants us to keep a lid on his involvement in an effort to uncover any leads to other guilty parties that were a part of it. We already know Nadia’s been signing the checks going into my trust. If we want to discover her participation, then we need to keep it quiet. I’m going call Lou shortly and see about meeting with him tomorrow. If Mr. Cox is going to properly help us, I need to stall for more time. I’m not willing to spend another fucking dime ‘til we get to the bottom of this. I just have to tread lightly so I don’t piss Lou off.”

“Okay. I can keep quiet. Andi’s going shopping with Pepper tonight. You want to hit the gym after work?”

“Let’s do it.”
