(Consequences—Chapter 8)
“Thank you, Tony,”
she replied. “This has been an amazing night. How can I ever thank you?”
He pulled her close, feeling the pressure of her breasts
against his chest. Turning off the riding lights, he smiled a devilish grin. “I
have
a few ideas.”
a few ideas.”
Claire’s glance darted toward the dark glass partition
separating the back from the front of the car.
Tony laughed. “I promise we’re alone; Eric can’t see or
hear us.” He leaned toward her.
She instinctively reached for his neck and settled onto the long leather seat. As he hovered mere inches above, he watched her cheeks
flush, and his erection came to life. Over the past few months, Claire had learned to respond to Tony’s commands—both verbal
and none. There‘d been times when she’d hesitated. It was on those occasions that she earned the punishment she deserved. Turning his
tone more serious, he raised a brow and demanded, “Now, show me that you’ve followed my rules. I want to see.”

Claire’s immediate response fortified the pride of his
accomplishment. She maintained their gaze as her small hand fumbled for the
hem of her dress. “I can’t reach—”
hem of her dress. “I can’t reach—”
Tony wouldn’t let her finish—he couldn’t. He needed to
taste her. Entwining his fingers in her loose ringlets of hair, he tilted her
lips
upward and heard a small moan before his mouth seized hers. Unable to soften his approach, he took what was his. It wasn’t
enough—he wanted more. When his tongue probed, her lips parted allowing him to enter her warmth. Tony savored her sweetness
as her arms once again encircled his neck. With his other hand, he reached for the hem of her dress and the cabin filled with her whimpers
of anticipation.

He slowly lifted the beaded material and teasingly
brushed her inner thigh. “Open your legs for me,” he commanded.
She obeyed and he continued to caress her soft skin. When
her breathing labored and he neared his destination, Tony stopped.
Releasing her hair, he sat up and gazed down at her blushed cheeks, smudged lipstick, and nearly exposed body. Grinning,
he murmured, “You were amazing tonight.”

Softly, she replied, “Thank you.”
Leaning back, he reminded her. “But the night isn’t

Slowly reaching for the length of material, Claire kept
her eyes fixed on his. As the material rose, she replied, “I promise, Tony,

He couldn’t help but think how beautiful she
looked—offering herself to him. That, combined with the sound of her calling
him by his
personal name, was enough to release the painful tightness in his slacks. It seemed unreal that he could be on the verge of
exploding, and she’d yet to touch him. Surprisingly, at that moment, that wasn’t what he wanted. He yearned for something else,
and they both knew his desires came first.
