Holding her Tight Read online

  “You’ll kiss me today,” Quinn affirmed with barely a whisper.

  The elevator stopped, Daniel opened his eyes and before they were even out of that metal box, Quinn saw a smile at the corner of his mouth.

  Even though it was Saturday, the office was packed. Everywhere she walked, people said hello and threw smiles in her direction. That’s when she realized they didn’t know what had happened the night before. She sighed with relief. It would have been very uncomfortable if her co-workers were worried about her. She wouldn’t hear the end of it.

  Another thing she noticed while walking beside Daniel, basically glued to his hip, was that every woman who turned in their direction, undressed him with her eyes. She stole a look at Daniel but it was as though he didn’t care or notice.

  “This is me,” Quinn said when they stood in front of a large office with transparent glass walls. “You can sit there.” She pointed to the comfortable chairs in front of her office. “You can watch me from here, right?” She noticed him evaluating every inch of the place, but his eyes always came back to her office. “I’m a senior partner at the firm,” Quinn revealed, letting her pride show in her voice.

  “That’s why you work so hard,” he said as though he understood. His eyes went to the chair again. “This will be fine.”

  She was glad, because even though it was going to be difficult to work under his gaze, working with him beside her would’ve been torture. Before she could enter her office and began her work, she had to do something about the looks the women still threw at Daniel.

  However, Daniel must have misread the worried look on her face and she felt his hand on her cheek. “Hey, it’s going to be okay. I’ll be here if you need me.”

  Quinn nodded, rested a hand on his chest and leaned forward to brush his lips delicately. Daniel seemed surprised, but not as much as the women who returned to their work.

  It was calm in the first hour since she only made a few calls, but when one of her clients basically barged into her office and started yelling at her, she saw Daniel stand up, clearly ready to take care of the situation. Quinn waved in his direction, letting him know it was fine.

  Quinn was used to it. Being a lawyer wasn’t easy. She met all kinds of people in her line of work, especially criminals who always claimed to be innocent. The man yelling at her at that moment was a father whose daughter had been raped. The case wasn’t getting the response he wanted, so naturally she took the hit. After calming him down and resolving the issue, Quinn took a deep breath.

  “Are you okay?” Daniel asked from the door.

  “I wish you would stop asking me that,” she said, too tired to even get angry. She wasn’t too tired, however, to get scared. The moment she opened an e-mail and began to read it, her blood rushed to her head.

  Daniel sensed something was wrong, because he was already by her side. He read the threatening e-mail and said, “We’re leaving. Get your stuff.” Quinn was so lost on the words that involved death, will try again, you’re dead, to even listen to what was happening around her. “Now, Quinn!”

  When her gaze met Daniel’s, he already held her purse and coat in his hands. All she had to do was to get up and go with him. It was difficult, however. Why was this happening to her? Before she could even process Daniel’s movements, he grabbed her arm and pushed her out of the chair. Then, like a real bodyguard, he took her to safety.

  *****

  Daniel knew Quinn was in shock. Her eyes didn’t focus on anything in particular, and she seemed lost and scared. He just wanted to hold her tight, but he was driving, taking her to safety. She still hadn’t said anything when he parked the car, opened her door and walked them to his apartment.

  It frightened him when she went straight to his room. He followed her, wanting to know if she was okay. Quinn lay on his bed and closed her eyes. It was still early, the sun streamed from the window as the clock didn’t mark six o’clock yet. Letting her rest, he closed the windows before he left the room. Daniel wanted to stay with her, hold her, say words of reassurance, but she hadn’t asked him to stay. He knew she would ask for his reassurance, just like the last time, but now, he knew, she wanted to be alone.

  When the clock marked nine o’clock, Daniel went to stand by the living room window. He loved to stare at the people that passed down the street, loved the way the moon shone and enveloped the dark room.

  Daniel wasn’t easily surprised because he was always aware of his surroundings, but Quinn surprised him.

  “I can’t sleep,” she whispered through the darkness of the living room. The only light came from the moon.

  Daniel’s heart jumped when he heard her voice. He wasn’t prepared for it, especially since he hadn’t heard her steps. When he turned and saw her standing there beside the couch, with the same clothes she wore the day before he took a deep breath. She had changed to his red shirt, and as before, her bra was gone. He could see every curve of her breasts. If that wasn’t enough, she wore only black panties, her endless legs tantalizing him. He couldn’t help the erection that began to form inside his jeans.

  *****

  Quinn wanted him, desperately.

  The way he watched her now, with a hungry, wild expression, told her he wanted her as well. Quinn knew she had lost it that afternoon, the words still haunted her mind, but what she needed was a distraction. And Daniel provided enough of that. He made her forget all her problems, even when a homicidal manic was after her.

  Daniel was sweet, gentle and mesmerizing. Just looking at him made her feel hypnotized with his presence. His body enchanted her. All she wanted was his hands on her body, making her feel things that no other man had ever made her feel. She knew he would be amazing, he already was. And now, she was standing there almost naked in front of him as if demanding satisfaction.

  The temperature of the living room grew hotter, boiling her blood, preparing her for what was coming. Her panties already felt drenched, her juices pooling desperately, getting her ready for penetration and wild passion. Quinn saw the changes in him also. His breathing became erratic, the same as hers. Her gaze dropped to his waist where she stared at his swollen erection, outlined in his jeans.

  The moment she wetted her lips while staring at him, Daniel moved. With large steps he came to her, wrapped his arms around her so powerfully that a gasp escaped her lips. He crushed their bodies together, trapping his erection to her lower stomach, which felt amazing. She could feel how big and thick he was.

  He hissed from the pressure while one hand raised to her neck. “This is a dangerous game you’re playing,” he murmured, breathless.

  Quinn’s hand also found his cheek. “No game. I just want you.”

  His hold on her was bruising and still didn’t feel close enough. “Not as much as I need you.”

  Quinn couldn’t bear it any longer, and leaned in, but Daniel was the one who crushed their lips together. It was long overdue. Their bodies sought skin-to-skin contact while they brushed lips.

  Finally a decent kiss, Quinn thought to herself while she opened her mouth a little more to let his tongue touch hers. She moaned at first contact, deepening the kiss that was driving her wild with passion and desire. Daniel’s lips were soft against her, his hands wandered on her body as if trying to touch everywhere at once. Quinn’s knees suddenly went weak, making it impossible to stand.

  Daniel lowered their bodies to the floor, where he laid her on his carpet. He knelt between her thighs, and when his entire weight lowered and rested on her aching core, she moaned. Quinn wanted to kiss him more, but the moment his hand found the hem of the shirt she wore, it was difficult to know what she wanted next. Daniel raised her shirt and her breasts were free, getting the full attention of his hungry eyes.

  Quinn wrapped her legs around his hips, and moved his erection to where she needed him the most while her hands scratched his back. Daniel was lowering his head when a growl sounded deep in his throat. His hands cupped her breasts as his mouth closed around one hard
nipple. The pleasure that hit her was so intense and magical she arched her back and moaned. He assaulted her breasts while slowly moving his hips, giving her so many wonderful sensations that she knew it wouldn’t take much more for her to explode under his care.

  Daniel sucked her nipples, nibbled and scratched them with his teeth. Quinn was soon writhing beneath him while thousands of electric pulses rocked her body. It was all too much but not enough. Without warning, Daniel slid one of his hands between their bodies and slipped down her panties.

  She gave a surprised gasp, then moaned when his fingers touched her clit and rubbed against her opening. “God, you’re so ready for me,” he said with a husky voice while lifting his mouth from her nipple. It sent amazing chills through her body.

  “Daniel,” was all she could say, her voice begging him to give her what she needed.

  Quinn’s hand gripped his neck when Daniel lowered his head once again and began a very sweet assault. His lips sucked and enjoyed her hardened tips while his thumb rubbed her clit.

  “Oh, God,” she gasped, arching her back when she could hardly breathe from the incredible experience.

  Her hips moved beneath him while an orgasm started to take form inside her. It was so good, so consuming that she screamed when her walls tightened and her whole body shuddered. Daniel rubbed a few more times until her breathing subsided. Then, their gazes met and he smiled. Quinn gently touched his impeccable face, ready to kiss him again, but before they did, Daniel’s hand slid from her panties and she saw him taking his own fingers to his mouth.

  It was erotic for Quinn to watch, to see him moaning in pleasure as he tasted her. “You taste amazing, Quinn,” he said, his irises taking a new level of darkness as if he had just tasted his new favorite drug.

  Their mouths met once again, this time it was slower, passionate and sweet. It was a mere brush of lips, enticing her. Their tongues touched and sucked, rising the need in Quinn’s body one more time.

  Daniel stopped the kiss abruptly, as though he couldn’t wait to taste other parts of her. He kissed her jaw, her neck, her chest, down the valley of her breasts and down to her stomach. Without wanting too, Quinn untangled her legs around Daniel’s waist. Then, he went lower, kissing her pelvis and the inside of thighs. With one movement, he slid her panties from her body. She felt shy about being completely naked in front of him.

  Suddenly, all her insecurities were gone when his tongue and lips closed around her throbbing clit that still suffered aftershocks from the previous orgasm. She let out a long, heavy moan. Quinn’s hands tried finding something to hold on to, but the carpet beneath her didn’t help her whatsoever. Daniel’s hair was her next thought, but it was so short she let out a frustrated gasp.

  As if reading her thoughts of desperation, Daniel lifted his hands while sucking her, driving her wild, and found her own. Quinn finally was able to close her eyes and enjoy everything he made her feel. Her hands now wrapped powerfully around Daniel’s, making her insane with need and release. His tongue touched her entrance, sending another wave of sparkles to rock her body under his touch. With two of his fingers, he penetrated her while his tongue and lips hungrily sucked her clit.

  “Yes, yes, yes,” Quinn chanted, moaning, completely lost in his arms.

  Daniel started to rub his fingers inside her, creating a flame ready to explode at any time. She moaned and writhed as her heart pounded against her ribs. In seconds, Quinn was in that place again, ready to reach paradise by Daniel’s lips and fingers. Her walls began to close around his fingers, her breathing so erratic she could hardly breathe, but then he left her. His fingers slid from her core, his mouth disappeared and his touches vanished.

  “God, no. No!” she almost screamed, so frustrated she was ready so punch him.

  She opened her eyes just to do that, to take her revenge, but the moment she did so, Quinn saw Daniel kneeling between her thighs as he desperately unzipped his jeans. The way he was gazing at her, as if he was losing all control, burned her blood while he deepened even more in her heart.

  Quinn saw his fingers trembling as his jeans fell to his hips, and then with one movement, his black boxers slid down his thighs. When his cock sprang free, her breath caught. He was long, thick and ready for her. Her mouth watered, wanting him in her mouth, driving him crazy like he had done to her moments ago. But, gazing back into his eyes, he looked too haunted, so ready to be inside her that she left that thought behind, at least for now.

  Daniel wrapped his hand around his length, bringing the head to touch her now neglected clit. Her body shuddered at first contact while he hissed with need. Daniel rubbed his cock to her core, bringing her back to that point when her orgasm was right around the corner.

  “Daniel,” she said his name, begging him to take the next step.

  She watched him swallow. “I need to grab a condom,” his voice was husky, so haunted and burning with desire that made her almost lose her sanity.

  “I take monthly shots.” It was hard for her to even formulate the words. “I need you inside me, Daniel.”

  Without bothering to take off the jeans and boxers that hung low just above his knees, Daniel lowered his body as Quinn locked her ankles behind his thighs. His weight on top of her was the best thing she could ever ask for. Daniel’s elbows rested on the floor on each side of her breasts, and then they were face-to-face, breathing heavily into each other’s mouths.

  Their noses touched, their lips brushed and tasted while their bodies demanded release. Quinn was the one to slide her hand under their bodies and wrapped her hand around his cock. She pumped twice when he moaned, stopping their kiss. He gazed upon her, giving her a look that said he needed to be inside her.

  Quinn guided him to her aching core, where the head instantly penetrated her. They moaned into each other’s mouths as Quinn dug her fingernails into the small of his back while Daniel’s large, callused hand dropped and grabbed the back of her thigh. Gently he bit her lower lip, watching her with dark eyes.

  “You’re so beautiful, so magnificent, I can’t help but want you,” Daniel whispered.

  Without warning, he buried himself inside her as a scream tore from Quinn’s throat. The pleasure, the pressure, his weight, his presence, everything fell into place. Suddenly, she felt complete for the first time in her life. Daniel tenderly made a path of kisses on her jaw while she adjusted to his size. Quinn’s hips began to move beneath him as she couldn’t wait any longer.

  Daniel began to thrust inside her hard and deep, bringing back the neglected orgasm. Quinn was left screaming from such intense pleasure, rocking her body to a point she knew she would never reach again with any other man. Not that she needed anyone else, after Daniel she didn’t need, want another man.

  Quinn loved when she heard Daniel’s growls deep inside his throat, which revealed he was right there with her, entering a world that she never knew existed. Two more strokes and Quinn arched her back, screaming her release as a nerve-wracking orgasm claimed her. Her body shuddered with pleasure while Daniel moaned as her walls clenched his cock tightly. He could hardly move inside her, but he continued to pump harder, deeper, prolonging a bliss so intense she almost forgot her own name.

  She was beneath a man so incredible and divine that she opened her eyes to see his face. To see him succumb because of her. Quinn didn’t mind how the carpet scratched her back, it only increased her many sensations. And the look on Daniel’s eyes touched the depths of her heart. He moaned in pleasure, the same as she did. Their lips brushed briefly when she began to feel her orgasm turning into another, claiming her so completely that Daniel’s own climax exploded inside her, warming her and possessing her to the soul.

  He buried his face in her neck, as Quinn’s sensitive skin trembled with so many sparks that still traveled through her. She felt exhausted while their sweat mingled. Quinn wrapped her arms around him and kissed his neck.

  She liked his crushing weight, how his cock twitched from the orgasm and his breathin
g invaded her ear. Everything felt just like the way she wanted, the way she expected a man to be with her. Daniel was her dream, she realized.

  Chapter Five

  Daniel felt exhausted, but not one bit sated. She was like breathing, he needed her again, wanted her, desired her like it was an endless loop. They needed rest first, though. When his breathing subsided, he moved and slid himself from her. He heard a moan escape her, which was enough to make him hard and ready again.

  He sat, reached for Quinn and held her in his arms. Her eyes were closed while her skin glowed with sweat, glimmering with the moonlight as though she was magical. But for him, she really was. Daniel stood and began to walk toward his room as Quinn wrapped herself closer to his body. He loved how she did that every time she could, as though it was never enough. He knew, because he felt the same way.

  Arriving at the bedroom, he laid her on the soft sheet. Instantly he was beside her, bringing her to his side where he wrapped his arms around her. A contented moan sounded in her throat, which made him smile. Quinn was almost sleeping, her exhausted body claiming her while he tried to hold back his own sleep. It was futile, and soon he drifted off to sleep.

  *****

  Quinn awoke to a hard pressure at the small of her back. She could hear Daniel’s breathing in her ear as his hand enveloped her stomach. It felt good to wake up like this, she thought. Even though he was sleeping, his erection poked her and begged to be touched—especially since they were naked, although her not so much, since she wore his red shirt.

  Gently so as not to wake him, she turned her body. She saw his gorgeous face and watched him deeply asleep breathing slowly and sweetly. She glanced down his body until she found what she was looking for—his cock. Wetting her lips, she returned her gaze to see that he still slept. Slowly, Quinn slid herself down, until she reached his waist. She wrapped her palm around him, his hips twitching a little bit because of the contact. With her mouth watering, she leaned in and closed her lips around the head. A deep moan escaped Daniel’s mouth.
