Kane
stared at her with unbridled shock on his face. He turned the sound all the way
down on the game. “You’re giving up the story?”


Yes, because you’re right. If I print that you all
have secret teams and what they’re doing, the hackers will disappear again. The
other two stories won’t have that same effect.”

The
look of admiration he gave her made her traitorous pussy wet, and she recalled
what he’d said before the game started. He hoped this night would end in them
having sex. Would that be here, in this loge?


Julianne, you really have changed. I’m impressed. No,
you don’t have to name your source to write the other two, but tell me one
thing, please. Is this source a threat to me or one of the other Weathermen?”

She
sighed. “I’m not sure yet, and that’s the truth. How about if I make you a
deal? If she tells me something I think might be a threat to your company or
one of your friends’ companies, I’ll tell you who it is and what she said.”


You’d break the confidence of a trusted source?”


I prefer to think of it like a priest in a
confessional. If they hear about a crime, they have a moral obligation to
report it to the police. A source is one thing, but a threat to your business
is quite another.”

He
narrowed his eyes, and the skin on her neck prickled. “It sounds like you
already have reason to believe this source might be a threat to my company.”


I’m honestly not sure, but she did say a few things
that made me wonder where her motivation lies.”


Such as?”

He’d
backed her into a corner again. What the hell was wrong with her? She never let
people do that. She was either losing her touch, or this man fucked with her
head in a way no one else did. “Well, specifically, she said you asked her out
but she turned you down.” She held up a hand. “Before you say one word, I know
she was lying. It was that evident.”


Glad you clarified that because I’m assuming this
source is one of my employees, correct?”


Yes.” It didn’t matter. He’d already figured that out.


I don’t date employees. I have a strict rule about
that. My friends aren’t as careful where that’s concerned, but I was burned
badly once before we all moved underground, and I don’t intend to let things
get that out of control again.”

So that’s why he turned down
Isabelle
. Or
Isabelle could still have lied about the entire incident. Would he have gone
out with Isabelle if she didn’t work for him?
Watch it, Wallis. Your jealousy is showing.


So who is it, Julianne? You might as well tell me now.
You’ve already broken the girl code, and told me she’s a liar on top of it.”

Damn him!
“The girl code?”


You told a guy another girl said he asked her out.”

She
had never heard that and suspected he was making it up as he went, but his grin
sent shivers down her spine anyway. She cut her gaze toward the bedroom. He’d
left the door partially open, and soft light bathed the room. When had he
turned on a light in there? Had he done it when he’d come back in here for the
chairs?

Kane
followed her gaze, and then he cut his back to her. The most delicious lust
filled his sexy eyes, and she found it difficult to take a breath. “Tell me who
it is,” he said, his voice soft and seductive. “Think of what she said as a
security risk.”


It’s not.”


It might be. Especially since she lied about it.”


She didn’t lie about your cyber security. She lied
about you asking her out.”


That might be the tip of the iceberg.”


I can’t make that leap,” she said, shaking her head.

He
shifted toward her. “Maybe I can persuade you.” Even before he bent his head
and kissed her, Julianne knew he was going to do it. She reached up to wrap her
arms around his broad shoulders, and welcomed his warm, soft lips on hers with
all the pent-up passion and frustration of the past five years. She’d waited
too long to kiss Kane Bannerman again.

 

Chapter
Six

 

Julianne
could kiss like no woman he’d ever locked lips with. Kane’s dick was rock hard,
and it took every ounce of willpower not to push her back on the cushions and
fuck her into next week. She parted her lips before he teased them with his
tongue, and when he slid it into her warm mouth, she moaned deep in her throat.

Kane
was a man possessed. He had to have her and now. Fuck the hockey game. Fuck the
source who had lied about him asking her on a date. Fuck the stories Julianne
wanted to write, and fuck everything else. He only wanted this beautiful, sexy
woman again. He’d wanted her for five years now, and this time he’d have her
for longer than forty-seven minutes.

He
tangled his fingers in all that copper-colored hair and deepened the kiss. She
started to fall back against the cushions so he released her mouth. “No. Not
here. I want to do this right.”

She
smiled at him with so much tenderness in her beautiful eyes that he wondered if
he was dreaming this. “Define
right
.
We have all the time in the world, Kane. I want you now. Please. I’m on the
pill, and I have no social diseases.”

He
let out a sound that was halfway between a gasp and a laugh. “I love your
directness, Julianne. It’s so damn refreshing. I have none either.” Fuck the
condoms. He’d save them for the back door action he hoped she’d give him later.

Kane
crawled off her long enough to turn off the game and dim the lights. It wasn’t
that he didn’t want to look at her, but he was trying to make this as romantic
as possible. Last time had been raw and animalistic, and then he’d never called
her or acknowledged it, even after that horrible story had come out. He’d
simply dismissed Julianne Wallis as a liar and a cheat. She had been both back
then, but she clearly had worked hard to change all that. He would never again
treat her that way.

When
he crawled back onto the sofa, he helped her lie down, and then he covered her
body with his and took that mouth again. She arched her hips into his erection
and moaned once more.
Jesus
. He was
going to come in his pants. Forty-one years old and his body reacted like a
horny pre-teen around this stunning girl. Did she know how damn seductive she
was?

Kane
forced himself to release her mouth. He sat back on his heels and grinned down
at her, taking her wrists in his hands. “You have on way too many clothes.”

Her
soft giggle sent his arousal to crazy heights. “Do something about it then.”


Oh baby, I will. Promise.” Kane pulled her to a
sitting position, and then he removed her sweater. “Goodness, that’s pretty.”
She had on a one-piece satiny thing that was low cut but covered her breasts,
torso, and pussy. “Unfortunately, it has to go. It’s in my way.”

He
moved aside so she could stand, and then he pushed the straps down her arms. He
caressed her skin until she whimpered softly, and only then did he allow
himself the privilege of pushing the top of the teddy down over her breasts.
“You’re beautiful,” he whispered.

Kneading
them in his hands, he teased her nipples into taut points until his cock was so
damn hard it caused him physical pain.

She
reached underneath his hands and started to slide down the rest of the teddy,
but he let go of her breasts and fixed her with a hard look. “Don’t do it. Keep
your arms above your head or pinned to your side. If you touch this exquisite
lingerie even one time, I’m turning the game back on.”

Her
smile was knowing and so damn sexy he had to bite back a groan. “Right. ‘Cause
you aren’t ready to burst yet. Just like me.”

Kane
shook his head slightly. “You’re an infuriating woman, you know that?”


Yes.”


Seriously. Let me do this. Please? I’m enjoying it so
fucking much.”


So am I.”


Then keep your hands out of my way.”


Yes, sir.”

Oh lord.
Julianne acting the part of a
submissive. He couldn’t handle that. He’d lose his mind. He returned to playing
with her breasts, and then when she tossed her head back and let out a loud,
sexy moan, he couldn’t take anymore.

Kane
bent his head and sucked her nipples, alternating, while he tried to keep from coming
in his pants. He’d never been so ready to fuck in his life. This was even more
arousing than their quickie sex five years ago.

****

Julianne
tangled her fingers in Kane’s soft hair as tiny jolts of electricity shot
straight to her throbbing clit. The man knew how to tease nipples. She was out
of her mind with excitement.


I told you to leave your arms over your head or pinned
to your side.”


You were serious about that?”

She
giggled at the look of incredulity on his face. He removed his glasses, which
only made her moan again because now she could better see his sexy eyes, and
then he picked up her sweater and told her to put her hands over her head.


Why?”

The
look on his face took her breath away. It was a combination of molten lust and
sheer dominance. Julianne had no idea he’d be like this, and she loved it.
“Because I said so.”

She
did as he asked out of curiosity, and then let out a soft groan as he wrapped
her sweater around her wrists. “There. Now where was I?” He bent his head and
returned to torturing her nipples until she was begging him to fuck her. How
did the man have so damn much self control?

When
he finally released them, she was panting. He held her gaze, and then he picked
her up in his arms as if she weighed nothing. Julianne kept her arms overhead
as Kane carried her into the bedroom and laid her on the bed. “Don’t move. I’ll
be right back.”


May I blink?”

He
chuckled softly. “Very funny. You may blink, but don’t do anything else or I’m
going back out on the balcony to watch the game.”

She
smiled and watched him return to the main room, knowing he wanted to watch
hockey right now about as much as she did. When he came back into the bedroom,
he placed his glasses on the night stand and two bottles of water next to them.
Then he crawled onto the bed and straddled her thighs. “Time to see the rest of
you.”

She
gasped as he pulled the teddy off, taking her jeans and boots with it. He
tossed the clothes on the floor, and the look on his face took her breath away.
No man had ever looked at her with such reverence and lust. “You’re shaved.”

Julianne
was grateful for the low light because heat crept up her neck. “Um … I wasn’t
sure you’d like it, but I was hoping you would.”

He
tilted his head slightly and grinned in a way that sent a fresh gush of wetness
to her pussy. “So, you had this planned.”


Not exactly, but I was hoping it would happen.”


Julianne, you flatter me, and you surprise me nearly
every time you open that delicious mouth of yours.”


At least I keep you on your toes.”

He
chuckled and scooted down her legs, then spread them with deliberate slowness.
She wanted to move her arms but wasn’t sure if she should take a chance on
ending this before anything happened, so she forced them to stay put.

Kane
teased her pussy lips with feathery touches from both his fingers and his
tongue until she was out of her mind with need. She writhed on the bed and
whimpered, but he didn’t do so much as spread her pussy lips or touch her clit.
She couldn’t take it any longer. “Please, Kane. Please!”

He
lifted his head and grinned, and she let out a cry of frustration. “Please,
what? Tell me what you want, Julianne.”


Oh my God,
seriously
?
Fuck me. Lick me. Suck me. Shove your fingers inside me.
Anything
!”


What will you give me in return?”


What?” She was hallucinating. That was the only
logical explanation. Was the man even human?


I asked what you’ll give me in return. I’ve given you
two stories, and you’re naked with your wrists tied together. What do I get out
of this?”


A naked woman tied up in your bed.”

He
shook his head. “Not good enough. If I do what you want, what will you do for
me?”

She
narrowed her eyes as shivers ran up and down her spine. Decadent images raced
through her mind. Exactly how kinky was Kane Bannerman? “What do you want?”

He
brushed a hand up one thigh and down the other, and Julianne couldn’t stop the
moan in time. The smug grin he gave her should have angered her, but all it did
was fuel her excitement. “Are you sure you want to know?”


Yes!” He was torturing her with the mere promise of
sex.

Kane
flipped her onto her stomach before she could do more than let out a breath. He
caressed her ass cheeks, and then he smacked each one, hard. “
This
is what I want. You, over my knee,
taking a good, old-fashioned spanking because you are such a damn
brat
, Julianne. When my hand gets tired,
I have a paddle to use on your lovely round ass.”

He
covered her body with his and turned her face sideways toward his. She had to
struggle to take a full breath because she was so aroused she could barely
think. His beautiful eyes blazed with desire. “After I spank you and paddle you
hard enough to thoroughly punish you for what you’ve done to me, I will fuck
you. I will fuck you hard and rough. I will fuck your pussy, your delectable
mouth, and your very pretty ass.”

Kane
kissed her, shoving his tongue into her mouth, but just as quickly released it,
leaving her wanting so much more. “
That’s
what I want. Your move, gorgeous.”
