Free Corporate Affair by Unknown

this. Nor did she want to think about her own actions in that moment. Instead she clung to him with an intensity that amazed her.
    She felt the lean strength in his hips as her hands searched out the feel of him beneath the tight jeans.
    "Why are we standing here? I have the perfect place for us," he rasped and swung her high into his arms. Kalinda pressed her lips to his now-naked shoulder and closed her eyes once more as he strode down the cream-carpeted hall to a bedroom full of caramels and browns.
    He settled her gently on the sun-dappled bed, her light-colored hair fanning out across the rich golden brown bedspread. For a moment he stood gazing down at her and then he sat beside her, his hands going to the long tendrils of hair.
    "It’s almost the same color as my bedspread," he half-smiled, stroking luxuriously. "Your skin looks like cream in the morning light." His eyes roamed warmly over her as he slowly unbuckled the web belt of her khaki trousers and finished undressing her.
    He performed the task with infinite care, pausing to caress each inch of skin revealed until she lay naked beneath his hands. He stroked his fingers in languid, delicious little circles along the length of her leg from ankle to thigh. By the time he reached her hip Kalinda was trembling with desire.
    Apparently satisfied with his efforts, Rand pulled away for a moment, sliding quickly, impatiently out of his jeans and returning to her welcoming arms with a hoarsely whispered exclamation of need.
    "I was going to head straight back to Denver after calling David this morning," she whispered as he gathered her close. "But somehow I couldn’t leave without seeing you…."
    "I would have gone mad if you hadn’t."
    He buried his lips at the curve of her shoulder, nipping gently at her skin while his hand closed possessively over her breast. The firming nipple beneath his palm seemed to arouse him further and Kalinda reached down to touch him with intimate wonder.
    "Did you really spend the night pacing the floor?" she asked breathlessly, as his body stirred ardently against hers.
    "What does it look like?" he growled ruefully. "But it was worth it to open the door this morning and find you standing there. I took one look at you and knew I didn’t have to worry any longer!"
    He raked a trail of pleasure across the taut nipple, down her sensitive stomach and along her thigh, following his hand with his lips. Her fingers twisted passionately in his hair as he slid lower on her body and when his exciting kisses found her secret core of desire she cried out.
    "Oh, my God, Rand! You’re driving me wild. I’ve never known this kind of… of aching!"
    He turned his head and kissed the inside of her thigh. Her leg shifted reflexively, her knee lifting alongside his body.
    "I know exactly what you’re talking about," he murmured thickly, his fingers squeezing into the softness of her curving bottom. "After I took you back to the motel last night I told myself I was a fool, that I should have kept you here and taken you to bed regardless of what you thought you wanted at the time. But I knew it would be better if it happened this way…."
    "You seem to have known me better than I knew myself for a while," she admitted, twisting restlessly against him. Her breathing came in short, broken little pants as she felt the raging hunger take control of her.
    "And now I’m going to know you even more thoroughly," he vowed. "I’m going to make you mine this morning, Kalinda Brady. I have to!"
    She saw the smoldering fire in his eyes as he raised himself with sudden intention and her own whirling senses spun chaotically out of control.
    Rand trapped her ankle with his leg and an instant later he settled along the length of her, covering her soft, curving body with his hard, thrilling strength.
    But even as she reached up to cling to him and draw him down to her, Kalinda was aware that he was determined to hold off the ultimate union a little longer.
    "Please,"
