Free Downtown Girl (Lipstick Red #1) by Zara Asher Page B

sucking and squeezing as she orgasmed, adding seconds to the waves of ecstasy washing over her body.
    Satiated, he pulled out gently, making sure to keep hold of her.  She was in danger of falling over. 
    ‘My legs have gone dead,’ she laughed, falling forward and landing in his arms. 
    ‘As long as it’s just your leg.  I wouldn’t want your heart to peg out on me.  That was the most magnificent show of orgasmic frenzy I’ve ever seen.’  She giggled as he helped her to stand properly, rubbing the leg that had been hooked around his waist.    
    Holding hands, they stepped back onto the balcony while he held her comfortably in his arms.  She liked the feeling.  She felt safe.
    ‘Starters on the table,’ he whispered, nodding to the flashing blue table.  He kissed her ear as she glowed with the aftermath of a great orgasm. 
    Turning to walk inside, she spotted the red glow of a cigarette being inhaled a few balconies along, hoping whoever it was enjoyed as good an evening as she’d had so far.  Her inner sex bomb was fully satisfied.
    Grabbing her bag and phone, she noticed two missed messages, both from an unknown number, but when she read them, it was obvious who they were from. 
    ‘Dining room 4, three doors down from you on the left hand side.  I’ll be here all night.  There’s something you need to know about your dining partner.’
    Three doors down the corridor on the left!  She quickly stepped outside, counting along to where she’d seen the cigarette glow as she read her texts.  Three balconies along on the left!  Her heart sank as she kept reading. 
    ‘Don’t ignore me.  I’m not a man to be messed with!’
    ‘Come on gorgeous.  Goats cheese with roasted red onions in balsamic syrup is served.’ David stepped through to whisk her into the dining room.  Feeling slightly sick, she forced a smile while she ate her thankfully small portion of food.
    The waiter knocked hesitantly at the door of their private space before entering.
    ‘Message for Ms Griffiths.  An urgent call.’ 
    ‘That’s odd,’ she said, knowing she’d only told one person.
    Checking her phone, she hadn’t missed any calls. 
    ‘It must be Amber, my friend from home.  She’s such a drama queen and she’d the only one who knows I’m here.  I’ll be as quick as I can,’ she smiled to David as she took her bag and began to follow the waiter.
    David pulled out his phone to check e-mails.  ‘Take your time.  We’ve got at least half an hour before the next course.  I’ll be out on the balcony, or on the sofa when you get back.’

    Following the waiter, she stepped along smartly behind him.  He stopped three doors down on the left, his eyes dropping humbly.  The door was open as the waiter used a hand to motion her inside.   
    ‘Come in,’ Jack said, his eyes flashing in anger.
    ‘What do you think you’re playing at,’ he hissed as he closed the door.  ‘He’s an ex-gang leader.  Do you have any idea what you’re getting into, you silly girl?’
    ‘What’s it got to do with you?’ she flashed back, irritated that he’d lied to get her to come to him.
    ‘It’s got everything to do with me.  You work for me. ’
    ‘You don’t own me, or are you going to sack me?  Is that it?’
    ‘Christ, I don’t want to sack you, I want to fuck you.  Exactly like he’s just done!  I’ve wanted you since the day you walked into the auditorium on your first day!’ 
    Six months ago, she’d have been ecstatic to hear that.  ‘So why didn’t you tell me then?  I might have listened six months ago, or is it that you only want me now, because I’m not sitting around waiting for you to notice me?  Do you think every woman at Willgox is just waiting for years on end, just for you to come calling?’
    ‘Kevin asked me to keep my distance.’ 
    ‘Why would he do that?  And why would it matter?’
    ‘Because he seems to be in love with you, and if I’d jumped in, he’d
