Their Salvation (Bosses In Love Book 1) Page 6

  I do as he says, baring myself to him. I don’t feel shy or scared, but powerful. He takes a small step back and sucks in a deep breath. “You're stunning.” He makes me blush, but I feel energized from his gaze.

  “I want to undress you,” I tell him.

  He groans and clenches his hands at his side. I take that as a go ahead and undo his buttons one by one then untuck his shirt. He has hair on his chest which looks like it belongs to some Roman god. I push it off, wanting to see more of him. His massive torso and arms are littered in scars and I touch every single one with my fingers. I can feel his body all but vibrate as I go. He toes off his shoes and touches his belt, but I stop him.

  “That’s my job,” I tell him, starting to feel a little more eager now. I take it off quickly and undo his pants. He shoves them down along with his boxers and kicks them to the side, giving me my first look at him. He’s enormous and I’m mesmerized by him.

  “Diana, if you keep staring at me like that you’ll be pinned to the bed before we can explore each other,” he warns me.

  I can't help but let out a giggle and smile. “Then let's explore.”

  Chapter 11

  Pierce

  I want nothing more than to do just that. I cup her face with my hands, kissing her passionately. My cock is all but ready to explode as she moans deep and long. I move my hands down her arms, then up her stomach and cup her generous breasts, playing with her nipples. She lets out a sexy little gasp and I don’t know how much more I can take without tasting her. I rip my lips from hers and take a path down her neck to her pink nipples, wanting to spend more time on them but aiming for a bigger prize. I drop to my knees as my lips land on top of her silk underwear and my fingers slowly slip them down her legs, finally revealing my prize.

  I stand quickly, and guide her to the bed, gently pushing her back on it. I fall on top of her, covering my body with hers, touching her everywhere I can. “I want to taste you.”

  She gives me a shy smile and says, “I don’t know what that means.”

  I still at her words. I know she's not a virgin, but maybe she’s never done this before. I know I haven't, but it makes me think. “How long has it been?” I ask, not wanting to hear about her with another man.

  “Five years, nine months,” she tells me. I stop my petting to look at her, a little confused. “I’ve only been intimate once,” she clarifies.

  I have so many questions, but I’ll save them for later. I'm going to make her forget that experience one hundred times over. “I’ll go slow. Tell me if you want to stop.” I want her to feel comfortable.

  “I don’t want to,” she says right away and I can't help but smile at how fast she interjected.

  “Then I won't.” I go back to kissing her, making my way back down her body again. When I reach her hips I gently open her legs and hear her intake of breath. I glance up and once she gives me a slow nod, I continue. She tastes fantastic, and I grow even hungrier. Diana’s moans get louder with every stroke of my tongue. I feel like I’m about to explode if I don’t get inside her. I take her all the way to her climax, and her release covers my tongue. I'm addicted instantly. After I lick and suck every inch and drop, I crawl up her body.

  She has a dreamy smile on her face. “Wow, that was amazing.” She sounds like she’s in awe.

  I chuckle before leaning in to kiss her, making sure she tastes herself on my lips. I position myself between her legs, pulling back from our kiss I rest my forehead on hers. “Are you ready?” I ask, my cock eagerly waiting at her opening.

  She sucks in a deep breath and clings to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. “Yes, Pierce. I trust you.”

  “You always can, Diana. Always.” And I slowly start to push inside. She's incredibly tight, like a silk pillow covering my steel. I let out a deep moan, loving the way she feels.

  “You’re so big,” Diana gasps.

  “Are you okay?” I ask, gritting my teeth, trying not to unload inside her just yet.

  “Yes. Move, please,” she moans.

  I do, start off slow, making sure to kiss and touch her everywhere I can. I begin to pick up speed, her moans and pleas driving me insane. I thrust into her, claiming her, making her mine. Forever.

  “Yes, Pierce,” Diana’s breathy voice is so erotic. I can't stand it anymore.

  “I need you to come, Diana. Now,” I growl out.

  We come together, her screaming her release as I growl mine. I lay on top of her, making sure I don’t crush her.

  “I didn’t know it could ever be like that,” she whispers as I feel her hands run up and down my back. “That was the most spectacular experience of my life.” She sounds amazed.

  “You’re good for my ego,” I chuckle and pull back, kissing her. I roll us onto our sides, staying inside her, tight against my body.

  “Is it always like this?” She asks.

  “I have no idea. I can’t remember my few times. It was so very long ago.” I cuddle closer to her.

  “I can't believe you haven't had flocks of women begging for your attention.”

  “I hate people, and I don’t want theirs, only yours.” I nuzzle into her.

  I hear her giggle. “Can’t hate all people.” She gives me a playful slap.

  “I don’t. I love you. I love Eli.” I tell her honestly. I feel her freeze in my arms. She looks at me, her eyes are wide with shock, amazement, and something else.

  “You love me?” She breathes out. “You love Eli?”

  “How could I not? He has great taste in cars,” I joke.

  She smiles, but it doesn’t reach her eyes, and I can't help but notice she hasn’t said it back. I'm guessing this has something to do with her ex, which I plan to get to the bottom of tomorrow. Right now, I’m going to spend the rest of the night showing her just how much I love her.

  The next morning

  “How much more time do you need?” I ask Josh. He’s been trying to trace the account the money is going into for the last two weeks.

  “Sorry, boss. These guys are no amateurs. What I'm doing is illegal, so it takes time to cover my tracks,” he tells me. “Are you going to fire Dan?”

  “Why do you ask?”

  “It’ll tip-off whoever is involved. He could move the money, then we’ll have to start all over again,” he tells me something I already know.

  “Yeah, I just hate having him around when he's the one helping someone steal from me.”

  “I’ll work as fast as I can. Get back to you soon,” he says before hanging up.

  Placing my phone on the counter, I go back to making a pot of coffee. The phone woke me up, but Diana is still sleeping. I’m pissed as hell I had to leave her, but I was hoping for better news. Turning on the pot, I return to my bedroom. Diana is sound asleep; her beautiful black curly hair spread across my pillow. She looks fantastic, content, and at home. I can't wait to get her and Eli in the new house the next couple days. I crawl in and lay beside her leaning over to kiss her neck. She starts to stir as I kiss her cheek then her lips. She eventually opens her eyes and smiles brightly at me. Damn, I can wake up to this every morning.

  “Hi,” her voice sounds sleepy.

  “Good morning, beautiful,” I say with a smile back.

  She reaches out and touches my face, her delicate fingers feeling like heaven. I take her hand and kiss it.

  “Do I smell coffee? What time is it?” She sits up a little more, the sheet falling to reveal her beautiful breasts. Suddenly I’m wide awake and so is my cock, I want to take one of her perfect nipples in my mouth, but stop myself. I need to get her to talk to me.

  “Yes, and it’s about eight. Would you like a cup?” I get up and head to my drawer pulling out one of my t-shirts and giving it to her.

  “I would love some, but first I need to call Eli.” She stands, baring her full body and I let a groan slip. She’s so stunning.

  Diana chuckles. “You must be the only man who thinks stretch marks and extra weight on a woman is sexy.�
�

  I walk to her and pull her against me, kissing her deep and passionately. I don’t see these flaws she’s hung up on. She’s perfect gorgeous.

  “What were you saying?” I ask with a grin.

  “Nothing.” She smiles back.

  “Arms up.” She does as I say, and I slip my shirt over her head. I take her hand and lead her to the kitchen, sitting her on the stool and getting her a cup of coffee.

  I pass her my cell phone. “Call Eli.” I kiss her forehead. “I’ll make breakfast.”

  “You can cook?” She seems surprised.

  “Don’t get too excited. I'm making scrambled eggs and toast.”

  “Sounds good to me,” she says as she dials.

  I hear her talk to Ellen, gushing about the gala, the dress, how we got our photo taken and she’ll show her later. Then she gets on the phone with Eli.

  “Hi honey. How was your time with Ellen?” She smiles at something he says. “I’ll be back tonight. Keep having fun with Ellen and be good.” She pauses then adds, “I will. I love you.” She puts the phone down. “Eli wanted me to say hello.”

  “We should go out to dinner tonight,” I mention as I finish off the eggs.

  When she doesn’t answer, I look at her and see she’s staring out the window, the skyline of the city visible. She seems lost in thought. I bring her plate to her, and she seems to snaps out of it.

  “Diana, you okay?”

  “Yeah, of course.” her smile doesn’t reach her eyes though and she eats quickly, and I do the same. I take our plates and put them in the sink, then turn around and lean against the counter. She becomes nervous under my gaze.

  “Diana, we need to talk,” I tell her and watch as she visibly swallows.

  “I know,” she agrees, but sounds miserable about it. I take her hand and lead her to the couch, making sure she sits close to me.

  Taking a deep breath, I ask what I'm not sure I want to know. “Tell me about your ex.” She’s always been a tough nut to crack, so closed off, with wall after wall. It must be because of him.

  When she looks at me, I'm struck by the sheer sadness and despair radiating from her eyes. “I don’t have one,”sShe states. I feel a little confused, then it clicks.

  “Eli’s dad was a fling?” I ask, a little shocked because that doesn’t sound like her. She shakes her head. “A one-night stand?” Again, she shakes her head. Then I see tears fall from her beautiful dark blue eyes. “Diana?” I pull her into my arms, but she pushes me away and stands and it's like a dagger in my heart.

  “Pierce, I'm so sorry. I shouldn’t have let this go on, shouldn’t have agreed to move in. This has all been a huge mistake. You couldn’t possibly love me after you find out.” She’s sobbing, getting all worked up.

  “Tell me,” I demand, I'm pissed she thinks we’re a mistake.

  “I can’t bear what you’ll think of me.” She’s hysterical now. “Just like my parents.”

  “Enough,” I growl and slam my hand down on the coffee table, shocking her so she’ll stop.

  She’s staring at me with sad wet eyes. She looks defeated, and I have no idea why. I take a deep breath, trying to calm down a little.

  “Diana, nothing you tell me will ever make us a mistake, nor change the way I feel about you. Nothing on this earth is that strong because my love for you is an insurmountable force.” I walk towards her. “Don’t doubt that, or my love for you. That would break my heart.” I lean my forehead against hers and she breaks out in tears again. I hold her and let her cry.

  I guide her back to the couch, she’s still weepy, but can talk. “Tell me,” I urge.

  She lets out a deep breath then says, “I was eighteen, in my first semester at university and walking home one night from the campus library when I was attacked.” And just like that, I feel my stomach drop and my heart stop. “I didn’t see his face, and he hit me in the head a few times, I was disoriented.” She wipes a few tears away. “The police never got any leads and it’s a cold case now. A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant with Eli. My parents wanted me to get an abortion, but I couldn’t so they kicked me out. We’ve been alone ever since.”

  The anger and despair I feel are almost uncontrollable, but I bottle it down. I can't imagine how Diana was feeling, or what she’s been through and is now exploring. Her parents turned their backs on her, on Eli. It makes me see red. I cup her face, bringing her eyes to mine.

  “I love you.” I kiss her lips. “I love you.” I do it again, deeper this time. “Diana, this doesn’t change anything. We can work through it together. You and Eli are still moving in, and we're going to be a family.”

  “Really?” She seems genuinely shocked.

  “Yes. It guts me like nothing else knowing what you’ve been through. Fills me with rage because of the pain and disrespect you were given. But it changes nothing. You are mine. Eli is mine. Got it?” She’s speechless. “Say it,” I demand. “Say you’re mine.”

  A small smile graces her lips then she says, “I’m yours.” I devour her mouth and she finally kisses me back.

  “Diana, last night, I should have been more aware.” She stops me before I can finish and is now gripping my face in her hands.

  “Pierce, No. It was amazing, the best night of my life. You erased any bad feelings or memories.” I see the sincerity in her watery eyes. She straddles me suddenly, my shirt riding up her legs. I grip her ass in my hands steadying her. “I love you.” She says the words I’ve been longing to hear.

  I growl and take her lips with mine. “I need you, Diana. Please.”

  “Yes, Pierce. Always. Forever.”

  Always and forever. That’s precisely what she’ll get.

  Chapter 12

  Diana~One month later

  So much has changed over a short time. Eli and I have moved into the new house with Pierce. It was difficult leaving the retirement home. Everyone was sad but happy for the next chapter in our lives. We’ve had a group of the retirees over a few times already. I thought Eli would have a tough time with all the changes, but he's been nothing but excited about everything, especially having Pierce around. They’ve become the best of friends, and Pierce is excellent with him.

  Work has been business as usual, Pierce has been talking with one of his tech guys to track down who owns the account the stolen money is going in. Apparently, whoever it is has a good tech guy also, meaning it's been difficult to track. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Dan, so we don’t raise anyone’s suspicion. Every time I run into him, he seems more agitated. So far, I’ve managed to brush him off, but I'm not sure how much longer I can deal with him.

  Looking back, I can't believe what Pierce and I have built between us. I was scared to death to tell him about my attack, afraid he might think of me differently. At that point everything was too good to be true and I thought by telling him it would come crashing down. But it didn’t, we’re stronger now and life has been better than ever.

  Its Sunday morning and I’m finishing breakfast while Eli and Pierce are still asleep. Yesterday we spent the day at the beach, and today we plan on going shopping. It’s Eli’s sixth birthday next week, and he’s decided he wants a Mustang-themed party, and of course, Pierce is excited.

  I plate the food and set the table, realizing it’s eight. Wow, I guess the beach yesterday wore them both out. I walk upstairs and peek in on Eli and yep, still passed out. I gently close his door and go to our bedroom to see Pierce is also asleep. He’s naked under the sheets since we were up late. Every night Pierce shows me how incredible sex can be, how incredible him loving me can be. I gently pull the sheet away revealing his spectacular body. He's hard everywhere, a few scars, but to me he’s perfect. My eyes catch his morning wood. He’s never let me taste him as he does me. I crawl between his legs, gently grasping his member in my hands. He’s smooth but hard. Gaining more confidence, I lean in use my tongue. Pierce lets out a long, deep moan, starting to waken. I take all of him in, licking, sucking, and exp
loring him. I feel his hands run through my hair, guiding me.

  “Diana,” he breaths out. Suddenly he pulls me off, flipping me on my back and leaning over me. He takes my mouth in a hungry kiss. I moan, feeling his warm body covering mine and the head of his cock enters me slowly. Like every time we make love its pure bliss. “I couldn’t wait, I needed you,” his voice is husky in my ear.

  “Please, Pierce.” I moan, then he takes my mouth in a punishing kiss as he thrusts deep.

  I gasp loudly, causing Pierce to cover my lips with his. “Shhh, you’ll wake Eli,” he whispers.

  I can't help but giggle and when he smiles down at me, it just about takes my breath away. We make love like animals, hard and unforgiving. He unloads, filling me up, and I feel complete with him inside me. He all but lays on top of me, and I hug him close, loving the feeling of his warm body on mine.

  “That’s one hell of a way to wake up,” I feel the rumble of Pierce's voice.

  I hum with pleasure and tell him, “We should do it more often.”

  He chuckles and says,. “I won't say no to that.” He looks me in the eyes, a soft smile spreading across his face. “God, you’re so beautiful.” He says as if in awe.

  “You're not so bad yourself.” I reach up and touch his face, giving him a cheeky smile. “I have breakfast ready. Let's get cleaned up.”

  Pierce slips out of me making us both moan at the loss. He helps me off the bed giving me a quick kiss before heading to the shower. I get dressed, this time in my clothes for the day, and go to wake up Eli. After helping him get dressed, we all sit down for breakfast, talking about Eli’s birthday, and who he’s invited. He seems excited to say the least. After we eat, I gather the dishes to wash in the sink.

  “Hey, Dad, can we have a car show for my birthday?” Eli asks innocently. I almost drop my dish in the sink. He’s never called Pierce that before. I try not to freak out, wondering what Pierce will say.

  “Mustangs only?” Pierce asks with no hesitation, like Eli calling him Dad didn’t even faze him.
