One Night With The Boss

CHAPTER 12

Acting on her most basic instincts, Elgort stepped forward and carried her mouth to Kate's mouth. Instant sexual intercourse and Elgort found Kate's shock with the demands of her mouth. Elgort's body pressed Kate's back against the rough bark of the tree and she felt Kate's lips under her pressure. Kate made a strange sound in her throat and then her arms wrapped around Elgort's neck, grasping, holding on.

Elgort's hand was on Kate's hip. Kate's clothes are damp but Elgort can feel the heat as she caresses Kate's small waist and then climbs upstairs to find something hanging over. Through the wet cloth Elgort felt a hard bulge from both ends of Kate's small. Unable to get any closer, Elgort slipped his finger into a thin cloth and touched the warm and delicate skin. The heat between them reached the flash point and Kate shouted, she left Elgort's mouth for a moment as her body almost stiffened.

Then his lips were on Elgort's lips again, and his hands moved to Elgort's chest, his fingers sliding and fumbling as he snatched the buttons of Elgort's shirt, and he snatched them away, open the wet cloth and touch it properly for the first time.

The sounds of rain and the living woods envelop them but Elgort hears nothing, only Kate's gentle breath and her rough breathing as they kiss, creating a magic that isolates them from their surroundings. His tongue explores the intimate secret of Kate's mouth and Elgort lowers his hand to the zipper of Kate's pants, ready and preparing to remove the girl's clothes to strip her. Sexual hunger flared up all over Elgort's body, but just as he thought he might explode with the intensity of that primitive urge, Kate's hands closed her hands.

"No." The word was almost inaudible as Kate's mouth slipped out of her mouth and the girl paused for a moment as if seeking breath and energy to speak.

"No. We can't. We have to stop."

Dizzied with lust and devoured by the hormonal impulse for momentary gratification, Elgort took a moment to fulfill Kate's request. Then she stepped back, slightly shaken by the ferocity of her own response and even more shocked by Kate's desire to quit.

Why would he want to stop?

His entire body ached, Elgort glanced towards the shoulder of the path that had all disappeared under the torrential rain. "Trust me, no one will pass by, if that's what worries you."

"It's not about anyone else. It's about us."

"We?" The word has an intimate connotation that makes Elgort cold to the bone and dampens his libido, more effective than any rainstorm. "There's no us."

Kate brushed her hair out of her eyes with trembling hands. "A moment ago you kissed me and your hands everywhere.”

"And?" Elgort looked at Kate blankly.

Kate shook her head. "Well, if you kiss someone, it usually means there's something between you."

The air around them throbbed with the heat they created and Elgort thrust his fingers into her hair to stop her from reaching for Kate again. "There's chemistry. That's what's between us."

"But why did you kiss me?"

Because he wants to? Because his body was throbbing and hurting every time he looked at the girl?

Despite her experiences with women, Elgort observes Kate with something close to disbelief. How could he turn the thirst for sek$' into a topic of conversation?

He spread his hand out with a gesture of increasing annoyance, trying to control the ferocious waves of lustful animals that still threatened to swallow him. "Isn't it clear? I consider you sexy'."

Kate tilted her head back and tied Elgort with her gaze. "But you don't like me, do you?"

Elgort clenched his jaws. Never, if he lived a million years, would he understand a woman's drive to question the obvious. "And how is that relevant?"

"I can't believe you just asked me that." Kate rubbed her face to remove the raindrops that were still attached. "You kissed me."

"Yes." Yeah." He looked at Elgort's gaze without trepidation. “But then I stopped you. I can't have a relationship with someone who doesn't like me that doesn't feel right."

Given the heat of Kate's mouth in her mouth, Elgort reassures Kate that it feels right. "I don't offer a relationship."

"But you're gonna fuck with me."

Elgort's laughter contained no hint of humor. Of love? the word effectively dampened his libido and cleared away the red mist from his brain. "Is it love that makes you take off my clothes?"

The red color runs down Kate's cheeks. "I admit that I've never felt anything like it before."

Kate moved away from Elgort, as if she did not believe herself to stand close to him and not touch him.

"But there are many reasons why it's not a good idea. One of them is, like it or not, that you are responsible for my loan. That would be untrue."

"You want me to secure your loan before we get in touch with sek$?"

Well, of course he wants that. Angry at herself for breaking her rules and complicating the situation, Elgort felt her mouth tighten, but Kate shook her head.

"Of course not. I want you to extend my loan, yes, but not because of. But if anything happens then it is inevitable that you will question my reasons for sleeping with you."

No, he won't. He would sleep with her and forget about her. Because that's the way he chose to live his life. "I don't like analysis. When you sleep with me, I can guarantee you that there will be no post-mortem." Elgort rubbed his face to clear the water from his vision. "Frankly, I don't care if we don't talk at all."

Kate's lips are open. "Oh, wow, that's romantic."

She leaned forward and placed her arms against the tree, bringing her arms close to Kate's body again. “Should not be romantic.” He raised Kate's chin, forcing the girl to look him in the eye. "Romantic is a lie that people tell in bed. And I'm not lying. Is that what you're gonna do, Kate? Are you going to tell all the lies that women always tell? Because if it is, then this is the moment you shared with me that you love me. And we both know that you don't love me. It's not about that. It's about physical chemistry."

Something flashes in Kate's blue eyes. "You're so confused."

"No." The irony of Kate's statement, made a smile to Elgort's lips. "I was very straightforward. Everyone around me is playing the game, Miss Rutherford."

Kate's chin is up. "I don't play games, but I don't sleep with men I don't know. And especially not with a careless man with feelings."

"I'm not careless. Not at all." Elgort was careful. He plays by a set of rules. And he made it for a reason. "Sek$' is sek$'. It doesn't have to be complicated."

Kate looked at. "You're telling me that you're gonna fuck me on the forest floor today, and then withdraw my loan tomorrow?"

"Love?" Just saying that word made her mouth feel bad. "Not Love. I didn't say anything about love."

Something flashes in Kate's eyes. "Sek$' without feeling, then."

"Sek$'..." Elgort stepped closer to Kate and felt a splash of Chemistry. "That's appetite, like hunger or thirst. The urge to be content."
