second,” I whispered as I felt my face heat up.
    “Listen, lambskin doesn’t protect against STDs but we’re both safe. You said you weren’t on anything and it will protect against pregnancy. As far as I am concerned, that is my only worry. I don’t make it a habit to bone my employees or random women and I trust you. Do you trust me?”
    His sky blue eyes were so bright with lust and truth, I nodded before I could stop myself from doing anything different.
    Liam nodded and flipped me over onto my stomach. “Do you like it rough? Is that what will make you pay attention to the here and now?”
    “Yes,” I gasped.
    He grabbed my hair as he entered me roughly from behind and fucked me hard and rough. I lost myself in the moment and it was exhilarating. Nothing existed outside of his hard thrusts and the way his cock felt inside me, opening me, commanding me to obey his every thrust and his need to get off along with my own.
    When one of his hands snaked between my legs and began to caress my clit, I lost all sense of time and place. His breath, hot and heavy against my neck, drove me over the edge as he caressed me in a teasing way. He wasn’t trying to help me come in any way. The longer I held out, the more time he had to enjoy me and that was the point.
    I lost count how many times he made me come that night or how many condoms we went through but it was more than three. As soon as I thought he was sated, he would be ready to go another round and as much as it embarrassed me to admit it, I felt the same way. I wasn’t ready for the night to end, not yet.
    Around four in the morning, we were finally finished, physically and mentally exhausted. Liam liked to cuddle and he held me close in his arms, his lips kissing my neck and breathing my scent.
    “No one can know this happened between us,” I finally said after a very long silence. “They will think you gave me the job because you were attracted to me and not because of my skills. Plus, the last thing I need is workplace gossip. It is going to be tough enough to be the new ‘girl’. I don’t need talk I’m just some whore who spreads her legs for the boss.”
    Liam turned me toward him and kissed my nose. “It won’t get out because I am worried about employee gossip…it can’t get out because it would destroy Colin. He’s my brother and I know how he is. He likes you a lot and I couldn’t do that to him.”
    My hands reached for his face and caressed the sides which were rough with new-growth though I could barely tell due to his fair hair. “So, protecting Colin is your highest priority? That makes me feel really good because I like him too but I couldn’t have done this with him so soon and not felt like a whore. I know it doesn’t matter I don’t have a lot of sexual partners but…I want him to take me seriously and if something happens between us, I want it to be special.”
    “You mean not like this?” he inquired before he laughed out loud. “Don’t get me wrong, I think you are a great girl and if my brother wasn’t so crazy about you, I would definitely pursue you. Doesn’t matter I’ve had you many, many times tonight. I want you again. In my bed. Tomorrow night and the night after and the night after. But…I can’t do that to him. Colin’s suffered behind my selfish desires before and I won’t ever allow it to happen again. It isn’t fair to him because he’s truly a good person and he deserves to be happy.”
    “And what about you? Do you not deserve happiness?”
    Liam didn’t look at me as he lay on his stomach and stared at an atrocious Picasso he had hanging on his wall above his bed. “I don’t think I deserve happiness. I have always taken what I wanted whether it hurt someone or not. I have done anything I’ve desired and there are way too many hurt girlfriends I have left in my wake. I convince them they’re the one and they start having visions of us building a life together. Marriage, children, family
