STORY EXCERPT

Leah Moore forced herself to stop trembling as she walked into the office of MacGregor Inc. If she was going to pull this off, she couldn’t let the receptionist know she was scared out of her mind, more like terrified. She had been that way for about two weeks now, constantly looking over her shoulder, afraid to leave the house. It had to end. Last night had been the final straw. Her sore ribs were a painful reminder of just how much danger she was in.

“I need to speak with Daniel MacGregor, please,” she told the receptionist when the woman finally hung up her phone.

“I’m sorry, but do you have an appointment?”

Leah felt her bottom lip begin to tremble and her eyes prickle as she held back the tears threatening to surface. She was desperate not to show just how scared she was so she fought to keep her emotions in check. She didn’t have an appointment, but she needed Daniel. If the rumors about him and his company were true, then he was the only man she could trust with the information she had overheard. Leah didn’t know how deep the corruption went, but from the rumors, Daniel was an honest man and above corruption.

 Just act like you are the most important person in the world. Like you belong. Leah lifted her chin and gave the receptionist her best haughty look. “No, I don’t have an appointment. Just tell Mr. MacGregor that Mrs. Moore from the U.S. Embassy is here and I need to speak with him about an important matter. I’m not leaving until I do.”

Without giving the receptionist time to respond, Leah walked over to one of the chairs and sat. She crossed her legs and laid her hands in her lap like she didn’t have a care in the world. Too bad she felt like her stomach was in her throat and her ribs were screaming in pain at the moment. If Daniel MacGregor refused to help her then she was screwed. At this moment, the rest of her life was in his hands.

After what felt like an eternity, when all Leah wanted to do was curl up on the floor and whimper from the pain, the office door at the end of the hall opened. She sat up straighter in her seat and watched as a man stepped out. He looked to be about five eleven. Not overly tall, but what the man lacked in height, he definitely made up in width. Leah’s eyes widened at how thick the man was. He had to weigh every bit of two hundred and fifty pounds. The closer he got, she could see that his stocky frame was all muscle, judging by the way his arms were bulging from his crisp, white, button-down shirt. The aura of danger preceded the man and Leah just about swallowed her tongue at the unhappy look on his face. If this was Daniel MacGregor, then she prayed she hadn’t been the one to put that look there by showing up without an appointment and demanding to see him.

When the man marched straight to her and stood directly in front of her, crossing his massive arms over his chest and glaring, Leah knew her prayers had gone unanswered. Sighing, she rubbed her sweaty palms on her skirt and stood, trying her best not to wince at the motion. She held her hand out. “I’m Leah Moore.”

“Daniel MacGregor,” he said, wrapping her hand with his.

Despite his size, Daniel’s grip was firm yet gentle. Leah was grateful because the way his hand swallowed hers whole, he could have done some serious damage. She tried her best not to squirm when she tried to pull her hand back, but Daniel refused to let it go. Leah could feel the color creeping into her cheeks when he just stared without saying anything. She wasn’t sure what he finally saw, but he nodded and let go.

“Follow me.”

Without even a backward glance to see if she had followed his command, Daniel turned and headed back the way he came. Leah followed closely behind, not wanting to miss her chance to talk to him. She stepped into his office and stood to the side as he closed the door behind them. She eyed the comfortable-looking sofa in the corner and wondered if he would get upset if she curled into it and took a quick nap. Leah was so tired she could barely see straight. Aside from the pain, knowledge of what she had overheard and then all of the threats had kept her from sleeping more than an hour or two at a time.

“Have a seat.”

Leah saw Daniel motion to one of the chairs in front of his desk as he made his way around to the other side. She sighed with longing, giving the couch one last look, before sitting where he indicated.

“So, Leah Moore,” Daniel started. “Twenty-seven years old, single, you’ve worked as an interpreter for the U.S. Embassy for the past two years, graduated top of your class in college and high school. You live alone. No pets. No siblings. You’re a small-town girl with a mother and father back at home still living in the same house you were born and grew up in. Oh, and you had one speeding ticket when you were twenty-one, but it was cleared from your record when you attended traffic school. Did I miss anything?”

Dumbfounded, Leah could only stare at Daniel. She knew her mouth was opening and closing like a fish out of water, but for the life of her, she couldn’t get a sound to come out. Daniel MacGregor was one scary man. If she didn’t need his help so badly, Leah would have been running out the door and straight home to hide under her bed. The boogeyman had nothing on Daniel, in her opinion.

“No need to be so shocked.” Daniel smirked. “You didn’t really think I would let you barge in here demanding to see me without knowing everything there was to know about you, did you? What did you think I was doing while you sat out there waiting?”

ADULT EXCERPT

Leah shoved her fist in her mouth and bit down to keep from screaming as she watched Daniel’s head lower toward her spread thighs. The fact that his face was so close to her lower half should have had her legs trying to clap shut. Instead she had to fight to keep her hips from hitching at his rough words. No one had ever talked dirty to her and Leah realized she loved it. The words had sent shivers down her spine at the thought of him doing exactly what he said he was going to do.

Leah wasn’t a virgin, but she couldn’t say she was experienced either. Her few bumbling attempts in high school didn’t even compare to what Daniel had done to her so far. She hadn’t seen the big deal about sex then and eventually decided that she could do without, but now she realized that with just his mouth, Daniel had shown her the difference between a boy and a man.

The feel of fingers parting her lower lips had Leah snapping out of her thoughts. She felt Daniel’s warm breath seconds before his mouth sealed over her clit. Leah ignored the pain in her ribs as her hips arched off the bed from the contact. She wailed behind her fist at the sensation of his mouth on her. Nothing in her lifetime had ever felt so good and she was on the brink of orgasm in seconds. She could feel her pussy clench as Daniel used his tongue to trace it from the top to bottom. Leah brought the hand from her mouth and used it to grip the sheets while she used the other to grab Daniel’s head. She had no idea if it was to pull him away or push him closer because all cognitive thought seemed to have fled. Daniel’s touch was like lightning striking, sending small electric shocks all over her body as the electricity built to the point that she was about to explode.

Leah knew the orgasm was going to be huge and wasn’t disappointed when she detonated. Her back arched and she opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out as she squeezed her eyes shut and rode the pleasure out until she was left as nothing but a quivering mass on the bed.

Daniel didn’t let up his assault. He continued to swirl his tongue around her clit until Leah became too sensitive. “Daniel, stop,” she panted. “I can’t take anymore. It’s too much.” He lifted his head and gave her a knowing grin. In her opinion, the man deserved the smug grin on his face.

Leah couldn’t even bring herself to close her legs when Daniel rose up and moved away. She would have been happy to stay where she was forever, but Daniel had other plans. He leaned over and pulled a condom out of his jeans before using his huge hand to roll her over. Leah heard the crinkle of the condom wrapper as she lay on her stomach, anticipating what the large man covering her back was about to do to her. Her body shivered and despite her recent explosive orgasm, she could feel her body readying itself for him. She wanted him inside her as soon as possible.

“I’ll try my best to be gentle with you, honey, but you make me crazy. I want nothing more than to pound my rock hard cock into you over and over again until we both scream.”

Leah had to swallow before she could speak. She almost lost her train of thought when she felt the blunt head of Daniel’s cock at her entrance, but she was competent enough to get two words out. “Do it,” she mumbled.

Permission given, Daniel surged into her with one long, slow thrust. Leah moaned and panted at the invasion as her pussy stretched to accommodate him. Daniel was a large man and his cock was no exception.

“God, you feel so good. So tight stretched around my cock. I could stay buried inside you all day,” Daniel said through gritted teeth above her.

Leah had to agree with him. She wanted him inside her forever. She welcomed his weight above her, but she needed him to move. She flexed her hips and Daniel seemed to take the hint because she felt his hips lift from hers before he slammed into her again. The only thing Leah could do at that point was scream as he set a fast, punishing pace of slamming into her over and over. She was glad she was flat on her belly because she didn’t think her knees would have held up with the way he powered into her. His wide cock seemed to stroke everything inside her as the head of his cock bumped into the spot inside her pussy that she had always thought a myth. The pleasure was almost unbearable, but Leah could feel the walls of her pussy tightening as her orgasm approached.
