Chapter 2 - Secrets

Katherine's POV

He pulled me to himself the moment we got inside the hotel room. I wondered if he had been staying there already as we had walked in without booking a room.

"Wild cat," he grinned, his breath teasing my neck as he pulled me closer.

"Cute boy," I grinned. I had almost called him gorgeous bad news.

His eyes flashed at me and he took my lips in his as he bent his head. My knees went soft as he kissed me.

Damn, he was good. I moaned as I wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him back.

He moved me till I was against the door and kissed me deeper. I didn't want him to stop kissing me. I wanted more and sighed with elation when he slid his tongue into my mouth, seeking mine.

His hands roamed over my curvy figure and I shivered as I leaned closer into him. He slipped his hands under my shirt and fondled my breasts through my bra. He began to unbutton the shirt and soon it was off my skin, lying on the ground.

He continued kissing me as he unzipped my skirt and pulled it down. Soon, my bra and panties were off and I stood gloriously naked before him.

I felt self-conscious that I was naked and he was fully dressed and leaned closer, trying to undress him.

"Hands off," he barked at me.

I felt stung at the way he growled at me but the hurt didn't last long as I noticed the heat in his eyes. His eyes roamed all over my body, hot with desire.

I didn't mind anymore that he didn't want me to touch him. It was a one-night stand after all. I didn't have to be sentimental. I knew most people loved to keep things impersonal. I shouldn't think too much of this and just enjoy the moment. It wasn't like I was going to see him again after this.

He pulled me up, wrapped my legs around his waist and placed his hands under my butt and squeezed them as he walked towards the bed, his mouth still ravaging mine.

He dropped me gently on the bed and straightened up, removing his clothes. The clothes were off in a jiffy and I wondered how frequently he had done this.

Snap out of it, Katherine. I rebuked myself. It wasn't like I hadn't had my fair share of one-night stands as well.

There was something about him that made me want him for myself but I couldn't afford to think that way. He was going to forget about me before the week was over, just as I was.

He got back on bed and leaned over me, his mouth seeking mine again.

I writhed with passion as he dipped his hand under my body and went still as his fingers found my clit and started playing with it.

"Oh!" I gasped, feeling a ton of delight course through me.

He kept on rubbing my clit, going faster till I felt my breath cease. I screamed as I let go, feeling my orgasm sweep through me.

He pulled my hips up and poised himself over my core, looking into my eyes.

"Condom," I reminded him.

"I'm clean." He said.

"Me too." I smiled. I wasn't going to let us stop here anyway.

He nodded and plunged his groin all the way in. I gasped as he filled me completely, arching my back and wrapped my hands around his back.

He groaned as he kept thrusting into me and I moaned louder, wriggling my waist as I urged him to go deeper.

He went still and groaned as he orgasmed and I screamed as I felt my orgasm tearing through me again.

"How was my wild dance in here?" I asked as he rolled over.

"Better than expected." He smiled, heading to the shower.

I glowed with pride as I snuggled into bed and closed my eyes, feeling a much-needed sleep catch up to me.

"When did you get home that night?" Angela asked as we hung out two nights after at our favorite restaurant.

"It wasn't late before I got home." I lied.

She would kill me if she knew I had sex with that man and didn't get home until dawn the next day.

"Good." She nodded and checked her watch. "Why isn't Lisa here yet?"

"She might be stuck in traffic."

"At this time?"

"I'm here." Lisa announced as she walked towards us.

"Why were you late?" Angela asked.

"I had to do a late-minute review for one of my juniors." Lisa answered.

"Thank goodness you are here." Angela smiled.

"Me too." I added. "I'm starving."

They both looked at me in surprise, like I had grown horns.

"What?"

"You didn't wait for us to beg you to eat tonight." Angela explained. "I was already thinking of what I would have to say to get you to eat."

I shrugged. "I had a super hectic day at work. My appetite is awakened."

"You are glowing. It doesn't look like you had a hectic day."

A night of good sex would do that to someone but I wasn't about to tell them that.

I shrugged. "It must be the new skin care lotion I just got."

Fortunately, the waiter walked to our table and saved me from getting quizzed by the ladies.

We placed our orders and started talking, catching up on our lives as we always do whenever we meet up which was three times a week.

I wondered what my life would be without them and shuddered. We had been friends since high school and the girls were like family to me.

They knew all of my escapades and it was killing me that I couldn't tell them about the great sex I had. I dared not, when they had warned me.

I knew already what would happen if I did. Angela would launch into series of lectures and Lisa would shake her head in amusement, reminding me that my wild life would be the death of me one day.

"I heard you will be handling the Osten project." Angela smiled at me as she forked a piece of steak into her mouth.

"Really?" Lisa asked, her eyes widening. "That is a huge thing. It would go a long way to help your career."

I nodded and smiled. "Yes. I got the mail this morning. How did you know already though?"

"I have a friend in the planning team in your company." Angela explained.

I nodded. Rumors flew easily in our industry.

"Congratulations." Lisa said.

"Congratulations," Angela nodded. "You deserve it. You've worked your ass off in that company for as long as I can remember."

"You think she is going to get a promotion?" Lisa asked, smiling at Angela.

Angela nodded. "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't deny her one if I were her boss."

I had waited for that promotion for so long that I was eager to start work on the Osten project in the next two months so I could get what I deserved ages ago. I couldn't wait for my life to change.

If only I had known how drastically my life would change, I would have been more careful while making that wish.
