Resisting Her Read online

  While she was deep in thought trying to figure out how to even approach the subject she felt the warmth of Bennet’s hand creeping up her thigh, under her skirt! She looked down in shock and then whipped her head around to face him. His eyes were piercing, staring at her as if he wanted to devour her.

  She couldn’t look away from him, his full lips were begging to be kissed. His hand continued to climb higher as he slid his body closer to hers never breaking their eye contact. His hand grazed the edge of her panties and she gasped, grabbing his forearm to stop him she tried to push him away but he simply kept his hand planted and slowly shook his head no.

  She looked frantically at Stuart who was busy minding his own business driving the car. Bennet didn’t seem to mind and continued to stroke her through her through her now wet panties. His gaze was still on her as his fingers moved to the edge of her panties. He leaned forward and sucked her bottom lip into her mouth,

  “Don't fucking move" his finger slipped past the lace and began stroking her bare, slick folds. She sucked in a sharp breath of air and grabbed the sleeve of his coat.

  “That's it baby just enjoy it, in a minute I’m going to lick your juices off my fingers so get them nice and wet for me." She couldn’t believe this was happening, they were sitting at a red light and the car next to them was filled with people laughing and dancing to the music that was blaring.

  She could feel it building, he was taking her to the edge and she was about to slip over into complete bliss. Just before she reached climax he discreetly pulled his fingers from her and slipped them into his mouth.

  She watched with her mouth hanging open as he sensually licked every drop of her from his fingers like he was savoring the flavor.

  He leaned over and kissed her softly, "Sorry about that sweetheart I just couldn’t resist. I needed dessert." He winked and placed his hand back on her thigh like nothing had happened just as the car pulled up in front of the building.

  Bennet helped Maddie out of the car as usual only this time he didn’t remove his hand from her lower back as they walked towards the elevator.

  "Thanks for dinner, you really didn’t need to pay for me. I mean you already let me live here for free even though I’ve tried to pay you several times."

  “You're welcome but you don’t need to thank me and I certainly don’t need the money. I’m happy to provide you with a place."

  "Oh speaking of which, I spoke to the management company that owns my building and they said that my apartment should be ready within a month so I’ll finally be out of your hair."

  Bennet’s demeanor seemed to change a bit, "Well that’s great news then." He said curtly as the elevator opened and he ushered her inside the house. His mood changed immediately, Maddie sensed it but wasn’t about to ask what was wrong so instead she put her head down and headed quietly to her room.

  She had been tempted to tell Jazmine about her more intimate interactions with Bennet but in the end decided she’d rather keep things to herself. She had never been very open about her sex life even with her best friend, she just felt some things were more private.

  She had often fantasized about certain desires even when she had been intimate with her college boyfriend. She wondered what it would be like to be with a man who was in control, who knew exactly what he wanted and wasn’t afraid to take it. She had found that in Bennet, she knew he could pleasure her in ways she never imagine but she also knew he could completely turn her world upside down.

  The next morning work resumed as normal…in a sense. She was still commuting to the same company but today was her first day in the new position. Bennet had told her to meet in his office at 10:00 AM, she stood outside his door making small talk with Janice while he finished up a call. Maddie was looking at photos of Janice’s new puppy when the door swung open and Bennet ushered her in.

  Chapter 19

  So how are you liking the new role? I am so happy you decided to take it. I mean I know it was scary but sometimes that’s exactly what you need to take that next big step in life." Jazmine shimmied into her leggings as Maddie pulled her long hair into a high top knot.

  "Well it’s only been three days but so far so good. Bennet had to go to New York the day I started but my old boss Mr. Thomas has been extremely helpful."

  "Is the living situation still going ok?" Maddie couldn’t help but flash back to images of herself in Bennet’s lap as he assaulted her mouth.

  "Yeah, fine. Actually my apartment is supposed to be ready this month so that’s good news! It’s only been like four solid months now that I’ve been homeless, way to go Chicago!”

  "God Damon kicked my ass tonight!" Maddie was bent over trying to catch her breath. He had put the girls through a lot of drills and jump rope work tonight to get their hear rate up.

  "No kidding I can’t lift my arms." Jazmine laid down on the bench in the locker room. "Are we still on for tonight? Pizza and wine at my place?"

  "Yes please!" That was just the inspiration Maddie needed to get up off the floor she had sunk down on and get ready to leave.

  The girls ate their pizza and sipped their wine as the night went on. "So how are things with Ethan? You guys doing ok?"

  "Same old, same old…that sounded bad, it’s going great. Same old is good for me, I like the routine. He’s been getting more regularly scheduled hours at the hospital which has been nice and we’ve even been able to plan a small weekend getaway in April." Jazmine took a large bite of her slice of pizza as Maddie smiled.

  "Oh that’s great news! Twenty bucks he proposes on the triiiiiip." Both girls burst out laughing.

  "Uh no we are not getting married anytime soon! We have a lifetime of med school debt yet to work on."

  The night got later and Maddie decided to sleep on the couch since she’d had a few glasses of wine and didn’t feel like dealing with an Uber at this hour. She had just brushed her teeth when her phone pinged with a text from Bennet

  You ok? Got home early and you weren’t home. Maddie smiled to herself as butterflies danced in her stomach.

  Hey there, I’m staying at Jazmine’s. I’m sorry I didn’t leave a note. I didn’t expect you to return tonight. He explained that it wasn’t anything to apologize for he was just worried but glad to hear she was safe.

  Maddie woke up early the next morning and took the train back to Bennet’s house. The elevator door opened and she stepped into the entryway just as Bennet was walking down the hall in his workout hear. A big smile spread across his face.

  "Just in time! Go change and put on your tennis shoes." Maddie groaned and dropped her bag.

  "How about no, I stayed up late and got up early…and may have had more than two glasses of wine."

  "So a run is exactly what you need, so go get your clothes on…NOW." Dammit how did he have this control over her! She rolled her eyes and scurried off to her room to change.

  She may not have wanted to go running at 7:00 AM on a Saturday morning but she was determined to prove to Bennet she could keep up. She had been running regularly since high school and the recent addition of boxing to her routine had increased her aerobic capability significantly.

  They ran out and back on the lake front and ended up in a grassy patch to stretch out. "Not bad for being hungover and the size of a middle schooler." Maddie turned around slowly.

  "Uh excuse me? I wasn't hungover and I may be small but I’m quick and strong so don’t mess with me!" She tried to sound tough but realized she was like a Chihuahua talking to a pit bull right now.

  Bennet threw his head back and laughed, "whatever you say pipsqueak, let’s stretch." She playfully punched his arm before launching into a series of stretches to keep her muscles limber.

  "You want to stop at Whole Foods on the way back and make brunch at home?" The way he casually said the statement made Maddie wonder for just a moment how it would be to be in a relationship with him…is this how it would be? Casual "brunch dates" at home? She was lost in thought when he slipped his ar
m around her shoulders.

  "Maddie?" Hearing her name brought her out of her daydream.

  "Yeah that sounds great I’m starving!"

  Maddie slipped on a pair of lounge shorts and an oversized t-shirt and headed out to the kitchen. Bennet was already getting started on brunch, making mimosas and slicing a large loaf of sourdough bread.

  "So what’s on the menu? I see mimosas?"

  "Well mine is technically a “manmosa” but yes." He winked. I knew you like avocado toast so I was getting started on that and maybe some fruit with yogurt and granola?"

  "That sounds delicious, I’ll get started on the fruit." She said as she grabbed her mimosa and headed to the sink to prep the fruit.

  They spent the morning chatting about Bennet’s trip to New York and Maddie’s new position. She told him what Vincent had shown her through the week and how nice Janice had been helping her get acclimated in her new office. She hadn’t started interviewing anyone yet but was confident in the next few weeks she would feel ready to start interviewing candidates for her team. Bennet smiled at the change in her demeanor when speaking about the job. She blossomed overnight it seemed into an ambitious go-getter ready to take on the world.

  As he listened to her speak he couldn’t help but let his eyes wander over her face. She had big blue eyes and full pouty lips that begged to be kissed. She had such delicate and petite features all engulfed in long, natural blonde curls. He couldn’t imagine how she was single or how he had been so lucky to meet her. She was nothing like most of the women in his circle—superficial and out to find a Mr. Right to support their financial habits.

  The conversation had died down but Bennet was still staring at her intently. "You owe me an answer." She turned her head to face him as she placed her empty glass on the counter.

  "I do?" She knew exactly what he was referring to but hoped playing coy would buy her some time. It didn’t work, he pushed her glass and plate aside and then turned her stool to face his. Without warning he hoisted her on top of the counter and maneuvered his body between her thighs.

  "Mmmhmmm and I think it’s time I collect that answer…with interest." His hands slid up her thighs and around her backside cupping her and pulling her closer to him. "These little shorts are very tempting, how is a man to think straight when you’re parading around here in them?"

  She never knew what to do when he took over her, she just knew she wanted him. Bennet’s hand slipped up her neck and into her hair, he pulled her mouth to his and began to slowly kiss her. This time she let her body do the thinking, she closed her eyes, shut off her mind and let her guard down. Her hands reached out and entangled themselves in his hair as she leaned into the kiss. She wrapped her legs around his back and pulled him in closer as she kissed him back with passion. Suddenly he broke the kiss and pulled her hands from his hair.

  “I'm done waiting Madeline," he pulled her off the counter with her legs still wrapped around himself and walked down the hall towards his bedroom.

  Chapter 20

  Maddie’s heart was pounding as he slid her down his body and shut the bedroom door. The room was awash with shadowed light from the city. She glanced around the room and walked slowly over to the floor to ceiling windows to take in the view. She could feel the warmth pouring off Bennet’s chest as he walked up behind her.

  He moved her hair to one side and began to slowly kiss his way from her shoulder, up her neck to her mouth. His hand engulfed her neck as his tongue slipped in and out of her mouth. Her hips seemed to move with a mind of their own, pressing back onto his firm cock. Finally he turned her around to face him, he seemed to study her face in the moonlight. He took her hand and lead her over to the edge of the large king sized bed.

  His hands began to explore her body, moving from her waist to under her shirt. He grabbed the hem and lifted it over her head exposing her sheer white lace bra, her hardened nipples poking through but he didn’t stop. Very slowly he untied the drawstring on her shorts and slid them down her hips to reveal her matching white lacy panties.

  His green eyes glowed with an intensity she had never seen, he looked as though he wanted to eat her alive, consume her body and soul. She reached out a hand to his shirt but he brushed it aside.

  Slowly he began kissing her again starting with her lips, moving down to her neck and chest before he pushed her back onto the bed. She propped herself up on her elbows as he kissed and licked his way around the lace edges of her bra, gently pulling a cup down to bite at her nipple. She moaned as her head fell back, he had barely touched her and she was losing control. He continued to kiss her body moving down to her stomach and waist licking and trailing his fingers over her as he went.

  He reached the apex of her thighs and she let out a gasp. She could fee his warm breath through the lace of her panties and he planted kisses directly on her mound. His full body exploration continued with kissing and touching down to her toes. Once complete he stood and reached behind her to unhook her bra. Dragging the straps slowly down her arms he revealed her full breasts and pert nipples to himself. Not taking the time to admire them he hooked his fingers in her panties and proceeded to drag them down her legs, discarding them on the floor. She was now completely naked and fully exposed to him.

  He stood up fully to admire her, running his hand over his mouth and chin he felt like he was visibly salivating. Maddie was surprisingly calm, she felt very exposed having him stare at her like he was but the excitement and desire she had for him overpowered any fears or doubts in this moment.

  "I want you to relax and let me enjoy you for a while ok? I want my mouth on every single inch of you." He said as he bent his head and took her entire nipple in his mouth.

  Her back arched off the bed as he sucked and licked his way across her breasts, moving from one to the other devouring them with ferocity. He placed his hand under her lower back and pressed her even further into his mouth. Her hands plunged into his hair as he pulled his mouth off of her.

  “Don't move." He dropped to his knees beside the bed and slid his hands down her inner thighs, opening them up to himself.

  Maddie’s heart was racing, she had never had a man expose her and stare so intently at her private parts! Bennet could sense the apprehension in her body as she tensed under his touch, "Just relax Maddie, I’m going to make you feel so good."

  He began by kissing softly on her inner knee, alternating kisses with licks and bites. She could already feel wetness building, she closed her eyes and let the feelings wash over her. His kisses and licks were growing in intensity until he reached the apex of her thighs, he inhaled deeply taking in her scent. He let out a low growl as he spread her thighs wider and slowly licked her wet folds. His tongued danced across her clit, teasing and arousing her even further. She gripped the sheets as her back arched again.

  "Fuck baby, your pussy taste amazing." Bennet grabbed her thighs and spread her even further kissing her as if he were kissing her mouth. She pulled her shoulders off the bed to watch him devour her, his eyes were closed as he gripped her thighs and lost himself in her most intimate places. Suddenly the intensity was too much, her legs began to shake and her shoulders fell back on the bed. Bennet held her in place with his strong hands as she thrashed and moaned in ecstasy as the orgasm rocked her body.

  Her heart was still racing as he gently closed her legs and kissed his way back up her body. "Mmmm thank you," he said as he nuzzled her neck. She made an unintelligible sound in response, not able to yet form thoughts or words. His laugh was a low rumble against her neck.

  “You're still clothed?" She had finally come back down to earth and registered that he was still dressed.

  "Yes I am. I knew if I didn’t keep my clothes on I wouldn’t be able to control myself." He brushed her hair away from her face as he studied her face.

  "I told you I’m taking things slow, I want you to be relaxed and enjoy all the naughty things I want to do to you. Trust me I get just as much pleasure out of it as you do." He conti
nued to run his fingers over her naked body as if he were trying to memorize it.

  "Hey we should talk about…this." She said timidly

  "This?" He didn’t stop what he was doing.

  "Yeah…I feel like it should be kept separate from our professional relationship." She wasn’t even sure what ‘this' was but she knew she wanted to maintain her independence in her career and sleeping with the boss wasn’t going to do her any favors, especially among her coworkers. He ran his hand through his hair.

  “I want to keep things separate…completely. I would like my work life and personal life to be two worlds that do not collide and I’d like things to stay between us.” She said nervously but matter-of-factly.

  A smile spread across Bennet’s face, “You mean I can’t call you into my office and bend you over my desk to fuck you?” Maddie gasped and turned a tomato shade of red.

  He continued on, “What if I just want to sit you on my desk and spread those beautiful thighs of yours? Have you for dessert, no?”

  “This is not fair! And exactly what I mean!” Maddie was embarrassed but incredibly turned on at the same time.

  Bennet laughed and assured her that he would be the utmost gentleman at work, respect her boundaries and not tempt her to ‘misbehave.’

  “I just know the reaction that I got from my coworkers when you put me on the Larson file I can’t imagine the reaction if they found out I was sleeping with you let alone living with you…WAIT! Do they know I’m living her temporarily?” She panicked, realizing this thought had never occurred to her until now.

  “Well I haven’t said anything so I assume no. We usually arrive before everyone else and leave after they’re gone and I don’t tend to share my personal life details with my employees.”

  Bennet got up from the bed and ran both hands through his well tousled hair, “I think I’m going to take a shower and get some work done. I’m a little behind with my trip to New York last week.”
