Chapter 29: Filthy Rich Bosses: Chapter 29

I can’t tear my eyes away from Tessa. She’s exquisite, nestled between Chase and Cole on the couch. The warm lamplight casts a golden glow on her skin, highlighting the sharp angles of her jaw and the fullness of her lips. My mouth goes dry as I watch Chase trail his fingers along her collarbone.

‘We all need you too much for you to leave,’ Chase murmurs, nuzzling her neck.

Tessa’s eyes flutter closed, a soft sigh escaping her. ‘Mmm…’

My fists clench at my sides. I’ve never wanted to share a woman before. The thought of another man touching someone I desired always filled me with white-hot jealousy. But this…this is different. Seeing her with my two best friends isn’t dampening my want—it’s fanning the flames higher.

Cole’s hand slides up her thigh, dipping into her pretty pink folds for just a moment. ‘Tell us what you want, spitfire.’

I swallow hard, fighting the urge to join them. To taste her skin, to feel her tremble beneath my touch.

‘I want…’ Tessa’s voice is breathy. Her eyes open, rolling back in her head. ‘I want more.’

My heart pounds. Chase grins, patting the space beside him. ‘What do you say, Gray? Care for a taste?’

Cole’s hand comes down with a sharp smack on her rear. Tessa moans, her body jerking forward.

‘Now, now,’ Cole’s voice is low, dangerous. ‘I think we need to address something first, don’t we, spitfire?’

Cole’s fingers tangle in Tessa’s hair, pulling her head back gently. ‘Our little runaway here was planning to leave without so much as a goodbye. Naughty girl.’

My stomach drops. But why? I thought everything was good…that she wanted to be here.

‘I don’t understand,’ I mutter, more to myself than anyone else. ‘What severance?’

She bites her lip, refusing to meet my gaze. The silence stretches, broken only by the sound of Cole’s hand connecting with her ass again.

I clear my throat, finding my voice. ‘Ask her…ask her about the severance.’

Cole nods, his grip on Tessa’s hair tightening slightly. ‘You heard the man. What’s this about severance?’

Tessa’s eyes flutter closed for a moment before she speaks. ‘Juniper was pretty clear about what Grayson wanted. I figured it was best to make a clean break.’

The words hit me like a punch to the gut. Juniper?

I clench my fists, feeling a wave of anger wash over me. How dare she? How dare Juniper? I look at Cole and Chase, seeing the same fire in their eyes that I feel burning in my chest.

‘You were going to leave just because Juniper said so?’ I growl, taking a step closer. ‘Without even talking to us?’

Tessa’s chin lifts defiantly, but I can see the uncertainty in her eyes. ‘I thought it was for the best. I didn’t want to cause any more trouble.’

‘Trouble?’ Chase scoffs. ‘Sweetheart, you have no idea what trouble is.’

I can’t take it anymore. The thought of her leaving, of never seeing her again, it’s too much. Before I know what I’m doing, I’m surging forward, my hand tangling in her hair. I pull her head back, forcing her to look me in the eyes.

‘Juniper doesn’t speak for me,’ I say, my voice low and intense. ‘I want you here. I want you in my home. I want you in my life. I want…’ I hesitate for a moment, lost in the depths of her stormy eyes. ‘I want you.’

And then I’m kissing her, pouring all my frustration, desire, and need into the kiss. Her lips are soft against mine, and for a moment, I forget everything else. It’s just me and Tessa, and the electric current running between us.

When I finally pull back, I’m breathing hard. ‘Do you understand now?’ I ask, searching her face for a response.

I’m about to speak again when I feel hands at my waist. Chase, ever the opportunist, has slipped behind me and is working at my belt buckle. His fingers deftly pop open the button of my slacks.

‘Chase,’ I warn, swatting his hands away.

He chuckles, warm breath tickling my ear. ‘Just trying to help.’

I roll my eyes, but can’t help the small smile tugging at my lips. Trust Chase to lighten even the most intense moments.

Turning my attention back to Tessa, I’m struck again by her beauty. Those piercing eyes, that pouty mouth.

Without breaking eye contact, I grasp her arms and pull her off the couch. She stumbles slightly, and I steady her, guiding her to her knees before me.

‘Show me you want to stay,’ I command, my voice husky with desire. ‘Take my cock out.’

I watch the internal struggle play out on her face. The defiance, the desire, the uncertainty—it’s all there, clear as day. For a moment, I think she might refuse.

But then her small, strong hands are at my zipper, and I have to stifle a groan. As she frees me from my boxers, I can’t help but think how right this feels. How right she feels.

‘That’s it, Tessa,’ I murmur, running my fingers through her hair. ‘Good girl.’

I watch, entranced, as she parts her plump lips. Slowly, agonizingly, she engulfs the head of my cock, her tongue flicking out to taste me. I bite back a moan, my fists clenching tighter.

Her warm breath against my shaft is enough to make me lose my composure, but I refuse to go down without a fight. This is my game, and I am the one in control.

‘That’s it, Tessa,’ I rasp, unable to keep my voice from wavering ever so slightly. ‘Take it.’

Cole’s hands land on her shoulders, guiding her backward until he can access what he wants. He grips her neck and thrusts forward. She yelps in surprise as Coles enters her from behind, hard and fast. Her eyes fly open, and our gazes lock.

‘Oh, fuck,’ she moans, and it sends a shiver straight to my core.

Cole’s breathing is ragged in her ear, his grip on her throat gentle but unyielding. ‘You’re doing so well, Tessa. Now, wrap those pretty lips around Grayson’s cock.’

I brace myself. Preparing for her refusal.

Instead, she does as she’s told.

Tessa’s soft, warm mouth engulfs me, and it’s…it’s a revelation. It’s all I can do not to thrust myself deeper into her sweet warmth.

‘That’s it, baby,’ Cole pants, thumb rubbing circles on Tessa’s pulse point. ‘Suck his cock like the good girl you are.’

And as I watch, I wonder how I ever lived without this.

Without her.

Without them.

I watch the pleasure flit across her face as Cole pounds into her. I watch as Chase can’t take his eyes off of her, completely mesmerized, smitten. And, for the first time in a long time, I feel whole.

I moan as Tessa’s tongue swirls around me. My fingers tangle in her hair, guiding her movements. Cole’s thrusts become erratic, his grip on Tessa tightening.

‘Fuck, I’m close,’ he grunts.

I feel Tessa tense, her lips vibrating around me as she whimpers. Cole throws his head back, a low growl escaping his throat as he comes.

‘Such a good girl,’ he murmurs, voice husky with satisfaction.

I can’t take it anymore. I need her. All of her.

‘Come here,’ I growl, pulling Tessa to her feet.

Her legs are shaky, her eyes wild with desire. I sit on the couch, guiding her toward me. She straddles my lap, her skin flushed and glistening with sweat. I can feel the heat radiating from her core as she hovers over me.

‘Grayson,’ she whispers, a question in her voice.

‘I want you, Tessa. All of you.’

She nods, lowering herself slowly. I can feel the tip of my cock brush against her wetness. My breath catches in anticipation.

And then—

‘WHAT THE FUCK!’

We freeze. My heart pounds as I turn toward the voice, dreading what I’ll see.
