ferociously, he growled at the driver, âTake it easy up there.â
âYes, sir.â
Though touched by Roderickâs concern for her, Lena felt compelled to defend her employerâs newest chauffeur. âItâs not his fault some Chicagoans are lousy drivers. No offense.â
âNone taken.â Roderick smiled wryly at her. âSo youâre not from Chicago?â
Lena hesitated, then answered truthfully, âNo, Iâm not.â
âAm I allowed to ask where youâre from?â
âYou can ask. Doesnât mean Iâll tell you.â
âIâll try anyway. Where are you from?â
âTransylvania.â
Roderick laughed. âTransylvania?â
âThatâs right.â She grinned.
âI wouldnât have guessed it. Especially since you donât even have a Romanian accent.â
âOh, that.â Lena shrugged dismissively. âIâve been living in the States for so long that I lost my accent.â
âI see.â Roderick nodded, playing along. âAnd what do you miss the most about, ah, Transylvania?â
âOh, thatâs easy. The scenic mountains and legendary castles.â
âYeah? Ever visited Draculaâs castle?â
âOf course. Itâs a national monument and a popular tourist attraction.â
Dropping his voice to a hushed whisper, Roderick asked, âAny sightings of the undead one?â
âNow that you mention it,â Lena whispered back conspiratorially, âI did have a chance encounter withââ
Roderick leaned closer.
And she promptly lost her train of thought.
âWell?â he prodded after several moments, his eyes glimmering with mischief. âYou had a chance encounter withâ¦?â
âI, uhâ¦â Lena floundered. Sheâd been enjoying their playful exchange so much that sheâd completely forgotten she was draped across his lap. Until he moved,and the muscles in his thighs flexed beneath her butt. She tensed, even as heat bloomed between her legs.
âLena.â There was an unspoken question in Roderickâs husky voice.
She stared at him.
He stared back.
She didnât know who moved first.
The next thing she knew their mouths were fused, tongues tangling frantically. Roderick stabbed a button on the armrest, raising the tinted privacy glass that shielded them from the driverâs view.
And then his hands were sliding up Lenaâs thighs, deftly removing her panties. Her dress rode up as she straddled his lap, a leg on each side of his waist. He ripped off his tuxedo jacket and she clawed at his shirt, desperate to get at his skin, frustrated because she couldnât wait long enough.
He gripped the straps of her dress and yanked them down, releasing her breasts with a soft bounce. She groaned at the heat of his mouth on her nipples, the wet lash of his tongue.
He unzipped his pants and reached inside, freeing himself. Lenaâs breath quickened at the sight of his long, dark penis jutting straight into the air. He dug into his pocket, pulled out a condom and tore open the foil packet with his teeth. Heâd barely covered himself before he was reaching for her again, grabbing her hips and guiding her down onto his thick erection.
She moaned with pleasure as he filled her, stretching her all the way. Her muscles convulsed and tightened around him.
He groaned, a rough, masculine sound that made her walls clench again. Already on the verge of coming, shelifted off him with a shudder, then slowly eased back down, taking him back inside her dripping wetness.
His hands gripped her butt as he began moving with deep, steady strokes. She held on to his big shoulders, her fingers digging into the hard, springy muscles beneath his shirt. Her head fell back as his greedy mouth raked over her exposed throat.
When he reached between their joined bodies and pressed his thumb against her clit, she cried out. He rubbed her
