Mr. Big Shot: An Enemies To Lovers Romance (Kinda Cocky Book 1), стр. 34
“Children?”
“Yeah, sure, if my husband wants them.”
“But you don’t want them?”
I shrugged. “I guess I’ve never really given it much thought.”
“What if someone wanted to have children with you right now?”
I giggled. “You offering?”
He gave me a deadpan stare. “Karina.”
“Sorry. Just a joke. Um, if they wanted kids right now? I’d have to say ‘no.’ I’m not financially prepared for a family, nor do I even have my own place. My life needs to be settled before I bring another life into it. You know?”
Zane nodded. “Yep, I know.”
“What about you? Where do you see yourself in ten years?”
“Happy.”
His statement shocked me. “Are you not happy now?”
“Not entirely… not in the way I want to be.”
His answer hung between us the rest of the way to the fish shack. And it wasn’t until we sat down that my mind hopped back into the present.
“So, what is your one major goal for this trip?” I asked again.
“Do you want to take a walk on the beach after we eat?”
I blinked. “Is there a reason why you don’t want to talk about work right now?”
“Yes. There is.”
I lifted both my brows. “Are you going to let me in on the secret?”
And when his eyes met mine, I could’ve sworn I saw fire igniting behind them.
“No. I’m not,” he said.
Our waiter came over to take our orders. All the while, his answer was driving me absolutely crazy.

Zane
Ever since she stepped out of that bungalow in that fucking dress she had on, I couldn't stop staring. Couldn’t stop watching her. Couldn’t stop remembering just how gorgeous she was underneath all of it. The dress framed her perfectly. The skirt fluttered around her legs with every crash of the waves, and her hair blew against her face with every puff of wind. Somehow, through all of it, she looked more beautiful than the night we first met.
I’m in big trouble.
I hardly paid attention to her words during dinner. I almost didn’t catch her cute little head-nod after I asked her to take a walk on the beach with me. There we were. Holding our shoes, walking along the sand back to our private slice of beach, and feeling the warmth of the sun as it began to set.
We’d sat there from lunchtime until sundown. Eating, drinking, and enjoying one another.
Without a bit of attention going to work.
“You were right,” Karina said.
I turned toward her. “How so?”
She thumbed over her shoulder. “That place had some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. Thank you for taking me there.”
“Thank you for accompanying me.”
“Though, you didn’t really have to pay. I could’ve afforded it.”
I shrugged. “Company trip. The business paid for it.”
“Well, yeah, I suppose so.”
Her gaze flickered out toward the sunset, but I was too busy watching it in her eyes. The smell of saltwater enticed me, pulling me closer to her. The fluttering of her skirt against her legs made me want to feel their smoothness. The smell of her exotic body spray enticed my senses while the whole of her enticed my soul.
Doesn’t this woman know what she does to me?
“It’s beautiful out here,” she said breathlessly.
I kept staring at her. “Yes, it is.”
Her eyes met mine. “Zane?”
I nodded. “Yes, Karina?”
“Do you…?”
I cocked my head. “Do I what?”
“Nothing… Never mind…”
I gripped her chin, turning her eyes back to me. “Do. I. What?”
She swallowed hard. “Ever think about that night?”
“Yes, and more than I should as your boss,” I answered as my cock pulsed. There was no way in hell I’d be able to focus on work with her looking like that.
Being like that.
Smelling like that.
And talking like that.
Before I could talk myself out of it, my lips fell to hers. A soft, tantalizing kiss that drew our bodies together, closing the distance between us. Her arms wrapped around me, gripping the back of my shirt. My shoes fell from my hands, landing against the soft sand as our bodies sank down to the earth’s pillow beneath us. I rolled her over onto her back, letting my tongue slide across the roof of her mouth. I tasted her cocktails. Those pink cotton candy martinis with a splash of olive juice. The taste of shrimp cocktail lingered against her lips as I raked my teeth along her lower one. And as the waves lapped at our toes, I felt her legs spread for me.
She welcomed me with her warmth.
“Zane,” she sighed.
I kissed down her neck. “I want you so bad.”
“Then, you have me. You have me, Zane.”
God, even she’s wanted me this badly.
I kissed down the soft valley of her breasts as I shoved her dress skirt up her body. My fingertips caressed the skin of her thigh, drinking in its softness. I reached down and pulled out my cock. No time to get undressed. No time to think. I knew what I needed, and I needed her.
I also needed to be able to focus on work.
After. After this, I can focus on work.
Her moans greeted my ears as I slid my cock between her folds. I looked up, watching her face contort with salacious pleasure as her wetness streaked along my dick. I bottomed out inside of her, feeling her walls pulsing around me, fluttering and squeezing as if she were already about to fall off the edge. I slowly slid out, pressing my hands into the sand. I felt her shiver as I planted myself onto my knees, hovering above her.
“Zane,” she hissed.
I grinned as I tossed her legs over my shoulders.
“Yeah?” I asked.
Her eyes bulged. “Oh, God, yes.”
I growled. “You always feel too good to pass up.”
I pounded against her body, watching her dress shudder with my movements. Her clothed tits still bounced for me as she dug her hands into the sand. Her hair blew in every direction. I watched her hat tumble out of view as the waves crept up the shoreline, heading straight for us. I felt her slickness dripping down my balls. I felt her body quivering
