One Night Forever (The Cinderella Chronicles) Read Online Free

hummed with electric charges. She was so
alert, so alive. He had done that to her like no one else ever had.
But then, what good was a fantasy if not so perfect?
    They traveled in silence,
but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It was as if they both hated to break
the secret spell wrapped around them. The perfection of the feeling
was warm, and promising. Anticipation literally pulsed through the
darkened car.
    Pulling up in front of a
high-rise building, nerves suddenly kicked in, and Lauren’s stomach
fluttered in reaction. The doorman opened her car door and helped
her out. And only moments later, Matt reached for her hand and
tossed the keys to the other man. Darting him an admiring sideways
glance Lauren mentally reinforced her resolve to enjoy her fantasy
night. She would not back out and miss an opportunity to be with
this incredible man. Inhaling, she vowed to become the fantasy. No
insecurities. No fears.
    It would be daring and
exciting…just like Tara from “Red Hot Secrets.”
    * * * * *
    Matt laced his fingers
between Lauren’s as he led her inside his building. He knew she was
nervous. She’d be even more so if she knew how out of character he
was acting. He didn’t take women to his apartment. He’d seen a
shocked look on the face of Fred, the doorman. For some reason,
Lauren made his rulebook taboo. She wrote a new set of
guidelines.
    Her expressive face gave
away her emotions. It was a trait he found utterly charming.
Tonight, she was acting out of character. He knew it instinctively.
Felt it in her hesitation to accept his invitation. Saw the flashes
of self-doubt in her eyes.
    Whatever had made her go
against her normal character tonight, he felt honored to be with
her. To be the man she chose to be with for the evening. She
touched him deep inside in a way he couldn’t quite understand. He
wanted to see pleasure on her face, to watch her come, and see the
pleasure he gave her. To hear her call his name. To watch her eyes
as he entered her. To know he pleased her beyond her wildest
dreams. And he would.
    He’d make damn sure
Lauren went wild with passion.

Chapter Four
     
    Matt’s cock pressed
against his zipper as he urged Lauren into the elevator. Damn, how
he wanted to take her—here, now—but he knew they’d be caught on
camera. It was all that held him in check.
    But still, he had to know
how she tasted.
    How he’d make it this
long without kissing her, he wasn’t sure. As the doors closed, he
pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head. As much as he
wanted to ravish her, he didn’t want to scare her. Or to rush what
should be savored. So, slowly, he brushed his lips across hers only
allowing himself the briefest contact. But he wanted more. Thirsted
for it.
    For several seconds, his
mouth lingered, their breath mingled. Hot and consuming, the
passion between them burned. Pushing him to take more. And he knew
he had to have just one more taste. The touch electrified. Her lips
were soft, and inviting, parting easily to accept what he offered.
But a caress wasn’t enough…
    Delving his tongue into
the soft recesses of her mouth, he took her essence with slow
absorption, reveling at the way her body melted against his. Like
honey, sweet and addictive, she drew him deeper into a seductive
spell. And when he felt her shiver, he knew she felt it
too.
    God, he loved how
responsive she was to his touch. His hands moved of their own will,
sliding down her slim waist and the curve of her hips. To hell with
the security cameras. The need to touch her was simply too intense
to ignore. Lauren’s soft moan echoed through his body like molten
heat. His hand scooped her ass and he pulled her tight against his
cock.
    Like a reality check, a
ping signaled the elevator’s arrival. The doors began to slide
open. Reluctantly, Matt withdrew his lips from Lauren’s. She
blinked at him, a question in her big, green eyes.
    “ We’re here,”
he whispered and slowly eased her body from his.
    Her teeth found
