Sabrina licked her lips. “Or maybe next time I won’t wear panties,” she suggested, giving him a sinful look.
He growled, his cock already rising again at the alluring thought, and he slapped her ass gently. “You’re going to be the death of me, Sabrina! Now put those clothes back on, or I’m going to bend you over, slap your little ass in earnest, and drive my cock into you until they can hear you scream all the way down in the lobby.”

Sabrina stood next to Daniel on the curb. He had one arm around her and was using the other to hail a cab.
Knowing he’d stood up to Audrey and made it clear to her that he loved Sabrina had been better than any apology he could have ever offered. She squeezed him a little tighter.
He turned his face to her, smiling. “Everything all right?”
She looked up at him and smiled. “Everything is perfect.”
Well, except for the fact that she was standing outside in a cool evening breeze, her sex still quivering with aftershocks of her orgasm. Could any pedestrian passing by tell that she’d just had mind-blowing sex in an elevator? Sabrina chuckled to herself.
“What’s so funny?”
“Us. Do you think people can tell that we’ve just had sex?”
Daniel laughed softly and dipped his mouth to her ear. “It’s written all over your face. And I’ve never seen anything look lovelier on you.”
Sabrina buried her face in the crook of his neck.
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” he said.
She felt another hot flash course through her body. “I feel hot.” She fanned herself.
Daniel chuckled. “That’s because you are.” He kissed her cheek. “In fact, you’re the hottest woman I’ve ever met.”
She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “You’re intentionally misunderstanding me.”
“Okay, would you rather walk home to cool down?”
“If my legs weren’t shaking I’d say yes, but I’m afraid a certain somebody just robbed me of all my energy.”
“Well, then let’s get you off your feet,” he said and waived at an approaching taxi.
It stopped and Daniel opened the door for Sabrina. She hopped in, and he climbed in behind her.
“Where to?” the cabbie asked.
Daniel gave him the address.
“Now, where were we?” he asked playfully and put his arm around Sabrina’s shoulders, pulling her toward him.
She leaned into him when he captured her lips for a kiss. The feel of his tongue in her mouth and of his hot breath mingling with hers set her aflame once more. She moaned softly and Daniel deepened the kiss.
Desperate for more closeness, Sabrina stroked her hand over his chest, savoring the feel of his warm skin and hard muscles beneath the fabric.
He broke the kiss and groaned.
“Remind me to thank Holly and buy her the biggest, most expensive gift I can find.”
“Finding a gift that she isn’t already planning to buy for herself might be difficult. She’s got an entire two days of shopping planned out.”
“Do you know where she’s going and when?”
“I can find out, why?” Sabrina lifted her head and looked at him.
“Because I plan to pay for it.”
Sabrina’s jaw dropped. “You have no idea how much Holly can shop.”
He shrugged. “I don’t care. What she did for me is worth more than money.”
Sabrina lifted her eyebrows. “Are you sure?”
Daniel nodded. “I owe Holly everything, Sabrina. She’s the reason you’re in my life. She helped me in San Francisco when I needed it, and she helped me again today. If it weren’t for her, I’d still be a workaholic bachelor trying to fend off New York’s gold digging elite. She gave me my life when she gave me you. There isn’t enough money in the world to repay her for that.”
Sabrina felt her heart melt. Her eyes became damp with unshed tears. “You’re so sweet,” she choked out.
“It’s the truth.” Daniel kissed the top of her head. “And I owe you, too.”
“Me? What for?”
“For everything you did about Hannigan. He dropped his lawsuit.”
Excitement shot through her veins. “Oh my god! Really?” She sat up straight. “I can’t believe it. It worked!”
“Yes, it worked.” Daniel laughed. “You did it, Sabrina. You’re more brilliant than any of those hotshot lawyers I employ. If you hadn’t gotten the female staff at Brand, Freeman and Merriweather to make statements about Hannigan, it wouldn’t have happened.”
