Louise finished hanging the last of his pants in the closet at the same time she heard a crash from the kitchen.
“Please keep me from killing him today,” she whispered to the heavens before going to investigate what he had managed to do now.
“I was just trying to get a drink,” Nix explained surrounded by glass in the middle of the kitchen.
“Uh huh.” Louise scrubbed her face, already tired of this conversation. “I told you I would be right back.”
Nix shuffled to the table and sat down heavily. “I can’t fucking stand this.”
Louise grabbed the broom and started sweeping shards into a pile in the center of the mess. “I know, babe. It’s only a few more weeks, though, and then you should be back to normal.”
“It’s not the foot that’s bothering me, Lou.”
The tone of his voice made Louise stop what she was doing and focus on him. “What do you mean?”
“I mean you treat me like a fucking invalid,” Nix snapped before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
Louise looked pointedly at the glass on the floor before propping the broom up against the counter. “You’re not supposed to be putting any weight on that foot at all, Nix. I know it’s hard for you to sit and relax, but that’s what you need to do right now.”
“And I will…as long as you’re sitting and relaxing with me. I can’t let you do all of this by yourself, and you’re taking on too much to keep going the way you have been. There’s no need for you to clean out the fridge or scrub the shower. Those things can wait, and honestly, my place is pretty clean already.”
“I don’t mind helping,” Louise said, tempted to cross her fingers behind her back.
“Lou, those things don’t need to be done right now.”
“Well then tell me what you do need,” she snapped, unable to figure out why his words hurt so much.
“I need you to stop treating me like a patient and go back to treating me like your man,” Nix shot back. It was only a second or two before he shook his head and whispered, “I’m sorry.”
It was at that exact moment that she understood what he was trying to say.
“I get it.”
Nix reached out a hand and beckoned her closer. Not stopping until she was seated on his lap, Louise relaxed into his body.
“I don’t need the floors mopped twice a day or my bed made perfectly. I just need you.”
Louise swallowed hard. “But, the floors do look really good, don’t they?”
Nix chuckled against her neck. The action made her skin moist where his breath hit. “They look great.”
“And, your shower is practically sparkling.” Louise arched with the words, giving him more room to work around her neck. “It’s so clean you could eat off that tile if you wanted to.”
Nix raked his stubble down the column she presented to him before whispering a few kisses here and there. “My shower has never looked better, and I do plan on eating off that tile at some point.”
At her confused look, he shot a wicked glance at the apex of her thighs and gave her a lust-filled smile.
Louise felt the blood rush to her face and was sure she was bright red as she cleared her throat. “Good, then I’m done cleaning.” Louise looked back to the pile she had abandoned earlier. “Well, once I’m done with that mess.”
“Leave it for now,” Nix ordered. “I have something else that needs your attention.”
Louise shivered when he thrust his hips, the hard bar of his cock grinding into her backside.
He nipped at her earlobe, teasing the sensitive flesh, while she giggled. “I can see that.”
Nix made a move like he was going to stand with her in his arms, something he had done many times before, but now, it made him let out a huff of frustration. “I fucking hate this!”
Louise scooted off his lap, while rubbing her ass along his erection in a teasing motion. Strutting toward the arched doorway leading to the rest of the house, she stopped and propped her hand on her hip. Hoping to look sexy despite her stained yoga pants, she tossed a come hither look over her shoulder. “You coming?”
“Soon, baby. Real soon.” Nix promised as he stood up, stabilized himself on a single crutch, and hobbled behind her as she led him to the bedroom. “God, I love your ass.”
“Why thank you,” Louise batted her lashes, which earned a smack to the flesh he had been admiring. “Ouch!”
“Keep being sassy, sugar. My foot may be broken, but the rest of me isn’t,” he promised wickedly.
Louise hurried her steps, wanting to get to the bedroom before him to pull out the surprise she had brought from her house.
“Lou?” Nix called from the hallway where he was still moving slowly.
She moved fast, grabbing her overnight bag from the floor and tossing the small vibe on the bed before stripping off her T-shirt and yoga pants. Fluffing her breasts in her bra, she crawled onto the bed and lay in what she hoped was a sexy pose.
“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” Nix rubbed his jaw, leaning against the door frame.
“I’ve missed you,” Louise whispered as she cupped one of her breasts, feeling the nipple harden through the peekaboo lace that covered the mound.
“I’ve missed you too, darlin’.” Nix hobbled to the mattress. Leaning over, he ghosted his fingers along the skin of her hip, causing goose bumps to follow in the wake of his touch. “You have no idea of the dirty things I want to do to you.”
“Show me.” Louise felt the heat of his gaze as he looked up and down her body.
Nix shook his head. “Not tonight. I’ve been without you too long to go slow, and I don’t want to scare you.”
“Then tell me.”
He arched an eyebrow. “My girl likes dirty talk?” When she blushed, he climbed onto the mattress, being careful of his wrapped foot.
“I like anything you do,” Louise admitted, her body heating as he shucked his own shirt.
Lying on the bed, Nix put an arm over his head assuming a casual pose that looked anything but relaxed.
He looked hot, like really, really hot.
Louise licked her lips as she took in her fill of the man at her fingertips. There were times when she still had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. Nix was the type of man that screamed sex without even trying. His body, the way he moved, and his wicked grin were the things that wet dreams were made of.
Nix ran a hand down his chest, the action seeming innocent yet still drawing her eyes to the happy trail leading to the promised land. Without his shirt, he was clothed only in a pair of athletic shorts. The jersey material clung to his hips and thighs and outlined his cock.
“Are you wearing underwear?” Louise asked, certain he wasn’t after seeing the clear definition of his cock under the slick fabric.
“Want to find out?” Nix cocked his eyebrow and flexed his six pack while he waited for her answer.
Chapter 24
Louise was kneeling beside Nix, unsure where to start exploring first. She could tell he wasn’t wearing anything under the shorts, but figured he deserved a little teasing after being the worst patient ever the last week. With that in mind, she scooted as close as possible without touching him.
“Actually…I think I’ll start here,” Louise teased, stroking the strong arm that was lying across his hard stomach. Tracing the veins that ran up his large hand and up to his bicep she watched as his breathing got heavier. Shooting a glance at his lap, she noted that other things were also getting heavy.
Before she could duck away, Nix’s heavy arm wrapped around her, and with a large palm on her ass he pulled her close. “There you go being sassy again.” Squeezing the cheek he was cupping, he rhythmically stroked the plump flesh of her bottom.
“You love it.” Louise laughed as she rubbed into his caress.
“I do. I really do.” Nix nudged her closer until she was almost straddling his still clothed lap. “I’m going to need you to be on top, babe.”
Louise bit her lip in thought. They hadn’t had sex since he’d been laid up. Right after the accident, he was still recovering from the hit to his head, so his pain meds had made him a bit loopy, and also cranky. A combination that was anything but sexy. Now that enough time had passed, Nix was off the pain meds unless he really needed them which wasn’t often. The part that was making her hesitate was the fact that in all their carnal exploits she had never been in control. It was a roll that Nix had taken every time they had been in the bedroom, so she was unsure how to go about it. It wasn’t like she had never been on top before. In fact, that position had been one of her favorites before meeting Nix.
With Nix, it was different. He was so strong and big that he made her feel fragile and delicate without even trying. When he caged her within his arms, she felt completely at his mercy. Something that she had never felt or even wanted to feel with the men she had dated before. Whether he took her from behind, her favorite position of all time, or towered above her like a Viking claiming his prize she felt cherished in every way.
“What’s wrong?”
Louise shook her head, allowing part of her hair to hide her face. “Nothing.”
“Don’t hide from me,” Nix ordered softly. “Now tell me what’s wrong, darlin’.”
“You normally control—” She broke off, hating that she sounded like an idiot.
Nix cupped her face, gently stroking her cheek with his thumb. “Is that what’s got you all riled up?”
“Now I feel stupid,” Louise muttered.
“Don’t.” Nix frowned. “Don’t ever feel stupid or unsure of what we have here.”
Louise nodded, but it was only halfhearted.
“I’m serious. You’re fucking perfect for me in every single way. It doesn’t matter if I have you bent over the couch or you’re riding me like a cowgirl, what we have is goddamn perfect regardless of how it happens. I just know that I wanna fuck you hard right now, and I won’t be able to get enough leverage with my foot all fucked up.”
“Well then…” Louise smiled, feeling more confident than she had just a second ago.
Nix grabbed her hand and put it over the hard bulge that was growing larger right before her eyes. He let go of her hand, his eyes telling her she needed to make the next move.
“Let’s get these off you.” Louise reached for the waistband of his shorts and smiled at the way his muscles tensed at the slight contact of her fingers on his skin. His cock popped out as soon as she tugged the fabric low enough to free it. The sight made her mouth water in anticipation.
“It’s been too long,” Nix said softly, stroking the hair away from her face as she stared at him.
“Yes it has.” Those were the last words she spoke before leaning over him and engulfing the head of his cock in her mouth. At the loud hiss that escaped Nix, Louise figured that he was enjoying the attention.
“Fuck, darlin’.”
Lifting up for a second she licked her lips and smiled at his tense form. “Not yet, darlin’ .”
His responding laugh was cut short when she swooped down again and took as much of him into her mouth and throat as she could without choking. Drawing up off of the stalk, she hollowed her cheeks with the motion keeping the suction tight on the flesh against her tongue.
When she was almost all the way off, Nix lifted his hips to maintain the contact for a bit longer. Gripping her hair without pulling, he tugged it back out of his way, so he could watch her bob on his cock. Moving into the vee of his spread legs, she looked up where he was reclining against the pillows and caught his gaze. There was nothing hotter than watching him come undone at the feel of her mouth around and over him.
She was making him tense and groan.
She was the reason perspiration was starting to dot his forehead.
Louise had never felt more powerful than she did at this moment, and it was phenomenal .
His grip tightened in her hair as she slipped one hand down to gently hold his heavy sac. Rolling his balls in her hand, she squeezed and massaged the sensitive skin carefully. Moaning loudly, she traced and slurped at his cock feeling completely wanton.
“There’s my dirty girl,” Nix rasped, his entire body clenched in the effort to control himself.
Letting the thick plum shaped head pop free of her lips, Louise swallowed down the taste of his precum that lingered on her tongue.
“Strip for me, I need to feel your tits in my hands.”
Louise quickly undid the clasp of her bra, not an easy feat with three fasteners holding it tight. The instant her breasts were free of their prison, Nix cupped one in his big hand. Roughly handing the globe he pinched at the nipple, plucking it quickly.
“I love your hands.” Louise moaned, arching her back.
“And I love your mouth.” He let go of her breast, snaked a hand around the back of her neck, and tugged her back down to his dick.
She followed where he led allowing him to guide her. Taking him deep again, she felt the large head nudge the back of her mouth where her throat started. Pulling off, she took a deep breath and flattened her tongue to create a path down as far as she could go. Plunging down, she swallowed when she felt the head enter her throat causing her eyes to water.
“Fuuuck.”
Up and down, Louise found a rhythm she could handle without choking. It seemed like she had been sucking for hours, but it was only a minute or two before he tugged her hair up.
Panting, she swallowed and coughed. “I wasn’t done yet.”
“I don’t want to come in your mouth.” Nix growled, tugging at the waist of the panties. He swore aloud when he couldn’t get them past her hips and instead focused his strong fingers on the panel of lace that hovered above her lower lips.
Muscles bulging, he ripped his way past the expensive garment with a snarl.
Louise could only stare in awe at the beast before her. Nix may be down with a broken foot, but he was in no way helpless. He was more in control than she was at this point.
“Those were expensive,” Louise pointed out in a breathy voice.
“I’ll buy you more. Fuck, I’ll buy you a truckload,” Nix said, clearing the way to her pussy.
“A truckload?” she asked amused.
“Fuck yes,” he answered before adding, “as long as they’re crotchless from now on. This is a good look for you.”
Louise looked down where his fingers were teasing the tattered lace and snorted. “You’re crazy.”
“I’m serious. Look at this pretty pussy framed just for me.” Slipping one of his fingers into the seam of her apex, Nix nudged her clit before once again retreating.
“Tease,” Louise whispered shakily, watching as his finger reappeared covered in her wetness. It swirled around before delving deep again. Bypassing her clit this time, he slid his digit deep into her sheath.
“Hand me a condom,” Nix instructed as he pulled his fingers free of her body. “I need to be inside you, now.”
“Bossy,” Louise teased as she reached into his bedside drawer for the stash she had found earlier when looking for a phone charger. After she tore open the packet and removed the circle of latex, he gently took it from her. “I wanted to—”
“Not this time or else I’ll go off like a teenager,” Nix argued with a tense jaw. Rolling the protection down the long stalk of his member, he grunted when she cupped his balls.
Louise straddled his hips, poised over the purple shaded head that she had paid so much attention to earlier. Placing one leg on each side of him, she reached down to fit the large tip into her entrance. She teased him a little, rubbing the latex covered knob against her clit.
Smack!
Louise jumped at the contact of his hand against her ass. The loud noise and slight sting startled her.
“I’m on the edge, Lou.”
“So am I.” With that statement, Louise tilted her hips and dropped down enough to envelop the head in her opening. She let out an involuntary gasp at the feel
of him entering her body. He was by far the most built man she had ever been with, and she could feel it each and every time they were together.
The burn of his entry, the emptiness he left behind…all of it was something she had begun craving every minute of the day.
“Goddamn.” Letting her head fall back to the ceiling, Louise dropped even farther down his cock. Her wetness easing the way for his plundering.
“Fuck, darlin’.” Nix groaned, punching his hips up until she was flush against his pelvis. Once she was seated, he was as deep as he could possibly be, her hips tight in his grip. No doubt leaving bruises as a reminder of his lustful possession.
Just like that, Nix had taken control. Louise planted her hands on his lower abdomen trying to steady herself to raise up and down only to have him cuff her wrists in his large hands.
Even though she was on top, she felt like a puppet on strings.
Nix tugged her down, so that she was close enough for him to catch her nipple in his open mouth, and he sucked hard on the sensitive flesh. Her hips hitched at the contact, jumping to and fro as if he were a bronco and she was just along for the ride.
When he groaned, loud enough to make her shiver, it reminded her that she had some control after all. Sitting up, she pulled her nipple free of his lips with a pop.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Nix frowned at the broken contact.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Louise whimpered, feeling completely stuffed full at the new angle.
Nix planted his palms firmly on her ass and held her close. “Good.”
Regardless of who was on top, Louise felt dominated when Nix gripped the cheeks of her ass possessively, separating the globes and bouncing the flesh a couple times. When he reached even farther behind her and fingered her anus, she almost jumped out of her skin at the carnal contact.
“Ummm.” Louise gulped, not sure if she should like the forbidden caress or not.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll stop.” Nix studied her face for a moment, keeping his fingers moving in soothing circles around the tight bud. “Just say the word.”
