“Enough talking. I’ve missed you too goddamned much to talk. I need to connect with you, Red. Be inside you. We can talk later.” His mouth crashed to mine.
I wouldn’t fight him anymore. I pawed, rediscovering his massive muscles, the smoothness of his tan skin, and his natural scent, just as he appeared to do the same with me. Our tongues lashed together as we both ground into each other. Leo still had his shorts on, but they didn’t hide his rock-hard cock.
Our frantic kisses grew wilder, more hungry. I needed more. I needed Leo inside me.
“Please,” I moaned into his mouth, bowing my back.
“Please what, Red? What do you need?”
“Please, make me come.”
“Nope. Not what I want to hear.” He stared down at me with an intensity in his ocean-blue eyes I hadn’t seen before. “What do you need?”
“Stop teasing me,” I nearly whined. “You know I want you inside me.”
“Yes, and I want to be inside you too. But what do you need? Tell me, Red, give me the words.”
I bit on my lower lip. “You shouldn’t taunt an aroused, throbbing woman. It’s not nice.”
“I’m not a nice man. Not always, anyway. Now for the love of Christ, tell me what you need.”
“I need…” I stopped myself. Did he want to hear I needed him? Did I want to reveal such an intimate and possibly decimating detail? It would be like giving him the power to break my heart.
Leo stood at the end of the bed and removed his shorts. His long, king-sized cock slapped against his lower belly. He fisted it and stroked it. I swallowed; the torment was real. I freaking wanted Leo inside me. I craved him. Needed him as I’d never needed anyone in my life before.
“I’m waiting, Red. Give me the words so I can make you cry out in ecstasy.” The cocky smirk on his face killed me. He knew he had me at his mercy, and it freaked me out.
A shudder ripped through me, and tears burned behind my eyes. “Why are you doing this? Why are you forcing me to… to reveal my heart? Don’t you know how doing so would make me vulnerable?”
He opened the top drawer in the nightstand and took out a condom. I watched as he ripped the packet with his teeth, then rolled it onto his dick.
“You’re so fucking gorgeous lying on my bed with your long hair covering one breast while the other calls for my lips and tongue. You’re partially spread open, your pussy dripping for me, begging for me to fill you to the hilt and pound you into oblivion.”
I exhaled a lust-filled breath and clenched my thighs. I was so turned on and lightheaded, but it was his dirty talk making me quiver with need.
“I want you to give me the words. Tell me what you need. I’ll give it to you, Red. I promise I will. But not until I hear it. Not until you reveal your heart because once you do, you’re mine. I’m not letting you go again. I was a miserable fuck for the last six days. I won’t let it happen again.”
Did he really mean everything he said? I was about to put my heart on the line for this man. This man I hardly knew but felt as if I’d known him my whole life.
“Leo… I need you. All of you. Every inch of you. I need you, Leo, and you better not fucking make me regret telling you so.”
“Goddamn, I love the fire in you.” He pounced on me then. “Shit, Red, I fucking need you too.” He lined up the head of his dick at my entrance and eased his way in. “So fucking tight,” he groaned, screwing up his face as if in pain, but I knew he wasn’t.
“You’re too big.” I panted, pricking his shoulders with my nails. I wasn’t lying. Leo was huge. It felt like he was going to rip me in two.
“There is no such thing. Do you feel that? You’re molding to me as I stretch you. Jesus, your pussy is heaven on earth. It’s perfect, perfect for me. No one else will ever have this pussy.” His nose brushed against mine. “Do you hear me, Red? This pussy is mine. All mine.”
I exhaled a deep breath as contentment blew over me. “It’s your pussy.” I squeezed his cock as tightly as I could. “And this is mine. If you want me, you can’t be with anyone else while you’re with me. Understand?”
“Baby, you didn’t even need to ask. I don’t want anyone but you.”
Our mouths collided following his declaration. Leo leisurely pumped in and out of me. The slow build of my release was intense. But he was right. I loosened with every deep thrust, only feeling immense pleasure.
Our bodies moved in time with each other. Not once did Leo’s lips leave mine. I was close, close to shooting off into the clouds.
I only had one regret. The condom Leo was wearing. I didn’t like the feel of it inside me, but I knew he didn’t want kids. That detail was tremendous, because I did. Still, I wouldn’t let it ruin the moment.
“Fucking hell, Red. I’m going to come and I want you to come with me.” His hand went between us and he rubbed my clit.
“Oh, Leo, yes…” I bucked into him at a frantic pace. The pressure in my core increased and I was done. “Leo!” I tensed and rode the wave of orgasmic bliss, holding onto his biceps as if my life depended on it. “You are so incredible…” I exhaled, melting into the bed, a smile on my face and utterly, stupidly, deliriously happy.
“You’re so beautiful when you come on my dick.” He furrowed his brow and kissed me. “But, I’m having a little trouble here.”
“What kind of trouble?”
“Seems my cock isn’t happy wrapped up. It’s never been an issue for me before. But I also hadn’t had anyone bare until you.”
“Is there anything I can do to help?” Jeez, poor guy. I wanted him to get his release too.
He slipped out of me. “I’m going to take it off and come on your stomach. You okay with that? I’ll clean you up and eat you out again in the shower.” He waggled his eyebrows, plucked a tissue from the box on the nightstand, and wadded up the condom in it.
“Whatever gets you off.”
“I love it when you talk like this.” He drove inside me and groaned. “Fuck, fuck, fuck. Jesus, fuck, this was what I’d been missing. Baby, you’re so soft and warm.” His head dropped, and he kissed the curve of my neck. Leo’s hands went under my ass and lifted me up to him. I wrapped my legs around his waist and felt him go in deeper.
This was what I’d been missing too. Another orgasm started to build. I could tell by Leo’s speed, he was getting closer to his release.
“So good. So fucking good, Red. I’m close, baby.”
“You feel amazing without the rubber.”
“Hmm. We’ll need to discuss birth control options.” His face contorted then. “Shit, this is…” He pulled out and strings of his cum burst from his cock. “Fuuck, Red. I’ve been so backed up. Not even wanting to jerk off in the shower.”
He spurted his cum all over my stomach, up to my breasts. A devilish grin appeared as he stared at me. “I’ve marked you. Look at all that cum. You know what this means, right?”
I shook my head as I smelled his cum surrounding me. It was a bit intense but not off-putting. It was uniquely Leo, and for that, I liked it.
“You’re mine. Now, I’ll rub it into your skin to seal the deal.” His hands were on me, lathering me up.
I giggled. “No tickling.”
Leo dropped onto me and covered my mouth with his. He rubbed against my stomach, wiggling and laughing. His antics made me giggle more.
While he devoured my lips, I threw my arms around his shoulders and held him close. I was falling fast for Lifeguard Leo.
Could a lifelong bachelor ever settle down with one woman?
Could I be that woman?

Leo
I HELD A strawberry to Red’s lips and watched her bite through it. Like the other dozen or so times, she pecked my lips, and I licked the sweet juice from hers. We were on my deck, and she was wrapped in a blanket on my lap. The inky sky above us was peppered with stars. The waves whooshed as high tide rolled in.
I was in paradise: just my ocean and my girl.
Re
d was most definitely my girl. Even if she didn’t know it, there was no chance in hell I was letting her go.
We’d made love two more times in the last few hours, in the shower and on my sofa after we ate pizza. I planned to delight in her body a few more times before we drifted off to sleep. Then I would hold her all night long.
“I love it out here.” She snuggled against my chest and kissed my neck. “When I graduated from college, my parents gave me a bouquet of flowers and reminded me how much they paid for my school. I never wanted to major in business. I feel cheated, honestly. You got a way better gift than I did.”
“Nah, it’s just their way of buying my love. Or to make them feel better for being shitty parents.”
“How old were you when they divorced?”
“Middle school. But for as long as I can remember, preschool maybe, they fought.”
Her soft hand stroked my cheek. “I’m so sorry. A young child shouldn’t see their parents fighting.”
“I agree.” Which was why I never wanted kids. “I was in third grade when they shipped me off to boarding school for two years. They think I don’t know it had to do with my dad screwing my nanny. But I used to catch them making out all over the house when my mom was gone. Deidra, my nanny, was pretty and young. But my old man was a dog and couldn’t keep his hands off her. I often heard her telling him she didn’t want to come between him and my mom. He didn’t give a shit though. I was glad when they sent me away, so I didn’t have to pretend like I didn’t know what was going on.”
“Oh, baby, you weren’t glad. Don’t lie to me.” She turned in my lap and straddled me. She held my face in her hands with care and dotted kisses across my lips, along my jaw. Her touch soothed me. “You were sad. It’s okay if you were. You were a little boy. You needed your parents.”
“Enough about mine. Tell me about your parents.” I wasn’t trying to dodge talking about my childhood. It just wasn’t a pleasant one, and reliving it brought me down. All I wanted was to be happy with Red. I may never stop calling her the nickname I gave her, even after knowing her real name was Scarlett. It was a pretty name and it fit her, but she would always be Red to me.
“Okay. My parents are conservative Christians. My dad is a dentist and my mom is a stay-at-home mom. I have four younger siblings, one brother and three sisters. We were all homeschooled. I grew up spending most of my free time in church and riding horses. My parents entertained a lot and the Smith kids were expected to always be on our best behavior.”
“That must have been a challenge for you. I sense a wild spirit in you.” I played with her hair, looping a strand around my finger.
“I just wanted to be free to be me. You were a wild child, weren’t you?” She played with the hair at my nape in return, making my spine tingle.
“The wildest. I was always getting expelled in high school. I wasn’t so bad when I was younger, but my teenage years were a clusterfuck of incidents, costing my parents time and money.
“You just wanted attention. I get it. I never got expelled, but I rebelled in my own ways.”
“Oh yeah? How did you rebel?” I smirked as her cheeks turned pink.
She smiled and bit her bottom lip. “I was late for everything: classes, lessons, dinner. They caught me making out with a few different boys… I was topless one of those times.” She grimaced.
“Red! Topless? You’re going straight to hell for that one.”
She threw her head back, giggling. I jumped at the chance to suck on her neck. “My parents said the same thing.” She ground against me. “Yes… I love having your mouth on me.”
I stopped and leveled my gaze on hers. “How many guys have had their mouths on you?” I shouldn’t care, but I did. I’d gotten Red’s V-card, and it meant a lot to me. Still, I hated the thought of any guy touching what was mine.
“You’re looking a little scary, Leo. Possessive much?”
“Only when it comes to you. How many?”
“Well, the guy I had my shirt off with when my mom found us. He was the first guy to suck on my nipples.”
I growled but I had a feeling she was trying to get a rise out of me by the way she continued to grind against me.
“He was going to get me off, but we were interrupted. Lucky for him, I’d sucked him off before my mom came along.”
“Fuck, Red. No, you didn’t. How old were you?” My blood pressure shot up, imagining her perfect pink lips around some other dude’s cock.
“Sixteen. It was my birthday. I’d never been kissed. After that, I was on restriction for the rest of the school year.”
I shook my head, feeling this weird sensation burrow in my gut. Was it jealousy? “Your parents should’ve never let you out of your room.”
“Stop it.” She kissed my neck. “How old were you when you lost your virginity?”
“It’s not the same, Red. You’re too damn good.”
She swirled the tip on her fingers over my heart. “You’re good too. I can tell. Right here is where it counts.”
“Only with you, Red. Only with you.”
“I don’t understand. I’m just like any other woman.”
“Fuck no, you’re not. You’re unique. I’ve never met anyone like you.” I brushed her hair off her face, placing a kiss on her lips. I stood with Red in my arms and carried her inside to my bedroom for round four.
“I hope that’s a good thing.” She snorted with amusement in her voice.
“Baby, it’s fucking better than good.” I set her on the bed and unwrapped the blanket from her naked body.
“Tell me more.”
“You’re an addiction I never want to recover from.” It was the honest truth, and the more I told her I wasn’t letting her go, the easier it was to accept the inevitable. Red was mine, and I was officially off the market, and totally hers.
She spread her legs open, baring her pussy to me. “Then come get your fix.”
I raked my eyes over her. Everything about Red was magnificent, from her ivory, silky skin and patch of red curls on her pussy to her pink lips and emerald-green eyes. I loved all her curves and how perfectly we fit when my cock was deep inside her. I couldn’t even put into words how much I loved the taste of her.
I was so addicted to Red; it was insanely sublime.
“Don’t have to tell me twice.” I dropped to my knees and buried my face in the sweetest pussy ever.

Scarlett
THE LAST THREE days had been a whirlwind with Leo. As I stood in his luxurious shower—it was bigger than my entire bathroom in my townhouse—I reflected on my time with Leo.
We’d spent every minute together talking, walking on the beach, kissing, and making love… and fucking. As much as Leo wanted to take his sweet time with me and treat me like a breakable doll, I liked it hard and dirty sometimes. I wanted him to bend me over his dining table and take me from behind or slam into me while holding me up against the wall. I was glad he accommodated me so generously.
Was three days too soon to know if I loved him? I felt something more than like for him. Something more than what I’d ever felt for anyone.
Sixty plus hours of being with Leo non-stop seemed like a lot. We’d learned a ton about each other too. While most people spent an evening together here or there, having dinner and dancing for only a few hours, we were inseparable.
Not once did we argue or get tired of each other. It blew my mind how easy it was to be with Leo. We seemed to work well together, partnering up to cook breakfast and cleaning the kitchen. For a man who relished the single life, Leo sure seemed to love having me around. He wouldn’t let me go home for the night, which was fine with me. I wanted to be with him too.
We’d gone to my place so I could pack an overnight bag the morning after I’d found him in the bar, and here I’d stayed since.
I tried convincing myself we were just crazy about each other. That it was only lust because it was all new to us. But I knew better. Leo and I were in sync. He seem
ed to read my mind just as I could read his. The only thing I couldn’t read for sure was how he felt about me. Was it possible for a notorious bachelor, known by everyone as Lifeguard Leo, aka ladies’ man, to fall in love?
Fall in love with me?
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” He stepped into the shower and wrapped his massive arms around my waist and kissed me. He was sporting a sizeable hard-on.
“You looked so peaceful, I didn’t want to wake you. Besides, you don’t have to work for another three hours but I need to leave in thirty minutes because of the commute.”
“All the more reason to wake me, Red. I’m going to miss the fuck out of you today.”
I frowned. “Sorry. Guess I didn’t think about that.”
“No need to apologize. Let me get my fill of you now.” He lifted me up with no effort at all. The guy was built like a bodybuilder with corded muscles everywhere and arms the size of my legs. He loved holding me and I had no complaints about it.
“Just make sure you pull out.”
“Don’t need to remind me, baby. I know.” He impaled me onto his cock. Our groans ricocheted off the stone walls. “So fucking fantastic, Red.” He put me against the wall, his hands shielding me from the cold tiles, and drove into me.
I gasped and held onto him for dear life. Not because I feared he’d drop me—I knew he wouldn’t—but because I didn’t want to leave him either.
“Tell me, what’s the plan for today?”
“Um…” Each time he drove into me, he nearly knocked the air out of my lungs. There was no way I could talk. “Fuck me first.”
He dropped his lips to mine and kissed me breathless until I clenched around him and cried out his name. Not long after I came, he pulled out and his release went down the drain. Part of me was sad to see his sperm wash away.
We had briefly talked about the possibility of me being pregnant. I could tell the topic made Leo uncomfortable. He held it together, though, and didn’t overreact. If I was pregnant, I was a little worried about how he would take it. I totally understood his fears about being a horrible parent. But he was truly a wonderful man and treated me with respect and love. There was no doubt in my mind Leo would be a terrific dad. He just didn’t see what I saw.
