Like her ice-queen persona, Burk had used his arrogant, demigod demeanor as protection. Her panic evaporated as understanding filled her. His expression softened and she breathlessly watched as he shared the compassion and sincerity he’d kept hidden.
Overwhelmed that he cared enough to risk showing her the deepest parts of himself, she felt a lump of emotion lodge in her throat. It was all Sofia could do to keep from weeping.
Burk gently nodded as a knowing smile tugged his lips. He softly cupped her cheeks, sending another jolt of energy pulsing through her. Like a cyclone, desire and demand swirled, then coalesced and slammed between her legs.
Still, her mind wavered. “Burk, I’m…not sure…”
“Not sure we should do this?” he murmured as he pressed a feather-soft kiss at the corners of her mouth. “Me, either. But I refuse to fight my feelings for you any longer.”
“Feelings? You really have f-feelings…f-for me?”
Her stammer of surprise made him chuckle. But he quickly sobered. “Dammit, woman. You’re all I ever think about. My mind and body have been at war since you first stepped your sexy ass on the bus.”
His admission totally floored her. “Then why have you been such an asshole to me?”
Burk cringed before apology softened his face. “I have been, haven’t I?”
She jerked her head in a terse nod.
“I’m sorry about that. Pissing you off was the only way I could keep my hands off you.”
She delved deep into his eyes, trying to determine if he was telling the truth or simply spoon-feeding her lines to get inside her.
Like it matters? It’s where you want him…where you’ve always wanted him.
The little voice in her head jabbed her with a really sharp stick, validating the point that she’d wanted him balls deep inside her since day one. But he was an experienced man-whore…a kinky one at that. A fact that had her insecurities lifting off the launchpad of sanity.
“It’s not just the way you acted…it’s the…”
“What?”
“I don’t want you to think me just another…fuck,” she confessed softly.
Burk’s eyes narrowed. “Do you honestly think you mean that little to me?”
“Honestly?”
He nodded.
“I don’t know what to think. You hook up with so many women that I…” She shrugged.
He pursed his lips and issued a low hum. “You might not believe me, but those others…they don’t mean a damn thing. You, on the other hand, do.”
“So why do you bang every available groupie after each show?”
“Do you want the truth?”
“Absolutely.”
“So I can try and fuck you out of my system.”
That had to be the lamest line she’d ever heard. The droll look she gave him told him so. “Give me a break. Those skinny blondes don’t look a thing like me.”
“That’s exactly why I chose them. I…shit, I didn’t trust myself to be with a woman who looked like you.”
“Trust yourself to do what?”
“Not pretend they were you.”
“Did you pretend the woman at the club tonight was me?”
Burk dropped his gaze and exhaled a disgruntled sigh.
“Really?”
“Look, I’m not proud of it, but yeah…I did, a little.”
Guilt was one emotion Burk had never shown. She wasn’t thrilled that he’d thought of her while he was with someone else. The truth shamed him. Yet he’d shared that with her. Instead of being pissed, she found it almost endearing.
God, she was in way over her head. But that wasn’t going to deter her. A playful smile bloomed over her lips. “Hopefully, I’ll suck your cock much better than she did.”
He jerked his head back up. Surprise and anticipation lit up his face.
Oh, no. She wasn’t going to let him off the hook that easily. With a frown, she shook her head. “Why not just be honest with me from the start?”
“I could ask you that same question,” he challenged.
Touché. Instead of responding, she simply waited for him to answer.
“I don’t take rejection well.”
Sofia couldn’t help but snort. “Please! What woman in her right mind would ever turn you down?”
“I was afraid you might be the first.”
“The first?” She gaped at him in shock. “You mean…you’ve never been turned down for sex?”
Burk cringed. “Um, no.”
“Wow. You’re an even bigger man-whore than I thought.”
His smile disappeared instantly. “Ouch. Though I probably deserved that, too, it did hurt.”
“Indeed you do.” Sofia tried to scowl but couldn’t keep from smirking.
She’d never imagined having a civil conversation with the man, let alone this kind of playful banter. She found it heartwarming. Sofia definitely liked this new and improved yet slightly flawed version of Burk Jennings…liked it a lot.
“So,” Burk’s voice dipped in a slow, sensual drawl as he trailed a knuckle down her cheek. Goose bumps exploded over her arms, causing her nipples to draw up impossibly tighter. “How long have you been thinking about me when you touch yourself?”
Instantly, her cheeks caught fire and her mouth went dry. When she averted her gaze and lowered her lashes, Burk let out a low growl.
“Does it matter? I mean…you know, so…” Instead of the pithy reply she was going for, her tone was teeming with shame.
Crooking a finger beneath her chin, he lifted her face, forcing her gaze. He held it with an untamed stare as he brushed his thumb across her bottom lip. Unable to stop herself, she lightly nibbled the pad of his flesh.
He sucked in a sharp hiss. Sofia boldly opened and sucked his digit into her mouth and lewdly swirled her tongue around it. His nostrils flared. His pupils dilated, and from deep in his chest, a hoarse growl rolled off the back of his throat.
“Christ, I can’t wait until you wrap your lips around my cock. Your mouth feels like liquid velvet.”
The hunger in his words sent her pussy flowing and her heart soaring. Repositioning himself to hover over her, Burk aligned his hips to hers. Sofia lost her mind when he nestled his hot, hard erection at the entrance of her cunt. He carefully lowered himself until their chests meshed. He was all sculpted muscles and heat. Growing dizzier by the second, Sofia dragged her nails over the scruff of his face, delighting in the way the coarse hair tickled the pads of her fingers.
The tiny shudder rippling Burk’s body told her he was riding the razor’s edge as dangerously as she was. Good. He wasn’t immune to her, either. The playing field was even now.
Burk dipped his head and paused. His moist breath fluttered over her lips.
Anticipation tingled up her spine.
“Kiss me,” he growled in a tone equal parts impatience and demand.
Even if she’d wanted to, Sofia couldn’t have refused his request. And God help her, she wasn’t going to deny this man a damn thing. Lost in the feral gleam in his eyes and the earthy masculine scent of his body, she lifted her head from the pillow and pressed her lips to his.
Like lightning ricocheting from one summer storm cloud to the next, shards of electricity danced through her. The crush of desire breaking free sent a landslide of tremors quaking through her.
One kiss and Burk Jennings had her coming apart at the seams.
Sliding a hand in her hair, he cupped her scalp and took control of the kiss.
His lips were soft yet firm…fiery.
He tasted like passion and sin and the promise of naughty pleasures.
Like lava, her blood pumped, thick and hot.
Still, she needed more…much, much more.
As he swallowed the desperate noises bubbling from the back of her throat, Sofia rolled her hips.
That’s when the kiss turned savage.
His cock jerked and pulsed at her folds.
The need to feel him thrust deep in
side her, filling and stretching her empty cunt with his fat cock, was driving her insane.
As if sensing her impatience, Burk cinched his fist tightly in her hair. He held her firmly beneath his mouth…leaving no doubt who was in charge. He took command of her body like she’d fantasized a hundred times. Sofia trembled in delight and completely surrendered to him.
Using the tip of his tongue, he teased the seam of her lips. She instantly parted for him, welcoming the sensual sweep of slippery warmth. With a guttural moan, he delved deep, exploring every nook and cranny. Goose bumps peppered her flesh and she burned the soft texture of his swirling tongue to memory. She reached up and clutched his wide shoulders, awed by the feel of hard muscles flexing beneath such warm, soft skin.
Yes, she was giving herself wholly to him, but Sofia wasn’t going into this with blinders. There was a fifty-fifty chance she’d hate herself in the morning. But for tonight she planned to bask in every heart-chugging, mind-bending, pussy-throbbing second spent with this sexually gifted man.
As their tongues tangled, Burk skimmed a hand to her chest. She was nearly hyperventilating from his blistering kiss, but when he cupped her breast and strummed his thumb over her nipple, Sofia was all but crawling out of her skin. The ache to wiggle—eight or nine throbbing inches—downward and impale herself on his gorgeous cock zipped to an insane level.
Slowly lifting from her mouth, he stared down at her. His lips were red, wet, and slightly swollen. He’d never looked more gorgeous. She sent him a beseeching stare, to put out the hunger clawing inside her.
Something wicked and thoroughly thrilling skipped over his face. “Soon, you’ll be begging me, gorgeous. But tonight, I’ll simply savor any sweet control you’re willing to surrender.”
Before she could assure him she’d give him the moon and stars if he’d just shove his fat cock deep inside her, Burke dipped his head and sucked a rosy, crinkled nipple into his sweltering mouth.
Gasping at the sinful sensations sailing through her, Sofia sank her fingers in his wheat-colored hair and whimpered as he laved and nibbled her stony peak. She tossed her head back and ground her weeping pussy over his wide, slippery crest. Each scrape against her clit soared her higher to the stars.
The air weighed heavy with the pungent scent of sex, fusing with her forlorn whimpers and Burk’s low groans as he continued feasting magically on her breasts.
Chapter 4
Burk wasn’t proud that he’d lost count of the number of women he’d fucked. He’d supplemented the emotional void inside him with willing groupies as he spent years traveling from town to town.
Fucking was a way to cope with his loneliness.
Or rather, it had been.
Sofia changed everything.
The feel of her beneath him, writhing, whimpering, and surrendering her soul, was like finding a nugget of gold in an endless river of pebbles and sand.
She was turning him inside out in ways he’d never known possible. Burk intended to make sweet love to her all night long, and every night from now on if she’d let him.
When he’d first heard her moan his name, he feared she was sick. But when he parted her privacy curtain to find her hands busily working her glistening pussy, he’d nearly passed the fuck out. Burk had never seen anything as erotic as Sofia lost in a fantasy…about him. But when she breathlessly begged him to fuck her, he wanted to pinch himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. That’s when honor and self-preservation had kicked in and tried forcing him to walk away. But his heart, mind, and body had instantly rejected that idea.
Watching her lost in self-pleasure was the hottest, most ball-churning sight of his life, but doubly so because she’d already crawled deep inside his soul. He’d never met a woman like her. Sofia had been the first to challenge him, stand up to him, and throw his rock-star persona right back in his face. She was like a breath of fresh air, so sweet and pure it made him want to be a better man. She was the first woman out of thousands who made him truly feel alive.
She was even more gorgeous now that she was all in with what he intended to do to her. As he dragged his tongue down her lush, silky body, the muscles of her stomach bunched and rippled, making him doubly glad he hadn’t retreated to his bed and savagely jacked off.
Her soft, suffering moans were the sweetest song he’d ever heard. When he gently eased her onto her back, Sofia stared up at him, lust and a flutter of trust twinkling in her gray eyes. She was a sight to behold. The need to claim and own every cell in her lush body screamed through his veins like a wicked riff reverberating through an amplifier.
As he trailed his gaze over every curve and swell of her golden flesh, his cock gave an approving jerk. He locked eyes on the glossy nectar spilling from her swollen, pink folds. As he inhaled deeply, the scent of her musky, sweet nectar filled his mouth with saliva. She didn’t mask her natural fragrance with flowers or berry-scented shit. Her bouquet smelled musky…earthy…real. Forcing down the impulse to dive face first into her saturated curls, he skimmed his palms up and down her supple thighs as he settled onto his stomach.
He wanted to take his time and revel in every touch, every sinful noise she made, but impatience had him strung tighter than the strings on his Gibson. Still, Burk was determined to drown Sofia in so much mind-bending pleasure that she’d crave him like a goddamn drug.
Raw, unadulterated exhilaration flickered in her eyes as he pressed his lips to the inside of her thigh. He inched upward, peppering her silken skin with kisses, nibbles, and the swirling lave of his tongue until her dewy curls tickled his nose. When he paused, gently blowing on her distended clit, the hitch in her throat made him smile. He basked in her moans and shallow breaths as he paid homage to her other thigh.
“Spread your legs wide for me. I’m going to tongue fuck you and drink down all that sweet, slick nectar spilling from inside you…make you come and come until you can’t scream my name anymore.” Burk didn’t bother softening the edge of his command as he parted her wet folds with his thumbs.
“Oh, god,” she whispered in a shaky voice. A crimson blush stained her cheeks.
Burk suspected, no…he knew she’d fantasized about this. “You’ve thought about me going down on you, haven’t you, sweetheart?”
“Every night,” she boldly confessed. “But it’s not only that… What you just said…it was like you plucked the very words from my fantasies.”
He flashed her a devilish smile. “Let’s see if I can make the rest of them come true.”
“You already have.”
Her words filled him with pride, but she still hadn’t done as he’d asked. “I said wider,” he repeated in a harsh Dominant tone.
“Christ, Burk, I’m dying here,” she moaned, fully opening for him.
Christ is right...she’s beyond perfect.
“I’ll make it all better…promise.” Flattening his tongue, he placed it at her dripping entrance. He savored her erotic essence exploding over his taste buds as he swiped all the way up to her pebbled clit.
Fuck!
He’d wanted to be her drug of choice. But just one taste and Burk knew he was hooked…addicted. No rehab on the planet could prevent him from getting his fix of her.
Pouring his heart and soul into each swipe, flick, and stab of her velvety treasure, he worked two fingers into her quivering passage. Eating at her like a ravenous beast, Burk focused on dragging every ounce of pleasure from her panting, writhing body.
It didn’t take long before her muted whimpers escalated to breathless keening cries.
Mesmerized by the unfiltered pleasure playing across her face, he watched her smoky gray eyes lose focus. Sofia slapped a hand to the back of his head, holding his dancing tongue against her clit. Taking back control, he squeezed another finger inside her blistering tunnel and twisted his wrist. With nimble dexterity, he strummed her sensitive bundle of nerves.
Sofia groaned.
The walls of her pussy expanded.
Burk wrapped his
lips around her swollen nub and sucked hard.
Her sinful pussy clamped around his fingers like a velvety-liquid vise.
Eyes locked on hers, he stared in awe as an almost silent, high-pitched squeal bounced off the back of her throat, and she shattered all over his face. He dragged his fingers from inside her before spearing her clutching core with his tongue. Sofia whimpered and writhed while her clutching core milked each ardent stab. As her sweet cream spilled down his throat and dripped over his chin, he nearly lost his load in the tangled sheets.
Burk knew if he didn’t get inside her soon, he’d lose his fucking mind. But he couldn’t find the willpower to abandon her succulent and still flowing cunt.
Slowly gliding her back to earth, he begrudgingly lifted from her. The sight was so beguiling Burk inwardly cursed. He knew he should grab the box of condoms from his bunk, but the thought of putting any kind of barrier between them burned like acid. He knew he was clean. Even though he’d never fucked a band bunny without gloving up, or put his face anywhere near their pussies, he religiously got tested once a week. Still, he’d been an idiot to ever let Sofia see him saunter off with hordes of different women after their concerts. The chances she’d let him take her bareback were slim to none. Still, he had to ask…and fucking pray.
“Are you clean?” His voice was strained and brittle.
Her unintelligible response told him her pleasure centers were still singing.
Easing himself over her limp body, Burk aligned his cock to her heated entrance. Sofia sucked in a startled breath and brazenly rocked her hips. Aftershocks rippling through her made her swollen folds contract around his throbbing tip, like tiny, ball-blistering kisses.
“Look at me, Sofia,” he growled, trying to keep from impaling her in one hard thrust.
When the glassy film finally cleared, she sent him a sated smile. “That was…”
“Better than your fantasies?” He smirked.
“Beyond the entire universe.”
“I need to feel you, Sofia…feel your tight, hot cunt around my cock. But I want to feel all of you.” He brushed away the wild curls that had tangled around her face. “I’m clean, are you?”
