Her eyes lit up and she flicked my ear with her tongue. "Yep."
I cupped her chin in my hand and made her look at me. "I'd have given you all the time and pleasure you needed."
She looked down and drew circles on my chest with her finger as if she knew I wasn't just talking about tonight. "I know, but this was more fun, especially for you."
"Can't argue with that." I pressed her back against the bed and kissed her bare skin, nibbling all over while my brain pulled itself back together. My body responded more slowly, but I didn't mind.
I sat up and looked at her, naked and patient. "Show me what you want."
Talia spread her legs and her cunt opened like a blooming rose, beautiful and beckoning. I reached out and stroked each pink petal while she shivered and sighed. Her silky folds swirled hot and damp around my finger. I lay down between her thighs and touched my tongue to her, searching for the center bud.
"Right there." She moaned and curled her fingers in my hair. I looked up at her and watched her face, eyes squeezed shut, lips silently pleading. Is she asking for me?
I decided not to wonder who was in her head and buried my face in her pussy. She gasped as I suckled her, pulling on her clit until she came.
"More."
I avoided her overly sensitive flesh and slipped two fingers inside her, stroking and twisting until she could take my tongue again. "I can keep you coming all night, babe. Maybe I will, just so you won't forget who did this to you." I punctuated that with a tongue-stab to her clit.
"Will!" She arched and clamped her thighs together, but I shoved them apart and pinned her knees to the bed. I held her open and ate that delicious pussy, feasting on her like a last meal. She squirmed and groaned, pulling at her nipples with both hands. "I need... inside me... need you."
I jammed my fingers into her and she cried out. She wrapped her free leg around my shoulders, but I held the other one captive.
Her head thrashed on the pillow, tossing her hair in her face. "Yes, yes, that's it!" She arched into my mouth while I licked up her heated juices. "Mmm... are you feeling it too?"
What? Pain, regret, jealousy... not just lust... something else, too. Where did it come from? Maybe I couldn't fuck her without letting out every emotion I'd kept from her—and from me.
She slipped her leg under me, wiggling down until her foot touched my cock. "Ooo... I feel that."
I did, too. Hot tingles brought me back to life. I released her other leg and she trapped my cock between both feet, stoking the revitalizing fire.
"Make me come one more time and then you'll be ready."
I groaned on her hot flesh and she squealed. One more time. Just once more. It wouldn't take much. Another finger... or four. A well-placed lick. A good, hard suck.
"Oh Will! Yes. Oh God, yes! Ohh...." Her toes curled around my cock so hard, I thought she would pull it off.
After she released me safely, I crawled over the top of her. "You're my favorite slut." I kissed her before she could lie and call me her favorite anything.
We rolled to our sides, facing each other, and she grabbed my cock, stroking and rubbing while I groped her ass and kissed her. My dick got hard in her talented hand, and I realized how much I'd missed her. Her hands had always made me rise to the occasion, and sometimes just seeing her fingers slide through her hair as she brushed it off her face tingled my cock with anticipation.
Don't dwell on the past. But the memories stirred an erection stronger than the one I'd had while she sucked me off.
And she noticed. "Mmm... what should we do with this?"
"Anything you want."
She lay on her stomach, and wiggled the ass I'd marked a few days ago.
I cringed. "That looks awful."
She gasped and pouted. "What?"
"The bruise."
"Oh." Talia smiled and ran her fingers over the purple and yellow mark. "I like it."
I held her hand in mine as we caressed her ass. "I'm sorry. I never should've hurt you like that."
"No apologies. I got what I wanted." She withdrew her hand and reached for my thigh. "Can you guess what I want now?" She got up on her knees, and pressed her face into the pillow as she raised her ass in the air.
The girl loved dick, no doubt about that, and tonight she wanted mine. As much as I wanted to ram my cock into that sweet little ass and watch it pop out her eyeballs, I couldn't fight off the desire to treat this girl with some respect. She deserved that much after all the shit she'd taken from me.
I moved behind her and rubbed my straining cock between her thighs while I bent down and kissed her shoulders. She reached back and grabbed my hard-on, trying to shove it into her wet pussy.
"Mmm... patience, babe." I brushed her hair off her neck and flicked my tongue under her ear. "I want to spend some time adoring your body before I defile it."
She shivered and cupped her breast. "You always could make sweet sound dirty."
"Mm-hmm." My hand caught hers and we massaged her breast while I nibbled and licked her shoulders. I ran my fingertips down her back, circling and stroking.
"Ooo... don't stop."
"Don't plan to." I leaned over and caressed her body with mine, rubbing my cock along her slit as my chest dragged against her back. I melted over her like a stick of butter on a hot loaf of bread, blending into her and leaving some of myself behind.
I flicked my tongue in her ear. "Up on your knees."
"Hm?"
"Like this." I lifted her up and pressed her palms against the wall. My erection slid up her belly as I moved in close behind her. I placed my hands over hers and repositioned my cock, slipping in slowly, taking her body a breath at a time.
She leaned her head back on my shoulder, and I kissed her open mouth, stroking her tongue and sucking her lip. She wiggled a hand free and grabbed my ass, guiding my thrusts while I teased her clit with my fingers.
Her breath caught as I put my hand on her throat and held her. She grabbed the top of the headboard, clinging with curled fingers. She came with soft moans and quiet shudders, squeezing my cock inside her hot pussy.
"Harder," she gasped.
I slammed into her cunt, smashing her body against the wall.
"Oh my God!" She cried out as the ridged headboard left welts on her skin.
I stroked her neck and panted in her ear. "Is that what you wanted?"
"Yes." But she shook her head. "Squeeze harder."
Squeeze? My hand? I curled my fingers into her throat just slightly, testing. "This?"
She gasped and nodded as her pussy clenched. Fire raced along my cock as her eyes closed and she convulsed. Holy shit! I let go and she collapsed against my chest, panting and... laughing?
"Talia, are you okay?"
"Mmm...." She slid her hand behind my neck. "Dear God, Will. You have no idea.... I come so hard when...." Her body twitched again and she pulled my hair. I let go of her and she slid down my chest and curled up on the bed with a satisfied smile on her face.
What just happened? I lay beside her and rubbed my stinging scalp, trying to piece together what had occurred, but comprehension eluded me. She came harder than I'd ever experienced, and all I did was... fucking scary.
I pulled the covers back, and we crawled between the sheets. She rolled into my arms and kissed me, stretching out while my still hard cock slipped between her thighs. "Oh hi." She reached down and stroked me. "I'll finish you later. I need a little rest." She snuggled against my chest and went to sleep.
Sometime later, no idea when, she rolled on her back and her thighs fell apart. An invitation? Her eyes remained closed, passive until I touched her flat nipple and it stiffened in my palm. A tiny smile lifted the corner of her mouth, and that was all the encouragement I needed.
I slid on top of her and kissed that naughty grin. "Had enough rest?"
"Have you?"
I grunted and rubbed my instant hard-on between her legs, coaxing her juices from the inside out. "Always wet."
"Always hard." She shifted and my cock penetrated her.
"Only with you." With other women, I had to make an effort to get it up, but with Talia, all I needed was an opportunity.
She wrapped her legs around my waist and we rocked together, sliding and stroking, locked together in a carnal kiss. I twisted my fingers with hers and stretched our arms out. Her body rose as I kissed her, and we fucked in a tangled knot of skin and sweat. She moaned and whispered words that made no sense. Sometimes not even words. I maintained my grip, afraid if I let go, she'd slip away from me for good.
"I need you," she sighed on my skin.
"But you don't want me."
"Yes, I–Oh!" She squealed and protested as I grabbed her hair and yanked her head back. A devious smile danced in her eyes. "I want you, too."
Too? I refused to listen to any more of her sweet, confusing words.
She gasped and panted while I pounded her, shattering the walls between truth and deception. I'd promised myself I'd never let her own my head—or my heart—again, but my resolve crumbled like a sandcastle in a hurricane. Relentless waves battered my body, and a violent riptide pulled me under. I surrendered, drowning in a whirlpool of bliss.
When I could breathe again, Talia lay beneath me, our bodies still sticky and twisted. She sighed and trailed her fingertips through my hair, down my back. Had she come, too?
"You okay?" She touched my cheek. "You were out if it for quite a while."
"Hm? Yeah. Just catching my breath." I squeezed her waist and she groaned.
"You're squashing me."
"I know." I kissed her cheek and she giggled.
"Let go."
"Don't want to." But I rolled over and took her with me. "Better?"
"Mmm...." Her hair spilled into my face as she leaned down and kissed me. Then she patted my shoulder and stood up. "Need water."
I watched her cute little ass wiggle as she walked naked to the fridge.
She opened the door and looked at me. "Want something?"
"No. I'm good."
She cracked open a bottle of water and took a big gulp. Too much, too fast. Water splashed down her chest and dripped from her nipple. "Woo! That's cold."
"Com'ere."
"Just one second." She tapped a key on her laptop and woke up the screen. I watched over her shoulder as she checked her email. "Nothing, damn it."
"Expecting something?" Stupid question. What's wrong with you?
"No. Just hoping." She sat on the edge of the bed and set the water bottle on the nightstand. Then she sighed and cuddled up with me. "I love your big, hard body. You're so strong and comforting... secure. I only feel that way with you."
Scary but exciting. She'd said she only felt that way with Alex. I pulled the sheet over her bare shoulder and curled my finger under her chin. "Did you come?"
"Which time?"
"Every time."
"Yes." She smiled and snuggled against my chest.
As if it mattered. Talia could have a thousand orgasms, but one man couldn't keep her happy. That's what matters. I want to make her happy. But I couldn't. Not by myself. "I don't want you with Alex."
"What?" She'd been trying to sleep, so my statement hadn't sunk in.
"But I want you to be happy. So if you really want him... I'll see what I can do." I reached over and turned off the light so I wouldn't have to see the excitement in her eyes.
***
Alex always hired the sexiest assistants. Her snug black skirt slid up her silky thighs as she crossed her legs and picked up the phone. She'd buttoned her blouse up to her chin, but I got a peek at a red lace bra when it popped open as she reached for a pen.
"Thanks. I'll tell him." She smiled at me as she put the receiver down. Pretty blue eyes sparkled behind a strand of soft brown hair. "He's on his way up, Mr. Barnett."
"Call me Will. And you are...?"
"Claire." She blushed and shook my hand. Soft, soft skin made to be touched. "Can I get you something to drink?"
"Coffee, please."
"Yes, sir." She disappeared down a small hallway.
I'd left Talia's room before she woke up, and went back to mine for a quick shower and a horrible cup of weak instant coffee. I needed something with hair on its chest to get through this meeting.
The clack of three-inch heels on ceramic tile got my attention. Claire handed me a steaming cup of black coffee strong enough to throw me through the window. "That's what I needed. Thank you."
"My pleasure." Her subdued tone left no doubt that serving was indeed her pleasure.
"Hey." The office door swung open and Alex walked in. "Didn't expect to see you today."
"Didn't expect to be here." When Talia called me, I'd only intended to see her. But now I had a mission, a purpose.
"What's going on?"
I glanced at Claire, busy at her computer, and nodded toward Alex's office. He escorted me inside.
"No calls, Claire."
"Yes, sir."
He closed the door behind us and leaned back on it, crossing his arms as if guarding himself against me. "I see you still have a scar on your lip."
"Yeah. Damn thing won't fade."
A snarling grin twisted his lips. "Nice."
"Your paralegal's cute." I raised my cup toward the outer office. "Fucked her yet?"
"No. Thought about it, but I don't want to risk my job."
"Thinking with your head instead of your dick for a change. I'm impressed."
His jaw twitched. "Did you come here to snipe at me or do you have a point?"
Might have been fun to needle Alex some more, but I didn't want to waste my whole day on him. "Stop being an asshole."
"In general or to someone specific?"
"Talia."
He rubbed the back of his neck and scowled. "Yeah, I figured she had something to do with this. Fucked her yet?"
"Made her come four times last night—no—five, but I'm not here to gloat." But it felt damn good. "Grow up and treat her right."
"This from the guy bragging about banging her?"
Ouch. Got me. "Okay, I'll back off that. But I'm serious about what you did to her."
His fists clenched, and he took a step toward me. "Just what the fuck did I do?"
I stood my ground. "No more games. She's not our little plaything anymore. Never should've been."
His hands uncurled, and his shoulders sagged. "Yeah, I know. But she's gotten a lot stronger since we screwed her over."
"And that's why you—we—need to man up and handle her like something precious. She'll break if we keep mistreating her." I finished my coffee and looked for a trash can. Not seeing one, I lobbed the empty cup at his head.
Alex caught it one-handed and laughed. "She told me she likes that."
She'd come harder than I'd ever felt when I put my hand on her throat. "Mistreating her emotions."
He walked behind his desk and jammed the cup in the trash. "She's done the same damn thing to me."
"This isn't about you!" I slammed my fists down on his desk. "Stop being so fucking selfish and give her what she needs."
He lunged forward, fists clenching as if he wanted to hit me. "And just what the hell is that?"
I stepped back and plopped down in a chair. "Beats the hell out of me, but when she figures that out, you'll be the first to know."
"I will?" He walked around his desk and sat on the edge, leaning over me like he couldn't wait to hear more.
"She wants you. Last night with me... that was goodbye."
"Did she say that?"
"She didn't have to." I'd purposely left without saying it, before she had a chance to say it to me. As long as neither one of us said it was over, maybe....
"But she said she wants me." Hope lit his eyes.
"Yeah." Admitting that required more coffee. "But if you don't make her happy, I'll kick your ass over the Rockies." I swung my foot up between his legs, stopping short of his crotch when he flinched. He got the idea.
&
nbsp; "I'll let you do it. She deserves better than me."
"Goddamn right." Better than us. She'd said she wanted me, too, but I kept that detail for myself. "So you need to be the best man for her."
He propped his chin up with his fist and rubbed his jaw. "Without letting her get bored."
I laughed and stood up. "Good luck."
Alex stood with me and shook my hand. "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"Got time for a beer?" He opened the door and we walked out to the lobby.
"Sure."
"Court will be done by five. Meet me back here and we'll go grab a cold one."
"Sounds good." I turned to Claire, about to ask for another cup of coffee, but the question caught in my throat when I spotted her companion.
Talia stood beside Claire's desk, her lips pressed into a hard line. "I thought you were leaving this morning."
"Flight got delayed. I'm stuck here tonight."
Her eyes narrowed. "Where are you staying?"
"I have a room."
"I see." She grabbed her laptop case and walked into the conference room.
I couldn't help grinning at Alex. "She's all yours."
"Thanks." He rolled his eyes and followed her.
Claire slid her chair back. "So you and Talia know each other?"
Not answering that question. "Great coffee. Can I get another one for the road?"
"Sure." She disappeared again. She'd kicked off her heels, revealing cherry-red painted toenails in silky stockings. Her footsteps fell softly on the hard floor. "Where are you headed?"
"No idea. What do you recommend?"
She sat behind her desk and rested her chin in her hands. A wistful sigh escaped her. "If I had a day to myself, I'd take a drive to the mountains."
"Want to play tour guide?"
Claire smiled and glanced at the closed conference room door. "I'd love to get away, but Alex wouldn't be too pleased about that."
"I doubt he'd even notice. She'll have him wrapped up all day."
She shook her head. "I have too much work." And with that, her phone rang. She picked up the receiver and immediately punched the hold button. A sweet tempting smile danced in her eyes. "But if you come back, let me know in advance."
"I'll remember that." I walked through the door and looked out the window at the mountains. Most of the snowcap had melted, but the highest peaks still bore patches of white. The clear blue sky stretched for miles in every direction. Beautiful country. A man could be tempted to stay here... if she did.
