“Most of the year is pretty much like today. Finding people lost on the side of the road,” he said, stroking her arm. “Sometimes escaped livestock or bar fights, especially at the end of summer. But I’m part of the Search and Rescue team, and we get called into the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest more than I thought we would. Hiking in and out of the mountains carrying gear and sometimes a person made the bathroom the top priority for renovation after I bought this place. I’m not big on taking baths, but after this winter, I’m thinking of getting a hot tub out in the back yard. But this shower? My sister got married at one of those all-inclusive resorts, and they had a waterfall shower. I don’t use it very often, but when I do, I have to turn on the timer so I’ll actually leave before I use up all the water in Colorado.”
They brushed their teeth next to each other, and it felt almost as intimate as what they had just done on the spanking bench. She fought to remind herself that it only felt that way because she was leaving in a few days.
He paused in the hallway, and she turned to look at him.
“Outside that room, I’m not sure what you want, Tina.”
“Do you want me to address you as Sir?” She was confused. She hadn’t had a relationship with a Dom that existed outside a club before.
“No, that’s only in there.” He ran his hand through his hair, and she felt warmth gathering low in her belly again.
She reached out her hand to him, and he smiled as he took it.
He let her pull him closer, and then she suddenly felt unsure of herself.
“Eddie, I have to go home in a few days, but for now, would it be weird to fall asleep with you?”
She felt the flush hot across her chest before it flashed up her neck and cheeks.
His smile dazzled her, and she almost forgot to breathe.
Then his finger traced the top of the towel she was still wearing, setting her nerves on fire.
“Who said we’d be asleep?”
Fair enough.
She didn’t bother to look behind when she dropped her towel and walked into the bedroom.
She’d never felt this bold before, this daring.
Tina had only taken two steps before she was lifted in the air and tossed on the bed before a strong arm settled across her hips. She shrieked, then moaned as his mouth closed over her mound.
His free hand pushed one thigh over his shoulder and then ran up and down the back of it, brushing and squeezing the now pink marks from an hour earlier.
Then his tongue was flicking against her clit before zig-zagging down to her opening and pushing inside her. Then his lips were sucking her like he needed to have all of her with his mouth at once.
“Eddie,” she moaned, threading her hands into his close-cropped hair and dragging her nails against his scalp.
He mumbled into her, and the vibration caused her to catch her breath.
She tensed when he slipped a finger into her and stroked her until she came against his mouth and continued licking and sucking until she stopped clenching against his finger.
He licked his way up her body, nibbling at her nipples that were still swollen from the suction bulbs. The dusting of hair on his chest and thighs tickled her sensitive flesh. She rubbed her legs against his thighs, and he caught her eyes as he bit her nipple just enough for her to gasp and arch into him. He licked his way up her chest, holding her gaze as he slid his body higher.
She panted when she felt his cock nestled high between her legs and lifted her hips.
He nipped her chin and kissed up her cheek then pushed against her.
“Tina, you’re getting my cock all wet.”
She gasped and gripped the hard muscles of his ass. He lifted her leg high around his hip and flexed, rubbing his shaft against her.
He pushed away from her, and they both groaned. He kissed her nipples then sucked her clit before jumping off the bed.
“Don’t move!” He called as he raced down the hall. She heard a drawer slam and laughed, realizing he was grabbing condoms.
“You should probably grab a handful!”
She was laughing and rolled on her side to get a better look at the door. Her breath stuttered when he reappeared, tossing a handful of condoms on the bed.
How had she forgotten how perfect his body was?
He watched her as he rolled the condom on, and her mouth went dry.
Eddie flipped her on her back, pushed her legs apart, and licked her from her tight rosette to her clit. He kissed and sucked his way up her body again, faster than just a minute ago, and angled her hips to take shallow strokes until he was deep inside of her.
Tina angled up on her elbows so she could watch him sinking into her.
“That’s so sexy, watching my cock slide into you. Lay back. Let me take care of you.”
He kissed her, and she could taste herself on his lips as she laid back, rubbing her hands up his arms. He pulled her knees up to his armpits and then dragged her hips forward as he got on his knees. The back of her thighs and ass rubbed against his thighs and chest as he stroked into her, electrifying her sensitive skin.
She was moaning, feeling her breasts bouncing with his movements. She rubbed her hands against them and heard him groan.
She smiled up to him, licking her lips as she pinched and pulled her nipples. The electricity shot directly to her clit, and she started panting as she pinched them and pulled even harder.
“Touch your clit, Tina, make yourself come for me.”
He may claim not to be a Dom outside his den, but a shiver ran down her spine at his command. She touched herself and started coming, thrashing and bucking against him.
Her stomach was fluttering. She felt like she was turned inside out everywhere except where he was still inside her. He roared his release then leaned over to kiss her as their hearts were still racing.
Nine
Eddie listened to the soft sounds of Tina breathing against him as he spooned her.
He knew he should be tired, but he couldn’t seem to fall asleep, preferring to hold her and memorizing the feel of her soft skin against his.
He kissed her shoulder lightly and felt her stir. Then his stomach rumbled, and she stretched against him.
He kissed her shoulder again, feeling slightly guilty for waking her up.
“I never did make you dinner. Are you hungry?”
She turned in his arms, and he wished he left a light on somewhere so she could see her face.
“A little. I got distracted early and forgot.”
Eddie smiled, leaning down to kiss her. His body started heating, so he pulled away quickly before he forgot why they were both awake. He pulled out a sweatshirt for her that swallowed her up and pulled on sweatpants before leading her to his small kitchen.
He pulled out eggs and bacon, and at her nod, started cooking.
“Eddie, is it too early for coffee?”
He laughed. He realized he laughed more with her in the last few hours than he had in months.
“Everything’s in the cupboard above the coffeemaker if you want to start some,” he said before turning back to the bacon.
They shuffled in comfortable silence until everything was ready.
He watched her out of the corner of his eye as she moaned at the first bite. The freckles he’d hoped for were scattered around her nose and cheeks, and he fought the urge to kiss every single one of them.
She finished her eggs before reaching for her bacon, laughing when he tried to steal the other piece and smacking his hand away.
“Bacon’s like breakfast dessert, don’t you dare steal it.”
“I was worried you didn’t like it and didn’t want it to go to waste.” He smiled at her logic.
She looked at him, and he saw a question behind her eyes.
“What’s swimming in your head, Tina?”
She chewed her bacon slowly, and he waited patiently for her to swallow.
“I think you’re the only guy I know that keeps condoms n
ot in the bedroom.”
“I hadn’t even thought about that. I rarely have anyone over, and you’re the first woman that I’ve had sex with inside my den. I keep them in the bag with my favorite tools that I grab when I get ready to go to the club in Denver, even though I haven’t had sex with any of the women there in a very long time.” He saw her eyes narrow slightly.
“Honestly, the last time I had sex was a few months after I bought this house about three years ago. I had a girlfriend for a while there, but she hated how often I was gone, and I just switched to nightshift when I bought the house.”
“You haven’t? Even after going to the club?”
“Sometimes I’ll finish the scene jacking off on the subs back, but usually I’ll wait until I’ve taken care of the sub at the end of a scene and jack off in the bathroom.”
He felt the heat rushing to his face, but he didn’t want to hide anything from her.
Tina reached for her coffee mug but missed, sloshing a little on the table.
He watched her, not sure what part had stunned her.
“I thought I was having a dry spell. It’s been two years.”
“Two?”
“I’ve been so tired with work, traveling all the time and only being home long enough to do laundry and go to the dry cleaners before packing again, I haven’t even felt anything enough to want to go to the club much less have a boyfriend. I canceled my membership years ago.”
He leaned forward, grasping her hand as she wiped up the coffee with her napkin.
She looked up at him, and his world tilted again.
“Where’s your office?”
He didn’t know why this mattered to him so much, but it did.
“Brooklyn, but after I got this promotion last year, I think I’ve been there five or six times. I usually call in for meetings when I’m on-site setting up for a trade show or conference on Wednesdays.”
She shrugged, and he didn’t know how to feel. She didn’t look happy when she talked about her schedule.
“But you like it?”
She laughed softly. “I really used to, for the first few years. I was someone’s assistant, so I went once or twice a month after set up was complete, spent the rest of the time in the office taking care of the busywork. I used to think I could get a ton of experience and contacts and work for a local event planner in the city, but they are more uptight than I am. Then I moved to my brother’s place in the room over his garage because I was never home, and having a flat in the city didn’t make sense. I thought I could save money, see his kids, and connect with an event planner in upstate. The problem is, I’m hardly there, so making contacts has been on my to-do list for 14 months.”
She shrugged again, and he wanted to take away the shadow that had settled over her eyes. He stood, pulling her to him.
“I need to get ready for work soon, but I think you need some time in the den.”
She nodded against his chest, her breath heating his skin. He picked her up, cradling her against his chest.
“Do you want to stand or kneel?”
“Stand, and the flogger, Sir.”
He smiled, setting her down in front of the small desk in front of the window. He pulled the sweatshirt off her, then placed her hands on the top. He pressed a kiss to her shoulder before moving to the cabinet. She couldn’t see him, so he pulled out a condom and pocketed it before grabbing the flogger, just in case.
He stepped back to her, dragging the soft leather strips up one arm, across her chest, and then down the other. Her breathing was faster when he stepped away, lightly slapping the leather against her. He increased the intensity as he struck her, watching the skin of her back, ass, and thighs grow redder.
Eddie suddenly realized he’d forgotten to have her count. He wanted to use the flogger on himself for that. He couldn’t tell where she was, couldn’t see her face to judge it.
“Tell me how you are, Tina.”
“Close, Sir. Very close.”
“Good. Start counting for me, sweetheart, so I know when you get there.”
He started. Sweetheart? He was losing it, and fast.
He applied the flogger, a little harder now, and she got to fourteen before she was breathy. He went to twenty, and he could barely hear her.
When he set the flogger on the desk next to her hands, and she barely moved. Slowly, he smoothed his hands down her skin until she shivered, then led her out to his bedroom. He helped her lie down on her stomach, then returned with a warm washcloth, gently stroking over her skin.
She sighed when he finished, turning her face to him with a soft smile.
“Thank you.”
He leaned over, gently kissing her.
“Does your back feel okay enough for a shower?”
Tina nodded slowly, still in her happy place. He smiled and eased her into his arms, carrying her to the bathroom, wanting to do everything he could to keep her there.
He turned on the waterfall in the shower and helped her inside, watching her turn her face up to the water. She looked like some ancient goddess or one of the sirens from Greek mythology. He placed the condom from his pocket on the edge of the sink before stepping out of his sweatpants and joining her.
She leaned into him, wrapping her arms around his neck. He kissed her, water flowing over them. He pulled back so they could breathe, lightly stroking her back as she started nibbling and kissing his chest.
He felt her nipples tighten against him, so he pulled back enough to slide his hands to her chest, massaging her breasts when she started sucking on his skin. When she wrapped her hand around his dick and started stroking, he groaned and began rolling her nipples between his fingers.
He was about to kiss her again, but she licked and kissed her way down his chest until she was kneeling in front of him. He reached over to turn the waterfall off, smoothing her hair off her face as she took him in her mouth, rubbing her tongue against the underside of his head before sucking him further into her mouth.
Eddie shivered, watching his dick pumping into her mouth while her hand stroked him.
“That’s it, sweetheart.” He groaned when she reached up to cradle his balls before rolling them in her hand. She was moving faster now, and he felt the electricity in his lower back.
“Do you want me in your mouth or your pussy, Tina?”
She moaned around him, and he had to grit his teeth. She slowly pulled back until his head was touching her lips, her hand still pumping him but softer.
She looked up at him. “In my pussy, Eddie.”
He smiled, pulling her to her feet and placing her back against one of the walls. He hit a few buttons, and the sprayer on the walls pulsed water out, then he aimed the wand at her chest. He turned and grabbed the condom, rolling it on quickly.
When he turned back, she was squeezing her breasts. It was one of the most erotic things he’d seen, her back against the cool wall, the water cascading over her skin, her hands on her breasts, her nipples poking through her fingers.
He kissed her, pulling her legs up around his hips.
“You ready for me, sweetheart?”
She claimed his lips again and angled her hips, so his dick bumped her opening. He laughed into her mouth, but it turned into a groan as he slid inside.
He wished he had more hands. He wanted to play with her nipples while holding her up so he could stroke into her and also move back enough to see himself sliding in and out of her body. He settled on grasping her ass, holding her up between his body and the wall.
He angled her hips until he could hit her clit with each stroke. She pulled her mouth away, panting, her nails digging into his back.
“Eddie, more.”
“Hold on tight. I’m enjoying this pussy too much to stop.”
He shifted her again, this time taking her deeper and harder. He felt her tighten her walls around him.
When he growled, and he felt her walls go even tighter.
“That’s it, squeeze me tight. I want you t
o come on my dick. Come on, baby.” He urged her on, shifting her and pounding into her until she screamed.
He swallowed her scream, then groaned into her mouth as her body pulled the orgasm out of him.
She clung to him, and he wished he had a ledge or seat in his shower now so he could hold her, buried deep inside her, while they both recovered. Although he wasn’t sure if he would recover from being with her and didn’t think he wanted to be.
Then he heard his alarm going off. He kissed Tina again before slowly pulling out of her.
Ten
Eddie hadn’t been kidding about hardly being home.
He’d stopped by during the middle of the days with take-out from the diner. He was so handsome in his uniform, strong and tall and drool-worthy that she had to stop herself from jumping on him physically. Both because he was still on-duty and because he’d been adamant that she not come near him until he stripped, throwing his uniform in the dryer and showering to make sure he didn’t pass anything to her from being out with the public.
Tina laughed when he told her he was setting two alarms in the mornings for the rest of her stay the first day he dropped off lunch and dinner, one to play, and one to get ready for work.
But her favorite time of day was when he came home.
Friday, she’d fallen asleep before he came home. He’d slid in bed next to her after showering and pulled her against him. Saturday, the sound of the shower woke her up, and he convinced her to join him when she peeked in.
But Sunday was different. He came home hours before midnight and earlier than usual, throwing his uniform in the dryer before jumping into the shower.
He reappeared minutes later, wrapped in a towel, and offered his hand to her, drawing her up from the couch.
“Tina, I need…”
She nodded, walking with him to the den. As soon as he stepped into the room, she fell to her knees before him.
“What do you need tonight, Sir?”
“I want to tie you upright and use my hands and the flogger.”
“Yes, Sir. I want that too.”
