Just A Kiss

by Morgan Rayne

  “Yes.” Victoria turned slightly, placing a kiss against his temple before whispering the rest near his ear. “I want this.” He trembled again, so Victoria decided to go for broke. “I want you.”

  “Thank God.” Was all he said before his lips slashed across hers in a fast aggressive kiss. Nipping her bottom lip as he pulled away.

  Victoria was still trying to catch her breath when Cooper reached over and turned off the water then tugged her out of the shower stall.

  Victoria’s skin was instantly covered in goose bumps as the cooler air of the bathroom made contact with her overheated skin, but Cooper plastered his body to hers making her shiver for an entirely different reason.

  “Are you cold?” He asked as he continued to move them further away from the shower and closer to the door. Kissing and caressing Victoria’s body with every step.

  “I’m fine.”

  There was no way she was going to say anything that might make him stop touching her. The smooth tile under her feet gave way to carpet as they entered the hallway, and then her feet didn’t feel anything but air as Cooper scooped her up and pressed her into the wall next to his door.

  “You feel so good.”

  Cooper’s mouth was near her ear causing even more shivers as he buried his face in her hair and inhaled.

  “God, you smell good too. Your perfume has been driving me crazy for weeks. It’s like you roll around in a field of flowers every morning or something.”

  The idea of that would have made her laugh if Cooper hadn’t stuck his tongue in her ear a second later. Scrambling what was left of Victoria’s brain cells.

  “Please.” She gasped. Victoria didn’t know what she was asking for, but knew if she didn’t get some relief soon her body would crack under the pressure.

  Cooper teased her ear a few more times before pressing a line of kisses down her neck and stopped just before he reached her breasts. Victoria tried to shove his head lower, but Cooper was ready for that and grabbed her wrist before she made contact.

  “Damn it.”

  “Oh Victoria” Cooper said with a mix of humor and exasperation. “And you were doing so well.”

  He started to lower her to the floor, but Victoria squeezed her legs tightly around his waist.

  “No.”

  Cooper paused and smirked.

  Smug bastard.

  When this was all over with she was going to kick his ass into next week, but until then she needed to think of something to say and fast. Everything about this game was unnatural to her, and Victoria just wanted him to take her hard and fast so they could get back on even ground.

  Victoria was still trying to think of what to say when Cooper began to lower her again. This time the words came flying out before she could pull them back.

  “Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll behave. Just please don’t stop.”

  Victoria closed her eyes and banged the back of her head against the wall. Had the words I’ll behave actually came out of her mouth? God she was pathetic. She was pretty sure that statement alone set the women’s movement back forty years, but when Cooper pulled her tightly against his body once again Victoria decided she could worry about that later.

  “I have no intention of stopping, Victoria.”

  Her eyes flew open and the smug look was still on his face. Cooper had been toying with her and she fell for it.

  Victoria started to open her mouth and end this game before she could make an even bigger fool of herself, but Cooper took her mouth in another heart stopping kiss that she knew she should stop, but couldn’t.

  When they were both breathing heavily, Cooper licked his lips and smiled.

  “That is, until” he took a deep breath, and then another, and the suspense was more than she could take.

  “That is until what?”

  Cooper gave her the same dark look as earlier. The one that promised all sorts of naughty things and Victoria’s sex pulsated with anticipation.

  “That is until we’re both lying in a sweaty sated heap. So worn out that the only thing we can do is fall asleep to the beating of our own hearts. Then, and only then, will I stop.”

  Any remaining anger fled as Cooper’s words painted a picture she couldn’t wait to be a part of.

  Victoria’s breath caught when Cooper spun her away from the wall and began walking quickly to the bedroom. Not slowing down until her skin touched the satin sheets of the bed and he covered her with his naked body.

  Letting the warmth of Cooper’s body sink into hers, Victoria knew she had never felt this way before. So utterly consumed by a man that she forgot all about control and went wherever he took her. For the protection of her mind and body Victoria tried to hold onto small pieces of herself, but when Cooper began kissing his way down her body it became a useless fight and she fell a little further under his spell.

  Chapter 12

  “You’re so beautiful. I’ve wanted to touch you, to taste you since the day we met.”

  Cooper wasn’t normally one for talking in bed other than a few random words here and there, but with Victoria he couldn’t seem to shut up. He felt the need to tell her exactly what she did to him, and if her bodies’ reaction was anything to go by his words were turning her on just as much.

  Unlike a lot of the women he had been with, Victoria seemed completely at ease with her body. She didn’t ask for the light to be turned out or for the curtains to be closed. She didn’t pull the covers over herself and try to hide from him or fish for compliments. No, Victoria simply laid on top of the covers, in all her naked glory, and let him taste every inch of her. Moaning or whimpering when he did something she really liked.

  A few drops of water still dotted the skin near her breasts, so Cooper licked and sucked all of them. Working his way down her chest until he was hovering over her nipple. With just the tip of his tongue, Cooper swirled the rose colored bud and manipulated it until he felt Victoria begin to squirm.

  “Cooper.” Victoria gasped his name and arched off the bed as his mouth closed over her breast.

  Taking the hardened peak between his teeth Cooper lightly bit down before soothing the hurt with his tongue. Victoria’s hips lifted against his thigh and he could tell she was trying to get some relief, but he was in control right now and he knew it would be so much better for both of them if she waited.

  Releasing her nipple with a pop, Cooper pulled his body away from hers until he was kneeling between her thighs.

  “There’s no rush. I want to take my time worshipping you from top to bottom, so lay there and relax. I’ve got you.”

  As he spoke, Cooper lightly ran his fingers up and down Victoria’s leg. When her legs started to open wider Cooper stopped and pulled away as Victoria groaned in frustration.

  “Giving up control isn’t just about following orders.” He said. “It’s about putting your pleasure in someone else’s hands and trusting them to take you to places you’ve never gone before. Can you trust me to do that for you, Victoria?”

  Victoria bit her lip and refused to look at him. Instead fixing her gaze on the ceiling and Cooper cursed himself. He and Victoria may be playing a sensual game, but there were still very real issues in her world and trust was obviously a big one.

  Grasping her chin lightly between his thumb and finger, Cooper tugged until he was once again looking into her bright blue eyes.

  Putting aside all commands and domination, Cooper looked deep into Victoria’s eyes, getting lost for a moment in the ocean blue depths, and made his tone as gentle as possible.

  “I want you to trust me. I want to try things that I’m positive will make you fly higher than you’ve ever flown before. Things that go against every one of your natural instincts, but if at any time you are uncomfortable all you have to do is say the word and I’ll stop. Okay?”

  Cooper hoped his words were getting through to her because the last thing he wanted to do was scare her or, God forbid, do something that made her think of her pas
t. Cooper knew it was a risk, but Victoria was strong enough to tell him if he crossed a line or was even getting near one, so his fears were somewhat lessened.

  Victoria’s eyes were opened wide, giving Cooper an unobstructed view of her internal war. Panic, desire and a little bit of trepidation all did battle until he was sure Victoria was going to get up and run, not walk, to her room.

  When it felt like the battle would never end, Cooper couldn’t take it anymore and raised his hand to her cheek, stroking over the soft skin.

  “It all boils down to one important thing, so I’ll ask you again. Can you trust me? Because if the answer is no then there’s no need to go any further.”

  When she continued to give him that wide-eyed stare, Cooper sighed heavily and pulled his hand back. It wasn’t disappointment that he felt, but a sense of loss. Which was crazy because how can you feel like you lost something that was never yours to begin with?

  Cooper started scanning the room for something to cover up with when Victoria touched his arm and brought his attention back to her. He expected to see the same struggles as before, but this time all he saw when he looked into her eyes was determination.

  “I want this. I may not know why right now, but I do know that I don’t want to get out of this bed before I find out.”

  Cooper held his breath, waiting to hear the words that would give him the green light, and thankfully Victoria didn’t make him wait long.

  “It won’t be easy, but I trust you to help me figure it out.”

  Cooper closed his eyes and basked in the glow her words caused inside him. Victoria was giving him something that she probably didn’t give a lot of people. She was giving him her trust. While Cooper was letting the enormity of that gesture sink in an idea came to him and he slid off the bed a second later.

  “What are you doing?” Victoria asked, clearly confused as he started rummaging through his suitcase and finally found what he was looking for. Holding his treasure close to his chest, Cooper took a deep breath.

  “You’re sure you trust me?”

  An exasperated sigh came from behind him, and Cooper was sure she was rolling her eyes.

  “Yes Cooper, I told you I trust you.”

  Cooper’s back was to her, so when he smiled a goofy grin he was glad she couldn’t see him. After taking a second to slip back into the role he was supposed to be playing, Cooper turned around and held up a white silk tie for her to see.

  “Good because I think you’ve seen enough for now.”

  There was a quick intake of breath then Victoria started shaking her head frantically.

  “I can’t…I,” She stammered and Cooper was at her side in two fast strides. Running his hand soothingly up and down her arms.

  “Shh, it’s okay.” He spoke to her like he would a frightened animal.

  Dropping the tie on the bed beside her, Cooper pulled her into his arms until she was sitting sideways on his lap. Stroking his hand through her hair, he waited for the trembling to slow before he spoke again.

  “What about being blindfolded scares you?”

  “Everything, I guess.” Her answer made him smile.

  “You want to maybe narrow that down a bit? I’d like to get to the making-you-feel-good portion of the evening at some point, but I can’t do that if your too busy worrying about other things.”

  Another sigh, and then Victoria lifted her head to look at him.

  “If I’m blindfolded I won’t be able to see what you’re doing. How do I know you won’t take pictures or something?” Cooper jerked back as if she had slapped him.

  Barely controlling the anger her words caused, Cooper closed his eyes and tried to remind himself with whom he was dealing.

  Victoria was a carefully thought out person and her question was coming from the logical side of her brain. That logic was what made her such a great businesswoman, but logic had a time and place and now wasn’t it. When he opened his eyes this time, Cooper saw things more clearly.

  Thinking carefully about what he wanted to say, Cooper made sure to weigh each word before he said it.

  “Victoria, do you really think I would do something like that?” Her head began to shake almost before he finished his question, and Cooper breathed a little easier. “Good because I would hate to think you thought so little of me.” He sighed. “This isn’t about humiliation.”

  “Then what is it about?” She asked quickly.

  Cooper had only done this one other time, but he could still remember his partner coming apart from the smallest touch. Later she told him the lack of sight heightened all her other senses, making it that much better.

  Thinking about a previous lover while in bed with your current probably wasn’t the greatest idea, but now Cooper had an idea of how to explain this to Victoria.

  “Lie back on the bed and close your eyes.” She eyed him warily. “Trust me.”

  That seemed to be the magic word because Victoria did as he asked and positioned herself against the pillows. Closing her eyes as she settled.

  “Now I’m going to touch you. If you open your eyes, I will stop. Understood?”

  Victoria nodded.

  “Good.”

  Positioning himself near the foot of the bed, Cooper took a second to admire Victoria’s body. Her blonde hair was spread out around her like a halo making her appear almost angelic as she lay there with her eyes closed. Her chest was rising and falling in uneven waves, and her lightly tanned skin had a red blush extending from head to toe. Toes that were painted the sexiest shade of pink he had ever seen.

  Picking up her right foot, Cooper began a gentle massage and worked the arch until he felt all the knots loosen. Confusion twisted Victoria’s face but to her credit she didn’t say anything, and she kept her eyes closed.

  “How does that feel?”

  “Really good, but…” Just then Cooper sucked her big toe into his mouth and Victoria gasped as she arched off the bed. Cooper rolled his tongue along the pad of her toe before sucking harder as he pulled away.

  “But what?” He asked slyly, placing her foot on the bed and picking up the next. Massaging it in much the same way he had her right.

  Cooper could see the anticipation written all over her face. Waiting for him to put his mouth on her again, but this time Cooper stuck to just the massage.

  A groan of frustration came when he lowered her foot back to the bed, and Cooper shook his head. If she was this turned on from a suck of her toe he couldn’t wait to see how she reacted when they really got started.

  During their time in the shower and on the bed Cooper had tried to avoid looking at the bare flesh between Victoria’s thighs for purely self-preservation purposes. He knew one look at the perfectly pink folds wet and swollen with arousal would take him so close to the edge that it would be hard to take things as slow as they needed to.

  Now he had no choice but to focus on the apex of Victoria’s thighs and sure enough, his cock grew another painful inch. Victoria’s sex glistened with moisture and all Cooper wanted to do was stick his tongue between her lips until another wave of arousal coated it.

  When he had touched her in the living room it almost killed him to walk away, but now there was no chance of that happening. Cooper was going to use more than his finger to drive her crazy. Starting now.

  Kissing his way up the inside of her leg, Cooper pushed her open wider. Maneuvering himself between her thighs until her legs rested on his shoulders. With his eyes and ears trained on every reaction coming from Victoria, Cooper lowered his mouth to her and took one long slow swipe of his tongue from opening to clit.

  “Ohhhh.... fuck.”

  Cooper couldn’t agree with her moan more. The taste of her burst on his tongue and Cooper reached down to put a strangle hold on his cock. He had never come from eating a woman out before, but he was damn close now. One swipe of his tongue through her sweet juices and Cooper had almost embarrassed himself by shooting all over the sheets rubbing against him. He felt like a tee
nager getting to third base for the first time.

  Not wanting to take any chances, Cooper got his knees under him. With his dick now a safe distance away from the sheets and his orgasm halted for the moment, Cooper went back to tasting the sweetest pussy ever created.

  His mouth barely made contact the second time when the thighs resting on his shoulders tightened like a snake strangling its prey. Cooper found her swollen nub a second later, sucking it into his mouth and giving it a few firm licks as Victoria’s climax hit hard and fast bringing her to an almost seated position.

  Cooper kept up his sensual assault until her orgasm subsided and her body finally fell back to the bed. With one final swipe of his tongue that made an already spent Victoria quiver, Cooper repositioned himself above her. Moving so his hands covered her stomach and his chin rested on his hands.

  “Open your eyes, Victoria.” It took her a few tries, but eventually her eyes fluttered open and she looked down at him.

  “Hi.”

  “Hi.” She said breathlessly.

  “You kept your eyes closed.” Victoria panted out a short laugh.

  “You sound surprised.” Cooper smiled.

  “A little, but I’m glad you did.”

  She opened her eyes once again and gave him a pleased smile.

  “Me too.”

  The simple act of lying together and talking felt so natural it almost made Cooper forget about his lack of orgasm. That was until Victoria reached a hand out and snagged the tie he had tossed aside earlier and dangled it in front of him.

  “I think I’m ready for this now.”

  Cooper had no doubt she was ready, or that she would look hot blindfolded as he entered her, but the first time they came together he wanted to be able to look deep into her eyes. Victoria’s eyes were his only path to how she was truly feeling at any moment, and he didn’t want anything to take that away from him.

  Taking the tie from her hand, Cooper shook his head and tossed it on the floor. Victoria cocked her head to the side.

  “I thought…”

  “I know what you thought, but we don’t need that now.”
