Sweet Seduction

by Nikki Winter

  “Done,” Felix growled before he reached down and pinched her clit sending her spiraling into the abyss that was her climax.

  Paige’s throat went hoarse when she called out his name once again as her body seized in spasms that caused her to almost swallow her tongue. Somewhere in the distance, she heard his roar of release before she began to float to earth again.

  Panting from exertion of the best kind, Felix kissed the insides of Paige’s ankles and let her legs down. She moved and he grunted, “Unh-unh. Stay still.” When she stopped he gently pulled out of the welcoming warmth that was her body.

  Stumbling from the bed, he made his way into the bathroom and found a clean cloth. He cleaned himself first then found another and doused it in warm water. Walking on shaky legs back to Paige, he gently cleaned her, knowing she’d probably be sore in the morning. She sighed but didn’t make a move or open her eyes. Felix took the cloth back into the bathroom to dump it in the hamper and gathered all his strength to make it back to his bed where the love of his life was fast asleep. A sweet smile played along the corners of her lush mouth, one hand fisted under her cheek as she dozed on her side.

  Grinning broadly, Felix turned off the lights and climbed into bed beside her. Pulling the duvet over them, he tugged her to his chest until she rested comfortably against him and kissed her forehead. “I love you. More than you’ll ever know,” he whispered against her hair. He didn’t expect a response and the way she snuggled into him tighter was enough for him to close his eyes and drift off into the most contented sleep he’d ever had.

  Methods Of

  “Don’t. Move.” The whispered words sent a blaze of heat from the top of Paige’s head to the bottoms of her feet as soon as they left Felix’s lips.

  He had her bent over the family room sofa, her hands tightly gripping the leather as he held her hips still, his cock pulsing inside of her. Paige gritted her teeth when he pulled out and with torturously slow movement pushed back in so deep that she felt the air still in her lungs for a moment.

  He’d been tormenting her like this for an hour now. Every time she was on the edge of a cresting climax he’d pull back and make her wait just to build the heat all over again. When they were done, and she managed to be able to walk upright again, she would kill him for toying with her.

  “Felix…” she growled and he chuckled, the deep rumble of laughter vibrating through his chest as he pressed it to her back.

  “Yes, baby?”

  “If you don’t stop playing around, I’m gonna call Lena and find the best method of inhumane torture to end you.”

  “Aww baby, how am I playing around? By doing this?” Once again he pulled his cock out until nothing but the tip remained then shoved back in with so much force that Paige gasped.

  “Oh…God…”

  “Or by doing this?” He gave her two sharp thrusts that caused her back to arch as she got up on her tippy toes just to meet them. Paige almost sighed. Apparently, walking around in his t-shirt with no panties had been more than enough invitation for punishment—even though it had been the big bastard’s idea that she walk around like that in the first place.

  Her jaw clenched as she bit back a moan when one large rough palm covered one of her breasts and pinched a nipple, sending electricity zinging right to her clit.

  Felix groaned. “Oh sweetheart when I do this,” He pinched her other nipple and a sound close to a whimper left him, “Your pussy squeezes me so hard.”

  Paige’s breath caught when he did it again and she couldn’t take it anymore. She moved her hips backwards, pumping herself onto his length.

  Felix hissed and smacked her on the ass before stilling her jerky movements. “Unh-unh. What did I say?”

  Practically sobbing his name she tried to move again but he held her still. “Felix, please.”

  His palm came down on her ass again, causing fire to dance between her legs. “What. Did. I. Say?”

  She whimpered, her eyes slamming shut. “Not to move…you told me not to move…”

  “So why did you do it anyway?” He spread her legs a little further apart, palming both halves of her behind and thrusting deeper.

  “Ah…”

  “Why did you move when I told you not to Paige?” Felix questioned again, reaching down to rub her clit in slow circles. “Tell me and I might finally give you what you want.”

  “Because…because…” She couldn’t think when he played with her like that. They’d spent at least three days in bed after their first time and she still couldn’t get enough of his touch. Every brush of his fingertips across her skin ignited nothing but need. Every kiss made her feel like she was high on oblivion and every whispered word felt like a thousand little caresses. Felix had her wide open; figuratively and literally.

  “Because what batimentos cardíacos?”

  Oh God, why did he have to whisper that? He knew what it did every time he whispered that. Paige felt an orgasm cresting just from those words alone.

  “Because I need to come.”

  His laughter was low and teasing. “And what do you need in order for you to come?”

  She paused. He always did that, made her say specifically what she needed before he gave it to her.

  “Say it,” he purred and her pussy clenched.

  “I need you to fuck me…hard…now…please…” Paige panted, finally giving in.

  The last words hadn’t even left her mouth before he gripped her hips and straightened himself to pull out then slam back in. Every thrust of his hips sent her closer to coming. She pushed back as he pushed forward her breath coming out in shallow puffs every time he entered her. The growls he emitted turned her on just as much as his movements and when he pressed his chest to her back once again to whisper, “Come” she did, obediently shattering into a million tiny pieces.

  Felix intertwined his fingers with Paige’s, marveling at how small her hand was compared to his own. Every part of her fit him just as it was supposed to. Where he was hard, she was soft and curved. Where he was rough, her skin was butter soft. And where his skin was lightly tanned from his heritage and days spent working in the sun, hers was a beautifully deep candy caramel.

  He loved every part of this woman, even now when she was hogging all the Sweet Temptation cookies. He’d intertwined their fingers so he could hold her hand down over her head and use his free hand to tickle the backs of her knees, her secret spot.

  Paige giggled and tried to buck him off. “Stop, stop, stop!”

  “Are you gonna be nice and share?”

  She finished chewing what was in her mouth and shook her head, blowing a raspberry at him.

  His brows winged and he ran his fingertips under her knees again. When she snorted by accident, both of them stopped. Paige’s eyes widened as her cheeks turned bright red but Felix just busted out laughing and let her go.

  She kicked at him. “It’s not funny! Shut up!”

  For as long as he’d known her, Felix had never heard her snort and it had to be the most adorable thing he’d ever witnessed in his life. She went to climb out of the fort they’d built in the living room but he pulled her back into his lap, trying desperately to stop laughing at her. “Oh baby, I’m not laughing…at you…I swear…”

  Paige punched him in the shoulder and he started all over again.

  “Asshole.”

  He kissed her forehead and bit his lip to keep from grinning. “Stop pouting.”

  She didn’t.

  “Cada parte é fermoso para min, mesmo as máis embaraçosas.” Felix chuckled against her hair.

  Paige looked up at him with a tiny frown. “What does that mean?”

  He framed her face in his hands and kissed her softly on the lips. “Each part is beautiful to me, even the most embarrassing ones.”

  Her lips twitched. “Suck up.”

  Grinning wide, he nodded. “Yes, now share the cookies.”

  Nose scrunching, she shook her head. “Nope. Make me.”

 
His head cocked as he trailed his gaze from her face to the apex of her thighs. Paige shook her head again, backing up and almost taking out the pillow wall of their fort. “Unh-unh Felix. Not again.”

  He smirked. “Yes, again.”

  Then he was on her before she could take off.

  It was their last night. Over the past week and a half, Felix had shown her in at least a hundred different ways how much he loved her and every time she melted. When she’d suggested building a fort in the middle of the living room and watching Disney all day she thought he’d laugh at her but he didn’t. If anything, his eyes lit up like a little kid’s and he’d ran through the house collecting blankets and pillows to construct their mini castle.

  They’d also pigged out on snacks, had several snow ball fights and sock skated on the hardwood floors through the cabin. Every single minute of it had been amazing and every single time he’d made her smile or laugh, Paige felt herself falling deeper and deeper in love. She sighed as she traced Felix’s lips with a fingertip while he slept peacefully. He didn’t wake up, just gripped her around the waist and pulled her closer to his body before settling down again. He looked so content. Inside, she knew his ease was due to the past two weeks, so did she really want this to end? She loved him. Even if she’d never uttered the words out loud, she loved him. Every. Part. Of. Him. From his goofy sense of humor to the way he looked at her, the way he interacted with Abby and Liam, the way he loved Lena, the way he adored and respected his parents, his loyalty to Archer’s friendship and every other aspect of this man was pure.

  Was she willing to give all of that up out of the fear that she’d lose herself in her feelings?

  Too restless to sleep, Paige kissed his forehead and managed to slip out of his arms. She found a pair of jeans and a sweater to put on along with boots and her parka. Maybe a walk would clear her head.

  Paige made her way around the cabin and into the backyard, staring out at the mountain tops and frozen lake in the distance as her head started to process exactly how much had happened between her and Felix during their vacation.

  She almost felt like calling Lena and thanking her for being Satan incarnate because it had finally made her realize something. Out of all the years Felix had been chasing her, he’d never tried to control or change her. There were never any lies or manipulations used. He never held back on his feelings and even after ten years he’d remained celibate just to prove how much he wanted to be with her so exactly what was she running from?

  Paige slapped a hand against her forehead. “Stupid, you can be so damn stupid.”

  Felix had been the one to help her study for her exams when she went through veterinary school, always pushing her to do better right along with Lena. When she’d graduated he’d been the one screaming the loudest because her parents—who didn’t approve of her choice of a career goal, since her father hadn’t picked it—hadn’t been there and he’d seen how much it hurt her. The day she got her first job as a vet tech he’d brought her lunch from Grayson’s and made sure she was eating right. And when she’d started scouting locations for her own office, he’d helped until they found one.

  Felix had never tried to control her. All he’d ever done was support her and she’d spent so much time afraid that she’d lose herself that she was close to losing him. Even when she pushed him away he just got closer, never once giving up on her.

  “I can be such a dumbass sometimes, Jesus.” So lost in her thoughts she didn’t hear the footsteps behind her until they got closer.

  Paige spun around but one booted foot slipped and she lost her balance. She was going down before she knew it. She put her hands out, waiting for an impact that never came.

  That’s when she heard his chuckle, felt it rumble through his chest as his strong arms held her just a few seconds from breaking something important.

  “You can open your eyes, sweetheart. I got you.”

  She did, very slowly and felt herself being righted until her feet were firmly back on the ground.

  “What’re you doing out here? You almost ruined your pretty face.” One big hand came up to cup her cheek and wipe a snowflake away. That’s when an acute sense of déjà vu hit her hard in the gut.

  Grabbing that hand, she stared Felix straight in the eyes when she whispered, “I love you.”

  He blinked and blinked again. Then he shook his head. “I’m sorry. Could you repeat that? I think I zoned out for a second and heard the wrong thing.”

  She grabbed the front of his leather bomber and pulled him in close. “I. Love. You. And I know we had this stupid agreement and I’ve been really slow and running for no reason but I just realized exactly how much you mean to me and I don’t think I can give that up for—”

  Paige’s words were cut off when Felix leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, slipping his tongue inside and kissing her until she was breathless.

  He pulled back and stared down at her with so much love that any chance of drawing in a normal breath was out the window. Felix didn’t speak for a long time then he said, “When I woke up and you were gone I thought you’d ran.”

  She shook her head so hard that her hood came off. “No, I didn’t. I can’t. I’m tired of running. I kept believing that loving you would somehow change me and it has.” Running her thumb over his bottom lip, she smiled. “For the better. I can stop being scared that I’m going to wake up some day and think that I gave up everything I love just to satisfy you because I realize I’m so much stronger than that. I’m not my mother.”

  “And I’m not your father.”

  She cocked her head. “That was never my fear. I was scared that I would give up who I am because I thought that’s what you wanted, not necessarily because you remind me of him. I kept panicking because I’d feel so much love hit me just staring at you that it’d make my head spin for a minute and the intensity of that is what frightened me. When you love a person the way I love you it’s mind boggling because you realize you’d do almost anything just to get them to keep on loving you in return. I didn’t wanna repeat the cycle.”

  He pulled her closer and hugged her tight. “I love you without conditions, batimentos cardíacos.”

  She pulled back and looked up at him. “You never did tell me what that means.”

  Giving her a lopsided grin, he placed her hand over his heart and whispered, “Heartbeat. It means heartbeat.”

  The backs of her eyes burned and she had to blink a few times to stave off the tears that had gathered. Unable to say anything else, she just whispered back, “Marry me?”

  Sweet Seduction

  Three years later…

  “Felix, we’re supposed to be cutting the cake,” Paige panted against her husband’s chest as his strong hands ran down her sides to grip her ass and pull her tighter to him.

  “I have the sweet I want right here.” He sucked her earlobe between his lips and tugged, causing her thighs to clench.

  “Oh that’s just nasty. Respect the fresh pastries people!” A voice called from the kitchen doorway.

  Paige looked over Felix’s shoulder to see Lena making a beeline for the cake. She wasn’t surprised since her friend had an obsession with anything that came from Sweet Temptations. Lena had even managed to invite the owner Bianca Halima and her family along with Archer’s friend Victory Graham. Then there was Dexter Franklin who Archer also knew along with his wife and children.

  The amount of kids everyone had was damn hard to keep up with but somehow Paige had managed. She was keeping a particularly close eye on the one they called Bailey. There was something a little…off in the way that girl stared at everyone. Laughing, Paige managed to pry her husband’s hands off of her and got out of his grasp. “We were just about to cut it, honest.”

  Lena’s brows winged. “Lies.”

  Paige snorted as two more women came through the swinging doors. “The kids are getting mighty cranky, and I don’t know if anybody but me noticed, but that Liam’s a screamer,” Brianna Hal
ima—Bianca’s older sister announced.

  “I noticed it, being that I live with it every day.” Lena sighed.

  Brianna gave Lena a pat on the head along with a pitying look. “And we feel so sorry for you.”

  “Considering the fact that my children are in the process of plotting to take over the world, I have no sympathy for others,” Bianca stated.

  They all stopped talking long enough to stare over at Felix who happened to be the lone male in the room at the moment. Paige wanted to yell for him to run and never look back but she had a feeling they’d just chase him down and hog tie him like they’d apparently done Victory years ago. That story had been an…interesting one.

  “Uh…I’m just gonna see what Archer is up to on the grill.” Then he did run, leaving Paige with the crazy females who seemed nice enough when they weren’t slap fighting or insulting one another.

  “There’s something about the males in Damon and being able to wear a pair of Levi’s…” Bianca murmured, staring at Felix as he made his escape.

  Paige threw a dish cloth at her. “Eyes off my man’s bits or the cake won’t be all that’s cut.”

  She just shrugged. “I have people eyeing Evan’s bits on a regular. Why should you be exempt from mutual husband ogling?”

  Paige started to open her mouth but Lena beat her to it. “Because she knows what to do to turn your face orange for a month.”

  Two sets of eyes widened before Brianna went, “Can you please, please, please teach me how to do that?”

  “No!” Everybody shouted.

  Brianna pouted and kicked one booted foot against the floor. “I don’t ever get to do anything fun.”

  Felix watched Evan Halima storm across the backyard and snatch the cookie that his eleven year old daughter Bailey was about to hand to one of Roderick Hine’s sons and had to fight not to laugh. The boy looked terrified. That’s when he heard Bianca yell, “Evan Halima! You leave them alone right now!”
