Remembrance: A Contemporary Erotic Romance (Iris Series Book 4)

by Lynn, Rebecca

  He laid her down onto the bed, disengaged from her and got rid of the condom, then after turning on the side lamp on her nightstand, he crawled to rest between her legs. Finally he answered her question.

  “So, I left you a message earlier,” he began. Her hands were stroking his face, his were playing with her hair.

  “Yes,” she smiled.

  “I told you I was coming over.” He waited a beat and looked her in the eye.

  “Don’t even tell me you used that key,” she said, only half mad. She was just too happy with the turn of events to be mad.

  “I came over and banged on your door. I thought you were home but ignoring me, so I decided it would be best to surprise you, have it out with you if necessary.” He raised an eyebrow, challenging her to yell at him.

  “You decided it would be best to surprise me? Well, I wasn’t here.” She gave a wry smile. “I ran out of here as soon as I thought you might come over. So, what did you do when I didn’t answer the door?” she asked, already knowing his answer.

  He shrugged, his face only a little wary. “I let myself in, yelled thinking you were here, but you weren’t.”

  She pushed his shoulder. “I can’t believe you just let yourself into my loft, Luke,” she grumbled.

  His eyes pinned her to the bed. “I was going to wait for you, figuring you had to come home to get ready for your date,” he bit out.

  “I went shopping, then hung out at my mom’s. I didn’t want to bump into you. I was too pissed.”

  “That’s okay. It gave me plenty of time to take care of some things.”

  “Like?”

  “Like making sure I had condoms stashed in every section of the loft so that after your date, I could be ready for you no matter where we were.”

  She couldn’t believe this conversation and laughed in disbelief. “And how did you know I wouldn’t see them and just use them with my date?” she mused.

  “You weren’t allowed to have sex,” he pointed out.

  “My spoon drawer, Luke?”

  He smiled boyishly. “I was going to wait outside until you got home. Then Mike called for us to go out. I figured I’d hang with the guys for an hour, then come back.”

  She laughed softly. “Where else did you put them?”

  He smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”

  “That’s my Luke,” she stretched happily then leaned up to kiss him. “Always prepared.” She took a moment to look at him and her body flushed with desire.

  He wagged his eyes. “If you’ll recall, I was supposed to have plans with you tonight. There was no way I wasn’t going to have you, no matter what the obstacles. I made sure I had all necessary accoutrements in place,” he smiled lazily.

  A zing went through her. She licked at her lips and felt his erection. “I really hope you’re planning on letting me have a bite of this at some point tonight,” she said wiggling around his hard manliness. “Because I want it.” She met his eyes. “In my mouth.”

  His heavy lidded eyes stared into hers. “Oh, there’ll be plenty of time for that. And have I told you how much I love that mouth? Your feisty, dirty mouth?”

  Lust, contentment, complete peace. Love. The emotions bombarded her all at once as she lay with him on top of her. Her hand stroked his back, his hair. She nuzzled the side of his face which was buried in her neck. He began nibbling there, rubbing her hair under his hand.

  “I’d say we made some pretty sweet cookies together, Daniels.”

  He smiled against her skin. “Like I said,” he whispered in her ear before kissing it, “I’ve always loved your cookies. I just didn’t know how much until now.”

  A low chuckle formed in her chest. “And I’m partial to that long thick spoon that stirred the batter.”

  He lifted his head and smiled down at her. “That batter needs a little more stirring tonight, don’t you think?

  She’d just had sex with Luke and she was about to do it again. She didn’t even know if she could put the experience into words. He’d completely taken her, stripped her of all coherent thought, and she couldn’t wait for him to do it again.

  “What are you thinking?” he asked.

  “That I can’t even put into words what sex with you is like.” She touched his face and he sucked her thumb into his mouth.

  How was it possible for her to be aroused so quickly after coming only moments earlier? He did this to her.

  “We do make some pretty outstanding cookies together,” he murmured with humor, kissing all around her face.

  “You definitely do a better job of making these cookies than you do the other ones,” she teased.

  “I didn’t forget the eggs this time,” he chuckled while kissing her.

  “No, you most certainly did not.” She hesitated then said, “I know I don’t have as much experience as you,” she began, “but you can teach me what you like. How to be better –”

  He interrupted. “Stop.” He sighed and looked tenderly at her. “You might not be able to put it into words, but let me try.” He swallowed and made sure she was looking into his eyes before continuing. “What we just did was a perfect culmination of everything we’ve been thinking, feeling, wanting. It was more than our bodies coming together; it was our minds, our spirits. It was everything. It was every nerve ending screaming to be touched. It was our hearts calling out to each other. Our minds connecting. Our spirits becoming one.” He kissed her forehead, leaving his lips there. “You say you don’t have as much experience as me, but I promise you Janie. What we just did? I don’t have any experience with that at all. I just know,” he paused. “I want to experience that over and over with you. We’ll both learn together. Just me and you.”

  Tears were leaking out of her eyes. He looked down at her and smiled softly, wiping them with his thumbs. She was nodding in agreement but couldn’t stop from crying. His own eyes clouded with emotion as he kissed away the wetness from her cheeks.

  “You knew we would do this tonight? Is that why you sent Kenneth away when you dropped me off?” she sniffed.

  “Baby, there was no way in hell I wasn’t having you tonight. Seeing you with that asshole at the bar made me fucking crazy. I was going to have you tonight regardless. I was done with the waiting. If we had gone out as planned I still would’ve made my move.”

  She smiled and felt another chill of excitement pass through her.

  “Why’d you go out with him? I understand you were angry about Vanessa and there was a misunderstanding, but why him? He was such a prick.”

  “I know,” she sighed and waited a minute to form her thoughts before speaking. “I guess I just wanted some closure on the whole high school experience. He contacted me on Facebook and wanted to go out for drinks. He was always the good looking kid in school and the only time he ever talked to me was to make fun of me. When he sent me a message and was so persistent,” she shrugged. “I just wanted to show him what he’d never have.”

  “No, he won’t. Ever,” he said, kissing her, sweeping his tongue into her mouth. After a few moments he ended it with a bite to the corner of her lip. “What did he say to you tonight? That made you drop the wine on him?”

  She hesitated.

  He stopped his kisses and looked down at her. “Tell me what he said that got you so pissed.” He waited.

  She sighed and looked away. “He said something about my boobs.”

  “What did he say?”

  She paused, then, “He said he wanted to fuck my tits.” She said quietly, “He said he’s wanted to since high school. And that he wanted me to suck him off while he played with them.”

  Luke was so still, she wasn’t sure if he’d heard her. She finally looked over and his eyes were so furious, she actually got a little nervous.

  “It’s okay,” she said.

  “It’s okay? Okay, Janie? No, it is certainly not okay,” he fumed. “I swear, if I had known what he’d said to you, if any of us had known what he’d said to you, we would’ve fuck
ing wiped the floor with him!” he practically yelled. “It was bad enough when you implied he was going to have sex with you because of a bet. Fucking asshole.”

  She felt his body tense, his jaw was clenched looking like it had been cut from granite.

  “Shh.” She touched his face to calm and brought her lips to his. “Like I said before. I don’t let comments from assholes upset me anymore. The guy is a loser and I won’t waste another moment of my life thinking about him. Neither should you, especially not tonight. I want you all to myself tonight.” She stroked her cheek against his. “I don’t know how long you want this thing to last between us, and –”

  “Hold up.” He looked even more pissed. “Excuse me?”

  His look gave her such hope. She really wasn’t sure how long he’d want her. Did he really mean that she was the one? The one he would now want to come home to? Forever? His look told her what she’d wished and hoped for. She couldn’t help herself and smiled. Then she giggled and covered her mouth.

  He narrowed his eyes and pinned her body to the bed, lifting her hands above her head. “You don’t know how long this thing will last between us? Is that what you just said to me?” he asked incredulously. “Apparently you didn’t understand what I said before. What part of ‘your man wants to be revealed’ and ‘is my queen of hearts ready’ didn’t you understand? Did you not understand the words ‘I have you’? Or that I’m not sharing? That you’re not going out on any more dates, that no other man will touch you?” He frowned down at her as she continued to giggle uncontrollably. “Why the hell are you laughing?”

  “Because,” she laughed. “You’re so cute when you’re forceful, Luke,” she said wagging her eyebrows on the word ‘forceful’ enjoying the scene unfolding around her.

  “You think this is funny?”

  She nodded while another giggle escaped. She couldn’t help it. She was so happy in that moment and he was so adorably disgruntled.

  “You want to laugh, baby girl?” He raised an eyebrow over the mischievous twinkle in his eye.

  “Luke!” she squealed when he brought one hand down while securing her hands above her and started tickling her. She let out a yell and began laughing, the noise coming from deep in her gut. “Stop,” she screamed, cracking up. “Luke.”

  He laughed with her and began grinding into her while they grappled. Then he kissed her. And kissed her. And kissed her. And she was no longer laughing but moaning and trying to pull her wrists free from his grasp.

  “The other night,” he said while kissing her, “with the foot rub.”

  She kissed his chin, a little embarrassed. “Yeah?”

  “Madre de Dios, I was in such pain when I left,” he groaned out a laugh. “Especially when I found your little friend in the bathroom.” He wiggled his eyebrows. “We’ll have to break that out some time,” he said, referring to her vibrator. She blushed at the memory.

  He continued. “You were so hot that night. I can’t believe I didn’t fuck you to within an inch of your life. That just shows what a patient man I am because I was close to breaking. I went home and took the coldest shower of my life.”

  She felt giddy at his words, feeling his erection rubbing against her. As if reading her mind, his hand skimmed down the side of her body and ended at the juncture of her thighs. She opened her legs more to give him better access.

  He smiled.

  “I was so prepared to win. Then when you started the actual massaging,” she said, her eyes closing on the sensation of his hand between her legs. She lost focus and couldn’t finish her sentence. He began making slow lazy circles at her opening and using all his fingers to tease her, toy with her. Her wetness was everywhere and the tingles escalated quickly into a glorious burning sensation letting her know she would be reaching another explosive climax soon.

  “You were so good, baby,” he said against her mouth, praising her. “With how sensitive I know your feet are, I couldn’t believe you held out for so long. I wasn’t sure if you were going to trust me, but I was so happy when you did,” he said, taking sweet licks and nibbles of her lips. “Watching you fight it then giving in. That was the best gift you could’ve given me.”

  She melted as his hand continued and pressed a little more aggressively, his fingers now entering her and pumping.

  “I like feeling your wetness on my hand, ’cause I know I put it there,” he said arrogantly. “You’re smooth and creamy and warm. I can feel you swell when you get more excited,” he whispered. He pressed his wet slick hand into the nub at the top of her sex and created circles, rubbing in to it.

  She let out a sound and moved her hips up into his hand.

  “Does that feel good?” he whispered against her cheek.

  “Oh yeah,” she breathed.

  “Mmm. You like my hands on you? My tongue?” He moved his head and kissed her collarbone.

  “Yes,” she whispered out on a hiss when he hit her clit and applied more pressure.

  “Your breasts make my mouth water, do you know that?” he asked, just before plucking a nipple with his lips. Her hands continued to struggle against his grip. He chuckled with his mouth full of her. The vibrations caused her to moan deeply.

  “I’m so close, Luke,” she begged, squirming under him.

  “Good. I’m going to keep you there for a while. Let’s work on that patience we talked about.” He lessened the pressure of his hand on her clit, but continued sucking her nipple then kissing all around her breast.

  She made a sound of frustration and struggled some more. Her body was an absolute puddle of mush at the moment. She just wanted to come. She didn’t want to be patient.

  “It feels like you have some violence you’d like to unleash, Janie,” he purred. “You still want to take a bite out of me, mi dulzura?” He moved quickly off of her and got on his back, leaning on his elbows. “What do you want to do to me, Janie?” he taunted. “’Cause I sure as hell know what I want you to do to me. I’ve been thinking about it forever.” He lay there letting his eyes peruse her body seductively, not hiding his excitement.

  Her eyes glittered. She was going to make the man lose control even if it killed her. And it might, because all she wanted at the moment was to get her mouth on him and make him go crazy. If he was going to make her wait, then she was going to make him wait too, and she was going to enjoy teasing him in the process.

  She directed her sultry look toward him then climbed on top, straddling his shins. When she leaned her chest down, she let her breasts hang so her nipples scraped his legs. She let out an ‘mmm’ sound at the sensation, then looked up to watch him. His eyes kept going to her breasts. His long penis jutted up high and jumped.

  She bit her lip. “Two can play at this game, Mr. Daniels.”

  “Oh, I hope so,” he teased then got quiet and looked at her so intensely. “Cristo, you’re quite a sight, Janie Callahan,” he breathed, licking his lips.

  His words caressed her right between her legs as her hair fell in curls all around her, the tips of her breasts brushing his legs again. His breathing was becoming more labored, taking on a growling quality.

  She smiled and moved her hair to one side so she could hold it out of the way for what she had planned. He moved his hands down to her face, his stomach muscles bunched as he kept his head up off of the bed to watch her. Pushing his fingers into her hair, he held it back off her face, squeezing it in his fists.

  She kissed him lightly on the tip of his penis and watched it seek out her lips, like a homing pigeon seeking its nest. His hands gripped tighter and she smiled wickedly. She looked up at him and leaned down further to kiss the root of him, licking and sucking the side of his shaft so slowly, so tenderly, she heard him swear under his breath. His eyes were closed, but when they opened, they shone with lust and barely bridled control.

  She flattened her chest down onto his legs and put her arms up on either side of his body, like he’d done to her earlier in the evening. Then she began sucking and nibbling a
ll around his erection. His fingers in her hair flexed.

  “I want all of you in my mouth,” she murmured around him looking up into his eyes, still licking at the side of him.

  “Do it, Janie,” he whispered.

  She shook her head no and smiled. “Not yet.”

  His eyes played over her face while his hands gripped her hair harder. “You think you’re going to win this round?”

  “Yup. You’re going to let me,” she whispered seductively, letting her tongue stroke up the length of him where she sucked the underside just at the base of the head.

  He pushed toward her mouth and smiled. “Why’s that?”

  She nipped at him and his penis jumped toward her mouth, moving toward her wet warmth. “Because you taught me the more patient you are, the more pleasurable it will be after you’ve waited.”

  “Did I say that? I don’t remember saying that,” he groaned with a self-deprecating smile.

  “You did,” she teased with a sympathetic look, her lips continuing to move against him.

  “Just remember, mi dulzura, when you’re done,” he paused until she looked into his eyes, “it’ll be my turn.”

  She smiled with anticipation and continued teasing him, kissing all around him, sucking and taking light bites. When she saw a drop of his arousal on the tip, she couldn’t resist and put the head in her mouth, sucking it off.

  He apparently couldn’t resist either and pushed lightly into her mouth, holding her head still to take more of him. His breathing was becoming more and more erratic and he pushed into her mouth even more. She looked up at him under her lashes and hollowed her lips, sucking hard around him and swirling her tongue like he was a lollipop.

  He clenched his teeth and breathed through them, closing his eyes again.

  She’d only gone down a couple of times on the second man she’d been with in Paris, and it hadn’t nearly been this much fun. Watching Luke’s reaction only made her more aroused and when her nipples rubbed against the hair on his legs, she let out a blissful moan around him.

  That seemed to tip him over the edge of reason. He held her head and pumped more into her mouth, and she could tell he was trying not to choke her but couldn’t hold on much longer. So she took over and swallowed him to the back of her throat, letting her hands stroke the sides of his hips while moving her clit into his leg. Her breasts were bumping into his thighs and that friction was taking her to a beautiful place. She couldn’t help but groan around his penis.
