Stripped Bare

by Lacey Thorn

  “Why don’t you dump the purse out on the bed and really look through all her stuff while I fire up her computer?” Shep offered.

  Stace’s only reply was a sigh before she picked up her sister’s purse and dumped it out. Shep could see the anxiety in her eyes but there was no missing the confidence in the way she carried herself. She wouldn’t give up until she found her sister, one way or another.

  “This one hers?” he asked as he moved over to the desk against the back wall and the laptop that sat there.

  “Yes,” Stace replied glancing up as she worked her hands through the purse contents spreading them out all over the bed.

  Shep sat down and fired it up. The first thing he did was take a look at all the documents and files on her computer. Most had to do with school. He hit the button for her internet connection and hoped she was one of the people who saved her passwords to her computer. She had as it automatically logged right into her email and he could see tabs saved across the top that would lead him to other places she might have left information.

  He wasn’t sure when Stace left the room. He took the time required to go through every file on the computer and still came up empty-handed. There was nothing there to point them in a particular direction. He powered the computer down and stood. He stretched his back groaning as he looked at his watch and saw that he’d been at it for over an hour. He headed down the stairs and followed the laughter to the kitchen.

  Griff was here and Shep could smell the pizza. His stomach rumbled and he hoped Griff had brought enough. He stepped into the kitchen to see Griff putting paper plates out on the table. Stace was sitting on the counter with a beer in her hand sipping as she watched Griff. She’d ditched her socks and shoes at some point and he loved the way she swung her bare feet. They both glanced his way as he entered. He moved toward Stace.

  “Smells good,” he said. He was going to stop beside where Stace sat on the counter but when she spread her thighs he couldn’t resist the invitation and moved to stand right between them.

  “Beer?” she asked casually, as if they stood this way all the time.

  “Yeah,” he answered and she reached over and popped the top off one of the bottles sitting next to her before handing it to him.

  “Pizza and beer,” she murmured smiling. “Doesn’t get much better than this.”

  Ahhh, hell. She was perfect. Shep might just fall in love.

  “Woman after my own heart,” Griff said with a grin as he opened one of the pizza boxes and grabbed a couple of slices to put on a plate. “We’ve got everything, all meat, and one that has like twenty different kinds of cheese or something like that.”

  “What do you want?” Shep asked as he sat his beer by her thigh and moved toward the table grabbing a plate for each of them.

  “Give me one of each,” Stace said and Shep loaded two plates with one of each. He handed her a plate then moved back between her thighs, turning to face Griff while they ate.

  No one spoke for a bit as they were too busy eating. After they had each had another plateful they finally began to wind down. Shep loved the fact that Stace ate. She didn’t pick, didn’t eat one and set her plate aside. She was keeping up with him and Griff and that was a big turn-on. A woman who could eat like that would have the energy to play hard later and he knew just what they could play.

  “So did you find anything?” Shep asked Griff.

  “That Tark’s is indeed wall-to-wall people,” Griff said. “If they said that they remembered her but not who she was with or where, then chances are they aren’t lying. That place is crazy. I have no idea where all those people come from.”

  “Tark’s has always been the place to go,” Stace offered.

  “I spoke with several of the staff and they honestly either didn’t see Chloe or did but don’t recall anything other than they saw her there,” Griff said. “I believe them. After looking around tonight, the flow of people in and out is crazy. Hell I could remember faces that I saw tonight but not what they did while they were there. And this isn’t even a Friday.”

  “Did your sister go there often?” Shep asked.

  “I don’t think so,” Stace said. “She’d just turned twenty-one this year though. I’m sure Nicole would know more. I spoke with her earlier and she’s agreed to stop by tomorrow after her morning classes.”

  “Great,” Shep said. “It will help if we can find out if Chloe went there often or if this was an impromptu stop.”

  “I know she didn’t go there often but I don’t know if that Friday was a planned visit or not,” Stace said sipping her second beer.

  “We’ll see what we can find out from Nicole in the morning,” Shep said. “Did you find anything of importance in your sister’s purse?”

  “Nothing out of place,” Stace said. “Her wallet didn’t hold any secret numbers or notes or receipts. Compact and gloss in side pocket with a couple condoms. Some pens, peppermints and pack of gum.”

  “Condoms?” Griff asked. “Was your sister dating someone?”

  “Once again, not that I know of,” Stace replied holding her hand up before either guy could say anything. “But she’s heard enough from me to know to practice safe sex. Her body so she can’t depend on a guy to have protection.”

  “Smart woman,” Shep said.

  “The condoms came from a box I keep in the bathroom,” Stace said letting her gaze lock with Shep’s. “Only two missing are the ones in her purse.”

  So Stace had them covered when it came to protection. Good to know. Of course he had a box in his bag as well. So there was no limit to the amount of fun they could have.

  “So what time are Nicole’s classes over?” Griff asked. “It seems like everything at this point depends on what we can find out from her.”

  “Her class finishes at eleven forty-five,” Stace said. “So she said she would be here around one.”

  “All right,” Griff said. “Been a long day guys, so I’m hitting the hay.”

  “You remember the way to the bedroom?” Stace asked.

  “Down the hall last door on the left,” Griff said.

  “Bathroom is right across the hall,” Stace offered.

  “Shower sounds really good right now,” Griff said. “I’ll catch you both in the morning.”

  “Night,” Shep said.

  Griff slapped Shep on the shoulder as he passed and sent a wink toward Stace. “I’ve got my iPod with me so if you need me for some reason you’ll have to come get me. I won’t be able to hear a thing.”

  Shep grinned. Stace laughed. Griff just whistled and headed out the door and down the hall.

  Shep turned to face the counter and Stace inched forward until their hips met at just the right point. He rocked his hard cock against the denim covered vee of her thighs. She moaned and rotated her hips up and into him.

  “I’ve been working really hard today,” she vowed.

  “We both have,” Shep agreed.

  “I’d say that I worked hard enough,” she said wrapping her legs up around his waist and pressing hard into him. “Wouldn’t you?”

  “Hell, yes,” Shep said.

  “Why don’t we move upstairs?” she whispered into his ear and Shep scooped her up off the counter cradling her weight in his arms as he turned with her still wrapped around his waist and headed out the door and toward the stairs.

  “Your room or mine?” he asked.

  “King-size bed with connecting door to the bathroom and the box of condoms,” Stace murmured as she licked a path up his neck to his ear. “I’d say my room.”

  Shep just groaned as her teeth found his earlobe and began to nibble. He had no idea how they made it up the stairs and to her room without him losing control and taking her against a wall. But he was determined to not mess this up. He wanted more than one night with her and that made this first time all the more important.

  He stepped into her room and using one hand he eased the door shut behind them before leaning against it. Stace wiggled an
d he guided her as she slid her legs from around his waist and eased them down his legs to the floor. She leaned into him and with a moan moved her lips over his. He cupped the back of her head and plunged his tongue into her mouth rubbing and thrusting against hers in this delicious play of what they would enjoy with the rest of their bodies later.

  She stepped back from him and before he could say or do anything she had moved through a connecting door. He heard a cabinet open and close and she was back with the box of condoms. She placed them on the bedside table dumping a few out for easy reach before turning back to him.

  “You’re still going to have to work for it,” she grinned as she reached for the hem of her shirt. “I like a lot of foreplay,” she warned.

  “I think I can manage that,” Shep said watching as that shirt slipped higher revealing her taut abs and then her black, lace-encased breasts. Full, high and perfect. He couldn’t wait to get them in his hands, feel the tight buds of her nipples against his tongue.

  “But just so you don’t feel slighted,” she added as she dropped the shirt to the floor at her feet. “I like to give foreplay just as much as I like to get it.”

  His cock jerked behind his zipper at the thought of the wet heat of her mouth taking him in, sucking and licking him. Hell this verbal foreplay was better than any sex he’d had lately. “I like that quality in a woman,” Shep said watching as she moved her hand to the snap of her jeans and released it.

  She tugged the zipper down and did a little shimmy as her jeans fell to pool at her feet. Her panties matched the black lace of her bra and he swallowed hard.

  “My one great love,” Stace said running her hands over her breasts and then down over her belly to trace the top edge of her panties. “Sexy bra and panty sets.”

  “I like your priorities,” Shep agreed enjoying the show she was giving.

  “You seem to be a little overdressed, Shep,” Stace said and walked toward him.

  It took all he had to keep his hands steady at his side as she grabbed his shirt and lifted it. He held his arms up and helped her pull it over his head before tossing it to the floor to join hers. She leaned back and licked her lips as she ran her hands over his chest and shoulders, her fingers tracing the scars his body wore from the years of soldiering. She wasn’t awed by them, wasn’t repulsed by them, just accepted them as a part of him and moved on.

  Her fingers brushed over the bulge of his cock before releasing the snap and zipper on his jeans. He pushed them down taking his boxer briefs with them. He toed his shoes off and let everything fall in a pile to be stepped out of. She dropped to her knees before him and licked her lips again as his cock bobbed and waved in front of her. She surprised him by moving her hands down to his feet instead and he lifted them one at a time so she could pull his socks off.

  She sat back on her heels in front of him and let her gaze wander over him from head to toe before connecting with his eyes again. “I just have one question for you,” she said.

  “What’s that?” he asked.

  “How quick is your recovery time?” she asked with a wicked grin.

  “Fairly good,” he offered. “What do you have in mind?”

  “Right now I’m dying to taste you,” she said licking her lips again. “I want to suck that beautiful cock as deep as I can until you give me all you’ve got.”

  Shep groaned. “You’re killing me here, Stace,” he sighed.

  She laughed. “So I get first dibs and then you can return the favor,” she said.

  “Return it with interest,” he promised.

  “I was really hoping you’d say that,” she said and leaned into him again.

  Her mouth brushed a kiss over the head of his cock and he felt her tongue rub over the slit taking the drop of pre-cum that was there. He leaned his head back against the door letting his eyes slip closed for just a moment. He felt the cool grip of her hands as she wrapped one on his shaft and the other cradled his balls. Her mouth stayed right at the head kissing, licking and gently sucking at him. He wouldn’t last very long at all.

  “You taste so good,” she groaned and her mouth opened over him taking the entire head of his cock into her mouth and sucking on it.

  His eyes flew open and he looked down to see her like a goddess on her knees, his cock appearing like her favorite treat. Her hair spilled all around her and he ran his fingers through it tugging it back and holding it up off her face so that he could better enjoy the view. She started a rhythm using her hand to work his shaft while she sucked and licked the head.

  Heaven. Her mouth was what heaven must feel like. He wanted to just close his eyes and enjoy every sensation and yet he was loath to miss even one moment of the vision she made. Her cheeks were hollowing out as she worked him. She did some twist with her mouth that had his balls drawing up tighter and swelling with the coming explosion that he couldn’t hold back much longer.

  “I’m going to come,” he whispered.

  She just moaned and sucked harder at him working that wicked tongue in the notch just under his head that seemed to be connected with every pleasure nerve he had. He rocked his hips meeting her pace with his and fucking her mouth as she fucked him with it. His hands tightened in her hair as he just held on to her.

  His spine tingled, his buttocks tightened and a harsh groan spilled from his lips as she felt the first jet of seed hit her tongue. She didn’t balk. She swallowed and kept sucking and when he saw a bead of his cum slip from between her lips to hover and then drip down her chin he felt like a god among men. She drank from him accepting every drop he gave her.

  When he couldn’t take much more he used his grip in her hair to ease her away from him. She gave him one final lick as he slipped free of her now swollen lips. She glanced up at him and holding his gaze ran her tongue down to lick over the path of his spilled cum. Fuck. He was already growing hard again.

  “My turn,” he said and with a laugh she leapt up and jumped on the bed.

  She got up on her knees and reached behind her to release the catch of her bra and let it slide off to be tossed aside. Her hands cupped her breasts, her fingers pinching and tugging at her nipples as she watched him.

  “I’m all yours,” she promised.

  Chapter Four

  He moved from the wall and crossed to the bed, to her. Stace played with her breasts and nipples and let the pleasure wash over her. She wanted to feel Shep everywhere. His hands, his lips, his teeth and tongue, but most especially she wanted to feel that magnificent cock lodged deep in her wet cunt fucking her hard and fast.

  He stopped at the edge of the bed and leaned forward. She closed her eyes waiting to just feel where he would touch her. She felt his hands slide down her thighs to cup behind her knees and then with a hard tug she found herself flipped to her back. Her eyes popped open and she let out a laugh. He kept taking her by surprise. But laughter disappeared when he skimmed his hands up to the sides of her panties and tugged them down and off her legs.

  As he slid his hands back up the inside of her thighs he spread them wide and she felt the shift of the bed as he moved up on it with her. He helped her shift so that her head was on the pillow and then he settled between her thighs. His lips left a wet trail over her thighs, top, outside, inside, everywhere but where she craved them most. His hands stroked over her hips and up her sides to just brush the curves of her breasts before slipping back down. She was dripping, her cunt clenching desperately on air and he had yet to even touch her there.

  “Shep,” she groaned and his husky chuckle washed over her skin.

  His hands pushed her thighs just a bit wider and one hand traced the folds of her cunt. Her body tensed in anticipation of that first touch of his mouth to her pussy. She was desperate for it. He moved his mouth to the crease where thigh met hip and sucked at her flesh. Who knew such a touch could be so erotic? She arched up into him tilting her hips to push her pussy to him.

  Another husky chuckle followed by the reward she craved. His tongue lickin
g up the outside of her folds. His hands slipped up to brace her hips anchoring her to the bed while he just licked up and down her cunt. She moaned and clenched the comforter. She had never been with a man so talented with foreplay. She was hot and wild and ready to burst and still his tongue wasn’t inside her.

  One big hand moved back down to her pussy and he used his fingers to spread the folds. His thumb brushed over her clit and she felt that touch deep inside. He blew his hot breath across the bud and she felt it tighten further. His tongue jabbed at the bud flicking fast all around it. She could feel the flood of juices rushing into her pussy. She was so ready. He flattened his tongue over her clit and rubbed over it.

  He shifted again and his other hand moved down to her pussy. The other arm was braced over her stomach with his hand angled down to hold her pussy lips wide for him. A finger dipped into the opening of her cunt and his tongue went back to jabbing at her clit. He rimmed her cunt with his finger, not giving her more than the tip of his first knuckle as he continued to tease her.

  The finger disappeared and so did the tongue and she glanced down to see him watching her as he sucked his fingertip.

  “You taste so fucking sweet,” he murmured. “Your pussy is so hot and tight. I could spend hours right here.”

  He dipped his head back down and she cried out as he speared one finger deep into her cunt. His lips wrapped around her clit and he sucked at it, light pulls at first followed by quick, hard sucks. Her hands came back up to her nipples and she pulled and tugged at them as she rode the sensations closer and closer toward what was sure to be an earth-bending orgasm.

  He did something with his fingers, hooked them inside her and rubbed on her G-spot. She exploded with a yell that echoed in the room and she hoped briefly that Griff really was wearing his iPod buds and not hearing her. Then she ceased to care. Her body had tightened and tightened and tightened until she felt like a rubber band stretched taut. Then that wicked touch and she burst to liquid melting into the mattress beneath her as Shep moved his mouth down to her pussy.
