“Jana. Sweet God. Do you have any idea what you do to me?” Cursing beneath his breath, Nick fumbled with her coat while she struggled to get him out of his. Both garments fell to the floor, and he stripped her from her sweater and bra before molding her breasts between his palms, his thumb caressing one straining nipple while his eager mouth closed around the other. Luscious, sucking pulls of his lips, teeth and tongue alternated with the teasing scrape of his beard bristles as he brushed his jaw along her sensitive skin. Much as she loved his oral ravishment, she was desperate to get him naked. To feel that firm, muscular body skin to skin with hers.
She wiggled, breaking free of his hold just enough to work the buttons open on his tailored dress shirt. Mouth dry, she watched the slow reveal of his sleek, muscled chest and shoulders. Shoving the starched fabric of his shirt aside, she scored her nails along his ridged abdominals, watching them ripple as she followed the silky happy trail south. He kicked off his shoes and socks while she unbuckled his belt. Hooking her thumbs in the waistband of his trousers and briefs, she tugged both items down his legs and kneeled in front of him, her attention riveted on his cock. Its plump, rosy head was more than a scrumptious mouthful.
As if Nick had read her thoughts, his fist encircled his shaft.
She licked her lips. “Is that for me?”
“Every last inch, sweetness.”
She stared at the rigid central vein running along the underside, already anticipating its texture beneath her tongue. Salivating, she leaned forward and licked the drop of fluid weeping from the slit, spreading his precome around before taking him more fully. Her lips closed around the flanged crown, stretching to accommodate his girth. Bobbing her head, she took him deeper, relishing his groan when the taut, velvety gland bumped the grooved curvature along the roof of her mouth.
Gathering her hair in his hands, Nick slowly fucked her mouth, a moan drifting from him every time her tongue swept the underside of his cock head. “So good. Suck me just like that.”
She took him deep one last time, her throat muscles working him as she cupped his balls, rolling them lightly, before she slid her mouth free and ducked and swirled her tongue along his sac. Unable to resist, she squeezed his ass, making his tightened glute flex. Growling, he stooped and swept her into his arms. She expected him to carry her to the bed. Instead, he strode to the opposite side of the room and opened the drapes, revealing a floor-to-ceiling window. He set her on her feet, facing her to the glass.
Excitement ratcheting her pulse, she waited to see what he was going to do next. His beard rasped against her shoulder blade, followed by the wet glide of his tongue. With lazy dips and twirls, he snaked a path down her spine. Kissing the dimples near her tailbone, he massaged her buttocks, his big hands kneading and stroking. “You’ve got a beautiful ass.”
“I should probably hit the gym more than I do.”
“No, I like a woman with a little meat. Gives me something I can sink my teeth into.” He backed up his statement by biting her left butt cheek before coaxing her legs wider. A second later, his warm breath puffed over her slit. Holding the hood of her clit back with his thumb, he lapped at the small pearl, quickly whipping her arousal into a raging froth. Panting, she flattened her palms on the window. It was then that she noticed the office building across the way. One of the glass-fronted suites looked directly into Nick’s room. She could make out a bunch of men in business suits sitting around a long, rectangular table.
“N-Nick. Those men might end up seeing us.”
His tongue slicked softly over her clit. “Why do you think I opened the curtains?”
“You knew they were there?”
“I’d be a lousy excuse for an exhibitionist if I didn’t scout the best location for performance venues.”
“And here I thought I was twisted.” Her laugh morphed into a gasp when Nick leisurely worked his way up along her perineum and swirled his tongue over her asshole. She’d never experienced oral attention there, but it definitely felt nice. No, more like freakin’ amazing. “Nick. God.”
“Does it excite you, baby, the possibility those men could glance this way and see what a naughty girl you are letting me lick your sweet little ass?”
Excitement didn’t begin to describe what she was feeling. Her limbs shook and she couldn’t even get her brain to function enough to formulate a response. Fortunately Nick didn’t seem to require one, and instead he straightened and palmed her waist, his fingers a devilish graze along her hipbone. Nuzzling her neck, he slid an open-mouthed kiss across her flushed skin, his ragged breaths hinting that he was zip-lining the sexual high right along with her. “Stay here.”
Nothing would have budged her feet at that second.
The sound of a drawer opening preceded the recognizable rip of a condom wrapper. Her already soaked pussy flooded with more moisture. The carpet crunched beneath Nick’s feet, and the next instant his body heat blanketed her from behind.
His lips tracing the sensitive shell of her ear, he rubbed his latex-covered shaft along her slit. “Imagine if one of those men were Kev. Do you have any idea how fucking hot it’d get him, watching me take you against this window?” Nick’s cockhead nudged at her entrance before easing inside a fraction.
She shuddered, both at his leisurely penetration and wicked words. Across the way, the businessmen continued their meeting, oblivious of the show she and Nick provided. One of the suits even bore a resemblance to Kevin, making it that much easier for her to fall under the hypnotic spell of the fantasy Nick wove.
“Make it good for Kev, sweetness. Tease him out of his head with your luscious body. Get his cock hard and aching to blow, until he has no choice but to stroke it.”
A hedonistic rush sweeping her, she undulated on Nick’s cock, his thick girth stretching her in excruciatingly slow increments. He matched her tempo, pumping in a mind-blowing, slower than molasses glide—a rigid, delicious fullness plunging deep, nearly to her cervix. “Mmm. You’re like hot, wet silk, sweetness. Kev won’t be the only one struggling not to blow.”
She shivered, suddenly desperate to feel the pulse and heat of Nick coming inside her. Moaning, she tensed her inner muscles, earning a nip of his teeth in the crook of her neck. His palm spanned her waist, coasted downward to cup her mound. Two assertive brushstrokes of his thumb over her clit and her channel rippled and clenched.
“Feels fucking good, baby. Keep squeezing me tight.” Retreating, he realigned his thrusting point and hammered her G-spot. She gasped and pressed into the cold windowpane, its icy kiss contracting her nipples.
Nick’s mouth charted the slope of her neck, his hips rocking into hers, pinning her firmly to the glass. She was suspended on the peak, every cell in her body hurtling toward the dazzling orgasm hovering on the horizon.
“You know what Kev wants to see, baby. Give it to him. Come all over my cock. Now.”
Nick’s whispered command detonated the fuse on her climax. The riptide of pleasure thundered through her, springing a strangled cry from her mouth, and she bowed in Nick’s arms. Fierce spasms shaking her, she writhed against the window, desperately trying to suck in gulps of air. Nick pumped faster, deeper, stringing out the ceaseless quakes, before lodging to the hilt one last time and coming with his own racking shudder and groan.
For several moments all they could do was lean weakly on each other. Finally Nick wrapped his arms around her and slumped with her onto the carpet. Spooning her, he combed his fingers through her hair, the rapid thudding of his heart drumming against her shoulder. A warm, comforting afterglow cocooning her, she eyed the snowflakes beginning to pirouette outside in a glittery ballet. The businessmen lifted from their seats, their meeting apparently wrapped up. None of them glanced toward the window.
So much for their rapt audience. She smothered a chuckle.
Nick leaned up onto his elbow and kissed her cheek tenderly. “Do you wish it had been real?”
She didn’t need him to elaborate to know he referred
to the fantasy of Kevin watching them. There was no judgment in his voice, no jealousy that another man had shared the spotlight with him, even if only in her mind. That somehow made it easier for her to admit the truth. “Yes.”
“I want to make it real for you, Jana.”
Frowning, she wiggled onto her back and peered at him. “What do you mean?”
“You and Kev are meant to be together.”
Her heart cramped at the realization that Nick hadn’t included himself in the equation. Yeah, it’d probably been stupid on her part to think this had been anything more than sex to him.
Nick’s prior observation chose that moment to barge into her brain. The danger in threesomes is that emotions can get sticky. Especially when someone falls for the wrong person.
In her case, she’d fallen for Kevin and Nick. To the depths of her soul, she believed they were both right for her.
Which would only make it hurt all the more if she couldn’t have either of them.
Chapter Ten
“Oh, I really like this one. What do you think, honey?”
Jana paused on her way to the DVD section of Wicked Delights and glanced in the direction of the young couple browsing through the racks of lingerie. Changing course, she plunked down the box of DVDs and joined the customers, offering a smile. “Anything I can help you two with?”
The pretty brunette absently fondled the sheer white silk bridal set hanging in front of her. “I’m trying to pick out some things for our honeymoon, but…” Shooting an uncertain look toward her handsome ginger-haired companion, she sighed. “Taylor, you don’t seem very into this.”
Taylor tore his gaze from the strappy, leopard-print number on the opposite rack, his face going nearly as red as his hair. Jana hid a grin. Oh, he’s definitely into it.
“Meg, I’m happy with whatever you decide on.” The adoring expression Taylor wore as he stroked Meg’s shoulder sent a deep pang of wistfulness shooting through Jana. Plenty of couples came into the store on a regular basis, but it was always the ones with dewy love in their eyes that never failed to fill her with both happiness and envy.
She eyed the young Meg, who was now beaming at her man. “Are you guys just married, or soon-to-be?”
“The big day is on New Year’s.” Laughing, Meg squeezed Taylor’s arm. “That way he has no excuse to forget our anniversary.”
“Congratulations.” Jana surveyed the feminine bridal set. “May I make a suggestion?”
“Oh, please do.” Meg followed up her agreement with an effusive nod.
“Every woman deserves to feel special and beautiful on her wedding night, and the peignoir will look great on you. Additionally…” Jana grabbed the leopard-print ensemble Taylor had been drooling over. “This one, because every man deserves some sexy eye candy on his honeymoon.”
Meg’s eyes nearly bugged from their sockets. “Really? I—I’m not sure I can pull of something so…so…”
Jana leaned close to the girl’s ear. “Trust me, you can. And he’s going to freakin’ love it.”
They both glanced toward the silent Taylor and discovered him ogling the outrageous getup with lusty appreciation. Meg giggled. “Okay, I’ll take both.”
Less than five minutes later Jana escorted the couple to the front entrance and waved them off with best wishes for a happy marriage and lots of happy, kinky sex. Chuckling, she let the door close behind her. “Ten to one they bust out the catwoman getup before the honeymoon.”
Remembering her side-railed task from earlier, she returned to the box of DVDs and strode toward the aisle where the selection of flicks were stocked. While she shelved the new shipment that’d come in, she passed the time coming up with her own infinitely better version of X-rated movie titles. Her favorites so far were Riding Miss Daisy and Sisterhood of the Traveling Strap-on. She eyed the final video in her hand, scanning the blurb description and the trio of pictures with strategically placed smiley faces hiding the explicit parts. “Hmm, I’m dubbing you Snow White and the Seven Horny Cock Dwarves. Yeah, has a nice ring to it. Although, I doubt they’ll have that ride at the Magic Kingdom any time soon.”
She took a closer inspection of the orgy scene in the center frame of the box. The actress looked like she was having a helluva good time. In Jana’s case, she’d have a hard job of it figuring out what to do with that many dicks. More than five seemed like overkill. Hell, she felt greedy for lusting after two.
Her thoughts veered to yesterday, and the spectacular orgasms Nick had given her. What would it be like being on the receiving end of that much pleasure with him and Kevin? Thrilling as the fantasy of Kevin watching her and Nick making love was, she longed most of all to be with them both. Not just physically, but in a real relationship. What Lacey had with Bram and Ry—it was exactly what Jana dreamed of having with Kevin and Nick. So much so, the wanting of it ached in her soul.
Settling the DVD in place, she stooped and grabbed the empty UPS box. Woody’s laugh rang out again, announcing the arrival of more customers. Damn, the store was really hopping today. “Apparently ’tis the season to be kinky.”
Wedging the cardboard container under her arm, she strolled around the corner of the aisle and spotted Nick. In addition to the hot, sexy flush that tore through her, an inner giggle attacked her as the connection with his name and the holiday season registered. She’d never be able to look at him again without picturing a Santa hat and a sack of presents slung over his broad shoulder. She surveyed the crisp white shirt beneath his jacket before following the lines of his impeccably tailored charcoal dress slacks. Her attention hovered on the nicely sized bulge behind his fly. Saint Nick had a very impressive package, for damn sure. She knew that firsthand.
Nick’s face lit up the moment he glanced in her direction. “Hey, beautiful.”
Grinning like a dope, she crossed the room and offered him a hug. His strong arms around her felt wonderful, and the spicy masculine scent wafting from him made her long to rip his clothes off and lick every yummy inch of him. She snuggled closer. “Here to take me to lunch again, followed by a show?”
The subtropic flare of heat in his eyes made her clit tingle in anticipation—until he shook his head. “Sorry, I can’t. I have a meeting in an hour on the other side of town. Place called Victoria’s Sexy Secrets.” He waggled his brows. “God, I love my job.”
She snorted. “I bet. And Victoria’s Sexy Secrets? That’s both cheesy and a blatant rip-off.” She gave a mock pout. “Why the hell didn’t I think of it first?”
He massaged her nape lightly. “But then you wouldn’t be Wicked Jana, and I happen to prefer her so much more.”
She wrinkled her nose. “Is that what you call me behind my back?”
“You called me the Sex Chef.”
“Which I still think has huge marketing potential.” She poked him in the chest to emphasize her point. “But back to Victoria and her sexy secrets. You do realize this means you’re stiffing me for the competition.”
“You know you’re the only one who gets me stiff.”
“And you call me the naughty one. Which makes me wonder how in the world you ever passed for a saint.” She caught his arched eyebrow and shrugged. “You know…St. Nick?”
“Ah, baby. If there’s one thing I’m not, it’s a saint.” The sinful glint in his dark irises backed up his statement. But it wasn’t until he coaxed her chin up with his finger and slid his mouth over hers that the full impact of his boast came into play. Her lips parted on a weak moan. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nick deepened the kiss, the exploring glide of his tongue along hers making her shiver. Her nipples tightened into hard, aching points. She began to slide her arms around Nick’s shoulders, but he stepped back, his breath ragged and his eyes blazing. “Desperately as I want to bend you over the counter and bury myself inside you, I don’t think Victoria will appreciate me being late to our appointment.”
“I’m really not liking Victoria right now.”
He bent and
kissed her scrunched forehead. “I’m going to make this up to you. I promise.”
The intense smokiness in his gaze stirred hot shivers through her. Without uttering another word, he pivoted and strode toward the exit. She stared dumbly at his retreating form, her knees refusing to lose their wobble as he jumped into his car and rode off. She pressed her fingers to her lips, the residual fire of their kiss still potent there. It was a fierce burden on her sanity to court this crazy three-sided love affair of hers. God knows, her heart was already tangled into a mass of conflicting knots.
Giving her bottom lip one last brush of her fingertip, she turned and walked toward the register. Her feet rooted in place when she spied the beautifully wrapped box resting on the counter. Frowning, she stepped forward and freed the card tucked beneath the red metallic bow. She used her nail to slice through the gold seal and flipped the envelope open. She recognized the card as one of the ones Nick purchased in the artisan gallery yesterday. Well, that explained who the present was from. Looks like St. Nick did visit her this year.
“If it’s a lump of coal, I’m going to be so disappointed.” Snickering, she opened the card and eyed Nick’s bold, masculine handwriting.
Wear this and meet me tonight at ten thirty. I’ll have your real Christmas present waiting and ready. Beneath that cryptic note, he’d scrawled an address, presumably where they were to meet.
“Okay, St. Nick. You definitely win the award for being most mysterious.” Intrigued, she set the card to the side and picked up the book-sized rectangular package. Holding it to her ear, she shook it lightly. No sound. Whatever it was, it’d been sealed up like Fort Knox. Thank God she could open it now. No way would she have been able to resist temptation.
Trying her best to be methodical and savor the anticipation, she worked her way through the tape. For cripes’ sake, did he use an entire dispenser? Probably so, knowing his sheer evilness. Giving up the pretense of patience, she ripped the remaining foil paper free, revealing a black velvet box. She popped the lid open and removed the endless layers of cotton padding. Snuggled at the base of the box was a multilayered chain and what looked suspiciously like nipple rings.
