The room was large with a king sized bed on one side and a large flat screen television on the other. The wood was dark and the bed linens luxurious. She tugged the curtains aside and the lights of Las Vegas twinkled in the night sky.
"We have quite a view." Her voice managed to sound natural. Pretty much.
Tanner came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her middle, nuzzling her neck.
"I won't complain. I think the best view is right here in this room." He dropped a kiss on her shoulder and walked over to the hotel directory. "Are you hungry? We can go downstairs to one of the restaurants or order room service."
Trying to slow her racing heart, she shrugged as casually as she could manage. "I wouldn't mind getting something to eat and exploring the hotel. I seem to have gotten my second wind sometime around one in the morning."
It was three in the morning now and she should be exhausted, but the thought of slipping between the sheets with Tanner was keeping her wide awake.
"It might have been the multiple cups of coffee you drank on the way to the airport and during the flight." Tanner was smiling as he flipped open his suitcase. "Suits me to walk around. Like you, I should be tired but I find I'm not sleepy. Just let me change shirts and we can head out."
Nothing had prepared her for seeing Tanner's bare chest. She was a grown ass woman. A doctor, for heaven's sake. But her body went into overdrive as he stripped off his shirt revealing a muscular torso Michelangelo would have been proud to sculpt. Her gaze trailed down from his impressive pectorals taking in each individual ridge of his abdomen. Holy crap on a cracker.
By the time her gaze wandered back up to his face, his eyebrows had shot up but his expression was amused.
"Honey, if you don't stop looking at me like that we're not going to get out of this hotel room all weekend."
She lifted her chin, tired of denying what she truly felt. "Maybe I don't want to leave this room. Maybe I want to do something else."
He came close and his clean, male scent surrounded her. "Maybe right this moment isn't the time." His hands massaged her shoulders. "You're tense. And nervous. Honey, there's nothing to be worried about. I want you more than I want my next breath. If you want to make love, well then, we'll make love. But let's go relax. Have a bite to eat and just enjoy being with each other. This room–and that big bed–will be here in an hour or two."
She took a deep breath and felt the knot in her muscles loosen. "I don't have a ton of experience."
"Do you think I give a damn about that? It will be good because it's you and me. Trust me, Maddie."
His voice was like a silken caress, soft and soothing. She smiled for the first time in hours. "I do trust you, Tanner. For the first time in a long time, I trust someone."
"Then let's go have some fun. We need to loosen you up a little bit. This is Vegas, baby."
She giggled and let her hands slide around his lean middle. "Show me Vegas, cowboy."
He was right. The bed could wait. But she knew it wouldn't wait long. She was going to make love to Tanner. It was only a matter of time.
Tanner tugged on a fresh shirt and they were out the door. The hotel was breathtaking and after a quick meal in one of the restaurants they explored every inch of it. It was five in the morning by the time they returned to their room. There was nothing she enjoyed more than spending time with Tanner. She hoped he felt the same.
Suddenly shy, she grabbed her small suitcase. "I need a quick shower."
He nodded and switched on the television while she ducked into the bathroom, setting a new record for showering. She shaved her legs and armpits and brushed her teeth. She debated whether to leave her hair in a braid or let it loose, finally deciding that lying down on a braid would be uncomfortable. Wearing a short blue nightshirt with penguins on it, she padded into the main room. She didn't have any sexy nighties and of the things she slept in, the shirt was the newest and fit the best. At least she had a pair of her new panties on underneath.
"I, um, saved you some hot water if you wanted to shower."
Tanner was lying on the bed, leaning against the headboard with his jean clad legs crossed, his shirt unbuttoned, and his feet bare. He tossed the remote on the mattress and grinned.
"Damn, you look good." He hopped up from the bed and strode to where she was standing, burying his nose in her neck and making her heart gallop. "Smell good, too. Give me five minutes."
He darted into the bathroom and she took several deep breaths to calm down before slipping between the sheets. She leaned back against the headboard and started to give herself a pep talk.
She'd had sex before. It hadn't been anything to write home about, but she'd done it. She was stressing about a perfectly normal biological function. People all over the world were probably having sex at this very moment and they weren't having a cow. She was thirty damn years old and she wanted this. She wanted Tanner.
She simply didn't want to disappoint him.
"You're frowning." Tanner was standing at the end of the bed wearing nothing but a hotel towel wrapped around his waist, his dark hair wet. A few trickles of water were sliding down his shoulders and along his muscled arms. Suddenly she was finding it very hard to breathe, especially since her stomach was performing a Cirque de Soleil performance in her abdomen.
"Was I? I'm just tired, I guess."
His expression softened. "We've both been up twenty-four hours straight. What time are you supposed to meet Sherry to pick out dresses?"
"Noon for lunch, and then we shop afterward. I think she wanted all of us, including you guys, at lunch as well. What will you guys do while we shop?"
Tanner laughed. "Bachelor party? Seems like he needs a send-off into matrimony."
"Sherry will kill you. She thinks Dan's had plenty of years to be a bachelor. I can't say I disagree, honestly."
Tanner came and sat on the bed next to her. "By the time I was his age, I'd been married for almost twelve years with two kids. I'd seen combat. So you may be right. Maybe we'll take him to the blackjack tables."
Her fingers itched to feel his skin under her palms. She gave into temptation and leaned forward, letting her hands glide up his arms, over his biceps, and onto his solid shoulders. "She'd approve of that."
"Aw, honey." Tanner cupped her chin. "If you're tired, we can wait. We don't have to do this now."
One glance down at the towel told her a different story. An impressive tent dented the terry cloth material and her entire body started humming. He was as aroused as she was. She shook her head. "I'm not tired. I mean, I'm not too tired. Make love to me, Tanner. Please."
"Yes, ma'am." He pushed her back onto the bed, his hard body hovering above hers. "And just for the record, you never have to say please."
* * * *
Madison's body against his felt like heaven. Tanner's cock was painfully hard and he had to recite baseball stats in his head to cool down. He needed to take this slow and easy. She was obviously nervous and he couldn't say he was completely calm. He wanted this to be good for both of them. The relationship was amazing and the sex needed to match.
His tongue traced her full lower lip before he captured her mouth in a deep kiss. She tasted sweet and spicy, a flavor he could easily become addicted to. He explored the warm cavern of her mouth, never hurrying. Her hands were clutching his shoulders and he slid his palm under her nightshirt so he could trace the curves underneath.
Madison moaned in response and he broke the kiss reluctantly, wanting to feel skin on skin. "Let's get rid of this, honey. It's in the way."
His hands pushed up the hem and she obediently lifted her arms so he could pull it over her head, and toss it aside. She was wearing nothing but a lacy pair of pink panties and his cock jumped under the towel that was now twisted between them. He threw the towel across the room, heedless to where it landed. He couldn't tear his gaze away from the beautiful, womanly form before him.
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, you are gorgeous." His voice sounded
like gravel, his throat tight from the rush of emotion he felt being with Madison like this. It had never been this important, this right.
She blushed from the tips of her toes to the top of her head, every inch turning a rosy pink. He swept her into his arms for another kiss, enchanted by her sexy shyness. He almost jumped off the bed when her soft hand encircled his cock. He cursed as his balls pulled tight, and she snatched her hand back as if she'd been shocked.
Her eyes were wide and he placed her hand back on him. "I was just surprised, honey. I'm so excited I could blow like a teenage boy on his first date."
To his surprise, she smiled. "It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one."
"You are definitely not the only one. Damn, that feels good." Her soft hands were stroking him teasingly, and then she reached down and cupped his balls, wrenching a groan from his throat.
She slid off the bed and onto her knees on the floor. Her gaze locked on his cock. "You're beautiful." Her fingers traced a pulsing vein. "The skin feels soft and smooth but underneath is hard like steel."
He sucked in a breath. She was testing every bit of control he had. "I'm sure it's not the first you've seen." She was a doctor, after all.
"It's the first I've wanted to do this with." She dipped her head and swiped at his cock with her tongue. It was as if her saliva was electrified. He felt the vibration down his cock, through his balls, and straight to his spine. Reflexively, his fingers tangled in her silky long hair.
"Holy shit. Are you trying to kill me?"
She looked up at him and it might have been the same look Eve gave Adam in the Garden of Eden. Just like that, Madison had gone from a nervous, unsure woman to a seductress. She ran her tongue around the mushroom head of his cock and he hissed as heat swept through his body. She engulfed as much of his dick into her mouth as she could, her tongue teasing the sensitive underside. His fingers tightened on the back of her head.
Each stroke of her lips and tongue sent him closer to the edge and heaven. It was only with supreme will that he was able to pull slightly away. "Honey, you need to stop. I can't hold back anymore."
His words had the opposite effect. If anything, she sucked and licked harder and this time there was no stopping the tide. His balls pulled up close to his body and the pressure in his lower back was unbearable. He came hot and hard, his seed shooting out and into her waiting mouth. He watched in fascination as she swallowed every drop. When he was done, his body was wrung out, and he collapsed back on the bed.
Madison crawled up his body and snuggled with him while he caught his breath. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close, smelling the floral scent of her shampoo and skin.
"I should spank you for that, young lady."
He felt rather than heard her giggle and his heart did a flip in his chest. "I didn't know you were kinky, Sheriff. What else don't I know? Do you want to tie me up, too?"
He quickly rolled on top of her, trapping her underneath him. His hands held her wrists by her head. She was completely at his mercy and appeared to like it. Her eyes were glowing, her nipples were hard points digging into his chest, and her lips were parted in excitement.
"I might like doing that. I could take my time and make you come over and over." He nibbled on her collarbone. "I can see your father never disciplined you. You're out of control."
She laughed. "Maybe it's Vegas making me naughty."
"Nope." Tanner shook his head. "I think you're always like this, but you've managed to hide it well. I can see I've got my hands full with you. Literally."
She shook her head, her fiery hair like a halo around her face. "I'm not. I just decided to be brave. I wanted you to feel like I feel."
"I do." He kissed her then, not soft and slow like before. This kiss was deeper, hotter, and more carnal than the others. Her tongue tangled with his and it was a meeting of equals. She was his match and he was going to enjoy the continual battle for control. "You should have pulled off when I told you to though. Are you mad?”
Tanner had his share of sexual experience, and it told him women didn't like to swallow. She didn't seem upset or angry, but he didn't want her to think he was a thoughtless, selfish bastard.
Her wrists flexed under his hands. "No, why?"
It was his turn to blush. "I think you got more than you bargained for when you were on your knees."
She shrugged. "I'd never done that before so I was curious. It was fine, Tanner."
"Never done that before?" Her expression was perfectly serious. "For someone who's never done that, you did a damn fine job."
"I'm a doctor." Madison smiled. "I know where all the nerve endings and sensitive spots are. At least where they're supposed to be." She paused and licked her lips. "You tasted salty, and a little like coffee."
"You don't have to swallow, honey. Ever again, I promise."
"I'm not upset. I liked watching your face when you had an orgasm. The muscles on your neck and jaw tightened, and your eyes closed."
His beautiful, analytical Maddie. With any other woman in the world, the conversation would have been strange. With her it felt totally natural. It was time to get her mind off of his response and get back to hers. He leaned down and captured a nipple with his lips, drawing it up and worrying it with his teeth before soothing it with his tongue.
One look at Madison's face told the story. Her lids had drifted shut and she was no longer pushing against his hands, her body relaxed. She'd surrendered to his control and dominance.
"Time for you to come, Maddie. I want it all. Don't hold anything back."
* * * *
From the moment he'd been so affected by her touch, she'd felt empowered. It had only grown, even as she had fallen to her knees. She'd always viewed a woman servicing a man as something weak. Now she knew differently. She'd been on her knees but he'd been in her power. It was heady stuff and something she wanted to experience again and again.
At the moment she was his willing supplicant. His lips and tongue were doing naughty and delightful things to her nipples and she arched her back, wanting and needing more. Her entire body felt as if it was on fire, flames licking at her skin. She wanted to watch his expression as he explored her but her lids simply became too heavy to lift.
His lips kissed a wet trail down her abdomen and his tongue traced circles on her inner thigh. Her legs fell open of their own accord. He was in the driver's seat and she was happy to hand him the keys. She was hungry for the kind of ecstasy she’d heard and read about but had never experienced for herself. Tanner was a man who could deliver her into heaven with a simple touch or kiss. Making love with him was out of this world pleasurable.
His teeth caught the elastic waistband of her panties and he tugged them down her legs, one side then the other, until she felt them fall from her toes. She was exposed to his gaze and she forced her eyes to open. The irises of his eyes were dark and his expression hungry, almost feral. He pushed her thighs further apart, insinuating himself so her legs were thrown over his shoulders.
She knew what he was going to do. He was going to put his mouth on her cunt and she felt her honey gather in anticipation. Always before this had been embarrassing and unpleasant. This was how it was supposed to be. She was his tonight, and it was clear he planned to enjoy every inch of her.
He pressed a thick finger inside of her and she moaned as the walls of her vagina stretched. It had been so long since the last time she’d had sex, but she rested comfortably knowing she was designed to accommodate him.
"You're so tight and wet for me, Maddie. Do you want my cock in your pussy?"
She felt another wave of heat at his simple and direct question. "Yes. I do."
He pressed a second finger inside her and began to move them in and out, sending tingles to her toes. "Say what you want, honey. Tell me what you need."
"I need you, Tanner."
"Say it, honey. I ache to hear it. Do you want me to say it first? I can't wait to be balls deep in your
hot little cunt. It's going to feel better than anything ever has."
She'd never taken part in any sort of dirty talk but she didn't want him to think she wasn't aroused. "I want your cock inside of me. I need it."
Pressing a kiss on the sensitive skin where hip met thigh, he blew on her clit, her body tightening in response. Her clit was swollen and begging for his attention, and she slid her legs further apart to urge him on.
"Your pussy is so pink and ready for me, all shiny with your cream. I need a taste."
She screamed as his tongue lapped at her clit. Overwhelmed at the colliding sensations, her legs shook and her body trembled. His fingers were rubbing her G-spot and his mouth was torturing her slowly, shredding any semblance of control she'd imagined. The room spun and she grabbed onto the sheets, her fingers clawing for purchase when the first wave of her orgasm ripped through her.
"Tanner,” she whispered, her voice soft in the quiet room.
She could barely speak and then only his name. Her voice sounded as if she was someone else, someone who knew pleasure well. The fire inside her was out of control and she let it burn until it finally subsided, leaving her weak and wrung out.
His mouth was pressing kisses on her oversensitized flesh. It bordered on pleasure-pain but she didn't fight it, didn't protest. He'd brought her too far to turn back now.
"Easy, Maddie. I need a condom and then we're going for a ride."
He was gone for only a moment, and then was back ripping open the foil packet with his teeth before rolling it on. She held out her arms, eager for him to be inside of her. He came down and the solid weight of his body pressed her into the mattress. His cock nudged her slit and then pressed forward. Her tight muscles resisted at first, then loosened as he slid inside. By the time he was in to the hilt she was panting.
Wrapping her legs around his hips and her arms around his shoulders, he pulled out slowly. The ridges of his cock ran over her G-spot and she mewled with frustration until he thrust inside her again. His groin rubbed her already sensitive clit, sending frissons of pleasure to every part of her body and tightening the coil in her belly.
