Salvation

by Ahren Sanders

  “So beautiful.” He gently caresses my cheek as he pulls away. “Tonight is proof I can’t keep my hands and eyes off of you.”

  “Then don’t.”

  His face fills with intensity when I scoot out from under him and stand, reaching to unzip my dress.

  “Don’t move.” He jolts up, turning my back to his. “I’m going to unclothe every inch of you and enjoy the fuck out of it.”

  Goose bumps spread over my skin, which he notices.

  “You nervous, Ember? I hope so, because I’m going to show you what it’s like to be loved by a real man. Every step you take tomorrow will remind you of me.”

  A tremor runs down my spine as he unzips the dress and kisses his way down. When he hits the small of my back, he licks against my skin and runs his hands up to my shoulders, forcing the dress to fall. The material pools at my feet, leaving me in nothing but a strapless bra, lace panties, and strappy heels.

  He picks me up as if I weigh nothing and lays me across the bed. Something in me snaps, and I move quickly, clawing at his clothes to get him naked. He helps me get his shirt off and kicks off his own socks and shoes. When I reach for his belt, his large hand covers mine and tightens.

  “This is my turn, babe.” Without another word, he holds my hips in place as he kisses his way down my body, whispering sweet words. The heat of his breath against my flesh almost causes my undoing. I want this man more than I’ve wanted anything in my life.

  When his mouth hits my belly button, his hands inch my panties slowly down my legs. The wait is agonizing until he sucks lightly at the sensitive skin on both my upper thighs. As soon as his tongue sweeps along my slick center, I whimper. My hands glide through his silky hair, pulling him closer. He pinches my ass, thrusting his tongue as deep as possible.

  My hips tilt and legs fall open, giving him complete access.

  “Look at me, Ember. Watch as I suck your sweet pussy.” His voice is rough and demanding.

  When our eyes lock, I stop breathing. His stare is deep. The normal bright, beautiful blue is dark and intense. He makes a point to lick, unhurriedly, watching my reaction. His tongue circles my lips, teasing me. Then he kisses the same path until I start to tremble.

  As hard as I try, I can’t stop my eyes from closing. He feasts on me as I squirm and pant, trying to hold back. His teeth lightly nip my clit, forcing feelings of to ecstasy flow. As soon as his finger slips in, I scream his name, coming apart against his lips. Waves of extreme pleasure take over, setting my nerve endings on fire.

  He doesn’t ease up, sucking me in further. My vision goes spotty, and I grip his sheets tightly, trying to come down from my high. His hands roam up my torso and slip around to undo my bra before he throws it to the ground.

  His moist lips kiss a path along my collarbone, stopping at the column of my throat.

  “Fucking unbelievable,” he murmurs against my skin. “Your body is made for me.”

  I try to talk, but it comes out more as a mumble. He pulls back with hunger in his eyes, hesitating, waiting for my approval.

  I nod and cup his cheeks, communicating without words, and bring his mouth to mine. My hands slide down his sides and move around to his belt, undoing it slowly. Our eyes stay locked in an endless gaze as my fingers finally get his zipper and buttons unfastened. He lifts his hips to help me push the material down until he can kick them off.

  When he lies back on top of me, I finally find my voice. “No more holding back, Robbie. I want this.”

  He rests his forehead against mine and exhales loudly. “Thank God.”

  It surprises me when he lifts up and leans back on his calves. In this position, I get a perfect view of his body and the hard erection against his stomach. His hands snake down my leg and pull my foot up to rest on his thigh. Gently, he undoes the straps on my shoe before placing it on the floor. He kisses down my leg and then repeats the process with the other shoe.

  “I’ve had a hard-on all day, wanting to fuck you in these shoes, but it’ll have to be another time.” He runs one finger along my core, and slips it inside, causing me to moan.

  His hand reaches up, grabs the condom, and slides it on, his eyes never breaking contact with mine. When he brings his body back down, he aligns us perfectly. I can feel the tip of his cock slipping through my wetness.

  “Babe, relax. Don’t take your eyes off mine.”

  I nod and wrap my legs around his waist as he glides into me slowly. He stretches me with every inch, and my breathing increases as my heart starts racing.

  “Do you trust me?”

  “With my life,” I confess truthfully.

  His pupils grow wide as he moves slowly in and out of me. Then, in one long thrust, he’s all the way in, and I cry out at the intrusion. My body squeezes, clutching him. His hips are flush against mine, his breathing picking up.

  “Fucking so tight. Babe, don’t move. Get used to me.”

  Involuntarily, my muscles squeeze again.

  “You have to stop or I’m going to fucking explode. I’ve waited too long for this to blow the minute I sink into you.”

  My fingertips rub lightly on the back of his neck, watching his expression change. Slowly, he starts to move. My body automatically adjusts, and I push into him, feeling my hardened nipples crush into his hot chest. Our hips find a rhythm, and he drops his head to my neck, biting gently.

  Without warning, he rolls us over, staying connected. I suck in a deep breath at the new position. I can literally feel him everywhere. My body hums in pleasure, another release turning in my stomach. My head rolls back and my hips swivel.

  I’m able to shift once more before Robbie lifts up, one arm holding my back, the other guiding a nipple to his mouth. I groan loudly, pushing down on him. The simple movement causes both of us to hiss as he hits a magical spot inside me. He must feel it because he drives into me from below while I clutch onto his shoulders. With each movement, I get closer and closer to exploding.

  His skin turns slick with sweat under my fingers. Our eyes meet, and the desire and hunger in his glare is my undoing. I scream his name and squeeze as hard as I can, praying he’s ready. He doesn’t stop moving, turning my one orgasm into two, relentlessly pumping in and out.

  He grabs my neck and slams his mouth to mine, groaning as he kisses me deeply. I feel him twitch as he moans loudly. This sets off another round of tingling, and though I’m not sure if he can feel it, my heart threatens to beat out of my chest.

  Neither of us moves for several minutes, we just hold on to each other, trying to regain our breath.

  “You’re incredible.” He kisses me lightly.

  “I think it may be the other way around. I never knew sex could be like that.”

  He moves back, his eyes piercing into mine.

  I give him a lazy smile and feel his dick jerk, still inside me. “Oh my God, are you ready to go again?”

  “I’ll let you rest. At least for a few minutes.” He grips my hips and slides out, moving me to my side. “Be right back.” He pecks my cheek and rolls off the bed, heading toward the bathroom.

  I watch his naked form walk away from me, and shudder when he turns back and winks. Every muscle of his defined body is rigid, making my mouth water. My tongue licks my suddenly dry lips, and his expression grows dark.

  “Ember, you can’t look at me like that.”

  “Why not?” I say coyly.

  He shakes his head and gives me a sexy grin, then disappears into the bathroom. Suddenly, I don’t want to rest. I want him inside me again. After a few minutes, I drift off to sleep, still feeling every inch of him.

  My eyes flutter as soft fingertips drag across my lower back. The faint sound of thumping pounds against my ear as I open my eyes, feeling disoriented. The first thing I see are the hard lines of Robbie’s stomach as his chest rises and falls.

  My face buries into the warmth of his embrace and he starts chuckling.

  “Is it possible to wake you?” he rumbles.

&nb
sp; “Guess so, but I was having the most wonderful dreams.”

  “So was I, but mine weren’t while sleeping. Mine are right here in the flesh, laid out on top of me.

  When I lift my head to his, my heart melts. The look of devotion on his face is so strong it threatens to crush me.

  “How long have I been asleep?”

  “About an hour. When I came out of the bathroom, you were passed out.”

  “Why aren’t you asleep?”

  “Because I have an incredibly sexy, naked woman lying in my arms. It would be a shame to miss this.”

  “I’ve slept with you naked before.” Blush creeps up my cheeks.

  “Think we both know this is different.”

  Emotions bubble inside of me, and I curl into him.

  “You mean something special to me, Ember. More than special. I want you to know that.”

  A burning desire to show him how I feel takes over. I slip my hand down, stroking his already hard cock. “I feel the same way.”

  Listening to his breath increase as I caress him turns me on, so I roll on top, taking him by surprise. He starts to speak, but I place my hand to his mouth.

  “This is my turn, babe,” I repeat his words from earlier and he huffs.

  My mouth starts at his earlobe, and I kiss my way to his chin, only brushing my lips across his lightly. As I make my way down his body, I take the time to truly enjoy the masterpiece. His hands massage my hips eagerly. Every inch of his exposed flesh has been touched by me when I finally reach my destination.

  The tip of him is glistening, and desire pools in my stomach with the excitement of the first taste of him. My tongue circles his head, and I suck his crown into my mouth, trying to go deep.

  I screech when I’m suddenly lifted from my armpits and thrown to the other side of the bed, Robbie pouncing on top of me. He ravages my mouth, taking my breath away and only giving me the oxygen from him. He moves quickly, and the instant his fingers slink into me, I buck into his hand.

  “Sexy as it is, you sucking my dick, making me crazy with fucking want, I have to be inside you again.”

  “Yes,” I croak and barely register the sound of his ripping a condom before he thrusts into me.

  Unlike before, I don’t take as long to adjust. My body welcomes him completely. His movements are fast and furious until our eyes meet and he slows down, leaning in to kiss me.

  “I’m going to make love to you all night, Ember.”

  We move together as one, soaking in the closeness of each other. His movements bring me to the brink of ultimate pleasure when I finally cry out his name over and over. He groans along with me, releasing at the same time.

  Our bodies are covered in sweat, clinging to each other as we recover. His kiss is tender when he pulls back and goes to the bathroom. I don’t dare shut my eyes this time, for fear of falling asleep without him.

  When he comes back, he situates me across his body and pulls me protectively so I wrap around him. My eyes close as his breathing becomes shallow and I’m sure he’s fallen asleep.

  “I love you, Robbie.” I say softly, knowing he can’t hear me. My heart bursts with complete adoration of this man.

  Chapter 20

  410 and 626

  Robbie

  My jaw clenches tightly as heads turn toward Ember walking through the airport. It’s not only her; the entire group of women is getting attention, but it’s only her I care about. My hand grips hers tightly, and it takes every ounce of resistance not to haul her into my arms and carry her to our gate. The only thing stopping me is her excitement as she talks to the girls. Raven, Declan, my parents, Finn’s parents, and the band flew into Florida this morning on an earlier flight. The rest of us chose the afternoon plane, and that means I have to share Ember with the Collins sisters and Raven’s girlfriends. Abbi has pretty much dominated the conversation, asking about formalwear for her and Jimi’s wedding later in the year.

  Jimi rolls his eyes several times but never says anything to interrupt. Finn walks along with us, quieter than usual. I want to pull him aside to talk, but there are too many nosy ears around. When we get to the gate, Ember smiles widely, giving me a mischievous look.

  “Last chance to let me pay for my ticket.”

  I tug her to me and refrain from kissing her senseless, but put my mouth to her ear. “Don’t mention it again. It’s done.”

  “Hmmm, I’ll get you back. “

  Her eyes gleam as she steps away and sits in between Charlie and Ella, watching me closely. They don’t notice the exchange, but her look makes me hard in an instant.

  There has been a shift in the depth of our relationship in the last three weeks. I can’t get enough of her; thankfully, she feels the same way. We’ve only been apart a few nights, and I hated every one of them. The only reason I allowed it was because my dad requested me specifically to work a few security jobs. Those nights, I never slept well, reaching for her warm, naked body several times. When I felt the cold empty bed, I’d toss and turn until dawn.

  Since the first time our bodies connected, I was a goner. Nothing in my life ever felt so right. She is the most sensual woman I’ve ever been with. Her sexuality knows no bounds, and I want to claim her in every way. She still gets shy around others, but when we’re alone, there’s no holding back.

  Every time we’ve been together, I’ve worshiped her with everything I have. She does the same. Our sex life is explosive. I consider myself a pretty controlled person, but when we’re alone, the only thing I want to do is be inside her. Memories of last night replay in my mind.

  The moment she walked through my door, I pounced.

  Before we even said a word, I had her in my arms up against my front door. Her arms and legs wrapped around me, and she pressed her body into mine. One arm held her steady while my other hand slipped under her dress and directly into her wet heat. Her pussy gripped my finger like a vice, and when I slid another in, she moaned in satisfaction.

  “Why aren’t you wearing panties?” I grumbled against her lips.

  “I took them off in the car.”

  My dick was so hard, begging to replace my finger. I’ve never been so happy to be wearing athletic pants in my life when she pushed down the elastic waistband, freeing me. I flicked her clit once with my thumb and moved my hand, lining up to slide into her. As I slammed into her with one quick thrust, she gripped my scalp and cried out my name. She was breathless, eyes wild with need, as I pumped in and out. Never in my life had I chased release so fast.

  I sped up my movements, causing her to break our eye contact and throw her head back, yelling. The new angle pushed me over the edge, thrusting into her harder that ever before, fucking her so she’d feel me all night. She moaned and squirmed, giving me access to different angles. Sweat dripped down my face as I claimed her in a primal way.

  “That feels so good.”

  The familiar feeling started to erupt; I couldn’t hold out much longer. “Come, baby. Don’t hold back.”

  In less than two seconds, she screamed so loud I knew my neighbors could hear. It set me off, and I came harder than I ever had in my life. She was still clutching at me roughly, so I moved my thumb back to her clit and rubbed lightly, causing her to shatter around me again.

  Almost immediately, I tensed. No wonder it was the best fucking orgasm of my life. I wasn’t wearing a condom. “Shit!”

  Her head flew up with terror in her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

  “Babe, I didn’t wear a condom.”

  I waited for panic to set in, but she surprised me by laughing, the vibration running through both our bodies. “I’m covered and clean. It’s okay.”

  Her words bounced around my head, and I pulled her to me, kissing her wildly. “I’m clean, too.”

  “I know.” The look of love in her eyes was a blow to my heart. I grew hard inside her again.

  Kicking off my pants, I carried her back to my room and made love to her gently, claiming her in a much different way.


  “You need to stop, man. She’s a private girl.” Finn stands in front of me, blocking my view of her, breaking my thoughts.

  “What are you talking about?”

  “You’re fucking her with your eyes. Steam is practically coming from your body. If you want her to be comfortable, you need to chill.”

  Her eyes meet mine, and heat creeps up her chest, my favorite splotches forming. Her head shakes slightly.

  “Fuck! What’s wrong with me?” I turn away.

  “Think it’s a disease… a disease everyone has caught lately.”

  His face is priceless and I laugh at him. He smiles in return, both of us chuckling. “Man, you okay with this weekend?”

  “Yeah. I’m fine. Happy for RJ.”

  “Do you still love her?”

  “Like a friend, yes, like a sister, yes… but nothing like I thought. I wanted to protect her, shield her, love her. It hurt like a son of a bitch when she left me in Paris. We never had a chance, and in a way, I’m thankful of that. Not sure how to explain it, but I’ll know when I find it.”

  “Yeah, you will. And I hope to fuck you don’t make the mistake I did.”

  “So what’s the deal with you now?”

  “I’m going to meet her dad when we get back from Florida. She hasn’t seen him in a few months.”

  “Meeting the dad… wish I could be there.”

  “Me too, brother… Pretty sure coming face to face with the man that loves that woman as much as me will put even my nerves on edge.”

  His face lights up as he grips my shoulder. “I knew it. Don’t fuck up, Robbie. I really like her.”

  I don’t get a chance to answer before Tripp, Gabe, and Jimi join us and start discussing the weekend. When they finally announce our boarding, I reach for Ember’s hand and whisper in her ear. “I can’t wait to get you in a bikini this weekend. Even more so to get you out of it.”

  She turns to me and looks around, making sure no one is close. “I can’t! You left bite marks on several areas of my body, including my boobs and upper thighs! There’s no way I’m in a swimsuit.”
