Tumult

by Lea Hart

Too many questions for the morning.

  Closing her eyes again, she thought about the little show he’d put on last night when he’d gotten undressed and then paraded his beautiful behind to the bathroom.

  Why would he do something like that if he was ambivalent about her fling idea?

  One minute he was flashing her a smile that said he was ready to eat her up and the next his face was scrunched up like he was thinking it was a bad idea. Seemed he was far too conflicted about what he wanted to do to be getting into bed naked as the day he was born.

  As far as she was concerned, she didn’t want anything to do with the seesaw of desire he was suffering from because the minute they were done tearing up the sheets, he would probably blame her for leading him into temptation. Which is why she needed to get away from his big beautiful body.

  Scooting toward the edge, she lifted his arm and was about to get out, when she felt him clamp down and pull her closer. “Carrick, I’m going to get up.”

  “Not yet, you haven’t seduced me yet.”

  “Wasn’t planning on it, so let go.”

  “No.” He moved his body closer and pushed his big erection into her behind. “I’ve been waiting since last night and I’m ready for you to have your way with me.”

  “You must still be dreaming because you’re making no sense.” When he moved his mouth along her neck and dropped a trail of kisses, she knew he wasn’t listening. “Carrick, one minute you want to kiss me and the next you’re fighting against the urge. I’m not interested in starting something with someone who is so confused.”

  He pushed himself against her more firmly and then slid his hand under her top and moved it slowly across her skin. “Carrick…”

  “I’m not confused, Audrey, and since you’re not ready to make a move on me, I guess it’s up to me. You offered me monkey sex yesterday and I plan on spending most of the day in this bed doing some seriously naughty shit with you.” He leaned up on his elbow and gave her a grin. “When I’m done with you, the neighbors are going to need a cigarette.”

  She narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips. “Why were you not that excited when I talked about it yesterday?”

  “I was processing what you said, and the last time I checked, public sex was still a serious no-no so there wasn’t much I could do about even if I wanted to while we were eating our lunch.”

  Taking advantage of the fact that he wasn’t holding onto her like an anaconda, she rolled over and faced him. His dark gaze was filled with desire and she knew there was no escaping what she’d set in motion.

  Her speech about a fling and hot sex had marked the beginning of play and the only thing she could do now was hope to survive. Running her hand through his thick sable-brown hair, she studied his features and decided once again that he was the most handsome and magnetic man she’d ever met. His full lips and sharp cheekbones married perfectly with a broad forehead that made him beautiful in a visceral way. “Are you going to regret this, Carrick?”

  “No, babe. I figured out last night that you were never a choice for me. As much as this goes against my professional ethics, I can’t find a way to stop myself from wanting you. I figure my concentration is going to improve a hundred percent after I know what you taste and feel like, so at this point, I’ve got no choice.”

  Before she could say more, he lowered his head and took her mouth in a searing kiss and told her with his actions that the time for talk was over. He swirled his tongue inside her mouth and she found herself surrounded by his scent as he moved closer.

  Nothing was going to be the same after this.

  Wrenching his mouth away from the sweetest kiss of his life, Carrick gave Audrey a grin and then rolled away. “Condoms.”

  He jumped out of the bed, dug through his bag, and pulled out a strip of four. “This will get us started.”

  “That will finish me,” she replied with a laugh.

  “You’ll be so sated by the time we get on the plane tonight that you’ll sleep all the way through to Munich.”

  “I usually take a sleeping pill, but…” She waved her hands over his body and grinned. “This seems like a much better option.”

  His heart beat hard inside his chest and he dropped the condoms next to the pillow. Enjoying the view of Audrey as she lay against the pillow with her hair fanned out, the heat in the room ratcheted up. He watched her nipples tighten and peak beneath the thin material of her top and decided he needed to get rid of it.

  “Nothing between us, Audrey.” Whipping the shirt over her head, she was finally revealed to him and he felt his mouth start to water. “Perfect,” he mumbled as he cupped her breasts, letting their weight settle in his hands, her nipples puckering and pressing into his palms. The feel wasn’t enough, though, so he turned his attention to those tight peaks, rolling and plucking her nipples between his thumb and forefinger, watching with satisfaction as she dropped her head back.

  Dipping his head, he sealed his lips over one breast, pulling the bud into his mouth. The other hand never left her other breast as he lavished them both with equal attention.

  Her breathing increased while his body tightened, and she let out a long-drawn-out moan of pleasure. “That’s it, babe, let me hear how I make you feel.”

  Moving down her body slowly, he kissed her stomach and then licked a trail to her belly button. “So fucking soft,” he murmured as he savored the taste of her skin, nuzzling her curves.

  Sliding her panties off, he inhaled her scent and felt like a shark who had just picked up the smell of blood. He pressed his mouth to her pussy and an immediate need pushed through every rational thought in his head as he covered her with his mouth. Feeling her wet pussy lips swell in his mouth as he sucked them had his control shredding. He licked her sweet juices as his name fell from her lips, urging him on. Her taste was heady and he felt drunk as he ground his cock into the mattress, trying to find some relief.

  He gripped her thighs and spread them further apart as his mouth went back to her sugary center. Sucking her clit, her body trembled, and her hands went to his head as her back arched off the bed. Growling against her, he dipped his tongue down into her tight channel and fucked her with his mouth, giving her as much as he could. He heard her words of need and knew she was close.

  Bringing his hand up to her clit, he circled it with his thumb and continued to lick her opening. She dripped with honey and he greedily ate it up as the steady stroke of his tongue pushed her over the edge. She exploded under him and he held tightly as she climaxed in his arms.

  Her orgasm was long and he felt like a fucking beast giving her that level of pleasure. Instead of letting her recover, he started all over again, needing more. “One more time, babe.”

  “Stop, Carrick, I’ll pass out.”

  Lifting his head, he gave her a grin. “I want you soft and ready when I slide deep inside you.” He felt the fat head of his cock throb with desire as the image of her pretty pussy wrapping around him had him leaking precum.

  “Come here,” she said lazily as her arms reached for him.

  He kissed his way up her belly and then to her breasts and, finally, leaning down, he kissed her lips, passing her sweetness between them. “You taste like the best candy I’ve ever had.”

  “You’re a king and I’ve never felt anything so amazing in my life.”

  “I’m just getting started,” he replied as the smell of her pussy and the taste of it on his tongue had him rubbing his aching cock against her. Leaning up, he looked down and saw the head of his cock drip come onto her pussy. “I like seeing that.”

  He took himself in hand and spread it around until she was coated in him. “Almost perfect.” He needed more, so he dipped the head down and gathered more of her honey on the tip and saw it glisten.

  “You ready to see how we fit?” Seeing her eyes heavy with passion, he grinned and grabbed a condom. He got himself suited up and then kissed her as he lined himself up. Thrusting his cock into her in a
long hard stroke, he groaned as her snug heat gripped him like a fist. “You’re so tight, babe.”

  “You’re too big, Carrick. Go slowly or you’ll break me in two.”

  He leaned down and laid his hand on her face. “I’d never hurt you, relax and let me in.” He slid slowly out and then in and waited for her to accept him. “Let me find your magic spot and fill you up, so all you can feel is me.”

  A small nod was her only response. Thrusting again, he was seated completely. “We fit, no doubt about it.” Sliding out slowly and then in, he gripped her hips and watched himself disappear into her tight channel. When he pulled out and saw her cream on him, he knew he was at the very edge of his peak.

  “Look at us, babe, and see what we are together.” He watched her eyes open and look down. “This is what a perfect fit looks like.” Taking her mouth, he thrust in and out, and they moved in unison. The rock of her hips met the thrust of his, and together they were bringing one another higher and higher. He was buried so deeply inside her that there was no separation as they ground together.

  Harder, faster, he sucked in a deep breath as he watched her eyes dilate. Her cheeks were flushed and he slipped his hand between them and touched her, sending her over the edge. He held himself inside her as he joined her, emptying himself.

  Wave after wave of pleasure rolled over his body as they moved slowly together, letting the last of their orgasms seep from their bodies.

  Rolling over, he took her with him and held tightly as she fell against him like a rag doll. Lifting his head, he kissed her cheek. “Audrey, that was fucking amazing and if you give me fifteen minutes, we can do it again.”

  When he didn’t hear a response, he figured she was saving her energy for round two.

  ***

  Audrey winced as she moved in her seat at the Blue Ribbon Federal Grill. They’d just ordered and were waiting for their drinks to be delivered. Uncrossing her legs, she moved gingerly as she stretched them out.

  “Everything okay, babe?”

  She moved Carrick’s hand off her leg and gave him a prudish look. “No, it’s not. I’m sore and get a twinge every time I move.”

  Leaning over, he put his mouth against her ear and whispered, “You want me to kiss it better?”

  “No, I do not because that’s what started this whole thing.”

  “And you loved every dirty, naughty moment of it. So, don’t try and change your tune now.”

  “How was I supposed to know this would be the result?”

  He smirked and then took her hand. “Any time your leg goes up around your ear and you tell me faster and more, you can pretty much guarantee you’re going to feel it afterward.”

  The waiter came up to the table and Audrey almost grabbed the glass of wine out of his hand. “Thank you,” she murmured before taking a healthy sip. “I don’t think your voice was loud enough and the people over there in the corner missed what you just said.”

  He looked over and shrugged. “I’ll make sure to fix that the next time I bring it up.” He kissed her head and lifted his beer. ‘We need to leave the city in two hours, so we’ll have plenty of time at the airport.”

  Lifting her hand, she checked her watch. “Why do we need four hours?”

  “I travel with firearms and going through the process of showing my paperwork and clearances takes time.”

  “I hadn’t even considered that, but it makes sense.” Lifting her glass again, she drank her wine as she looked around the room. “Can you believe the SDF and YPG took Raqqa today?”

  “I knew they were close, but to have it happen on the eve of our departure is crazy. It’s the second caliphate to fall for ISIS and hopefully, this marks the beginning of the end for the group.”

  “I have all the news sites bookmarked on my tablet, so once we’re settled at the airport, I’m going to start looking through them and catch up.”

  “Good idea, I’m hoping to hear back from my contact in the area before we take off. I checked my email before we left and no one had responded yet.”

  ‘Thank you, by the way.”

  “For what?”

  “For today and what you’re about to do on this trip.” Turning, she ran her hand over his face and then looked down. “You are the naughtiest, greediest, and most generous lover I’ve ever had, and it was incredible.”

  He lifted her chin and then grinned. “We’ve only gotten started, Audrey.”

  Feeling her face heat up, she slid her eyes to the side and saw the waiter approach. “Here comes our food.” Before he released his hold, he bent down and kissed her possessively.

  “Now, we can eat.” He turned toward the table and moved his drink. “I’m starving.”

  Her plate of fried chicken and mashed potatoes was set down in front of her and she decided thinking about Carrick and what they’d done for most of the day wasn’t going to do her any good, so she should focus on what they had in front of them. The situation in Syria had just changed and they had a lot to figure out before they drove across the border.

  Looking over, she saw Carrick’s New York steak and fries and wondered if she’d ordered the wrong thing because it looked delicious. Sighing, she turned back to her plate.

  “We can share, babe, don’t worry.”

  “Was I that obvious?”

  “Yes! The look you were giving my plate was the same one you gave me before you took me into that honey-trap of a mouth you’ve got and sucked me off. I know desire when I see it, and being the smart man that I am, I plan on making sure I give you what you need.”

  “Carrick Young, you be quiet and eat your meal.”

  “Oh, I almost forgot to tell you…”

  “What?”

  He leaned forward and looked into her eyes and said, “You are perfection and I’ve never wanted a woman more than I want you. What happened today blew my mind and rearranged my brain cells.”

  “Thank you, Carrick. That was very sweet.”

  “And, we’re going to join the mile-high club because, as far as I remember, Lufthansa has some nice big bathrooms.”

  Putting her hand over his mouth, she groaned. “You are never going to stop talking about it, are you?”

  He moved her hand away and shook his head. “Nope, not a chance.”

  Lifting a drumstick, she took a bite and decided to ignore him. Nothing good was going to come of paying attention, so she was going to enjoy her meal instead.

  Naughty man, he was going to be the death of her.

  CHAPTER THIRTEEN

  Tuesday, October 17th

  Carrick looked over at Audrey as she arranged her things and hoped no one was going to come and take the seat next to the window. They had fifteen minutes before they were due for takeoff and if they got the row to themselves, then he had a chance of talking her into fooling around.

  When she looked up and gave him a questioning glance, he wiped the dirty pictures from his mind and took her hand. “Comfortable?”

  “Yes…what were you just picturing?”

  “Nothing.”

  “Nothing means you were trying to figure out a way to fool around, but couldn’t.”

  “Not necessarily.” Tilting his seat back, he closed his eyes. “You wore me out today and I plan on catching up on my rest so when we land in Munich in eight hours, I’ll be able to satisfy you.” Hearing her laugh made him open his eyes. “It wasn’t that funny.”

  “Yes, it was because I’m the one who can barely walk.”

  He leaned over and pulled her close. “You loved every minute of it.” Seeing her expression soften and her pupils dilate gave him a satisfaction he wasn’t prepared for; it hit him in a soft place in his chest that, up to that moment, hadn’t existed.

  “I did, Carrick.” She laid her hand on his face and kissed him gently. “Maybe we’ll have a couple more chances before we part ways.”

  Before he could respond, the announcements started and she pulled away and sat back. Why did the words “part ways” make his
stomach clench? Didn’t make any sense, considering up until now he’d had no interest in a relationship. The fact that he got to spend some time with a smart, sexy woman and then walk away without any recriminations should be making his mood soar, and instead, it sent it to the crapper.

  Watching Audrey stretch out her long legs reminded him of how they felt when she wrapped them around his hips and begged him for more. They’d been perfectly matched in their enthusiasm and he knew from experience that wasn’t an easy thing to find.

  He had a raw appetite when it came to sex, and enjoyed a partner with whom he could share it. Audrey seemed to be that person, so perhaps that explained why the idea of them not having time to explore was making him upset.
