“Had someone touch me in public”—her cheeks blushed bright red—“or really had sex with anyone I wasn’t dating.”
He leaned back, watching her closely. He’d placed the distance between them to teach her how this worked. He wouldn’t go further if she didn’t comply. “Well, this is my first time wanting to touch a woman on a boat dock.” He grinned at yet another blush of her cheeks. “Besides, I don’t believe I said I wanted to have sex with you. I said I wanted to touch you.”
She chuckled nervously. “Is there a difference?”
“Of course there is. If I were fucking you, you wouldn’t be able to talk.”
She squirmed, rubbing herself against his hardened length. A harsh zing whipped through him, flexing his muscles. He fisted his hands against the dock, doing everything in his power not to reach for her. “Do that again.”
Pressing her hands against his shoulders, she shifted her hips, and he groaned. No matter how much she melted under his touch, it seemed to have the same effect on him. Fuck, she was a little vixen of sexual heat. He wanted her writhing beneath him. “Again,” he growled.
She swirled her hips against him, igniting a groan from low in his chest. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and rocked harder against him.
Goddamn Aidan.
If not for his friend’s warning, he’d have Ella in his hotel room, driving deep inside her until they both roared out in climax. But Aidan was a good friend, and a Club Sin Master he respected. Aidan’s advice was to be taken seriously. Kyler wouldn’t go further until he knew this thing, whatever it was, could develop into something past tonight.
Test her.
He lifted an eyebrow. “I’m waiting for you to spread your legs, Ella.”
She watched him intently, then the worry faded from her features. Whatever she’d mentally worked out reflected on her firm expression, and she slowly spread her knees apart.
He sat up straighter, blocking the view from anyone behind him. “Ah, there you go.” He ran his hands over her soft thighs. “Isn’t that lovely.” Pushing her skirt higher onto her thighs, he relished the way her breathing quickened and tickled his face.
Sliding his touch to her inner thigh, he inched his way higher. When he brushed his thumb over her engorged clit over the top of her panties, her eyes fluttered closed. Oh, yeah, been a while since she’s been touched.
He swirled her bundles of nerves, and her head dropped forward on a soft moan. The sensual sound had his cock flexing. He rubbed the bud again, and she lifted her head and her gaze scored him. With every swirl over her clitoris, her eyes widened just a bit more.
She mesmerized him.
Never, in all the submissives he’d played, had any of them had such a sensitive clit. Or maybe she was just that aroused around him. Either way, it made Kyler keep working the bundle of nerves to fuel her pleasure.
Her breath started hitching and hard quakes shook her. He grunted against the surge of dominance overtaking him. She responded with perfection under his command—totally in tune with him. Shit, to his complete surprise, he realized she was going to break apart in his arms, right there on the boat dock.
And she did—just like that.
With a final push on her clit, she quivered and moaned. Wrapping her arms tight around his neck, she rubbed herself against his cock, and her groans through her climax brushed against his ear.
When her breathing returned to normal, he slid his thumb lower over her panties, finding them damp. His groin tightened as he wanted to slip his finger inside her and increase the moisture.
As she leaned away from him, he stared at her flushed face and lowered her skirt over her thighs. Locked in her gaze, his soul reached for her. If he knew anything, it was that he hadn’t had enough of this woman.
He might not know what she ate for breakfast or what type of sheets she had on her bed, but he wanted to. Because she responded to him like she’d been made for him, he wanted to know those things and more. A woman who reacted this forcefully to him needed to be played with. He’d not let someone this beautiful in her responses walk away from him.
Tonight, he’d get deep inside her.
Tomorrow, he’d take her on a date.
He gathered her in his arms, pushed off the dock, and rose. His cock begged for her slick heat, throbbing and aching. He placed her on her feet and took her hand. “Let’s get out of here.”
“Oh my God, my legs are jelly,” she said with a loud laugh, yanking against his hand. “Wait. Where are we going?”
He glanced over his shoulder and a slow burn crackled into him. “Being the groomsman came with the perk of getting a hot tub on the balcony in my suite. We’re going to grab a bottle of wine and then take advantage of Aidan’s generosity.”
“But I don’t have a bathing suit.”
The pretty look she gave him nearly had him sending her to her knees and not giving a shit who witnessed him taking her from behind. Her gaze focused entirely on him and sizzled, and he nearly choked on his groans. He’d thought she’d been stunning while aroused, but after climax her beauty was all-consuming.
Though her mouth might voice her hesitation, her body leaning into him said something else entirely. He closed the distance, pressing his hard cock against her stomach. “You just came in my arms, sweetheart.” Brushing his thumb over her pouty mouth, he arched an eyebrow. “The point is moot. Even if you did have a bathing suit, you wouldn’t be in it for long.”
Chapter Four
Ten minutes later, Ella entered the sleek modern suite that had cherrywood furniture decorating the small living room. Kyler’s suite was much nicer than her mediocre hotel room. Near the French doors leading out to the balcony was a king-size bed with a gorgeous white duvet and silver pillows, as well as a black folded blanket on the end of the bed.
Take the lavishness of the suite, matched with the man walking in front of her, and Ella decided she’d entered a fantasy—a dream that she never wanted to wake up from. She kicked off her heels at the door, and her sore feet thanked her. Beauty came with a price. Her feet usually paid most of it.
The breeze fluttered the long, black curtains as Kyler vanished through the door. She hurried after him to journey outside. Taking in her surroundings, she noted the same patio set furnished at the wedding were around the small garden. Lush greenery surrounded the hot tub, and the whole view looked picture perfect.
Time to start pinching myself.
Kyler turned to her with a grin, and all sorts of unfamiliar tingles sped through her. This man…that smile…damn…
He placed the bottle of wine and glasses on the table next to the hot tub, and a rush of nerves kept pace with the arousal. Could she do this? Strip off her clothes with a perfect stranger and go into the hot tub?
She never did anything like this. Passion had never been a huge part of her relationships in the past. When she neared the table, her steps faltered before she stopped dead. Kyler removed his bow tie, and his gaze never left hers, nor did his smile fade as he undressed, just that easily. As if he’d been naked with strangers many times.
Maybe he’s a nudist.
“Don’t be shy,” he said softly.
She held her breath when he dropped his pants and his boxer briefs. Jesus. H. Christ!
He stood in all his naked glory and asked with a low voice, “Do you like what you see?”
Blowing out the air stuck in her lungs, she scanned over his squared chest to his six—no, eight-pack—then her focus lowered to the sexy V at his waist. He had a tattoo of a black dragon on his forearm, and she stared at it, as it seemed familiar. But her attention quickly snapped to his erect cock.
She swallowed the added moisture in her mouth. His cock was thick and long, and impressive. Lifting her gaze to his eyes, she managed, “You look…good.”
“I will like what I see just as much. No need to worry.” He turned to the wineglasses, popped off the cork, and started filling the glasses.
Ella outright gawk
ed.
In pants, his ass looked good. Out of pants, her fingers twitched to feel his muscles flexing as he thrust into her. Thoughts raced through her, as did hesitations. How did he undress so easily, as if getting nude in front of others was an everyday occurrence? She openly gaped at his masculine beauty and jolted under the assault of the wicked images invading her mind.
She might be uneasy.
She also wanted him.
One night of fun—do this!
While she could allow her nervousness to overtake her, she refused to go there. She straightened her spine, reminding herself of the rule she’d set in place the night she’d left Savannah. She’d never have believed a radio show would alter her life in such a big way, but it had.
For six months, live your life like you’re going to die at the end of it. That had been the challenge. Such a funny thing to listen to, but the challenge had spoken to her and she had asked herself, How different would I live if I thought I had only six months left? That day, sitting in her car outside of work, it’d taken her only minutes to realize she’d live her life differently.
She craved boldness—to not think of what-ifs or what could be, and simply do everything she wished without regret. Maybe she had needed to hear the challenge to gain strength, or maybe it was all just crazy, but she’d mentally accepted the dare.
That very day she’d quit her job. That night she’d gone home—with a police escort—and packed all that was left of her belongings and headed for Vegas. If she had only six months to live, would she want to spend her days in the same city as Rory? No. If she had only those months left, would she do something so crazy as move to Sin City? Yes.
She smiled, thinking about how much the decision had changed her life. After she had moved into a total dive to get away from Rory, with only a small suitcase of her personal belongings, for six long months she’d been miserable. Now, four months later, she stood in Nevada with a drop-dead-gorgeous naked man.
Not just any man—a man made of every fantasy she could’ve dreamed up. If she had only two more months left to live, would she get into the hot tub and see where this naughty adventure would take her?
Damn right I would.
With the thought solidified in her mind, she gazed over the firm lines of Kyler’s masculine body. She wasn’t blind to the fact that everything he did seemed to be geared in a way that made her act first. As though he wouldn’t do more unless she outright showed she wanted it.
For whatever reason, he needed to see her strength. And his actions made her feel stronger—powerful, even. She’d made this choice to join him tonight, and she wanted this man for one night of sexy, delicious sex.
With shaky hands, she reached for the ribbon that held her dress to her neck and yanked it free, then stripped out of her lingerie. As the warm air brushed against her puckered nipples, Kyler turned to her, holding the two glasses of wine.
His gaze smoldered with a heat she wanted to lose herself in. He gave her a slow once-over and then his eyes met hers. While they were heated, he also seemed to have controlled the lust. He smiled gently and offered her the wineglass. “For you, my lady.”
After she accepted the glass, he headed toward the hot tub. Perhaps he attempted to make her feel like being naked was no big deal, so she was comfortable. His plan worked; his nonchalance settled the racing of her heart and eased the shaking of her hands, making her feel a lot less naked.
She took a big sip of her wine for bravery, reminding herself that if she did die in two months, this was surely a memory she’d be glad to take with her. Watching Kyler enter the hot tub, she climbed the wooden steps. He offered his hand, and she slid her fingers into his, loving the way his firm grip held hers.
Her foot dipped into the water and she moaned in happiness. By the time her entire body dropped into the water, her eyes fluttered closed. She forced them open as he tugged her closer, pulling her onto his lap.
God, she loved how he touched her—without hesitation—with passion. There was no restraint as he yanked her right on top of him, like she belonged there. That confidence spoke to her and heated her up far more than the water.
“Feels nice, hmm?” he murmured.
The jets pushed water against her body and her knees pressed against the bench he sat on. As his erection settled against the junction between her thighs, she didn’t know if he meant his body against hers, or the hot tub. It didn’t matter. Both felt incredible. “Feels amazing.”
His gaze fixed on her and he took a big gulp of his wine, finishing half the contents in one swallow. After he lowered the glass, he said, “You have unique eyes. At the wedding, they looked blue. Now they look green.”
His arm wrapped around her back, holding her in place, as she didn’t doubt the water would have her floating away. “They change color, depending on what I’m wearing. It’s weird, I know.”
Slowly, he shook his head. “Weird is not the word I’d use to describe them. Beautiful, yes.”
Her cheeks warmed, and he seemed to have noticed, if his grin had anything to say about it. She simply wasn’t used to compliments. And it was nice. He took another sip of his wine and then asked, “So, you’ve never had casual sex, have you?”
“No.”
“Interesting.” He arched a brow, cocking his head. “Tell me why you decided to come up here with me tonight?”
Taking a big sip of her wine, she cringed at the dry taste and then replied, “Isn’t it obvious?” You make me freaking hot!
He placed his near-empty wineglass on the wooden edge of the hot tub, then trailed both hands along her back and cupped her bottom. “Oh, I know you’re aching right here for me.” He shifted her hips, rubbing her sex against his hardened length. “That I don’t doubt.”
She gripped her wineglass in hopes it wouldn’t fall out of her hand. Again, that slow smile spread across his face, looking deadly and dangerous all the same. Then he added, “But I’d like to hear your reasoning behind it.”
As his hands squeezed her buttocks, she fought the desire to stop talking altogether and shift a little higher to force him inside. “Are you always this vocal about stuff?”
“Always,” he said with conviction.
He swirled her hips and her eyes fluttered closed as pleasure swept like molten lava in her veins. When he squeezed her bottom again, clearly waiting for her reply, she opened her eyes. “I want you.”
“The passion is intense, isn’t it?” he asked in a seductive, low voice.
“Yes,” she whispered.
“I feel it, too.” He held her stare, serious and stern. “I don’t want only tonight, Ella. Let’s get that out of the way, all right?”
God, get inside me. “You want to go on a date, then?”
She attempted to shift her hips again, and he chuckled softly. “Woman, you melt under my touch in a way I have never seen before. I want to play with you, and learn all the things that make you you as I do.”
Odd term. “Play with me?”
“Yes.” He pressed his face into her neck and inhaled deeply. “I want to play with this sexy body and watch it heat under my hands.” Shifting her hips against his cock, he groaned. “But since you’ve never done this before, I want you to know where we stand.” He gave a forceful lick up her neck and then looked to her. “I want more time with you.”
Ella watched him, and thought this conversation was peculiar, to say the least. Didn’t men just take what they want and be happy with that? To her, this seemed like a negotiation, as if he planned it all and needed everything to be clear. “Do you always plan sex out before you do it?”
One sleek eyebrow arched. “I need you to understand what I want.”
He was serious, that she firmly believed. But the annoying voice in her head stopped her. “I don’t want to date.”
He hesitated. “Coming out of a relationship, then?”
“A long relationship.” Don’t ask about it, please.
His eyes narrowed slightly. “I certa
inly don’t want only one night. I’d like to get to know you, if that’s all right with you. But we don’t have to do strings attached, so how about a friends-with-benefits arrangement? Would that suit you?”
“Only friends—no relationship—though?” she retorted.
He grinned. “Friends who hang out and also fuck, yes?”
Part of her knew this was a bad step. Even hanging out could lead to a relationship, and that was the last thing she wanted. Though all the same, she wanted Kyler, even found herself excited over the idea that he wanted to get to know her better…or play with her again. “Okay, I agree.”
“You agree with what?”
She quivered against the warm tone in his voice that seemed to pull at something deep inside her. “No strings attached, but you want to get to know me after tonight.”
He smiled, warmth filling his expression. “Ah, that I do.” He rose with her in his arms, as if her size-eight frame weighed nothing. With an oh-so-sexy smile on his face, he rested her bottom on the edge of the hot tub. “Put your hands beside you.” Her heart hammered as she pressed her hands against the warm edge, and he added, “Open your legs, nice and wide.”
Lord, he seemed so solid: a confident guy, and that was sexy. To her, it seemed like a reward when she did what he asked. When she didn’t respond or hesitated, he gave her hard looks and used a firm voice, but the moment she pleased him it all vanished.
Odd.
Regardless, she ached for his touch. Hesitation was the farthest thing from her mind as she widened her thighs. She’d already learned that that easygoing look from him, matched with his charming smile, meant pleasure.
This man could deliver.
The warm air caressed her hot sex when she spread wide. His eyes blazed with an intoxicating flare, setting her on fire, as he murmured, “Put your calves over my shoulders.” She slid her ankles over his damp skin and then ran her legs over his hard muscles until her knees rested against his shoulders. He growled low in his throat. “That’s it, sweetheart.”
If he said anything else, she didn’t hear it because his mouth was on her. It was magical. His tongue swept up her folds with light tickles and her head fell back with the racing of her heart.
