Seductive Knight

by Tierney O'Malley

  Alex tried to turn around, but he tightened his hold on her.

  “You’re beautiful,” he whispered.

  “Keep saying that and I’ll believe you.”

  “Princess, are you going to swim, or stay here and wait for your prince?”

  “I should wait. It’s only right.”

  “If you say so.” Gawain rubbed Kirsten’s earlobe, making her squeal.

  “Stop doing that. You’re giving me goose bumps.”

  To Alex, Gawain explained. “Kirsten hated it when someone touched her earlobe.”

  “Why?” Alex asked, laughing.

  “Because Gawain’s pet rat decided to nibble on my ear.” Kirsten rubbed her arm briskly as if trying to get rid of something.

  “When I was sixteen, a cockroach tried to get in my ear. Good thing it was too big,” Alex said.

  “Oh, my freaking God! Please tell me you’re kidding, Alex. Cockroach! What did you do?”

  “I screamed and passed out. When I woke up, I had a leaf soaked in vinegar pressed against my ear. The cockroach bit me.”

  “Ewwww!” Kirsten started hopping and rubbing her neck.

  “What’s wrong, sweetheart?” Edmund asked.

  Gawain turned to look at Edmund. He was shirtless and wearing a dark blue bathing suit that hung on his narrow hips. He couldn’t help but admire the man’s physique. Damn, he was ripped. So fucking ripped he wanted to cover Alex’s eyes.

  “A cockroach bit Alex,” Kirsten explained in tiny voice.

  “When?” Edmund frowned at Alex.

  “When I was sixteen.”

  “Sweetheart.” Edmund placed a hand on the small of Kirsten’s back. “I think we don’t have to worry about it now.”

  Gawain scowled. He’d never heard the man call his sister anything but Kirsten. Sweetheart?

  “Yeah, it happened a long time ago, Kirsten. My brother killed it with a slipper.”

  “I hate cockroaches with passion.” Kirsten visibly shivered.

  “Me, too. But I hate spiders even more. Nanni said whenever I see a spider I would freeze as if I’m seeing a ghost. And then I’d start sweating profusely, not talking. Just staring.”

  “Maybe something happened when you were young that had to do with spiders,” Edmund said.

  “I think so, too. Spiders would poke at my memories, but for some reason I could not remember why. Kirsten, you know, cockroaches are super icky especially when you smack it with a slipper. It had black and white guts.”

  “Oh, my God. I think I’m going to throw up.”

  Gawain chuckled. “Love, better stop talking about it or princess will rub her skin raw.”

  “Yeah. The cockroach can’t hurt anyone anymore.” Edmund rubbed the back of Kirsten’s neck.

  “But imagine a cockroach touching your skin.” Kirsten practically whimpered. “God, I feel like something’s crawling on me.”

  “Nothing is crawling on you. Swim and you’ll feel better.”

  “Bro, Kirsten hated insects and bugs as much as she hates nuts.”

  “Damn, don’t I know that.”

  “How?”

  “Zoo.”

  “Ain’t she weird?”

  “Hey, stop talking as if I’m not here.”

  “Sorry.” Edmund leaned to kiss Kirsten on the temple.

  Gawain didn’t know how to act. He’d never seen Kirsten and Edmund show affection in front of them. Ever. He looked at his brothers swimming with their wives. Judging by how deep Bors’s scowl was, how wide Percival’s eyes were, and big Tristan’s smirk was, he bet they, too, saw the swift kiss.

  “Hey, Alex. Good to see you again.”

  “Good to see you too, Edmund.”

  “Should we go in?”

  Gawain stood beside Alex. “Don’t know, man. I think Bors is thinking about drowning you.”

  “Well, let’s find out then,” Kirsten said, then pushed Edmund real hard.

  Alex caught on. She tried to push Gawain over, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her off the dock with him. They landed in the water with a loud splash.

  Laughing, Alex swam away.

  “You little minx.” Gawain followed after her. He’d give it to her. She could swim real fast. As soon as he caught her though, he wrapped his arms around her waist. He fell backwards on purpose, like a beaching whale, taking Alex with him. Under water, he gave her a kiss. When they both came up, Alex’s cheeks were as pink as her top. He had just wrapped his arms around her waist when the splashing game began. Bors quickly became their victim.

  “Damn you all,” Bors snarled.

  As soon as he shook off water from his hair, they all splashed him at the same time. He dove under water.

  “Fuck!” Tristan turned around, then swam away, his butt showing. “Watch out, guys. He’s pulling down trunks,” he yelled.

  Bors targeted Percival next. Gawain decided to swim away, pulling Alex with him to the shallow part of the water. Once they were away and hidden on the other side of the tree trunk that leaned across the water, he stood on the flat rocks.

  “We can hide here.” He grinned at Alex.

  “Did you see Tristan’s bottom?”

  “Yeah. Stand over here. The water is not too deep.”

  Alex stood in front of him while holding her hands. “This is an awesome place. You swim here a lot?”

  “Only during summertime. This place is frozen in wintertime.”

  “I love the cold water and the hot sun.”

  Gawain watched Alex lift her face toward the sky, her eyes closed. She was so beautiful. When Alex opened her eyes and looked at him, he knew his life would never be the same again. This woman whom he’d shared his body with, had taken his heart in return. With this new realization, he closed their distance. He ran his hands up her shoulders and neck before cupping her face. “I love looking at you. Have I told you you’re a beautiful woman?”

  “Today. Three times.”

  “Just three times?”

  “Gawain…”

  “You know, when I look at the stars at night, it feels like I am looking at it the first time. There is always something there that captivates me, takes my breath away, draws me in, touching my soul and heart. That’s how I see you, love.” Running his thumb back and forth on Alex’s cheeks, he gazed at her. Gawain bent down to capture her mouth.

  She tasted of licorice. Despite being in the water, Gawain’s cock hardened. He lifted Alex. Her legs wrapped around his hips. With their position, he could feel her heat. Hands on her ass, he ground his hips while his tongue played inside her mouth.

  Alex sucked him greedily. Her moans were hotter than the sun beating down on his shoulders, making his balls heavier and tighter. The length of his cock pressed against her warm pussy. Damn, he wanted to be inside her.

  “Baby, you feel so good. I could stay here forever.”

  “I like that.”

  “You do?” he breathed in her mouth.

  “Yes.”

  He was about to sneak his fingers inside her strap when Percival’s laughter penetrated his pleasure-induced brain.

  “Hey, the water is boiling! Take it easy, snot.”

  “Percival, stop bothering them,” Addie chastised. “I’m rooting for you, Alex!” she yelled. “Make him go down on his knees! That’s where the Knights belong.”

  “I’ll do my best, Addie,” Alex yelled back.

  Alex tried to move, but Gawain kept her imprisoned. “On my knees?”

  “Uh-huh.”

  “Let me tell you a secret, my beautiful love. I like being down on my knees.”

  “Then it’s perfect. I love it when you’re—”

  Tristan made a howling sound while the others laughed.

  “Get a room, you two. Neighbors share this lake with us.” Bors picked up a floating stick and threw it at Gawain and Alex. The stick landed close to Gawain’s back.

  Gawain smiled but ignored his brother. “I kind of like the idea of getting a room,” he whispered. />
  “You’re so bad. This is embarrassing.”

  “Nah.”

  “Hey, back at the house in an hour. Tristan is barbecuing ribs and Julie’s favorite, huge Kosher hotdogs.”

  “Bors, I’m not the only one who loves Tristan’s hotdog.”

  “But you’re the only one who can eat mine with so much passion and love,” Tristan declared.

  Everyone laughed.

  Gawain shook his head at his family. “Leave us alone. Why don’t you go bother princess and the turd. Where are they?”

  His brothers looked around. Just like that, they started swimming away—most likely to find Kirsten and Edmund.

  “You’re all overprotective of Kirsten.”

  “I’m sure Ema treats you the same.”

  “That’s true.”

  “You know, I haven’t heard you speak with an accent in days.”

  “Because since I arrived here, you’ve been driving my fears away. You seduced me with your smiles, touch, love and affection. For the first time in so many years, I could sleep peacefully without worrying that I would not be able to give my mother the good name she deserves.”

  “I seduced you?”

  “Uh-huh. You’re one seductive Knight, you know.”

  “Am I succeeding right now?”

  “Yes.”

  “Good. ‘Cause I’m not leaving here until I satisfy us both.” He pulled down Alex’s strap, lowered his head, and then captured her nipple between his lips.

  “Gawain. Someone might see.”

  “All right. Come on.”

  “Where are we going?” Alex lowered her legs.

  “Boat shed.”

  They swam toward the other side of the clumps of small trees where an old boat shed stood. They reached the old ladder at the same time. “Watch out for the missing rung.”

  “Are we still on Bors’s property?”

  “Yes.” He gave Alex a push. Once they were both on the edge of the lake, he wrapped his arms around her waist again. “I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy the barbecue unless I tasted you first.”

  “Gawain…”

  He gave her a hard kiss that promised something more, then took her hand. They walked quickly toward the old boat shed. There, he found an old sleeping bag. He spread it on the ground. With his cock throbbing, he faced Alex. “I don’t know what you do to me, Alex.” Deftly, he unhooked her top. The small piece of material loosened. “I can’t take my hands off you.” He pulled it off, then dropped it to the side of the sleeping bag. Hungrily, he gazed at Alex’s breasts. “I want to suck you until you came, love.”

  “Gawain….”

  Using both hands, he lifted the beautiful twins and then licked each one. “Beautiful.”

  Alex’s fingers dug in his hair. Her back arched, pressing more of her breasts into his mouth. “Hmmm…”

  He let go of one breast so he could touch her stomach and hips. “You’re wet for me?”

  Alex whimpered her reply.

  Slowly, he slid his hand down to the sweet spot in between her legs. She was warm and slick. “Fuck.” Gawain sat on his knees and pulled her bikini down. He planted kisses on her belly, making her squirm. Oh, yeah. He knew where she wanted his mouth. Over the course of a few days, he’d learned her body’s secrets. Alex liked it when he caressed her ass while sucking her clit. He sat down on the sleeping bag. “Sit on me, Alex.”

  “What?”

  “Come.” He took her hands. As soon as she straddled his hips, he cupped her ass. Slowly, he guided her to move up his chest.

  “What are you doing?”

  “I want to taste you.” He reached up to touch her breast. “So beautiful.” Alex’s pussy was hot against his chest, but he wanted her on his mouth. His cock throbbing, he helped her move until her pussy was directly above his mouth. Her scent had him groaning.

  ”Gawain…”

  “Alex…” He ran his hands on the outside of her thighs and all the way up to her breasts. “You are so smooth and golden.”

  “Thank you. You are so hard and delicious in my eyes.”

  Gawain grinned. “I have full range access, love.” He slowly ran the tips of his fingers down her belly. He felt Alex shiver. “And you, you have to move your lovely ass to let me know where I should focus my tongue and lips.” He gripped her hips and pressed her lower until his mouth clamped on her clit.

  “I never thought…Gawain…”

  He spread her pussy lips, exposing her distended clit. Gawain sucked her clit while Alex arched her spine. She began gyrating her hips, riding his face. Warm juice coated his mouth. She tasted fucking wonderful.

  “Gawain…” She lifted her body up a bit, then cupped his face. “I want to do the same.”

  “You don’t—”

  She turned around to straddle his chest while facing his toes. She looked down at him. “We can both play this game.” Alex leaned forward on top of Gawain’s taut body.

  Gawain couldn’t believe it. Alex wanted a soixante-neuf or sixty-nine. When Alex began to fondle his hard shaft and testicles, he thought he’d lose his control. And then he felt her tongue lick his dick’s head. “Fuck, baby.” Her tentative licking drove him crazy. “Take me. In your mouth. Now.”

  Alex obeyed. He spread her pussy in return and then began feasting.

  His cock throbbed fiercely. Damn, her mouth was warm. He groaned loud when Alex ran her tongue along the length of his cock and then down to his hard balls. His hips instinctively moved. He fucked her mouth while she gyrated her hips. It was heaven.

  “Hmm…Ahhh…” Alex moaned erotically.

  “Fuck. I love your ass.” He spread her lips wider, then flicked his tongue on her clit. He could tell she was close to coming. He was, too. If he didn’t move now, he’d come in her mouth.

  Gently, he urged Alex to lie down on her back. In between Alex’s spread legs, he sat back on his heels. “Now, baby. We fuck.” He rested Alex’s ass on his thighs, aimed his cock at her entry and then thrust hard. “Yes!”

  “Gawain! I love you, I love you.”

  Even with his sex-drowned brain, he heard what she said. Alex loved him. That knowledge made him surge harder and deeper. He gripped her hips and fucked her, his mind reeling from pleasure.

  “Say it again, Alex. Say it.”

  “I love you.”

  “You’re mine. Ah, baby. You’re fucking good.” Running his hands on her body, he helped her turn on her side, lifted her leg and then rammed her pussy. He went so deep he touched her womb. “Come baby, come.”

  “Gawain, please…so good…”

  Gawain pulled out. He placed his mouth where his cock had been and sucked her juice. “Damn, baby.” And then he sucked her clit until Alex cried his name. He was mindless now. This woman was his, his mate. And he loved her, too. Oh, yeah. He loved her. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he plunged his cock deep into her pussy once again. After two more thrusts, he pulled out and spilled his seed below her belly button.

  Shit! He’d never made love to a woman like this. As if this was their last moment together. Breathing hard, he pulled Alex against him and closed his eyes. “Did I hurt you?”

  “No. You made me hungry, though.”

  “Making love is hard work.”

  “But worth every minute of it.”

  “Got that right. Ready for big hotdogs.” He grinned.

  “I have a mouth for it.”

  Gawain choked on his own laughter.

  Chapter Sixteen

  Still dripping wet from swimming, Gawain held Alex’s hand as they walked back to Bors’s backyard. They could hear his brothers cursing, teasing, and laughing. The smell of barbecued hot dogs and steaks mingled with the pine-scented air. Bors’s property was surrounded with thick cedar trees. Everywhere he looked he could see green. It was beautiful.

  He looked down at Alex. Her face was flushed either from the heat or their recent tryst at the boat shed. He imagined her walking around his property, b
arefoot, heavy with their child.

  Their child.

  He tripped on his own feet. Man, where the heck did that idea came from, he thought. Whatever prompted him to think about children made his chest constrict. He tightened his hold on her. God, he loved her.

  “You okay?”

  “Fine, baby. It’s just my legs still felt like noodles from kneeling on the ground.”

  “Not my fault.”

  “I know. Guess what?”

  “What?”

  “Don’t care if I skinned my knees from kneeling as long as I am—”

  “Stop.”

  “What?” He grinned.

  “Whatever.”

  Gawain leaned down for a quick kiss. He’d fallen in love before, but his feelings had never gone so deep to think about having a child. Until now.

  He could not believe what he’d made her do. With this woman, the beast inside him had been clamoring to get out, to do things with her that must be illegal in all fifty states. No, he’d never hurt her. Although, he wanted to try all possible carnal thoughts known to man. Gawain’s dick quickly thickened. Jesus Christ! He stopped walking and then closed his eyes, willing his body to cool down.

  “What’s wrong?”

  Gawain opened his eyes and smiled at Alex. “It seems I didn’t get enough of you. We can’t face those knuckle butts with me looking like this.” He lowered his eyes.

  Alex giggled.

  “And she laughs.”

  Hand in hand, they walked slowly. Gawain didn’t want to let go of her hand. Not now. Not ever. Would she keep her hold on him? She’d better. Or he’d die trying to keep them together. He understood her wanting to go back to the Philippines, but he’d make her understand as well that he would go wherever she wanted to go. He loved her that much.

  “Well, well. Look who decided to join us.” Percival lounged on the chair, holding a can of beer, his wife’s feet propped on his thighs.

  “You showed up just in time,” Tristan said while he turned over the steaks.

  “I’m sure Gawain’s not hungry, bro. He just ate.”

  Gawain shook his head at Bors. “Fuck you, man.” He took the towels from the picnic table and handed one to Alex.
