Sweet Heat Rising (Thoroughbred Men Series)

by Sterling, Ginny

  Tyler was silent and then replied, “Sure. I will see you tomorrow,” and hung up the phone. He was frustrated and angry. If she wanted to stay somewhere, he had always been there for her over the last several months…why could she not trust him? She would be more than welcome at his place if she needed a place to stay. He almost hung up on her but thought against it. He just wanted to see her smiling face and talk to her alone, without her boyfriend there.

  Sarah was relieved to be headed in tomorrow but was a bit taken aback by the abrupt ending to the call. She was glad to hear it was a busy day at the store but felt slightly guilty that Tyler had to handle it alone. She knew firsthand how tough it could be to race around all day alone at the counter.

  Matt asked, “care to share what he said?” knowing part of the conversation had to deal with her whereabouts. She informed him about the quote, how it sounded like a good day and that Tyler kept asking where she was. Matt offered to drop her off in the morning at the bakery and then pick her up, just so she was ‘safe’ and didn't have to be alone walking in or out of the bakery after hours. It wasn't a dangerous location at all, but he definitely preferred seeing her off, for purely selfish reasons: He wanted to make sure she was safe and seeing her was turning into the highlight of his day.

  They ate dinner quietly and suggested watching a DVD together. Later, as she yawned, Sarah cleared her throat and said amicably, “I have a proposal for you.” She felt guilty taking the couch and anytime she brought it up, he told her he was taking the couch tonight and she would have his room. There was no sense in that, she thought.

  Matt wagged his eyebrows at her and said, “Indecent, I hope?” he teased. He loved teasing her and making her smile. He couldn't help it when she suggested a proposal, for him it brought to mind the movie title.

  Sarah blushed furiously and smiled at him. “You wish! Actually, I thought that it wasn't fair for me to take the bed and you sleep on the couch... and I know you put me on the couch last night and took the floor. How about we both sleep comfortably on the bed?” she rushed on at his lecherous grin “…and since we are both adults, we know that we need to get to know each other better before anything happens because if it happens too fast, I get overwhelmed. We should be able to sleep comfortably, right?” she explained.

  Matt tried to wipe the smile off his face and could not. He tried in all seriousness to respond, but ended up with a smirk on his face he could not remove. She was adorable when she was embarrassed, but yet she sat right next to him all day in barely anything. “You are absolutely right.” He didn't want to sound like a degenerate, he was really attracted to her and genuinely liked her a lot. He had been a perfect gentleman so far and would do his damnedest to continue to be one, but she had the sweetest taste when he kissed her and the softest skin, as long as they didn't do any touching or kissing he was certain that sleeping would be no problem at all. Maybe a wall of pillows between them would help? Or a cold shower?

  Sarah eyed him and was slightly disappointed. She knew he was being very considerate with her. He was very worried with what was going on at her condo, with her safety, and the theft at the bakery. So far he had been polite, but at the bakery, when he kissed her? It was like someone threw a match into a pile of straw. His hands were everywhere, like he could not get enough- and she understood the feeling because she did not want him to stop. She never expected him to agree so readily… and it truly was not the answer she was wanting to hear.

  They finished watching the movie, Matt moved to clear the dishes and load them into the dishwasher. He heard Sarah ask over the running water in the sink, if he minded that she went ahead and got a shower. Matt dropped a plate into the sink and cleared his throat. “Nope, not at all,” he said calmly and picked up the plate, continued washing it off as nothing happened. Picturing her in the shower, naked, was wreaking havoc on his mind.

  Sarah smiled widely and headed for the bathroom. She tossed the sheet from the bathroom doorway to the bed, grabbed some clean items from her bag and locked the bathroom door. She hopped in the shower, borrowed his razor and proceeded to get cleaned up...smiling all the while. Sarah was a quiet alpha personality, she made her own way, made her own decisions and was in the process of making one now: she planned on seducing him.

  Matt was obviously going to treat her like a lady and try his best not to move too quickly, but Sarah genuinely liked him and wanted more. She could also tell from his expression and the few innuendos he let slip, he was definitely interested in her too. She was an adult and wanted a bit more from him. It's not like she was a young girl who didn't know what she was getting into? She knew and planned to go after it, even if she was a bit nervous about it and had never seduced a guy before. Josh had always been the aggressor in their relationship, so she never really had to try.

  She turned off the water, towel dried her hair and brushed her teeth. She donned a clean, black tank top and the skimpiest pair of panties she owned currently in her bag of thrown together things from her condo, a silky black thong with a lace heart at the top of her cheeks. She had no perfume unfortunately, her only bottle had been smashed at her place and it was on her list of items to replace at her home. “It is now or never,” she whispered to herself, shut her eyes and took a deep breath. Be bold, she thought, you got this!

  She unlocked the door and stepped out into the room. He was not even there! The bed was empty still. The tossed sheet still lay where it landed. She could hear the TV going and casually walked down the small hallway to the kitchen-living room combo. She walked over to the sink, grabbed a glass and filled it. She took a deep swallow of the water and she got the reaction she had hoped for.

  Matt thought his eyes had popped out of his skull when he saw her at the sink. “Sweet Jesus, Sarah you are killing me...” Matt said aloud. He had tried to give her space since she had been displaced, they were still in the ‘new’ phase of their relationship. Granted they had spent a lot of time together recently and she had quite a bit of things happen lately that really cemented a trust factor between them, but in all reality, they were still ‘new’ to each other. He needed it to be just as intense for her as it was for him. He couldn't breathe near her, he wanted to touch her and please her; he wanted to be her world and could not understand how it happened so fast. It was her smile, her eyes, her personality and she felt like his other half...it was quick for him.

  He’d never felt such a connection since his wife had died all those years ago and did not want to let it slip through his fingers...but for her, she seemed so quiet and reserved sometimes, like there was two sides to the ‘coin’ because at other times she was straightforward and headstrong. Making decisions, moving forward, strong enough to be on her own and she did not really seem to need anyone... he wanted her to need him.

  Sarah looked at him on the couch innocently. “Is something wrong?” she said and smiled. She casually set down the glass and stretched her arms up to fake a yawn, as she watched him out of the corner of her eyes. She felt sensual and powerful in his gaze, like she was the only woman for him.

  Matt got up from the couch and moved purposefully towards her, pulling off his T-shirt, tossing it off to the side. He grabbed her and kissed her deeply. Sarah moaned hotly against his mouth. Matt broke off the kiss, shut his eyes and placed his forehead against hers. “You sure about this? I wanted to give you time, to give us time, and make sure this is what you want. I do not want to push you, but I can only take so much and I want you so bad. I want to taste you, bury myself deep in you and never let go...” he whispered, holding her tightly. She felt so soft in his arms and he was not sure he could let go.

  Sarah stroked his back and kissed him softly. “I want all of that too, but I cannot imagine not being with you tonight and I need this too. I can’t explain it.” She meant every word. She wanted to be touched by him and to touch him in return.

  That was all the invitation he needed. Matt picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He kissed her deeply
, his tongue stroking hers. His hands gripped her bottom as he pulled her tight against him and carried her to the bedroom. He gently set her on the edge of the bed and broke the kiss to look at her. He watched her as he gently ran his hands down her arms and laced one hand with hers, the other hand broke away to touch her jaw, traced her neckline, and softly touched the nipples that strained against her tank top.

  Sarah was breathing heavily and watched him. She pulled her hand from his and leaned back on her elbows as an invitation. Her shirt had ridden up somewhat and you could see her skin between the thong and her tank. She hoped he would touch that spot and more!

  Matt leaned down and kissed that patch of skin and smiled when he heard her breath hitch. His hands moved to where his lips had just been and slid underneath her tank, on her stomach and gently slid them higher, watching her reaction. Her skin was so soft and warm, it reminded him of silk.

  Sarah closed her eyes, it was as if he read her mind! She threw her head back as he reached her breasts under the tank. His hands were so hot and gave her goose bumps. She was overwhelmed by the desire she felt building in her. She loved his hands on her breasts and arched her back, to allow him more access.

  Matt caressed and cupped her breasts, his thumb flicking over her nipples and gave them a slight pinch. He wanted to see her and touch her. He pulled back and hiked an arm under her pulling her towards him. He kissed her deeply and removed her tank top, pulling her close to him so he could feel her nipples against his chest.

  He kissed her mouth, dropped kisses down her throat and nipped at her collar bone. He leaned up and let his hands take over for a moment. He smiled when he saw her eyes closed and the look of anticipation on her face. His eyes ran down to her beautiful breasts. They were pale, full and her pink nipples were so tight in response to his touch.

  He had to taste them. He stroked the undersides of her breasts, cupped them gently and licked each tip. At her gasp, he grew more aroused. He gently drew her nipple into his mouth and laved it when she arched her back.

  Matt moved to suckle the other breast and gripped her bare skin that was parted suggestively by the thong. He stroked each lower cheek with his hands and slid them up and over to her thighs as he continued to lick, suck, and nibble at each tender nipple.

  Sarah couldn't think. She grasped his hair, holding him tight to her. The sensations he had caused in her were amazing and she felt such excitement. His mouth was driving her crazy. She was overwhelmed in desire and wanted to do the same to him but she didn't want him to stop either. Each tug of her nipple elicited a small groan from her and she wanted it to go on forever. She had never felt like this with anyone else.

  Matt was so turned on by her response. Her nipples were like candy and so sweet to nibble on. She drove him nuts with her little gasps and moans. He could feel himself straining to get free of his shorts and the throbbing was almost painful. He wanted to feel himself deep in her but wanted to make sure she was ready too. He wanted to taste every inch of her.

  He pulled his hands from her thighs and slid his shorts off carefully, as he freed himself. He moved from each delicate breast to trail kisses along her soft skin down to her most delicate area. He heard her breath hitch and slid her underwear off her slowly. She was stunning to look upon. Her soft pink skin was dewy and he could see just how excited she was. Her skin glistened in the lamplight and she tugged at his arms. Matt couldn't help himself, he had to have more of her.

  He leaned down and kissed her bare mons, sliding one trembling leg over his shoulder. He licked a delicate lip, teasingly, giving her time to stop him if she so wanted. Sarah squirmed in response. Matt licked the other dewy lip and when Sarah moaned, he reached for her and proceeded to lose control. He licked each crevice and found the bud he was looking for. He stroked it, licked it, lightly nibbled at it, delighted in each gasp and moan. He touched her and held her shaking legs as she tried to move. She was delicious and he wanted more of her. She rocked her hips against him as he continued the assault.

  Sarah could feel the tension growing in her body and could feel it building. She knew she was close to an explosion and wanted to feel it with him. She whispered to him, “Let me touch you too.” She wanted to make him feel as good as he was making her feel. She wanted to make him moan and gasp as well.

  Matt kissed her inner thighs and raised himself up, he kissed her again. He was not sure how much he could take from her. He shook from desire, tasting her essence on his mouth. He wanted to give her everything she asked for.

  Sarah could barely make a cognitive thought other than she wanted to touch and taste him too. “Stand up,” she commanded huskily. She watched as he moved slowly to stand. She sat upon the edge of the bed, looked upon his toned body. She admired as he stood proudly, his member swollen and beckoned. Sarah looked at him in desire. It was animalistic how bad she wanted to touch him. She reached out a shaking hand and gently cupped him. She heard him groan at her touch and watched as he shut his eyes, his head leaning back.

  Instinct took over in Sarah and she leaned forward and licked the engorged tip of him. She heard him moan again in response to her mouth and she felt him jump in reaction. She leaned in again, and took him deeply in her mouth. She was inordinately pleased when she heard him gasp and felt his hands grab her hair. She ran her tongue over and over again along the shaft, particularly playing with the head of him. She pulled back and licked the glistening drop on the head, tasting the musky essence of him.

  Matt wanted more but couldn't take it, he had to have her body. “I have to be deep in you, princess,” he said huskily, as he picked her up and scooted her back further on the bed. His body demanded release. He could not focus. He tasted her on his mouth and when he felt her mouth on him, he almost gave in too soon. He climbed between her legs, her sweet heat so close to him.

  Sarah sighed in delight. She loved his response and lack of control. His hands and mouth were everywhere. Sarah looked at him curiously, and grew alarmed as he backed away quickly and suddenly stopped touching her. She sat up and yelped, “What is wrong?” as he started to leave the room without explanation.

  Matt chuckled said, “Baby, relax... I’m getting a condom really quickly. I will be right there.” There was no way he would have ever left this moment. He had to pry himself away from her and longingly glanced at her body spread on the bed. He marveled at how much his hands shook as he glided the condom on. She did this to him. She made him feel like a stallion. She amazed him like no other ever had.

  Sarah leaned back, it was just a moment before she felt the bed sink next to her. She opened her eyes and smiled at him. She ran her hands over his hips softly as he paused between her legs, holding himself over her. She admired his physique in the dusky room and felt like the luckiest girl.

  Matt didn't want this moment to end. She lay beneath him, flushed and so sexy. Her lips were parted, she had the most delicate smile on her face. Her eyes were halfway closed and he loved knowing that he did that to her. He didn't know how it happened but she was his world and he loved her. He kissed her softly and asked her, “You sure about this?” She was everything to him.

  Sarah looked longingly at him. “Oh yes, very sure” she whispered and tugged at his hips, she wanted more. She wanted to feel him in the most instinctive of ways. She wanted to be loved and needed to feel him love her.

  Matt felt her heat and wetness against the tip of him and slowly slid inside. He was overwhelmed by the sensation. She was so tight and warm. He watched her face for any sign of pain or pleasure as he glided himself deeply in her. He heard Sarah’s breath hitch, watched her eyes shut in desire.

  As he slid fully inside, he heard her moan deep in her throat. That was his undoing, her moan and her reaction to him. Matt grabbed her hips in response and whispered harshly, “Sarah, I am sorry, baby... I want to go slow, but I can’t. You feel amazing.” He held her hips tightly and drew back, plunging himself deep in her.

  Sarah gasped and could feel herself clench dow
n around his thick member. He filled her so much and was so deep in her. She felt every inch of him touch her and felt such heat unfurl in her body. Instead of feeling concern at his harsh hold, she felt empowered. She knew he would never harm her, and when he tightened his grip and plunged himself in her, her level of desire grew exponentially. She had never felt like this before!

  Matt was shaking and continued to grind himself deep into her and was losing control with every gasp, or moan. He could feel her warmth milking him. She felt so tight and pulled at his hips desperately, rising her own up to meet at him. He thrust himself in her, repeatedly and as he felt her excitement grow, he leaned up and slid a hand between the two of them to caress her most sensitive spot. He would make certain there was no other for her ever. He wanted to make her see stars when she came in his arms.

  Sarah felt his fingers on her core as he slammed his body into hers. She felt such intimate sensations overwhelm her and felt herself burst apart. She felt a guttural scream rip from her mouth as her body exploded around his. She clenched desperately at his shoulders, as if to keep from shattering. His mouth clamped down on hers, capturing her scream, in a heated battle of lust.

  Matt could feel her coming and with her explosion; he felt her spasm and lost himself into her, arching himself to get more deeply into her tightness. She felt so hot and when her sweetness clenched down on him, he gave in to the sensation and felt his own explosion match hers. He paused for a few, inside of her, waiting for his chest to quit pounding and not wanting the moment to end.

  Sarah ran her hands lightly over his chest, making soft circles on him as she watched his face and studied his body. He had the most beautiful shoulders and torso. She watched him lazily as he held himself tightly deep inside of her. He had quite the grip on her hips and hadn't let up yet.

  Matt opened his eyes and looked at her on the bed. She was clearly the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. Her hair was sprawled around her head, her eyes were full of desire, her lovely breasts were flushed and nipples erect still. He never wanted this to end.
