As Fate Would Have It
Page 14
Rye slid one hand lower, finding the catch on her jeans. With quick finesse, he soon had her jeans open and in a pile at her feet. His mouth latched onto one breast while his hand skirted down to her panties, extending to lightly track between her legs.
She shivered from the touch. His tongue laved her nipple as long fingers slid under the edge of her panties, seeking her moist heat. Unconsciously, she parted her legs, allowing him more access to her tender parts.
Hooking her hands on his boxers, she tugged. His mouth left her as he bent to complete the task, standing nude before her, his erection jutting out proudly. Her eyes focused on his endowment, unable to look away.
Rye remained still momentarily before seizing control once more. He quickly disposed of her undies, maneuvering them to the bed, and laid her down.
Brie scooted toward the headboard, watching him intently as he stalked her, the bed dipping beneath his weight. In her eyes, Rye exuded hunk status in clothing, but naked he rose to the level of gorgeous. Muscles flexed and rippled with each movement, hinting at sheer male strength.
His eyes feasted on her exposed body. Feeling vulnerable and self-conscious, she quickly reached for the covers.
"No. I want to see you," Rye whispered, moving against her side.
Face flaming, she nodded, forcing her attentions back to his body.
No sense in trying to hide now, not after he thoroughly checked her stitches each and every day. She had protested, he had insisted, and she had fidgeted under his scrutiny of such a private area for the duration of time it took to heal.
They both watched as his first two fingers followed the quickly fading scar from her wound. Arching over her hip, he gently traced downward, ending between her thighs.
His mouth returned to her breast while his left hand resumed exploration of her nether parts, seeking and rubbing tenderly.
She gasped and arched when his fingers softly brushed across her hard nubbin. Forgetting modesty, she spread her legs wider, eager for more attention. As a long finger entered her channel, she wrapped her fingers around his tumescence, tentatively squeezing and pumping.
He growled in response, doubling his invasion inside her. A few long moments of teasing and he moved away, heading to the side of the bed.
Confused, Brie sat up. "Rye?" She panted.
He dug though his jeans, looking for his wallet. "Condom."
Finding what he wanted, he used his teeth to open the package, quickly slipping it on.
Brie lay back as he rejoined her on the bed, meeting his seeking mouth with earnest. She pulled him close, while her hips shifted beneath him.
She couldn't wait any longer; her whole body throbbed with need, expectation, and desire. Want replaced uncertainty and nervousness. "Please." Reaching out, she squeezed his rear then pulled him closer.
Rye shifted, placed his erection at her entrance. Leaning over, he covered her mouth with his as he thrust for home.
Brie gasped at the sudden sharp pain of his entry, her muscles locking in protest.
Rye froze, lifting to stare down at her face. Surprise and shock registered across his features. "Brie?"
As the pain began to ease, she slowly relaxed under him. "It's okay. I want… this. I want… you." She lifted experimentally against him. "Please, don't stop."
He studied her a long moment, before covering her once more. Soft lips teased her own before making their way down to a breast, sucking the nipple deep into his mouth.
Brie wiggled and groaned beneath him, once again caught up in the pleasure of his attentions.
Slowly and gently, Rye began to move within her once more. His eyes locked on her face even as he continued to learn her body with touch.
She met his thrusts, held him close, and wrapped her legs around his thighs. Anything to get him closer and deeper. Her heart pounded as she began to pant, feeling a tightening below.
Rye lifted enough to dip one hand downward, finding her exposed clit, and rubbed his thumb over the area.
Brie saw stars. With a grunt, she flew headlong into the most intense sensation of her life. He roared above her, ramming quickly before finally stilling.
He collapsed on top of her, breathing hard against her neck as she reached up to trace fingers across his sweaty lower back. She took a moment to savor the closeness, enjoying the feel of her naked skin against his.
Too short a time later, Brie felt Rye stir, slipping his deflating cock from her. She flinched as he pulled across sensitive nerves, before watching him leave the bed.
He took only a moment to dispose of the used condom before returning.
She quickly settled back against him, reclining half on his chest as he rested on his back, his arm looped around her. Nuzzling his neck, she placed little kisses against his ear, slowly making her way to his mouth.
He returned the attention lazily with much less vigor and haste than before.
Uncertainty crept back into her mind. He hadn't said anything. Maybe she didn't compare to the others he had been with. Perhaps he already regretted their actions.
Using the tip of her tongue, she licked up the column of his throat, kissing his chin upon arrival.
His chuckle surprised her. Looking down, she stared at his face, trying desperately to read his thoughts.
"Squirrel, what am I going to do with you?" He guided her leg over, settling her to straddle his body, letting her rest on top of him.
"Do?" She quickly discovered a nice benefit of her current position. Rocking her hips, she earned another groan from him before his large hands clamped down, holding her still.
He kissed her nose and her forehead, a grin covering his face. "An insatiable virgin. Talk about damn lucky."
Her lips pouted at his teasing. "I don't think I qualify any longer." Not that she had any regrets. In fact, she quickly decided it was her best decision in a long time.
Hands massaged her back as he adjusted himself under her. Light kisses rained over her face before he relaxed back against the bed. "You okay?" His eyes bored into hers, searching into her soul.
She nodded, not trusting her voice. A quick fire flashed across her face at the intimate question.
When the pregnant silence continued, she threw away caution and asked, "You aren't disappointed?" She lowered her head, afraid to see and hear her worst fears come to truth.
He pulled her face down to his, plundering her lips, and leaving her breathless. "You are amazing. Beautiful, and definitely worth corrupting."
She smiled against his lips, relieved and hopeful. "Maybe I'll corrupt you."
One dimple popped in his cheek. "We'll see."
Settling into him, Brie soaked up the moment.
"I put my house up for sale today," he whispered against her lips.
She paused, then pushed against his chest, making enough space to watch his face intently. "What did you say?"
He gave her a squeeze, locking his arms around her. "I put my house on the market."
She looked at him, surprised and puzzled. He wouldn't dare tease her like that, would he? "You spent yesterday at your house. I thought you had everything ready to move back in."
He ran his large hand through his hair. "I did. I was." His eyes checked out the view of her cleavage resting against his chest before returning his attention to her. "It was too quiet."
Her heart lifted while a smile appeared. "You missed me?"
"Yeah." The word came out a bit sheepishly, but sincere.
Joy rushed though her body, giving her the energy to wrap her arms tightly around his neck. She peppered kisses across his face as he met her lips in return. Taking a moment to catch her breath, she grinned happily up at him. "You really mean it? You are staying here with me?"
He chuckled and leaned in for a nibble of her earlobe. "If you will have me, Squirrel."
"Oh, I'll have you and keep you, too." She nuzzled his cheek and murmured against his ear. "I think I might love you." A flash of absolute happiness rushed through her mind.
He chuckled, giving her a squeeze. "That's good. Cause I love you, too." He sealed the deal by locking his lips to hers.
Feeling more comfortable with the words, she quickly added. "I think I've loved you since you tied me to that tree when we were kids."
Spontaneous laughter sounded across the room. He continued until his face turned red from lack of air.
Brie sat up, becoming more and more offended by the second. What was so funny? She declared her love and he laughed his butt off?
Just before she climbed out of the bed in annoyance, his tittering quieted. The wide smile remained plastered on his face, as his eyes sparkled with amusement. Pulling her down on his chest, he held her tight. "I knew you were kinky."
She gasped, then lightly smacked his chest. Flames enveloped her face. "I am not."
"We'll see." He promised, sealing the deal with a deep kiss. "I love you, Brie. Closet bondage nut and all."
The End
About the Author
Growing up in the Midwest, I began reading romance novels in high school, immediately falling in love with the genre, to the point where I decided to write professionally for a career. However, that dream splattered against a brick wall and resulting quick death in my first writing class in college when my professor told me bluntly that I wasn't any good at it. I shifted gears quickly, and left my writing dreams behind, eventually settling on being a nurse.
A few years back, I stumbled across a fan-fiction writing site on a favorite author's webpage. I began to read stories others wrote, not only making some wonderful close friends from the experience, but also, really learning to write for the very first time. Here I was able to share short stories, practice my writing skills, and truly develop into a writer. More than that, the experience allowed me to revitalize my dream, as I rediscovered joy in writing.
When I'm not working or writing, I enjoy working in the garden, canning, and seeing my backyard as a living canvas for my whimsical landscaping, and, of course, reading romance novels.
