  “It’s none of your damn business. Let me go.”

  “No. Not until you tell me what this is about. You wake up screaming like you have every night for the last week and a half and suddenly you’re looking for someone to fuck you. If this is something you do all the time you sure as hell didn’t mention it. Talk to me, Tori.”

  Her face crumbled. “You think I do this all the time?”

  “No, I don’t. That’s not what I meant. I think you’re very selective and would never pick up a stranger for sex unless there was something pushing you to do it. Please tell me what happened. I know you don’t really want anonymous sex with some nameless penis. Help me understand.”

  “Why should I help you when you won’t help me?” She was angry enough to try to shove him away from her. When Guy reached for her hands, she started pounding on him. “You big son of a bitch. Who the hell do you think you are? If I want to fuck a stranger I will. You can’t stop me.”

  “Oh yes, I can.” He snagged her arms and twisted them behind her back, holding her wrists in one hand. His legs trapped hers before she thought to kick him. His other arm snaked around her stomach and held her firmly against him. “I’ll handcuff you to the bed if I have to. You aren’t going anywhere so you may as well start explaining.”

  “Damn you! Let me go.”

  “Talk to me.”

  “Fuck you.”

  “Talk to me.”

  “Let me go or I’ll report you for police brutality.”

  “Talk to me.”

  “Don’t make me hate you.”

  “Talk to me.”

  Tori’s breath came in heavy pants as she struggled to break free but Guy didn’t budge.

  “Talk to me. Please. I don’t want your arms to go numb but I can’t let you go until I understand. Please, Tori. Talk to me.”

  She sighed and stopped fighting. “Fine. After they finished talking about how they’re going to kill Sam and torture the kittens in front of Kimmie before they bash her head with the baseball bat on Wednesday, they started talking about finding me. I’m their next stop and they have it all planned out how it’s going to be when they get here.”

  “What do they have planned out?” Guy asked when she didn’t continue.

  “Oh, just how they’re going to get me all worked up so I beg them to fuck me. Together. At the same time. With Russ in me from the front while Stan gets me from behind. They were describing it and I could feel it. I can still feel it. Oh God, Guy, make it go away. I can’t stand it. Make it stop. Let me go so I can find someone to have sex with so I don’t keep feeling them touching me. Please, let me go.”

  Guy turned her to face him. “No,” he refused as he stared intently into her eyes. “I can’t. What if you pick up someone even worse than they are?”

  “I’ll go to the rest stop out on the highway. I used to waitress there. I never went out with any of the guys who asked but I learned to tell which were nice and which were jerks.”

  “No, Tori. I can’t let you do this.”

  “Then you’ll have to do it. Don’t say no, Guy. Don’t make me picture this over and over again in my mind. Stop being a cop and be a man. Stop controlling everything and take what I’m offering. Your cock is still hard so I know your body wants mine. Don’t think about this in terms of us. Think of it as raw sex. As a man taking a woman who wants to be used hard. For as long as you can. In as many ways as you can. Think pure lust tonight. Better yet, don’t think at all. Just let go and do it. Be the Alpha male and fuck me like you know you want to. Use your body to prove I’m yours.”

  Tori had been shifting her nipples against his chest as she spoke, certain he could feel how hard they were through her light tank top. “I’m so wet already. Wet and tight. I haven’t had sex in months and your cock is so big. I want to feel you stretching me around you until you’re buried deep inside and then I want you to pull almost all the way out and shove it back in all at once. It’ll feel so good, Guy. I’m so hot it won’t take much to make me come. You want to do that, I know you do. You want to feel me come around your stiff cock as much as I want to feel you explode inside me. For real, Guy, no condom. If they’re coming here to kill me too I want to feel that once in my life before I die. I want you to fuck me so many times I’m pumped so full of your hot cum that it feels like it’s going to run out of my ears. I want you to grab my head and force your cock into my throat and make me fuck you with my mouth until I have to swallow every drop you have.”

  “Tori,” Guy snarled, fighting a losing battle.

  “Don’t say no, Guy. Don’t stop what we both want. Don’t hold back from me. Be an Alpha male beast and take what’s yours. Stop thinking about right and wrong and do it. Fuck me, Guy. Do everything you’ve ever wanted and make me scream.”

  “Are you sure? Are you really sure? If we start this we’ll do all that and more. I won’t stop until I have it all. Be sure this is what you want because once I agree there’s no going back. Saying no and you’ve changed your mind won’t end things. It’ll just piss me off and make me wild enough to get rough with you. I don’t want to hurt you but I might if you try to get away from me.”

  “I won’t. I want you wild. I want you rough. You won’t scare me out of this no matter how out of control you threaten to be. Not when the other choice is to keep seeing their faces as they panted over what they believe I want to do with them. I could smell their sweat. I could feel their slimy hands on my skin. I could feel them drooling on my body. Help me forget. I need you, Guy. Please help me.”

  Tori had tears streaming down her cheeks but this time Guy realized they were tears of desperation. The part of him that was reared to be a decent man and treat women with respect balked at giving in to Tori’s pleas. He had never callously used a woman in the way she suggested. Even the relationships that he’d formed purely for sexual gratification were more than what she was pushing for.

  On the other hand, the woman he was rapidly falling in love with needed him. She had been horrified when she described how they wanted to be with her. Her skin was practically crawling when she spoke of how real her dream had seemed. The thought of them touching her intimately stirred the Alpha male instincts in him to claim her exactly as she was urging him to. On top of that, she was right. He had promised to help her in whatever way she needed him to and he had refused the only thing she’d asked him for. Add in the feel of her hand when she’d managed to stroke him with the way she had ground her hips against his cock and brushed her stiffened nipples across his chest, and Guy’s body was primed for action.

  “What about tomorrow, Tori?” Guy asked, holding her so she couldn’t reach him. “How are you going to react when you wake up, naked in my arms, sticky and smelling of sex? Are you going to pretend nothing happened between us and shut me out? Don’t bother repeating that bullshit of how this isn’t about us because if we do this every bit of it will be between us. You and me, Tori. Not you and a nameless cock. You and me. If we fuck tonight I’ll expect to make slow, sweet love tomorrow. If we do this I won’t stop myself from caressing you and cuddling you and kissing you as I have been. Are you going to push me away or will you do the same?”

  “God, Guy, why are you asking all these questions? Either you want me or you don’t. That’s the only thing you should be asking right now.”

  “That’s the one thing neither one of us has to ask. We both know I want you. I’m not looking for any promises of undying love forever here. But I want more than a quick fuck.”

  “Quick?”

  “You know what I mean so knock it off. All I’m saying is that I deserve—no, we deserve—a chance to see if we can have something together.” Guy studied her. “It’s up to you, Tori. Do you want my cock and all that you’ll get with it? Before you answer, let me give you an alternative. If you say no, I’ll still take care of you.”

  “How?”

  “With my hands. Not that I’m bragging but I am very capable of making you come that way. It won’t
be exactly what you want but I will keep you screaming until morning.”

  Tori stared until he finally released her. She sputtered, furious, before spinning to pace in the limited space of the bedroom. Guy was standing in the doorway and she knew he’d never let her leave. “You-you big French jerk! Conceited asshole! You’ll keep me screaming until morning with nothing but your hands,” she sneered, repeating his statement with an exaggerated accent. “This is blackmail and you’re doing it on purpose. You’ll give me what I need but only if I agree to keep on screwing you or I have to settle for your measly little hands fingering me like-like some horny teenager.”

  “You can always use your own hands.” Guy shrugged. “Now that I think of it, I’d love to see that. Take your pick, tiger, but whatever you decide I am staying with you until you get over the idea of picking up a stranger. And don’t bother lying because I’ll know and I’ll handcuff you to me for the duration.”

  Again, Tori stared in disbelief. After a prolonged silence, she scowled. “Okay. Fine. You win.” She yanked off her tank top and threw it at him. “We’ll fuck and we’ll make love and paw each other and all the rest of that shit for however long this takes. But when this is over, if I wake up one morning and realize that I only wanted you because you were the big strong man who swooped in to rescue me you have to go away and leave me alone.” She kicked off her shorts. “Well? What are you waiting for? Drop those drawers already and show me what you got. I said you’d get your chance, now I want to fuck.”

  “Shut up,” Guy growled. “Come here.”

  Tori hesitated at his tone. His gaze raked her boldly and she could see the lust in his eyes. No one had ever looked at her like that before and she wasn’t sure she could handle it. Then again, she’d never made the kinds of demands she just had or said anything remotely close to the things she’d said to Guy. She stayed where she was so long he finally raised an eyebrow as if questioning her nerve. She took it as a challenge and forced her feet to cross the short distance between them until she was inches from his chest.

  With a savage growl, Guy scooped Tori off her feet and shoved her things out of his way so he could deposit her on top of her dresser. His hands gripped her thighs and pulled her to the edge. He spread her legs and stood between them.

  “Open up wider. All the way, like you would if you really wanted a man.”

  Tori did as he ordered, leaning back on her hands and arching her back so her breasts were just as available. Still holding her gaze, Guy pinched her nipples so hard she gasped in surprise. She knew he was testing her and forced herself to push into his grasp instead of retreating. He chuckled wickedly and pinched even harder, tugging on her flesh almost cruelly before abruptly releasing her.

  After several repeats, he added a vicious twist at the end of each tug. He kept at it until Tori’s startled expression softened with pleasure. Instantly, he assaulted her peaks with rapid flicks as if he was trying to remove them from her body. Again, the shock wore off and Tori was moaning for more. Without warning, Guy fisted his hand in her hair and yanked her face back so her mouth was open when his covered it. Even before his lips molded to hers, his tongue invaded her mouth, stroking deeply as he tasted her.

  At exactly the same time as he began to claim her mouth, one finger plunged fully into her soaked core. His tongue and finger withdrew in unison. On his second thrust, he impaled her with two fingers. He used three on the third. Instead of withdrawing, his tongue explored and his fingers curled, pressing firmly against her G-spot as his thumb mashed her clit.

  “Oh my God,” Tori gasped into Guy’s mouth as she climaxed almost violently, bucking against him while he held her in place.

  Even before she calmed, he untangled his hand and resumed his torment on her nipples, alternating both sides and touches. The fingers of his other hand mimicked the one at her breasts as he relentlessly attacked her already sensitive bud. Within minutes, Tori was writhing with pleasure as she shattered again.

  “Stop,” Tori panted when his fingers reentered her quivering sheath. “Too much.”

  “I told you to shut up,” Guy reprimanded her harshly.

  Tori’s struggles ended seconds later when Guy shifted her slightly off the dresser. He trapped her legs with his body. His gaze snared hers with its intensity while his fingers spread her wetness to her now-accessible anus. When she was sufficiently lubricated, Guy slowly wriggled his little finger into her tightly clenched hole. Using his other hand, he stroked her other opening, distracting her until he managed to replace his little finger with the two biggest ones. Still watching her, he began to thrust with both hands. At first, he alternated, letting her muscles adjust to his intrusion. When she attempted to move with him, he switched so his fingers all moved together, filling her fully, retreating completely and reversing rapidly, impaling her to the hilt. Tori was already shaking when he pressed his fingers together, pinching the tight barrier between her channels. The third orgasm had Tori sprawling bonelessly on the dresser. Without Guy supporting her, she would have slipped to the floor.

  When Tori’s mind finally began to function, she realized Guy was standing between her legs, leaning with his hands on the outside of her hips without touching her anywhere. “Guy,” she pleaded, unsure what she was pleading for.

  “Tell me, Tori, how many horny teenagers made you come like that with their measly little hands?”

  “Oh God, Guy. I’m sorry. I take it back. Your hands are incredible. Amazing. Better than unbelievable. That was… I never… I mean… Oh God, Guy.”

  “I need you to concentrate now, okay? Are you listening?” Guy waited for her full attention. “That was just a sample of what I can do with my hands. I think I proved that I wasn’t merely bragging when I said I could take care of you like that. I’m going to ask you one last time. Do you want me to lay you on the bed and show you how creative I can be with nothing but my hands and no other intimate contact until after you put this behind you or do you still want to give yourself to me completely, knowing that I have every intention of finding a way to keep you?”

  Tori searched his face while she debated her answer. She was certain that he really would limit himself to touching her if that’s what she decided. From what she’d just experienced, she knew that his hands alone would drive any lingering images of Russ and Stan from her mind. Hell, he’d already done that with three orgasms in maybe eight minutes at most.

  Guy’s expression was bland as if her response didn’t matter in the least but Tori could see how rapid his pulse was in his neck. In the brief time she’d known him, Tori felt more at ease with him than she ever had in her life. Talking with him, working together in her small kitchen, relaxing in the evenings after Todd left them alone was so different from her previous experiences. For the first time in her life, Tori was comfortable. She was beginning to understand what it felt like to belong. Somehow she forgot she needed to keep her distance and protect herself from him without even realizing it.

  Sitting up, Tori ran her palms over his solid chest. “I want you to show me everything you can do with your hands, Guy.” His expression faltered. “But not right now.” His eyebrow lifted. “Now I want you to show me what you can do with your cock.”

  Guy nodded once and stepped back. Watching her watching him, he dragged off his sweatpants, exposing his raging hard-on.

  “You want me to fuck you,” he stated. “How?”

  “Hard,” Tori whispered, not taking her eyes off his engorged cock.

  “Where?”

  “Everywhere.”

  “Where on your body, not where in the house,” he clarified as if she’d misunderstood.

  “Everywhere,” she repeated. “I-I, well, no one else ever, um, you were the first who, I mean…”

  Guy chuckled softly at her blush. “Your ass is virgin.”

  “Yeah. But I liked it. Once I got used to it, it felt really, really good.”

  “So good you’re curious about being filled with my cock.” He st
roked it slowly while she watched with rounded eyes. “It’s a lot bigger than my fingers. Stretching you will hurt even if I manage to do it slowly. But once I have you open the pain will become pleasure.”

  Tori’s expression showed that she believed him. “Can I touch you?”

  “No.” Guy continued his lazy movement along his shaft. “Stand up and turn around.” Tori looked slightly intimidated but did it without hesitating. “Bend over,” he ordered, pushing on her back as he spoke. “Oh yeah,” Guy growled as his hands gripped her buttocks. “I definitely want this ass.” Tori gasped when he parted her cheeks. “Later. I need this first.” His erection found her slit and Guy buried himself with one thrust. “Christ, you’re tight,” he groaned as he began to move. His hands slid to her hips and he held her in place, pounding into her from behind.

  “Guuuy,” Tori moaned, trying desperately to push back to meet him. “No,” she cried when he withdrew completely.

  Guy lifted Tori and dropped her on the bed facing him. He fully appreciated the added height of the antique bed and overstuffed mattress now that she was sprawled naked on top of it. Roughly, he grabbed her thighs, yanking her to the edge and hooking them over his arms all in the same motion. Without delay, he shoved his rock-hard shaft back inside her, grinding against her mound when he was buried to the hilt.

  “Much as I like watching your ass, I want to see your face the first time you come on my cock.” Abruptly, he stopped, fully impaled and rubbed his thumbs over her mound. “Soft,” he stated. “I never fucked a bare pussy before. It’s hot.” He stroked her quickly. “I like seeing your clit twitch above my cock. I’m going to love licking you.” He gave a few steady thrusts. “So tell me, is your hair natural?”

  “What?” Tori was confused by his question and tried, unsuccessfully to move against him. When he kept her still she almost growled.

  “Easy, tiger. Answer me.”

  “Guy!” She clutched at his arms.

  “Yes or no? Tell me or I won’t let you come.”
