Blessed Fate (17 page)

She hung up the phone and walked outside as if nothing had happened. Apparently, it was time for our first official fight as a couple. "So, now you're making decisions for me without giving me a say in them?" I stormed over to her, resisting the urge to literally shake some sense into her. I had never touched a woman in anger in the past, and I wasn't about to start, but that was the first time I fully understood the phrase.

"Jon was just being a bitchy little punk. You and I both know the world's not going to end if I go with you but, as usual, you're so worried about him being mad at you that nothing else matters." I should have shut my damn mouth, but I was on a roll now. "Do you really want to be with me, or were you just saying that to get him off your back too?"

She practically flew off the chaise lounge, not stopping until she was toe to toe with me, poking me in the chest. "There are a lot of things I'll do to make Jon Meyers happy. Being with you isn't one of them, and honestly, it hurts like hell you'd even think that."

"Well, what am I supposed to think? You wouldn't give me a chance as anything more than a friend until Jon told you that we needed to talk our shit out. Now, you're telling me that I can't be there to support the woman I love when she's trying to face her past because it's going to upset him. Tell me, what would you think if it was you?"
Fuck, didn't mean for it to come out that way. Way to blow that happy memory, dipshit.

"What did you just say to me?" She looked at me as if I had just slapped her in the face. There was no doubt it was too soon for saying those three little words out loud, but it was something I had known for a hell of a long time and kept it to myself. While I regretted the fact that I said them in anger, I didn't regret letting her know how I felt.

"Yes, Rain, you heard me right. I fucking love you. I've felt that way for a long time and couldn't do anything about it because you always made it so clear you'd never get involved with anyone in the band." I brushed the backs of my fingers gently across her cheek. "I know we haven't even had a chance to start our relationship, but you might as well know where my head is at. There's no question of if we'll work out. I know damn well that we will if you'll just let us."

The sun was creeping into the sky on the horizon. I knew there wasn't much time before I was going to have to say goodbye to Rain, and I wasn't going to let her leave without making love to her at least once. She must have had the same idea I had because she finally stopped trying to find reasons why we couldn't work things out and pressed her body against mine.

My cock pressed hard against my zipper when she grabbed my long hair in her hands and yanked me closer to her, her tongue pressing between my lips into my mouth. We had spent more than our fair share of time kissing in the past few days, but this was different. This was deep and hot, filled with promise of what was to come.

Her hips started grinding against me, and I was afraid I was going to come in my pants like a high school freshman. "Not here." I lifted her into my arms and made my way inside. "Let's go to bed."

She looked like an angel lying on a bed of clouds when I set her down in the middle of the king size bed in the master bedroom. When she moved to the edge of the bed, reaching for the button on my jeans, I pressed her shoulders back to the mattress. "Relax, baby. Tonight's about you."

I slid my hands beneath Rain's tank top, allowing the fabric to bunch along my arms before reaching around to lift her off the mattress just enough to pull the shirt over her head. My fingers dipped into the edge of her black lace bra as I teased her already pebbled nipples.

The heat coming from between her long legs told me how ready she was for me. I reached down and slowly slid her jeans down her hips, savoring the feel of her smooth skin under my callused hands.

"Never took you for a foot man," she sighed as I began massaging her calf as I gently kissed her foot. It wasn't that I had some sort of foot fetish; I just needed to put a little space between us if there was any hope of making this night memorable. The tension had been building since our very first kiss, and I was afraid I would explode if I felt her need.

By the time I finished massaging and kissing my way up her left leg, I could feel the heat from her pussy on my face. She was so wet I could taste her as I kissed her thigh, but I held back from turning my head ever so slightly and pulling her panties to the side to have a better taste of her. I retreated from the bed and began paying the same attention to her right leg.

"Colton, please..." she begged, writhing on the bed, her fists balled into the down comforter.

"Patience, baby," I laughed as I kissed and sucked a tender spot on the back of her knee. My cock throbbed, ready to plunge deep inside of her but I still held back. This wasn't just another fuck, this was hopefully the last time I made love to a woman for the first time and I wanted to savor every second of it.

Rain obviously had other plans, which she expressed by fisting her hands in my hair and pulling my head away from her body. "I'm not asking you nicely again. If you don't get up here, I'm coming down there, and I
will
get what I want."

Fuck, if I had known I was going to get that type of reaction, I would have tied her up so I could tease her even more.

"Will you always be this bossy and demanding?" I pressed my arms into the mattress on either side of her head, kissing her deeply. "Because I think I like it."

I ground my bare cock against her damp lace, trailing kisses down her neck as she moaned, begging me to fuck her. I shook my head as I lightly bit her dark pink nipple, needing to see how close to the edge I could get her before finally giving her what she wanted.

"I think you forgot something," she panted, reaching down to take off her panties. I wanted to see her dripping pussy more than anything, but she was far too anxious. I grabbed both of her delicate hands and pulled them over her head, pinning them to the mattress with one of my own before returning my attention to her perfect breasts. Her body deserved worshipping and loving, not fucking without a second thought.

"I need you," she moaned. "Please, Colton!"

I ran my hand down the silky skin of her stomach to the waistband of her panties. I could feel the wet heat coming off her as the tips of my fingers neared her swollen bud but I still wasn't prepared to give in to her pleading.

"So help me, Colton..." My lips crushed against her, silencing the threats waiting to escape them. This wasn't what I'd originally intended, but I couldn't deny it was making me even harder. Seeing her beg me to take her over the edge of her climax, watching sweat bead on her beautiful face as the need overcame her was one of the hottest things I had experienced.

I pulled back, brushing the hair away from her face. "Did you want something?" My pace slowed, giving her time to come back from the brink of orgasm.

"Fuck you!"

"Tsk, tsk, such an impatient girl," I scolded. If we'd had more time, I would have continued teasing her until she broke, but I knew tonight wasn't the night for that. I slid my body off hers, my free hand dipping beneath the waist of her panties, finally sliding them away from her body.

She was so wet my aching cock nearly slipped inside her wet heat as I ground my hips against her. She bucked from the bed as the head brushed across her throbbing clit. As bad as I wanted her, I was determined to make her come at least once before ever claiming her body as my own.

Her eyes rolled back as her body arched, and she screamed my name as her body exploded with her first orgasm of the night. I could smell the musky scent of her juices and knew I needed to taste her. I reached down thrusting two fingers inside. Her inner-walls clenched at my fingers, pulsing, wanting more.

"I think you're ready now." When I pulled my fingers from her depths, I drew one into my mouth and offered the other one to her. "See how sweet you are? Fucking amazing." I nearly came apart as she sucked and licked my finger clean of her own essence.

I grabbed a condom from beside the bed, watching her bite her lower lip as I rolled it from the tip to the base of my erection.

"There's no turning back, you're sure about this?" I needed to make sure she wasn't having second thoughts. She had spent so long fighting me on this, I would have rather lived with knowing how close I'd come than deal with seeing regret in her eyes every day.

"Yes, dammit!" She thrust her hips up, forcing my cock deep inside of her.

"Jesus, woman! Are you trying to kill me?" I took a deep breath, trying to remain still. She was so tight and wet; I knew I wasn't going to last long.

Once I had a slightly better hold on myself, I withdrew so only the head of my cock remained inside of her. I leaned down, gently kissing her. The rhythm of our tongues matching the motion of me slowly burying myself, grinding my hips against hers, applying pressure to her tender clit, bringing her to a second orgasm, this one only slightly less potent.

The walls of her pussy clenching and throbbing around me brought me close to the edge. She reached between us, sliding her fingers over my slick shaft as I thrust into her body. Moments before I was going to explode, I felt her hand travel further, cupping my tight balls in her hand, grazing the tender skin behind them with her finger nails, and I lost it.

I rolled off her, pulling her close to my body. We lay there in the early morning light still panting in the afterglow. I rolled over to kiss her one last time before we both passed out. "I told you...epic."

"Epic," she mumbled, nodding in agreement. "When I get back, I really hope you won't try that slow, teasing shit again."

I couldn't help but laugh. Most women complained about the lack of foreplay, but foreplay drove my woman crazy, and not necessarily in a good way. "Oh, trust me; I'll make sure it's worth it for you."

She curled deeper against my chest and was asleep within minutes. I stayed awake until I could no longer keep my eyes open, still trying to remind myself that this wasn't a dream.

Sunlight flooded the master bedroom, pulling me out of the best sleep I'd had since we had gone on tour. I rolled over to wake Rain, so I could take her to the airport and felt nothing but cold cotton under my hand. Looking at my phone, I realized she was long gone since it was nearly eleven in the morning.

I stumbled down the stairs, trying to shake the foul mood setting in. While it was great to sleep, I wished she had asked me to take her to the airport if I wasn't going to be able to go home with her. I smiled when I heard the coffee pot starting to brew, realizing that, even in her absence, Rain was trying to take care of me. As I grabbed a mug from the cupboard, I noticed a note on the counter.

Morning sunshine,

You were so cute when you were sleeping, I couldn't bring myself to wake you.

Please don't be mad that you're here, and I'm there. It's just a few days, and then I'll be back. You'll probably get sick of me texting you all the time.

And for what it's worth, you were right, and I was wrong. Last night was definitely one for the record books, and I can't wait until I get back so I can properly thank you.

Kisses.

When I had picked up the note from the granite counter top, there was part of my mind that wondered if it was going to be a Dear John letter. I had no logical reason to feel that way, but thanks to her very vocal reservations about us, I felt like I was waiting for her to change her mind. Seeing her words reassured me that we were on the right path and I wasn't wrong thinking we were meant to be.

After last night, I knew that regardless of what she was feeling, she was the one. That meant I had some work to do. I scrolled through my phone to find Tony's phone number. Like Rain, he was the only person I wholly trusted when it came to tattoos or piercings, but he was at the opposite end of the country, and I didn't want to wait. I hoped he had connections down here, someone he could refer me to that wouldn't screw this up. More than any other piercing I'd had done,
this
had to be done by someone at the top of their game.
