Fated (17 page)

Caden
watched me as if he expected his words to shatter me. He couldn't know that as
much as I had been sexually awakened, my emotions were still under full
control. I would never take this plunge if I thought I was in danger of getting
my emotions involved. Falling in love wasn't an option. I wasn't even sure I
was capable of that human frailty. It was something I had never experienced.
But the desire that was now pumping through my veins made me feel more alive
than I had in a long time.

"I
don't expect anything more than pleasure. I don't
want
anything more than pleasure."

I
saw a flicker in his eyes, but then he smiled slowly, looking so sexy that it
was hard to take a full breath. "Remind me to give Macie a raise. Who knew
that her traipsing off across the ocean could be so beneficial for me?"

I
laughed, surprised that Caden could find humor in the midst of our confessed
desires. It made me want him even more.

"Just
promise me that you won't go chasing me around your desk at work. I don't think
I can take the cliché."

His
eyes gleamed in excitement. I should have paused to discuss what this would do
to our working relationship, but that was the last thing I wanted to think
about.

"I
can't make any promises about that," he said, a corner of his mouth
lifting. "The idea sounds...fascinating. But I can promise you that you
won't want to run anywhere once I'm between your legs."

I
automatically clenched my thighs together against a flood of wetness at his
promise, but my reply was full of bravado. "How about less words and more
action?"

Caden
grinned and I squealed as he stood abruptly and swung me up so that he was
carrying me cradled in his arms. "Don't complain when you can't walk
later."

He
swiftly carried me into a bedroom down the hall from the living room. He nudged
the door open, and I barely had time to register the large bed with a
rust-colored comforter before I was set on top of it. Caden leaned over me, his
eyes glittering as his laughter vanished, replaced with searing desire. My
breath caught when, instead of swooping down for a hard kiss, he gently
smoothed my hair back from my face, the tenderness of the gesture totally
unexpected. It was my undoing as I reached up and pulled his head towards mine,
needing to feel his lips on me.

Caden
obliged and slanted his mouth across mine. He pressed his weight into me and I
reveled in the feel of his hard body on top of mine. I wantonly wrapped my legs
around his waist, pushing my aching cleft against his unyielding erection,
desperate for relief. My skirt pulled up and I whimpered when the rough fabric
of his jeans dug into my wet core that was completely bare since I had never
put my panties back on.

I
wanted to cry out in frustration when Caden broke the kiss and sat up, but it
was immediately swallowed as he started unbuttoning my blouse. His gaze was hot
as he undid them as quickly as possible, as if he hadn't seen me totally naked
just moments before.

When
my blouse was gaping open, he didn't bother taking it off or unhooking my bra.
He simply pulled down the cups of my bra, releasing them from their confines. My
nipples were hard, aching buds, and my imagination of what Caden's hands on
them would be like was no match for reality. I cried out in pleasure when he
twisted them between his fingers, much harder than I had handled them, and
arrows of pure lust shot through my body.

"Suck
them," I moaned, mindless with desire. I was no longer myself. I just
wanted to experience passion with no boundaries.

"What
do you want me to suck?" Caden asked, his voice guttural. His face was
tight with desire, and he seemed to crave my words.

"My
nipples," I said desperately. "Suck my nipples."

His
breathing became noticeably shallow but his words were silky smooth as he
released his grip on my breasts. "Push them up for me, Lauren. Offer them
to me."

I immediately
grabbed my swollen breasts, pulling them up, the erect buds straining towards
Caden. I arched my back, trying to push them closer to him, enticing him to
take them into his mouth. He needed no further invitation as he leaned down,
scraping his teeth against one hard peak. I was lost when his hot mouth closed
over it, suckling so hard that pain mingled with pleasure.

His
tongue laved my nipple, abrading it with his teeth and sucking on it until I
thought I would scream. He then paid the same attention to my other nipple, and
I was soon a panting mess of desire.

Caden's
eyes were glittering as he sat back up. He pushed my blouse back and I arched
so that he could take it completely off. He reached behind me and unhooked my
bra, tossing it aside. His face tightened as he glanced down. My skirt was
bunched around my waist and I was laid completely bare to him. His jeans had a
dark wet spot where I had ground into him, but instead of feeling embarrassed,
it excited me. The answering flare in Caden's eyes told me he felt the same
way.

"Show
me how you touched yourself. Show me how you made yourself come," he
commanded huskily. I reached down and caressed my aching clit as I spread my
legs wider. Caden watched for a few moments before catching my hand in his. I
watched with bated breath as he raised my hand to his face, pushing my fingers
into his mouth as he licked my wetness off them. I had never seen anything so
erotic in my life and I made an audible sound of desire.

"Do
you like me tasting you?" he asked as he lowered my hand, his face harsh
with tension. I nodded shakily, unable to form words. "Do you want my
mouth on your pussy?"

"Yes,"
I rasped, feeling like I was going to scream if I didn't get relief soon.
"Please."

Caden
moved down my body until he was settled in between my legs, his eyes trained on
my face. I couldn't help but notice he was fully dressed while I was naked
except for the skirt bunched around my waist. For some reason, that made me
even more excited.

He
dipped his head and I could feel his breath on me. I was surprised when I felt
him kiss me on the crease of my thigh and I shifted, trying to bring him closer
to where I ached. Caden gripped my hips, preventing me from moving.
"You're not in control anymore. I am."

Those
words should have scared me. There was nothing I craved more than control. But
for once in my life, my lack of control excited me.

Caden
continued teasing me until I thought I couldn't take another second.
"Please, Caden."

"Tell
me what you want."

"I
want your mouth on me. I want you to..." I took a deep breath before
continuing. "I want you to suck my clit and lick my pussy."

He
made a sound deep in his throat before licking languorously up from the bottom
of my cleft until his mouth latched onto my engorged clit, sucking as his
tongue laved up and down it. I cried out as my legs strained, my hips lifting
up desperately to push against his mouth even more. He gripped my hips even
harder to stop me from thrashing, and then one hand let go so that he could
stroke my wet folds.

I
choked out a strained cry when I felt one finger enter me, then two. His mouth
never left my swollen clit as he thrust his fingers in and out of me.

"Caden,
please," I moaned, not even sure what I was asking for. I didn't know if I
was asking him to stop or pleading for him to continue. But I doubted anything
could stop Caden. He was like a man possessed as he buried himself between my
thighs, licking and sucking and thrusting until I thought I couldn't take
anymore. I was sweating and the room was thick with the scent of my arousal and
the sounds of Caden's mouth suckling me and his fingers thrusting into my
wetness.

When
he curled his fingers upward and pressed firmly against the front wall of my
pussy, my entire body clenched as intense pleasure radiated through me. It was
an out of body experience as I heard myself scream, my body shuddering as it
convulsed repeatedly. Caden kept his mouth on me, his fingers continuing to
press into the spot that had made me erupt as his other hand gripped my waist
so that I couldn't escape him.

My
climax continued until I thought I was going to pass out from the overwhelming
sensations. My body was bathed in sweat when I finally shuddered for the last
time, and I collapsed flat against the bed, panting.

Caden
crawled his way back up my body, his eyes glittering with triumph and
satisfaction. His mouth and chin were wet, and I surprised myself by reaching
up and pulling him down to me so that I could kiss him. Tasting myself on Caden
was a heady sensation, and I felt at that moment, I would do anything.

I
gripped the bottom of his shirt and broke the kiss. "You're wearing far
too many clothes," I said breathily.

Caden
grinned as I lifted his shirt, and he obligingly raised his arms so that I
could take it off. I flung it onto the floor and gazed hungrily at his chest. I
smoothed my hands across it, the firm hard flesh that was stretched over
muscle. His skin was hot and I lifted my head to taste him, trailing
open-mouthed kisses on his shoulder down to his nipple. The muscles in his
stomach jumped reflexively, and I gripped the waistband of his jeans. I undid
them quickly, pushing them down along with his underwear. I used my feet to
push them the rest of the way down, although my eyes were on his erection that
was large enough to be intimidating.

"Now
you're the one that's overdressed," Caden said with a half-smile, despite
the burning hunger in his eyes. I arched my back as he reached behind me to
undo the clasp of my skirt and he drew it down, tossing it aside to join his
discarded clothes. He leaned down, pressing light kisses along my collarbone
that seemed at odds with the intensity of our passion. I shivered from the
sensation, amazed that even that light touch could arouse me.

I
ran my hands down his back, reveling in the feel of him. My hands drifted in
between our bodies and Caden took a sharp intake of breath when I wrapped a
hand around his hard length. The skin was soft, belying the steel of it as I
stroked it. He growled when I reached between my legs to lubricate my hand
before returning to his shaft. His face was tight and I could see muscles
straining in his arms as held himself above me.

I
wanted to please him as much as he had pleased me, so I made a move to lower
myself but he stopped me with a firm grip.

"Not
now," he muttered. "Later. Right now all I can think about is sinking
myself deep inside you."

My
pulse quickened erratically at his words. I barely paid attention as he left me
momentarily to rummage through the drawer of his bedside table. I watched as he
ripped open the package and unrolled a condom onto his erection.

I
gave a sigh of satisfaction when he settled back in between my legs, the head
of his length nudging against my swollen folds. He gripped my waist, raising it
so that he could enter me. I gasped when he started pushing inside of me. It
had been a long time and my body clenched around the head spasmodically, unused
to the thick unyielding pressure.

Caden's
jaw was clenched as he struggled to go slowly. "Am I hurting you?" he
bit out.

I
shook my head. My hunger for him to be inside me superseded any discomfort or
pain I may have been feeling. "No, I'm okay." I bucked my hips up to
prove my point and gasped when he sank deeper into me. He groaned as he pushed
his hips forward, almost as if he couldn't control himself as he plunged
further. He stopped his progress, looking down at me with an expression I
didn't understand.

"Let
me determine the pace," he gritted out between his clenched teeth.
"Otherwise I'm going to lose control and hurt you."

"I
can't help it," I whispered, not being able to control the words that fell
from my lips and not caring. "I want you too badly. I don't care what you
do to me. Just fuck me."

Caden
groaned and he jerked his hips forward until he sank his entire length into me.
I felt like I was splitting in two, but I wrapped my legs around his waist,
breathing harshly as my body acclimated to the invasion.

He
leaned down and kissed me fiercely, and soon all I felt was pleasure and the
need to have him move inside me. I bucked my hips, urging him to action. Caden
needed no further invitation and drew himself out almost fully before slamming
into me again. I cried out mindlessly, lost in a rush of sensations.

He
had a feral look on his face as he repeatedly pulled out and plunged into me
until I was meeting his thrusts.

"Lauren,"
he bit out, although he said nothing afterwards. He was just invoking my name
as if that said everything he needed.

Soon,
his paced thrusts came faster and faster, until he was slamming so hard into me
that all I could do was close my eyes and clutch the headboard, the pleasure so
acute I felt like I couldn't take anymore.

The
room was filled with the sounds of our grunts and moans and our bodies coming
together feverishly. Sweat bathed our bodies as we strained towards each other,
each thrust bringing us both closer to the edge.

I
cried out when Caden started stroking my clit with each plunge, and I felt
myself pushed to the crest of the wave.
