Fighting the Inevitable (3 page)

He chuckled low in his
chest and kept a hold of her hand as he tugged her towards his
front door. “I do lots of things fast,” he laughed, his amber eyes
twinkling suggestively. “I also do lots of things slow too.” His
voice had dropped to an intimate level as he opened the door and
pulled her inside.

“
Oh, wow,”
Rhianna said softly, taking in the large open hallway with
beautiful white tiles on the floor. The entranceway was the full
height of the building, a huge, ornate chandelier hanging from a
dark wood beam just below an impressive glass skylight.

Caleb watched the little
redhead’s face light with pleasure as her eyes ran slowly over the
hallway. He smiled as he watched her, feeling strangely pleased
that she liked his home. In all truthfulness, coming home didn’t
have the same effect on him. Oh, he felt as if he was coming home
but he didn’t notice the beauty of it as he once had.

He tugged her hand and
pulled her into the sitting room, which harked back to a
more gothic time. The room was full of thick furnishings and
dark woods, the fireplace open and blazing.

He wasn’t quite sure
where he wanted to indulge in her beautiful body. It was always
nice to have a soft bed beneath him, but he found himself reluctant
to take the girl to one of the cold, empty bedrooms he usually used
when he brought his women home.

He had no intention of
allowing her into his own bed. No woman entered his private place,
but he did want something slightly more intimate than usual with
the little beauty beside him. When they’d spoken in the nightclub
he had caught a hint of deep sadness about her before she’d quickly
forced it away. He didn’t know why she was so sad and hiding it,
and to be truthful, he didn’t particularly want to know. He didn’t
do
‘relationships’
and wasn’t about to get emotionally
involved with a woman. He just wanted to enjoy her body and take
them both to heaven and back.

Caleb settled on tugging
her towards the fire, pulling her down onto the thick brown rug
before it. She came hesitantly, a hint of doubt in her eyes as if
she was reconsidering her actions.

He smiled slowly and his
eyes glinted as she knelt before him. There would be no backing out
for her tonight. He would have her, and she would enjoy every
single moment of it. She was the first woman he’d truly wanted for
months now. He wasn’t letting her slip through his fingers when
need was ravaging through his body so viciously.

“
Caleb,” she
started to say hesitantly, but he stopped her by placing his right
index finger to her lips.

“
Don’t
think,” he whispered softly. “Just feel.”

He trailed his finger
from her mouth down to the side of her neck, pausing at her
throbbing pulse, and closing his eyes to enjoy the steady beat
against his skin. Her pulse was strong and vital, so full of life
and the delicious sweet blood his body hungered for. It was all he
could do not to lean forward, sink his fangs into her neck, and
feed deeply from her.

His cock strained hard
against the confining leather of his pants, and he was filled with
a need to see her totally naked. “Stand up and take your dress
off,” he whispered silkily, his tone both gentle and commanding at
the same time. She stiffened slightly as if to deny him his
request, and then she stood up and slowly peeled her dress from her
slender frame.

Caleb’s breath hitched in
his throat as he watched the material pool at her feet, his greedy
gaze sliding over her soft skin. Her breasts were perfection, their
tips already reacting to the cool air around them. There wasn’t a
blemish on her creamy white skin. It looked pale and silky soft and
crying out for his touch.

He wanted to do such
deliciously wicked things to her body. He wanted to drive her
mindless with pleasure until she writhed and screamed her ecstasy.
He just wasn’t sure where he wanted to start first. His gaze slid
down to her gently rounded hips and to the scrap of purple lace
between her legs. “Take them off,” he said huskily, his voice deep
and gravelled, as his lust escalated higher than it had in a very
long time.

She hooked her fingers in
the waistband of her panties and soon they joined her dress at her
feet and he got his first glimpse and smell of her enticing
womanhood. Caleb’s eyes darkened to almost black as he stared at
the feminine perfection before him. He had a perfect view of her
slick folds already wet with her arousal, her musky aroma teasing
him delicately.

He leaned closer, but
didn’t touch her. Instead, he inhaled deeply and let the sweet
scent of jasmine and lavender and the heady mix of her arousal
sweep over him. She smelled just as good as she looked, and he knew
she would taste even better.

He reached out and tapped
the back of her right knee, gently forcing her to lift her leg so
he could slide her dress and panties from her foot. He did the same
with her left knee and moved back to fold her clothes neatly and
place them on the sofa closest to them.

Caleb looked at her heels
and decided to leave them on. Depending on how lost he became in
her body she may need the additional height the heels gave her
later on. In addition, they looked sexy as hell on her. She was
shivering slightly as he continued to just gaze at her perfect
body, and he smiled again and raised his eyes to hers.

“
If you want
me to undress, you need to persuade me to do so,” he said huskily,
delighting in the confusion that crossed her beautiful face. Loving
a woman was a true art form, and Caleb liked to discover what a
woman really wanted from him. At the moment, he was being slightly
dominant with her, but not overly so. Not whips and chains type of
domination, more a subtle, mental kind.

“
It’s very
easy to get my clothes off, Rhianna,” he smiled gently at her.
“Just spread your beautiful legs and open yourself up so I can get
a proper look at what you have to offer.”

It was endearing the way
her cheeks blushed scarlet and his smile widened at the heated
blood flowing through her. He could tell she liked what he was
doing even if she didn’t want to like it. Her innocent shyness was
warring with her arousal, which was deepening by the moment from
the wonderful bouquet of aromas coming from between her
legs.

Rhianna stood before the
kneeling man and slowly opened her legs wider, her hands hesitantly
moving over her flat stomach. She couldn’t believe she was actually
doing this, but the heated look of total worship in Caleb’s eyes
was making her so hot and wet she couldn’t seem to stop herself.
She used two fingers to tease herself open to his greedy gaze as he
slowly raised his hands to his shirt and began to unbutton the silk
material.

“
Very good,”
he sighed with pleasure, and inhaled deeply again.

He could feel the heat
coming from her body; see the moisture gathering across her pink
flesh. For a moment, Caleb was concerned at her size. He was well
endowed, and much larger women than Rhianna had had trouble taking
his size and girth. He could hurt her if he tried to take her too
soon, and he didn’t want to do that. He’d need to be very careful
with her, ensure that she only experienced pleasure when they
finally came together.

He peeled his shirt from
his body and smiled when she moaned at the sight of his lightly
haired chest. He knew he had a body to make women swoon, hell he
did it regularly; however, it was always gratifying to hear a
woman’s moan at the first sight of his well-muscled
physique.

“
Show me how
you pleasure yourself,” he ordered quietly. “Climax for me and I’ll
take off the rest of my clothes.”

Rhianna bit her lip at
his demand, her cheeks flushing scarlet even as she found herself
instantly obeying him. She wanted, no, she needed to see him
completely naked. She moaned and closed her eyes, lightly stroking
her body, her hips moving at the brief caress. She breathed in
deeply and stroked again, moaning louder as a jolt of pleasure
spiralled through her body.

She could hear Caleb’s
breathing quicken, and she began to move faster, a feeling of power
coming over her, as she knew her actions were making him hornier
than he already was. She wanted him to feel as hot as she did
standing before him in nothing more than her sandals, touching
herself.

Caleb groaned and quickly
snapped open his leather pants, his eyes never leaving the little
hand stroking against her sex. Her breathing was coming in little
pants as her hips bucked into her hand and she soared higher and
higher towards her orgasm. He tugged his boots off and peeled the
leather from his body, a sigh of relief escaping him as his
enormous cock sprung free.

Rhianna was almost at her
release judging from her sharp cries and the frantic movement of
her fingers. He decided to help her over the edge and leaned
forward just enough so he could slide his tongue against her flesh
and get his first taste of her sweet honey.

She screamed and
shuddered wildly as she came hard at the first touch of his tongue
inside her. His mouth filled with the sweet taste of her release
and he licked greedily at her nectar, his large hands spanning her
waist to keep her from falling as her knees buckled.

He held her firmly as she
shook, his mouth ravishing her body, his lust spiralling as she
filled his mouth with her heavenly taste. Fuck, she tasted even
better than he’d imagined she would. He couldn’t remember a time
when a woman’s pleasure had felt so satisfying.

“
You taste
divine,” he complimented her, watching a blush steal across her
face. “I want some more.”

His lips curved in a
satisfied smile as he watched her with intent eyes. Her mix of
innocence liberally sprinkled with hot, spicy lust was incredibly
erotic, and he felt his body throb painfully with appreciation.
This beautiful woman was delightful and he was going to enjoy every
inch of her sexy body before the night was over.

Rhianna tried not to
scream out aloud when he put his mouth to her most intimate place
again. She couldn’t hold back the cry or stop her fingers from
threading in his thick hair to hold him in place, even though she
was still trembling from her first release.

He devoured her, licking
and nibbling, teasing her heated flesh with light flicks of his
tongue before diving in for a deeper taste of her juices. She felt
tension coil in her stomach, her breath catching in her throat an
instant before she did scream loudly, her body shaking with the
violence of her climax.

Caleb kept licking at
her, her sweet taste intoxicating as she shuddered from her
pleasure. Her release was like an aphrodisiac and he sipped at her
body greedily until she slowly calmed. He had known she would taste
heavenly and she did, so much so he wanted more, but knew he had to
give her some respite. Perhaps tomorrow morning before she left, he
could taste her once more.

He had never wanted to
indulge a second time with a woman before, but something about this
particular woman had him thinking of a second time and possibly
even a third. It was something he would need to examine more
carefully later. For the moment, he was aching with need for her
and all his senses where attuned to that feeling.

He allowed her to sink to
her knees before him, running his hands lightly up to cup her
luscious breasts and squeeze gently. His thumbs played with the
hard peaks as he watched her pupils dilate with pleasure, her
breath rasping out in little pants.

Caleb’s own breath was
becoming ragged as lust clawed at him. Her scent swirled around
him, heady and intoxicating, the pounding pulse in the side of her
neck making his mouth water. He was so close to losing all control
that he was startled at how badly she affected him. He was
hard-pressed to remember a time when a woman had enticed him so
badly.

“
How did you
like the appetiser?” he laughed softly, Demetri’s words coming back
to him from before. He liked to indulge himself just as much as his
friend did, only he sampled from the same table, in this case, the
stunning redhead before him.

Rhianna stared up at him,
her body still coming down from the incredible pleasure he’d just
given her. She flushed scarlet at his words and the lazy way his
eyes roamed over her as if she belonged completely to
him.

“
You
seriously didn’t think we were finished, did you, Rhianna?” he
laughed softly. “Your body is quite slender, and I am a large man.
You need careful preparation before I can slide inside your
beautiful little body.”

Her gaze automatically
slid down his body to his thighs and she gasped out loud when she
saw his cock resting proudly against her thigh. He chuckled at her
startled expression and stroked her cheek again.

“
Yes, it is
rather a monster, isn’t it,” he smiled proudly, his amber eyes
twinkling as he drew her gaze back to his. He rolled over her,
positioning himself between her legs, and pressing his throbbing
cock against her stomach. His hair fell forward framing her face
like a curtain as he lowered his mouth and kissed her for the first
time.

Her lips were as
intoxicating as the rest of her, his tongue seeking entrance into
her mouth to dance seductively against hers. Was there any part of
this woman that didn’t send him wild with need? So far, he had yet
to find it.
