Fireworks: A Holiday Bad Boy Romance (25 page)

I half expected him to talk me through the
sex, to whisper naughty words or dark encouragements, but he didn't. He seemed
too lost to fucking me slow and deep until I was tremoring beneath him. I'd
never been taken care of so well, and I hadn't expected it from him. I imagined
a hard, fast fuck, but that's not at all what he was up to.

He reached down and gripped my shoulder,
tugging me up just a little as he pumped into me again. "I can feel you
getting close. Let go."

"I'm trying." I let out a slow
sigh and bounced against him, not worried about what he might think with me
taking over our sex.

He leaned down, hovering over the top of
me as he pressed his chest to back.

I groaned and undulated my hips as his
fingers sunk into the wet mess between my legs. I jerked forward, needing him
to work me fast and hard to bring myself over the cliff.

"There you go, Cora. Take what you
need." He pressed sensual kisses all over my back as I gripped the sheets
and rammed backward to use him for my pleasure.

He chuckled and moved back up to his knees
as I dropped back down on the bed. "You're incredible. You know
that."

"Mmmm," I mumbled and pressed
back on him again.

"My turn." He gripped my ass
hard, lighting up my pleasure points all over again before ramming into me in a
quick, hard fashion that left me panting loudly. I reached between my legs and
played with his sack as he continued to fuck me.

His breath caught in his chest, and he
pulled me back to meet his strokes, but it was only a few more times before he
groaned and worked himself through a long orgasm.

I dropped down on the bed and he pressed
himself to my back as we panted softly together.

"Incredible. Everything I imagined
you to be and then some." He kissed the back of my neck a few times.
"I'm going to clean up and open the window so we can just watch the show
from here. Is that okay?"

"Perfect," I muttered against
the sheet.

He got up, and I laid there for a few more
minutes, unable to move due to the delicious pulsing throb that raced down my
back and pooled between my thighs.

I finally rolled onto my side and tugged
the covers up as a yawn left me.

"Tired, baby?" He walked back in
the room with a towel around his waist, looking like the sin that he was.

"Yeah, a little. That was
incredible." I watched as he tugged the towel off and walked to the window
to open it. He turned the lights off and crawled into the bed beside me,
curling up to my back and nestling his semi-hard arousal between my legs.

"Is it bad that I want more of you
already?" He lifted up to an elbow and used his free hand to caress my hip
and softly massage my breast.

"No. I feel the same." I
squeezed my thighs around his cock and pulled forward a little, teasing him as
he groaned.

"I'm an all-night kind of guy, so
watch it." He chuckled and leaned forward kissing the side of my neck as I
snuggled against him.

"Finally...one that can do it,
instead of just talk about it." We laughed as he dropped back down beside
me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Can I stay for the night?" His
voice was low and deep, but the slight sense of neediness I found in it left me
with the notion that maybe he wasn't the playboy we all teased him for being.

"Please?" I shifted my hips and
pressed back, reveling in how good his skin felt against mine as he filled me
up once again. I was going to keep up, not matter what was required of me.

Chapter 26

Brody

The night before had been nothing less
than amazing. After making love to Cora twice more, we finally fell asleep
wrapped up in each other's arms. I couldn't remember ever sleeping beside
someone I'd had sex with. It was...incredible. Scary.

She was sleeping soundly when I woke up
the next morning, her chestnut hair a mess and draped across her pretty face,
her lips swollen and one breast peeking out from under the covers as if calling
to me like a siren.

I forced myself to lay there and enjoy how
beautiful the soft curve of her cheek, her button nose, her long eyelashes
were. She was exquisite, and though it hadn't been nearly long enough to think
about a future together, I couldn't help but letting myself dream a little. We
could date after the summer was over. I'd stay in Arizona and forgo the job
with my uncle. I could find something here. If things worked out and we fell in
love, then we would figure things out together.

She wasn't the brainless, needy type of
chick I usually took to bed with me, but more the kind of woman I could partner
with. One that I could respect. I brushed her hair from her face as she made a
cute little mewling noise and moved closer to me.

I turned on my side and pulled her against
me, kissing the side of her face and wrapping my arms around her. She looked
good pressed to the front of me—and felt even better.

"Hey." A knock at the door
caused me to stiffen, but Cora didn't move. The door opened, and I gave Emily a
cheeky grin as she stuck her head in and yelped. "Oh, fuck. I'm so
sorry."

"It's all good," I whispered.
"She's still asleep, though."

"Yeah, she sleeps like the dead.
We're going to grab groceries for breakfast. We'll be back." She was
behind the door, talking around it, which was too cute. These girls had turned
out to be a treat for all of us over the last few weeks, no matter how many
times I'd given the guys hell over them.

A feeling of gratefulness washed over me
as I dropped back down beside Cora.

"I don't sleep like the dead."
She blinked a few times and reached over, brushing her hand down my stomach and
stroking me once.

My chest tightened as pleasure ran through
me. I'd never known a girl like her. She seemed completely unashamed of her
actions. I loved it.

"I'm thinking you do. I made love to
you ten times last night while you were sleeping." I kissed the tip of her
nose and rolled over on top of her, nestling myself between her thighs over the
sheet.

"I was wondering why I was so sore. I
mean, you're big, but you're not
that
big." She smiled as I lifted my eyebrow at her. The little tart was
teasing me.

"Alright, then. I'll make sure to get
you good the next time we fuck. I'll leave you nice and sore." I leaned
down and brushed my lips by hers. Being with a woman in the morning light was
something new for me, and where I wasn't sure I would enjoy it with anyone
else, I was thrilled to have Cora beneath me.

"How about now?" She wrapped her
legs around me and chuckled as I gave her an incredulous look.

"You're insatiable." I kissed
her again before getting up and finding the towel I had on the floor. I wrapped
it around my waist and offered her a hand. "Come on. Let's take a quick
shower and let me wash you up. I want to get my hands on you again, and it
seems like this might be a good way to do it."

"I'm not sure after last night that
I'd be able to deny you no matter what ploy you came up with." She got up
and let the sheet fall, leaving my heart hammering in my chest. Every part of
her looked inviting, and though I'd seen far too many woman naked, having her
in front of me, completely bare, felt like something to treasure. I was in
trouble, and it would seem that for the first time in my tainted life, I was
falling for someone. For her.

 
"I'm liking this new attitude, though the
old one was hot, too." I reached for her and pulled her against me,
kissing her a few times before pulling back and gripping her hand.
"Shower, and then let's go out on the boat and find some place to drop the
anchor where we can lay around together for most of the day."

"That sounds perfect." She
walked past me into the hall and made a sharp right turn. "Morning,
Dedra."

"Hey, girl. How was-” Dedra's eyes
widened as I walked out of the room and smirked.

"How was what?" I asked, putting
my hands on my hips as her eyes ran down the length of me. I was quite grateful
for the towel.

"How were the fireworks?" She
laughed and walked past me as Cora stuck her head back out of the open bathroom
door and smiled.

"Come on. It's freezing." She
disappeared into the bathroom and I walked in.

My thoughts faded fast as Cora leaned over
and started the water. I reached out and caressed her ass, teasing her a little
as she jerked up and glanced over her shoulder.

"We only get thirty minutes in here,
so no sex. It's house rules." She got into the shower, and I pulled the
towel off my hips before joining her.

"I'm a rule breaker. Does that mean I
get sex?" I asked, reaching for the soap and lathering it up in my hands
as she moved under the spray of the water. She lifted her hands to run her
fingers through her hair, which jutted her heavy breasts out toward me.

I reached out and took my time bathing
each of them before moving down her stomach to the junction between her thighs.

She moaned as I slid my fingers against
her swollen flesh, and I couldn't help but move in and press my mouth to the
side of her neck. "God, you're fucking hot, Cora."

"You think so?" She kissed me
once before turning around and putting her back to me. I took my time washing
her back and taking special care to tease her ass while she pressed her hands
to the wall above her and groaned for me.

I pressed my teeth to the thick curve of
her ass and slipped a finger deep inside of her, half expecting her to tell me
to cut it out, but she didn't. Her body tightened as she took advantage of my
offering and bounced on it, giving me a beautiful view of her ass.

If I wasn't falling in love, I would be soon.
Love and lust were too intertwined for me to understand the difference, and for
the moment, with the sounds of her cries filling up the shower, I didn't give a
shit which I was. I wasn't going anywhere.

She sagged against the wall, and I pulled
my fingers from her and stood up, grabbing for the soap and working it over my
chest and rock-hard erection. I wanted to bend her over and finish the morning
off right, but I knew the night would give us plenty more chances to explore
each other. We needed time on the lake. Time to talk and figure each other out
a little more.

She smiled as she turned and reached for
the soap. "Don't tell anyone that I'm as much of a whore as you are."

"You are?" I lifted my eyebrow.
"No, I don't believe that for a minute."

She ran her soapy hands over my chest and
scratched softly, melting me as she moved down to stroke my dick with both
hands. I turned and pressed my back to the cold wall, feeling like my legs
might give out underneath me any minute.

"I am, but only with the right
man." She turned the spray onto me and rinsed me off before moving to her
knees.

"Cora, you don't have to-”

"Hush. I've wanted to since the day
we met." She smirked and leaned forward, taking me deep inside her warm,
wet mouth. Every part of me lit on fire for the girl before me. I was in deep
shit, and for the first time in my life, I didn't want to find a way out of it.

*

"So, I know you don't want to talk
about this, but tell me about Brandon. I wanna know what happened." I
leaned over the boat and let one of the anchors go. It raced toward the water
and disappeared, locking us in place in a sleepy-looking alcove off the side of
the main lake.

We'd taken a breakfast taco to go from
Cindy and packed up a few sodas for a long boat ride together, just the two of
us.

She tugged her t-shirt off and then worked
on her shorts as she ignored my question. Her white bikini looked delicious on
her, and though I'd had her more times than I should have over the last twelve
hours, I found myself hungry for more.

Incredible.

"We were friends for a while, and
then we decided we would try dating." She moved to the front of the boat.
"I'm really more like you than you might think. I really didn't want to be
with one person during college, and I wasn't during high school, either. I
didn't sleep around much, but the idea of being tied down to one person was
stifling. If something happened to that guy...then what?"

"Yeah, I get that." I stood up
and pulled my shirt off before moving to sit down on the front of the boat and
turning sideways. I offered her a hand as she crawled up there with me and lay
down, putting her head in my lap.

I leaned back and ran my fingers through
her hair as she continued.

"But Brandon wouldn't give up. He
wanted a relationship, and we had some pretty great chemistry between us."
She closed her eyes and let out a soft sigh.

I stiffened as jealousy raged through me.
I didn't want her having chemistry with anyone but me. Even with it being in
the past, I still felt tense over it.

"And, he slept around, why? You have
to be every sane man's wet dream." I brushed my fingers by her cheek as
she glanced up and gave me a warm smile. Her brown eyes were rimmed with unshed
tears, and my gut constricted painfully. "Hey. We don't have to talk about
this. The last thing I want is for you to feel pain of any kind."

She turned her face and kissed my palm a
few times as my cock hardened in my shorts. I had no doubt she was going to
tease me over it seeing that her pillow had become less than comfortable, but
she didn't.

"It's alright." She turned her
face a little and kissed my erection over my shorts, causing a groan to rip
from my lips. She sat up and ran her hands through her hair. "It was over
after I found him with the girl. She was pretty and probably far more his
style. I just hate that she was a cheerleader. Perfect. Blonde. Popular. Just
like him."

"A cheerleader at Arizona
State?" I moved up beside her and wrapped my arms around her.

"Yeah. Tinsley Myers. Stupid
bitch." She turned as I stiffened. "Oh great. You know her? You
totally slept with her, didn't you?"

I didn't have a voice for a few minutes.
There was no way in hell it was Tinsley that slept with Cora's ex. She was a
virgin. A good girl. Or maybe... I stood up and started to pace the boat.

"You have to fucking be kidding
me." I glanced over at Cora. "Are you sure it was Tinsely?"

"I'm quite positive. I walked in on
her getting it in the ass." Her expression hardened as my stomach grew
sick. "Brody. Did you sleep with her, too?"

"What? Fuck, no." I ran my
fingers through my hair and let out a long sigh. "Shit, Cora. She's my
baby sister."
