House of Paine - (A Romantic Suspense - Book 2) (7 page)

“Damien?” It was a long moment before his pretty blue eyes finally left the spot he’d been staring at on the wall and slowly moved to Paige’s face. Like Crystal he looked like he was in shock. Paige went over to him and said, “What is it? What happened?” Damien focused on her face and after another long silence he said,

“My whole life has been a lie. All of it.”

“I don’t understand...”

“I need to get out of here. I need some air...” He jumped up from the chair. The letter he was holding fell to the floor. Paige bent to pick it up and he said, “No! Leave it.” He grabbed her hand and took her with him through the house and out the back door. Paige had no idea what was going on with him...but she was smart enough to know that what he didn’t need right now was pressure. She quietly followed him as he found the jogging path and began walking the same route Paige had taken earlier today. That had been merely hours ago...but now it seemed like days or weeks had passed since she’d taken that jog.

Paige looked up at the sky, it was just past dusk and the stars were just beginning to come out. They looked huge tonight in the absence of the moon. Damien pulled her along as he walked like a man on a mission. She wanted to do something for him but right now it seemed like what he needed was just a brisk walk in the cool night air and silent company. They walked until they came to the bench where Paige rested earlier that morning and received the phone call that her mother was there. Damien dropped down on the bench and pulled her down next to him. The wind was blowing softly and other than the sounds of the crickets chirping and the soft sounds of the ocean that was only a few blocks away, it was a quiet night.

Damien slipped his arm around Paige’s shoulders and pulled her into him. She felt his lips brush against the top of her head and then in a quiet, flat tone he said, “Kevin is my father.”

Paige had her head on his shoulder and couldn’t see his face but she knew there was no way he would joke about a thing like that. No wonder he was so pensive. She didn’t know what to say so she didn’t say anything. She just let him hold her and she continued to sit quietly until he said, “I don’t even know who the fuck I am anymore.”

Paige pulled her head up then and looked at his face. She put a hand on the side of it and looked directly into his eyes as she said, “You are who you have always been. This doesn’t change the man that you are inside.” She wanted to ask questions. She was intensely curious about how this all came about...but she was smart enough to know that this wasn’t the time for that. What he needed right now was her support and he’d earned that.

“I don’t know where to go from here, Paige. All of this time I thought my father was Satan himself. Now I find out that my real father was the one person I’ve always looked up to...and he never had the balls to tell me himself. He couldn’t even do it now. He had his daughter give me a letter my mother wrote. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to deal with this. I’m nothing right now but pissed off at Kevin. All of these years he saw how my “father” treated me. He knew that I wondered about the difference he made between me and Alex. He knew that I was tortured about being the son of Jackson Paine and worried that I was going to be just like him someday...and he never said a word.”

“I wish I knew the right thing to say to make this easier,” she said. “But maybe he thought it was safer for you if you didn’t know.”

“That’s the way my mother put it in the letter. It still pisses me off.”

“You have every right to be pissed off. But at least now you know that you didn’t come from him. It explains why you’re such a good man in spite of where you came from...”

Damien surprised her by standing up off the bench so quickly that he nearly knocked her onto the ground. He walked over next to a tree and looked out over the small man-made pond. Paige stayed where she was. She knew from recent experience that he had to work through things his own way. He stood there for a long time while she sat where she was until he finally turned around and looked at her. He didn’t say a word, but his eyes and his body language were beckoning to her.

She got up and went over to him. He put his arms around her and pulled her in close. He held her like that as he let his lips skim across the side of her face and then taking her by surprise, he spun her around so that her back was against the tree. Then he attacked her lips with his. He kissed her like he was starving. If she didn’t know better she might think he hadn’t been with a woman in years. Paige kissed him back. Something about this man brought out a passion in her that she’d never known existed before.

H
e had her pressed up against the tree. One of his legs was between hers and his arms were on either side of her head as his tongue licked and probed and his sexy lips sucked hers into his hot mouth. Paige put her hands on either side of his hips and pulled him into her. She could feel how hard he was as his erection pressed into her stomach and she felt the hard muscles of his chest pressing into hers, forcing her upper body back against the curve of the tree.   Her nipples were rock hard as their bodies melded into each other and when he moved one of his hands down and started pushing up her blouse, she raised her arms to help him. He pulled off the t-shirt and tossed it out into the grass. Her nipples could be seen even in the dark, pressing hard into the thin fabric of her bra. The tree was scratchy against her back, but she didn’t care, she couldn’t focus on anything other than Damien’s lips and the feel of his body against hers.

He reached inside the cup of her bra and found a nipple as his lips slid down to her neck. He took it between his fingers and twisted and rolled and pulled on it as she moaned softly. She pressed her head back into the tree and moaned. Her pussy was pulsing along with her pounding heart and she began to move her hips, thrusting them forward and grinding herself against the hard bulge trapped inside of his pants.

Damien moved back up to her mouth and let his tongue slowly and softly traces the delicate edges of her lips. His touch had gone from urgent to feather soft and his tongue licked her full lips slowly and deliberately. It was sexy and erotic and Paige’s panties and pants were soaked through with her desire for him now. She held her own tongue still until he was finished. When he once again crushed his lips to hers, she finally let her tongue plunge into his wet mouth and explore.

He sucked on it and now used two hands to pleasure both of her nipples at the same time. She was moaning into his mouth and if he hadn’t been covering hers with his, she would have cried out. He knew just how much pressure to apply to keep from crossing that line from pleasure into outright pain. He’s so good at this...or maybe they’re just so good at this together.

He reached up with one hand and wrapped it up in her hair. He tugged on it while he used his other hand to work the zipper and button of her pants. Once he’d gotten them open she felt his fingers working their way down over the delicate skin of her lower abdomen. His hand dove beneath the waistband of her panties and Paige opened her stance as she felt his fingers nudging against her swollen, sensitive clit. He began stroking it softly while he again nibbled his way across her neck, and drew her skin into his mouth. He held it gently with his teeth while his tongue swiped across it.

Paige felt like she was losing her mind between the combination of his lips and teeth and his fingers in her wet pussy. She reached up and put her hands on the back of his head and urged him down. Her breasts were aching to be sucked. Damien complied, moving his face down while reaching around and unclasping her bra at the same time. As soon as the bra was out of the way he sucked one of her large dark nipples into his mouth. Paige cried out and held his head tightly, urging him on.

He bit softly on her nipple and tugged against it with his teeth. He slowly ran his tongue across the skin surrounding it, and then he moved his head over and let his mouth find the other one, giving it the same treatment. She was pulling and tugging on his hair, pressing him into her as he licked and sucked. Then a small cry escaped from her lips when the fingers down inside of her pants found their way up inside of her pussy. He already knew where that sweet spot was, the one that made her come in an instant. He began rubbing and moving his fingers around inside of her and within a few short seconds Paige felt her body go rigid against the rough bark of the tree.

Her eyes squeezed tightly shut and she let the spasms take over as they coursed through her body making her shake and jerk. She pressed into his hand, not wanting the waves of the orgasm to end. He continued sucking her nipples and fingered her through the climax. She was panting when she finally relaxed and only then did Damien pull his face up and look at her. His eyes were intense and she could see the lust in them. 

Paige dropped her mouth to his neck and began to suck and lick with fervor. She pulled at the bottom of his shirt and Damien ripped it off over his head, allowing her access to his hard, muscular chest. She dragged her tongue hungrily down from his neck to his chest, biting and kissing and sucking along the way. She made her way down to his hard stomach and dropped to her knees on the wet grass in front of him. She pressed her mouth against the hard bulge in his jeans and kissed him. He groaned and fisted his hands at his sides as her hands went for the waistband and began to unbutton and unzip.

She lowered the zipper enough to allow his beautiful cock to spring free of its confines. It was rock hard and pulsing as she darted her tongue out and raked it across his swollen head. She pulled the pants and boxers out of her way then and wrapped her hand around the shaft near the bottom of it, giving it a little squeeze. He groaned again and reached down to take her hair in his hands again.

He gently pressed her face forward, silently begging her to take him in her mouth. She looked up at his face and met that intense gaze. It sent a shudder through her. His lips were parted as he watched her and his breaths were slow and heavy. His hard chest heaved up and down and the light from the stars shone across the colorful tattoos that adorned his sexy body. Paige thought she’d never seen a more beautiful sight.

She felt his body shiver when she finally took him into her mouth. She began right away devouring him hungrily, sliding her lips up and down the shaft while she licked and sucked. Damien was moaning from some place deep in his chest and the tugging on her hair became more violent. She let her saliva pool on the head of his cock and then used her tongue to spread it all over his shaft. She slipped her mouth over him until her nose was pressed into his flesh and his cock was pressing hard into the back of her throat. She would pull her head up then with a long, sexy suck and then plunge right back down on it again. She took him all the way into her throat and let the muscles there contract around him. The noises he was making now were primal and they went right through her. She worked him that way until his cock began to swell and twitch in her mouth. That was when he pulled her off and said,

“No baby, not yet.” She reached out with her tongue and gave him one last loving lick before he reached down and took her under her arms and pulled her to her feet. Once again he pressed her into the tree. Paige thought he was going to enter her. She was ready. But instead, Damien dropped to his knees and pulled her pants and panties down with him as he did.

He nuzzled his face into her lower abdomen as he did and when he got her pants to her ankles, he let his hands work their way back up her calves, massaging them gently until he got to the backs of her thighs. He pushed her forward then and buried his face in her pussy. He slid his hands up and grasped both of her cheeks to hold her in place as he began to lick across her soaking wet lips. He groaned again, loudly and suddenly it was as if the last vestiges of his self-control were gone and there was nothing left standing between him and pleasure and pain. He began to bite and suck at the sensitive skin of her upper thighs, first on one side and then on the other until his face landed back between her legs once again. She used his hair to pull his face into her and she ground her hips down into him. He spread her lips with his tongue and sucked her clit into his mouth. Paige was crying out as he sucked and licked her bringing her back to the precipitous of another orgasm.

Her legs nearly buckled underneath her as he curled his experienced tongue around her clit as he sucked voraciously. Noises were coming from his throat and she could feel the vibrations of them against her flesh. This time when the orgasm ripped through her, she screamed. She didn’t give any thought to whether or not the sound would carry. There was no holding it back.

The tree was cutting into her but that was only adding to the thrill of what they were doing. She slammed herself back harder into it as she came on his lips and tongue. Her body trembled furiously as the remnants of the climax continued to ripple from her core. Every nerve in her body was focused on that. Damien continued to bring her to heights she’d never been before.

When she finally opened her eyes, Damien’s face was close to hers. He looked like he was waiting for her to recover from her orgasm and once her eyes were opened, he wasted no time in taking her hips into his hands and letting his cock slide up into her. He lifted her up off her feet and held her against the tree as he raised and lowered her up and down on his cock. He had his teeth clenched and every sculpted muscle in his body was taut and rippling. Paige used the leverage of her thighs pressed into him to take each pounding stroke as deep as she could.

His eyes seemed to suddenly focus on the curve of her neck that was exposed and he lunged his head forward and bit down. She cried out but never lost her stride as she hurtled towards yet another orgasm. Damien grunted and his body stiffened as he reached his own climax. He held her still for a moment and then he pulled her in close, wrapping her legs around him and gently rocking them both, riding out the passion until they were both on the verge of collapse.
