Laid Bare (3 page)

Off in the distance the sound of laughter broke the silence of the night. Even though they were draped in darkness on his dock, hidden from probing eyes, it was still a reminder that they weren’t really alone. Without concealing his erection, Liam stepped back and gathered her hand into his.

His gaze panned her face, searching for answers and the intent look in his eyes spoke of such need and desire it made her insides quiver. “Can you stay?”

“For a little while,” she answered. “But then I—”

He didn’t let her finish. Instead he slid his fingers through her damp hair and dropped his mouth to hers. Her body pulsed with pent-up need as his warm salty lips met hers and stole her ability to think straight.

Giving in to her baser urges, she opened for him, granting him entry while she savored the incredible taste of his mouth. His kiss was so tender, so achingly gentle that it took her by surprise. His hands circled her waist to draw her in tighter, and when her body became pliable in his arms, letting him know in no uncertain terms what she wanted, a low growl of longing sounded in his throat.

Her nipples tightened with arousal and pressed against his bare chest, her body needing more—so much more…

Liam broke the kiss and cupped her chin. His big, rugged hands were gentle on her face as the rough pad of his thumb stroked her cheek. “I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to do that.”

“Was it worth the wait?” she asked, teasing him as her body flushed hotly.

“Well worth it.” His hands moved to her waist as he added, “You’ve been in my dreams since I was a teen.”

“And you’ve dreamed about kissing me?”

He gave her a sheepish grin. “Well, the dreams usually start out that way.”

That brought a smile to her face. She loved knowing she was the star of his teenage fantasies. Feeling bold and playful, her tone was full of want when she asked, “Then shall we finish it?”

The invitation in her voice seemed to provoke him into action. His eyes darkened and his nostrils flared as he stroked a tender caress over her neck, her arms, her stomach. His hands moved easily, a careful exploration, and everything in his expression spoke of a deeper want—a man searching for so much more than quick, hurried sex on his dock.

She loved the way he touched her, a light feathery caress over her contours that sent shockwaves racing through her. When she whimpered in erotic delight, he drew a sharp breath and she sensed his control was faltering.

She wasn’t sure who moved first, but they were back to kissing each other, their lips moving hungrily and with much more desperation and urgency this time. Desire moved into her stomach as she touched his body, eagerly running her hands over his sculpted frame, reveling in the feel of his hard muscles beneath her exploring hands.

“I love the texture of your skin,” she murmured, palming his shoulders, his back, his firm buttocks, still unable to get him close enough.

He groaned as his lips left her mouth to trail her body, stopping to bury his face in the sensitive crook of her neck. He sucked in air and she knew he caught the tang of her arousal as it curled around them. He gripped the hem of her shirt and peeled it from her body. An agonized look moved over his face as he stared at her bare breasts.

“Gorgeous. So fucking gorgeous,” he murmured, bending to draw one pebbled nub into his mouth. His swiped his tongue over her engorged nipple, his breath scorching her skin. Ella quaked, her passion soaring to new levels. Everything in the way he touched her was deeply intimate, highly erotic and had her aching to lose herself in him.

As he paid homage to her other breast, his fingers moved to the button on her shorts and he deftly popped it open. As basic elemental need took over she moved her hips, pushing against him eagerly as he slipped a hand inside her shorts. A growl ripped from his lungs when he swiped a finger between her folds and found her wet and wanting.

Tortured eyes moved over her face and his voice sounded labored when he said, “Baby, you’re so wet and I’ve barely touched you.”

Lust streaked through her and she gave a breathy, intimate laugh. “That’s because I’ve wanted you for a long time now.”

He blew out a slow breath of his own, and his laugh was edgy, churning with passion. “Believe me, sweetheart, I know all about wanting.”

With that he parted her dewy lips and dragged his finger over her swollen sex. Small ripples pulled at her cunt, and Ella cried out in bliss, unable to believe how close she was to orgasming from that simple touch alone.

Liam gave her a sexy grin, like he was fully aware of how near she was to tumbling over.

“Please,” she whispered, so needy that she wasn’t above begging.

“Oh no, not yet, baby,” he said, completely in tune with her needs. “I’ve waited for you for fifteen long years and there is so much I want to do to you first.”

Her entire body pulsed in anticipation, because there was so much she wanted him to do to her, so much she wanted to do to him.

He ripped her shorts open and she wiggled her hips when he dropped to his knees to pull them to her ankles.

When he saw she wasn’t wearing panties he groaned loudly and tapped her leg. “Lift your foot.”

She raised her damaged leg first then took extra care to balance on her wounded ankle. Wanting to mask her injury she gripped Liam’s shoulders for support and put all her weight on him, but astute man that he was, he sensed her discomfort.

His brow furrowed. “What is it, Ella?” he asked, and the sincerity in his voice warmed her insides.

“Everything’s fine,” she assured him, loving the sensitive, caring side of him.

He opened his mouth to protest, but she jutted her hips forward and stroked her finger over her clit, not wanting anything to break the intimacy between them. She needed to seize this moment, because she might not ever have this opportunity again. With desperation fueling her on she rushed out, “I need you to lick me, Liam. I need to feel your tongue on my pussy.”

“Sweet fuck,” he bit out, raw lust swimming in his eyes as she parted her folds, offering herself up to him.

With that he leaned forward and gave her a long, leisurely lick, going all the way from the bottom to the top.

Ella cried out at that first sweet touch and gripped his hair to hold his mouth to her. Hot blood raced through her veins as he introduced himself to her cunt, his gentle licks becoming more heated, more urgent as she moaned in pleasure.

“So good,” she cried out and listened to her voice carry in the dark night as the breeze whipped over her skin and the dock swayed beneath them. But she didn’t care who heard her. Ella needed this more than she ever needed salt from the ocean.

As he indulged in her body, he gripped her ass and pulled her in for a more thorough taste. He pressed a burning kiss to her cunt, and then looked up at her, his expression tender, hot. Raw. “By God, you’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted.”

The emotion in his voice caught her off guard and the intimacy in the way he talked to her had her heart racing and her body quivering. She looked at his beautiful cock and her mouth watered, eager to suck his bulbous crown, to savor his cream. “I want to taste you, too.”

His nostrils flared and he shook his head, and even though she could sense his mounting need he said, “I’m not near done with you.”

With that he dove back in and his mouth took full possession of her pussy while he dipped one finger inside her wet heat.

“Jesus,” he cried out as her muscles clenched around him. “You’re so tight.”

He pushed his face in deeper and made erotic lapping noises that sounded like the surf kissing the sandy shoreline. She threw her head back. The sweet smell of the ocean mingled with Liam’s earthy aroma and brought her passion to new heights. He continued to devour her and in no time at all, small quakes began at her core. She was close. So close. Liam must have sensed it too. He slid another finger inside and pumped deftly.

Heat seared her blood and an ocean breeze that rode in with the tide did little to cool her. Pressure built inside her, rising higher and higher until she was sure she was going explode. Every nerve in her body came alive and her blood ran hot, heavy.

“Come for me, Ella.” She looked at him and the desperation on his face became her undoing. “I’ve waited so long to taste you.”

As his voice gave way to soft persuasion a whimper escaped her mouth. He touched her deeper, with more purpose, and as her mind shut down she began moving her hips, pressing against him, seeking what her body craved. A myriad of senses overcame her and in no time at all she went up in a burst of flames, the pleasure so intense she had to grip his shoulders to hang on.

Her pussy clenched hard and she moaned in sweet pleasure, every erotic pulse bringing fulfillment like she’d never before experienced.

As she completely came apart he continued to lick her, the soft blade of his tongue coaxing the last of her release, nurturing and prolonging it for as long as possible as he drank her in.

“That was amazing,” she whispered when her body stopped spasming and her heartbeat began to slow down.

Looking disheveled and wild with need, Liam climbed to his feet and with exquisite gentleness pulled her in close, holding her tight against his body. His lips found hers and she could taste her sweetness on his tongue as he kissed her.

Needing in the most unfathomable way to pleasure him the same way he’d pleasured her, she wrapped her hands around his massive cock. As she stroked him, she wondered how they’d ever fit together. But deep inside her she knew they would. Despite the fact that they were worlds apart, her heart told her they belonged together.

His body shuddered as she gave a gentle squeeze and when she slipped her other hand between his legs to massage his balls a look of pure bliss came over his face and she could tell he was desperately trying to hang on.

“I need to fuck you, baby. I need to take you. Now. Hard and fast.” The impatience, the unchecked want in his voice frightened and excited her at the same time. She gulped air as his gaze moved over her face, gauging her.

“Yes…” was all she could manage to get out as her body quaked in heated anticipation, amazed how this man, a man she barely knew but felt she’d known forever, could stir such profound feelings in her.

Without preamble, he dropped to his knees and dragged her down along with him. He made a bed with his clothes and when she lowered herself onto the soft padding, he followed her down and settled himself over her body, his large frame urging her thighs apart.

She could feel the tip of his cock probing her opening and she wrapped her legs around him to draw him in. She touched his cheek, his stubble tickling her hand.

“Please,” she said, frantic. “I want you inside me.”

Liam brushed his finger over her wet pussy, testing her, and he seemed almost desperate when he said, “Tell me you need this, Ella. Tell me you need me.”

“I’ve needed you for a long time, Liam.”

While a barrage of emotions smoldered in his eyes, he plunged into her. Even though he was big and she was small, he slid all the way inside, the two fitting together as if they were made for each other. Once he was all the way inside her he stilled, letting her get used to the fullness as her body opened for him. Ella gasped and closed her eyes in bitter sweet ecstasy, because the second he drove into her she knew this one night with him would never be enough. Everything inside her hungered for so much more than just his touch.

Honestly had she really thought her plan to seduce him would help extricate him from her head and her heart? She should have known that one physical union with him would simply draw her in deeper.

Not wanting to dwell on that, and wanting to savor every moment with him while she could, she held him tighter and took in the mosaic of stars shimmering above, trying not to think that after a night with him, life as she knew it would forever be altered.

“You feel so good, sweetheart,” he murmured into her mouth and she could tell he was struggling for control. “So tight. So fucking tight.”

As moonlight danced over their naked bodies, she rocked her hips, urging him on. He followed her rhythm, his cock sliding in and out of her slick core, pushing on her tight walls and making her feel so gloriously full.

Together they moved in sync, taking and giving, pushing and pulling as they climbed higher and higher, approaching the peak together. Soon Liam’s thrusts became more urgent, more frenzied. He pumped harder, slamming into her with such force she feared they were going to break the dock free of its moorings.

He slipped a hand between their bodies and found her sensitive clit. He pressed a finger over her throbbing nub, and applied the perfect amount of pressure to push her to the point of no return. The man knew just how to touch her, knew just what she needed. No one had ever been so in tune with her body before, so concerned with her pleasures.

She took deep gulping breaths, feeling wild, out of control as he pushed her over the precipice. Writhing beneath him, she ran her nails over his back then held him tight, never wanting the moment to end.

“Yes,” she cried out as another powerful orgasm tore through her and practically ripped the air from her lungs.

As her hot cream coated Liam’s cock, he threw his head back and groaned deeply.

“Come for me, Liam,” she whispered and there was nothing she could do to keep the raw emotion from her voice when she added, “I need to feel you come inside me.”

Liam slammed hard as his eyes locked on hers. Everything in the way he looked at her conveyed his emotions. He felt their connection every bit as much as she did.

She squeezed her cunt muscles together and could feel his cock tighten, blood rushing through his veins as his climax approached. His mouth found hers as he surrendered to the pleasure and less than a heartbeat later he splashed his seed high insider her. He gave a low growl of satisfaction, his body shuddering with his hard release.

After he depleted himself, Ella drew a long contented breath and wrapped her hands around him tighter, never wanting to let him go. Their bodies, damp with passion, sealed together and joined them as one. She clung to him, her heart clenching in pain as she savored the sweet moment, knowing it would be their last.
