Love & Deception (Agents in Love - Book 1) (18 page)

Before she knew it, they were at her bedroom
door and she fumbled for the handle.

Nick strode in and set her on top of the
bed. He climbed next to her, caressing her neck and face. “Is this
okay? Because if you want to wait, I’ll wait. As long as you
need.”

Shaking her head, Carlie snuggled closer to
him, running her hand down his muscled body and over the bulge
growing in his pants. “Maybe fate does have a role in our lives.
I’ve been drawn to you from the very start, too. Why waste
time?”

He let out a soft moan as she cradled his
shaft in her fingers, and Carlie didn’t want to talk anymore.

Nick’s heart pounded so hard, he wondered if
it would explode before the night was through. Carlie slipped her
hand beneath the elastic band in his sweats. Her thin fingers
tickled around the length of his erection, and Nick twitched with
need. She stroked to the base and then fondled his balls, provoking
a deep grunt from him.

Her hand then trailed up his stomach,
igniting fire wherever it touched. Reaching his shoulder, she
pushed him flat against the bed and stared at him. “It’s been a
while since I’ve...” She shook her head and bit her lip. In the
semi-darkness of the room, her large eyes looked almost gray.

“It’s like riding a bike,” he assured her,
not concerned in the least about her ability to please him. He
plunged his hand into her damp hair and pulled her face closer to
kiss the tip of her nose. “Don’t worry. Being with you fulfills my
wildest fantasies.”

She smiled and a faint blush colored her
cheeks. “Sweet talker.”

His words seemed to make her bolder, and
Carlie slung her leg over his, stroking her toes up the inside of
his sweatpants and back down. She pressed her mouth into Nick’s and
tweaked his flat nipple between her fingers. It puckered as she
teased it, sending a jolt through him. Regardless of her lack of
recent practice, Carlie certainly knew what to do. She nibbled away
from his mouth and down his neck, using plenty of teeth as she
worked toward his ear.

“I can’t wait to make you come,” she
whispered. The feel of her hot breath against him nearly gave her
what she wished for, then and there. She sucked on the bottom of
his lobe, and Nick shuddered as another bolt of pleasure flowed
through his body.

He tucked his hand inside the back of her
pajama top and caressed her smooth skin, pleased to note she hadn’t
bothered putting on a bra after showering. Working her top up, he
slipped it around her neck and Carlie assisted in ripping it the
rest of the way off.

While he’d felt a lot of her earlier, he
hadn’t seen her. Nick let out an appreciative whistle, causing her
blush to deepen. Carlie’s small breasts were the perfect size to
fit into his hands, and it was his turn to push her flat against
the bed. He took one already tightening peak into his mouth and
kneaded the other between his thumb and index finger.

She shivered and moaned softly, sighing
while tipping her head further into the pillow behind her. Her
fingernails raked across his back with stinging pain that kicked
his pulse up another notch.

“God, Carlie.” He had a hard time catching
his breath enough to speak. “You’re making me so hard.”

She tugged the waistband of his pants,
pulling them down and taking his briefs with them. Once she freed
him, her hand encircled his throbbing member. She stroked the
entire length of it, finding his mouth with her own while
continuing the intimate caress on his manhood.

He thrust his tongue into her parted lips,
licking the inside of her mouth all while longing to lick her a bit
lower. She squealed softly and increased the pressure and speed of
her hand.

Nick sucked her bottom lip, his body
thrumming with hot desire. Being near her was an intoxicating drug.
If she didn’t stop soon, he would lose it long before he satisfied
her. Shifting his midsection away, he grabbed Carlie’s hand and
raised it to his mouth, kissing her fingers.

Her eyes fluttered open. “Why’d you stop
me?”

Even the sound of her breathless voice drove
him crazy. “I need to slow this down. You feel too good.”

She grinned. “Oh. That’s okay, then.”

He slipped his hand into her pajama pants
and rubbed her, pleased at the dampness of her panties. Getting on
his knees, he pulled off her bottoms, crawling toward the bottom of
the bed and taking her clothes with him.

“Hey!” she protested as he climbed off the
bed. “Where are you going?”

He smiled down at her, loving the way she
looked naked. Her small breasts formed stiff peaks that reached for
him, betraying her need. She truly was the vision of his deepest
fantasies.

Crossing the room to his bag, Nick unzipped
the outside pocket and grabbed a condom. He sheathed himself
quickly and turned to face her. “Just taking care of a little
business. We’re good to go.”

She giggled and thumped the bed beside her.
“Great. Get your sexy self over here. I’m getting cold all by
myself.”

“Can’t let that happen.”

He climbed onto the bed, spreading her legs
and shimming between them. He rubbed his chest against her crotch
and continued sliding upward. He touched every part of her along
the way first his fingers and then his chest, until he kissed her
lips once again.

“Please, Nick,” she murmured. “I want
you.”

Reaching down, he found the tight bud
between her legs and flicked it. Carlie flexed her pelvis,
thrusting herself forward and then pulling back.

He covered her nipple with his mouth again,
sucking powerfully as he continued flicking her engorged clit. She
raked her fingernails across his back for a second time and grabbed
his ass, squeezing tightly as she pulled him against her.

“Now,” she demanded.

He looked at her from the tops of his eyes,
flicking her nipple with his tongue a few more times before shaking
his head. “You aren’t ready yet.”

He dipped his finger into her crevice,
noting again how tight and small she was. Using the pad of his
thumb, he continued stroking the place he knew would give the most
pleasure. She gasped and wiggled beneath him, and Nick slipped a
second finger inside, moving in and out in a steady rhythm to
stretch her snug opening.

“Oh, Nick. You feel so good.” She gripped
the sheets beside her, breathing in short gasps and thrusting
herself aggressively onto his fingers.

Sensing she was on the cusp of another
orgasm by his hands, Nick slid down to give her a more intimate
kiss. He rasped his tongue across her lower lips, savoring the
taste of her, and then sucked powerfully on her over-stimulated
clit. She gyrated against him, moaning while he plunged his fingers
inside her.

Carlie’s entire body tensed and she shrieked
as a shudder trembled through her. She yanked on his hair, pulling
it while panting incoherent words, and he continued teasing her
with his tongue. After several sweet moments, her hands relaxed
their hold and she shuddered one last time.

He slid off the edge of the bed, standing at
the base of it, and yanked her across the bedspread until her ass
reached the edge. He swung her ankles onto his shoulders and
grabbed her backend in his hands. Still breathing loudly, she
supported herself on her elbows and ground her crotch against his
stomach, letting out another soft moan as she made eye contact with
him. Nick thought it was impossible to want her more than he
already did, but he twitched even harder, eager to enter her.

Gripping her hips to maneuver her into
place, he guided her onto him, barely having the control to go as
slowly as he knew he needed to. Her breathing changed slightly, and
he stopped, holding her in place.

“Are you okay?”

She nodded, but her eyes were wide when they
met his. “I’ll be okay. Don’t worry.”

“You sure?” Though he didn’t want to stop,
Carlie said she hadn’t been with a man for a long time. He’d do
what she needed. There were other ways to please him if she wasn’t
ready to take this step.

To his relief, Carlie shook her head and
flexed her legs, forcing her hips closer to him and bringing him
inside another inch. “I want you. All of you.”

He withdrew slightly and then pulled her
close, not daring to bury himself inside her completely yet, though
he wanted to. His shaft twitched and pulsated, and soon Carlie’s
breathing accelerated. With each stroke, he dared a little deeper,
pressed a little further. Her soft moans matched his deep groans
with each thrust.

Her muscles contracted rhythmically,
squeezing him tightly inside her. He finally impaled her
completely, giving her every inch of his thickness. Holding her
tightly, he didn’t move, scarcely breathing while he waited for her
to indicate she was ready.

Carlie reached her hand across her chest,
gripping her nipple and making eye contact again. “I’ve never had
it like this. You feel so good.”

The huskiness of her voice nearly undid him.
She tilted her pelvis, still contracting against his length as she
moved him inside her gently.

“And I’ve never been with anyone so
beautiful,” he said, grasping the globes of her ass and pushing her
away from him again. He slipped nearly to the end of her opening,
then pulled her quickly back.

He stroked harder and harder, increasing the
tempo. Carlie moaned and pulled at her nipples, biting her lower
lip, never taking her eyes off his.

“Harder,” she begged.

Nick pounded harder, sweat trickling down
his chest. The throbbing was uncontrollable, and he knew he
couldn’t hang on much longer.

Carlie slipped her heels off his shoulders
and bent them toward her body, wrapping her arms around her knees
and tilting her pelvis upward. Nick leaned his chest against the
backs of her thighs, pressing his legs against the mattress.

The new position let him penetrate just a
bit further, and Carlie cried out with a delighted shriek. “Yes,
Nick, yes. I can’t wait longer.” Her panting increased in tempo and
Nick impaled her again and again.

She turned her head into the pillow,
muffling her screams while tremors raced through her body.

Nick made it a few more strokes and then his
own orgasm exploded. He pumped himself into her, shouting with
victory before tumbling on top of her.

Carlie’s legs wrapped around his waist and
she clenched him tightly, running her hands through his hair while
shockwaves of pleasure flowed through them both.

***

“Wow,” Carlie gasped, once she was able to
articulate again.

Nick ran his hands over her hair and nuzzled
into her neck, kissing it softly. His breathing was still labored
and shallow, just like her own.

Carlie squeezed her legs tightly around him
and caressed his back with her fingertips, loving the feel of him
trapping her into place on the bed.

She could tell he’d been worried about
hurting her during their lovemaking, which made things all the more
special in her eyes. Much better than Ryan taking advantage of her
when she didn’t even know what was going on, then rolling off her
and acting like she should feel privileged he relieved her of her
virginity.

Not that she wanted to compare Nick to Ryan.
That wasn’t a bit fair. But if she did compare the men, Nick was
better, without question.

Nick shifted his weight to the side,
breaking her legs from their gripped position around him as he
rolled off her. “Sorry to break this up, my lady.” He stroked her
face and rubbed her bottom lip with his thumb. “My legs are falling
asleep. Think we can scoot up?”

“I forgot your legs were hanging off the
edge.” Feeling bad, she scrambled backward until her head found the
pillow and then crawled beneath the covers.

Nick stepped out of the room and into the
bathroom for a moment and then slid in beside her, pulling the
covers around their shoulders. He wrapped her in his arms.

Carlie snuggled in close, laying her head on
his chest, and listening to the steady rhythm of his heart. “Sorry
about Shelley interrupting this morning. I hope tonight was
everything you wanted.”

He kissed the top of her head. “Don’t
apologize. You’re worth the wait.”

His words filled her with pleasure. It was
the first time she felt real satisfaction after making love. Even
though at first she didn’t realize Ryan was only with her out of
duty, something was off in their relationship from the beginning.
Things with Bradley were never serious, so left her feeling
empty.

And I’m not thinking about them anymore.
Being with Nick is too wonderful to spoil with thoughts of other
men.

She rubbed his smooth pecs. “I’m glad you
stayed tonight.” She tipped her head back and met his dark eyes. “I
know you just wanted to protect me. Sorry I overreacted. I do
appreciate how much you care for me and I’m happy you’re here.”

“Good, because I don’t know what I’d do if
you sent me away.” His voice was a soft purr and he stroked her
face with a tender touch. “You really are a perfect fit for me,
Carlie. I like being with you.”

Joy filled her heart, and Carlie couldn’t
help but smile. His intense gaze promised her the world, and she
wanted to accept it. She knew they barely met and it was too soon
to contemplate the “L” word, but the possibility of love felt
closer than it ever had. Besides, he was the one who said he knew
she was the woman for him the instant they met.

“I really like being with you, too.” She
sighed happily. “I convinced myself there was no such thing as
having a connection to someone.” She paused, wondering if she
should tell him how she really felt. Then again, he still looked at
her with passion and promise, and she felt like she could open up
to him. “I’ve always longed for true love. However, after
everything I went through with Ryan, I feared I’d be alone the rest
of my life.”
