Lovely (25 page)

I pull back and take her bottom lip between my teeth, tugging gently, then slip my tongue inside and kiss her passionately. The pressure of her mouth and body against mine pushes a groan from my chest. I let my fingers roam and begin massaging her through the lace of her bra, her nipple puckering under my touch. “Does that feel good?” I ask, watching her plump lips open, heavy breaths falling from them as I continue to tease her.

“Hmmm …,” she responds, panting, pushing herself further into my fingers.

I forge a path with my tongue down her jawline as my hands move around to the small of her back, pressing her against my full, throbbing erection. Reaching up, I unclasp her bra and a soft mewl escapes her throat as it falls, then again as my hands fondle her, my thumbs rolling over her soft, pink nipples. I lower my head, my lips surrounding her, sucking on one nipple and then the other until they’re wet and stiff and she drops her head back with a whimper. My tongue makes its way back
to brush the delicate shell of her ear, blowing a light breath over the moist spot, and she shivers.

“So beautiful,” I whisper, reaching down and cupping her, feeling the dampness between her thighs. “You’re already wet,” I mutter against her lips, rubbing my finger back and forth over her panties and catching her moan in my mouth. When I pull back, I don’t take my eyes from hers as I drop to the ground and hook my fingers into her panties, sliding them down her legs. I take my time, trailing kisses up and down her thighs until she makes a sexy noise low in her throat; one that heightens my arousal so much I have to remind myself to calm down.

She reaches for my t-shirt and I help her pull it over my head and quickly tug my jeans down. I can feel her eyes all over me before I realize her fingers are inside the waistband of my shorts. “I want to see you.” Her breath hitches as my boxers fall to the floor and she lowers her eyes, coming face to face with the evidence of my overwhelming desire for her.

She moves in, our naked bodies now pressed together, and smoothes her hands over the taut muscles of my stomach, my heartbeat quickening with her every touch. She slides her hand around to the back of my neck and pulls me in, her lips soft, yet demanding. Sinking her fingers into my hair, she holds me there while her tongue searches my mouth and I let her claim me, wanting nothing more.

“I want to explore your body,” I say against her mouth, then take her hand and lead her to the bed, laying her back gently against the pillows. I climb up and nestle between her legs, the feel of her bare skin against mine making me groan low and deep. “Cara,” I breathe, and I find her lips, smothering them with want and desire.

My lips leave her mouth and I drag them slowly down, nipping her neck, rolling my tongue across the smooth skin of her collarbone. Gradually, I move lower and take her tight nipple into my mouth while my hand traces the dips of her belly until I reach her swollen entrance. I gently circle her clit with my finger, causing her to cry out, and it’s the most glorious sound. I want to hear it again, only louder. My mouth continues its descent, moving from her nipples and licking my way down to make swirls around her belly button while my fingers glide in and out of her warmth. She lifts her ass up to push against my hand. I gaze at her in awe. “Your pussy is so beautiful.”

“What did you say?” she asks between moans.

“I-I …”

“Say it again,” she says, breathing hard.

“Your pussy is beautiful.”

Her legs fall apart further at my words, the scent of her desire cascading over me in ripples of pure bliss. “Put your mouth on me, Ash,” she pants.

That has to be the single hottest thing any girl has ever said to me. My lips smile against her as I rest myself between her legs, lifting them up one at a time and pressing hot kisses along her inner thighs, a gasp falling from her lips. I lay her leg down gently and move to her other one, licking and sucking on her bare skin until her body is rising off the bed.

“Spread your legs wider for me, beautiful.” A low rumble leaves my chest when I see how wet she is. “I love how wet you are … for me.” I growl as my tongue darts out and licks the length of her wet, pink folds, back and forth, the sexiest sounds leaving her mouth, my cock growing harder with each passing second. Her chest is rising with her rapid breaths, so I push down gently on her clit while I continue to coat my lips with the slickness of her desire and she comes in my mouth, crying out my name over and over again. I press myself up, bringing my hands down on either side of her head, seeking out her lips. “You taste so sweet, Cara.”

Her eyes are glazed as she stares into mine. “I want to be yours, Ash … in every way.”

I press a soft kiss to the corner of her mouth and reach for my wallet on the side table to grab one of the two condoms there. I roll it over my hard-on as Cara watches me, her tongue gliding across her lips. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to hold out.

I raise myself up and grab hold of my cock, looking deep into her eyes. “I know what it’s like to be inside your heart, now I want to know what it’s like to be inside of you.”

She whimpers and I tease her opening, soaking the tip with her wetness, and glide inside slowly, halfway at first, to let her get used to me. Her head falls back and she releases a shuddering moan, opening for me so I can slide all the way in.

“God, Cara … you feel … incredible.”

When her eyes find mine again, they’re burning with passion and desire … and unexpected emotion. I start moving inside of her, relishing the feel of her smooth skin against mine. I want so badly to let go and pound myself into her, but I go slowly, circling my hips, thrusting into her deeper each time and then pulling back out, causing her to tremble, her body thrumming with pleasure, the scent of sex swirling around us.

She wraps her legs around me as I continue to push deeper inside of her, her hips reaching up now to meet my thrusts, both of us moaning. I keep my eyes open and on hers, needing to see the moment when she lets go. She begins whimpering loudly, the sound causing a tremor to move through me, spurring me on further.

“Ash,” she breathes hoarsely, digging her nails into my shoulder blades, and I can tell she’s close.

Our bodies move together with perfect synergy, rocking until we’re panting heavily, dripping with sweat, as the sensation and rhythm brings us to release, both of us calling each other’s names.

I bury my face in her neck and take a minute to calm my erratic breathing, feeling puffs of breath hitting my shoulder. I push a sweaty curl away from her face. “You okay?”

“More than okay,” she assures me, a sated grin turning up her lips.

I kiss her mouth gently. “Up until now,” I whisper, “I’ve always thought with my body, but you make me think with my heart.”

She gazes at me, her eyes twinkling, and I see her bottom lip trembling. I don’t ask her if she’s cold, because I know she’s not. She’s feeling exactly what I’m feeling.

I rain kisses on her eyelids, her temple, her cheeks, her nose, and just when I’m about to land on her mouth, she grabs me, weaving her arms around my neck and tugging on my hair. I’m already hard again, and want to be back inside her. We make love once more until we’re both exhausted. I gather her in my arms, settling her head on my chest, and that’s how we stay.

She traces the V in my abdomen as I watch her, a feeling of contentment flows through me. “I love this … it’s so sexy,” she says, her fingers moving back and forth lazily over my groin, her touch so relaxing that my eyes flutter closed.

The way we fall asleep is the way we wake up, tangled in one another. I smile instantly as I inhale the sweet scent of strawberry and crack open my eyes to see her chestnut highlights cascade like a waterfall down my pillow, her long lashes skimming her cheeks. Leaning over, I drop a kiss on her neck, and she stirs.

“Good morning, beautiful,” I whisper.

Her eyes flutter open slowly, dancing in the sunlight gleaming through the window.
What a lovely wake up call
. “Morning,” she murmurs with a sexy, sleepy voice.

I support myself on my elbow and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “How’d you sleep, beauty?”

Her eyes sparkle as she touches her hand softly to my cheek. “Like a dream, you?”

“Same. Wait, I’m not dreaming, am I? I need to make sure.” I run my hands up and over her hips and she starts squirming, lyrical giggles flying above us.

She wiggles on the bed, laughing until tears are streaming down her face. “Stop!” she cries out.

I pause, suspended above her, preparing to continue my torture. “Make me,” I say with a devilish smirk.

Cara squints and looks over at the clock. “What time is it?” she asks.

“Early … it’s only five.”

Her eyes rake over my body, grinning like the Cheshire Cat. “Hmmm … good … plenty of time.”

She rolls on top of me and gives me a quick kiss on the mouth before her lips roam. I feel her tongue everywhere, my body coming alive at the contact, beginning with my shoulders and moving down past my neck to the ridges of my chest. Her fingers join her tongue and trace circles around my abs until I no longer feel her mouth. She lifts her head, her doe-like eyes shining brightly. “You’re so beautiful.”

I lose my breath in that moment, simply because the way she’s looking at me and the gentleness in her touch tells me she’s not just talking about the way I look to her. My heart picks up its pace as our eyes lock for what seems like an eternity.

She finally breaks our gaze and moves lower, the moistness of her tongue heats the skin in its path, causing me to moan as I sense where she’s headed. When she gets there, she wraps her fingers around the base of my thick erection and starts a pulling and twisting motion that drives me insane. Her tongue darts out to lick the moisture that’s gathered at the head, swirling and licking up and down my length until all manners of thought have left my brain and I’m lost in the warmth of her mouth, in her fervor, in her passion for me. When I feel her wet mouth surround me and pull me in, I exhale a deep, shuddering breath. She starts sucking slowly at first, continuing to run her hand up and down my cock, and it feels so damn good.

“Cara,” I breathe, letting out a guttural moan, spikes of pleasure coursing through me.

She lifts her head to stare at me and I can’t tear myself away from her eyes as she continues to give me the best blow job I’ve ever had in my life. I explode almost suddenly and gasp. Emotion makes all the difference in the world.

She drags her body back up to mine and plants kisses along my neck and jaw.

“Cara, I’m speechless,” I say with what little breath I have left.

“I could see that,” she replies, her lips turned up in a wicked grin.

“Boy, when those glasses come off, you’re like a tiger.”

Her head falls back as she laughs.

I hear a noise that sounds like a door slamming. “What was that?”

“That’s just Nadine.”

We’re quiet for a minute, and sure enough, we hear Nadine walk up the stairs, and another door closes.

“Good, now where were we?” Cara says with mischief in her eyes. She pulls me to her once again, taking my mouth in a heated kiss and wrapping her perfect legs around me.

“Yup, a tiger, just like I said.”

Cara and I are inseparable over the next two weeks in every sense of the word. I can’t stand to be apart from her, and when we’re together … Well, it’s just fireworks. Plain and simple.

“Stop tickling me,” she says as my hand grabs for her ass on the living room couch. “Your mom could walk in any minute.”

“I told you she had to stay late at the salon, and Colt and Delilah went to a movie. They won’t be home until much later. Let’s go to my room and let the tiger out.”

She elbows me, smiling. “Is that all I’m good for now?”

“Hmmm … I can think of a lot of things you’re good for, but right now, there
is
one particular thing I’d like to hone in on.”

“And what’s that?” she asks, her voice now laced with desire.

I stare at her mouth, enticing me with that berry gloss she loves to wear. “Your mouth.”
