for you.”
Cami had felt something inside her that had
struggled to survive over the years simply fade away.
Perhaps it was the love she should have known for
her parents. Perhaps it was the compassion for their
weaknesses that had seemed to hobble her all her
life.
Whatever it was, it had just faded away inside
her as though it had never existed.
She should have used her common sense rather
than her emotions tonight. Her emotions were about
to get her into more trouble than she wanted to deal
with.
As Rafe lifted himself from her, Cami deliberately
kept her eyes closed, her breathing even. She
refused to leave that halfway place where the past the
didn’t matter and the future hadn’t yet arrived. God
knew she didn’t think she could handle any more
upheaval inside her or around her. She wanted to stay
right where she was, safe and warm inside. While the
realizations and realities she faced remained at a
distance.
Rather than forcing her from that place, Rafer slid
his arms beneath her and carried her slowly up the
huge staircase and into his bedroom. He didn’t speak
or force her to speak. He simply took care of her.
She didn’t want to face what she had just done,
what she had known she would end up doing the
second she had stepped from her car after it slid into
the snowdrift at the side of the main road.
Cami didn’t want to face the fact that she had
complicated her life more than ever and ensured that
she likely would see no peace for quite a while.
Rafer was like a dog with a bone; no, he was
worse than that. Five years ago he had given her a
clue exactly how serious he was about being her
lover.She couldn’t handle it then, and she couldn’t
handle it now. There was too much between the two of
them, as well as between him and the townsfolk of
Sweetrock.
Her gaze fluttered open long seconds later,
though, as she felt him parting her legs. As she
watched, he ran a damp, warm cloth between her
thighs and along the slick, wet folds of her pussy as
he wiped the excess of both their releases from her
body. He had done this every time they were together.
Pushing aside his own need to luxuriate in the
satiation, or in his own release, he had instead
cleaned her and ensured her comfort.
She couldn’t fault Rafer there. The three times
they had been together he had taken excellent care of
her. The first time, just after she’d turned twenty, she’d
been shocked by it. She’d never heard her friends
bragging of their lovers doing such a thing.
“This can’t last, Rafer,” she whispered as he
drew back, her gaze caught by the dark sapphire of
his eyes and the lazy, satisfied expression on his
face.
“I never said it could, Cami.” He shrugged.
But wasn’t exactly agreeing with her either.
“Just for tonight,” she reaffirmed as he drew a dry
towel between and over her thighs. “Then we forget it
happened.”
And just as it had five years before, something
seemed to explode in her chest at the very thought of
it. She could feel the dark, forceful contradiction
screaming inside her and couldn’t understand why.
“Until the storm is over, and the roads are clear
enough for travel.”
He was hard again.
Kneeling with one knee on the bed, the furiously
flushed, wide shaft of his cock pointed out at her, the
flared crest dark and throbbing as she dampened her
dry lips with a sudden hungry thought.
She could have him.
Dawn’s arrival didn’t mean discovery and there
was no way she could run from whatever it was he
made her feel. It just meant more snow as the system
just edging in continued to dump the white stuff across
the mountains.
Twenty-four to thirty inches within the first twentyfour
hours based on the winds and the amount of
precipitation coming through. They could be there for
days. She could get the hunger and the need out of
her system, and maybe, once it was over, she could
find a way to live without the memory of Rafer
Callahan tormenting her.
She reached out, her fingers curving beneath the
heavy weight, her lips parting, her tongue reaching out
to touch the furiously swollen flesh. Slightly salty,
tinged with a hint of storm. The subtle tastes and male
power sent a heavy fist to clench her womb, her
suddenly aching pussy.
Shards of sizzling sensation raced from her scalp
to her nipples, her clit, the inner muscles of her sex as
his fingers clenched in her hair and tugged.
She licked, circled the silk-over-iron flesh, and
tasted the pre-come that eased from the slit at the tip.
Her fingers moved lower, cupped his balls, held them,
tested their weight as well, and with a hungry cry she
sucked the thickened crest deep into her mouth.
“Ah hell, Cami,” he groaned. “There you go, suck
my dick, sweetheart.”
His thighs were rock hard.
His hands controlled her head, moving it back
and forth, fucking her mouth with slow, shallow thrusts.
Her lips burned. Her tongue flicked against the
sensitive underside, tasting him, the freshness of
soap where he had washed moments before, and the
heat of his hunger.
As though they hadn’t just had each other, as
though the pleasure hadn’t burned out of control,
within seconds the need was once again raging.
“Come here,” Rafe growled as he pulled her
head back, staring into the dark gray of her slitted
gaze as he pulled his dick from her mouth.
Her tongue licked over her lips drawing the last
taste of him to her tongue. The sight of it had his balls
tightening furiously as adrenaline rushed through his
system.
“Turn around, on your knees,” he ordered, his jaw
tightened as she moved, the pretty curves of her ass
tempting him as she lowered her shoulders to the bed
and spread her thighs.
Juice gleamed once again on the flushed folds of
her pussy. Then he watched as her hand moved
beneath her body, her fingers, slender and graceful,
parting the intimate lips, as she rubbed at the
entrance in invitation. Then he watched, groaning in
hunger and need as she pressed that finger slowly
into the saturated entrance before easing back.
He gripped the shaft of his cock, moved to the
bed on his knees, and over her.
The second the sensitive head met the fiery
portal of her cunt, he nearly came instantly.
What was it about Cami? He’d never been able
to control his lusts with her as he had with other
women. Since the summer she turned eighteen, she
had been his greatest weakness.
Easing forward, Rafe felt the slick, hot entrance
begin to stretch and flare around his crest. One hand
gripped her hip as he fought to hold back, to control
the blazing hunger to fill her pussy with his come. To
blast inside her and mark her forever with his semen.
Only Cami did this to him.
Only Cami had the power to make him want to
beg her for just one more night, just to see if was
better than the time before, only to learn that the time
before hadn’t even compared. There was nothing so
pleasurable as burying his cock in the sweet mindless
ecstasy to be found inside the gripping depths of her
fiery pussy. To feel it milking him in, rippling over his
cock.
It was like having the tightest fist gripping his dick
and pulling him to paradise. His balls clenched with
painful need and his heart began to pound harder in
his chest. Excitement and adrenaline poured through
his system as her hips moved with him, her slender
back arching, the shaggy cut of her hair feathering
below her neck as she moaned his name.
He could feel her masturbating, her delicate
fingers stroking her clit, and that knowledge had an
animal lust pouring through him.
She knew what she wanted from him. She knew
how to pleasure him, but she also knew how to
pleasure herself. With Cami, it was simply about
pleasuring and pleasing each other as they took for
themselves as well.
Perhaps that was why he couldn’t forget the night
he had her innocence. That despite her virginity, she
had touched him with such hunger and with such need
that there had been no hesitation or coy games.
Gripping her hips with his fingers, Rafe held on
tight as he began to fuck her deeper. He slammed his
cock into the flexing, ever-tightening depths of her
cunt. The world narrowed to the steady hum of
pleasure beginning to vibrate between them, and the
need for release tearing through them.
Husky sensual cries fell from her lips as he
glimpsed the fingers of one hand clenching in the
sheets beneath her. Her back cushioned his chest as
he let his lips move to her shoulder. There, he
delivered a rough, sucking kiss that marred the flesh
with a reddened love bite.
No one else might ever see it, but she would. If
nothing else, she would be forced to acknowledge
that for at least a brief period of time she had
belonged to him.
At this moment in time, she was his. The tight, hot
depths of her sex, the pebble-hard nipple his fingers
found, the gasping, breathless little moans that fell
from her lips.
God yes, she was his.
“I feel you stroking your clit,” he growled at her
ear. “I’m going to get you some toys, Cami. A nice,
thick dildo, one that vibrates in that pretty pussy of
yours, and I’ll watch you use it. Then I’ll watch you
stroke your hard little clit. I’ll watch you pleasure
yourself, see the way your quick little fingers move
against the swollen little knot.”
She was whimpering, her cheek pressed to the
comforter. Her fingers moving faster against her clit.
Her pussy was clenching, fisting.
“And one night, I’ll show you exactly how much I
love your pretty ass,” he promised, the thought of it
causing his cock to throb harder, to feel thicker,
hotter, the need for release more imperative.
“I’ll stretch you there so sweet, Cami. I’ll watch as
you take my fingers, then a select toy or two, and
when the need for that pleasure, so close to the most
erotic pain you’ll ever know, overwhelms you, then I’ll
push my dick up that tight little ass and listen to you
scream for me.”
Harder. He was gasping for air himself as his
hips began pounding into her ass, pushing his dick as
