Needing Him (3 page)

His hands went to my hips and he lifted me gently to sit me on the center island.  I could feel the coolness of the quartz countertop under me.  His eyes were level with mine as he stepped between my legs, pushing my thighs apart to make room for him.  I wanted to talk to him, but I craved his touch more.

He leaned his head toward me.  Closing my eyes, I parted my lips waiting for his to meet mine only they didn’t.  Instead I felt them on my neck, feathering kisses along my skin.  He lifted my shirt off and discarded my lacy bra.  When I felt his tongue flick my sensitive nipple I moaned loudly.  My fingers threaded into his hair and I lightly dragged my nails over his skin.

His mouth left my breast and the next thing I knew I felt a wet finger brush over my lips.  I licked them on instinct and could taste tequila.  Doing it one more time, he didn’t give me the chance to lick it off.  His tongue glided over my top and bottom lips, removing the liquid from me.  My lips remained parted, inviting him into my mouth.  He didn’t hesitate.  His tongue swept through my mouth in a sensual and loving way.

The room spun from the lack of food that day combined with the tequila, but I let myself get washed away in his love and touch.  He pulled my body close to his so there was no space between us.  My ass was on the very edge of the counter and I could feel how hard he was between my legs.

Reaching down, I undid his belt and slacks.  He was still wearing his pilot uniform and damn if that didn’t turn me on even more.  I put my hand inside of his black boxer briefs and gripped his dick.  Our kiss intensified.  We went from slow to urgent in a matter of seconds.

He was pushing himself in and out of my hand as I began to work him up and down.  Strong hands reached around and under me to cup my still clothed ass.  My pilot lifted me off of the counter and sat me down on one of the cushioned bar stools along the center island.  He undid the button and zipper on my jeans.  I lifted my ass up so he could bring them down my legs and completely off of me.

Sitting back down, Radek gripped my calves and wrapped them around his waist.  I leaned back into the chair to give him better access.  One of his hands went to my pussy, testing my wetness.  He coated his hand with it and rubbed it all over his stiff cock.  A shudder went through me while I watched him touch himself.

He aimed and drove home in one swift movement.  The feel of him inside me was something I never tired of.  Each time felt like this was where and how we were supposed to be.  Our connection sizzled to life on his first thrust.

I leaned forward, wrapping my arms around his neck.  He needed to invade all of my senses.  I had to taste him, feel him, and smell his light cologne.  Cupping my butt again, he lifted me into the air and began to pound into me.  My breasts were bouncing, my hair was sticking to the sweat on my forehead, but I didn’t care how I looked.  I only cared how I felt.  I loved him with every molecule of my being.

“Kasi, baby, you have to hurry up.  I can’t hold back much longer.”

I was close, but not as close as he was.  “Just let go, don’t wait for me,” I said in between breaths.  Of course I wanted to get off, but I wanted to satisfy him more.

At my words, he came.  His body tensed and he released inside of me.  He stood there for a minute catching his breath.  Placing me on the bar stool, he pulled back and gazed into my eyes.  I could see a mischievous look in them.  “You didn’t come.  We can’t have that.”

My pilot dropped to his knees in front of me and latched his mouth onto my clit.  He sucked on me, causing me to cry out.  His tongue swirled over my swollen nub, hitting the right spot.  Before long I was calling his name and shaking with an intense orgasm.

He waited until I started to relax before removing his mouth from me.  Standing, he kissed me again, causing me to further meld into the chair.  My body and mind were relaxed.  For the first time all day, I felt good.

My time with Radek came and went quickly.  He was off on his next job and I was left in my house, thinking over and over again what I was going to do about Erin.  I told my pilot that I needed to contact Kai and Lee since the situation involved them as well.  It wasn’t only my secret that could be released.  The secret was Kai and Lee’s as well.

Radek didn’t seem happy about it, but I had no choice.  They needed to know.  I already wasted three days.  I only had four to go.

All I was doing was making a phone call, nothing more.  The more time that passed the more my nerves increased.  The clock was ticking.  I could only hope Erin was bluffing, but in the back of my mind I knew she wasn’t.

Picking up the phone, I found the name and number in my contact list that I could never forget.  Kai’s.  He had been an amazing friend most of my life and someone that I missed talking to.  Not missed in a boyfriend way, missed in a friend that knew me better than most and always had my back way.

The phone rang twice before a masculine voice came over the line.  “Well if it isn’t my favorite girl.”

“Hi Kai, long time no talk.”

“Shit, it’s been months since we last spoke.  What are you up to?  Still dating Radek?”

Of course he knew.  The entire world knew.  “Yes.  Things are going good.  Well, they were going good.  Do you have a few minutes to talk?”

“I don’t like the sound of that.  Do I need to kick his ass?”

Laughing, I said, “No, but there is someone’s ass that you do need to kick.”

I spent the next few minutes giving Kai a rundown of everything that had taken place.  He cursed various times throughout the story, asked me if I was okay, and overall showed a lot of concern.  I knew he would though.

“What do you want me to do, Kasi?  Name it and I’ll take care of it.”

“I don’t know.  How do I handle it?  I don’t appreciate being blackmailed by this bitch.  Even talking about it makes me sick.  I feel like I lost the baby just yesterday.  Everything has been brought to the front again.  I want it to stop.”

“I know.  Let me talk to Lee and try to figure this out.  I want to put a stop to this before she releases anything.  I never want to see you go through that kind of hurt again.”

“Me either.  I’ve been going over and over in my head how to stop her.  It’s not like she’s releasing false information.  It’s all true and I don’t know how the fuck she knows.”

“We need to brainstorm.  There has to be a way.  I’m not worried about me,” he said.  “I’m worried about you.  I remember how hard this was on you.  I know you don’t want your family to find out.  If the information was leaked, I wouldn’t care in all honesty.  People seem to expect me to sleep around, even if I don’t.  I know Lee wouldn’t care either.  You, you are who I need to protect.  If you don’t want this out there then I’ll do everything in my power to see it never is.”

I sniffled as a few stray tears left my eyes.  My bond with Kai would never fade.  We shared so much in our lives and with the pregnancy.  I knew he would do whatever it took to make me happy.  It was the kind of guy he was.  His friends were like his family and he treated them as such.

“Kasi, it’s going to be all right.  I’ll take care of it.  You’re not in this alone.  You have Lee and I.  How’s Radek taking it?”

“I’m not sure.  We spent the last few days together and while everything seemed normal I could sense something was off.  He wasn’t being his usual self.  He told me we would figure it out together, but something is definitely wrong.”

Off was an understatement.  He tried to act normal, but failed.  When I asked him if we were all right, he insisted we were.  I knew he loved me, but I wondered if he was as worried as much as I was.  I tried to plaster on a smile and be my normal self.  When I was alone, however, that’s when doubt crept in.  Could we put a stop to Erin?  Did Radek knowing about my pregnancy and my relationship with Kai change things between us?  I wished I knew.

“If he loves you, he’ll stand by you.”  I could hear someone calling Kai in the background.  “Listen, I have to go, but I’ll be in touch with you tomorrow okay?”

“Yeah, thank you for being there.  I really appreciate it.”

“Always.”

I spent the rest of the day lounging around the house, trying to think of a way to stop Erin.  I was exhausted from everything and ended up passing out on the couch for the night.  I woke in the morning to the buzzing sound of the intercom on my gate.  It took me a minute to get my bearings and figure out where I was.  I wasn’t used to waking up in my living room.  Ace was curled up on the floor in front of me.  He jumped up when I stood to go check the cameras along the fence.  I wasn’t expecting anyone so I couldn’t think of who it would be.  Radek wasn’t due back for a couple of days.

Looking at the screen that shows different camera angles, I saw a black limo at the gate.  The driver had the window rolled down.  What the hell?

“Hello, can I help you?”

“Yes, Ms. Markson, I have Kai Sabata in the car and he would like to see you.”

Kai?  I didn’t call him with the intent of getting him there.  Wait, what if it wasn’t Kai and some kind of trick?  “Kai, show yourself.”  I heard the limo driver say something and then a loud voice came through.

“Kasi, you better let me the hell up or I’ll jump this fence.”

I laughed.  It was definitely Kai.  “Then get your ass up here already.”

I pressed the button to allow the gates to open.  I also scanned the road and saw no paparazzi.  Good.  I ran upstairs to run a comb through my hair and brush my teeth.  Holy hell, I looked horrible.  You know, that just woke up, hair that looks like a rat’s nest, bad breath, wrinkled clothing look.  Yeah, I was rocking it.  Not that I needed to impress Kai, but I also didn’t want to look like shit and offend him with my breath.

I made it downstairs just in time to hear a knock on my front door.  I ran my fingers through my long, blonde hair one last time and smoothed out the shirt I threw on only seconds earlier.  I told Ace to lie down and to stay.

Opening the door, I saw Kai and he looked every bit of the rock god he was.  He had dark blond hair that was on the shorter, yet shaggy side, and blue eyes that sparkled in the sunlight.  He wore a plain black t-shirt and jeans that were torn in a few places.  On the leaner side, he was still fit.  Tattoos covered his arms and he wore a pair of black Timberland boots.

As my eyes made their way back to his face he smirked at me.  Yeah, even though we were only friends and I was happy with Radek, I checked him out.  How could I not?  Rock god, hello!  I might be in a committed relationship, but I wasn’t dead.  Plus, I knew every part of his body intimately.  I didn’t feel the same fire within that I usually did when I saw him.  Radek owned that fire now and was the only one who could raise the flames to dangerous heights.

Then it was Kai’s turn to look me over.  I was a slob compared to him.  He was all put together and I had found whatever clean clothes I could and threw them on.  Not even commenting on my appearance, he stepped forward and embraced me in a tight hug.  I shut my eyes and let my body relax against his.  I missed him.  I missed my friend.  We used to spend hours talking, laughing, and having a great time.

“What the hell, no love for me?” a gruff voice asked as I heard a car door shut.

“Lee, you came too?”

“Of course,” Lee said.  “Our girl needed us, so we came.”

My eyes became tear filled.  Damn, I had to get ahold of my emotions.  This crying shit had to stop.

Lee was Stars and Lies’ drummer and one of the nicest people I knew, although looking at him you wouldn’t think so.  He was a tall guy and muscular as hell.  Big and stocky was also a good way to describe him.  He worked out daily and it showed.  I referred to him as the unofficial Stars and Lies’ bodyguard.  Oh and he had one badass tattoo around his neck.  It was tribal art.  The black lines curved around his skin, ending in sharp points toward the back.  Most people took that to mean he was a nasty dude, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.  Never should you judge someone by their looks.

Today he was rocking a mohawk.  His dyed jet black hair was shaved on the sides and his mohawk was laying loose on top.  He changed his hair more than most women.

Moving in, he wrapped his big arms around Kai and I and squeezed until I couldn’t breathe.  “Lee, man, let me get some air,” I said in a whisper since that was all I could get out.

“Sorry love, got carried away.”

He released us and I wasn’t the only one who looked like they were fighting to breathe.  Kai shoved Lee away and took in a big gulp of air.

“What are you guys doing here?  Where is the rest of the band?”

Lee spoke first.  “We are in between stuff right now and actually have a week off, so here we are!  We wanted to get our Kasi fix while taking that Erin bitch down.  The rest of the guys went home to see their women.”

“Hopefully you two have a plan, because I’m coming up empty.”

I peered around them and saw their limo driver carrying two suitcases to the front door.  I asked him to wait for a minute so I could make sure Ace eased into his new visitors.  Wait, suitcases?  They were staying with me?  For a week!  Oh shit, that wasn’t going to go over well with my man.  Maybe I could talk them into staying at a hotel or something.

Once the bags were dropped off at the base of the stairs, the driver was tipped, and the dog was content with his new guests, we moved into the living room to talk.  I sat down in the chair across from my black leather couch while the guys sat and stretched out there.

“So, you’re staying here for a week?  Don’t you think you should have warned me?  Maybe Radek wouldn’t appreciate two men that I’ve slept with staying in my house.”

“Since when does our girl let a man rule her life?” Lee asked.

“Since never, but I do take his feelings into consideration.”

“Yeah well we haven’t met him yet and we need to make sure we approve,” Lee said, cracking his knuckles

I raised my eyebrow at him.  “I’m pretty sure I’m the only one that needs to approve of him.  You two don’t get a say in who I date.”

“I’m pretty sure you’re wrong.”  Lee was the kind of guy that meant well and you had to love, but could be overbearing.
