Paper Kisses (16 page)

“Ouch!”

His hand soothed the skin he’d just
slapped and then he backed away.
 
A
second later, she felt his head sliding between her spread thighs as he gripped
her and pulled her down to his mouth.
 
And
then he feasted on her.
 
He flicked her
clit in quick, repetitive motions, making her scream in pleasure.
 
She could feel her juices running and he
lapped it up, which was really hot.
 
He
sucked on the little bundle of nerves until she was squirming and panting and
begging for god only knows what.
 
More,
harder, faster, deeper…the words blended together as she hung on a precipice.
The pressure from the butt plug only intensified the feelings because this
aching full feeling deep inside had never been so sharp.
 
Her hips bucked as his fingers slid along her
seam, coaxing the lips apart so the top of his tongue could massage her clit in
little circles.
 
She could actually feel
the nub pulsate as the orgasm rose up and she couldn’t help but press down on
his face below her, which caused him to nip a little, just a tiny little stab
of pleasure-pain, but that’s what sent her over the edge.
 
She screamed his name as her release zinged
through her and she could’ve sworn she floated out of her body, but Sky
wouldn’t let up, just lapped at her eagerly licking up her cream.
 
Alannah couldn’t even collapse in a happy
heap because she was scared of smothering him.
 
All she could do was hang on as another climax began to slowly build up.

But before she could find another
plateau of bliss, he stopped, and she moaned her displeasure, wriggling her
hips.
 
She felt him scoot out from under
her and the bed dipped as he moved around.
 
When she heard the unmistakable tear of a condom wrapper her pussy began
leaking again and she waited, breathlessly, for him to mount her.
 
Oh god, did she want him to mount her.
 
She wanted his cock inside her so bad.
 
It was hard to believe she’d had the best sex
of her life the past couple of days and he still hadn’t fucked her normally.
 

But all that disappeared from her
brain as she felt the butt plug slowly slide out of her.
 
Then more goop and, oh god, his cock was
pressing against her back hole.
 
This was
never going to fit.
 
How’d he think his
big, hard dick was going to fit in that tiny back door?
 
Slowly, so very slowly, he worked his cock in
and out of her ass, moving only centimeters each time.
 
It was instinctual to tighten up but each
time he’d wait and rub, and she’d let out a breath and he’d slide in another
centimeter.

His fingers returned to her pussy
and one finger slid into her heat, then a second, and suddenly her senses
didn’t know how to process anything because every time he slid forward into her
ass his finger touched her special spot.
 
All she knew was that this wasn’t at all painful like last time.
 
In fact, as he slid deeper, she found the dual
sensations of having her pussy and her ass filled a very pleasurable
combination.

“Relax,” he murmured in
that
voice, that ‘do as I say’ tone, and
without thinking that’s what her body did.
 
And when she did, he slid all the way home.
 
“Yes, that’s it.
 
Baby, your ass feels so amazing.
 
So tight.
 
God!”

He fucked her gently at first, in
and out, almost delicately.
 
Alannah groaned
and that seemed to be the starter on his mower.
 
Faster and faster Sky drilled into her and she heard his ragged breathing.
 
Knowing he was so turned on was a huge turn
on for her and it made her let go of all her inhibitions.
 

“Fuck me, Sky!” she cried out.
 
“So good, so good.
 
Yes, harder.
 
Play with my pussy!”

“Seeing my cock up your ass is so
beautiful,” he ground out.
 
Sweat was
dripping off both their bodies and she knew she wasn’t going to last much
longer, not when his fingers were fucking her in time with his dick.

“I’m going to come,” she gasped
just before her orgasm ripped through her.
 
She felt herself gush again but this time she didn’t care.
 
This was so hot, so intense, and it just kept
going on and on.
 

“Alannah!”
Sky moaned just as she felt him swell in her ass.
 
He buried himself deep just as he poured
himself into the latex barrier.
 
Jet
after jet he jerked.
 
She didn’t know a
man could come so much but finally he collapsed on top of her.
 
Her legs were jelly and she fell forward,
onto her stomach.

It took a few minutes for them to
get their breaths back but once he did, Sky moved off her and undid her
handcuffs.
 
Then he untied her blindfold
and pulled her into his arms.
 
She lay on
his chest, staring at the far wall, in complete shock that she’d loved what
just happened so much.
 
Sky had been
right.
 
It all depended on the
partner.
 
If sex had been like this with
her ex she never would’ve turned to her vibrator.
 

The reminder that she was leaving
day after tomorrow made her really sad. How could she possibly give this
up?
 
Was it just good sex or was it the
chemistry between her and Sky, because whenever she was with him she felt like
she could breathe easier.
 
It had always
been like that with him.
 
It was one of
the reasons why she could always talk to him.
 

“What’re you thinking?” he asked.

“That I’m going to miss this,” she
answered.
 
“I’ve never felt so close to
anyone and I have a feeling I’ll never find this again.”

“What’s between us is so good,
Alannah.
 
Better than my fantasies ever
were.
 
I wish you’d trust in me.”

She wished she could trust in herself.

Chapter Ten

“Don’t you have to go to work?”
Alannah murmured as the day’s early dawn light began to trickle into the
room.
 
She and Sky lay on their sides,
not touching, but staring at each other.
 

“Yes,” he said.
 
“But I can be late.
 
There are privileges for being boss.”

They’d woken up almost
simultaneously by some deep sense that kept them connected and in tune with
each other.
 
It felt weird but nice.
 

“You work every day?”

“Yes.
 
I’m the sheriff.
 
But that doesn’t mean I don’t get time off
when or if I need it.”

“Is your job dangerous?”

“In Dexter?
 
Most of the time I’m
dealing with drunk drivers and underage drinking.
 
There’ve been a few robberies, home
invasions.
 
Fights.
 
Petty drugs.
 
Shit like that.”

“Shit like that can still hurt
you.”

“You’re right.
 
But I did go to the law enforcement academy,
so I know how to handle myself.”

“You did?
 
After
Mizzou
?”

“Yep.
 
You can’t be a cop without the
accreditation.”

“Yeah.
 
I remember
CeeCee
saying something like that.”

“You went to design school.”

It wasn’t a question, but Alannah
answered it like it was.
 
“Yes.”

“You met your ex there.”

Again, it wasn’t a question.
 
But she wanted to explain it to him.
 
“Yes.
 
When I met him I thought
,
there’s a man not
anything like my father.
 
He was
slick.
 
He was polished.
 
He had ambition.
 
Looking back, now, I can tell myself that at
that time in my life, in that mental state, he was what I needed.”
“It almost killed me when I found out you were getting married,” he told her
quietly.
 
“The day of your wedding was
the day I got into the accident.”

Oh,
wow.
 
Talk about fucking karma
.
 
“What was her name?”

He knew the person she was talking
about.
 
“Caroline.”

“That’s beautiful.”

“She was a beautiful woman.”

 
“Do you have this type of relationship with
Linda?”

One eyebrow
quirked up.
 
“Do you mean do I tie
her up?
 
No.
 
I’ve never revealed my kink to anyone.
 
Besides Caroline, of
course.
 
And now
you.”

That surprised her.
 
“Why me?”

He didn’t answer her right
away.
 
He just gazed into her eyes and
she could see he was trying to put the words together.
 
“When Caroline would tie me up everything
melted away.”

“Yes!” she exclaimed.
 
“That’s exactly right.
 
It’s euphoric.”

“Yes.
 
It’s also euphoric to be the person tying
someone up.”

“But you said you don’t do that to
your lovers.”

“Once a month I drive to St. Louis
to a club I joined.
 
I teach a class.”

“You teach a class?”

“Yes.
 
I’d love to take you with me as my
assistant.”

“Doing that
shi
thing.”

He smiled.
 
“
Shibari
.
 
Yes.”

This man lying in front of her was
so different from the young man she’d known in high school.
 
Sky back then was brash, rash, and prone to
fights.
 
He didn’t hesitate to take a
dare or do something impulsive.
 
She
remembered he’d once stripped down to his boxers and jumped from a bridge into
a body of water known for the snakes.
 

“What’s on your mind?” he asked.

“I just can’t believe I’m lying
here like this, with you.
 
My best friend.”

“I would’ve been right there all
along had you just said the word.”

“I never wanted to ruin our
friendship,” she admitted.
 
“And besides,
you needed to meet Caroline, just as I needed to meet Bryce.
 
They changed our lives, made us better.”

“
He
made you better?”

She didn’t miss the frost in his
question.
 
“Yes,” she answered
firmly.
 
“Sky, I had such a clear notion
of what I thought I wanted and who I thought I wanted to be that nothing could
have swayed me.
 
If we’d gotten together
twelve years ago, it would’ve been a disaster because we were both immature
back then.
 
We needed to grow and find
out the type of people we were meant to be.”

“I still don’t like that you think
he made you better.”

“Let me rephrase.
 
He didn’t make me better but the
circumstances did.”

She saw that he was thinking about
that, and then he spoke.
 
“Okay.
 
I get that.
 
It doesn’t take the sting out of knowing you married another man.”
“Whom was I supposed to marry?”

“Me,” he answered and that took all
the wind out of her sails.
 
“There’s a
connection between us that pulls us together.
 
It always has.
 
You must feel it.”

“Yes,” she whispered.
 
“But I still have that fear.
 
What if we fail?
 
What if all this collapses upon us?”

“What we have is good, Alannah.”

“I’m not saying it isn’t.”

“Then what?
 
I don’t know what to say.
 
I don’t know what you need to hear from
me.
 
All I know is that I don’t want to
let you go.”

“I’m afraid you’ll walk away from
me.”

“Don’t you think you have that
backwards?” he
asked,
a bit waspish.
 
“You left me.”

She sighed.
 
She deserved that, she supposed.
 
But it was time to put that behind her. “I
deserved that.
 
I’m sorry.
 
Forgive me?”

“Of course,” he replied
immediately, and the irritation left his voice.
 
“I forgave you the day you roared back into town.”

“I’m sorry I hurt you, Sky,” she
whispered.
 

“You were right,” he murmured.
 
“We needed to become the people we are now.”

She smiled at him.

“What are you going to do today
while I’m at work?”
