This Love's Not for Sale (24 page)

“Tucker…” she whispered, knowing his familiar touch.

“Yes, pet, I’m here.”

His voice was quiet
and soothing, but all too real. Lilliana pried her eyes open to see Tucker kneeling next to her, only inches away from her face. She froze, her mind incapable of understanding the serene yet needy look in his eyes.

“How did you get in?” she whispered.

“You left the door unlocked. You should be more careful with that.”

Tucker’s eyes scanned her face,
then his fingers curved under her chin and fluttered to her neck. As soon as his long fingers touched the warmth of her flesh, she felt safe.

Lilliana squared her shoulders and her body stiffened. “Why are you here?”

“Stop being so God damned willful. I want you. How many ways do I have to say it?”

Lilliana
’s body sank back into the couch and she picked at an imaginary fleck of dirt on his shirt to avoid his stern gaze, but his firm touch brought her chin up. A shiver of wanting ran through her at the desirous flame burning in Tucker’s eyes.

“I shouldn’t have been so shitty to you in front of my brother. I just didn’t want to have to explain things to my parents if things don’t work out.”

Tucker’s words were heartfelt. Lilliana remembered how she had once told him he didn’t need to explain his actions, but she was glad he had anyway. The heat his body was emanating was overwhelming and Lilliana thrust her fingers into his thick hair, pulling his mouth near to hers. Her heart hammered in her ears as his lips inched closer. Tucker’s mouth covered her lips hungrily and he thrust his searching tongue into her mouth. Lilliana moaned her approval as he nibbled her bottom lip.

Tucker pulled away gently only to recapture her mouth again, more demanding than before. His lips seared a path down her neck to her shoulders as he continued to explore her b
ody with his mouth. Tucker tore and fumbled with her tank top, revealing her full breasts. His lips teased the tightened pink buds of her nipples as he rolled them through his teeth, pulling them to a point while his hands roamed her body for pleasure points.  Impatiently, he forced a hand into her sweat pants and past her panties. Digging his fingers into her wet pussy, his tongue flicked down her ribs to her stomach.

“So wet…” Tucker whispered against
her navel.

Tucker’s fingers moved in out at a slow pace, each thrust deeper than the one before. He tilted his head and his eyes rested on the movement of his hand as he tried to lift the fabric of her pants to see her mound.

Lilliana lifted herself on her elbows to watch the show, too.  Tucker raised his head and smiled up Lilliana.

“Do you have any idea how beautiful you are, Lilly?”

No, she didn’t, but she took delight in the fact that Tucker believed it and that was enough for her. Tucker removed his hand and brought his fingers to Lilliana’s lips and slicked them across her mouth. She glided her tongue over her lips, tasting her own salty juices. Tucker’s gaze dropped from Lilliana’s eyes to her mouth and he offered her a sudden, heart-stopping smile before claiming her mouth once more. His tongue darted in and out of her mouth, teasing her relentlessly as his large, strong hands tortured her body with their slow caresses. There was a tingling that started in her toes and worked its way up to the pit of her belly where it settled and throbbed. She ached for his cock to be in her and she dug her fingers into his shoulders to relay her unspoken message.

“Do you want me, Lilly
?” Tucker breathed into her open and panting mouth.

Lilliana couldn’t stop the needy and desperate words from pouring out of her.
“Yes, yes… God, yes.”

He lifted an eyebrow at her. “Do you still think we’re wrong for each other?”

“Absolutely. Without a doubt. But I still want you,” she moaned.

“
You’re wrong and I’m done playing fucking games with you. I want you – all of you. I’m taking you home and fucking you the way you were meant to be fucked, and prove to you once and for all that you and I are right for each other.”

Lilliana’s heart jolted and her pulse pounded in her veins.
Unable to think straight, she shook her head and fisted her hair trying to clear her thoughts. Tucker’s arrogance was vexing but she knew there was no point in denying what she absolutely couldn’t get enough of – his touch.

***

Tucker stood, his stiff dick begging to be freed from his pants. He hauled Lilliana off the couch and into his arms. With Lilliana’s still unpacked bag in tow, Tucker led her to his car.

The drive to his house was uncomfortable because of his hard-on and he shifted every few seconds trying to readjust
himself. His gaze kept returning to Lilliana’s body again and again as she leaned her seat back and watched him lustfully. Her green flecked eyes bore into him in silent expectation of what was about to take place. Her aura radiated pure sex appeal and it was drawing Tucker like a magnet. Lilliana’s hands wandered over her own body, over her breasts, caressing her thighs and running her palms over her stomach as if she was powerless to resist her own touch.

“That’s it, play with yourself
, Lilly. Prime that pussy for me,” Tucker ordered.

Lilliana snuck a hand into her sweat pants and began to finger herself, her eyes traveling over Tucker’s face and searchi
ng his eyes for approval as her shallow breaths fluttered past her lips. Tucker moved his free hand under her tank top and massaged a breast; pinching her nipple harshly and making Lilliana mewl and hiss.

He was having a difficult time concentrating as his eyes fixed on the movement of her hand inside her pants. When they came to rest at a stop light, Tucker
crept his hand lower into Lilliana’s panties and over her own hand, guiding her movements.

The light turned green and a horn blared behind them, prompting them to move along. Tucker pulled his h
and out and Lilliana whined, her eyes imploring Tucker to hurry. Tucker was beside himself and about ready to crawl right out of his skin in his rush to get her into his time-out room. He wanted her bound, wet and ready for his taking.

Lilliana must’ve sensed his thoughts because she swiftly unbuckled her seat belt and buried her face in
his neck as she reached her arms around his shoulders.

“You drive me insane, Tucker
McGrath. Damn you for being so irresistible.”

Tucker chuckled and groaned when she slipped her tongue into the shell of
his ear and nipped on his lobe.

Tucker’s hands squeaked tightly over the leather steering wheel as Lilliana’s mouth roamed over his neck and she sunk her teeth into
his salty flesh.

“Mmm, Tucker…” she moaned.

Her hand gripped his cock through his pants, making Tucker lose focus and swerve the car dangerously near the center line. Lilliana proceeded to unzip his slacks and thrust her hand inside to jack him off.

The fierce kneading
of his cock sent currents of desire throughout Tucker and his vision became blurred. Again the Maserati veered off, this time towards the shoulder, forcing Tucker to pull Lilliana’s hand out of his pants.

“We’re almost there. I don’t want to end up injured on the side of the road with a raging hard-on. Fuck, the
papers would love to print that.”

Lilliana giggled and smoothed her mussed hair. “I know I would.”

Only a few minutes later they arrived and Tucker and Lilliana practically fell over each other to get inside his house, leaving her bag to be dealt with later. Tucker fumbled with his keys, too anxious to steady his hands. Lilliana took them from him and unlocked the door, eager to get inside.

She bashfully looked up at Tucker and smiled guiltily. “I’m not topping
you, I’m just helping you out.”

Tucker puckered his lips and fought back the smile that was threatening to break free.

Once inside, Tucker made his wishes clear. “Wait for me in the time-out room, naked, on your knees.”

He had to prepare himself
mentally before he could deal with Lilliana. He was keyed up and feared that his extreme arousal would lead to a quick ending to their encounter. He wanted to enjoy Lilliana for as long as he could hold out and he knew by keeping her waiting, it would make their experience all the more intense.

After stripping down in his bedroom, he
put on a plush black robe, and retrieved some condoms from his nightstand. Tucker made his way to Lilliana, opening the door slowly. To his absolute astonishment, Lilliana had done exactly as she was told. Standing in the open doorway, he watched her as she waited on her knees. She hadn’t seen him and her eyes were roving around the room, taking everything in.

Tucker
opened his robe and stepped inside, closing the door softly and dimming the lights. Lilliana’s eyes met his, but slowly and seductively her gaze moved downward to his cock. Something intense flared in her pupils as they darted back to his. She wanted him and he could feel her longing it as filled the room and encircled his body.

Moving directly in front of Lilliana, he touched the top of her head and
spoke his praises. “You look so good on your knees in this room Lilly; even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. It’s as if you’ve belonged here your entire life – at my feet and waiting for my command.”

“I like being on my knees for you, Tuck. No… I love being on my knees for you.” Lilliana stated purposefully seductive.

“I know you do, pet, and I love see you there.”

Tipping her head back, Lilliana peered at his face and smiled
the kind of smile that told him she was content, satisfied, and happy to be under his rule. Tucker held his hand out and Lilliana placed hers into his. He tugged on it, standing her up and nodding towards the cross. Lilliana’s eyes widened and her breathing became ragged and shallow.

“No worries, pet…
baby steps,” Tucker reassured her, trying to put her at ease. He wanted her to enjoy their time together without fear and to accept the things that would bring her ecstasy and pleasure.

Tucker backed her up to the large wood structure and tapped the inside of her ankle with his foot, widening her step. He bent down in front of her while keeping his eyes locked onto hers and gently shackled her ankles loosely. Tucker’s heart was beating
unevenly in his chest as he moved up her body. He felt a ripple of excitement when he saw the fascination in Lilliana’s eyes as he neared her mouth. He leaned in and placed a delicate kiss on the corner of her mouth as his hands skimmed down her arms to her wrists. Slowly, he brought her hands above her head as his mouth ghosted her neck. Without looking, he slipped her hands into the leather cuffs that were already latched. They were far too loose to be effective, but Tucker wanted Lilliana to feel safe and with them being unrestricting, she could slip them out at any point if she so desired. It would have to do for now until she became more comfortable with her surroundings, and gave herself over to him completely.

“You can say stop at any point and this will all end.”

“Even us?” Lilly asked despondently.

Tucker
felt a certain degree sadness to her response. Is that what she thought? That if she didn’t give into him he would end things? He studied her terrified eyes and ran his index finger over her over her mouth.

“No. If you want me t
o simply make love to you, I will, and it won’t mean the end of us.”

“But that’s not what you want, is it?”

“It’s not the only thing I want. But I want you.”

Lilliana’s
body relaxed, her breathing slowed, and her face took on a brightness that was vibrant and enthusiastic. “Then let’s find out if I’m going to like this or not, shall we?” she whispered.

Lilliana’s
invitation was hard to resist. Tucker wanted to make damn sure Lilliana was going to experience everything he had to offer, and make it so she would never want another man’s touch ever again.

“Challenge accepted,” Tucker
smirked and his voice broke with huskiness. “I’m going to fuck you like you’ve never been fucked before, pet. I’m going to leave you unable to think and vulnerable, and open to accept my will. I’m going to ravage you and make it impossible for any other man to satisfy you the way I will. I’m going to make you feel things that no other man has and you’ll want no other after I’m done with you. I know you think I’m being arrogant, and perhaps I am, but I fully intend to keep my word without a care for how challenging that statement may be and no matter how long it will take. This will be no small undertaking because of the walls you’ve built up, but I promise you, Lilly, before the night is through: I. Will. Ruin. You.”

The prolonged anticipation of being i
n the small room alone with Tucker was almost unbearable, and Lilliana squirmed uncomfortably against the wooden cross.
Ruined
… it was a powerful word. Is that what she truly wanted to be? Tucker’s stare was bold and confident as he assessed her frankly. His gaze raked over her face and dropped from her eyes to her mouth to her breasts as he took in every needy and tingling inch of her. Hell, yes, she wanted Tucker to wreck her. It was as if Tucker had unlocked some deep dark part of her soul that she didn’t know existed as she stood waiting for whatever it was he wanted to do to her body.

Tucker moved to the wall of belts
and pulled down a short-length, black flogger. The handle was braided decoratively and the leather looked soft, supple, and had the appearance of being worn. He looped the end of the handle over his wrist and swung it in small circles as he stalked toward Lilliana. The air around Tucker crackled with sexual electricity, and when Tucker spoke, Lilliana’s heart lurched into her throat and her breath left her.

“Whatever shall I do with you, Lilliana Norris? You’ve been such a naughty girl, perhaps now I should teach you how to hold that sharp tongue of yours. Would you like that?”

Lilliana’s mouth became parched and she could barely speak, and her body suddenly felt heavy and warm. She nodded slowly.

“Say it, Lilly. Say you’ve been a bad girl and deserve to be punished.”

Tucker’s brown eyes became pitch black and a shiver ran down Lilliana’s spine.
Who the hell was this man? It certainly wasn’t the same Tucker she had been with the previous weekend. Yes, he had the same confident aura and alluring authority, but the Tucker standing before her was his deliciously wicked and frighteningly naughty doppelganger. Lilliana’s heartbeat throbbed in her ears and her eyes were riveted to his mouth.

“I’m waiting, pet, and you know how I feel about that… don’t you?” Tucker’s voice dropped an octave.

“Yes, Tuck. I’ve been a very naughty girl,” Lilliana was finally able to say in a fragile and timid whisper.

Tucker lifted his right
brow at her mischievously. “And?”

Was he really going to make her say it? Tucker
glided over to Lilliana and swished the flogger lightly over the tops of her thighs. Lilliana became startled at the motion even though there was no pain involved.

Tucker’s voice was
low, thick and uncompromising when he spoke his command. “Say. It.”

Recovering from
her unwarranted panic, Lilliana answered almost inaudibly, “I deserve to be punished.”

Tucker
intuited Lilliana’s anxiety and gave her a smile that warmed her insides, and she knew at that moment that he wasn’t going to hurt her.

“I’m not a violent man nor a
m I sadist, Lilly, and I’ll never punish you in anger, so put your mind at ease. You’ll only experience your first time once, so relax and soak up all the sensations you’re about to feel.”

Lilliana tried to rein in her nervous energy but it was a futile effort. She was too tense. The bindings on her wrists were so loose-fitting that her hands kept slipping out
due to the dampness of her sweat. It had been a polite and welcome gesture that Tucker had allowed them to be that way, but they were proving ineffective and Lilliana wanted to experience true restraint.

Just as Tucker began to load some music on the stereo, she made her simple request.

“Tuck?”

Tucker turned his head, looking over his shoulder at her.

“Can you tighten these, please?”

Facing Lilliana, Tucker’s mouth parted and his eyes
flared, and Lilliana knew she had spoken exactly what he wanted to hear. Approaching her slowly and deliberately, Tucker adjusted the leather cuffs to a comfortable yet snug fit. His breath fluttered past her cheeks as his hands moved skillfully and quickly.

Stepping back, Tucker inspected his handiwork. “That’s much better and more suited for a disobedient little thing such as
yourself. Now there’s nowhere for you to run, is there?” he winked waywardly.

Lilliana’s eyes rounded, her pulse skittered
, and she suddenly felt like Little Red Riding Hood who had been tricked by the Big Bag Wolf.

Lilliana closed her eyes and l
et the sounds of Ellie Goulding,
Lights,
penetrate her senses and drown out the sounds of her own heart ringing in her ears. She began to drift when the sudden sting of leather seared across her belly. She hadn’t been prepared for it and shrieked from surprise. Her eyes popped open and she looked down at her belly expecting to see blood spewing in all directions, but was pleased to see only faint pink stripes as a remnant of what had just happened.  The skin warmed and tingled, and moved down to her groin.

“That was for accusing me of wanting you for
only a booty call.” One side of Tucker’s mouth lifted in a roguish smile. “These next swats are just for pleasure.”

Tucker brought the flogger up again and
began a barrage of light flicks on her upper thighs, reddening her flesh. Lilliana twisted and churned her body against the wood as she tried to adjust to the slightly painful heat emanating from her upper legs. Her arousal was piquing and her breathing and heart rate sped up.

“Deep breaths, Lilly; s
low it down. Listen to the sound of your heart beating and try and focus on something, like my eyes or mouth. Watch them,” Tucker instructed.

Lilliana did exactly as she was told and when she did, it was as if time grinded to a halt as she immersed herself in the scene.
The leather flashed over her body – her stomach, thighs and breasts, over and over. After several minutes a strange sensation she was unfamiliar with wrapped itself around her like a warm blanket, and her body felt weightless and as if she was floating on a cloud.

Tucker
dropped the flogger to the floor and began to massage and knead her breasts as he kissed and sucked at her neck, bringing the blood to the surface. Lilliana’s skin was over-sensitized and she writhed uncomfortably against Tucker’s assuage.

Suddenly
Lilliana’s arousal turned to icy fear as she teetered on the edge of losing control. Tucker’s smell, contact and nearness were overpowering all her senses as she drifted in and out of reality. She didn’t know what was happening to her. She wanted more of his touch, more of the fire he was kindling in her, and more of the thunderous wanting he had awakened within her, but her breathing became erratic and her pulse slammed in her veins as panic twisted itself around her heart. The invisible cloud that she had been floating on faded and her mind and body went into freefall.

“I’
m falling!” Lilliana cried loudly as she wrenched against the leather cuffs, trying to free herself.

Tucker’s fingers laced with Lilliana’s and he smashed her with the weight of his body against the cross.

“I’ll catch you, Lilly,” Tucker calmly breathed into her ear. “Let yourself go. Let it all go and fly, pet. Fly…”

He slid two fingers into her wet depths and leisurely
eased them in and out. Her mind struggled with what was happening to her, but she drank in the comfort of his closeness. Tucker paused to slide on a condom, then returned to her mouth to dip his tongue inside and whisper his adoration for every inch of her body.

He
began assaulting her pussy again more fervently with his shaft, and the warm feeling of orgasm began to fill her lower belly. He intertwined his fingers with Lilliana’s again he ground into her. His breath was hot and ragged as he leaned into Lilliana’s ear. A glistening layer of sweat slicked both their bodies as they fucked intensely, and Lilliana licked the crook of his ear, wanting to taste his salty skin.  Her whimpering cries sounded foreign to her ears and after only a few minutes, all her blood surged to her pussy as warm and cold chills signaled her release. Lilliana unconsciously arched into Tucker as her body began to explode with fiery sensations.

“
Can you feel how right we are for each other, Lilly?”

Lilliana thrashed her head in denial. No, she wouldn’t admit it. Not to Tucker and not to herself.

“Stop denying this thing between us. It’s real, it’s tangible, and undeniable. We belong together.”

Tucker thrust fiercely into Lilliana, mercile
ssly, trying to force an admission out of her.

“No,” Lilliana choked out.

“You’re bound and at my mercy, and still you’re fucking obstinate. What am I going to do with you, Lilliana?”

Tucker pulled out of her and kneeled in front of her. He thrust his fingers into her and relentlessly began to finger her s
wollen G-spot. Lilliana shouted random words and thrust her hips forward instinctively. Smothering her clit with his mouth, Tucker sucked at it viciously and rolled it between his teeth. Lilliana began to float up above herself as her body heated to an unbearable temperature and she screamed, ear-piercingly loud.

“
Say my name. Scream it for the neighbors to hear. Tell the world how right we are for each other,” Tucker demanded, his voice muffled against her pussy.

“Tuck…er!” Her voice cracked
as her body shuddered against Tucker’s embrace and she came, soaking the front of Tucker’s chest. Lilliana closed her eyes and flew high up and far away to some other place.

Tucker’s
stood again and buried his cock deep inside of her. His rhythm increased briefly, and he suddenly stilled, grunted and clasped Lilliana’s hands tightly as he came.

A deep sigh of elation escaped Lilliana’s lips
, and her body went limp and began its descent. Tucker had broken through her walls and left her bare and defenseless, but still… she had never felt so free. She soared to an even greater height than before and to a place that she never knew existed.

Tucker had kept his word: He ha
d ruined her - utterly and totally. No other man would suffice and she both adored and hated him for it. What if things didn’t work out? Then what?

The effects of Tucker’s gentle savagery had left her an emotional mess as her body shook
uncontrollably. Now, wondering if this thing with Tucker would last was too much of a strain on her fragile psyche. It sent her over the edge and she broke down completely, crying, sobbing and wailing as the tears streamed down her flushed cheeks.

Tucker
unshackled her and lifted her into his arms, holding her so close, he squeezed the breath out her.

“Let it all out
, Lilly,” he whispered in her ear.

She had no choice to but let it all go. Everything Adam had ever done to her and the way he made her feel self-conscious and defensive was erased by Tucker’s strong hands and overpowering touch. Tucker made it all go away. Lilliana knew that if Tucker broke her heart, too, she would never recover.

“Don’t leave me,” she choked out, trying to stifle her cries.

***

Lilliana was still coming down from her post-sex high and Tucker knew she didn’t realize what she was saying. Still, at that moment, his heart beat only for her. He was too emotion-filled to reply back, so he simply carried her the distance back to his bed. She hid her face in his neck as her cries slowly died down. His legs were weak and he just wanted to lie next to her and hold her close, but he managed to get to the restroom to retrieve some wet washcloths to clean them both up. When he returned to Lilliana she was propped up against his headboard, her knees pulled up to her chest.

“I’m sorry I said that,” she stated softly with only her eyes peering out at him.

Tucker gently wiped her tear streaked cheeks clean. Next, he pushed her legs apart and cleaned in between her legs. When he was finished, he laid her back down and pulled the bed sheet up over her, and finally addressed her.

“That kind of
intense bonding brings out the sort of feelings we normally hide, so don’t ever be sorry for what you say in that room. I like it when your walls come down; it shows me who you really are.”

Lilliana was pensive and quiet for several minutes. Her eyes drifted off and she stared at the bedroom lights before finally speaking. Her voice was soft and delicate, and her eyes came into sharp focus on Tucker’s face.

“That was some powerful shit. Like mind and pussy-numbing, fuckilepsy inducing, reproductive organ-exploding powerful. You really are some kind of flogger wielding sex God.”

And just like that,
unfiltered, witty and sarcastic Lilly was back. Tucker stared a moment before bursting into a peal of laughter.

“I’m glad to hear you enjoyed yourself
. Speaking of reproductive organs… we need to get you on the pill. I detest condoms; they rob me of my mojo.”

Lilliana’s smile faded and she chewed the corner of her lip fretfully. “I’m already on birth control.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Lilliana sat up and threw the sheet to the side as she climbed out of bed. “
You didn’t ask. Anyway, condoms do more than prevent pregnancy,” she replied as she unsteadily rose from the bed.

“I’m aware of that, but I’m not sleeping with anyone else.”
