“What’s that supposed to mean?” Her eyes widened and he responded by unzipping his jeans. The haughtier she became, the more he wanted to fuck her.

“Belle, you take half an hour to arrange the flowers. Most people just plunk them into water and enjoy them.” Off came the jeans and his boxers.

“You can enjoy them more if they’re arranged in some semblance of order. If the shorter flowers are in the center you can’t see them. Where’s the enjoyment in that?” Her breath came out in a huff as he leaned down and bit a nipple.

“I love your tits. Probably because you rarely wear a bra and they’re free beneath those silky shirt things you wear beneath your sweaters and stuff. Sometimes I just watch you to catch sight of a jiggle. And then I come home and jerk off thinking about that. I’ve got it bad, Belle.” He fought a grin but she didn’t win her battle and even threw in an eye roll as she snickered.

“They’re very small. I wear bras at work of course. I can’t very well
jiggle
around my co-workers. And you’re changing the subject.” She moaned softly as he sucked a nipple into his mouth, gentle at first and then harder until she jerked, her nails digging into his biceps to hold him in place.

When he’d had his fill, for the moment, he pulled back so he could see her face again. “They’re beautiful. Beauty isn’t about size. They fit you, they’re just right for your body.”

“So, you watched my boobs and masturbated? When? You know, Rafe, it would have been nice if you’d told me about this a few years ago. Do you know how frustrated I am when I get home from visits here?”

“The sway of these luscious little beauties would make my cock so damned hard it made me want to hit something. I’d spend all day long thinking about what color your nipples were, what shape and then by the time I got home I’d have to head straight for the shower. When you didn’t come here at all this year, I missed you, even if nothing www.samhainpublishing.com

happened between us, I missed you. Now,” he settled on the bed, facing her, “I think you should tell me about what you thought about and show me how you touch yourself.”

“Do you want the fifteen-year-old version or the twenty-eight-year-old version?

They’re very different. For instance, when I was younger, I used to think about you coming into my room, late at night after you and Brian had gotten back from wherever the heck you two got off to. You’d sneak in and crawl over me, kiss me to wake me up.”

Her legs parted and she slipped one hand between them while the other palmed a nipple.

He watched, ensnared as she wet her fingers in her mouth and traced them around a glistening nipple.

“And the last time you…”

“Fingered myself?”

He nearly choked. “Honey, there’s a naughty girl inside you, isn’t there?”

She nodded slowly. “Woman. I haven’t been a girl in a very long time. But to answer your question, yes. The last time I used you to make myself come, I was in my shower.

God, after a fifteen-hour day. I have a waterproof vibrator and I soaped myself up, thinking of you, thinking of your hands all over me.”

She arched, widening her thighs and he saw the evidence of just how naughty she was.

“Go on.” He closed a fist around his cock, stroking slowly as he watched one of her hands move down her belly. Her eyes locked with his as she spread her labia open, leaving her middle finger free. His entire body froze as her finger disappeared inside her pussy and pulled free, slick with her honey.

Her voice caught as she began to tease her clit. “I have no willpower when it comes to orgasms, Rafe,” she whispered. “I always wish I could tease myself but I never can wait. I thought about you bending me forward, putting my hands on the tile, moving my feet apart and slamming your cock into my cunt, hard. I’d want to play with my nipples but I had to hold on because you fuck into me so hard. But I’m whimpering…” And she whimpered a moment, a sound laced with need as she sped her movement on her clit, her hips churning.

“Christ, Belle.” His balls crawled up close to his body and he had to let go of his cock or he’d blow.

“You reach around and touch my clit while you fuck me. You say the most incredible things in my ear and when I start to come, you only thrust harder because my pussy is grabbing you, making you hot, pushing you to come with me.”

Her eyes fluttered closed and she pinched her nipple harder as the muscles in her wrist corded while she worked her clit. A charming, sexy flush swam up her body from the tips of her French manicured toes to her gorgeous tits. She blew out a breath and a long moan as she came.

Her scent flooded his senses and unable to resist, he grabbed her wrist and brought her fingers to his mouth, licking them as she watched, her lips parted.

“Well now, Belle Taylor, you’re a big surprise, aren’t you?”

She smiled slow and sexy and flopped back to the mattress. “I guess so.”

Belle looked her fill at him, still kneeling above her. He was unbelievably perfect, her fantasy come true. Never before had she freed all the stuff reeling through her head during sex. Sure she organized her shoes by heel height but she preferred sex raw and for want of a better word, dirty. But she rarely got it that way because the men she ended up with saw her outward control and calm and thought she’d be the same way in bed.

“Whatever are you thinking about, Belle?” The smile that took the corner of his mouth made her wet all over again.

“You were going to tell me about what you think about while getting yourself off.”

“Ah, just so.”

“But I want you here, straddling me. I want to see it close up.” She indicated where she wanted him and he shrugged, moving and settling over her upper thighs, the heat of his balls resting against her mound.

“I can feel how wet your pussy is against my balls. Jesus.” She watched the up and down movement of his Adam’s apple before he went on. “I love the way you move. So precise. Most people just bumble through life but you, Belle, you always move like you have a plan. That’s so sexy. But underneath that military precision, there’s that sway of www.samhainpublishing.com

those juicy little breasts. I think about what it feels like when the soft cotton of your shirt brushes over your nipples. Does it turn you on? I wondered how sensitive they were.

What they tasted like.”

He took his cock in his fist and slowly began to stroke himself, never taking his eyes from hers.

“I’d find you outside, it would be late summer. The night would be that sort of purple just before dark fell fully. It’d be quiet, air would be sweet from the trees, we’d hear buzzing bees and the sound of water. I’d approach you from behind and slowly take off your shirt and I’d finally see your breasts. I’d lay you down and…fuck this.” Rafe moved down her body, pushing her thighs apart. “I don’t need to tell you my damned fantasy, you’re here, naked and your scent is making me crazy. You are my fantasy come true, Belle.”

Feeling ridiculously pleased, she watched as he grabbed a condom and rolled it on.

She reached down and spread her pussy open for him, waiting.

“Damn it, you’re so fucking sexy,” he muttered as he wasted no more time and began to press into her body with his cock, spreading her body apart as he filled her completely.

She allowed her eyes to droop as the exquisite sensation of being impaled on his cock settled into her system. He was nice and thick and it’d been eight months since she’d had sex with anyone not silicone. He hissed as she moaned, shifting her thighs up, angling her hips to take him deeper.

“This first time, I want to be face to face, but later, I’m going to fuck you from behind. Maybe in the shower with your hands on the tiles.”

Her breath caught as a flash of her fantasy came to her. Only he was real. Hard and real and buried deep in her body.

She caressed every inch of him she could reach while matching his rhythm, rolling her hips to meet his strokes. There was no sound but them, the slick sound of body meeting body, of breath and the rustling of sheets. But inside, Belle’s body sang, her 42

heart sang even though she was scared as hell of the enormity of what she felt for him at that moment. So much tenderness in his eyes.

Still watching her face, he leaned on one arm to move his free hand between them.

He brought his fingertips down where they were joined to gather her honey and slick the way around her clit.

A shock of intense pleasure hit her at that first contact and echoed over and over as his fingers continued to play over her clit. When her climax hit, it pulled her under as she held on to his ass, her fingers digging into the solid muscle. She had no words, just a long gasping sigh.

Long moments later he pressed a kiss to her forehead, got out of bed and came back quickly.

“That was amazing, Belle,” he said quietly, kissing her again, this time on the lips.

“It was. It feels sort of unreal. I mean, last night was one thing. Oh and I’m sorry I fell asleep, God, how rude!” She blushed but be laughed.

“Belle, you had dark circles under your eyes. They’re not nearly as bad today. You know how I felt when I saw you’d fallen asleep?”

She shook her head.

“Good. Accomplished. I’d taken care of you and helped you rest. I
liked
that.”

She smiled, shifting a bit on the blankets.

“It’s the sheets and blankets being mussed up, isn’t it?”

“Oh okay, yes! It makes everything all wrinkled and don’t you make your bed in the mornings? It’s so much nicer to crawl between sheets of a made bed.”

He laughed until tears ran from his eyes while she glared. “Belle, you’re one of a kind.”

She shoved him out of bed and stood, tightening his sheets, re-tucking them and straightening the blankets before pulling them back to expose the sheets. “Now, get in.”

He grabbed her and brought her down with him. “Thank you. You’re right, it does feel better.”

She rolled over his body so he was on the side closest to the door. “That’s better. I like this side.”

“You’re lucky I’m easy and I find it totally sexy when you’re all anal.”

She cocked her head. “You’re lucky I’m easy and fingered my pussy while you watched.” Satisfaction settled into her when she saw his eyes flare with heat and how he had to make an effort to take a deep breath.

“You’re absolutely right. Will you sleep with me tonight? I have to be up early but I won’t even turn the alarm on, I have an internal clock.”

“Yeah.” She snuggled into his body, breathing him in. He smelled so damned good and when he put his arms around her, she felt totally right.

“You want to talk to me about your job?”

“Rafe Bettencourt, I feel all relaxed and warm. It’s heaven and I don’t think I’ve felt this good in years and years. No, I don’t want to even think about it right now.”

“Would you bop me on the head with a pillow if I woke you up to fuck you in a few hours?” He nudged her ass with his cock when she turned and backed into the curve of his body.

“I’ll bop you if you don’t. Now shut up. You’ve made me very tired and I have to get some beauty rest. It’s tree trimming day tomorrow and then lunch with your family and then dinner with mine. My aunt, uncle and cousins should arrive before dinner. My mother said to invite you if you’re not busy with your family.”

“Am I allowed to answer or will you bop me? You scare me, Belle. You’ve got that dominatrix thing going for you. Although that doesn’t so much scare me as make me want to have sex with you.” He chuckled. “Rosemary and the kids won’t be in until tomorrow so I can definitely come by at least for some of your mom’s stellar dessert.”

“Good. I like to look at you.”

Chapter Five

Rafe liked to look at her too. He watched her as she helped his mother in the large kitchen, slicing tomatoes for the salad with engineer-like precision. She did it quickly and efficiently and yet he bet every single slice was perfectly the same size.

She’d not protested when he hugged and kissed her when they walked into the house.

He’d simply acted like she was his and to his great relief, she simply was his.

Her outfit was pretty and feminine, although he was convinced the pleat on the front of her soft blue pants was sharp enough to slice paper. Funny, he wouldn’t have found another woman dressed the same way sexy but that shirt buttoned up, just exposing the hollow of her throat, made him want to lick her. She exuded such a softness despite the spine of steel, the contradiction fascinated him.

Lunch was good. His mother’s attitude toward Belle had shifted from that of a family friend to that of a potential mother-in-law. She wasn’t just Belle Taylor, she was Belle and Rafe. He wondered if she caught that. He doubted she missed it, his woman was intelligent in addition to sexy.

When Belle readied to leave, his mother kissed her cheeks after his father had hugged her and Gabe laid a smooch or three on her to tease Rafe.

“Belle, I know you’ll be with your family on Christmas Day but we’d love to have you for Christmas Eve dinner.”

Rafe knew in that moment what it meant. Christmas Eve in the Bettencourt household was sacrosanct. They had dinner, played cards and went to midnight mass. It wasn’t something even friends were invited to. It was a family event. Belle, having grown up with them so closely knew that too and he saw her face as she realized it.

Her hand trembled a bit in his. “I’d be honored to as long as Rafe wouldn’t mind.”

“I wouldn’t want you anywhere else, Annabelle.” He kissed her cheek and hugged her.

“All right then. I’ll see you day after tomorrow. Thank you for lunch, I’m going to be full for a week.”
