Unleashed Temptation (8 page)

Her eyes widened when she realized he was completely naked. “Where’d you come

from?” He’d come from the direction of the back door. Unless he’d been running

around in her backyard naked, she couldn’t imagine where he’d been.

As if he read her mind, he answered. “Your trash was full so I took it out.”

“Naked?”

He shrugged as he walked toward her and ignored her question. “You hungry?”

“Wait, you went to the store this morning wearing clothing, right?” She turned to

follow his long form as he headed for the bagels.

He stared at her as if she’d grown two heads. “Yeah.”

“So you took off your clothes once you got back and decided to go out in my

grandmother’s backyard,
naked
?”

Nick froze with his hand in the bagel box and met her gaze. “Shit. I didn’t think

about that.”

Part of her thought it was a little odd that he didn’t mind strolling around in the

buff, but if she had a body like that, she’d probably flaunt it too. “Thanks for picking up

breakfast.”

“I’ve got to keep you fed. Besides, you didn’t have anything in your fridge. Want

some coffee?”

When she nodded, he continued. “Take a seat. I’ll fix it for you.”

Carly did as he said but couldn’t help but frown at his backside. She’d just had the

best sex of her life. Hell, the best sex she ever could have imagined, and now he was

waiting on her. It was too surreal. She kept expecting to wake up and realize it was all a

dream.

The sound of her doorbell chime jerked her back to reality.

Nick turned to face her, coffeepot in hand. His dark brows furrowed. “Expecting

someone?”

“No.” Shaking her head she stood and made sure the tie on her robe was secure

before heading to the front door. After glancing through the peephole, she immediately

tensed.

“Who is it?” Nick’s voice was dangerously close to her ear.

Her heart jumped as she swiveled to face him. “How do you do that?” she

whispered.

“What?”

“Sneak up on me…never mind. It’s my grandmother so go hide,” she whispered

again.

He turned and disappeared down the hallway before she could tell him to go

upstairs instead.

Her heart still beat erratically but she pasted a smile on her face and pulled the door

open. After all, she was a grown woman. It didn’t matter who she slept with. “Hey,

Grandma.”

Her grandmother smiled and kissed her on the cheek. “Hi, sweetie. I’m about to go

meet some of the girls for breakfast but I wanted to let you know I saw a big dog

running around the yard earlier so be careful. It looks dangerous.”

“What kind of dog?”

“I don’t know, but it was gray and white and almost looked like a wolf.”

A shiver snaked down Carly’s spine. “Thanks for letting me know.”

“Are you still having dinner with me tonight?”

Crap. She’d completely forgotten. “Uh—”

“If you already have plans, don’t worry. Mr. Lancaster asked me out to dinner but I

told him I’d have to check with you first.”

She placed a hand on her hip. “Who’s Mr. Lancaster?”

Her grandmother mimicked her and lifted a haughty eyebrow. “Whose car is

parked in the driveway?”

Carly’s cheeks heated under her grandmother’s knowing stare. “I’ll come by later

this afternoon, I promise,” she mumbled.

“Don’t bother, I’ll probably be out. If you get a chance though, walk on over

tomorrow for breakfast. Bring your friend if you want,” she snickered before giving her

another peck on the cheek.

Forget retirement, her grandmother had more of a social life than Carly did. After a

quick glance around the yard, she shut and locked the front door.

When she returned to the kitchen she found Nick sitting at the kitchen table eating

a bagel. She was disappointed to find him wearing boxers.

“Is everything okay?” he asked in between bites.

She took a seat and started smearing cream cheese on the blueberry bagel he’d laid

out for her. “Yeah. My grandmother saw a big dog roaming around the yard earlier and

wanted to let me know to be careful.”

He shrugged. “I’m sure it’s harmless.”

She fought off a shudder. “I don’t care. I hate dogs.”

When Nick started choking on his food Carly popped up and rounded the table.

She slapped him on the back a couple of times until he was breathing normally.

“Are you okay?” She stared down at him.

He cleared his throat and took a sip of coffee. “I’m fine. Guess it went down the

wrong way. Uh, you hate dogs?”

“Hmm? Oh, well, I don’t exactly hate them, but I don’t go out of my way to

befriend them.” She picked up her bagel.

“Why?” His brows furrowed.

“When I was eight, a German Shepherd attacked me.” She stretched out her leg and

twisted it so he could see the back of her calf. “You can’t really see the scars anymore,

but it was a horrible experience. I avoid dogs if I can.”

“You don’t like
any
dogs then, even puppies?” he asked incredulously.

She rolled her eyes. “Puppies are okay. I just don’t like the bigger breeds… Why,

are you a dog person?”

He shrugged and changed the subject. “So, do you have any plans for today?”

“I thought about going to the beach, but if you have something else in mind…” She

crossed her legs, letting her robe fall open to expose most of her thighs.

Nick dropped the rest of his uneaten bagel onto his plate and his gaze darkened. “I

was going to suggest we go to the Miami Seaquarium, but we can do that another day.”

Carly tugged on the tie and let the silky material slide off her shoulders. “If you’re

sure.”

Nick froze as Carly stripped down to nothing. She wasn’t even wearing panties. His

gaze narrowed in on the soft red strip of hair covering her mound and he could feel a

growl begin deep in his throat.

The more he had her, the more he wanted her. He couldn’t ever remember being so

damn horny. It was as if someone else had taken over his body.

As he pushed up from his chair Carly uncrossed her legs, giving him a perfect view

of her pussy. He grabbed her by the hands and hauled her up against him. She fit

against his body as if they were two puzzle pieces.

He devoured her mouth and wrapped his arms around her, trailing his hands

down her back to her perfect ass. When he grabbed her cheeks and squeezed gently, she

sighed into his mouth.

Last night had been torture not being able to fuck her again but now he was

prepared. He tore his mouth away from hers and blindly reached for the condom box.

After ripping the box open, he grabbed one of the foil packets and began to open it

when she snatched it from his hands.

“My turn.” She peeled the packet open and fisted his pulsing cock in one of her slim

hands.

Every time she touched him, he burned. It was as if she left a trail of fire in her

wake. Instead of rolling the condom on him however, she set it on the counter behind

her and tugged his boxers down.

Before he realized what she was doing, she’d kneeled in front of him and had taken

the tip of his penis in her mouth. His hips jerked forward at the unexpected contact.

When she ran her tongue along the underside of his shaft from the base back to the top,

he threaded his fingers through her thick hair and groaned aloud.

As she sucked and licked him, his knees started to buckle. Nick grasped her head

and stood back. “I want to be inside you.”

She turned to pick up the condom, but he grabbed her by the hips, turned her

around, and pushed her against the counter. It was the perfect height for what he had in

mind.

“Stay,” he ordered, whispering against her ear.

She clutched the counter and nodded as she looked at him over her shoulder.

After he’d rolled on the condom, he spread her legs further apart with his feet. Her

breathing became more erratic as he trailed a finger down her back and between her

buttocks. She tensed when he paused by her tight, rosy bud, but he kept going until he

reached her slit.

With one finger, he probed inside her. She was dripping wet so he pushed two

fingers in, savoring the feel of her clamping around him. A breathless groan escaped

when he dragged his fingers against her inner walls.

“This isn’t going to be gentle,” he rasped out.

“Good. I told you I won’t break.” Her own words were a shaky whisper.

The lights in the kitchen were off, but there was enough natural light streaming in

from the two windows that the room was incredibly bright.

Sunlight bathed Carly’s body and reflected off the shiny hair tumbling down her

back.

She was already wet enough and he simply didn’t have the fortitude for any more

foreplay. Last night he’d enjoyed tasting every inch of her but now he needed to feel her

again. His entire body ached with the need.

Wordlessly he held onto her hips and plunged inside her.

She let out a yelp and arched her back at the sudden intrusion. He’d been worried

about his size earlier, but she had no problem taking the full length of him.

For a moment he stayed where he was, buried balls-deep in Carly, letting her cunt

squeeze around him.

He kept his hands on her hips and pressed his chest against the length of her back.

“Touch yourself,” he ordered. Just the thought or the sight of her teasing her clit or her

breasts made his cock grow.

As soon as the order was out of his mouth, she took both breasts in her hands and

began palming them.

His cock pulsed with need as he watched her pinch and rub her nipples. From his

position he didn’t have a great view, but he knew she had the most perfect areolas. Pale

pink that seemed even brighter against her ivory skin. And they got darker the more

turned-on she was.

Though he was loath to pull out of her by even an inch, he finally began to move.

With each stroke, she let out a purring sound, and it was all he could do not to come.

Each tortured moan she made pushed him closer to the edge. Reaching around, he

cupped her mound and flicked her clit with his thumb. She jerked at the small action

and her breathing increased.

As he slowly pushed in and out of her, he kept the pressure steady on her hardened

bud. The harder she panted, the faster he moved his finger and his cock. When the

walls of her pussy began locking around him, he clutched onto her hips and increased

his pace.

For a moment he let his mental shield down and tapped into her mind. Pure

pleasure hit him like a tidal wave. Her thoughts and feelings were too jumbled for him

to make sense of anything, but she enjoyed what they were doing.

Her emotions were so strong they nearly bowled him over. He desperately wanted

to link with her, to tell her what he was, but he feared it was too soon.

He could bite her and she’d probably assume he was just a little kinky. But that

would take away her choice about her future. And he couldn’t do that, no matter how

much he ached to.

Putting the shield back up, he pounded into her with a renewed frenzy. Her pussy

fisted around his cock with startling intensity as she surged into orgasm. Her hands

dropped from her breasts and clutched onto the edge of the counter. As she let out a

low moan, he allowed himself to let go and exploded with pleasure.

Breathing hard, Carly leaned over the counter, barely moving. Sweat trickled down

his face and back and after a few moments, he pulled out of her. His cock made a

popping sound as he withdrew and immediately he missed her warmth.

As he disposed of the condom, Carly picked up her silk robe and slid it on before

collapsing on one of the chairs.

“Was I too rough?” He plucked his boxers from the floor.

Her pretty lips pulled up into a smile. “Stop worrying that I’m going to break.”

Nick cupped her face in his hands and dropped a kiss on her forehead. “I can’t help

it. I take care of what’s mine.”

Carly glanced away from the computer screen and shook her head. It was almost

noon and she hadn’t completed even half of what needed to be done today. All she

could focus on was the past weekend with Nick. They hadn’t left her apartment except

to get food.

Now she couldn’t concentrate on anything. Couldn’t keep her mind off the toe-

curling sex she’d been having. It almost felt as if she were living someone else’s life.

Sexy men who liked giving oral sex more than they liked receiving it did not just fall

into her lap.

“Hey, looks like someone’s back in the dating game.” Alex’s voice from the open

doorway caused her to glance up.

Carly frowned at the vase of blood-red roses in Alex’s hands. There were at least

two dozen in the bouquet. “What’s that?”

The other woman shrugged as she placed them on the desk. “Someone just

delivered them. No note, just your name on a white card.”

Carly bit her bottom lip. She and Nick had discussed keeping their relationship

private, at least until they figured out where things were going. In reality, she was the
