Zack (Armed and Dangerous Book 1) (21 page)

A single candle flickered at the center of the table, barely giving enough light to see by. The restaurant was busy, but the way their table was hidden from view in the corner, they might as well have been alone. Which was just fine with Zack.

Sky set her purse and jacket down on a free chair, then tried to keep that scrap of a red dress from climbing up as Zack seated her.

Let it climb, sweetheart. Let it climb.

He sat in the chair closest to her, so close that his leg pressed against hers. “Don’t worry about your dress,” Zack whispered in her ear. “It’s so dark no one can see, and the table blocks the view.”

His gaze roamed over her, and then he added, “From everyone but me, that is.”

“If you say so.” Sky gave him a wicked smile and stopped trying to pull her dress down. Instead, she wiggled and let her dress hike up to the tops of her thighs.

Zack’s cock had an immediate reaction to the sight of those garters, and he was real glad the hostess couldn’t see either one of their laps.

The hostess handed them each a menu and told them their waiter would be there soon.

Color rose in Sky’s cheeks as Zack studied her. “Why are you staring at me?” she said in a hushed voice.

“You’re so damn beautiful.” He reached under the table and squeezed her fingers as her features turned even more pink. “I can’t stop looking at you.”

Sky brought her fingers to her throat and he wondered if the rest of her was as flushed as her face.

A ponytailed waiter interrupted them and Sky requested a white zinfandel. Zack ordered a beer and the shrimp appetizer. A moment after the waiter left, a busboy placed glasses of iced water in front of Sky and Zack.

“Romantic.” Sky glanced around the restaurant, picked up her glass, and sipped her iced water.

“Uh-huh.” Zack’s mind was mush and he could hardly take his eyes off her.

Sky’s scent of rain and orange blossoms enveloped him, sharpening his senses. Her thick hair fell in a copper wave over her shoulders, resting on the tops of her breasts. Candlelight reflected in her eyes and her lips were glossy and slightly parted.

The thought of what she could do with those lips damn near made Zack groan aloud.

Before the waiter returned with their drinks, Sky glanced at her menu. Zack flicked his gaze over the specials, hardly able to concentrate, and practically chose the first thing he saw.

After the waiter brought their drinks and took their orders for their main course, he left them alone and vanished again into the restaurant’s darkness. Zack found himself wishing the guy would stay away. At least long enough for him to steal a kiss from Sky. Or two.

To hell with the waiter.

Sky picked up her glass of white zin and smiled. Through the crystal wineglass he saw her tongue press against the rim, the rose wine rolling over her lips. Mesmerized, he watched her throat as she swallowed.

He swallowed, too. His throat was so dry he didn’t think he could have spoken a word.

Forcing himself to move, Zack picked up his draft and downed half the glass before letting himself look at Sky again.

The sensual play continued until the smell of grilled shrimp alerted Zack that the waiter had brought the plate of appetizers they’d ordered. Sky picked up a shrimp and peeled off the tail. Then she held the piece between her thumb and forefinger and placed it in front of Zack’s lips.

“Open up,” she murmured, and slipped the shrimp into his mouth when he did. Zack sucked her fingers as she withdrew them and he felt the slight tremor of her hand.

“The taste of you was the best part,” he said before he picked out a shrimp. Her eyes focused on him and she parted her lips. As he put the shrimp into her mouth, she caressed his fingers with butterfly strokes of her tongue.

Just from what Sky was doing with that incredible tongue, Zack’s cock was so hard his eyes almost watered.

She brought another shrimp to his mouth and his gaze strayed to her breasts. He suckled her fingertips like he wanted to be doing to her large nipples. Slow, lazy strokes and then harder, applying slight suction.

Too soon, or maybe not soon enough, the shrimp were gone. Sky licked her own fingers as she stared at him, the candlelight reflecting desire in her green eyes.

The waiter arrived with their meals, but they barely noticed.

Zack had never had a meal that was a sexual experience like this one. Every bite Sky took made him feel as if she was thinking about going down on his cock, licking her tongue along his length, and swallowing his come.

She continued to feed him bites of grilled chicken with her fingers, and he returned the favor, until their plates were clean.

“Dessert?” the waiter asked when he cleared their plates away.

Frankly, Zack wanted to get out of the restaurant and out to his truck. He’d never screwed in the cab before, but at the moment it was looking real good.

Sky glanced up from the dessert menu and licked her bottom lip. “Why don’t we share a piece of chocolate cheesecake?”

Zack could hardly form a coherent thought, as all his blood had settled in his groin, so he settled for a quick nod.

In a few minutes, the waiter returned with the slice of cheesecake and set it in front of them with two forks. Raspberry sauce drizzled down one side of the dessert.

Sky dipped her finger in the sauce and sucked it off. “Mmmm, this is heaven.”

Zack thrust his fork into the cheesecake. “I know what’s even better.”

She gave him a seductive smile. “Oh, you do?”

As he held the bite of cheesecake in front of her lips, Zack’s right hand glided up her thigh, over the silky stockings, and to the bare flesh above.

She gasped as his hand traveled beneath her dress to the wisp of satin thong beneath. “Zack,” she whispered, but he slipped the bit of cheesecake into her mouth.

“Better than cheesecake.” He skimmed the crotch of her thong, and smiled when he felt how damp it was. He found the edge of the fabric, and her eyes widened as his fingers brushed over the curls beneath.

Her hand trembled as she put her own fork into the dessert and she held it up to his lips. The cheesecake was smooth and creamy and melted over his tongue as his fingers glided into the wetness of her folds. He wanted nothing more than to taste her right now instead of that cheesecake.

“If you keep doing that,” Sky said with obvious difficulty, “I’m going to come right here in the restaurant.”

“That’s the idea.” Zack fed her another bite of cheesecake as he continued to rub his finger over her clit. “No one can tell what we’re doing.”

He looked into her eyes, the passion in them driving him wild. “I want to watch you come, sweetheart. Now.”

In the next moment her hand was in his lap, caressing his cock through his jeans. His own hand shook a little from the feel of her palm on his erection. He thrust his fork into the cheesecake again, then slid the bite into her warm mouth just as she parted her lips and climaxed.

Her body shuddered with wave after wave of her orgasm. He didn’t let up stroking her clit until the tremors stopped and she relaxed against the back of the booth.

“Oh. My. God.” she said breathlessly. “Unbelievable.” Watching Sky come had damn near put Zack over the edge. She continued to stroke his cock as she looked at him with heavy-lidded eyes. He slipped his fingers out of her thong and placed his palm over her hand, stopping the motion that was driving him out of his mind.

With a shaky sigh, she sat straighter in her seat. Her free hand trembled as she picked up her glass of wine. “I’ll never think of chocolate cheesecake in quite the same way,” she murmured over the rim of her glass, and then drained the contents before setting her glass down.

Zack focused on her lips and kissed her, licking away a bit of raspberry sauce from the corner of her mouth. She tasted of raspberries and wine.

The waiter approached and set the check on the table. “Anything else I can do for you?”

Sky shook her head and Zack said, “We’re more than fine.”

“Great. Come again.”

Sky burst into a fit of giggles and Zack’s lips quirked. “I’m sure we will.”

With a puzzled almost smile, the waiter took their empty dessert plate and left. Zack pulled cash out of his wallet and put it in the center of the table with the bill.

Sky dabbed her lips with her napkin, and then tossed the napkin under the table.

Zack raised an eyebrow. “What did you do that for?”

She winked. “Oops. I dropped my napkin. Better get it.”

Before he could say a word, she slid beneath the tablecloth.

Blood pounded in Zack’s ears. Sky wasn’t about to do what he thought she was. Was she?

“Ah, Sky?” he said as she disappeared.

She pushed the tablecloth out of the way and moved between his thighs. “I’m going to return the favor.”

Zack’s breathing became ragged and his hard-on positively ached. “Uh, I don’t think—”

“Mmmm.” Sky’s nimble fingers found his belt and she unfastened it. “Weren’t you the one who told me no one could see us?” she said. “The waiter left the check, so he’s not likely to come back right away.” Her words were slightly muffled, but the sensual tone was unmistakable. “But you’ll come.”

Zack felt a tug on his zipper, and then thrill and release as she freed his cock.

His eyes darted around the restaurant.

No one could see them.

Right?

God, he hoped not.

And then he couldn’t think anymore as Sky’s hot breath teased him. Slowly, she slid him into her mouth, flicking her tongue around the head of his cock.

He groaned, then bit the inside of his cheek, fighting to hold back the next groan.

As if sensing her advantage, Sky went down on him, taking him deep.

Her mouth was warm. Hot. Burning.

Zack slipped a hand beneath the tablecloth and clenched her hair in his fist. There was something about sitting in a restaurant and not being able to see what she was doing to him that made it all the more intense.

He chewed his cheek to the point of blood, holding back another groan as Sky stroked him with her hand and mouth, sucking and licking him. Her other hand caressed his balls.

Intense sensations flooded Zack. “Sky...”

He’d never felt anything like this. Not even close.

Fighting to keep his eyes open, to be sure no one was about to catch them and haul them straight to jail, he gave himself up to Sky’s hot mouth.

He couldn’t help it. Sweet Jesus. What was she doing to him?

Sweat broke across his forehead as Sky took him deeper in her throat. Soft. Wet.

In the next instant, Zack’s body corded. He clenched his teeth to hold back a shout as he came. She grabbed his hips and held him at the back of her throat, swallowing his semen until the last surge of his orgasm ended.

His vision was still hazy when he noticed the waiter approaching. Sky started to get up, but Zack leaned closer to the table and pressed down on her head with his palm.

“Waiter,” he mumbled, and heard her soft laugh from between his knees.

When the waiter reached the table, his gaze flicked to Sky’s empty seat and then to the cash.

“Keep the change,” Zack managed to say, his jaw twitching as he felt Sky’s hand caressing his cock. Up and down. Slowly. Teasing him, wanting a repeat.

And damned if he wasn’t getting hard again.

“Thanks,” the waiter said as he picked up the money. “Have a good one.” With a slight nod he turned and left.

“Oh, I did,” Zack murmured under his breath.

His hands slid back to Sky’s hair. He tried to pull her up, but she wasn’t budging.

Slowly, her tongue worked him again, from top to bottom.

He was pouring sweat now, and his body jerked as she closed her lips over him again, making him fucking harder than before.

Her hands traveled to his hips, forcing him forward as her sucking became more demanding. More insistent.

Zack let go of her and grabbed the table.

“Damn,” he whispered. “Damn, woman. Have you lost your mind?”

Sky purred, and the rumble of her voice against his now-throbbing shaft was too much to bear.

Zack closed his eyes.

Let the whole restaurant know. He couldn’t care less. All that mattered was Sky’s mouth. The rhythm of her ceaseless caress as she took him in, up and down, harder and faster.

The table rattled as he came and was unable to hold back a fresh round of groans. His face burned, and he coughed, trying to cover up the sound.

Thank God she only kissed him a few more times then stopped. She tucked his still semi-hard cock back into his jeans, and he heard the hum of the zipper before she fastened his belt buckle.

Once more, his hands found Sky’s hair and ran down her body as she rose from under the tablecloth to her seat. She grinned and dabbed her lips with the napkin.

“Found it,” she said.

Zack opened his mouth, but all that came out was a rattling sigh of exhaustion. He felt like he could fall asleep on the table. Face-first. But he didn’t dare. Who knew what Sky might do to him then?

She grinned at him, letting the napkin fall across his shaking hand. “Maybe you ought to be more careful starting things you can’t finish in public, Zack Hunter.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.” His voice sounded like gravel in a box.

Sky wrapped her arms around his neck. “You’re still the most exciting man I’ve ever met.”

He pressed his lips to her forehead. “And you’re dangerous, sweetheart.”

Her green eyes glittered, and she kissed the corner of his mouth. “I love how you taste.” She released her hold around his neck and checked the zipper on his jeans. “You ready to leave, baby?”

Zack wasn’t too sure he could walk straight but he cleared his throat and nodded. “Let’s get you out of here before you drop anything else.”

Sheer contentment settled throughout Sky as Zack drove them back to the ranch. She couldn’t believe how intense her orgasm had been, heightened by being in a public place and the danger of getting caught.

Sky grinned to herself. She’d so enjoyed giving Zack his due, taking his cock in her mouth under that table. The power she’d had over him had been intoxicating. It had been incredible feeling his release as he came in her throat, and how she loved mak¬ing him come twice in one sitting.
