Big Spankable Asses (26 page)

“Who I am, does that bother you?” he asked, pulling her from her thoughts.

Simone blinked twice then glanced up at him. “That I’m sleeping with the son of a man who was listed in
Forbes
last year? Of course not.” she said drily.

“Seriously?”

No.
It bothered her because it showed how wonderful a man he was. His company built million-dollar homes, yet they had donated money, time, and materials to helping underprivileged children. She released a deep breath as her heart fluttered wildly against her chest. She was in a world of trouble.

Shaun must have sensed her uneasiness, because he draped an arm around her waist before resuming their stroll along the beach. “If it helps, I work eight to five just like everyone else. Even though it’s a family business, I wanted to make my own mark in the world. Instead of starting as an apprentice like my brothers, I decided to become an architect. I’ve designed dozens of homes. I’m proud of our company. Especially my dad,” he added with an admiring tone.

“What’s he like?”

He took a moment to answer. “Tough, honorable, and quite honest.”

They were all qualities she admired in a man. Qualities she was starting to realize that Shaun possessed as well. Knowing that made her want to yank her heart out of her chest and hand it over on a silver platter. She rose on her toes and kissed him. Her lips moved over his and savored the taste of sweet wine on his breath. When she finally pulled away, Shaun gave her a puzzled look.

“What was that for?”

“Just because.” Damn, she couldn’t believe that she did that. Who was this man? When she was around him she had no control of her actions. Instead, she was reacting on impulse, which would get her in trouble if she wasn’t careful.

“You can kiss me anytime.” He pulled her against him again and took a kiss of his own before pulling back. Hand in hand, they started walking again. Her cheeks were flushed and at that exact moment she was so happy, she felt like crying.

“What made you decide to open a nightclub?”

Simone smiled, pleased to hear he was interested in her life as well. “I have gone to hundreds of clubs that lacked class, and I always said whenever I could afford it I was going to open my own. It’s been three years and I’m doing quite well.”

“I could tell,” he said with a look of appreciation.

“Thank you. It’s a lot of long hours but it’s worth it.”

He brought her hand to his lips. “How often do you find time for yourself?”

She shrugged. “Maybe not often enough.”

Shaun stopped walking and turned to face her. Without high heels, she suddenly felt very small with him staring down at her.

“I hope you’ll find time for me in your busy life. I really want to see where this relationship goes.”

He was talking about a future again. Her heart skipped a beat. This was not supposed to be happening. Why was it so hard for him to understand that a serious relationship was not what she needed?

“I guess I should take your silence as a no.”

Simone released a heavy sigh. “No, it’s not that. I just wish you would understand that I don’t want another serious relationship.”

“If you tell me why, maybe I’ll understand.” Taking her hand, he moved over to a bench facing the ocean and lowered her onto his lap. Simone stared off into the water as she gathered her words.

“I met my fiancé in my first year of college. We dated for four years before he finally asked me to marry him. I was so in love with that man, I don’t remember life before he was there. One day I thought I would surprise him, so I went over to his apartment and found him in bed with another man.”

Shaun tightened his grip around her waist.

“I was devastated. When I confronted him about it later, he tried to deny it, then finally came out and said he’d been that way for a while and didn’t know how to tell me.” She scowled. “He planned to marry me and continue to live a double life because he didn’t want to hurt me or his family.”

“I’m so sorry.”

She brushed the tears away as she continued. “I was so hurt and humiliated. It took me a year to get over the hurt and because of that I’m determined not to feel that type of pain again.”

“All men aren’t like that.”

“True, but I’m not sure if I want to take that chance again. Love hurts too much and I don’t know if I could survive another rejection.”

Reaching up, he stroked the side of her face. “I don’t want to hurt you. I want to love you.”

Simone turned on his lap and studied his eyes. “Why me? What would your parents say if you brought home a black woman?”

“They would be happy to see that I’ve finally fallen in love again. I shut down after Hannah died and my family has been very worried about me. They would be relieved to know that I’m happy.”

Her pulse raced. Loving a man like him could be so easy if only…“Was Hannah black?”

Shaun hesitated. “No, but it wouldn’t have mattered to my family if she was green. I was raised to understand that we are all human beings. What makes us different is what’s inside.” He emphasized his point with a finger to her heart. “My family would love you for you. They would love you even more if we had a few grandbabies.”

She couldn’t help but giggle. The thought of having his child caused her to yearn for a future with a man. She had always wanted children, a big house, and a dog, and, most importantly, a loving and devoted husband. She just wished she could take that chance.

They sat there for the longest time with her head resting on his shoulder. He held her tightly in his arms.

When they finally returned to the room, Simone was quiet. Shaun knew she was thinking and fighting the strong attraction between them. Why? He understood her reason for being scared, but he wanted her to give them a chance. Deep in his heart, he knew she was the one. He was just waiting for her to figure that out as well.

Simone stood over at the balcony. The wind was tossing her hair around her head while she stared down at the beach. Shaun walked over, pressed his chest to her back, and enclosed her in the circle of his arms.

“I’ve never been to Florida before,” she said, barely above a whisper as if she didn’t want to disturb the world in front of them. “It is so beautiful. I could stay here forever.”

He held her closer. “My parents own a beach home in Miami Beach. Anytime you need to get away, I’ll be more than happy to bring you back.”

“Okay,” she whispered, but her voice lacked conviction. She was telling him what he wanted to hear, not the truth. She had no intentions of going anywhere with him again after they returned home. He felt a sting of jealousy at the thought of her being with anyone but him. Shaun wanted her in his life, and he knew if he wanted her to stay, it was up to him to show her how good they were together.

Shaun lured her into the room, then turned her around and walked her backwards until she bumped into the bed and fell back with him on top of her. With one quick push, his tongue parted her lips with hard strokes. For the longest time they lay in each other’s arms, kissing and touching, then they quickly shed their clothes. Shaun moved between Simone’s legs and pinned her arms over her head as he ran a trail of kisses along her neck and face.

She gasped. Her need for him was so overwhelming. She was so wrapped up in the moment, she didn’t realize what Shaun was doing until she felt pressure around her wrist and a click.

Her eyelids flew open. “What are you doing?”

“Handcuffing you to the headboard,” he said with a wicked gleam in his eyes. “You want to play games and pretend our relationship is just a weekend fling. Fine. I’m about to show you that what we have is much more that.”

Simone pulled and sure enough, she was completely at his mercy. She stared up at him. His dark, silky hair was wild around his shoulders and hunger burned in his green eyes. Swallowing, she knew she was in trouble. Despite knowing that, her pussy pulsed with anticipation.

Dipping his head, Shaun ran his tongue along her earlobe. “I’m crazy about you, Simone,” he whispered.

The words made her pulse race. Reaching down, he rolled and pinched her nipples between his forefingers and thumbs, and the combined pleasure and pain was intense. Squirming, she yanked hard against the handcuffs and tried to free herself, but it was useless. Shaun was in complete control and she was helpless to do anything about it. The thought made her wet and she felt cum slide down her inner thigh.

He laughed low and a mischievous gleam lit his eyes. “Baby, I think you’re crazy about me as well.” Rolling onto his side and resting on one elbow, Shaun allowed his fingers to wander. His hand left her breast and tickled her underarm, feathered her nipples, then swept down past her stomach to her apex where he combed his finger through the dark hair, causing Simone to cry out.

“Your hair is darker down here and curlier, too,” he reported between caresses. “I like that.”

The light feathering of his fingers was driving her insane. His hand traveled to her clit, and her back arched. She couldn’t escape his touch. With her hands bound, Shaun could do anything he wanted to her. And dammit, she wanted him to do just that. “Yes,” she moaned.

He brushed his thumb back and forth against her clit. “You like when I touch you like this, don’t you?”

“Oh, yes,” she whimpered.

Shaun chuckled, then lowered his head toward her breasts. She waited impatiently for the warm, wet touch. Her nipples were swollen and screaming
suck me
. She arched off the bed trying to meet his lips halfway and cried out when his teeth finally grazed her puckered flesh.

“You taste good,” he said. He licked. He teased. And finally, he suckled her. Simone closed her eyes and gave in to the pleasure. What he was doing felt so good, it was terrifying. With every flick of his tongue, his name spilled from her lips.

“That’s it, baby. Remember the night we met?” he crooned while he continued to tease her clit. “Did you play with yourself after I left your office?”

Hell, yeah. Heat flowed between her legs as she remembered masturbating on the edge of her desk. But there was no way she was going to admit she fantasized about him, so she shook her head.

“You’re lying. I know you did because on the ride home, I could feel your hot pussy clamped around my dick.” His tongue delicately licked her nipple. “Did it feel good pretending I was inside you?”

Yes, it had. All week, she had masturbated. But now she wanted the real thing. “I did no such thing,” she panted. “Now free my hands so I can touch you.”

Shaun lifted his head and shot her a hard look. The caramel beauty was driving him crazy. He ignored her request and, using his teeth, gently pinched her nipple. “Did you tell your friends about us?”

She flinched at the wave of pleasure. “No. Why should I?”

“Because I told mine about you.” Okay, he thought. He’d just have to turn up the heat a little higher and see if she continued to downplay what was happening between them. He planned to enjoy every inch of her to the max, before taking her again.

Slowly, he slid further down her body, his gaze locked with hers. “Make sure when you tell them about me you don’t miss a single detail,” he said with a smug smile. Shaun blew across her damp skin and her head jerked away from the pillow. “For instance, you’ll have to tell them that I did this.”

When she felt his lips glide across her skin, her belly quivered and a moan escaped her parted lips. Chuckling, Shaun opened his mouth and licked and nibbled his way across her abdomen. She began to whimper, but he kept the pace slow and easy, hoping she would be frantic by the time he plunged inside her.

“And they’ll want to know about this,” he whispered.

Shaun teased her nipple with his tongue before capturing the whole thing in his mouth. He sucked hard. Simone squirmed, demanding to be freed, but he ignored her request and moved his mouth to the other breast. He sucked and nibbled for so long she was bucking her hips beneath him.

“Dammit! Let me go,” she pleaded. “Please!”

“Baby, not yet. I still have to give you some more to talk about.”

Desperately, Simone tried to kick him, but he caught her legs and spread them wide. She cried out when his hands gripped her ass and lifted her hips up off the mattress. “Shaun, let me go!” she screamed between pants.

“Not until I taste you.”

Within seconds, he had her completely powerless. Hands above her head. Legs draped over his shoulders. Shaun glanced up from his position. Was she finally ready to let whatever was meant to happen between them, happen? “Stop fighting it, Simone,” he said. “There is nothing you can do about fate.”

She began to wiggle but he held her still. Moving closer, he slid his tongue across her swollen folds and she jerked forward.

“That’s it. Let go.”

The tip of his tongue snaked out and he took quick licks. She squirmed and cried out his name. “Shaun!”

“That’s it, baby,” he said. “Enjoy it.” His tongue swept over her in slow strokes, probing, separating, and teasing her clit. She thrashed about.

“Ohhhh!” she moaned. “That feels so good.”

Mmmm.
She tasted delicious. He licked, stroked, and sucked again and again until her body was rocking against him. Replacing his mouth with a finger, he coaxed cum from her pussy. Simone screamed. She arched upward and he slid first one finger, then a second finger into her. When his mouth joined in, he heard a sharp intake of breath. His tongue circled her clit, then slid lower and plunged back into her soaking wet pussy. Out and in. Again and again with slow, deliberate strokes. He could feel the walls of her pussy contracting. His tongue dipped inside again, and she sobbed.

“Shaun!”

“I’m yours, Simone,” he said against her skin. “All you have to do is give yourself to me.”

He could feel her beginning to come undone. Her orgasm was only seconds away. Deliberately, he returned his attention to her clit and firmly licked. The pressure seemed to push her over the edge. Her back arched, and her muscles tightened around him.

“Oh, yes!” she cried in a strangled voice. He pushed his face hard against her bucking hips. Her body heaved and mewing sounds rose from her throat.
