Caviar and Covert Ops: Book 3 (Military Moguls) (9 page)

Her cheeks burned and she was sure they were bright scarlet. “I’ve never come that hard before.”

Dane’s brows shot up in surprise. “I’m glad. I’m possessive and competitive like that.”

She shouldn’t have said anything because he clearly liked the idea of being the first to rock her world in a major way. “It’s not the first orgasm I’ve ever had,” she clarified.

Dane shook his head. “What kind of men have you dated?”

“You’re the first real man,” she said because it was true. Everyone else she’d been with before tonight had simply been a warmup for him.

“This real man can’t wait any longer.” Dane stood and began to pluck at the buttons on his shirt, stripping it from his torso to reveal golden skin stretched over taut muscles. His shoulders were wide and his ridged belly flat. She couldn’t stop herself from sitting up and running a tongue along his abdomen, feeling the flesh jump and quiver. His hands clamped down on her shoulders and he pulled away with a groan. “Easy on me. I want you very much and I don’t want this to be over before it starts.”

The tent behind the zipper of his pants told the tale. He wanted her as much as she wanted him. She reached out to rub his hard cock through the fabric but his hand snaked out and captured her wrist before she could touch him.

“You are one naughty girl that’s begging to be punished. Just so we’re clear, I’m in charge when it comes to the bedroom, baby.”

His outrageous declaration should have infuriated her but instead it inflamed her senses, arousal sending more cream gushing from her pussy and making her nipples uncomfortably tight. She was in charge of every single damn thing every moment of every day in her life. What a delight to let him take control and lead. He obviously knew what he was doing and she’d be a fool to argue with him.
Lie back and enjoy the splendor.

“Do you hear me arguing?” she chuckled, her hands running up his thighs to the button of his pants. His quickly indrawn breath let her know in no uncertain terms that he was as affected as she was. Her fingers hesitated over the fastening, his hot gaze taking in every move she made. “May I?”

She tried to keep her voice humble but his eyebrow quirked in amusement. “You may but you’re not fooling me in the least. I can see the gleam of mischief in your eye. I doubt obedience is your strong suit.”

That word made her pause from removing his pants. “Is that what you’re looking for in a woman? Obedience?”

“Out of the bedroom? No way. In the bedroom? Let’s just say that I like to give the orders.” He hesitated for a moment. “It turns me on to be obeyed. Up to a point, of course. I would never ask you to do something you really didn’t want to do.”

She swallowed hard, determined to be fully with this man. She was a woman, not a scared little girl. “What kind of things would you order me to do?”

A lazy grin bloomed on his gorgeous face. “I’d tell you to get on your knees and suck me off. Or maybe hold yourself in a certain position while I played with you. And of course, not to come without my permission.”

Laughter bubbled up at his words. “Permission? I can’t come unless you tell me? That seems crappy.”

Not that she was having all that many orgasms without him. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d come before tonight. She was too tired most days to even care.

“I promise you’ll come often enough that you won’t mind. Do you want to give being submissive a try?”

Chewing on her lower lip, she turned over his question in her mind. She trusted him. That wasn’t an issue. She wanted to turn him on and if getting on her knees and putting his cock in her mouth would do it? She was all in.

A thought popped into her head. “Are you like those guys in some of the books I’ve read? Are you a Dom?”

A friend at the restaurant had given her a few books that had opened Lily’s eyes to the possibilities and diversity in the bedroom. She had to admit she’d found them arousing.

Dane shucked his pants and tossed them on the coffee table. “What do you know about Doms?”

“I’ve read some things.” Lily shrugged. “But I don’t really know much.”

“I’ve had dominant/submissive experiences but I wouldn’t call myself a Dom. As I said I like to be in charge. But we don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.”

He was pushing his boxers down his muscled thighs and his long, thick cock sprung out, slapping his belly. A pearl of pre-cum glistened at the slit of the purplish-red mushroom head and suddenly she wanted to do anything that pleased him. She wanted him to want her until he couldn’t take it anymore.

“I want to try,” she stated. “What’s my first order?”

He pointed to the floor. “If you really want to do this then get on your knees. Have you ever sucked a cock before, baby?”

She had but not very well. There was a lot of choking and coughing involved and she was terrified of cum shooting into her mouth.

“I’m not a virgin, Dane,” she answered sharply. Because she’d told him he was the first man she’d had a great orgasm with now he was going to treat her like she was sexually backwards. “I’ve sucked before.”

He crossed his arms over his wide chest and smiled. “No need to get defensive. I don’t want to ask you to do something you find repugnant.”

“I don’t have a problem with it. Not really.”

“You said that with about as much enthusiasm as someone headed to the dentist. We don’t have to do this. It’s not a big deal.”

But it was. “I’m afraid you’ll come down my throat,” she admitted, her face getting warm. “It happened once and I didn’t like it.”

Dane nodded and curved his hand around the back of her head, urging her to her knees. “I can imagine that was an unpleasant surprise. I promise you that won’t happen with me.”

Falling to her knees, she reached up and wrapped her fingers around his hard cock, the skin velvety to the touch but steely underneath. He stood perfectly still as her fingernail traced the pattern of blue veins just under the skin. When she looked up again Dane’s eyes were closed and his jaw was tight.

He enjoyed it and it gave her even more confidence to explore, cupping his heavy balls in her hands and wringing a groan from his lips. “Good God, woman, put me out of my misery, you little tease.”

Giggling, she let her tongue follow her fingertip before giving butterfly flicks to the head. His fingers tightened in her hair and a hiss of breath escaped his lips as she laved the shaft from groin to tip. Finally he pulled away with a tortured groan.

“I can’t take much more. And there’s so much we still haven’t done.”

Images of all the things she’d only fantasized about danced in her head. He reached down and easily lifted her from the ground and into his arms.

“Bedroom?”

“Second door on the left.” She pointed to the hall knowing he couldn’t get lost in the tiny condo. Resting her head on his shoulder, she breathed in his masculine scent and listened to the steady thud of his heart under her ear. She let her hand glide over his bicep and shoulder before scraping through the silky hair on his chest.

Laying her on the bed, he frowned for a moment and then cursed before straightening. “Condoms are in my pants. I’ll be right back.”

She watched his tight butt as he retreated and she took the opportunity to pull back the covers and slide between the cool sheets. She wished her bedroom was more romantic than utilitarian but in the dim light it probably didn’t matter anyway. Hopefully he would be concentrating only on her.

He reentered with two condom squares between his fingers and she said a silent prayer that he’d brought more than one. Once wasn’t going to be nearly enough. Holding them up, he grinned wickedly before kneeling at the end of the bed.

“I think we need to get you warmed up again.”

After donning the condom he crawled up her body, stopping to kiss, lick, and nibble at various sensitive areas on the way, making her writhe and moan in response. Finally face to face he captured her lips in a searing kiss, his tongue dominating and claiming. She gave in, willingly swept away on a tide of arousal that was too powerful to deny.

When he nudged her legs apart, she slid her thighs wide and clutched his shoulders in anticipation. His cock pressed at her entrance and her long unused muscles protested at his intrusion. He paused to let her catch her breath before pushing forward again, slowly, inexorably until she was completely full. Her toes curled as delicious sensations began to radiate from her clit and pussy out to every part of her body.

She swayed her hips with urgency, needing him to move more than she needed her next breath. He pulled out and then thrust back in, rubbing a never-before-found spot inside of her that took her breath away and tightened the bar of arousal in her belly. Moving closer to the precipice they rocked together, her legs wrapped around his waist.

Trembling beneath him she lifted her hips to meet his thrusts, each designed to send her higher. Her clit swelled as he stroked it with his groin, the friction almost too much to bear. She mewled in frustration, her nails digging into the flesh of his shoulders as she neared the top. Dane leaned down and whispered hot, dirty words of encouragement in her ear even as he placed his hand between their bodies just where she needed it most.

Lily’s orgasm hit her with the force of a freight train, shattering her soul and sending the flickering pieces spinning around the room. His release hit him at the same time and she watched in fascination as he threw his head back, his teeth gritted tightly, the muscles of his torso in sharp relief. Never had a man been so beautiful to her than he was at that moment.

As she slowly came down to earth, he held her close and stroked her hair, his touch still making her shiver in the aftermath of their lovemaking. She let the silence enfold them until finally she levered up on her elbow and looked deep into his green eyes.

“That was amazing.”

“You’re amazing.” Dane smiled and pressed a kiss onto her shoulder.

She giggled and snuggled closer into the heat of his body. “So it’s unanimous. We’re amazing.”

“Two amazing people who need to get some rest. I know you’ll want to pick up Nicky early in the morning. We can all go out for breakfast.”

She loved how he included her son in the circle of their happiness. This couldn’t only be about her. It was hard to believe she could feel this incredible but here she was, happier than she’d ever remembered.

“I think that sounds fantastic. I want pancakes.”

“You can have anything you want,” he promised. “And I mean that. From now on you can have anything you want.”

All she wanted was Dane’s heart and a happy ending for all three of them. Was that too much to ask?

H
ow could one
man feel so good and so absolutely rotten at the same time? Last night with Lily had been amazing. Fantastic. Wonderful. He didn’t have the superlatives to describe the feeling of being intimate with someone he had feelings for.

Which made this all the more difficult. He’d tried to tell Lily last night about being Brandon’s cousin and the executor of the estate, but she’d placed her fingers over his lips and his dick had taken over the thinking from that point. There hadn’t been enough blood in his brain to think clearly and by the time there was the deed was already done. He was going to have to find another way to tell her without losing her trust.

Fuck it all, he should have told her before but he’d been afraid to lose her and now he was terrified. He was also thoroughly screwed and he only had himself to blame. He’d allowed his prejudices to push him into doing things that were out of character.

Now he was paying the price for his own stupidity.

She’d been so sweet this morning, so loving he simply couldn’t ruin the moment by dropping the bomb of his identity. After two cups of coffee he’d decided that this morning wasn’t the right moment. He sure as hell didn’t know when that right moment was, which was why he was sitting in this sports bar with Seb and Chris after bidding a passionate goodbye to Lily. She’d wanted him to go with her to her parents’ house to pick up Nicky but he couldn’t look her mother and father in the eye until he came clean. He’d promised to take them both to dinner tonight to make up for breakfast.

“Beers are on me,” Dane said as the waitress came to take their order.

“The burgers and wings are too,” Chris retorted. “You pulled me out of a warm bed. I’d planned to spend the day making love to my woman. This crisis you’re having better be damn good.”

They ordered a round of beers, three burgers – two with cheese, and a platter of the hottest damn wings they made. The waitress seemed to be in a hurry to leave the table after Chris’s remark and Dane didn’t blame her.

“I’m sure Susie will be there when we’re done,” Seb said with a smirk. “Unless you think you’re not satisfying her and she’s just waiting for the opportunity to move another man into your bed.”

“I’ve got everything under control,” Chris boasted, grinning like a man in love. “I just had other plans. So I’ll ask again. What’s the problem? Didn’t you have your first date with Lily last night? Did you crash and burn already? Everything looked fine when we saw you.”
