Consumed (18 page)

A moment later, when he returns he’s naked. He drops something on the couch and touches my shoulders. His hands trails down my arms until he reaches my wrists and has brought my hands together behind my back

I wait for him to bind my hands together.

Then he surprises me. 

Releasing my wrists, he grabs whatever it is he brought back to the couch. When he touches me again, cold leather wraps around my right thigh. I glance down my body just in time to see him hook the cuff, using the metal clasp found on the inside of my thigh to stretch it taut across my skin.

“What is this?” I gasp, as he does the same thing to my left leg. 

“These,” he starts, taking my right wrist and placing it against the side of my thigh, “are bondage cuffs.” To demonstrate, he unhooks a separate, smaller cuff that’s attached to the outside of the leather that’s attached to my leg. I try to slow my erratic breathing as he tightens it around my wrist and secures it. “Because you couldn’t keep those hands of yours out of my fucking hair the last time I had you to myself.”

I give his leather contraption a test as soon as he’s secured my left wrist, and sure enough, I can’t move my arms.

A heavy wave of desire rolls through me, and when I drop my head forward against the back of the couch, he gives my ass another tap. 

“Stand up,” he orders, moving away from me.

Carefully, I slide backwards. When I nearly lose my footing getting off the couch, he reaches out and grabs me. “Thank you,” I whisper.

“Turn around.”

I turn compliantly. Massaging his thumb across my high cheekbone, he cups my breast with his other hand, rubbing my sensitive nipple between his thumb and forefinger until my breasts are tight and heavy. “You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The most beautiful thing that’s ever happened to me.”

“So are you,” I whisper, gaining a tiny smile from him and he kisses my forehead. When he leans back, he stares at me sternly.

“First, I’m going to taste that sweet pussy of yours. I’m going to lick, and taste, and fuck you with my tongue until you’re screaming.”

I squeeze my thighs tightly together. “And after that?”

His lips move into a wicked smile that shakes me to my core. “And after, I want you everywhere, every way.” The emphasis he puts on those last two words makes me gulp. 

“Every way,” I repeat, and he paces around me in a slow circle, giving my ass a little squeeze as he does so.

“I’m your first,” he says, and it’s more a statement than a question. Of course, he is. Before him, I would have never let the thought cross my mind. 

But now . . .

“Yes,” I reply breathlessly.

“Good.” As he comes around in front of me, running his hand along my flat stomach, he gives me a serious look. “You have to tell me it’s what you want. No matter what you decide, I want to hear it from you.”

This is similar to the game he played in February. He had seduced me to the point of distraction and the only way he would make love to me was for me to beg him to. Back then, I had waited too long, played too hard, and I’m not in the mood for any of those games today. 

I keep my eyes on his, too shaken to risk a glance at his cock—if I do, I’ll never have the nerve to go through with this. “I want you to fuck me everywhere,” I whisper.

He runs his tongue over his straight teeth. “Hearing you say that makes me want to start right here.”

“Then you should follow through.”

He shakes his head as he kneels in front of me, running his hands down the outsides of my legs until he reaches my ankles and then up the insides. When he comes to the leather strapped to my thighs, he nudges my legs apart. Wider and wider—so far that I have to arch against him to hold myself upright.

Without warning, two of his long fingers delve inside of me, testing my wetness. He pushes them in and out, not stopping until I’m shaking and my long red hair is falling over both of our faces.

“Please,” I cry out, and he turns his face to kiss the soft flesh between my legs. “Please, Lucas.”

He touches my clit, working it back and forth the two fingers that were just inside me. “You’ve never been this wet.”

No, I haven’t been, and I feel like I’m on fire as he teases me even more.

“Ah fuck,” he growls at last. In one swift motion, he has me on my back on the couch. Urgently, he slides my feet back until my legs are bent at the knees. He dips his head between my legs and licks me hard. “Your pussy drives me crazy, you beautiful girl. You taste like . . .” Instead of choosing a word of praise, he uses his mouth, hungrily plunging his tongue deep inside of me. 

A moan of pleasure rips from the back of my throat. 

“God, Lucas.” I shudder as he replaces his tongue with two of his fingers. He pumps them frantically in and out of my body as his teeth find my clit. When he sucks me into his mouth, I buck my hips wildly against his face. 

I can feel the orgasm building, can feel the frenzy shifting through me, and then I feel something new. Gasping, I start to sit up as his thumb presses against my ass. 

“Do you still want this?” he demands roughly, and I nod in frustration.

“Just . . . please.”

I cry out in pain and pleasure as he his finger slides inside of me, and a moment later, I feel his chest against mine and his shaggy, dark hair falls into my face. Spreading my slick folds apart with his erection, he fills me, muffling my moans with his lips, his tongue, letting me taste myself on him.

I meet each of his thrusts, rocking my hips against him as his fingers and cock move greedily within me. When I reach up to grip his shoulders, my hands don’t move and I scratch the outside of my own thighs instead.

“You tricky bastard,” I gasp, and he laughs against my mouth.

“I love you, Sienna,” he growls. “I love you more than I’ve ever loved anything in my goddamn life.”

When we let go together, and he pulls out of me and unhooks the straps around my thighs, I wrap my arms around his shoulders and bury my face into his neck. “God, I love you, too.”

Lucas

It takes a great deal of self-control not to wake Sienna the next morning just so I can feel her once more before our sound check. Yesterday and last night wasn’t nearly enough. After I’ve showered and dressed, I sit beside her on the bed in the master bedroom. She’s lying flat on her stomach, with the bedspreads wrapped messily around her naked body.

I touch the small of her back, letting my fingers roam over her soft skin. She whispers something incoherent that makes me smile. That’s one of the things about Sienna that makes her so irresistible, so different from any other woman I’ve ever been with. She always makes me smile. Gives me a touch of that warmth that I’m still getting used to. Makes me want to come into the light. 

Finding a pen and a pad of paper in the nightstand drawer, I write her a quick note:

Sound check at the venue. Order anything you want. I love you. 

Then, kissing her shoulder, I force myself to leave her there. As I take the elevator down to the lobby, I make a vow to spend as much of this afternoon as possible in that bed before I have to go back on the road and she has to fly home to Nashville. 

To my surprise, I’m the last one to make it to the venue. My band mates give me knowing looks as I come onto the stage, and I duck my head. “If you say a goddamn word, I’ll throw you into the pit,” I threaten, causing Wyatt to snort. 

“Looks like your night wasn’t shit,” he mutters as he slings his blue Kramer around the front of him. His nostrils flare. “Getting your sister to give me a break is like talking to a brick fucking wall.”

I throw my head back and laugh. He doesn’t know it yet, but Kylie’s already decided to meet up with us in a few stops. I’d talked to her at the end of last week, right before the Dallas show, and had managed to convince her to come. She claimed it was mainly because she wants to see our parents when we play in Atlanta, but she’s not fooling me with any of that bullshit. She can see our mom and dad at any time.

She’s drawn to everything about being on tour—the venues, the crowded bus, Wyatt McCrae. 

Fear of coming on this tour just to see Wyatt stepping out on her is what held her back in New Orleans in the first place. And now that word has gotten back to her from her friends on the crew that McCrae is succeeding in keeping his dick in his pants, she wants to be around again.

Sinjin stalks between Wyatt and me, whipping a set of his drumsticks out of the back pocket of his jeans. “Let’s do this shit so I can get back to my room.”

“Rough night, mother fucker?” I ask, and he twists in a complete circle, shrugging. 

“Spent too much money on booze and ended up kicking two drunk bitches out of my room.” He slams down behind the drums and scratches one of the sticks across his temple. It draws my attention to his bloodshot eyes. “So, I’d say it was shit.”

Since we’re all tired and desperate to get back to our hotels, this is the first time since the start of the tour that one of our sound checks goes down without a single hitch. As soon as we’re done and I’ve let Tyler know I’ll be around backstage for Sin’s party tonight, I leave the building with David trailing a few steps behind me. Just before I reach my rental car in the parking lot, Wyatt yells for me to slow the hell down. 

He’s never been one to beat around the bush, so when he starts off the conversation hesitantly, I know it’s going nowhere good. Finally, he says, “Cal and me were talking about stopping in Louisville before we go to—”

“Louisville’s not on the tour schedule,” I say. “Last minute shit never works out.”

 He sits down on the front of the black BMW. “Are you fucking with me? Tyler could call any venue in this country right this goddamn minute, and we’d be booked before he finished the pitch.”

I’ve got no doubt in my mind about that. Still, I’m not going to Louisville. I had stayed the fuck away from that place the last time we went on tour two years ago, and I have no intention of making an effort this time. “Then you, Cal and Tyler go. I won’t.”

“Cilla was all for it.”

Hearing that doesn’t do anything but make me see even more red. She spent most of her time drunk so why the hell would she remember anything that happened the last time we were in Louisville. Which to me, is pathetic, considering there’s a video of her online from four years ago, bitching at the audience at the venue we played in that night. Wyatt moves his head expectantly, and I give a tight smile. 

“Then, let me rephrase that: You, Cal, and Tyler go and take Wicked Lambs with you.” 

It wouldn’t be the first time he and Cal took off to do shit with another band, and I’m sure as hell it won’t be the last.

Wyatt holds up his hands defensively. “It’s not a big deal so pipe the fuck down.”

But it is. And I need to get out of here because I can feel my head starting to pound. This entire conversation is about to rip apart the rest of my day. Without another word, I stalk around to the driver’s door of the BMW. 

Wyatt has the good sense to jump off the front of the rental and he backs away, hooking his hands behind his head. I don’t spare him a second glance as I speed out of the parking lot.

I don’t know St. Louis as well as I do some of the other cities I’ve toured in, but that doesn’t stop me from driving around with the GPS turned off.  I don’t want to go back to The Avery just yet because I refuse to treat Sienna like shit just because I’m pissed off, so I drive through the city until I’m as relaxed as I’ll ever be today. Because of a traffic jam, I get back to The Avery later than I planned. 

Concierge stops me in the lobby to inform me that I’ve missed checkout, so I sign the paperwork to authorize another night’s stay on my credit card (and sign an autograph for the attendant’s son) before taking the penthouse elevator up to the top floor. 

“I’m back,” I yell out when I walk to the room, but she doesn’t respond. Dragging my tee shirt over my head, I toss it on the top of the bar along with the keys to my rental car. “Sienna?” When she still doesn’t say anything, I figure she’s still asleep. I make my way across the penthouse quietly, hoping I won’t disturb her.
