Evangelina Green (7 page)

Instead of turning her loose, he stroked her
arms, shoulders, up her neck, and through her hair. He felt the
lump starting to rise on the back of her head. She closed her eyes
and moaned at the gentle touch of his big warm hands. She felt safe
and shielded as a fire built inside her. When she opened her eyes,
he had stopped touching her but still held her head, fingers
threaded through her hair. The look he was giving her was intense,
frightening, and hungry.

"I like the way you moan when I touch you,
Angel. Feeds my ego like you wouldn’t believe. I want to hear you
moan close in my ear as I touch you the way I really want, with my
hands touching your soft skin, weighing the feel of each of your
breasts. My fingers making those pretty, pink nipples harden into
diamond points, just begging for my mouth. I want to feel your hot
sex tightening over my fingers while I explore and tease you. Then
when I find your special place, and I will, you’ll come
apart...just for me. "

Her sharp intake caused her chest to heave
against him. Accident? She couldn’t be sure, but it felt so good to
feel herself rub against him. The throbbing she felt in her core
was a sure sign she would do it again, given the chance. His crude
yet sexy words were like hot lava, slowly dripping over her whole
body. Igniting a flame inside her, feeling it move from her stomach
to between her legs.

"I don’t know. What? I mean why? I’m
not...and you are so...and I shouldn’t...when...I... This is
just...so... Why me?”

She whispered and she couldn’t move her eyes
away from his as he lowered his head and his lips touched hers just
once, in the barest of kisses.

"Lord woman! Have you
looked in a mirror lately? Besides being a knockout, you just walk,
talk, and breathe sexy. That's why. So I know why, but I need to
know
when
, Lina.
You have me in knots. I can't think of anything but my need. The
need I feel when I see you or hear your sultry voice. I need to
hold you, protect you, tease you, lick you, kiss you and have you
wrap your legs around me, for hours and hours."

She was hypnotized. Had to
be, because all she could do was nod and stretch up to touch her
lips to his again.
Hell-to-the-yeah!
He picked her up
and headed to the front stairs and half way up to her room as she
almost panicked, until he nuzzled her neck and whispered into her
ear.

"I want to take your clothes off slowly,
while I learn every inch of your soft skin starting with your
thighs. Then I'll move up and lick all the sweet cream I can smell
it on you right now. Your scent is overpowering my good sense, but
it’s promising heaven, Angel. Will you take me to your bed? Let me
love you?"

Okay, who could resist that? Not Lina. Not
from Keaton. He seemed to be honest about how he felt, and he was
acting as if he felt desperate for her. She breathed out the air
she’d been holding and started kissing and licking his neck,
sucking his earlobe and kissing her way down his chin to his mouth.
Nibbling, tasting, and loving the smell of him, the
pine-woodsy-grassy cologne that was his alone.

"Keep that up, kitten, and we won’t make it
to your room.”

He took her mouth in a
kiss that left her weak. How could he do that to her with just a
kiss? It was a good thing he was carrying her because she couldn’t
stand. She’d been kissed before but she actually went weak when
Keaton touched her with his soft lips, kissing her so softly and
that tongue!
Oh my god!
He nearly had her fainting she was so weak with
lust. He licked her lips over and over, kissed her chin, and up to
her ear where he whispered, “I need you so badly.” He licked around
the outside of her ear and his hot breath on her wet ear made her
shiver with longing. “You are the only one who can save me,
Angel.”

She was being carried up to her room by this
giant of a man. He was so handsome, strong, protective, and his
kisses could melt an iceberg. She was not accustomed to these
feelings or this much attention. Ever.

It was overwhelming, but
she fought the lightheaded feeling. She didn’t want to faint and
miss a thing. This was like a fantasy island vacation and her
muscled, surfer dude, one-night stand was taking her away. Her
romance books were so right! These things
do
happen!

He kicked her door open with one foot,
walked inside and kicked it shut. Standing her on her own, he drew
her against him and kissed her. No, he was feasting on her. She’d
never been this aroused and had never, ever done what she was
contemplating. This was so unlike her and she was so happy! He was
so hot. Just looking at him made her weak, wet, and wanting. She
was going to have sex with a man who was basically a stranger, and
she was really looking forward to it. Finally. Maybe she should say
something about protection or that she’s a virgin...but that might
ruin the mood.

He stilled and she cursed herself as she
realized she’d said that last bit out loud. Damn! His eyes bored
into her as he held her against his hard body.

"You don’t have to worry about protection
now lil' one. We'll wait and do this right. We won't be having a
quickie or a nooner after you’ve been attacked by some stupid
drunk. I’m ashamed of myself and feel damn selfish thinking about
how I’ve acted, but you affect me that way. So hot and primal...I
can't stay away from you."

He was shaking from the
effort of controlling his inner beast. "I have to touch you. It’s
like an addiction. I just need to see you and I know I'm okay. I
hear your voice and I feel comforted. But I cannot use you that way
to satisfy my needs. I have to wait until you are clear headed
and
you
want what
I want with you. This isn’t about me, it’s about
us.
Your adrenaline is
way up from having to handle that drunken idiot alone. I’m so sorry
I wasn’t here to help you. You probably aren’t thinking straight
right now, and I won’t take advantage of that, not right now,
Angel. I will have you but only when you are ready for me. It will
be for hours, baby. I want to make you feel more than you thought
possible. Results guaranteed. Deal?" He held her tightly and
grinned into her upturned face.

She just stared at him.
Damn, damn, damn! She’d blown it. She gulped and nodded, spellbound
by his green eyes. She felt stupid, embarrassed and totally unable
to speak. Yeah, so she was a virgin. That had to change someday,
right? Oh God, she wanted it to be now and with Keaton, but he was
loosening his hold on her. She could still feel his hard erection
pushing against her. Pushing in a rhythm that held promise of much
more to come.
Damn
!

"I’m sorry. I just thought...ya know...that
guys were okay with that, but you’re right. God, why did I even
think you would? Please, I feel bad enough about this. Guess I know
how you feel about it now too, don’t I? You wanted someone with
some experience, not someone you’d have to instruct the whole way.
I get it. No problem. You don’t have to pretend anymore. Please,
just go.”

She was blushing and she
was sure it was nose to toes. How much more mortified could she be?
Didn’t all guys want to be the first one? Or was she just being
naive. She didn’t know. Wouldn’t be the first time she was just too
unsophisticated for most men. One
boyfriend
had hit her when he'd
learned she was a virgin. Said she was useless to him. She never
learned. Her eyes were wet with unshed tears.

"Oh baby, don’t even go there! I want you so
bad I can’t walk right now. I can’t think straight when I’m near
you and if I kiss you again, it won’t stop at that. You're so damn
hot! Especially when you don’t think you're sure of what you’re
doing. It drives me out of my mind. You are a natural when it comes
to showing how you feel about people and from what I’ve felt with
you so far...I feel very cared about." She gave him a watery smile.
He took a deep breath and continued. "And, although the thought of
sliding into you all hot and wet..." He hesitated, swallowing to
get his dry throat working to get the words he felt formed into
words. "...is truly very tempting, I won’t take you like some horny
animal. You deserve some romance, and I want to be the only man who
gives it to you. Maybe after a nice dinner, then maybe we’ll take a
swim in the pond? Drying each other after our swim or just staying
in the water, together in every way. Then I will tell you how much
you please me. How much I love the way your eyes sparkle, and when
you smile at me, how I melt and become your eager servant." He
kissed her deeply, then barely kissed the tip of her nose.

"I’ll kiss my way up your legs. I’ll slowly
take the time to make you fly off the ground, screaming my name.
That's the way I’d want to have you, your first time, the way I
want you to have me. Isn’t that what you’d rather have?”

She just stared at him, her mouth slightly
open, breathing heavy. Oh yeah... that’s what she wanted, but she
wanted it now, not later! Slowly, shaking her head, she held onto
his hand harder.

"I don’t know if I want to wait, Keaton. I’m
being totally honest here. I’ve never felt this...whatever you’re
doing to me...and I know there’s more and I want it. Who are you?
How can you get under my skin like you do? You may be right. But,
you could be wrong and taking me to bed right now is so
tempting...I feel hot and...and I feel...desperate, weak and warm
all over. What are you doing to me?"

****

She was almost whispering
her honest, heart-felt words and she was nibbling his neck again
rubbing her pelvis against his throbbing erection. He wasn't
winning this battle and wasn’t sure he wanted to. When she said she
felt "hot" he almost came in his pants. She
was
so
hot
! He had no control around her.
This is what he wanted and she said she was ready. He was going to
mark her as his. Now!

"Damn, Lina, what you do to me should be
illegal. I’m so hard right now, I'm afraid I’ll explode like a
teenager on his first date, before I can give you what you should
have. What I want to give you...oh shit...yeah baby, more...do
that... Oh shit.”

****

He hissed as she ran her
hand down his chest and past his abs, until she slid just her
fingers under his waistband. She didn’t know what she was doing,
she was running on instinct. Apparently, very good instincts, and
continued to tease him anyway she could think of. She wanted this.
She wanted him. And now was
when
. She wanted all of it. All of
him.

"Show me Keaton. Tell me what you want. I
could please you. I really want to try. I haven’t ever felt
these...feelings. I feel tingly and edgy and I’m having trouble
breathing. I want you to touch me and put out this flame you’ve lit
inside me. Make me yours. Please? Now?"

She was lifted off her feet as he kissed her
so hard she felt her lips swelling and she loved it! His tongue was
dueling with hers as he slowly backed her to the bed. She felt the
mattress behind her and sat down. He almost tore his t-shirt as he
pulled it over his head. His belt buckle was eye level so she
leaned in. she kissed his rock hard abs, using one hand to unzip
him and the other to cup his very fine, hard ass. He was moaning
and growling, and it was the sexiest thing she’d ever heard. She
felt a gush of warm fluid between her legs. Her pussy was throbbing
after his hot, melting kiss and the sweet, erotic words he’d
spoken. How could this man make her feel like this? Like a hormonal
teenager in the back seat of a '57 Chevy.

****

He could smell her arousal
and he growled. He
had
to hold the beast back. She was so sweet and yes, innocent.
Christ! A virgin? How could he be her first? She was beautiful and
smart and funny and she hadn’t had another man? Were they
blind?

She was unzipping him, kissing his stomach,
sticking her tongue into his bellybutton. She was going to kill
him, but he welcomed this kind of death. He reached down between
their bodies smoothing his hand across her knee, up her thigh,
slowly, very slowly.

****

She was going to blow! He was moving too
slow and she wanted to tear his clothes off. She was wriggling,
trying to get closer to him and get her shirt off.

"Easy, Angel, let me undress you. I want to
take this slowly and make it just as good for you. It’ll be like
unwrapping my own special gift.”

"I feel like I’m going to explode, Keaton! I
need you to touch me and make me feel like I could be wanted. Touch
me like I might be beautiful, loved, and maybe sexy."

****

Her voice became almost inaudible. He
stilled and pulled back to stare into those beautiful green eyes of
hers. Her lips were swollen from his kisses and shiny from her
having just licked them. He felt the beast rising. He held the
image of those lips around his cock while he fucked her mouth. He
groaned over the picture in his mind that wouldn’t fade, him
hovering over her showing her all the other ways to make love. He
especially wanted to show her how taking her slow and easy before
he took her his way, hard and deep, with his Angel on her knees.
Another groan escaped...she was doing nothing and she was suddenly
everything to him. Just thinking of how he would make love to her
had another groan escaping.

"Who lied to you and said you weren’t
beautiful? Sexy? Hell yes! You are! Damn it! I’d like to strangle
the idiot who hurt you and your idea of yourself! Baby, you are
luscious, you have curves in all the right places, and your ass
is...oh God! I love your ass! Your eyes show all your emotions.
They pull me into you. Believe me when I see your lips, I want a
taste—for maybe an hour or two. The shape of your face is angelic,
you move with a hidden grace,” he smiled, “only interrupted when
you’re being clumsy.”
