Kali Willows BUNDLE (Shadowed Desires Series) (15 page)

“—and no disappointment,” he finished.

A mutual grin was followed by the sweetest silence. His invading eyes were intoxicating. The butterflies somersaulted in her stomach. The urge to kiss him consumed her; her chest grew tight with anticipation. She couldn’t hold back any longer. She had to taste his lips.

Tawny inhaled deeply, gathering her courage. She placed her hands along the sides of his face, cradling his cheeks as she plotted her target. His reception made it easy for her to be the initiator. With a final exhale, she released the last of her modesty and leaned in, soliciting the first taste of his succulent mouth.

Although she initiated the kiss, she succumbed to his commanding lips. With obsessive force, he pulled her against the hardness of his body, but leaned his head back and examined her eyes.

“So stranger, are you up for a little adventure?” He peered down at her, taunting, moving closer to her and then pulling away when she tried to accept him.

“Are you?” She challenged with a seductive grin. Mirroring his tease, she held back as he moved in again. She leaned farther as he gripped her waist, urging her close and not letting go.

“You have no idea.”

“Neither do you. It’s been a long time for me, and I have a lot of catching up to do.”

He clutched her hair while he pulled her to his fervent lips. Lost in the warm wetness of his kiss, she was surprised to discover her hands moving of their own accord, pulling open the cold, wet shirt, and exploring the hard plains of his chest and abdomen with her fingers. The heat of his skin and firmness of his sculpted muscles spurred her on to push the sopping clothes off his shoulders. Accepting his tongue with hers, and his hands around her body, she welcomed the impatient removal of her dress and then her chemise.

While his roaming hands fondled the shape of her corset, her aching breasts spilled over the confines of her bodice. The exquisite heat of his mouth quested down her neck to her chest. She let out a sigh of bliss, and then a gasp when he captured the peak of her erect nipple in his teeth and sucked it into his warm mouth.

She tugged at his pants, pushing them off his hips and gripping the firm flesh of his ass as he stepped out of the restriction of his trousers. He reclaimed her lips, holding the back of her neck and pulling her closer. His tongue danced around hers, while he removed the rest of her garments, leaving her only in her mask.

His powerful hands stroked along the flesh of her inner thighs. His penetrating eyes bewitched her.

“I have something you want.” Giving a devilishly sexy grin, his hand grasped hers, guiding it down his chest, along his abdomen, until it rested on his sinewy flesh.

“Oh, you certainly do.” She gripped it eagerly, stroking its length and cupping the head, while she trailed her tongue along the shape of his succulent lips. His breathing sped up and a low groan built in the back of his throat and rolled out as her tongue swept the inside of his mouth, darting away at his reprisal. She stroked his hardness again, a little firmer, a little slower while she savored his moist kiss.

Tawny paused, leaned back, and observed his reaction when she brought her hand back up to her tongue and licked it leisurely, releasing wetness into her palm. With a seductive grin, she grabbed hold of his steely hard on, massaging it, the swelling vein along the shaft pulsating in her hand.

“Oh, I’m gonna make you squeal.” He pulled her closer, devouring her mouth. After slowly breaking the kiss, he rifled through the basket with one hand, pulling out strawberries and chocolate. Eying the sweet temptations, her mouth watered at the sight of the plump fruit.
Chocolate and sex, it can’t get any better than that
.

The crackling of the burning logs sputtered and misty swirls of musky smoke filled the air as they moved past the blasting heat of the fire, aiming for the blankets without once parting.

Her mystery man tossed the treats near the end of the pallet, and with a swift, but tender motion, he eased her onto the pile of blankets, positioning himself on top of her. Her anticipation amplified with the warmth of his chest pressing against her hardened nipples and the divine pleasure of his swiveling hips against hers. The light chafing of his rock hard cock against her flesh was sheer ecstasy.

“Do you want me?” He ran his tongue along the contours of her ear.

“Yes,” she panted.

“So impatient,” he teased, ravaging her neck, sucking and biting. “God, you’re gorgeous. The taste of your kiss is so sweet. I can’t wait to enjoy the rest of you.” Gentle sweeps of his tongue over her quivering lips sent spasms through her wet folds.

His hands explored the lengths of her body as she dragged the tips of her nails along the plains of his muscular shoulders and back.

He eased her thighs apart with his fingers and massaged her wetness, evoking louder groans of euphoria from her. The bucketing rain grew deafening. Blinding light filled the tower, simultaneous with a crashing clap of thunder, which resonated throughout the stone and the ground beneath them.

Tawny’s stomach fluttered with excitement when he propped himself up with his arms, and trailed a flurry of kisses down her neck and chest, sucking and biting. The wet locks of his trailing hair glided down her stomach, caressing her skin, leaving cooling moisture that sent shivers running over her.

“Oh I want a sweet snack.” He dipped a big, juicy strawberry into the chocolate.

The heated trail of his lips paused where his gifted fingers massaged, pinched, and rubbed her clit. The other hand, he grazed the cold fruit over her fleshy folds.

The heat of his breath on her skin was followed by a gentle wetness of him licking along her throbbing pussy. Tawny’s back arched as she welcomed his hungry sampling. The electrifying sensation of his hot tongue sliding into her swollen mound sent spasms of delight throughout her core. Looking up at her, he bit into the red berry, sucking the fruit while he drove his finger inside of her, massaging her inner walls to elation. Tawny shuddered with bliss, wanting him desperately.

Giving an entrancing stare, he paused with a grin before burying his face between her legs again. Her engorged slit spasmed with his urgent sucking, flicking, and then gentle biting. The talented masked rogue brought her to the brink of explosion. The intensity of his tantalizing tongue massaging her throbbing flesh sent her reeling as she panted with delight. “Oh my God. I’m gonna come.”

“Oh yeah, come for me. I wanna eat you out when you come.” He slid his finger in, massaging the walls of her pussy as he suckled harder on her clit.

“Oh God, oh God—” She squealed and grunted as her body exploded with shooting spasms of sheer ecstasy. She jerked violently. Her heated wetness spilled out and he lapped up her juices hungrily.

Tawny guided his mouth back to hers. Tremors rolled over her quivering body, and she couldn’t contain her husky rasps. She couldn’t wait any longer; she wanted him now, more than she had wanted anyone in years. Probing down the plains of his sculpted abdomen, she grasped his thick shaft, massaging and stroking. “I bet I can make you come, too,” she challenged.

“You’re off to a good start.” He held her hand over his cock, slowing the speed of her strokes and squeezing her fingers tighter.

Pushing his chest away with a firm hand, she eased him back up onto his knees and sat up. Tawny gave a seductive grin as he watched her. The sheer joy of having control drove her excitement higher. “You like to watch, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I’d love to watch you suck my cock.”

She tasted his hardness. His low moan prompted her to lick and then suck on the tip, empowered when his eyes closed and his head tilted back. Tawny took pleasure in savoring the engorged flesh, inducing untamed growls from him.

Mastering his cock, she cupped his balls in her left hand, and held her right at the base of his shaft, gripping tightly, taking pleasure at the sensation of his pulsing vein, and sucked and nibbled her way back to the tip. Moving her head in a slight rolling motion, she encircled the head repeatedly, consuming his length.

She was caught by surprise when he pulled away. His eyes dark with lust, he grabbed her shoulders and pinned her back onto the blankets. The sweetness of his breath brushed over her face as he hovered, gasping, far enough away that their lips could barely graze. His stare was penetrating as he tantalized her, rubbing his steely hard on against her dripping pussy, offering a smoldering grin.

Eager and frustrated, she pulled at his hips, welcoming him, but he resisted, still smiling through his black mask that glimmered in the candlelight. She was torn between her desire to see under his disguise and the opportunity to have all of him. With precision, he pivoted his torso, teasing her, moving closer, rubbing up and down the heat of her throbbing flesh. The confidence in his movement spurred her on, had her clawing at his back, begging for him without words.

“Do you want me?”

“Yes.”

“Then say it.” A teasing roll of his hips fueled her yearning as his hardness massaged her mound.

“I want you.”

She writhed under his powerful body as he pleasured her with the scraping of his whiskers around her lips, inflaming the urgency in tasting his kiss; the heated aroma of his musky cologne enthralled her.

“Uh—I can’t take it anymore.” He sat up, pulling her shoulders toward him. “It’s time to make you squeal.”

Ready for this moment, her breathing quickened. She watched as he grabbed one of the condoms and sheathed himself. Putty in his hands, she succumbed to his strength. He spun her around, landing her on her hands and knees as he gripped her hips from behind. Her pulse raced, her heart pounded.

“Shit, you turn me on. Do you want me inside you? Do you?”

“Yes, I want you inside me, now.”

“I’m gonna fuck you so hard.”

In a swift movement, he plunged deep inside her tight wetness. Tawny’s cries of ecstasy filled the tower as the storm flashed and boomed outside.

“Do you like that?”

“Yes, don’t stop.”

Increasing his tempo, he plunged deeper inside her, harder, faster, clutching her hips while driving with desperate force into her. Whimpering with delight, she pushed against him in blissful swaying motion. Happy to be dominated by him, Tawny held her ass in the air while he pounded her hard from behind. He gripped her shoulders, pushing them down as he pumped, and she shuddered with each slamming thrust.

His fingers trailed down her arms, gripping her wrists. “You like giving me control?”

“Yes.” Her body was ablaze with rippling waves of glorious contractions.

“What do you want?”

“I want you to come inside me.”

“Oh yeah, I’m gonna explode so deep inside you.”

He impaled her willing body and she arched her back, tilting her pelvis as he slammed into her, sending a shockwave of ecstasy through her core. She came screaming out with bliss.

He continued driving even faster into her taut, swollen flesh. In one final climactic instant, his harsh growl of masculine satisfaction filled the air.

“Oh fuck, you’re amazing.” His pace slowed, with long, deep thrusts, shuddering as his hands gripped her wrists. Finally, he collapsed onto her.

Tawny quivered beneath him as residual tremors jerked through her body.

***

The squawking of seagulls sounded closer. Tawny opened her eyes in surprise for a moment, until she realized where she was. The disheveled mound of blankets had been strewn over the floor, one thin satin cover draped lightly over her body. She strained her eyes against the growing light that beamed through fractured stained glass.

The empty champagne glasses and bottle sat on the table alongside the half-eaten strawberries and chocolate and the faint odor of candle smoke still lingered in the air.

A brief stretch of her limbs revealed the stiffness in her back and thighs. They had made love into the early morning light before she’d fallen asleep in his arms.

Tawny rolled over, patting down the empty blankets and pillow beside her. Her remarkable conquest had vanished. It hadn’t occurred to her that one-night arrangement didn’t speak to what would happen when morning would come. With a sigh, she curled up, hugging his pillow as waves of self-conscious inhibitions returned.

“Did you sleep well, darling?” a rough voice called from across the room.

Startled, Tawny sat up, clutching the pillow against her chest. “You’re still here.” She released a half relieved sigh.

“Yes, I am, but I’m not the one with the history of taking off without saying good-bye—Tawny.”

“What? How did you know my n—”

“I know everything about you.” Holding up a scrap of lavender and black lace, he glared at her with hatred shooting from his eyes.

Sometime while she slept, he had removed her disguise.

“What? How?” Tawny stood up, wrapping the blanket around her as panic surged through her. “How do you know me?”

Her intimate masked stranger got up from his chair and walked toward her, staring her down with a fierce look. Clad in last night’s damp and disheveled costume, he approached her holding her lavender and lace attire in front of him with pursed lips. “How many guys have you dumped and crushed? You don’t realize who I am?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about; I don’t even know your name.”

Without a word, he watched her through the almond shaped slits of his mask. Welled up tears began collecting at the red rims of his eyes as he clenched his teeth. He threw her mask on the floor at her feet.

Tawny bent down, squatting as she worked to inhale through the pangs of fear. All strength had left her body. With a heavy hand, she reached to pick it up, and cringed when a second mask of black satin dropped beside her delicate disguise.

Tawny collected the mask looking at it with regret. Tears began to seep from her eyes as she sniffed back the dripping moisture from her nose. His musky scent lingered on it. She inhaled, savoring the last of any joy this adventure had left to offer. Salty wetness dribbled down over her trembling lips. She didn’t want this. She didn’t want to know anything about him. Now, the complications she feared had become reality. Gathering her strength, she rose to her feet, holding the two masks, avoiding his stare.
