Seducing Celestine (3 page)

Celestine was intrigued and slightly relieved he did not mention their previous meeting. She was not ashamed of what she did. She just did not want everyone knowing her business. If Tess could keep Nick a secret, so could she.

“I’m glad you’re here, Nicky, as I want you to have a look at the kitchen and tell me if you can add those extra shelves for me straightaway.” Tess turned to Celestine in explanation. “Nick is not only a dear friend but he also runs a construction company. He’s doing me a favor putting in some extra shelves in the kitchen for plates and stuff. Isn’t he sweet?”

“He’s a darling,” Celestine responded overly sweetly. It was weird being with him and Tess in the same room, knowing what they had all done.

“Can you show Nick to the kitchen, Cellie? I want to show Brad some of the engagement gifts that have arrived.” Tess dragged her man out of the room.

“Show me the kitchen, baby.” Nick moved to stand close beside her.

“I’m not a baby.” He did not seem so tall last night. Celestine was overwhelmed by the size of him. He was a man mountain.

Nick leaned down and whispered close to her ear.

“You’re sweet and cute and cuddly.”

“Whatever.” Celestine wanted to sound calm and unaffected but that was kind of hard with hot breath on her neck bringing back memories of last night. The man was still imprinted inside her body.

“You know you’ve got a love bite on your neck.” The reddish mark on her neck stood out like a beacon to Nick. This woman was marked for life, she just did not realize it yet.

Celestine put her hand to her neck and scowled at him. She had thought she had covered that up with concealer. But of course he would know it was there.

“Do you want to look at the kitchen, or what?”

“Lead on and I shall follow.” Nick stuck close to her heels. He would see to “or what” when he got into the kitchen.

“You don’t have to stand so close. Are you afraid you’ll get lost?” Celestine pushed through the swing doors of the large modern kitchen and tried to distance herself from her large companion. He was so close to her the she could feel the contained tension of his cock against her ass.

Nick had no plans on being outdistanced. He knew the minute he came into this house this morning he was going to fuck Celestine Holt again. One time with her would never be enough.

“No, I just want to be close to you.” Nick crowded her up against a kitchen bench.

“Why?” She knew why but wasn’t about to go down that path again. That path was sexually fantastic but where was it going to lead to? “What are you doing?” Celestine slapped at the large hands that moved under the skirt of her light sundress.

“I want to touch you.”

“We’re in a kitchen where anyone can see us.” Celestine struggled to keep her panties on. His big hands seemed to be everywhere.

“So?” Nick asked as if he did not find the fact at all significant. He pulled her panties down despite her protests. “Don’t wear panties anymore.” He slid them into his pocket.

“What?” Just the husky way he said it made Celestine wet.

“I need to have access to you at all times.” Nick’s hand slid straight in between her legs. He felt her jump in reaction. That she was wet already pleased him.

The man had one hand on her pussy and the other on her ass, kneading her cheeks, and Celestine felt utterly helpless to move. She was held in place by their mutual lust.

“You’re awfully sure of yourself.” She gasped as his fingers circled her clit slowly. Celestine felt a familiar surge of heat run through her. Her head fell back in pleasure.

“Baby, you and I are just meant to be.” Nick was turned on just watching her reaction.

“We can’t do this now.” Though lord knows she wanted to. The need to have Nick inside her again was overwhelming.

“Why not?” Nick asked as he placed his hand around her waist and lifted her up onto the kitchen countertop, spreading her legs to accommodate the width of his body.

As Nick slid the shoulder straps of her sundress down, Celestine knew if he touched her breasts she would be lost. Oh hell, she was lost from the moment she met him.

“Anyone can walk in right now.” Just the thought of her being caught naked with Nick inside her was wildly exciting. She had never felt this way before with any other man. She never allowed anyone to have control over her until now. She was playing by Nick Swan’s wild rules.

“Tell me to stop.” Nick pulled her bra off completely and put it into his other pocket as another keepsake. His large hands descended on the breasts.

“Stop,” Celestine choked out softly as his fingers circled her nipples.

“Say it like you mean it.” Nick’s head lowered to suck her breasts.

“I…” Whatever extremely rational thing she had been planning to say dissolved under the hungry suction of Nick’s mouth on her breast. “Oh God…” She clasped his head to her.

“Undo me…” Nick lifted his head and whispered against her mouth.

As his mouth once again descended on her breasts, Celestine gave up any pretense of not wanting to have sex with Nick and unzipped his pants. She wanted him. What was really wrong was that? Nothing that she could see. And, yeah, sure, the fact they were about to have sex in the kitchen was probably not a wise thing to do but being smart was not the be-all and end-all in life. Pleasure rated highly as well.

“Oh sweet mercy…” Nick’s cock sprang forward and overflowed her hands. Was there a
Guinness Book of Records
measurement for cock size? If so Nick Swan had to be in the running for the title. He was huge. Celestine licked her lips in anticipation.

“I’m glad you approve, baby, as you and my cock are going to be spending a lot of quality time together.” Nick grabbed her hips and pulled her forward.

“We can’t do this here!” It was only a halfhearted plea for rationality as she wrapped her legs around his waist in response.

“Why not?”

“Someone will see us.”

“Do you care?”

“Don’t you?”

“Not particularly. It’s just a simple fact that I want you and I plan to have you.” Nick breathed the words against her mouth. He smiled as he felt Celestine shudder in response. “Do you want me?”

There was a bleedingly obvious answer to that.
Hell
,
yes
,
and do it now
! Celestine was wet with wanting.

“Yes.”

“Then that’s all we need to worry about. Reach into my back pocket and get a condom.”

Celestine did as requested and found the foil packet. She ripped it open with her teeth and slowly sheathed his tight cock.

“Hold on, baby, it’s going to be hard and fast.” Nick pushed inside her.

Last night she was unsure how his cock would ever fit inside her. Today, she knew he fit and she wanted all of him inside her now. Celestine put her hands on his ass, urging him in and on. She moaned as he filled her completely. She had never felt anything as good as Nick hard and hot inside her body.

Nick slowly starting thrusting in and out of her, building up the pace as his lips devoured hers in a hungry kiss.

Celestine didn’t know whether it was the man, or that they were doing it in a room anyone could walk in to but her orgasm was building up swift and sharp as he started pounding into her with an urgency that matched her own need to come.

“Oh…oh…” Celestine screamed as the orgasm started to overwhelm her.

Nick laughed.

“I like a woman who shows her appreciation. Come for me, baby.” He thrust several more times and felt the tremor rip through Celestine’s body and his own as they came together, Celestine crying out his name incoherently.

“Is everything all right, Cellie?” Tess called out very loudly as she approached the kitchen.

“Bloody hell!” She was in a kitchen being screwed by a god and her best friend was just about to walk in. Celestine pushed Nick from her body and jumped down from the bench. She quickly pulled up her shoulder straps and smoothed down her skirt. She was completely aware that she was braless and she hoped Tess did not notice.

“Are you okay?” Tess looked from Celestine to Nick. “I heard a scream.”

“Celestine thought she saw a mouse.” Nick looked at Celestine solicitously.

“In my kitchen? No way! Brad, darling, can you and Nick check the kitchen out for this mouse. I need to talk to Cellie.”

Celestine found herself being dragged her out into the lounge room.

“You had sex with Nick, didn’t you?”

Was it that obvious? Okay, maybe the scream did give it away. It certainly wasn’t an “oh dear, there’s a nasty mouse” scream. It was more a “oh, this man inside me is going to split me in two but I don’t care” scream.

“I did not have sex with Nick!” she lied, as if affronted at the accusation.

“Liar!” Tess grinned at her friend.

“Am not!” Celestine was not sure how she thought about the whole Nick thing so she wasn’t really ready to discuss it with anyone, let alone Tess.

“You have no bra on.”

“So?” Celestine crossed her arms over her breasts, feeling her nipples harden in memory of Nick’s mouth.

“Your face is flushed, your lips are swollen and you look like you have been well and truly shagged.” Tess shook her head teasingly “So tell me about your moonlight ride last night. Seems it’s flowed over into the daylight.”

“What?” Innocent look number three hundred and twelve from Celestine Holt.

“I heard you scream last night and it wasn’t in fear.”

Celestine flushed red with embarrassment.

“Why didn’t you say something?”

Tess grinned at her obvious discomfort at being caught out.

“What could I say other than way to go?”

The two women broke into a conspiratorial fit of the giggles.

“That man has a huge cock!” Celestine hadn’t meant to say that but she felt the leftover heat of Nick inside her body.

“I know.” Tess smiled in memory.

“There is a strong possibility that I have slut-like tendencies. I get wet just looking at Nick and I have never come so fast in my life.”

Tess threw back her head and laughed.

“I tell you if I wasn’t engaged—”

“But you are,” Celestine interrupted quickly. She suddenly did not want to think of Nick with anyone but herself. Yep, completely rational after having sex with the man twice.

“Are you jealous?”

Celestine snorted at this remark. Of course she damn well was. She was a woman, for God’s sake, who just had the best sex of her life. She was entitled to feel a little possessive. But she also felt the need to lie as well.

“No, as if! It’s just a fling.”

“Maybe, maybe not. Nick never took me in the daytime.”

“It doesn’t mean anything.” It meant something, Celestine just wasn’t sure what.

“We’ll see,” murmured Tess, unconvinced. She grinned wickedly at her friend. “Can you walk?”

“Just.”

———

As engagement parties went it was a hit. Plenty of food, alcohol and people in high spirits as they toasted the happy couple. Celestine was pleased for Tess but personally over the whole thing. Why would you want to get married if you had to go through all this hoopla? Wasn’t the point of getting married to be with someone and not whether you had a big party? Or maybe she was just a jaded bitch.

“Yeah, that would be it,” Celestine muttered to herself as she made her way upstairs to escape the noise and crush of people. Free food and alcohol brought out friends you hadn’t heard from in ages.

“Running away?”

Celestine stiffened and turned to face Nick Swan. She had been trying to avoid him all night but it was damn near impossible. He seemed to dog her footsteps, turning up beside her or behind her and always touching her lightly yet caressingly, making her aware of him at all times. He only had to be in the house for Celestine to be aware of him.

“Just getting away from the hungry hordes.”

“Yes, people like to party, especially when it’s free.” Nick moved in close to her. “You smell great.”

Celestine gulped loudly. She knew where this was going. Hot, fabulous sex. She had half sort of decided she did not want to go there again as there was no future in it. Not that she was looking for a future with any man, let alone Nick Swan. To be honest, she had no idea what she wanted anymore. Though wild sex with Nick Swan was hovering at the top of her to do list.

“I should go downstairs and…”
And what exactly am I going to do downstairs that
’
s going to keep you away from me
?

“I think you should stay upstairs with me.” Nick caught her to him, his hands pulling her hips to settle firmly against his already hard cock. “You’re wearing underwear.” Nick could feel the outline of it under her dress.

“So?” A shiver of wild anticipation ran down Celestine’s spine.

“I told you not to wear panties.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Like I’m going to do what you say.” Even as she said the words, Celestine knew he was going to make her take them back.

Nick smiled down at the woman in his arms.

“Take your panties off.”

Just the way he said the words made Celestine wetter than she thought possible. She wanted to drop her panties to her knees. But she also wanted to see what Nick would do if she didn’t.

“No.” She knew this would be an instant challenge to Nick.

“Then I’m going to have to punish you, baby.” Nick picked her up in a fireman’s lift over his shoulder before Celestine had a chance to speak.

“What the…” Her head was flung down against Nick’s firm ass as he carried her toward a nearby bedroom that was being used to house people’s coats. Celestine tried to struggle and to fight but to be honest it was only a halfhearted attempt.

“You are the sort of woman that needs a good spanking.”

“You wouldn’t…” It would be humiliating—and exciting.

“Oh but I would.” Nick reached a nearby bed and dropped her on it. Before Celestine had a chance to escape Nick was on her, dragging her across his lap so she was lying facedown on the bed. Nick grabbed the hem of her dress and whipped it up, uncovering her lace-covered ass. “That you wear a bra I understand because you’re so big and suckable and I wouldn’t want any man looking at you. But panties, you don’t need them.”
