The Guardian of My Soul (Soul's Desire) (23 page)

“Don’t mock me. I’m actually enjoying this.”

“What about your beautiful manicure?” he asked, circling my waist from behind as he nuzzled into my neck.

“You love me with and without it, don’t you?” I smiled, enjoying the tingling sensations he produced in me.

“I love you the way you are right now the most. No makeup, no fancy clothes. Your natural beauty is striking. You don’t need any of that stuff,” he said, placing his hands over mine while I washed the plates, spreading the foam higher on my forearms. Unexpectedly, his hands moved to my breasts and he molded them gently, filling his palms with the weight of them while he teased the tips into excited buds through my now wet T-shirt. “And I certainly love that you’re not wearing a bra,” he whispered in my ear, pressing his manhood against my bottom, forcing a gasp of pleasure from between my lips. “Baby, you’re so incredibly...touchable.”

“Alec...” I moaned, forgetting about the plates. The erotic tease of his fingers over my swollen flesh sparked erotic interest in my every cell. All I could think of was how good he felt, how incredible he made me feel and how fast I could get him naked. I turned around in his arms and cradled his face with my wet hands. The stubble that lightly shaded his cheeks grazed my palms. “I feel like I’ve been struck by lightning ever since you walked into my life.”

He nodded, regarding me through very serious eyes. “Struck by lightning. That’s a good way to explain how I felt as well.”

“I love you,” I murmured, my heart beating faster and my face turning red.

He grabbed my hips and pulled me flush against him. “I love you more.” He kissed me again, lingering, enticing.

Driven by passion and the overpowering need to be together, we began tearing each other’s clothes off, leaving a trail behind us all the way to the bedroom, where we fell naked on the bed. As his mouth descended upon me chills and electricity ran through my body like a source of ecstasy. He stroked me with such confidence, slipping his fingers into my inner wetness, making me ache for the sure stroke of his fully grown arousal.

“Alec, I want you so much. Deep, deep inside me...” I murmured in a broken voice, fondling my breasts.

He groaned before he kissed me hard, teasing the seam of my lips with his tongue, so I opened it a little to give him access and kissed him back the same way. His hands were not just on me—they were exploring and worshipping me, like he’d been waiting all of his life to touch me. When our mouths finally separated, his breaths came short and uneven like mine. The heat in his eyes intensified, becoming hotter, burning, and I could feel the pulse of heat in my sex. My aching empty channel grasped around nothing, wanting to be filled. Then his gaze landed on my heaving chest and he swallowed hard as he stared at it hungrily.

I threw my head back, making my spine arch, pushing my breasts out like an invitation. I bit down on my bottom lip, trying to keep the moans of ecstasy inside when I felt his lips closing around my hardened nipple and his fingers massaging the other one. The sensation was so delicious I never wanted him to stop sucking and nibbling me.

“Kristen...I want you on top,” he said seductively, then blew against my swollen nipple. My body convulsed, my arousal heightening like a volcano about to erupt. “So ready...”

I whimpered when he inserted two fingers deep inside my vagina. As he moved them in and out, I lifted my hips and begged him for more. His fingers felt so good. Alec stared deep into my eyes with a satisfied smile. He knew exactly what he was doing to me. “Oh,” I groaned in protest when he withdrew them, but to my surprise he took them straight into his mouth and sucked, visibly reveling in the taste of my juices.

His voice was sexy beyond belief when he said, “You taste so freaking good. You’re like a feast, a sweet treat for my tongue. I could eat you up all day.”

Good grief!
I only became wetter hearing his erotic words. I could hardly swallow over the lump in my throat. “Alec, I want to taste you too.” I voiced my thoughts, sounding low and raspy.

“Please, I love having your mouth on me.” Alec shifted and accommodated himself on the bed, giving me full access to his magnificent body.

“You are so hot. I can’t believe I can touch you anyway I want to.” I marveled as I moved closer to him. “Just look at you...” I reached out to trace a finger along his well- defined abs and hard pecs, then moved it down, following the small trail of hair which led south from his navel. When my hand moved across his balls he tensed and released a sexy growl, raising himself up on his elbows to get a better look at what I was doing. “Tell me what you like. I want to please you,” I murmured, giving him my most innocent look.

“Oh, you please me just fine. You nearly killed me the first time. Having your beautiful lips wrapped around me was paradise,” he replied, blazing heat emanating from his skin while the aroused length of him rested on his belly, craving to be touched.

Not wanting to keep him waiting any longer, my fingers wrapped around his member and I began to stroke it slowly, still mesmerized by the soft texture of his skin. Bending my head I rewarded the tip with a light kiss, then my tongue traced a slow and steady route along the length of the shaft, stopping at the sensitive head. I could see his legs were trembling slightly and his breathing grew shallow, so I took it in my mouth and laved it with my tongue.

He gasped and murmured, “Oh, Kris, baby...” He touched me, digging his fingers into my hair when I began to bob my head up and down, sucking and caressing him with my tongue and hand.

Empowered by his response, I continued to move my mouth in a rhythm as old as time, loving the feeling of control pleasuring him brought me. Alec held my head, told me encouraging words and I gave myself over to my instincts, humming my happiness.

“God, yes! Kris, that feels so good!” I ran my fingers lovingly over his hair-roughened thigh, feeling him tense. I knew his release was only seconds away and I was so turned on, I had to squeeze my thighs together to get even a bit of relief.

“Sweetheart...Kris, I’m about to...” he groaned. His piercing eyes locked with mine and I sucked harder, triggering his release.

I swallowed his essence, then licked the last few drops from the tip, wanting everything he could give me. Adoration for Alec flooded my soul as I watched him grow still, breathing heavily on his back with an expression of pure contentment on his face. “Was that okay?” I asked, curling next to him.

His arms came around me and he dragged me on his chest, stroking my back. “Okay is an understatement. It was more than perfect.” He kissed my forehead, cradling me tenderly. “You enjoyed it as much as I did, didn’t you?” As if to prove his words he reached down, cupping my mound. There was no way he could miss the evidence of my arousal. “God, Kris, I love touching you.” He fondled my vulva, rubbing me luxuriously.

I opened my legs, letting him play. One thing was becoming clear to me. The joy a man and woman could share was amazing. I passed my tongue across my lips to moisten them before I spoke, “You have shown me how beautiful making love can be. For whatever reason I used to be repulsed by the idea of giving oral sex. But I was wrong. I love it. Everything we do together is perfect. I love you, Alec. All of you...” I whispered, then pressed my lips against his still throbbing heart.

“You’re an amazing woman. Did you know that?” He didn’t let me answer as he thrust his tongue into my mouth, his fingers still sensuously exploring my womanhood, sending flutters of pleasure all through me. I couldn’t keep my hips still. Wanting to be closer, I turned to face him, placing one leg over his, exposing my vulnerable self to his questing fingers. As he worked his magic, I purred my pleasure. “How lucky can one man be?”

It was overpowering. My whole body craved what he could give me. “Alec, please. I need you inside of me...please?”

“Hell, yes.” He didn’t have to be asked twice. He was hard again and throbbing against my thigh.

Who would have ever thought I would be so insatiable?
“Hurry, I’m starving for you,” I begged. He started to get up, when I realized the condoms were in the nightstand which was on my side of the bed.

“Stay there.” I got one for him quickly and when I turned to him again I felt a rush of excitement in my vagina as I found him stroking himself. The wetness inside me dripped down my thighs. “Damn, that’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“Really?” He chuckled amused but I didn’t care, too fascinated by the erotic view.

I ripped the foil with my teeth and this time I managed to roll it in place myself. “Me on top you said?”

“Oh, yes. I want to watch you ride me.” He bared his teeth and I almost climaxed from sheer excitement. His hands steadied me as I straddled him, my knees on either side of his hips.

Placing my palms on his bulging pecs, I sank toward his erection and let him guide it to my entrance. I slowly slid down his taut manhood, feeling it stretching me and filling me completely. “Dear God,” I murmured, squeezing my eyes shut as I relished the sweet burn of my body accommodating his.

With reverence, Alec reached up to fondle and mold my quivering breasts. “I love to play with your nipples. They’re so responsive.” And he proceeded to drive me insane with his tweaking and rubbing, massaging them between his fingers. I felt the need to grind my pelvis in slow circles, then move my hips back and forth using his hard chest for leverage.

An exquisite pleasure invaded my senses. It was so much better than the first time as every nerve in my body homed in on the glorious sensations he was creating.

He groaned approvingly. “You feel so perfect for me, Kristen.” Releasing my breasts, he dug his fingers into my hips, setting the rhythm of my movements, wanting me to speed up.

I gladly complied, letting him guide me and show me how he liked it most. I lost track of time and our surroundings in his arms, focusing on nothing else but giving and receiving pleasure.

Alec bent his knees and moved with me for a while, searching for my orgasm, building it up, coaxing it from me, until I could feel it growing in the depths of my loins and radiating outward. He raised himself to a sitting position and my arms looped around his neck, while his hands cupped my bottom, squeezing it and urging me to continue.

Melting kisses sealed our lips together, locking our moans inside. I kept moving, pumping up and down his length, my sensitive nipples grazing his chest in the most pleasurable way. My mind turned blank, my ears rang and the walls of my vagina clamped around him tight as I teetered on the edge of climax for several long, blissful seconds. A sob tore from my throat and I crashed down, completely overtaken and consumed by my orgasm. My vagina convulsed, fluttering and pulsing, releasing my desire, as well as his own.

Staring into each other’s eyes, we sat there in one another’s arms, waiting for our breathing to normalize, neither of us willing to break the sweet connection between our bodies.

*  *  *

After four amazing days spent in our little paradise we were forced to return to reality and head home. Safely cocooned in the passenger seat while Alec was driving, I allowed myself to relive in my mind all the times we’d made love and the happiness he’d given me.

“Baby, are you asleep?”

My eyes flickered open and I turned to look at him. “No.”

“Is something wrong? You haven’t said much since we left.”

I sighed, twisting my fingers on my lap. “I just wish we didn’t have to leave that place. I’m afraid things won’t be the same between us when we get home.”

He reached out for my hand, entwining his fingers with my own. “We’ll find a way.”

I brought his hand to my lips and placed butterfly kisses on it. “You’d better come to my room every night and make love to me.”

“Every night?” He chuckled.

“Yes. I want to make up for all the years I’ve been a virgin,” I said playfully.

His head tilted back slightly as the laughter erupted from his throat, and I couldn’t help but laugh with him. “I’m happy and excited that you’re having such a good time with me.”

“Alec...I sure hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am. Are you?”

“Do you still need to ask? I thought it was pretty obvious by my reactions. I cannot fake something like that, Kristen. Don’t you know I can’t keep my hands off you?”

A knot unwound in my stomach. “I’m only making sure. I believe I still have lots to learn about pleasuring you.”

“And I’ll gladly teach you. You learn so fast.” He grinned.

“Well, I have the best teacher!”

It was late afternoon when we arrived in Los Angeles and Alec pulled over in front of a hotel to check in for the night.

“I wish we could go together. I don’t like being away from you for a moment,” he said before getting out of the car to retrieve his luggage from the trunk. Before he left, he knelt beside me, inside the open door of the car and kissed me passionately. “Drive safe going home and I’ll see you in the morning. And don’t forget that I love you.”

“I love you too.” I stared after him until he disappeared inside and then I drove home, missing him already. Pulling my phone out of my bag, I dialed Megan’s number and she picked up right away. “Hi, Meg.”

“Kris, I’m so glad to hear from you!” She erupted, sounding relieved. “Did you get home?”

“I’m a few blocks away. What about you?”

“Yes, we did half an hour ago. We actually had a good time. Matt was a little more loving than he’s been lately, but something is still off. He keeps saying he’s fine whenever I ask him, but I know him too well. Something has his mind preoccupied and I don’t think I can settle until I figure it out.” She sighed and I began to worry about them too. “Oh, and you need to tell me what you’re up to, girl. No more fooling around with me. You had me very worried.”

“I’m not fooling around with you, Meg. All I needed was some time on my own. Thanks for covering for me,” I murmured, not really sure of what to say to her about Matt. All I knew was that I was going to be the first to kick his butt if he was playing with my best friend’s feelings and upsetting her. Despite how much I’d grown to love him over the years, the fact that he had Megan so concerned displeased me tremendously.

She fell silent for a moment. “You’ve been acting strange lately too. You’re so secretive. What’s going on? Don’t you trust me anymore?” I could detect pain in her voice and my heart constricted.

“Of course I trust you. There’s just nothing to tell...”

“Right. Kris, are you seeing someone?”

“Please don’t start with that again. If I were, you’d be the first to meet him.” I bit my lip, hating myself for lying to her.

“I hope so,” she replied, but her voice betrayed her doubt.

“I’ll see you soon, okay? Love you, Meg.”

“All right. Take care, crazy.” She sent a kiss over the phone before she hung up.

I sighed, not happy with all the subterfuge, but in spite of how much I loved and trusted her, I couldn’t bring myself to share my secret with her. Alec was too important.

Mom rushed out of the house the moment I parked the car and she was by my side in an instant. “Kristen! You’re home!” She beamed, checking me out from head to toe as if to make sure there was nothing wrong with me.

“Hi...” I gave her a small smile as she hugged me. “How was it in New York?”

“Fabulous! It would’ve been better if you’d joined me, though.”

“Maybe next time.” I winked. “Hi, Ryan,” I greeted him when he came out to get my luggage. “Is Alec back?” I asked innocently.

“Hello, dear. Um...I talked to him on the phone. He’ll be back to work tomorrow morning.”

“Come inside and tell me all about your trip,” Mom said, smiling brightly.

After having dinner with Mom and Paola, inventing all kinds of stories about my supposed trip with Megan, I finally escaped to my room with Fred, happy with his enthusiasm. “Missed you too, little man.” I smiled and he followed me inside the bathroom, watching me prepare myself a bubble bath. “Good gracious!” I gaped in shock once I took my clothes off and saw the love bites all over my neck and breasts from our savage sex this morning. Apprehensive, I grabbed my phone and called Alec as I gently slid into the warm, bubbly water.

“Hey. Missing me already?” he answered with a naughty chuckle.

“You crazy man,” I whispered. “What did you do to me this morning? I have bites everywhere. How could I not feel them?”

He groaned, obviously aroused at the thought. “You were so turned on...and I marked you. I couldn’t help myself.”

“God, what if someone sees them?”

“Well, keep your door locked and don’t wear a bikini. I’ll try and control myself better next time, but I doubt if I can. All I want to do is eat you up.”
