Tied Up, Tied Down (24 page)

Between her hips. Knowing by the way her spine arched she enjoyed the contrasting tactile sensations of the bristly rope sliding against her soft skin. He didn’t rush. The weight and texture of the rope left light pink stripes from her neck to her knees.

Kade swirled the softly frayed end over her clit.

“That tickles.”

“I must not be doin’ it right then.” He flicked faster. “Better?”

“Uh-huh.” He kept up the movement until her thighs became rigid and she cried out,

“Oh God, oh, don’t stop.”

He pinched her left nipple as she started to come, and she bucked her hips up, begging for more than the feather light touch of the rope—his fingers, his mouth, his cock. He watched her self-consciousness disappear as she lost herself in her body’s response.

Finally she opened her eyes. “Wow. You
are
good with ropes.”

“You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, baby.” He tossed the thick rope to the floor and picked up the lighter, white cotton one.

“Kade. What—”

“Relax.” He crawled off the end of the bed and stood between her spread-eagled legs. He slithered the thinner, softer rope down the tops of her thighs, from the crease of her hip to her kneecap. Up and down. Back and forth. When he journeyed further south and touched her toes, she jerked hard. He murmured, “Are your feet ticklish?”

“Ah. Yes.”

Kade threaded the rope through each one of her toes. Then he gently pulled the rope as his mouth connected with the vulnerable skin on her foot just inside her ankle. He tongued and suckled, while swirling the rope through her outstretched toes.

Her leg shook and her chest rose and fell rapidly.

Good thing Sky was tied up, otherwise she’d be kicking him in the face. He said,

“Time for the other foot.”

“Stop. I-I can’t take it.”

Kade ignored her. This time after winding the rope through her toes, he nibbled the top of her foot as he tugged, lightly licking the tips of her cute little piggies. He watched as gooseflesh rippled up her calves. When his gaze reached above her knee, he noticed the inside of her thighs were wet and slick with her juices.

He abandoned the rope with a growl. He flattened himself between her legs, slapped his palms on the inside of her thighs and set his mouth on her. Feasting on her moist, soft folds. Inserting one finger into her pussy, then two, then three. Feeling her cunt muscles pulse around his fingers as they plunged deep. Losing himself in the taste of her against his lips and tongue, her essence flowing down the back of his throat. Her scent settling on his skin, filling his lungs. His head, his heart, and his soul rejoiced with her pleading cries and sexy moans as Sky repeated,
please Kade
over and over. Kade hummed as he sucked her clit and she came in a gush of sweet, sticky warmth.

When she quit thrashing and throbbing, she lifted her flushed face to look at him, still lying between her legs. Kade licked his lips and said, “Mmm. I love doin’ that to you. I love that you’re tied up and I can do anything I want. I love…”

You. Baby, I love you so damn much it’s killin’ me to keep it inside. I wanna tell you.

I wanna whisper it in your ear while I’m lovin’ you. I wanna shout it to the world.

“Kade? You okay?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“You never finished the sentence. You love, what?”

Kade stared at the two spots of color the last orgasm had left on her cheekbones. Was that hope shining in her eyes? Or fear? Rather than chance ruining the moment, he grinned cagily. “I love that you’re gonna return the favor right now, darlin’.”

He shimmied up her body, placing his knees on either side of her ribs. “I’ve got a hankerin’ to do a little sixty-nine action with you, but it’d be a mite difficult without usin’

your hands.” He ran his knuckles down the smooth skin of her face. “Ever had a tongue in your pussy while you were suckin’ on a cock?”

She shook her head.

“Ever had your tits fucked?”

Again, she shook her head.

“These are perfect. Watch.” Kade cupped her breasts in his hands and clasped them together tightly. “Arch up, baby, yeah, just like that.” He slid his dick in the valley of her cleavage and grunted. “That’s good.” While strumming her nipples, he rocked his hips, slowly sliding in, dragging the sensitive underside of his cock over the hard bone at the base of her throat, then pulling back and surrounding his rock-hard shaft with soft, warm tightness. It was sexy as hell seeing the dark purple head of his cock vanishing into the creamy white flesh and peeping out the other side.

His eyes met hers. “Do you like this?”

“It’s okay. I don’t think I’d like you coming on my face.”

“Oh, I’m not gonna come on you. I’m gonna come
in
you.” He shifted back. “I want your mouth on me now.”

Nodding, Skylar licked her lips.

“Tastin’ you has got me so turned on. With as close as I am to blowin’, this is gonna be a little rougher than last time.” He reached for the headboard with one hand and held his cock in the other as he angled his pelvis over her face. “Open up.”

She flicked her sassy tongue across the slit bubbling over with pre-come.

The tip of his cock passed over her teeth and her lips closed around the head.

Instantly, the wet heat made his whole body shake. “That’s it. Don’t arch your neck. Take me in. All of it.”

A devilish gleam entered her eyes and she hummed around his knob. It sent an electric charge straight to balls.

“Jesus, Sky, you tryin’ to make me shoot first thing?”

Her head bobbed, warmth enveloped his dick, followed by a cool rush of air as she released him. Time and time again. Her mouth moved up and down the length in a continuous slide of heat and wetness.

Kade’s thighs were clenched tight as he pumped his hips into her face. He loved to watch his cock tunneling in and out of her mouth. Loved to see the flush on her cheeks.

Loved the feminine look of power and surrender in her eyes.

When she began to suck hard, hollowing her cheeks, well, Kade went a little crazy.

He pushed a bit deeper, thrust faster at the visual of her lips stretched around his girth.

“Skylar.” Careening over the edge of insanity, he plunged in and gripped her head, keeping it still as his cock emptied down the back of her throat. He groaned at the sensation of those strong throat muscles working as she swallowed until he had nothing left.

He slipped his cock from her mouth, and rested his head on her belly, catching his breath.

Her voice was just above a whisper. “I wish I could touch you. Kade, untie me.

Please.”

“No.” Kade scattered kisses over her stomach, surprised his dick was raring to go again. “I’m gonna fuck you like this. Putting my hands, my mouth, my tongue and my cock anywhere I want to.”

Skylar was unnaturally quiet.

He glanced up at her. “What? No secrets between us, remember?”

“Fine. Where all do you plan on sticking that big cock of yours?”

He grinned. “You’ve liked where I’ve put it so far.” Kade curled his hands around her hips, and slid them to her spine and down to cup her butt cheeks. “You know how much I love this ass. Touchin’ it, squeezin’ it. Kissin’ it. Does it make you excited to think about me slidin’ my cock in your ass?”

No answer.

“There’s something wickedly dirty and raunchy about doin’ that. I’d be the first man to have that part of you, wouldn’t I?”

Skylar nodded.

Kade moved so they were face to face. “Then I want it. I’m gonna take it, Sky, and you’re gonna love every fuckin’ minute of givin’ it to me. Not tonight. But soon. Very soon.” His lips grazed her cheek. “For now, I need you again.” Bracing his hands by her head, he slipped inside her in a single smooth thrust.

“Oh. Yes.”

He fucked her hard and fast. Followed by slow and easy. Kissing her throat, her lips, tasting himself on her tongue. He built her higher and higher, holding back his darker needs to meet hers. When she came, the sweet aftershocks pulled him under, swamping him with such a mix of emotion he could scarcely keep in check.

While Kade’s body still pulsed with pleasure, he whispered, “Skylar. Marry me.”

She nipped his earlobe hard and said, “No.”

“Maybe I oughta keep you tied up until you say yes.”

“That wouldn’t be fair.”

“Why not?”

“Because I can’t think straight when I can’t feel my arms or my legs.”

“That’s because all your focus is on how great I make your pussy feel, which ain’t so bad, near as I can figure.”

“Cocky man.”

“You know it.” He lifted up and was surprised to see worry in her eyes. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

“No.”

“Then what?”

“You make me feel things I never thought I would, Kade. Things that are way scarier than being tied up and tied down and subjected to your every sexual whim.”

Kade knew that confession wasn’t easy for her to make. Rather than say the wrong thing, he said nothing as he gently untied her arms. He winced at seeing the red rope marks and feathered kisses over her wrists. He did the same thing for her ankles.

As he kissed her and she melted into him, he realized he’d been going about asking Sky to marry him in the wrong way. Of course she’d keep saying no, when she was naked and sweaty and on the downhill slide from an orgasm. That’s not exactly the special moment they could share with their grandkids anyway. So Kade would wait and ask her again after he’d created a romantic scene, something she’d never forget.

When Sky parked in the driveway after work the next day, she was surprised to see Kade sprawled on the wicker chaise on the front porch, with his working hat pulled over his eyes. He didn’t budge when she started up the steps with Eliza in her arms. “Kade?

You okay?”

He groaned. “Tired. You wore me out last night, sweetheart.”

Her entire body flashed with pure heat in remembrance of their bedroom antics.

Kade tying her up and demanding her total submission. Him gorging on her until she whimpered and begged. Bringing her beyond the point of rational thought where nothing existed but his single-minded concentration on her sexual pleasure.

And what mind-blowing pleasure it’d been.

Even after he’d untied her and they’d seen to Eliza’s needs, he’d been so sweet and so…loving. Cocooning his big, warm frame around hers as they fell asleep. A few hours later he’d woken to have his wicked way with her again. As they lay spooned together, he’d brought her top leg back over his hip as he entered her from behind. Kade’s hand clasped hers, stretching their arms so they could grasp the headboard for stability as he steadily fucked her. His free hand roved, plucking her nipples, stroking her clit, while he licked and kissed the side of her neck. It still brought a delicious tingle when she recalled the masculine growls he’d uttered against her skin as he’d climaxed.

“Gaa!”

Kade removed his hat and his eyes flipped open. “Is that Eliza speak for get up?”

Her arms flailed uncontrollably.

He grinned. “Come give Daddy some sugar.”

Skylar passed Eliza over and Kade lifted her to blow a raspberry on her little round belly.

The baby squealed with delight. He murmured something to her that set her legs in motion.

“You are a really great father, Kade.”

Without taking his eyes from Eliza’s face, he said to Skylar, “Are you surprised?”

“No. Last year when we were dating you mentioned how jealous you were of all your cousins who were having babies.”

“I did?”

“Numerous times. I thought you were feeding me full of bull since I’d never met a man who admitted he cared about that kind of stuff.”

“Huh. I remember hintin’ around that I was ready to settle down and have a family of my own. But you never took the hint. Then or now.”

Her stomach flip-flopped.

Kade sat up. “Sorry. I’m a little punchy and too tired to rustle up anything to eat.

How about if I take my best girls out for supper?”

“Really?”

“Yep, my treat. Steak and a cold beer sounds mighty tasty.”

“Deal.”

“You mind drivin’? I’ve been in my truck enough today and I’m really beat.”

He hadn’t reminded her of the long haul he drove every day to make her feel bad, but she did nonetheless. “I worry about you making that drive.”

“You shouldn’t.”

“I do. Promise me you’ll be careful. Promise me if you’re too tired to drive by yourself you’ll call me to come and get you.”

“I promise.” Kade stood and curled his hand around the back of Sky’s head and kissed her. “I’m not complainin’. It’s just the road home to you seems to get longer every damn day.”

The road home to you
. Right then, her day, her world felt complete. “Come on, cowboy. If you play your cards right, I might even bring home a slice of chocolate cake so I can fulfill your frosting fantasy.”

Eliza slept on the way into Moorcroft, allowing them to share their respective days.

Unfortunately, Eliza’s nap meant she was wide-awake in the restaurant. Wide-awake and extremely fussy. They passed her back and forth, but nothing soothed their cranky daughter. Sky ate quickly while Kade bounced and cajoled Eliza. Then Skylar held the baby while Kade wolfed down his steak. The second Eliza let loose a shriek of distress, they exited the restaurant to the dirty looks of patrons who’d left their children at home so they could enjoy a quiet dinner out.

“Guess a candlelight dinner for three ain’t her cup of tea,” Kade said dryly.
