His Dark Promise (Siren Publishing Classic) (3 page)

“So you just assumed I would accompany you up to your room did you, Mr. Kane? Is that why you booked the hotel suite? That just goes to show you how little you know about me then, doesn’t it?” she replied with a hint of flirtatiousness lingering in her voice.

“Oh, I know you all right, Miss Shepherd,” He smiled darkly at her when she shivered against him. “I know that even now you’re thinking about how quickly we can make our escape out of this blessed event. I can tell you that in less than sixty seconds you will be following me out to the elevators in the lobby.” He leaned in then and whispered the rest into her ear for only her to hear. “If you think you have a choice in this, think again. I told you earlier on, Holly, that you will be mine tonight. You had a chance to leave then to make your escape, but instead you stuck around here because you needed to feel me deep inside you. You want to know what it’s like to be taken by a real man. You want to be taken to the darkest depths of your own passion, something you have always longed for but probably never been able to achieve. I can take you there, Holly. I can give you all that and more,” he promised her.

Her breathing hitched in her throat when he linked his fingers with hers. He then pulled her through the crowd and out into the lobby area of the hotel. Sensing her wariness at the power he
held
over her, Travis rubbed his thumb over the pulse point on her wrist to help calm her nerves. He knew she wanted this, whatever this was. All they had to do was take a chance on one another and just see where the night took them. After all he did promise her a chance to lose herself to the dark passions he could arouse within her. The same ones he knew she kept hidden from every other male before him.

Travis watched Holly swallow nervously when they stepped up to the glass elevator. He had completely forgotten that one of her greatest fears was falling, and having a fully see-through elevator probably wasn’t helping to calm those same fears of hers down. After sensing her hesitation in getting in to the elevator with him, Travis tugged on her hand and pulled her in close to his taut frame. With his arms wrapped low around her waist, he held her tightly against him. His hands rested on the cheeks of her ass. He smirked when he felt her tremble against him. The heat from his touch was making her forget all about that fear of hers and forced her
to
concentrate only on his touch. “Close your eyes, Holly, and just feel me. We will be at the room in no time at all.” He allowed his voiced drift over her as she closed her eyes and rested her head onto his chest. His cock went instantly hard from inhaling the soft scents of rose and vanilla from the perfume lingering on her skin and in her hair. . .

With his large hands roaming freely over the cheeks of her ass, the elevator began to steadily rise up to their floor. His heated caress caused her nipples to poke out through the bodice of her sexy little black dress she wore and were inadvertently stabbing him in the chest. One of his hands slid lower to the hem of her dress and slowly gathered the material up until it revealed her upper thigh. Her skin felt warm beneath his touch.

Knowing Holly had completely forgotten about her fears as she lost herself to his teasing touch, it also meant there was a good chance that she also overlooked the fact that anyone standing in the hotel lobby could see what he was doing to her. Travis glanced over her shoulder at the few people who had gathered in the hotel lobby to witness their intimate display. He smirked down at their admirers as he continued to slide his hand further up the back of her leg. His fingertips swept over the lacy garter belt she had on her upper thigh.

While his fingers played with the lacy trim of her garter belt, he groaned into her ear. “Baby girl, do you know what these sexy little things do to me?”

“No.”

“Well, you’re about two seconds away from finding out.” Travis then proceeded to grind his hips into hers, showing her the evidence of his arousal. He had to force back the urge to groan again when Holly tried to squirm against his hardened length. The hand on her ass tightened, halting her movements altogether. Just when she looked set to ask him something, the elevator doors pinged, announcing that they had reached the fourth floor. Slowly Holly uncurled herself from his grasp and stepped out into the hallway. A small smile curved at her lips when she noticed the tent he was sporting in the front of his suit pants.

“You think this is funny, sweet darlin’, that I’m this hard for you already.” He cupped his hard cock in his hand. “You won’t think this is so funny when I shove my big, hard cock deep inside of you, I can assure you of that.”

Holly blushed immediately at hearing the bluntness of his words. He watched in fascination as the pulse on the side of her neck accelerated at the sight of him cupping himself with his hand. Yes, it was a wicked act for him to do in front of her and to say such crude things to her also, but he couldn’t resist taunting her the way she had taunted him by eyeing off his cock. She probably had no idea how much he wanted to feel that sweet, wet heat of hers surrounding him when he buried himself deep inside that most feminine part of her body. She had been fighting his charm and his advances for so long now Travis couldn’t wait any longer to conquer the untamed need he could see rising within her and sensed it rising within himself, too.

Holly quickly grasped his hand when he moved toward her and asked him for the quickest way to get to his room.

“Straight ahead, fifth door on your left should be room 422.” She then basically started dragging him in that direction as soon as the answer left his lips. Travis couldn’t help but chuckle at her eagerness to get to the room. He allowed her
to d
rag him down the hallway for a bit then suddenly pulled up short on her hand, stopping her abruptly. Before Holly could question him, Travis had her back against the wall as his lips came crashing down on hers in a hard and fast kiss. He made sure that his lips overwhelmed her just like she did to him every fucking time he got close to her. His lips moved effortlessly over hers, drowning her in his passion he held for her. He wanted to suck her under a wave of lust so powerful she would find it hard to control the devastating need rising within her. Travis wanted and needed Holly to feel the same intense desire that coursed throughout him. He was
so
desperate to take her there that he would do whatever it took to get her to feel exactly what he felt right now. His need for her was so strong the strength of it astounded him sometimes.

As he continued to control the intensity of their kiss, his tongue swept over the seam of her lips, seeking entry into her mouth. Holly granted him entry and parted her lips for him. Their tongues duelled as their lips sipped and nipped at each other’s. His grip tightened on her hips at the feel of her body slipping from his grasp. The heated passion he was forcing her to accept from him must have made her knees weak. He wanted to clap himself on the back for having that kind of power to bring his woman to her knees. All he had done was simply caress her soft, feminine lips with his more masculine ones.

Reaching up, he tangled his fingers into her long auburn locks, drawing her in closer to him. Holly sighed against his lips as he continued to ravish them. He then wrapped himself around her like a cosy warm blanket on a cool winter’s day, caging her in against the wall. Only he wasn’t a soft, fluffy blanket, he was more like a taut, uncompromising one that came with its very own rock-hard bulge that pushed into the softness of her lower belly.

His lips moved against hers in a pace that was guaranteed to make her head spin and definitely left her grasping for air when he gradually raised his head from hers. After tucking her under his arm, Travis casually strolled down the long hallway to room 422, all the while knowing his kisses left her panting and all aroused after taking her lips so thoroughly with his. “God help her when he finally takes her,” he thought he heard Holly whisper quietly to herself.

As soon as the door to the suite was closed, they both had their hands on each other's bodies, trying to dispose of one another’s clothing as quickly as they could. Travis shrugged out of his suit jacket and let it fall to the floor then his lips came down hard onto hers again. Holly was almost panting and they had barely even started getting naked. Reaching up, she began loosening the tie he wore around his neck, while his hands worked the zipper down on the back of her black satin cocktail dress.

The whole undressing thing was set at a frantic pace but it needed to be an unhurried one. They both needed to draw out the torture of seeing each other’s nakedness for the first time. Stepping back from him, Holly told him to take a seat on the edge of the bed and watch her. He didn’t appear to be too happy that they had stopped getting naked. Undeterred by his reluctance, Holly wasn’t about to be swayed by him. She wanted this night to last for as long as it could. She wanted him to take his time in exploring her body and she wanted to take her time doing the same to him. Yeah, they were both probably a little riled up for the little strip tease she was planning on doing. That wasn’t about to stop her. She was determined to put on a show for him.

Waiting for him to get comfortable on the bed, Holly took her time in looking over the hotel suite he had booked for the night. It was a pretty top-notch room and was decorated in creamy linens with matching furnishings and painted walls. There were two large black-and-white canvas prints of a couple in a naked embrace, which was both erotic and beautiful, hanging on the wall above the large king-size bed that occupied one side of the suite. A small sofa and chaise faced the bay windows that overlooked the city, on the other side of the room. Holly bet the view was stunning both during the day and at night when the curtains were drawn back. There was also a large marble bathroom to the left of the bedroom area and a tiny kitchenette off to the side of the sitting area. All in all, the suite was striking and showed her that Travis Kane had taste. Albeit expensive taste, but taste nonetheless.

Hearing the rumble of his voice telling her he was ready for her, Holly turned her attention back to him. She could plainly see how ready he was for her. He had his white shirt unbuttoned down the front, baring his chiselled chest and torso to her, while his black tie hung loose around his neck. The bulge in his black suit pants was even more evident as he leaned back on his elbows and stared up at her, waiting for her to do her thing. He really was living up to that persona of his with the way he looked right now. Sex god, yep that was him to a T. Seeing a stereo system near the chaise, Holly kicked off her three-inch black peep-toe heels and padded over to it and turned it on. The soft hum of music filled the air and gave her something to striptease to. Swaying her hips from side to side, she made her way over to the bed to stand just in front of Travis. Gazing down into his eyes, she began running her hands gradually over her breasts, tweaking her nipples to hard points with her thumb and forefinger. His growl of approval echoed around the room and made her pussy drip in want and need for him.

Excited by his respond, Holly lowered her hands down the flatness of her soft belly then skimmed her hands over her hips before lowering them further to her thighs. His eyes tracked her hands the whole time. She gripped the hem of her dress with her fingertips and inched it up slowly to tempt him. She could see the heat rising in his eyes as they began to smoulder with his lust.

When the dress was high up around her thighs, he told her to slowly turn around for him. She did, flashing him a hint of the red lacy garter belt and matching satin G-string she had on underneath the dress. He groaned long and loud from the sight of it. Just hearing his rumbled groan had her biting down on her lower lip. She closed her eyes to capture the sound of it.

Once she had done a full turn for him and was standing facing him again, she reached up with one hand and, little by little, lowered the dress from her shoulder and down one arm, exposing the little red lacy bra she had on. She did the same to the other side until the dress hung at her hips. She did a little shimmy for him and let the dress fall to the floor. Kicking the dress away from her, Holly then stood before him in just her red lacy undergarments and a sexy smile adorning her face.

“You’re so fucking gorgeous, Holly,” he told her. Her smile grew even bigger at hearing his compliment. She moved toward him then, and draped her legs over his hard, muscular thighs so she could straddle him. Travis reached up and brushed her hair back over her shoulder than ran the tips of his fingers over the lace edge of her bra, while his other hand rested against the skin of her lower back, just above the thin band of her G-string. The heat from his touch burned her flesh and made her pussy ache to be filled up by him.

Linking her arms around his neck, she pulled him down to her chest. She could see he wanted to taste her flesh and she was desperate for him to have a taste of her. His tongue ever so slowly swept over the upper swells of her breasts, causing her to draw in a ragged breath. Holly tried to rub her pussy against the hard bulge straining out the front of his zipped up pants. She needed to get some friction on her clit to help ease the fiery ache building inside of it. But his hands kept her from moving on his lap. His unyielding grip he had on her hips increased the more she tried to move against him. His growl of “no” vibrated over the flesh of her breast he was ravishing and stopped her from trying to shift forward on his lap.

In her own frustrated growl, she cursed his name under her breath. Her nipples were harder than stone and felt neglected of his touch. Holly arched her back and practically shoved her achy buds into his face so he would take the hint that she need his hot mouth on them. His warm, wet lips enclosed around the tight little buds and he suckled on them one after the other. The fire Travis was building within her was so fierce Holly was beginning to believe she might die from the force of it. If he didn’t fill her up soon with his cock like he taunted her with earlier, she would scream.
