ArousingMemories (18 page)

“Being bi doesn’t make me incapable of monogamy. Before I
met you, I didn’t know whether I might commit to a woman or a man for the rest
of my life. You answered the question for me in an instant.”

She looked pleased with his answer, yet pressed some more.
“And the missions, Sev? Is it you, me, the kids and the missions, too?”

The old fear for her rose up and threatened to choke off his
reply. He ruthlessly shoved it back down. “Yes, the missions, too, for both of
us. And I’m going to sweat every moment you’re out there, but I won’t try to
hold you back, I promise. If the knock on the door ever does come, I’ll live
with it and honor the memory of your sacrifice the same way I know you would
honor mine.”

Closing her eyes, Haley said his name in a whisper. It was
all it took to break his control. He clasped his mouth to hers and begged
entrance. There was a moment’s hesitation that made his heart stop before she
sighed and opened for him. Their tongues met in what he wanted to be a slow and
easy dance, but it turned into a dirty one at the moment of contact. The heat
of Haley’s passion rose up to meet his and they clung to each other as their
mouths mated.

Sev’s fingers wound their way through Haley’s hair, and he
pressed her closer to him to get a better taste. Her hands clasped his ass and
tugged him more firmly to her body. His cock, already half hard since the
mission, stiffened at the contact and strained to be free. There was a fleeting
thought of breaking off the kiss and leading Haley back to his room. But he
didn’t have that much control. He had to have her now, fast and furiously.
Feeling around with his foot, he kicked the door shut. The loud bang shuddered
through his aroused body and Haley trembled within his arms in response.

He backed her up, pressing her against the table before
releasing her mouth. She whimpered in protest, then moaned in delight as his
mouth latched on to the delicate skin at the base of her throat. He sucked
hard, wanting to leave his mark on her. It was a primitive thought, but he was
a primitive man in many ways. This was his woman, and the last person he was
going to give his body to. He wanted to celebrate the moment in the only way he
knew how, by claiming what was going to be his, and only his, for the rest of
their lives.

Sev traced a line of kisses down to the cleft between her
sweet breasts. Yanking her shirt open, he gave himself one second to admire the
way the soft mounds spilled past the bra cups. Under the stark unisex shirt
lived black, frilly lace and pretty as it was, it was in his way. He unclasped
the front of the garment and let Haley’s breasts fall into his hands. Dark
nipples jutted out to meet his thumbs. He flicked them into harder points
before taking each one in turn into his mouth to suck and lave.

“Sev,” she whispered his name, her voice thick with passion.
Her fingers left his butt to clasp his head and hold his mouth tight to her.

He slid his head down to lap up her taut stomach and lower.
His tongue brushed the top of her pants and that wouldn’t do. He worked the
button free and pulled the zipper down to slip the whole thing off. On his
knees now, he stared at the plump mons in front of him. The scent of her
arousal made his nostrils flare. He wanted to taste. He had to taste.

Haley went blind at the first flick of Sev’s tongue over her
clit. Her head fell back as she focused on the exquisite velvet massage.
Already her body burned for him, a combination of his declaration of love and
the way his hot flesh joined hers. He claimed her, branded her with every
touch. She knew it and she wanted it. She was going to brand him, too, by
taking him inside her so completely that he would never really leave her. But
first, she reveled in the exquisite torture of his tongue. The first climax was
building within her. She needed more.

Pumping her hips toward him, and pressing his head more
firmly, she demanded, “More.”

Sev didn’t disappoint. His licks turned to sucks and nips.
She jerked as the pleasure spiked. Her breaths came in hard pants. The wave
inside her crested and tumbled forward. The blood rushed through her body. Her
nipples tingled and her pussy spasmed. She bucked against Sev’s mouth so hard
she would have fallen if he hadn’t held her up. She was barely aware that as
she calmed, he moved to lift her onto the table.

“Sev!” she managed to cry out in surprise and delight.

“Trust me, babe,” he asked with a wicked grin. “This is a
little fantasy of mine.” He nudged her onto her back, her butt near the end of
the table, and pulled off her shoes and pants. She lay naked from the waist
down, her shirt and bra still hanging open. She was exposed, in more ways than
one given where they were, but she was also aroused—again, still.

Never one to be passive, she sat back up and reached for
him. “You’re way overdressed, Mr. Blake,” she admonished. Before he could
reply, she grabbed the front of his shirt with both hands and yanked. Buttons
went flying as she pulled the top open, exposing taut muscles. “Mmm,” she
purred, running her hands down his pecs and over the hard little points of his
nipples. His breath hitched at the touch, making her smile. He grunted when she
bent over to nip one of the nubs with her teeth.

She loved touching him, but his chest was hardly enough. She
wanted more, she wanted cock. Sliding her hands down to the waistband of his
pants, she made quick work of the clasp and yanked the clothing down enough to
free his erection. It glistened at her, ready, and eager. She licked her lips
as she clasped it in her fist and pumped it slowly. Her body tingled with heady
arousal once more.

Sev moaned and stopped her hand. “Not so fast, sugar. This
is my fantasy, don’t forget.” She frowned her displeasure, but it didn’t stop
him from pressing her back again onto the table.

Haley allowed him the control, although she raised herself
onto her elbows and watched Sev position himself between her splayed legs. He
stood staring at the spot where his lips had recently been, and he reached
forward to caress the sensitive flesh of her inner thighs.

“You’re beautiful.” Sev’s voice aroused her as much as his
fingers that skimmed their way down to the swollen folds of her labia. When
they reached their destination, Sev’s thumbs slipped inside to rub her clit
back to life.

“Gawd!” she moaned, head back, eyes closed. Her body was
already crying out for release. Her need for this man was never-ending.
“Please, Sev,” she begged.

“Please what?” he teased.

“Please more,” was her breathless reply. He filled her, but
not with his wonderful cock. A couple of fingers slid into her wet pussy while
his thumb circled her clit. The climax hit her just as she was about to demand
a proper fucking. Her fingers clawed uselessly against the table’s flat
surface. Her heels dug into it. She moaned and writhed. As her orgasm died
down, her body jolted when Sev’s fingers pulled away from her clenching pussy.
They were replaced with something bigger, harder, smoother and sweeter.

Haley opened her heavy lids and her gaze was met by Sev’s
intense eyes. He held them locked on hers as he pressed his cock into her
still-aching core. When he was fully seated, he stopped. “I love you,” he
declared in such a simple way she would never doubt it.

“I love you, too,” she replied, knowing that merely
welcoming him into her body was not enough. Some things needed to be said.

“Glad to hear it, sweetheart, because standing here like
this is killing me. I want you now, Haley.”

“Silly man, you’ve already got me.” To be sure he knew she
wanted him, she raised her legs to allow him to sink deeper into her core.

Sev closed his eyes and sighed. “Baby.” Gripping both her
thighs tighter, Sev pulled his cock out so the tip rested just inside her pussy
and thrust back inside.

“Yes,” she cried out to encourage him. She wanted it fast
and hard and told him so. He didn’t disappoint. He set a dizzying rhythm, the
sound of flesh slapping against flesh echoing throughout the room. She
tightened the walls of her pussy as hard as she could around his slick cock.
She wrapped her hands over his, digging her fingers into him and forcing her
legs as close to her chest as she could manage. His cock slammed farther into
her. Her climax came, robbing her of breath and reason. A strangled “Sev” was
all she could manage before her body went lax.

“Mine!” was Sev’s hoarse reply as his thrusting sped up and
finally ended with a push so hard Haley would have slid across the table if he
hadn’t been holding her. With a groan, he dropped his head onto her stomach.

They stayed that way for long minutes. Sated and happy,
Haley found the strength to play idly with Sev’s hair. His harsh breaths tickled
her skin until slowly he calmed. “How long have you had this fantasy?” she
asked in a teasing tone.

Sev chuckled and lifted his head to stare at her. She could
see the love in his eyes. “I had all kinds of fantasies the moment I saw you.”

“The very first moment?” she teased some more.

But the look on Sev’s face wasn’t a playful one. Sitting her
up, he clasped her face between his hands. “Some part of me knew the very
second I laid eyes on you, Haley Walker, that you were the one and only for me.
I was an idiot to ever let you go. It won’t happen again.”

“Oh, Sev, I’m not going anywhere. I promise.” She pressed
forward to kiss him, and as she lost herself in the pleasure of her man, she
knew that what they had said to each other this day neither of them would ever
forget.

Epilogue

One Year Later

Haley reached for her ringing phone while bracing herself
against the headboard of the hotel room bed. It wasn’t easy to do. Sev was
taking her from behind and he was taking her for the ride of her life.

“H-hello,” she sputtered out, trying to bite back the groans
of passion.

“Is this Mrs. Blake?” came the charming, laughing voice from
the other end of the line.

Haley tried to laugh back, but it came out more of a
strangled cry. She was no longer worried, however, about how she sounded to her
caller now that she knew who it was. “That’s Mrs. Walker–Blake to you,” she
replied.

A strong, blunt finger tickled her clit, sending sparks of
pleasure shooting throughout her body. She tipped her head back and smiled. It
was so good, always so very good to have her man, her husband now, filling her
with his hard cock, bringing her body such mindless pleasure. She focused her
attention on her pussy being stretched, of Sev’s smooth shaft pumping in and
out. Spreading her legs more, she took him as deep as she could. Her aching
breasts bounced with the rhythm of Sev’s fucking. They longed to be touched.
Her nipples tingled with need. But Sev’s hands were otherwise occupied, one
clasped tight on her hip and the other over her mons. She would have touched
herself, but her hands were busy, too. She was trying to keep from banging into
the headboard, and she was trying to concentrate on her caller’s words. Not
easy, either task.

“I’m sorry,” she breathed into the phone. “What did you say,
Noah?”

He laughed again. “I said I called to congratulate you on
your marriage. I’m sorry I had to miss it. So far my first mission since the
explosion is a bit of a yawn.”

The peak was coming. Haley felt it building. She could
barely talk. “Be careful,” she warned, ever the team leader. “We’re certain the
Sons are laundering money through that casino. And remember even though we
didn’t find a mole during your last mission, we haven’t ruled out the
possibility that there is one.”

“I know. Stop worrying about me and concentrate on making
your man go blind from pleasure.”

She pushed her ass back into her husband to signal him to
pick up the pace. “I’ll be sure to pass your good wishes on to Mr.
Walker–Blake.”

“Oh God,” Noah barked out one more laugh. “Mr. Walker–Blake.
He must really love you.”

Haley closed her eyes in ecstasy. “He does.”

“At least now there shouldn’t be any confusion over which is
his first name and which is his last. Give him a big kiss for me.”

The line went dead and tossing the phone down, Haley grabbed
the headboard with both hands and held on for dear life. Sev pumped into her at
a feverish pace. His fingers worked her clit in furious circles. The wave built
higher and higher and crashed over her with mind-numbing force. She cried out and
clenched down hard on the cock still pistoning into her until her husband’s
cries joined her own. They kept moving, milking every last bit of their orgasms
until they collapsed together in a heap on the bed.

Sev wrapped his arms around Haley and pulled her tight to
his slick, hot body. “My wife,” he said simply.

“That was Noah calling,” she said with yawn. It had been a
long day and a good one. The best of her life. A little rest and she’d be ready
for another round with her husband. God, she was never going to tire of
thinking that, saying that. How could she have ever thought she’d live without
this man?

Sev licked the outside of her ear. “So I gathered. The guy’s
timing is impeccable. Did the sound of his voice add to your pleasure?”

The question caught her off guard for a moment. She turned
in his arms to face him. “No, it didn’t. All I could really think about was how
wonderful it is to have you inside me. You’re all I want, Sev, and all I need.”

He smiled that knowing smile of his. It was endearing now
that they were together again. “Same goes, sugar. Same goes. In fact, I’m
starting to need you all over again.”

Haley smiled wickedly as she eyed his cock. “Why, Sev!” It
was all she managed to say before he tugged her willing body onto his.

This time, the arousing memories were all theirs.
