Leaving my breasts he continued to glide his hands down my stomach, swirling around my navel gently. I was ablaze with desire for him as his hands travelled further over the curves of my hips, gripping them before letting go and caressing my thighs. More oil poured onto my flesh, leaving my skin drenched in a slick delicious coating. His hands and fingers expertly teased over every inch of my body, my toes, the soles of my feet, my calves, behind my knees and my thighs; no single area went unnoticed. His attentive and tender rubbing drove me wild with lust. As his soft lips grazed the inside of my thigh I whimpered. I could feel him smiling against my skin as he licked and caressed the inside of my silky and sensitive thighs while his hot mouth, travelled further and further up. I thrust my hips upwards, begging him to give me what I needed, what I craved. Lifting his head, he shook it at me. “Tut tut tut. I think now would be a very good time to introduce some of these toys.” I’d never tried anything like this before and my nerves were beginning to grip me. I bit my lip, trying not to let my apprehension show as Jared crawled across the enormous bed to the pillow. He rifled through the pile before settling on one of the long pieces of red satin ribbon. Turning his gaze to me, he smiled. “I think we’ll start off gently. Come here to me. Lie down with your head on the pillow and put your hands over your head, interlocking your fingers.” Threading the soft, silky material between his fingers he gave me a mischievous smile. I crawled across the bed to him and did exactly as he asked. Taking my hands he pressed them against a bar on the headboard and twisting the satin around both my wrists, knotted it firmly into place. I wriggled my fingers but it was not going to budge. Tight enough to hold me but not to bite into my wrists, the smooth material felt soft and cool against my skin. Supporting himself on his palms, he lowered his mouth onto mine and kissed me sweetly. I moaned into his mouth and he responded with his own deep throaty groan. Sitting back onto his heels, he grinned at me as my eyes roamed all over his sizzling hot body, his perfectly formed pecks and his smooth caramel skin which was glistening from the oil we had rubbed all over each other. My gaze traveled south to his deep and defined Apollo’s belt. The urge to run my tongue over the grooves made me very aware that I was tied to the bed. I was completely at his mercy…and I liked it. “ Enjoying the view my lady? I hope so, because it’s the last thing you’re going to see for a while. “ Taking a long piece of black silk from the pile, he laid beside me propped on one elbow. Dangling the fabric over my breast, he let it gently brush against my skin before dragging it slowly over my nipple, down my stomach and over my sex. I exhaled slowly, trying to calm my racing pulse as the tickling sensations sent shivers up my body and goose bumps appeared on my pale, soft skin. Seeing my obvious pleasure, he continued to trail the fabric over me while I bowed and writhed, pulling tightly on my restraint. Bringing the material up to my neck, he let it slide gently over my cheeks and across my eyelids before gripping it with his hands. “I’m going to blindfold you Layla, remember you can use that word at any time and I will stop. Understand?” Words escaped me. I was so aroused I’d have agreed to join the mob if he’d asked me to. I would have given him anything just to feel him inside me, giving me my release. But at the moment, I couldn’t even form a coherent sentence. As a small whimper left my lips, I nodded. “Good girl.” Darkness consumed me as the soft, silky material covered my eyes, leaving me blind. I could smell the sweet fragrance of the oil and the musky tones of his cologne. His warm breath on my face revealed his position and I bit my lip so hard I thought I might puncture it as I waited impatiently for his next move. “Oh baby, you have no idea how good you look right now. I could eat you up, in fact, I think I might.” My breath hitched as his mouth swiftly moved south to my sex. His palms pressed firmly on my knees, he pushed my legs apart forcefully as he placed a soft kiss on my pubic bone and ran his hands up and over my thighs, massaging and groping as he moved them to my behind. Lifting me up slightly from the bed, he positioned his hands on my ass and held me tightly. My knees became elevated on what I could only assume were his shoulders as his hair tickled the inside of my thigh while his mouth covered me, sliding his tongue up and down my moist slit. “You taste divine.” He was teasing me, tempting me with his expert tongue. Tenderly, he pushed it through the fleshy lips. As I gripped the restraint on my wrists tightly, his tongue found my swollen clit. Flicking and rolling his way over it at varying speeds, he drove me to the edge quickly before slowing his pace, leaving me bereft and frustrated. I growled at the insensitive way he was torturing me and I heard him give a throaty chuckle. “Oh baby, you are so wet, so hot, so warm and totally delicious, I’m not ready to let you go just yet.” “ Please Jared. I need it. I’m so close it’s practically indecent, please?” His tongue resumed its frenzied attack on my clit and I moved my hips, matching his rhythm but he continued to deny me my orgasm. In a last attempt to get what I needed I thrust my hips against his mouth, urging him to go deep inside me. It worked, his tongue darted inside and frantically began rolling, thrusting and licking my g-spot. The orgasmic sensations grew stronger and unbelievably intense. My breathing became harsher and more ragged till all at once a euphoric pleasure surged through my body like an electric current. My muscles stiffened as the ripples of ecstasy coursed through me, making me cry out in pure satisfied bliss. Deprived of the privileges of touch and sight I had submitted my body to his will and the reward was intense beyond anything I’d ever felt. His lips closed around mine and he kissed me fervently. I could feel my slick wetness on his chin and taste my salty liquid on his tongue. Lying on top of me, he wrapped his arms around me tightly, holding me in a warm embrace. I pulled hard on the restraints, wanting so badly to run my hands over his body. I wanted to look into his deep blue eyes and lose myself in them as he loved and caressed every inch of me. Almost as though he read my mind Jared removed the blindfold and untied my wrists. Casting them aside he smiled down at me with an expression of pure content. He ran his thumb over my cheek again and sighed. “I can’t believe I have to leave you in six hours. I wish you could come with me. Promise me you’ll be ok while I’m gone. The thought of anything happening to you when I can’t be here is crippling me Layla. I’m tempted to tie you up again just to make sure you don’t go anywhere and put yourself in danger.” I smiled and kissed the tip of his nose, knowing perfectly well that he had probably considered doing just that. “I’ll be fine. I swear, I’ll be right here waiting for you when you get back. Try not to worry too much, please, you’ll make yourself frantic.” He kissed me deeply and with my hands now free, I stretched them around his back, pulling him into me. His erection pressed hard into my stomach and I found it not only encouraging but full of further sensual promise. He wasn’t quite done with me yet. Pressing his lips against mine he murmured. “I’m going to make love to you Layla, slowly, softly and completely lose myself in you.” Reaching above my head he grabbed a foil packet from the night stand and tore it open, never ending his passionate kiss as he did so. Sitting on his heels he slid the condom over his hard cock and gazing into my eyes, gently sank into me. My mouth opened, forming an O as he filled me. I could feel every inch as he gradually moved deeper inside. His hips rocked slowly on mine as his hands explored my body, teasing my skin as he grazed it with his fingertips. His kisses were profound and meaningful. It was as though our bodies were expressing our feelings for one another in a way words just couldn’t describe. Nuzzling my neck I could feel his heavy, warm breath on my throat. I wound my legs around him, my feet pushing into his buttocks urging him to move faster and deeper but he continued at his steady pace, prolonging our lovemaking. The aching in my stomach intensified as I felt my orgasm building and I began to rock my hips in time with his. He moaned deeply into my neck as I gripped my hands firmly on his back. My head fell back, my fingernails dragging downwards to the bottom of his spine as I held him tightly; ecstasy pouring through my veins, filling me once more. The room disappeared, my senses deserting me as a whooshing echoed in my ears. The pulsing pleasure of my orgasm along with the loving embrace that Jared held me in was an emotional overload and tears began to slide down my face. One must have dripped onto his own soft skin because he immediately stopped moving and lifted up, staring down at me. His eyes scanned my expression and a look of concern was etched on his face. “Baby, what is it? Did I hurt you?” A half sob, half laugh left my lips as I wiped the tears from my eyes. Shaking my head I cupped his face in my hands and smiled up at him. “You didn’t hurt me. I just got caught in the moment, I’m fine. I love you Jared Garrett. I hope you know that.” He planted a chaste kiss on my lips and grinned. “I love you too Layla Jennings, more than you could possibly fathom.” Moving back and forth gently he placed tiny soft kisses over my face, caressing, loving and adoring every freckle, line and curve of my body as he rocked his hips into mine. “You. Are. So. Beautiful. God, Layla. You’re a magnificent work of art.” Slowly I felt another orgasm building and I let out a soft whimper. Again? Really ? I’d heard of multiple orgasms but having never experienced so many in such little time, I’d assumed it was merely a myth. My muscles were clenching and tightening around him inside me. With a clenched jaw he panted in my ear. “Oh Layla, come with me baby. I’m close, try to hold on.” His words were an intoxicating aphrodisiac and I struggled to control my body as I writhed and wriggled beneath him. Thrusting into me deeply he tensed, gripping the sheets on either side of my head as he found his release. As if on cue, my own orgasm swept over me in an explosion of hot, mind blowing pleasure. Tears began to stream down my face once more but this time he never questioned them, he merely wiped them away and kissed me, holding me tightly to him. We made love over and over for what seemed like hours before collapsing into a dazed sleepy state. Pulling me to him Jared spooned me as I lay enveloped in his arms. His face nuzzled my hair as he lay behind me, silently drifting in and out of slumber. I laid there for a while, staring into the dark. My mind trying to make sense of everything that had happened since I’d moved here. Thoughts of Ollie invaded my serene day dreams. The situation between us was gradually reaching boiling point and our friendship was in jeopardy, the longer things went on. I knew how he felt about me and there I was flaunting, my happy relationship in front of him. He’d made it very clear what he thought of Jared and that was something I couldn’t easily let go of. He could be mad at me for leading him on, he could be mad at himself for not making a move, but being mad at Jared for loving me, that was not going to fly. This was going to get ugly if I didn’t do something soon. With my party only a few days away I had a feeling that soon may have been a little closer than I’d have liked. The boys were just going to have to learn to play nicely. They both played a major part in my life and I wasn’t willing to give either of them up. I dozed dreamily in and out of consciousness and became suddenly aware that I was moving. Scooped in Jared’s arms, he was carrying me down the hall to the familiar guest room once again. Something inside me tightened and pulled with an aching hurt. Why wouldn’t he let me sleep in his bed? Was I not worth it to him? Was that a place he had had so many women before that now it was tainted? Thoughts buzzed through my mind and each more uncomfortable than the last. Placing me gently on the bed he shifted in behind me and squeezed me tightly. I tensed in his arms as my unanswered questions turned over and over in my mind. His mouth to my ear I could feel his long, even breaths. “I don’t know why you insist on torturing yourself all the time. I told you, I never share that bed. But I am sleeping with you whenever you’re here. Shouldn’t that tell you something at least? I love you Layla. Now stop thinking everything to death and go to sleep. You have class in the morning.” How did he know? He was right though. The past two nights I’d spent with Jared I had been curled up in his arms till morning, so why was I still so uneasy about where it was that we did so? I held my hands over his which were clasped together around my stomach and sighed. “Goodnight baby.”
Chapter 26
Ruby Tuesday
Jared left for the airport at six in the morning as planned but not before making me breakfast and ensuring his assistant Jerry would have a car to pick me up and take me back to the dorm. I hadn’t planned on spending the night when I had been carried out of the coffee shop the previous evening, so I didn’t have any clean clothes or shoes. That would mean a frantic shower and change before class. I stood there in a pair of his oversized sneakers like a child wearing her father’s shoes. Before climbing into the black stretch limo that had arrived to take him to LAX, he gave me a long lingering kiss and told me that he loved me. He would be traveling on the company plane so there was no need for an early arrival to check in. A second after his car left the driveway, an extremely expensive looking Mercedes pulled up in front of me. A young blonde haired man got out and ran around to the back passenger side door. He was tall and it was obvious that he took care of himself. His broad shoulders and thick muscular chest made his uniform look as though it were trying desperately to contain his enormous arms. He opened it and gestured for me to get in.
