Eyes Of Danger (12 page)

He moved those hot lips down my neck to my shoulder to my breast. But now I found the feeling of pleasure in my body was being overshadowed by a pain in my stomach. I tried to draw my legs up and a stab of pain hit me again.

He raised his head looking at me.

“What is it?”

“The pain in my stomach.” I didn’t recognize my own voice.

He looked at me for a long moment. “I feel a heat in my groin that I haven’t felt with any other woman. Let me see if I can find a way to ease that pain.” He put both legs between mine, but didn’t pull his body off, but reached down with a hand, and with my legs spread by his body, he slowly eased his hand down to my pubic hair, then lower. Oh, God, that hot rough hand. He spread my lips, then I threw my head back against the bed as he first toyed with that tiny nub of womanhood that no one had addressed before. He inserted a finger into me. I felt a clinching of muscles that brought a spasm running through me. I had an orgasm, the real kind that every woman wants. As I relaxed, running the wonderful thought through my mind, he used his hand again and again. He played with that tiny nub causing me to push my hips upward. I couldn’t help it. I just felt the grip of muscles tighten. He held the nub and pushed his fingers. I was surprised to hear my moan wanting a release as the muscles tightened around his fingers. He stroked the nub, making me shudder. I found I hadn’t been breathing and I grabbed air before I fell back.

He finally lifted his hips. I felt him push his swollen male wholeness against me. “Michelle, look at me.” I heard the order through a haze, but I opened my eyes to see above me those dark black eyes and I just fell into them. I could not move, I could not resist, I felt the pain in my stomach coil down to meet the entry point where Tim’s hand had been replaced by his large shaft that he was holding at that wet entry to me. Then, still watching my face, he moved forward and pushed into me. At first, I felt that it would hurt, but of course it didn’t. There was no pain, and the pain went away in my stomach. There was only the heat from him and from me.

I saw a slow wicked satisfied smile move over his face. I knew he had realized he was right as he began to move.

“Don’t close your eyes.”

He continued to look at me. I couldn’t have closed my eyes if I had wanted. I was totally without any will of my own, just lost in the sensations pouring through my body. Somewhere in this aura of floating pleasure I saw the surprise in his face.

I saw when the heat passed from my body to his. He gasped, thrusting harder. Finally, he was the one who had to close his eyes. Now, I closed mine and in the darkness behind my eyelids, I saw the universe as I slipped over the edge of emotions I had never felt before. I knew that we both reached a peak together, but we held there for an eternity before we fell and fell and fell. We both crumbled together, entangled sweaty arms and crossed legs on the bed that had become real again.

I lay still with the heavy weight of his arm and shoulder across my chest. I really didn’t want to have to move—ever. Maybe I would die, then someone would find me. They would just tuck me away in the ground. I would be happy because I thought I just visited heaven. I shifted just a tiny bit to ease the pressure on my chest as I rolled my head sideways to look at Tim. He lay beside me, mostly on me with those dangerous dark eyes still closed.

“Tim, are you okay?” My voice was only a whisper.

I saw that crooked smile pull at his lips. He brought his hand over my breast, but he didn’t open his eyes. That was his only movement.

“All right, I guess that means you are still alive.” I reached over softly, pushing back a short wet curl behind his ear.

I saw his eyes slowly open. He didn’t move, but he was looking at me. “There was a time when I had to try out my manhood whenever I could, fuck whatever I could get into the back seat. Then I got smart and became choosey, but I have never, ever experienced what I just had with you. I don’t want to take anything away from it, but maybe some of it has to do with our extra senses. But, Jesus, Michelle, it was unbelievable.”

He pulled me over to kiss me gently and it felt so good.

“There can never be another. You have totally bound me in a way I can’t explain.”

I looked into the eyes that I now wanted to stare at every day for the rest of my life. “Could we do it again?” I asked in some strange little girl voice that I almost didn’t realize was mine.

I heard him laugh deep in his chest as he looked down at himself. I looked down also—it was the first time I had gotten to admire him in the buff, and wow, there was a lot to admire. Then, I blushed. I sounded like Connie. I never said or thought those kinds of things before.

But I was soon too busy to think about anything as Tim rolled onto his back. Using his strength in those arms, he pulled me up to straddle him. I placed my hands on his shoulders to help hold myself as he held onto my hips.

“Tim, I’m not this inventive, so maybe we could just…” But I didn’t want to say anything else as he lowered me down onto him. I felt the full length of him push up into me as my weight shoved me down onto him. I let my head lean back to feel the heat build again as he urged me up with his hands. Someone else must have taken over my body because I used my bent legs to rise up and then lower again.

I don’t know where the wanton woman came from or who had taken over my body, but some of it came from that strange heat that built in my lower stomach, then circled down to the entire muscles of my womanhood. I could feel it move around that amazing shaft that my body gripped within me.

The movement of the two of us became almost a dance. I lowered my head so that I leaned forward to find his lips. My hair fell around us both. I let his strong hands move my body. I knew the heat from me had moved to him again as I felt him push up with his legs and with his mouth on mine as he moaned. The slide over the top was a rollercoaster down the other side, but a slower gentle glide this time. I just let myself fall down on his chest, lying with him inside me, listening to his strong heart beating.

I couldn’t believe it, but we both seemed to fall asleep. I felt the tingle of one of my feet from lack of circulation so I slowly lifted my head and then my body.

Tim looked up at me as he raised his hand to touch my bruised cheek, gently “Did we hurt that?”

I smiled. “I really don’t know. I was feeling something else. I think I need a quick shower and a toothbrush.”

“I’m sorry. I have mine in the bathroom, but I don’t have a new one.”

I really had to give a small laugh, then. “I think what we just went though has traded all the proteins we have in our system, so I am going to use yours.” I got up and went into the bathroom, not even self-conscious. I took the quick shower. It only took a moment to find and use his toothbrush. I used his comb, then finally decided I could go back into the bedroom. Tim was sitting up. He rose, gave me a quick kiss and moved to take his turn in the bathroom. I heard the shower. I got dressed, taking my time hunting for items to wear.

I finally went downstairs and stopped in the kitchen door as Charley came in the back door. He had his hands full of bags. He looked at me with a smile as he sat his cache down, then quickly went back to hang up his coat.

“I got us some fresh vegetables for salad. Give us a better meal,” he was explaining as he unloaded the bags.

I knew when Tim was at the top of the stairs. I knew when he came down slowly. I was so pleased when he came up behind me to wrap his arm around my upper shoulder over my neck and pulled me against him. I could feel his breath on the top of my head. I sighed in contentment.

Charley held up some apples, then stopped for only a second, looking at us. He nodded gand went back to putting away his prizes.

Tim spoke to him over my head. “You got a car?”

“Yep, you will like it. It is clean, with the GPS tracking removed. When are you leaving?”

Tim hung on to me, but I knew he was looking out the back windows of the house. “We must leave as soon as possible. I can’t allow anyone to be drawn here. I must protect Michelle. We need to get on the road. We will eat, then at twilight we will go. You need to get rid of the bike. As usual, get rid of all traces of us.”

Tim kissed my head, and talking to me in my ear, he said. “I am getting us a couple of canvas suitcases. Take everything you have brought with you.”

He let me go. I felt him move away and there was a loss. Strange. I turned to go back upstairs. I began checking everywhere and putting all that belonged to me on the bed. I had my backpack. I tried to remember where I might have tossed anything else. I looked under the bed. I checked in the drawers. I thought I had pulled everything. I went into the bathroom to grab his toothbrush, the toothpaste, and the comb. I could not think of anything I might have missed, but I was pretty sure Charley would erase all traces of our DNA from the bedroom and bathroom after we left.

By the time I was back to the bedroom, Tim was in the room. He had set two canvas bags on the bed. I began putting everything into one while I looked at him. I held up my empty backpack.

“Take it. We will get rid of it later, in a safe place, or you might end up using it again.”

We got everything together, then I relied on Tim to be the expert in getting the last inspection done. I carried both cases downstairs. Charley had supper almost ready. I helped put together a salad. It did not take long before we all sat down to have a slow meal. There wasn’t a lot of talk, but Tim and I sat close. I felt his leg against mine throughout the meal. It was as if it was something that had always been there.

Sitting there at the table, with his leg against mine, it hit me, so clear. I was truly in love. The old fashioned,
until death do us part
, I don’t care who or what you are, it doesn’t matter what you have done, real love. I couldn’t swallow the food in my mouth. I wasn’t sure what I had eaten. I looked over at him.

He saw my look. “What?”

I shook my head and finally swallowed my food, calling it quits on the eating. I put my hand under the table and on his leg. He smiled and he quit eating, putting a warm hand on top of mine.

I helped Charley clean up the kitchen while Tim took our stuff outside. We sat around the table for another hour listening to Charley as he talked about life on a farm in Kentucky. Tim was close with his arm on my shoulder, twisting a strand of my hair. Tim at last stood up. “Time to go.”

Charley nodded. “I have a couple coming over to visit. You might pass them on the road.”

Tim pulled me to leave. We grabbed our jackets as we went out the back door. I was shocked. There was a dark blue Mercedes SUV. Tim handed me the keys. “You drive so I can watch for a while.”

I didn’t hesitate. I was going to take his orders without holding back from now on. It would be important, even if I still had some doubts. Besides, I had never driven a Mercedes. OMG.

“We are going to head north east. We are looking for the Ohio Turnpike. From there, we will go west.” Tim gave me directions as he buckled up.

The only thing that left me uncomfortable was the fact that Tim pulled out the small bag that held his gun and put it by his feet. We pulled out of the long driveway. Sure enough, we saw a car waiting to turn in. It held a young couple. The man nodded at us, then they disappeared from view as they made the turn. They had an identical SUV to the one we were driving.

“Are they pretending to be us?” I asked as I carefully took the heavy smooth-driving vehicle on the road.

Tim reached over to put his hand on my thigh. “It is, just in case. We don’t think anyone knows about this house. But it never hurts to spread a little confusion and erase any footprints.” Tim had me use the fancy adjustments for his side view mirror so I realized he was arranging to watch for anyone tailing us without being obvious.

For me, driving this luxury vehicle was easy. I just started watching signs and soon found the first green signs in the shape of the state that indicated the Ohio Turnpike that was part of an interstate highway system. A system required payment. As we entered the manned gate, a bored guard who was already looking at the next car, handed us a card.

I saw the camera that registered our tag and probably took our picture. “Tim, won’t there be a problem with the camera?”

Tim sat still, not saying anything until we had picked up speed, then he looked around to watch the traffic coming through with us. “Slow down to the speed limit and let the traffic go on past us. When you get to the first rest area, pull into it for a stop. The windshield distorts the camera’s view. It will show the people from the car behind us.”

He watched the traffic around us as it passed, but it did not seem to take him long to relax. I drove the speed limit that seemed to make our vehicle be much slower than all the rest of the traffic. Evidently the speed limit and the speed vehicles traveled on this road where two different things.

“Pick up the speed to keep up with the traffic until we get to the rest stop.” Tim’s voice was in a
military order
mode, not the pleasant lower tone I really would have preferred, but I wasn’t going to complain.

The Mercedes drove like a dream. Finally, I did see the large rectangular sign for the rest area. I stayed in the outside lane so that in time, I gave the signal for the turn. I pulled into the long paved driveway to a very generous parking lot with enough lights to make people feel safe. I felt safe until Tim pulled the small saddlebag up and pulled out the gun. He leaned forward to have room to push the gun into his belt in back. He pointed where he wanted me to park. When he got out, he adjusted his shirt, pulling his jacket on over everything as he stood within the open car door.

“Let’s go to the bathroom. I am going to walk you up to the woman’s, but I am actually going to take you into the men’s side where you can use a booth. Go ahead and use it so that you will be comfortable as we travel.”

He walked with his arm around my neck, pulling me close. He kissed my head, allowing him to look over and around the area. When we got to the entry to the two restrooms, he stopped, pushing me up against the wall. He shoved his body against me, kissing me deeply this time. I immediately reacted with heat below and welcome above.
