Holiday Treasure (Billionaire Bachelors - Book 10) (10 page)

“If you are too cold, I can cover you,” he said. “Though it would be a sin to hide your beauty.”

“I’m not cold,” she sighed. “I’m actually burning up.”

Finally, he pushed against her to turn her up toward him. He needed to be face to face with her, to see the glories of her chest and, yes, below. He wasn’t sure if she would let that happen — if she did, they both knew what would come next. He was throbbing so consistently that he didn’t know how much restraint he’d be able to show her.

But she went along with what he wanted and looked at him through half-closed lids, and it was now his turn to groan in pleasure. Her body was perfect, stunning, in fact — her breasts were high and firm, her stomach curved subtly and beautifully, and then lower, her womanhood positively gleamed, and he was desperate to spread her thighs and taste her.

Instead, he ran his hands up her stomach, the oil coating her skin as he pushed over the mounds of those amazing breasts and massaged them in his hands. Her nipples jutted out at him imploringly, and her breathing deepened.

“I want you so much, Kyla. This massage can end right now…or we can continue,” he said, needing her to understand her choices.

“I want you, too, Tanner,” she whispered.

Leaning down, he placed his hands beneath her and pressed her naked body against his clothed one — though, despite those annoying clothes, his hardened manhood was more than apparent. And then he kissed her, a slow, sure kiss that made everything spin.

Tanner’s heart thudded in his chest. He slowly moved his mouth down her throat, sucking on her glistening skin as he made his way toward her breasts. The first taste of her sweet nipple stole his breath away, and her groan made him push against her in a desperate attempt to relieve some of the ache in his throbbing shaft.

“So good,” he murmured, sucking one nipple into his mouth and flicking it with his tongue before kissing between her breasts and then giving ample attention to her other compelling areola.

Sitting up, Tanner ripped off his shirt, wanting to feel skin against skin. Then, he yanked off his pants, leaving them both naked on the bed together — naked, that was, except for his ever-present thick socks. Their bodies were entwined, their breathing heavy.

“Protection. I forgot protection,” he said, knowing he was now going to wither away to nothing. Or else break apart in a gigantic fireball.

She hesitated for a moment before speaking. “I’m…um…protected. I’m on birth control…um…to control…um…cramps,” she told him, her cheeks glowing with embarrassment.

“Good enough for me,” he told her. Say what? He’d never said anything like that before. He never trusted women when they claimed they were protected. But he didn’t think it was possible not to make love to her right now, so he banished the thought of entrapment from his mind.

He kissed her again, much less gently this time. He devoured her mouth, drinking in her sounds of pleasure once again. And then he moved down her body, pressing his lips to the curve of her stomach before spreading open her thighs and gazing at her delectable womanhood.

“So beautiful,” he said reverently before bending forward and swiping his tongue along her heat, her intoxicating scent seeping into his central nervous system and sending him into overdrive.

Slipping his fingers inside her while his tongue explored her slick folds, he groaned against her. She was more than ready for him and he knew he could take her right now. But he didn’t want to. He wanted to taste her, feel her, make love to her all night with his mouth alone.

When he felt her body tense, he sucked harder on her swollen bud of pleasure — it was as erect as he was! — and she unleashed a delicious cry that almost echoed through the room as her body shook in ecstasy. A few more gentle flicks from his tongue had her nearly sobbing, and then he climbed back up her body.
Now
he would plunge inside her!

Kyla had other plans, however. Sitting up, she pushed him over onto his back and straddled him, her eyes blazing, the heat from her core warming his pulsing arousal — as if it needed more warmth. Leaning forward, she kissed him, and then she lowered her head and trailed kisses down his chest and over his stomach.

“I’ve always thought this small patch of hair is so sexy on a man,” Kyla said as she kissed his lower stomach, causing it to quiver with her tenderly attentive touch.

He couldn’t speak as her lips gave butterfly kisses all down his throbbing staff. When her wonderful fingers gripped him and squeezed, he groaned heavily, his head turning to and fro as he gripped the bedsheets to keep him from grabbing her and flipping her over.

Her tongue circled the head of his arousal before her lips covered him and she sucked him into the hot recesses of her mouth. He felt himself losing control as she explored him, savored him, and pleasured him beyond his wildest dreams.

“No more,” he managed to say, just barely. He reached for her and pulled her up his body, keeping her lying on top of him, until they were lined up perfectly for him to thrust upward and join their bodies together.

Wrapping his hands in her hair, he brought her face to his and captured her lips, driving his tongue into her mouth the same way he was about to drive his manhood inside her core.

She squirmed on top of him, her body quivering with her own need, and he guided her thighs further apart with his knees. He reached down to her backside and drew her close so he could rub his arousal on the outside of her heat.

Pushing her upward so she was now in a sitting position, with her legs straddling his body, he watched entranced as the candlelight flickered over her incredible beauty. After running his fingers down her back until he reached her hips, he lifted her up so she was hovering over his arousal, and then he paused.

“Don’t close your eyes now,” he said as they began to drift shut. “Don’t shut me out of your desire. I want to watch you while you feel me slide inside you.”

Pushing his hips up at the same time as he pulled her body into him, he felt a rumble of pleasure emerge from his chest and travel up his throat when their bodies finally connected, when her heat surrounded him and she pulsed around him.

“Ohhhh….” She cried out, her eyes on fire, her body shaking.

Tanner couldn’t look away as he thrust upward. Kyla quickly caught on and began following his lead in their primitive rhythm, but by no means taking a passive role. They picked up speed, her beautiful breasts bouncing, her skin gleaming.

Trying not to lose control, because he was afraid he might hurt her, Tanner did his damnedest to slow down, but she reached for his shoulders and moaned her disapproval, and then pushed down hard on him.

And he did lose it.

Gripping her hips tightly, he let go and thrust hard in and out of her beautiful heat. Their breathing was manic and their movements grew faster and faster, and then she tensed, and her core gripped him, and gripped him so tight. Her cry of joy and release rent the air. One more deep thrust into her body, and his cry joined hers as he spilled his seed deep inside her.

It was several moments before their breathing slowed and she fell against him, her breasts soft and warm against his chest. He started kneading her back, his hands cupping her bottom and then going back up to her shoulders and back down again. She sighed against his neck, her hot breath making his body begin to stir once more while they were still joined together.

“I could make love to you all night and day,” he said. She was so amazing. This was all so amazing.

She murmured something against his chest and he stopped kneading so he could raise her head.

“What did you say, Kyla?”

“I said, ‘
I’m game if you are
,’” she told him with a shy smile.

That was all it took to waken him right back up. Keeping their bodies still fused, Tanner somehow flipped her over onto her back without letting their bodies disconnect, and after kissing her properly, he did his best to make love until the morning light.

They fell asleep when the candles burned out and they were both too exhausted to go on for a single minute more.

Chapter Nineteen

K
yla woke up,
her limbs still entangled with Tanner’s and she looked over at the clock. Crap! She was late. It was Tanner’s day off from the mall, but not hers. Slowly climbing from the bed, she managed to free herself and rise without waking the man.

They’d made love twice in a row, then drifted off to sleep only to wake again and make more love. Her body was sore, but she could hardly call herself unpleased with the way she felt. When she felt a rush of heat drift over her, she broke out in a broad smile.

The power was back on. Hallelujah!

Grabbing her clothes, she threw them on and then made her way out to Tanner’s living room and on to the front door. She cracked it open, praying no one was there to see her do her walk of shame.

No, she wasn’t ashamed they’d made love. They were both consenting adults, but he was the first man she’d ever slept with without being in a relationship. That made her feel slightly uneasy.

But it had been great, and she refused to regret it, but she also didn’t want him to think that she would now have all of these expectations of him. How could she? She didn’t know a heck of a lot about the guy. As a matter of fact, she didn’t even know Tanner’s last name.

As she snuck into her apartment, that thought hit her full force. She’d just spent the night in bed with a man whose last name she didn’t know. What did that make her?

No. She wasn’t going to do this to herself. She couldn’t take it back, and even if she could, she didn’t want to. It had been nearly three years since she’d made love to a man, years since she’d allowed herself a night of pleasure, passion with no guilt, no shame. She wasn’t going to take that away from herself.

After a quick shower, Kyla dressed and then slipped from her apartment. She was late to work at the mall, and she really hoped she didn’t lose her job over it. Yes, this was just a temporary job, but the agency she worked for had a lot of temp jobs, and she wanted this to lead to another one. She couldn’t blow her chances, even as an elf. She didn’t get very many hours with her other position as a part-time waitress.

“Hello, Kyla. Is everything okay?”

Kyla stopped as she ran into Wayne, the security guard who gave her the creeps. She hated feeling that way about anyone at all, especially someone who was there to protect them here, but she just didn’t like the guy and she wanted to be as far from him as possible.

“Everything is fine,” she said uneasily. “I’m just running late for work.” She began moving forward again toward the front door of the building.

“You weren’t too frightened last night, were you, with the power outage?”

“Yes. To be honest, it did frighten me, but the power is back on, so there’s no more problem.” She gave a nervous laugh.

“I checked in on you, but you weren’t in your apartment last night.”

The way he said this sent chills down her spine. The sooner she could get out of here, the better. “That was very kind of you, Wayne, but there are people here who need to be checked on a lot more than I do.”

“I like checking on you. Did I see you in the video feed that you went down to the basement?”

That stopped her in her tracks again, and a shudder passed through her. “Yes. I was trying to see if the breaker could be switched, but it was in bad shape. It seems they must have fixed it sometime between when I was down there and when I got back up.”

“You really shouldn’t go down there, not without a guard, at least. You never know what you’ll find or what can happen. Was someone with you? It was dark, and it was hard to put a face to the people in that feed.”

“I wasn’t alone, and I agree, that basement isn’t a place for anyone to be going down into in the middle of the night. I am running really late, though, so I need to leave,” she said, taking another step away.

“Of course. I don’t want to make you late.” But he grabbed her arm and stopped her. No, she wouldn’t say he did it in a threatening way, but it still made an unpleasant shiver travel down her back. “I wanted to ask if you would like to go out sometime?”

His words stopped her in her tracks. That was the last thing she’d been expecting from him. Wasn’t it inappropriate to be asking out someone in the building he was guarding? She didn’t want to upset him, but she certainly didn’t want to go on a date with the fellow.

“I’m…um…actually seeing someone right now,” she said. She wasn’t, really — yes, she’d just slept with Tanner, but they weren’t an item, and she hadn’t the least idea whether they would sleep together again, but he was a convenient excuse to get out of what she knew would be an awkward date. “I really do have to go,” she told the guard as firmly as she could, and then she pulled her arm from his grip, pushed through the doors, and practically ran from the building, her horror story fully in her mind again. She couldn’t even imagine being down in that dark basement with Wayne. Just the thought of it sent a whole new level of terror racing through her body.

She knew the man was most likely harmless, but with the power outages, and her imagination, and her aversion to this particular man, her mind was running a million different scenarios through her mind.

Kyla made it to the mall, and luckily she wasn’t too late. No one reamed her out or threatened to call her employer, so she spent the day trying to make children happy. But her mind couldn’t help but wander. What had she gotten herself into? It seemed her life was one big roller coaster and she wasn’t sure when she was going to be flipped upside down again.

After her shift she would have to visit with Billy’s grandmother. She really hoped the woman woke up soon. The boy had dealt with enough loss to last him a lifetime, and he certainly didn’t need to lose his grandmother on top of losing his parents.

Her paperwork was filled out, and she would be there for the child if she could. Maybe they needed each other.

Her night of pleasure was certainly over — that was all she could say. The real world was intruding with a big splash, and she didn’t like it one little bit.
