Off the Record (19 page)

“I appreciate you saying that...about not writing an article. But I have to be honest with you, that has no bearing on whether or not I make love to you. I’ve already decided I want you too much and I’m willing to risk your written retribution.”

Her lips purse together in a tiny “o” as she understands what I’m saying. Then she gives me a wicked grin. “So...you’re saying there are no more barriers between us right now? That the timing is finally, right?”

I answer her grin with my own. “That’s right.”

Ever’s pink tongue slips out of those perfect lips and runs along her bottom one. Her eyes go a shade darker and she stands from the couch. I start to get up too...why I don’t know, but her sudden movement startles me. She holds her hand up to halt my action, and comes to stand between my legs.

I just look up at her, wondering what she is doing. She doesn’t keep me in the dark for long because she bends forward and kisses me. Her tongue slides in, caresses mine briefly then she pulls back. She stares at me...just for a few seconds but I’m captivated. Then her hands reach down and she pops the top button of my jeans.

The move is unexpected and I stay absolutely still. Her gaze finally slides downward and I let my eyes follow too. I watch her dainty hands gently grip my zipper and lower it. I am so achingly hard right now and I hope I don’t embarrass myself at her first touch. Because there is no doubt she wants to touch me.

“I’ve been wanting to do this since Oklahoma,” she whispers. Then she looks back in my eyes as her soft hand reaches in and takes a hold of me.

My body has no control. At the first, warm contact of her hand, my hips surge up and a groan slides out of my mouth. I close my eyes for just a moment, and relish the feel of her thumb circling around the top of my erection.

“Watch me, Linc,” she commands. My eyes fly open at her words and my breath hitches as she kneels in between my legs. “Watch me taste you.”

Holy. Fuck.

Those words alone are so damn sexy, I’m afraid I might lose it before her lips ever touch me. I’m mesmerized as she lowers her head, her dark hair falling over her shoulders. She peeks up at me one time with those aquamarine jewels before she takes me into her mouth. It’s an image I’ll never forget as long as I live.

Ever has mad skills. Sheathing her teeth, she takes me in deep, her tongue and lips leaving no part of me untouched. Her hand grips me tight at the base as her mouth glides up and down. My hands reach to her head and I’m amazed at my restraint as I just rest them lightly at the sides of her face. Every instinct in me wants to hold her head in place and slam into her. As if sensing my urgency, Ever moves over me faster. She grips me a little more tightly and sucks on me just a bit harder.

I think for a brief moment that I should pull her off of me, and I think my hands even tighten on her head. But then she growls low in her throat and the vibration shoots straight through my dick.

Like a massive ocean wave rolling in, I am powerless to stop the explosion that tears through my body. Ever even gives a hum of approval as I shoot hot into her mouth, and I’m almost embarrassed that a hoarse shout escapes my lips. I shudder hard, ecstasy ripping through my body. It takes several moments for my breathing to get under control.

Damn if that wasn’t the most amazing head I’ve ever been given. And now Ever is looking up at me again with a smile on her face, and fuck if she doesn’t lick her lips like she’s just had the best gourmet dinner in the world. She lays her arms primly across my lap and rests her chin on them, just staring at me.

“As soon as my legs regain their feeling, I’m going to cart you off to the bedroom and fuck you about ten different ways,” I tell her.

She stands up, trailing a finger across the tip of my semi-hard dick. “I’m going to go in the bedroom right now and get naked. You come after me when you’re ready.”

I watch as she walks down the hallway to the master bedroom. She pulls her shirt over her head as she walks away from me, and drops it on the floor.

I jump up from the couch and practically run after her.

I step down into the huge claw foot bathtub, the bubbles tickling at my calves. Then I sink back into the most amazing cushion of a man...Linc Caldwell. His soapy, slick skin presses to my back and his arms wrap around me as I settle in between his legs. My head falls back to rest on his chest and my eyes close.

I’m so tired yet exhilarated at the same time. For the past two days, Linc has been insatiable...and well, so have I.

When he followed me back to the bedroom after I had given him that blow job—which by the way was an amazing experience in and of itself—he attacked me before I could even make it to the bed.  The man apparently needed no recovery time because he picked me up and tossed me on the bed, tearing the rest of my clothes off. I was startled because he was already naked, apparently having ditched his clothes somewhere in between the living room and bedroom.

He was all over me, and I was all over him. He covered my body with his own and engaged me in the most hot, steamy and passionate kiss I’ve ever had in my life. All the while, his hands explored. They were rough, then gentle. Pinching...rubbing...smoothing over my skin. As his tongue roamed my mouth, I closed my eyes and I swear it felt like a million different touches were gliding over my body.

My hands and mouth did no less to him. I was thrilled to lick over the hard lines and planes of his body. The way his shoulders bunched and flexed as I dug my fingertips in. Or the hard gasp of pleasure he made into my mouth when I reached between us to wrap my hand around his thickness.

It was at that point that he moved from my mouth downward. He stopped to pay exquisite attention to my breasts, but it wasn’t enough. I was achy and full of need. My hands were moving everywhere on him. My thighs were locked against his ribs as he pulled and sucked at my nipples, squeezing the breath out of him I’m sure.

“Linc...please...I need you.”

He moved up my body again, sealing his mouth over mine. His hand went between my legs and I practically screamed into his mouth when he plunged two fingers into me at once. I could feel my muscles squeezing and clamping on him, and he moaned again over my reaction.

“You are so fucking wet...hot...you’re driving me crazy.”

“Linc...now...”

He removed his fingers and settled himself between my thighs. He was huge and pulsing. I rubbed myself against him, causing him to pull away from my mouth and bury his head into my neck with a groan. “Ever...I don’t have much control left.”

I tilted my hips up to his, frantic with the need to get him inside of me. I could feel my blood rushing through my veins, pounding in my head. “Good...let go Linc.”

He did nothing more than hiss the word, “Fuck” into my ear and then started pushing his way inside while his face stayed buried in my neck.

I wrapped my legs around and dug my heels into his ass, urging him in. I was mindless, out of control. All I could think about was needing him inside of me. It was like there was this itch inside of me that would turn me inside out if I didn’t have him.

With a wordless grunt, he sank himself inside of me and then he went still for just a minute. I closed my eyes and just felt him...hard and throbbing.

Linc pulled his face away from my neck and stared at me. Oh my God, the look in his eyes was almost frightening. It was hotter than the depths of Hell and I even noted lines of strain around his eyes, like he was fighting with himself to slow down.

I stared right back at him and said with my own determination, “Don’t you even think about slowing this down, Linc.”

His face actually looked pained over my words but he did what I wanted him to. He grabbed my legs and hooked his arms underneath of them, spreading me wide and pulling my hips up off the bed.

Then he started pounding inside of me. There was no slow, delicious build up to his speed and strength. He started out giving me all he had. Every time he slammed in, a shock of molten electricity shot through my body and I could feel my entire body tightening in anticipation of something to come...something that I wasn’t even sure I could handle.

Linc spoke to me in staccato words and through gritted teeth as he slammed in and pulled out. “Fucking...feels...so good...more...want more...”

His words started pushing me toward the edge. And for a fleeting moment, I thought of Marc...and that in the two years we were together, and the countless times we had sex, I had never...ever...felt anything like this. And then Marc was gone and I focused my eyes on Linc’s face.

His eyes bore into mine and he growled, “I’m close...you better come with me, Ever. You better fucking come with me.”

That was all I needed and the dam broke loose. An explosion of pleasure so intense, it bordered on painful, ripped through my entire body. I felt every muscle in my body tense and then release, and for a split second, I couldn’t feel anything. It was like I was suspended in nothingness. Then wave, after wave of pure orgasmic delight flooded through me. Linc’s name came out of my mouth like a prayer.

He answered me by giving one more, hard thrust, then he threw his head back with his eyes closed. I felt him pulse inside of me and he bit down on his bottom lip so hard, I thought he would bleed. His whole body shuddered and when he opened his eyes, they were no less heated than before. He made contact with my gaze, which I’m sure was wondrous and sated all at once, and his hips reflexively jerked against me as he rode out all of the tremors running through his body.

Then his weight sagged against me where he stayed for just a brief moment before rolling to the side, pulling me with him.

We laid like that for several minutes, our chests mashed against one another. I focused on the mad beating of our hearts, which strangely seemed to be in sync. Linc’s arms were wrapped tightly around me, his chin resting on top of my head. I reveled in the feeling, which caused a weird pang in my chest. Could my ice be cracking?

Linc then pulled back suddenly. “Fuck...we didn’t use protection. I got so caught up...I didn’t think...”

Okay, that brought my warm and fuzzies down.

I looked up at him and the panic on his face was chilling. “I’m on the pill, so we don’t have to worry about pregnancy.” I hesitated over what I wanted to say next, because it was embarrassing to me. “I’m clean though. After Marc cheated on me...I went to the doctor to get checked out. I was so afraid...”

Linc pulled me back closer to him and kissed the top of my head. “Don’t think about him. And I’m clean, too. I mean...I’ve never had sex without a condom before. And Christ, Ever...that was the best fucking feeling in the world.”

I smiled into his neck over those words. I know that was the best freakin’ orgasm I’d ever had and I’m pleased that he felt rocked by the experience.

“But I can wear a condom next time if you want,” he said hesitantly.

I just shook my head in the negative and whispered against his neck. “There’s going to be a next time, huh?”

I couldn’t see his face but I could feel him smile. It radiated through his body. “Yeah...there’s definitely going to be a next time.”

As I sit in the tub, with Linc just holding me, I can’t help but feel a little squirmy thinking about that first time. And it only got better from there. We christened about every room and piece of furniture that the cabin held. It was a complete house of iniquity.

I have never been sexually inhibited, at least not with my only other experience, which was Marc. But I don’t think I realized just how much of a blow to my sexual self-esteem I’d taken until I sat here in this tub, with an amazingly hot and wonderful man, and realized just how satisfied I feel at this moment. I mean, I don’t have any illusions that this is anything other than extremely gratifying sex. I do know that neither my heart nor my head is willing to venture in that direction. I’m still harboring too much hurt over my past experiences.

“What are you thinking?” Linc murmurs in my ear. He’s picked up the soap and has started rubbing it over my breasts. I wiggle my backside against him and I can feel him getting hard.
