A soft squeal left her mouth when she
turned around and found he had moved into the kitchen and was standing beside
the counter watching her.

“Oh, I thought you were in the other room,”
she said her hand on her heart. The warmth started up her cheeks and he smiled
at her, seemingly amused by her reaction.

“I'm sorry. I just thought it was rude to
not offer some help. Does this little guy need a bottle or anything now he’s
awake?” The fawn was nuzzling into the crook of his arm and looked incredibly
tiny against Red's large body.

“Oh yes, I guess it must be about that
time. That’s if you don’t mind.” Rhian reached for a small bottle and teat on
the draining board, filling it from a jug she took from the fridge.

“No, I guess I kind of enjoyed it on
Saturday, it was a new experience for me. I never had much to do with animals
when I was a kid unless it was lab rats.” He looked at her bashfully, a crooked
smile on his lips as if the admission made him just a little bit uncomfortable.

“Eww. That’s a bit sad. I always had a
menagerie of sorts. I was constantly bringing something home and it drove my
mother nuts. At the moment I only have this little guy, my last orphans were
carried off to new homes this morning. I'll just warm this bottle for Bambi and
we can go and sit on the deck and watch the boats.”

“Bambi?” Red cocked an eyebrow at her and grinned.
His whole face lit up and Rhian sighed, clamping her thighs together to stem
the wash of heat racing through her body.

“Yeah I know, not very original but hey,
it's better than nothing.” Rhian shrugged her shoulders and filled the small
bottle with animal formula and added it to the tray with the mugs of tea. She
lifted it and walked out onto the deck and placed it on a table between two
cushion-filled wicker chairs.

Moving a stack of books from one of the
chairs, she indicated Red should sit and then passed him the bottle. She
watched a tranquil smile settle over his face as the fawn latched on and
suckled contentedly.

“I'm glad you stopped by. I was hoping you
would,” she said softly.

He looked over at her and dropped his gaze
down to the floor. The blush rushed up over his cheeks and Rhian felt for him.

“In fact, I was going to hunt you up if I
didn't see you this week,” she said deciding to be open about it.

“Why?”

“Why not? You made quite an impression on
me yesterday, laying your bike down so you didn’t run over Bambi, who is a
little female by the way. That was very sweet of you, not many people would
have done that. Now she gets a chance to become a mother in the future. Such a
shame it would have been if she had died along with her Mam, I think.” She
flicked a lock of hair from her face and brought her gaze back to his. “Anyway
I like you and I hoped that you felt the same way.” The shutters came down on
his face.

“I want to get to know you better, is that
okay?” she asked.

He put the empty bottle on the tray and
rubbed the fawn's ears before he answered her. “I don’t know what you want from
me, seriously. There are plenty of good looking guys out there you could date.
I'm just a science geek with a side case of OCD who’s a bit of a loner. I don’t
even know why I came here.” He had a panicked look in his eyes and Rhian
resisted the urge to get up and wrap her arms around him.

“Maybe I should just go,” he mumbled.

“No. No don’t, please stay. I like your
company Red. And I don’t see you as a geek. I see you as a man who has so much
to offer but you have a barrier a mile wide around you. Did someone hurt you?”

Red stood and walked inside, putting the
deer back in its pen. Rhian got up and ran to his side. She grabbed his arm to
stop him from heading for the door.

“I'm so sorry. Da was right. I always let
my mouth get the better of me. Look, just let me finish please. I want to get
to know you because I like what I've seen so far. I don’t care if you think you
are just a science geek. I see a handsome man who is so very unsure of his own
magnetism.” She ran her hand up his arm and smiled at him. “I see someone who I
want to get to know more. And I want to kiss you.”

She ignored the shocked look on his face
and stood on her tiptoes. Gripping both of his arms she placed her lips on his,
tentatively at first and then firmly. When his mouth moved under hers, she
flicked her tongue over the nub of his top lip before searching inside with her
tongue for contact.

 

Chapter 3

 

Red’s arms instinctively wrapped around her
body and he pulled her closer, her full breasts pressing against his chest. His
cock sprang to attention, reacting to her warm flesh as she rubbed her body up
against his. Stepping back, he gazed down into her dreamy eyes. “I don’t know
if this is such a good idea.”

“I think it’s a terrific idea actually. We
obviously have chemistry and that’s a good start. I don’t know about you, but I
haven’t had sex in a while and I really want to take you to bed if you don’t
mind.” Rhian gazed at him, a wide grin on her face.

Red was shocked by her blatant statement.
Sure he would take her to bed but after sex, what would they have? She wouldn't
return his calls and he would be left once again with sore balls and bad
memories of the usual one night stand. The story of his life it would seem. No
one wanted more than one date with him.

“Why would you want to have sex with me
now? Don't you want flowers and dinner or a movie first?” He hated the thought
of the dating ritual.

“No, not really, I'm a pretty basic person.
I don’t have to be wined and dined although if you want to take me to dinner
somewhere another night I won't say no. It will hardly make any difference to
how I feel about you.”

Yeah, sure. Same thing, different order.

The last girl he dated wanted it all before
sex. Dinner, a show, and a side plate of shopping before she would let him take
her to bed. After waiting for so long, Red had got there quickly much to her
disappointment. It was all about her and she was disgusted he had not taken
‘her needs into consideration before his own’, her words. Would this girl be
different and could he risk it?

He debated for all of five seconds before
his mouth found hers again. He wound his fingers through her hair and groaned
as he plundered her mouth. She smelled so good and her lips were silky soft
under his. Grinding his hips against hers he felt so damned alive. She slid her
hands down his back and gripped his ass. Squeezing his cheeks made his cock
throb more and he worried he wouldn’t last long enough to please her. That had
always been a problem for him. The lack of sex made each experience over too
soon.

“If you keep squeezing my ass like that, I
won't make it to the bedroom.” He groaned as she did it again, laughing at his
reaction.

“We have all night Red. I'm sure you won't
mind it I have an orgasm or two before you make love to me, in fact I'll insist
on it. Why would I worry if you do as well? What's good for the goose and all
that.” She looked up at him, the tip of her tongue peeking through those soft lips.

Letting go of his ass, she wound her
fingers through his and pulled him down the hallway and into a large corner
room. The long windows in the room reached the ceiling and he could see right
across the bay. The focal point of the room was the huge four poster bed
covered in feminine pink and cream pillows piled high against the headboard.
Through an open doorway he spotted a freestanding tub in an equally sumptuous
bathroom.

Rhian grabbed the collar of his jacket and
peeled it down over his shoulders, letting it drop to the floor. She hooked her
fingers behind his ears and removed his glasses, tossing them on to the table
next to the bed. His T-shirt followed. She tweaked his nipples playfully,
glancing up at his face before kneeling in front of him. He stood still as she
unclipped his boots and lifted his feet, throwing his footwear to the side.

Red held his breath as she leaned up and
popped the button on his jeans. When her fingers ran the length of him before
she undid the zipper, he almost cried out in agony. It had been too long since
anyone had touched him. Rhian slid his jeans from his hips, smiling up at him,
a wicked gleam in her eyes. His boxers were tented out in front of him, and she
could be in little doubt about his present physical state. With a devilish
look, she hooked her fingers under the elastic and slid the boxers down his
legs to pool at his feet

Rhian ran her fingers from the tip of his
cock to his balls with a soft caress. She squeezed his sac, rolling his balls
in one hand and used the fingers on her other hand to rub the head until he was
thrusting against her palm.

“Wow, slow down tiger,” she cooed to him.
When her hot breath rolled over the head of his cock he almost lost control.
Groaning, he rolled his hips and her warm lips clamped over him. Gripping
handfuls of her long hair, he closed his eyes and gave in to the sensation of
her moist lips on his cock. He leaned back and let her take him deep into her
mouth.

Rhian worked him up into a frenzy with her
teeth scraping the sensitive skin. Red groaned low in his throat when she
sucked him all the way into her mouth. He held his breath, terrified he would
come too soon. If he bothered to take himself in hand more often he wouldn’t
lose it so quickly but he always felt a bit weird doing it. No wonder he
couldn’t keep a date more than one night, his stamina and sexual prowess were
fucked up, totally.

She took him deeper into her hot mouth,
sliding his cock in and then backing off, scraping her teeth over the head
before sucking it back in again. Her fingers worked on his sac, massaging his
balls and no matter how much he tried not to come, Red knew he was failing. His
body refused to listen to his brain and his hips pumped furiously as he tipped
over the edge.

Rhian clung to him, taking every last drop.
When his body stilled, he opened his eyes and looked down expecting to see
disdain in her eyes. Instead she had a big grin on her face and her cheeks were
flushed.

“I'm sorry about that.” Red reached down to
grab his boxers from the floor but she grabbed his hand in hers.

“What is there to be sorry about? Sheesh, I
told you we had all night and it didn’t matter who got there first. You sure
have some hang-ups about sex, don’t you?” She stood and cupped his face in her
hands. She gazed into his eyes and then placed a soft kiss on his lips. “How
about undressing me Red and we can take this to the bed? I could do with an
orgasm that good.”

“I don’t need a sympathy fuck, Rhian.”

She slapped him on the arm, a frown on her
face. “No, and you're not getting one either. I want sex now and I want it with
you, alright? Now you can sulk and dissect what we just did or you can help me
out of these clothes. I really don’t want to resort to Bob tonight with such a
hot man in my room. Not after I've given him a great ride. I think the least
you can do is reciprocate.”

He stared at her at her trying to figure
out if she meant what she said. She stood there, seduction in her eyes and the
vision of her sucking on his cock was already making him horny again. Red held
her chin in one hand and lifted her mouth to his. He ran his tongue over her
lips, tasting the saltiness of him still on her mouth. Plunging his tongue
inside her warm mouth he danced his tongue around hers. He sucked hers into his
mouth and bit it gently with his teeth before letting it go.

“Don’t stop, please,” she moaned as she ran
her hands around his back to cup his naked butt, her fingers lightly brushing
the scars from his fall last weekend.

Red undid the zipper of her skirt and let
it fall to the floor. Unwinding her arms from around him, he lifted her sweater
and pulled it over her head, throwing it down on the floor. He ran his hands up
to her shoulders, before sliding her bra straps down her arms. He traced a
finger over the lace peeking out over the top of her breasts and her nipples
pebbled under the sheer fabric. Leaning down, he ran his tongue over the
hardened nub before taking it in his mouth and sucking it through the light
fabric.

Rhian moaned and pushed her hips into his.
Red kept one arm around her body and let the other hand travel down her
stomach. He rubbed his finger on the crotch of her panties, thrilled to find
them damp already. He hooked a finger under the elastic, worked his way to her
moist pussy, and slid a finger inside.

Her hands clamped onto either side of his
head and she started to ride his hand. “Oh God, don’t stop, please don’t stop.”

Red slid another finger inside and used his
thumb to work her clit. Letting go of her nipple, he took her mouth and
smothered the noises coming from her throat as he worked her up to a raging
orgasm. Her muscles clenched tight on his fingers as the spasms took control of
her body. He rubbed his thumb up and down, and teased her clit, not letting up
as she moaned and writhed against him.

* * * *

As her body stilled, Rhian let her head
fall onto his chest. That had to have been one of the best hand job orgasms
she’d been given in a long time. She felt totally sated and relaxed. She kissed
his chest nipping the skin with her teeth. She looked up at him and smiled.
“Thank you. That was very much appreciated.”

There was a hint of a smile in his eyes
before a shadow came across them. He stepped away from her and reached down for
his clothes.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t you want me to leave now? I mean you
got what you wanted didn’t you?” He looked at her with a frown wrinkling his
brow.

“No. I don’t want you to leave. Is this
what you normally do, have sex or some part of it and then walk away? I expect
more and I thought I had judged you better than that.” She sighed and shook her
head. “Look, I want more and I was kind of hoping you do too. If you want to
go, then go but I was going to get some wine and have you run us a bubble bath.
We have all night Red. I don’t want you to leave yet. Please stay?”

Twin spots of color darkened his cheeks and
he gazed over her head at the wall behind her before finally meeting her gaze.

“Why would you want me to stay? I gave you
what you wanted, I embarrassed myself and I think it would be better if I
left.”

“You didn’t embarrass yourself. What the
hell are you talking about? You got your rocks off, so did I. Didn’t you enjoy
what I did to you?”

Red took a step back and Rhian realized she
was glaring at him. She softened her stance. “Sorry, but I don’t get it. I thought
we clicked, you know. I had hoped you would be a bit more sensitive than the
usual deadbeats I've dated recently. This house usually screams out money to
guys and when they see I don’t have any they usually run a mile. 'Freaking
earthy girl who likes stray animals and is living above her means.' Not the
kind of thing I can advertise, is it?”

He gave her a small crooked smile and
shrugged his shoulders. “How about, 'nerdy scientist, uncomfortable around
gorgeous girls and no fucking staying power’? That usually has them running the
opposite way from me.”

Rhian burst out laughing. “Really, you
nerdy? You're not. No more than I'm gorgeous. Please stay, Red?” She walked
across to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, her breasts pressed into
his chest. His heart thumped against her skin. “I think a drink and a soak in
the bubbles will do us both some good. We can swap bad date stories before we
go to bed, just to clear the air. We have some unfinished business to take care
of.”

He leaned down and nipped at her mouth. “Do
you have a cold beer in the fridge?”

She squealed and clapped her hands before
pushing him toward the bathroom. “The bubbles are on the shelf, I'll be right
back.”

Rhian skipped out of the room in all of her
naked glory leaving Red to fill the bath. She hummed as she gathered a tray
with glasses and drinks. Then she added some grapes and chocolate dipped
strawberries before she turned off the lights in the living room. She flicked
her fingertips toward the candles sitting in groups on small tables, lighting
them for effect for later on.

That’s if we make it out of the bedroom
.

She carried the tray into her room and put
it on the bedside table while she threw the pillows on the floor to draw back
the covers. She lit more candles to set the mood after their soak in the
bubbles. Then she picked up the tray and walked to the bathroom.

Red was standing watching the bath fill.
She took a moment to let her gaze wander over the dark auburn curls hanging
down the back of his neck, and the broad back tapering to narrow hips. Her
hands itched to cup and bite the tight butt she had clung to before.

She coughed delicately and he swung around
to look at her, her breath hitched as she looked down at his semi erect penis.
“I think you can turn the tap off now. Leave some room for us or it will be all
over the floor.”

“Shit, sorry. I wasn’t thinking and I don’t
have my glasses on. I’m as blind as a bat without them.” He grinned sheepishly
at her and turned to shut off the water.

Rhian walked into the bathroom and placed
the tray on a small table beside the bath. She ran her fingers through the
bubbles and felt the water. Perfect. She held out her hand and beckoned him to
the tub. “Sink in and I'll pass you a beer.”

Red took her hand and stepped into the tub.
He eased down into the warm water and leaned back and closed his eyes. She
pushed a cold can into his hand.

He looked up and held her gaze. “Thank
you.”

“Hey, you're welcome.” She took a clip from
a small bowl on the table and twisted her long hair into a knot on top of her
head. She slid the clip in, holding her hair in place before she stepped into
the water and sat facing him. Rhian reached for a glass of wine and settled
herself back. The bubbles settled around her breasts. She took a sip of wine,
sighed with pleasure and leaned her head back. She let her foot wander up Red's
calf, stroking slowly with the tips of her toes.
