Special Forces: Operation Alpha: Protecting Maddie (Kindle Worlds Novella) (An Omega Team Crossover Book 4) (8 page)

Without saying a word, he lifted her in his arms and carried her to her bedroom where he set her on the floor.

“Clothes,” he rasped. “Off.”

She undressed, her fingers trembling so she could hardly undo buttons and clasps. Maybe if she’d watched what she was doing it would have been better, but she couldn’t tear her eyes away from the man in front of her. In seconds, he had stripped away his fatigues, kicked his boots to the side, and yanked down his boxer briefs. When her gaze fell on his erection, standing away from his body thick and proud, she forgot about whatever he might have in mind. Sinking to her knees, she wrapped the fingers of one hand around his cock and closed her mouth over the velvety head.

“Fuck!” The word exploded out of his mouth.

Inspired, and drawn by the salty taste of him and the smoothness of the skin stretched hard over his shaft, she slid her lips up and down, following a path sketched by her hand. Hawkeye grabbed her shoulders, digging his fingers in so hard she wondered if they’d leave bruises.

Maddie had never been a fan of giving oral sex—and sometimes not even of receiving it—but she realized in an instant it was because she’d never done it with the right person.
This
was the right person. Even if this was an aberration, if she only had him for a short time, she was going to make the most of it. Store up memories she could live on for a long, long time.

She set up a rhythm up and down, hands and mouth, stroking, sucking, reveling in the groans rumbling up from his chest and the way his fingers gripped her head so hard, guiding it this way and that. His breath rasped loudly in the room, more so as blood surged through the vein on his shaft and he began to rock his hips. Emboldened, she slipped her other hand between his sculpted thighs until she cupped the sac with his balls in the palm of her hand, squeezing rhythmically in concert with the glide of her lips and fingers on his erection.

When she pulled her mouth all the way back so only the tip was encased, he groaned and thrust forward, urging her to take him deep again. She swirled the tip of her tongue around the velvety head, squeezed his balls, then took him all the way deep in her throat.

“Fuck!” he shouted, louder this time. “Jesus, Maddie. I’m…I’m….”

But she already felt it, the surge of pressure through his shaft, the tightening of his balls, the tensing of his body. Tilting her head back she took him as deep into her throat as she could just as the first spurt of cum burst onto her tongue and into her throat. She sucked hard over and over, never letting up the rhythm of her strokes, making her own humming noises of satisfaction.

When she had sucked every last bit of cum from him, when he was well and truly spent, she eased her mouth from his cock, letting it rest in the palm of her hand. Hawkeye urged her to her feet, tilted her chin up so he could give her eyes that searching look.

“That wasn’t quite what I had envisioned right off the bat.” One corner of his mouth kicked up in hint of a grin. “I wanted to come inside you, feel the hot walls of your pussy close down on me. But, darlin’, that was almost a religious experience. I can only hope you enjoyed it half as much as I did.”

“No question about it.” She licked her lips, and heat danced in his eyes.

“But now it’s my turn.”

Before she could say a word, he had the covers stripped back from the bed and had placed her on it, the curve of her ass resting on the edge of the mattress. He knelt before her, setting her legs on his shoulders, and ran his hands up the inside of her thighs.

“I thought every night about how good you tasted,” he told her in a husky voice. “Now I get to enjoy it again.”

With his thumbs he peeled back her labia and drew a line with his tongue the length of her slit, up and back, over and over. Electricity sizzled through her, and she hitched her body toward him. She dreamed about his tongue inside her almost every night. She wanted that feeling for real.

But Hawkeye seemed to enjoy tormenting her, taking his time. With the tip of his tongue, he drew lazy lines over every inch of her wet pink flesh, the pouty lips, the soft area around her opening. When he closed his teeth over her throbbing clit, tugging it and gently biting down on it, the sharp sensations triggered a climax that roared up without warning. Hawkeye pressed his thumbs at her opening and thrust his tongue inside, using it as he would his cock, dragging it over her sensitive flesh as she clamped down on him, spasms gripping her. He was like a man possessed, determined to torment her with pleasure.

When the shudders eased, he still continued to lick her overly aroused flesh until she was sure he’d drawn every drop of liquid from her. He eased her legs down and rose from the floor, bending over her and balancing himself on his hands.

“Taste,” he ordered, thrusting his tongue into her mouth, “Now you have the core of us mixed together, so blended you can’t tell where one ends and the other begins.”

The combined flavors were sharp, with a salty-sweet overlay. When she licked her lips, Hawkeye gave another of his soft rumbling roars. She was still catching her breath when he moved her on the bed to the position he wanted her in—on her knees with a pillow tucked beneath her tummy. She couldn’t believe he was ready again.

“Don’t move,” he ordered, as he climbed off the bed.

She waited, wondering where he had gone and what he was doing, but then he was back, and she heard the crinkling of a foil package being opened.
Of course. The condom
.

“I’ve been dreaming about this,” he told her in a guttural voice, positioning himself behind her.

She felt the head of his cock probe at her entrance, ease inside a little, then a little more.
Oh god!
She tried to thrust her hips back at him, silently pleading with him to enter her all the way, but he obviously was intent on teasing her. He kept up the same slow, teasing pace, pulling back then easing in a little more each time, until at last! At last! He was finally completely inside her. The walls of her sex gripped down on him, clamping hard. Maddie rocked her hips, silently begging for more. For harder.

Hawkeye placed his lips close to her ear.

“I’d love to make this one last all night,” he told her. “But, Maddie, I’m about to explode again. I need to fuck that sweet little pussy until you come your brains out.”

Yes! Yes! Yes!
She wanted to shout it.

He dragged his mouth down her spine, leaving a trail of wet kisses. When he reached her ass, he licked the curve of each one before sliding one hand onto her hot crevice and pressing the tip of his finger against her anus.

“Before tonight’s over,” he promised in that same erotically husky voice, “I’ll have you here, too. I’m going to have you every way possible so I’ll be forever imprinted on your body.”

Then, as if some hidden signal had tripped, he grabbed her hips, steadied himself, and drove into her fully. In and out, back and forth, no tentative moves here. He filled her completely over and over, his thick erection dragging against her inner walls, hitting that sweet spot every time. Maddie closed her eyes and lost herself in the sensation of it, letting him possess her body to the fullest.

“I dreamed of this,” he growled, his breathing choppy. “When I fell asleep at night, all I could think of was your sweet little pussy grabbing my cock and holding on forever. Come with me, Maddie. Come with me now.”

Her climax unraveled within her like the unwinding of a steel coil, the sensations roaring through her, her body riding up the crest with every stroke of Hawkeye’s cock inside her. And then they were there again, together. Exploding. Shaking. Through the thin latex shield, she could still feel the hot spurts of his cum, and she flew, shaking hard with the force of the orgasm.

At last, when she was sure she would faint from the intensity of it all, the shudders began to subside. Hawkeye laid a string of kisses along her spine again before easing himself from her body and off the bed.

“Back in a sec,” he whispered and left to deal with the condom.

When he returned to the bed, he slid the pillows out from beneath her and turned her to her back. Catching his weight on his forearms, he cradled her cheeks in his hands and pinned her with his gaze. Maddie searched his eyes for some clue of what this had all been about and what would come next. She was almost afraid to ask.

“I know you’re shocked to see me here,” he began.

Her laugh was tiny and edged with hysteria. “You could say that.”

He brushed his lips gently over hers. “I don’t even know where to begin. Maddie, I’ve been a loner for such a long time. When I was accepted into Delta, it became the entire focus of my life. I had never trusted relationships anyway, and now I had a good excuse to avoid them.”

“Is that what you wanted to do? Avoid them?” She kept her voice as soft and even as she could. She had no idea what he expected her to say.

“I did.” He exhaled slowly. “But then I met you. You were everything I wanted in a woman, if I’d been allowing myself to want one. Brave. My god, that standoff at your school. It took guts most people wouldn’t even dream of having.”

“I hope I don’t have to do it again anytime soon,” she told him.

“And then this whole thing with Scalzo. You never broke, never let your fear overtake you. You’re smart. Sexy. Beautiful.”

A little pain jabbed at her heart. “I think I hear a ‘but’ in there.”

“You do, but it applied to me. Everything I ever wanted was right there in front of me, and I was too stupid and blind and pigheaded to reach out and take it.” He gave her another gentle touch of his lips. “I didn’t think I could have both you and Delta. I didn’t want to get married only to have it fall apart because of the stress of what I do. Or leave someone behind who would have to mourn me if I got killed.”

“But—”

“Hush. Let me finish before I lose my nerve.”

The look he gave her was so intense she was sure he could see clear inside her soul.

She reached up and stroked his cheek, pushing the damp hair back from his face. She ran her fingers lightly over the scruff on his jaw, realizing she probably had beard burn all over her body and not caring a bit.

“Go on,” she urged.

“It was Ghost who convinced me I had my head up my ass. He and Rayne have made it work, and so have a lot of others. He told me what an ass and a fool I was. And it would serve me right if before I had the balls to come back and see you, someone else swept you up and carried you away.”

Maddie was afraid to say anything and disrupt the line of his thinking. Her heart was pounding harder, her nerves raw with uncertainty. She wanted to tell him to get on with it already, but she saw he had to go at his own pace.

“I don’t know if you can fall in love this fast,” he said. “We had such a short time together. But if this isn’t love, I don’t know what else to call it.”

“Me, either,” she whispered.

“Be mine, Maddie,” he begged. “Wait for me. I’ll always come home to you.”

“But—”

He frowned. “But what?”

She wet her lips. Nerves itching. “But you haven’t told me how you feel.”

He barked a laugh. “Well, damn. I think I need someone to write my scripts for me.” He rolled over, taking her with him, so she was stretched out flat on top of him. “I love you, Maddie. The guys on my team always say when it hits, you know it right away. I was a stupid ass for fighting it.”

She grinned, relief coursing through her. “Okay.”

He quirked an eyebrow. “Okay? That’s it?”

“I love you, too.”

He pulled her down for a kiss she felt in every inch of her body. This wasn’t an erotic kiss, or a sensual one. It was, however, filled with heated passion and so much emotion it brought tears to her eyes.

“You’ll have to help me as we go along, Maddie. I’m not real good on the communication thing. Will you teach me?”

“I’d love to.” She smiled. “We can spend years learning.”

“I only have ten days this time before my next assignment. Is it possible for you to get a substitute at school? After this, we’ll be able to plan and stuff, but this time I want to spend every single minute with you.”

She laughed. “I think that can be arranged. I’ll call the principal. We can spend the whole ten days learning and loving each other.” She sobered. “I’ll still worry about you, though. You know that.”

“I do, but you’re a strong woman. I believe in my heart that even if I come home wounded, you’ll still be here for me, loving me.”

“You got that right, soldier.”

He grinned. “Ghost told me he and Rayne discussed that possibility. You know what she said?”

“What?”

“As long as you come home with the two most important things, your heart and your cock, I’m good.”

Maddie laughed so hard she nearly rolled off of Hawkeye. When she could stop giggling, she said, “True that.”

He rolled her beneath him again. “I think we’d better get started on that learning thing right now.”

“Isn’t that why you fell in love with a teacher?” she teased.

Hawkeye smacked her ass. But then the look in his eyes turned hot and simmering, and, against her body, she felt his cock once again hard and swollen.
