Sweet Revenge (Dueling with the Devil) (8 page)

“
I’m not saying that. But I’m not sure I trust you

”

Xavier flashed a sly grin
.“
I’m as trustworthy as the next g

”

He dipped his hea
d,
catching a pink bud between his teet
h,
and lapped his tongue across the tip. She writhed under hi
m,
jerking the headboard as she tried to move her arms. She cursed softly as he took another swipe of the hardening nipple. While he
teased
the righ
t,
he rolled the rosy peak on her left breast between his thumb and index finger. She threw back her hea
d,
releasing a throaty moan. If she wanted a fantas
y,
he would deliver one to make her forsake reality.

t t t

Her gaze followed him as he worked his way down her bod
y,
kissing and licking the taut expanse of her stomach. Once between her thigh
s,
Xavier lifted her legs over his shoulders. His soft lips brushed a gentle kiss just below her knee. Her leg quivered from the contact. The rough stubble on his cheek grazing her inner thigh blazed a fiery trail up her leg. Her hips rose off the bed to meet his velvety tongue dipping into her molten center. Forgetting about her binding
s,
she reached for hi
m,
forcing the leather to cut into her wrists.

“
You like that
?”
The vibration of his voice caused a low hum to course through her body.

She sank back into the pillo
w,
closed her eye
s,
and tried to regulate her breathing. His mouth closed around her clit. She gasped as his teeth scraped her swollen nub. He played wicked games with her body. Her heart pounded out of control as he penetrated her folds with his tongue. She ground into his mout
h,
urging for more. Agai
n,
she reached for hi
m,
only to be restricted by the restraints. With each reminder of her confinemen
t,
her arousal intensified.

One minute he was bringing her

the next he stopped. She opened her eyes to find him kneeling between her leg
s,
his intense green gaze locked on her. Xavier ran his hands down her muscular limb
s,
tracing the valleys of her groin with his thumbs. The sensuality of his caress beckoned a yearning to be one with him. His index finger flirted along the outline of her sex. Her body pushed up toward his touch involuntarily. He used his knuckle to skim the creamy folds of her desire. The madness of unquenched urges screamed inside her. Her body pleaded for relie
f,
but she refused him the satisfaction of verbalizing the request. Only if her body would cooperate with her mind.

The air fled her lungs when his thick finger entered her. Bell rocked against his han
d,
plunging the digit into her depths. He pulled ou
t,
thrusting it back into her moist heat. In and out he tease
d,
sending her into a frenzy. She bit into her lip when a second finger penetrated her and stretched her further. Her channel tightened around him. The force of his movements strengthened. His pace increased. She bucked against hi
m,
taking in every inch.

The room spun. Her heart drummed a primal beat. Her blood surged with hot passion. His hand roughly fondled her

“
Oh shit

Her words tumbled out louder than expected.

As he plundered her bod

he murmure

“
Come for m

”

She did as he commanded.

Conflicted.

t t t

Yep
. That was what he was right about now. His rock hard cock stood at attentio
n,
demanding relief. When he began down this roa
d,
he hadn’t expected Bell’s body to respond so easily to his touch. Hel
l,
who would’ve thought she would allow him to tie her up? Once he starte
d,
he couldn’t stop until he saw her satisfied. He needed her to want him. And for her to recognize only he could fulfill her desires.

As he saw the dark hand resting on her pale stomac
h,
he remembered she didn’t want him. She asked for Sean. This weakened his hard-o
n,
prompting him to go against his initial plan.
A dash of r
e
a
l
i
t
y was better than a bucket of cold water.

Disappointment shadowed her face as he sat back on his haunches on the bed. Anger caused the vein at his temple to throb. He was once again a plaything of the upper clas
s,
except he didn’t even get paid this time. The muscle in his jaw ticke
d,
as he stared down at her. His body still betrayed hi
m,
his shaft growing harder every time Bell writhed against her bonds.

She stole a look at his membe

a brief shadow of innocence

“
What’s wrong
?
”

“
Why does something have to be wrong
?”
Blood rushed to his coc
k,
when her petite foot slid up his hamstring. He deserved  the ‘Stupid Plan of the Year’ award. Amazingly nimble and stron
g,
she twisted both legs around his waist and yanked him to he

until his shaft

“
You stopped. Men don’t stop when they’re in bed with me
.”
She held a confident smirk on her face.

He wanted to pull bac

but froze when she raised her ass

“
I’m not most me
n
,
”
he managed to mumble.

Logic and instinct warred within him. His body wanted to finish the task he started. His pride didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing she got her way. How was he supposed to think straight with her gliding up and down his cock? She shifted her bod
y,
causing the tip of his head to stop just short of entering her creamy abyss. This move made up his mind. He had to have he
r,
but he would take her on his terms. If she wanted him to fuck he
r,
then it would be as himsel
f,
Xavier.

t t t

She had him on the ropes. His struggle to not take her turned her on even more. But if he didn’t fuck her soo
n,
she would snap the belt in two and take what she wanted. With a little more sexual energ
y,
she would have no trouble breaking her restraints—or the headboard. It really didn’t matter. She had passed the point of no return.

He pinned her to the bed by her hips. The roughness excited her. The feel of the smooth tip of his head pulsing at her opening made her wetter. He spread her legs wid
e,
licked his fingers and thrust two inside her center. Her body eagerly accepted the fullness. The swift movements of his hand taunted and teased. Her core trembled
to
the brink of explosion. As he positioned himsel
f,
he removed his finger
s,
leaving her hungry and void. He held his rod and stroked the tip along her folds. Her body beckoned for him to enter her. She exhaled slightly as he guided his cock insid
e,
releasing her trapped anguish.

“
Tell me you want me
.”
His voice echoed in her head.

He dipped into her se
x,
then quickly pulled out. She attempted to move with hi
m,
not wanting to lose the fullness of him. She started to reach for hi
m,
to pull him clos
e,
desperate to end her suffering. Restricted by her bind
s,
he laid just beyond her reach. She sneered in frustration. To add to her madnes
s,
agai
n,
he barely entered and drew back. She fell back and cursed the bindings keeping her at bay.

He leaned dow
n,
close to her ea
r,
his shaft rubbing her sensitive clit
.“
All you have to do is tell me you want me
.
”

His torture was excruciating
.“
I want yo
u
,
”
she whispered breathlessly.

“
You want who
?
”

If she could get her hands fre
e,
she would slit his throat. The friction of the coo
l,
smooth skin of his cock against her swollen clit sent delicious waves of heat throughout her body
.“
I. Want. You
.
”

“
And who am I
?”
The dangerously feral undercurrent in his voice demanded an answer.

Her will no longer her ow
n,
she submitted to him
.“
Xavier
.
”

A seismic tremor ripped through her body as he buried himself to the hilt in her molten need. As she opened her eye
s,
she realized Sean no longer existed. Xavier was all that remained. The raw lust in the emerald pools glaring down at her floated electric currents over her skin. He bent her legs further back. His next thrust transformed the currents into bolts of lightning. The power of his movements lifted her off the mattress. The leather strap bit angry welts into her wrists.
