Velvet Steel (12 page)

“Thank you, Noah. This is…” She waved her arm around. “This is amazing. No one has ever gone to so much trouble for me before.”

“They should have.” Shane stepped forward and took her hand. “You deserve to be spoiled.”

A stab of jealousy ripped through Noah’s core. He wasn’t sure where it was directed. Did he feel jealous that Shane seemed to show a lot of interest in Kitty, or was it because he had developed strong feelings for her and wanted her for himself? Maybe it was a little of both. He bit back a curse and moved over to the camera.

Shane dropped Kitty’s hand. “What are you doing?”

Noah looked up from the lens and saw both Kitty and Shane staring at him. “I’m adjusting the lens. It’s out of focus, and the angle has to be just right or we won’t see anything.”

“I’ll take care of that.” Shane crossed the room toward him.

Noah hesitated. “This is old and outdated equipment. I just wanted to make sure that—”

“I said I’d take care of that.” Shane stepped between Noah and the camera.

“What’s gotten into you?” Noah whispered as Shane looked through the lens. “I thought you wanted to be with Kitty.”

“I do.” He straightened and rested his hand on Noah’s shoulder. “But I meant what I said back there. I want you to go first.”

Noah looked into Shane’s soft green eyes. “What? You always go first.”

“Not this time.” Shane glanced back at Kitty. “I want to watch you enjoy her.” He turned to Kitty. “Is it okay if Noah goes first?”

Kitty looked up from where she was running her hand across the smooth sheet. “Of course.” She shrugged out of her top.

Noah stared at her for a moment, dumbstruck. She was beautiful, more beautiful than he ever thought a woman could be. He watched as she slid out of her pants and then moved to unfasten her bra. His mouth went dry. Noah hadn’t felt like this since he was a schoolboy. Being with her, knowing Shane was watching him, made his skin hot and his cock swell. It was better than being with a woman, better than being with a man. It was the best of both worlds.

Shane slapped him on the backside. “You better go to her.”

Noah dragged his gaze back to Shane. “Are you sure?”

Shane shifted his hand on the camera and ran his fingers over Noah’s knuckles. The touch was soft and intimate and made Noah hard all over. “You need this, Noah. I can tell. Let me work the camera for a while and go have some fun.”

Noah swallowed the lump in his throat. Shane was right, he did need this, but Noah was used to playing on the sidelines to Shane’s intense personality. He wasn’t even sure he could please Kitty without Shane’s help. “But—”

“Scoot.” Before Noah could react, Shane had looked back into the lens, effectively dismissing him.

“Is there a problem?” Kitty asked.

“No problem, love.” Noah turned to face her. She had completely removed her clothes and sat in the middle of the bed, snuggled underneath the sheets. He moistened his lips as he studied the outline of her curves under the covers. It was like Christmas, and soon he’d be unwrapping the best present imaginable.

Shane was right; he did need this. Kitty was a gorgeous enigma to him. How could he have such strong feelings for her and yet still feel a deep longing for Shane? Was it possible to crave two people at the same time?

She patted the space next to her. “You coming?”

“Of course.” He began to strip, all the while watching her gaze flick over his body as he removed each piece of clothing. Shane’s touch might have gotten him hard, but Kitty’s needy gaze
kept
him hard. He crawled into bed next to her.

“Do you like what you see?” he asked.

“Very much.” She reached up and cupped his cheek. “There’s no need to be afraid.”

Noah snorted. “I’ve done this many times, sweetheart. I’m not afraid.”

“Then neither am I.” She lowered her hand.

“Good.” He captured her lips in a soft, gentle kiss. It was meant to test her, to rediscover her taste and let their bodies adjust to each other, but as Noah nipped and laved her lips, a sense of urgency overcame him. He tilted his head and coaxed her mouth open, eager to taste more of her sweetness. She sighed and reached up to thread her fingers through his hair. Then she leaned back on the pillows and opened herself to him.

Noah kissed her long and deep, running his tongue over every inch of her mouth. She tasted divine.

“Ah shit, Noah. That’s good.”

Noah broke away from the kiss and gave Shane a hard stare. Shane popped his head up from behind the lens and offered a quirky smile. “Just lose the sheets and pretend I’m not here.”

Knowing Shane was watching them, that he approved, just made the whole experience more erotic for Noah. “Not a problem.” He turned back to Kitty, suddenly unsure. He wanted this, but only if she was willing. Kissing him in front of Shane was one thing, but having Shane watching them have sex was something else entirely. Since they would be recording the encounter, anyone would be able to watch them at any time. Did she realize what she was getting herself into? He needed to know—no, needed to hear—that she wanted this as much as he did. “Are you sure you want to go through with this?”

“I want you, Noah, more than anything.” She motioned toward the camera. “I think it’s kind of exciting.”

Noah had to admit he did too. Having the camera on them, having Shane watch them, made him feel powerful. Her words, however, touched a chord deep inside. Shane had never told him that he wanted him. Kitty, on the other hand, was free with her words, and Noah kind of liked hearing he was desirable.

He tossed the covers off their torsos and cradled Kitty’s head. “You’ll be perfect,” he murmured low enough so only she could hear.

Her eyes shone bright with moisture. “You’ll be perfect too.”

Noah kissed her again, this time using more pressure. Kitty returned in kind, her sweet tongue lapping the inside of his mouth with eagerness. She wrapped both arms around his neck and pulled him close. He pressed tightly against her skin, enjoying how her curves cushioned his hard body. She felt amazing, soft and yielding. Desire rose up and gripped him, tightening all the muscles in his lower abdomen.

When he tore away from her lips, he was breathless. “I want you,” he whispered.

She threw her leg over his hips. “I want you too.”

There it was, those words again. They were like music to his ears. Noah closed his eyes as he let the sound of her voice vibrate through his soul. He was desirable; he was needed. The knowledge was better than sex, better than anything anyone could give him.

He opened his eyes, a renewed purpose running through his veins. Kitty had given him a wonderful gift, even if she didn’t know it. Now he wanted to return the favor.

“Noah, the sheet,” Shane said.

Noah rolled Kitty onto her back and threw off the sheet from the waist down. The camera could see all of them now, how their bodies pressed close, how his erection jutted against her thigh and her breasts pushed against his chest. Fire erupted in his abdomen; it brought forth a need so deep that he groaned against the force of it.

He kissed her jaw and neck, then began a long, slow trail down her chest. He paused at her breasts and ran his tongue along the canal between them. She shivered and threaded her fingers through his hair. He made a low, hungry noise as he kissed a path across her left breast, forcing himself to remain slow and steady to build in her the need he suddenly felt. He lowered himself so his lips could hover above her nipple. He cradled her torso, then ran his tongue over her sensitive tip.

Kitty groaned and tightened her fingers in his hair. He did it again and again, each time taking careful note of the way her body wiggled, how her fingers scraped against his scalp.

“Stop teasing.”

He looked up from her chest. “Make me.” Before she could retort, he took her tight nipple between his teeth and nipped.

She gasped and withdrew her hands. “Oh God, that’s good.” She slid her arms over her head and grabbed the fabric draped along the headboard. He took her nipple with his mouth once more, this time using his lips and tongue to wipe away any lingering pain she might have.

She was so responsive and soft. Noah felt as if he could lose himself in her forever.

Kitty lifted her legs and rested them on his lower back. “Please.”

“Come on, love,” Noah joked. “You can beg better than that.” He moved over to the other breast and repeated the same sweet torture. First he licked and enjoyed how her fingers curled around the bed frame; then he nipped and watched her arch beneath his fingers. He soothed the spot he’d hurt with his mouth, fully enthralled with the woman before him. As he toyed with her nipple, he removed one hand from her hips and slowly moved it down her body. He unhooked leg and placed her foot back on the bed. She whimpered in protest, but he nipped her again, and her retort was lost in a groan. He removed the other leg and set the foot on the bed. Then he leaned back and took a look at his work.

Kitty’s legs were open, and Noah could see where moisture had begun to build between her folds. It was a good start but not nearly enough for the morning of lovemaking he and Shane had planned.

“That’s perfect, Noah.” Shane’s voice carried over him like a caress. “You have real talent.”

Noah glanced up and met Shane’s dark, hungry gaze. “I haven’t even begun to use my talents.” He cupped her smooth, round ass and lifted her hips from the bed. Then he bent low and ran his tongue along her slit. She tasted so wonderful that Noah almost came right then and there. He tried to mentally pull himself back as he heard Kitty whisper his name. She seemed vulnerable in his hands. He licked her again, running a slow, smooth line between her folds.

Suddenly Noah heard the rustle of fabric behind him, then a groan. He risked a glance over his shoulder and saw Shane had completely undressed and was holding his cock in his hand. Noah started to say something, then stopped, enthralled with how Shane was moving his fingers over his shaft. Shane’s gaze focused on Noah, a slow smile spreading over his lips as he stroked himself from root to tip. Noah had no idea that his actions with Kitty had made Shane so aroused. The knowledge only added to the erotic tension in the room and made Noah crave both Shane and Kitty more.

“Do you need help?” Shane asked.

Noah wanted to torture Shane for a while, let him see what he was missing by not acknowledging their attraction toward one another. “I don’t need you yet, but soon.”

Noah turned back to the woman before him. He shifted so that he supported Kitty with one hand, then opened her folds with his fingers. Her sweet scent surrounded him, and he ran his tongue in between her folds.

Kitty turned her head to the side and pressed her shoulder blades into the mattress. A low, throaty sound passed over her lips. Noah stopped at the small nub at the top. He took it between his lips and flicked it with his tongue. She wiggled her hips as she whimpered his name. He smiled, then repeated the torture, once, twice; the third time, he slipped a finger into her slit.

Kitty’s gasp echoed throughout the room. He repeated the movements, and she tried to press her hips closer to his mouth. Again and again he tortured her, eventually adding two fingers, then three. With each stroke, Kitty’s moans became louder, her thrashing more urgent.

Noah watched her through a hooded gaze. Every one of his senses focused in on the woman before him—her taste, her scent, the sounds of her cries. Each time she seemed to calm down, he’d adjust his fingers and her torture would begin anew. Noah’s body drew taut with desire, and he resisted the urge to reach down and ease the throbbing ache. From behind he heard Shane’s moans of pleasure, his voice adding to the excitement and anticipation.

When he sensed Kitty was close, he shifted his fingers and nipped her nub. The combination of pleasure and pain sent her over the edge. He watched as she shivered and cried out his name. Moisture flowed freely from her pussy, and he drank it like a starving man. He slowed his movements but continued thrusting in hopes of drawing out her pleasure. When her shudders and cries finally ceased, he lowered her onto the mattress and retreated.

“Wow,” she said as she let go of the fabric.

“We’re not done yet.” Noah crawled up the bed and stretched out beside her.

“No?”

He glanced at Shane. Need poured through Noah’s body as he dropped his gaze to his partner’s large, thick cock.

“No, lass.” Shane’s gaze turned to Noah. “Now I think it’s our turn.”

Noah forced his gaze back to Kitty. Desire rocked his body to the core. Shane was right; sharing women in their past had been good, but sharing Kitty was better.
She
was better. His cock ached at the thought of penetrating that softness and branding her as his. “You think we deserve a turn, don’t you?”

“Of course.” Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she touched his cheek. “You deserve many turns.”

Noah leaned forward and captured her lips once more. It felt natural to touch her, almost like her body was meant for him. A deep, primal longing surged through him, and he forced himself to stop the kiss.

“What?” she asked.

Never breaking eye contact, he got up and stood at the side of the bed. “Come here.”

Realization lit her eyes. Kitty got up on all fours and crawled over to Noah. “I think I know what you have in mind.”

“Do you?” He moistened his lips. Noah had a lot of things on his mind, all of them involving the lovely woman before him.

She bent forward and flicked her tongue over the tip of his cock, causing him to groan. “Yeah, I do.” She grabbed the base of his shaft and stroked it slowly from root to tip. Noah shivered. Her fingers felt delicate, yet they gripped him hard. Their gazes locked as she moved her hand up and down his shaft. Slowly she stuck out her tongue and ran it over his sensitive head. He shuddered as she dipped underneath the tip and licked the long vein hidden there.

His breath caught as she made her way back to the tip. A knowing smile broke over her lips as she repeated the motion, drawing a small bead of moisture from his cock.

“What do we have here?” She shifted her gaze to the drop and smiled. Noah bit his lower lip and grasped her shoulders as she took his head into her tight, wet mouth.
