Ride the Wave

28

My hand slid down her hip and dipped between her thighs, finding her wet and pulsing for me. I stroked her once and she widened her legs in response, while her fingers curled into my shirt like she was trying to stop me from pulling away. I wanted to tell her there was no chance of that, but my mouth was devouring hers and my fingers were exploring the silky, swollen folds she’d offered to me.

When I glided into that tight wet heat, she let out a moan against my lips. Her thighs tightened, trapping my hand between them, while I slid in and out of her slowly. With my other hand I held her up, knowing her knees would be weak when I was through with her. I slipped another finger inside and rubbed her c**t at the same time, feeling her tense around me. Knowing how close she was already encouraged me to move faster and deeper, forcing her to rock her hips in time with my movements, her arms tightening around my neck for support. She cried out my name into my mouth as the c****x swept over her, her body turning to liquid against me.

I slowly removed my fingers and held her until she could stand on her own again. “Told you I was good with my hands.”

“You weren’t kidding.” Her eyes were dazed as she closed her robe and tied it.

I took her hand in mine. “Let’s find this bonding room.”

The hallway and the great room were both empty, much to my relief. The hour must be late, though it was hard to tell deep below the ocean, where sunlight couldn’t reach. I certainly wasn’t tired—no, my body was full of energy, the same rush I got when I was about to slit someone’s throat from the shadows or leap into a fight. The anticipation only made what was coming even sweeter.

The door to the bonding room opened easily at my touch. The first thing I saw was the floor-to-ceiling opening to the ocean on one side. The dome must end right there because fish swam just outside, and we could almost reach out and touch them. Coral and seaweed lined the ocean floor, and I caught a glimpse of an eel poking its head out of some rocks.

A raised path led from the door to a large bed, and around this platform was a shallow pool of water, only knee-high. The pool’s floor was covered in shining seashells that caught the flickering candlelight around the room.

“It’s beautiful,” Kira whispered.

One of the other guys would have told her she was even more beautiful or something, but I wasn’t good at this romance crap. I’d never had a real relationship. I hated talking about my feelings. And s*x? s*x was always for a purpose. Making money. Getting information. Relieving stress. Never for love.

Until now.

I grabbed Kira around the waist, feeling her curves under that thin robe, and picked her up, wrapping her legs around me. She let out an excited laugh, then settled into my arms as I carried her to the bed. I set her down on her back and grabbed her wrists, pinning them to the bed. I loomed over her body, caging her in, giving her no way to escape.

“Now you’re mine,” I said.

She looked up at me with open desire and complete trust. “What are you going to do with me?”

Her robe had fallen open and I raked my eyes down her body. “Everything.”

My gaze lingered on her full breasts and narrow hips, before dipping down to that triangle between her legs, already wet from my touch. Damn, she was stunning. Why had I resisted her so long?

That was over now. She was impossible to resist, and I was done trying to fight it.

Still holding her wrists, I bent my head to those perfect round breasts and flicked my tongue across her hard n****e. She arched her back in response, begging for more, and I sucked one of those dark buds into my mouth. The soft moan from her lips turned me on even more, as did the taste of her. I’d never considered myself a lucky man, but I was starting to change my mind about that.

I worshipped each breast until she was begging and writhing under me, desperate for more. An overwhelming need to be inside her took over, and I released her wrists so I could tear off my clothes. Her eager fingers reached up to help me, her eyes hungry as I removed my shirt and tossed it aside. The rest of my clothes hit the floor, and then I moved over her again.

“I never thought this moment would come,” she said, as she gazed up at me.

The intensity of her eyes was too much. She wrecked me, and I was going to fall apart if she kept that up. The urge to claim her as my own grew too strong to ignore, and I couldn’t wait a second longer. I grabbed her waist and flipped her over onto her stomach, making her gasp. I yanked her hips up so they were level with mine, and then I rammed myself deep inside.

She let out the most beautiful scream I’d ever heard as I filled her from behind, the sound echoing throughout the room. I grit my teeth at the feel of her tight, damp heat. My hand wrapped around her thick red hair, tugging her head back, forcing me deeper inside. I arched over her to press my lips to her neck, and she trembled under my touch.

“I have a secret,” I said into her ear, as I held her there. Not moving yet, just enjoying the feel of her body squeezed tight around my c**k.

“Only one?”

I nipped at her shoulder. “I think you know all the rest by now.”

“Tell me,” she said, her voice husky.

“I’ve never done this before with anyone I actually cared about.”
