Chapter 9

Tsavo West, Mombasa

Cora

A hot mess was what I was. Last evening in Julian's room I'd surprised him with my mouth and he'd liked it very much, but before we forgot about our bet I'd come to my senses and made my escape. Of course, I left him satisfied and hopefully wanting more. Why did I not succumb? We were going to combust together and I needed him as much as he seemed to need me.

"Cora, are we done here or do you need to see more?" Julian had silently approached me and put his hand on the small of my back.

"No, no, I'm good." I stuttered and my stupid body betrayed me again. His touch was like an electric current. The caress was enough to communicate directly to my core and I clenched my thighs.

"Let's get moving then." His hand traveled farther down. "Or are you lost in a daydream, my love?" The voice came out as a low whisper as he leaned in and kissed my neck discreetly. I retreated and backed away from him before I did something stupid like maul him in the middle of the schoolyard. School was over for the day, but public displays of affection weren't my thing. It was our last stop and finally I had received some information that proved my theory. This school and a neighboring one had been promised funds for books and additional staff but they had yet to receive it. The headmaster had willingly shown me the email correspondences and also dared to forward me the documentation. He would contact his colleague at the other school and ask for permission to use their school as another example.

"I believe it's been a very successful day." I was tired but happy. If only my stupid pride would allow me to accept the pleasure right in front of me. All day long he'd teased me, touched me and whispered sweet nothings to me. I was so wound up and practically ready to climb him, but I controlled myself. He was purposefully riling me up to lose the bet.

"Princess," he said when we'd reached the car, "I've got a surprise for you tomorrow morning. We have to leave at five-thirty."

"What plan are you cooking now, Julian?" I wasn't so fond of surprises.

"Wait and see. It will be quite the experience." He held the door open for me and I got a whiff of aftershave as I passed him. I inhaled slowly, letting out a deep breath. The motion didn't go unnoticed and he swallowed a laugh.

"You think you're so irresistible," I shot back at him before he closed the door. Once again he sat next to me in the back seat instead of riding shotgun.

"I know I am, and it's only a matter of time." He grabbed my hand and led it to his lips. The touch made me sigh and yes, he was indeed impossible to resist. We rode back in silence and I let him caress my hand. "Ready to give up and give in."

"It certainly is what you want me to do, right?” I replied drily and was seriously contemplating handing him the win.

The drive back was short and all three of us were tired after a long day.

"I'm going to get room service and call it a night," I trumped him. If he thought he was going to exasperate me more today, he was so very wrong.

“Okay. See you tomorrow, princess. Remember, we leave half an hour earlier in the morning."

"Goodnight, guys." I waved to them and left for a night in my own company.

After dinner I took a soothing bath. I poured calming lavender-scented oil in the water and rested my head on the edge of the tub. What would happen if I came back knocking on his door tonight? I was afraid of heights and he was somehow going to make me confront my fear if I lost the bet. That was for sure, but I did know that I trusted him. What was the worst that could happen? I would lose a bet but gain so much more.

First the bath, and by then maybe I would have worked up the courage to come to him.

With my fingers, I pinched my n****e floating above the water. I tried the heavy weight of my breasts and squeezed lightly, imagining it was Julian's hands on me. My legs fell apart and I leisurely dipped my hand lower under the water, searching for my needy c**t. What was I doing? Instead of touching myself I could have him all night long. Determined, I got up so fast that the water sloshed around me. I hastily dried my body and hair, found a light dress and omitted the underwear because I was on a mission.

"Flip-flops, flip-flops, where are you?" I chanted. On the way out of the door, I grabbed the chilled bottle of white wine I'd ordered with my dinner but only had one glass.

Before I lost my nerve I scurried to his door, hoping he had already returned from dinner. I knocked and waited for what seemed like an eternity.

"Cora!" he exclaimed, surprised as he struggled with a T-shirt over his head.

"I need help," I returned and walked past him, "and you won't be needing the T-shirt.” He had opened the door in only boxer shorts.

"Okay, what can I do for you, princess?" Slowly he closed the distance between us. He took the bottle from me and placed it on the coffee table.

"Did I interrupt you?" I gazed around the room. His bedsheets were tousled and he looked a bit disheveled.

"Not at all, just resting and watching a flick. I'm dying to hear what I can help you with.”

Fortunately I hadn't lost my bravado. Casually I reached for the hem of my dress and discarded the scrap of fabric. "I'm losing the bet and I don't care, so do me; take me; make me come a million times. I need you."

The cat was out and I was completely naked in the middle of his bedroom. He sank visibly and my eyes flew to his crotch, where an impressive erection was trying to escape the confines of the thin material.

"f**k, Cora. I hadn't seen that coming. You're unbelievable." He pushed down his underwear and his hard-on sprang free. I moved closer to him and reached for his length and began to lower myself. "No f*****g way are you blowing me before you've come - what did you say? - a million times. I want to be balls deep in you when I release. Tonight you are mine."

"Kiss me, Julian; I need you now. You've teased me all day; now I need you to put action behind all those words." His mouth crashed down on mine and I relaxed into him. The kiss was from the start deep and hard. We expressed all our pent-up frustration by licking, biting, tasting and surrendering to our mutual pleasure.

"On the bed, now. I need to taste you, lick you till you can't take it anymore."

Without argument, I silently complied.

"Princess, you're a sight. You have no idea all the things I want to do to you."

"Show me please,” I exhaled in a raspy voice.

He made room between my legs and licked the slick folds of my core.

"Ohhh," I exclaimed loudly. Julian paused and replaced his mouth with a finger circling my c**t.

"What made you change your mind, beautiful?" He looked up at me with hooded eyes so full of desire I nearly combusted.

"I was bathing and about to touch myself and suddenly the bet felt silly. Knowing you were right next door and as into me as I'm into you." He didn't stop his teasing of my c**t and I sensed the orgasm ready to break. "I will come if you continue like this." My words were barely audible as I gave in to the feeling.

"Enjoy it, Cora. I'm thrilled you came to me and I want to make you come many more times before I f**k you into the night."

"What are you waiting for, Julian? I'm ready."

"One, Cora. You can start counting now."

"Onnnnneeeee," I screamed as the first waves of climax hit me. He'd made me come with only his fingers on me.

"Are you ready for the next one?" He inserted first one, then two digits into me and pumped lazily in and out. "Lean back and let me take you to another world again." His mouth crashed down on my c**t and his tongue licked right on the center of my needy little peak.

I will effing come again. What are you, a c**t magician? I wondered as I let him strum me like a guitar. He was my master and I was his puppet. "Please, I want you inside me when I come. Don't let me wait, please." The words had barely escaped my lips as the second orgasm ripped through me.

"Two, Cora, two." He laughed a smug laugh, but I didn't care. His hair was a mess from my hands running through it. The lips were red from his ministrations and body a sin of tight muscles. "Now, I will f**k you until you come a third time. Ready, my love?"

"I can't move and I'm making you do all the hard work."

"This is payback from last night where you left me spent and satisfied but without a possibility to return the favor." He up and left the bed. "Will only be a second. We need a condom."

I sighed happily and waited for his return. That man was going to be the death of me, but what a way to go.

When he returned, he'd already suited up. His hard-on was long and proud. I couldn't wait to get my hands on him again. I'd loved blowing him last night until he couldn't hold back and had come down my throat.

"What's going on in that pretty head of yours?"

"Just thinking about licking you until you come,” I teased and spread my legs for him as he crawled back into bed.

"f**k yeah, Cora. Your mouth is one big sin. Give it to me." He leaned down and sealed his lips to mine. My tongue devoured his and I was greedy for more. I circled my legs around his waist, wanting him to come closer. In one swift motion he buried his c**k deep in me and I was suddenly so full I could barely breathe. "You're so tight, baby. Give me a second. I don't want to blow before you come."

I patted his back and strangled a laugh.

"What was that? You think I'm funny?" He looked at me with a smile smirking on his beautiful face.

"No, but this is fun. Move Julian, please. I need to feel you."

He started moving as per my request: slowly first, but he picked up the pace when he felt that he hit the right spot deep inside me. It was only a matter of seconds before I succumbed to moon and stars. My third orgasm sent me over the edge. In the distance I heard him groan out his release.

"Princess, are you alive?" he whispered and caressed my face tenderly.

"Mmm," I returned drowsily.

"I need to get rid of this." He withdrew, and I felt empty without him inside me. I dozed off because the next time I woke up, Julian was spooning me from behind and sleeping.

A girl could get used to falling asleep like this.
