"You're a very desirable man, Dr. Culpepper," Leroy stated and began to kiss his throat and slowly moved up to his chin and across his cheek to nibble his ear all the while whispering words of need and intention.
“You, Sheriff are more than I hoped for and everything that I want.” Daniel gasped as Leroy traced the shell of Daniel’s ear with his skillful tongue.
“I love the way you talk.”
"I love the way you kiss." Leroy very deftly removed Daniel's shirt and t-shirt leaving him with only the thin briefs. He stroked the hard member forcing its way out from the narrow waistband and flicked the heated head with the tip of his thumbnail. The erotic moan was more than enough reward. Leroy took Daniel's lips in an explosive kiss just as he reached in and grasped his hard-throbbing cock in a firm grip. The feel of the hot silken flesh in the palm of his hand was exquisite.
Daniel was so close to the edge he knew he wasn’t going to last long. The touch of Leroy’s calloused hand on his sensitive flesh was so intense his breath was catching in his throat. Not that he could breathe regardless considering Leroy was currently devouring him and it was fantastic.
These sensations were new and somewhat excruciating in the way they laid him so bare. He felt a sharp sting where Leroy was kissing his throat and just like that, he was coming all over Leroy’s hand drenching them as stream after stream erupted it was so extreme so powerful that he was shaking as the climax subsided.
Through it, all Leroy kissed him and cherished him, and Daniel was losing his heart to this big guy who seemed to really care what happened to him. The little bite below his ear was an erogenous zone he never knew he had but hope to explore it further.
Leroy reached over and grabbed Daniel’s t-shirt and wiped his hand and then peeled off Daniel’s briefs and cleaned him in a delightful slow and erotic fashion. Daniel felt himself rising again while being handled so attentively and lovingly. Leroy was a special kind of lover, the kind that looked you in the eyes and gave you the experience of your life.
Daniel felt his legs being eased apart and Leroy settling between them the position was so hot and caused Daniel's heart to speed up and his breath to become short pants. In the past, his few sexual partners were only interested in rapid relief and gave no thought to his needs and foreplay was non-existent. With Leroy, every look, touch, and kiss were measured for his maximum pleasure.
He watched while Leroy slipped off his sweats and settled back down, hard hot flesh against hard hot flesh. His gently explorative hands ran the length of Daniel’s body from shoulder to thigh soothing and lulling him into a state of bliss. He imagined himself floating until the moment he felt Leroy’s calloused thumb pressing lightly against his entrance.
Steadily with increasing pressure, the thumb entered and began to stretch the tight muscle preparing him for something much larger. Leroy never stopped kissing him and telling him how perfect he was, and Daniel was eating it up. He began to squeeze Leroy's shoulders as the pressure amplified with the insertion of his index finger.
He reached up with his other hand and removed a small tube from the drawer of the bedside table. Deftly and with little interruption he applied a generous amount of lube to Daniel’s now tender opening. The fingers were many now, and the thrusting and stretching was sending him to a level of bliss that was beyond his experience. Daniel let his hands travel the hard-muscled planes of Leroy's back and arms while keeping with the rhythm of his thrusts.
"I want to make love to you Daniel," Leroy spoke into his ear and bit down slightly causing a thrill to rocket through him. This biting thing was tying him up and wringing him out, and it was incredible.
“Yes.” Just the one word but Daniel looked deep into his smoldering blue eyes and made himself very clear. If Leroy even tried to stop now, he would murder him. He was gifted with that pure panty-melting smile that lit up Leroy's face with mischief and Daniel just wrapped himself up in the warmth of that charm.
Leroy was going to give his chosen the experience of his life. Sex had always been nice but never deep or meaningful. This, right here, was one of the most poignant and moving moments in his life. He would show his chosen what they were and what they could achieve together. They were one in heart and soul, and this union was just the beginning of forever.
CHAPTER SIX
Leroy pulled out a condom and quickly sheathed his throbbing erection and covered it with the lube from his hand. His vampire nature wanted to mark and claim, but he couldn't take advantage of this man who had suffered so much helpless humiliation in the last few hours.
He would wait until Daniel was ready and clear in regard to what it meant before he bonded their souls together for all time. The condom would prevent the bond in the event he lost control and drank from his chosen. Also, Daniel did not present as the type to typically be okay with going bareback and things were happening too fast right now to stop and start explaining.
Daniel lifted his legs and wrapped them around Leroy’s hips and dug his heels in wanting him so desperately to go faster. Leroy had removed his fingers and the emptiness Daniel was feeling had him craving fulfillment, immediately. His cock was pressed to Leroy's abdomen, and the friction was wild against his bare heated flesh. "I need you." He blurted and normally that would have been embarrassing, but in this instance, in his current reckless mindset, it was absolutely called for.
“I’m right here baby.” Leroy crooned as he lined up the head of his cock to Daniel’s channel and slowly pressed inside inch by torturous inch. He held him tight and kissed him hard as he plunged forward burying himself completely before stopping and remaining still for a moment. Daniel felt the pain and then the explosion of pleasure that swamped his system and sensitized every nerve.
The kiss ended as Leroy began a rapid pounding of Daniel's hole filling him, stretching him over and over the delight was mind-numbing and had Daniel's eyes nearly rolling back in his head at the intensity of the act. No one had ever given him this, not even close. He would never forget what it felt like to be wanted, crazy enthusiastically wanted.
Leroy was overcome with the need to claim so buried his head in the crook of Daniel's neck and sunk his teeth in and drank just as he came hard and fast filling the condom to capacity. He felt his chosen react the moment that he was bitten, but it wasn't fear or pain it was a sharp whine followed by an erotic moan and the Leroy felt the warm release filling the spaces between them.
It gave him pride in knowing he had such a powerful effect on Daniel. He extracted his teeth and licked the wound closed before rolling to his side while keeping Daniel secure in his arms. He felt Daniel’s heart racing and his breathing labored and knew he was as touched by their union as he was.
After a few minutes, Leroy gently slid out of his chosen's tight channel and bent to remove and toss the condom in the trash by the bed. He suddenly regretted the decision to wait and wished he'd not used the condom. They would be a bonded couple now if he'd forgone the condom. Rationally he knew that it was not fair to Daniel but in his heart, his vampire heart, he wanted the bond now not later.
“That was so good.” Daniel inadvertently voiced the words in his head. They sounded inane when crossing his lips. Leroy tucked his knuckle under Daniel’s chin and raised his head, so they were looking into each other’s eyes.
"That was pure perfection, you are pure perfection." Daniel blushed but smiled and then pressed his face against Leroy's chest. Leroy laughed softly and wrapped his arms around Daniel, and they just laid there for a while, neither one wanting to break the magic of that moment.
Daniel was the first to speak. “What time are we going to the Crimson Plantation and why did they agree after so many denials?”
Leroy paused for a moment and then rolled to lay partially on top of Daniel and looked down into his eyes in that way that made him believe he was special. It was the way Leroy always looked at him from the very beginning. His fingertips grazed the top of Daniel's cheekbone and just that touch felt so intimate.
"There's a catch," Leroy admitted. He hurried to explain when Daniel's eyes went wide, and he was about to speak. "You can't take pictures or use the information you glean in your new book. This tour is for you and you alone. This is a private showing with a heavy emphasis on private." He watched as Daniel processed his words and came to a conclusion.
“I agree to those stipulations. I understand their desire to remain off the tourist routes and registers. My desire is to see the place, writing about it would be nice but actually seeing the place with my own eyes is my priority right now. If that isn’t possible without a non-disclosure, then I’ll sign.” Leroy was impressed with Daniel’s understanding.
"You can't discuss it with your colleagues," Leroy added to make clear the constraints he would be under.
“Not a problem, my colleagues and I don’t especially get along. They say that they find me too difficult to work with. I really don’t understand it.” Daniel smiled and tried to fake bewilderment as Leroy started laughing and kissed him on the cheek.
The kiss led to more making out until Daniel suddenly asked his question again. “What time are we going to the plantation?”
Leroy rolled to check the clock on the nightstand. “We’re scheduled for two o’clock. That allows us just a little over an hour to pull ourselves together so we should probably get out of bed.” Leroy sat up and moved to the edge of the bed and pulled Daniel along with him.
"You take a shower, and I'll fix you some lunch. Your things haven't been delivered yet so will Anton's clothes be okay?" Leroy asked as he headed for the door with his sweatpants in his hand.
Daniel picked up the cum soaked t-shirt and smiled. “Everything except this.” He laughed.
"Yeah, I'll need to buy him a new one." Thoughts of their time together brought a redness to Daniel's cheeks and Leroy walked back over to him and gave him another deep kiss. "Meet me in the kitchen when you're ready." With that, he left the room closing the door behind him.
Daniel watched him leave and marveled at the beauty of that man's body. He was built like a fucking model, and the rugged beauty of his face and his tough man persona was driving Daniel out of his mind. His thoughts were filled with ways of getting the sex God back in bed. One time with Sheriff Leroy Thibodaux was not enough, he doubted he would ever have enough.
He glanced at the clock and shook off the wanton direction of his thoughts and focused on getting ready. He was touring the Crimson Plantation he needed to keep his mind on that prize. But the handsome Sheriff was never far from his mind. He’d never been this obsessed over a person before, over a project yes, but never a person. Leroy was something special.
Daniel dressed in his borrowed clothes and met Leroy in the kitchen. He was wearing a snug fitting pair of worn jeans and a crisp white button up shirt tucked in at the waist. He looked delicious with his hair still a little wet and curling around his ears. It was adorable and sexy as fuck. Then his eyes captured Daniel’s and all thought except maneuvering a way to get a kiss flew from his mind.
“Come and eat. I made ham and cheese sandwiches and lemonade. I also have coffee ready if you’d like some.” Leroy set everything down in front Daniel who took a seat at the kitchen island. He was dumbfounded by the attention and care of this man he has known for only a few hours but who has also been on hand for some of Daniel’s worst moments.
“How is it that you’re single, Leroy? Why hasn’t someone snapped you up already?” Daniel again spoke his thoughts as he ate his lunch enjoying every bite. Although the very thought of Leroy being with someone else caused a stab of jealousy to surge forward and with it his insecurities. “You’re not seeing anyone are you?”
Leroy laughed and sat down across from him. “No, I’m not seeing anyone and as to your first question. I’m single because I’ve been waiting for the right one. The man that I can spend the rest of my life with, a man that I can love with my whole heart, my whole self. This man will want me just as much as I want him.” That pang of jealousy was surging once again as Daniel thought about Leroy's dream man. He's waiting for 'mister right,’ unfortunately, Daniel was simply 'mister right now.'
“That’s a tall order, Leroy, and I have to admit I’m jealous of whoever he is, but I hope you find him.” Daniel dropped his gaze back to his plate and tried to muster up the appetite he’d had a moment ago, but nothing seemed appealing.
“I already have.” Leroy reached across the counter and laid his hand over Daniel’s. “I don’t make love to every man who comes into my station in the middle of the night in a fluffy robe slinging profanity, only you, baby, only you.”
Okay, Daniel's heart did a full stop, and his breath deserted him. He raised his gaze to Leroy's and saw sincerity there in those electric blue eyes. But how can this be real? Extraordinary things like this didn’t happen to men like Daniel Culpepper. He felt an enormous pull to this man from the beginning but is love at first sight actually possible?
He was about to speak when the doorbell rang. Leroy rounded the island and cupped the back of Daniel’s neck abruptly drawing him near and then took his lips in another kiss that left him tingling down to his toes.
"Finish your lunch, I'll be right back." He said and headed for the front door. Daniel sat there trying to put together the questions he needed to ask, but all he could think of to say when Leroy returned to the kitchen was, "I like you too." It caused Leroy to give him a suffocating hug and another hard and bruising kiss. This was all new territory for Daniel, but he decided to take it as it came and try not to analyze every word every look.
His things had been dropped off by Jarod and Silas, and it was decided that he would go through them when they got back from the Crimson Plantation. He helped Leroy clean up the kitchen and then the headed out to his Jeep. This was what he'd come to Crimson for, to tour the plantation but now that he was on his way, there was a small part of him that would have preferred spending the day alone with Leroy instead.
Never in his life had Daniel ever let anything or anyone come between him and his research goals, but today all he wanted was Leroy. The charming Cajun had managed to push his way to the head of the line. Daniel kept sneaking peeks at the handsome man unable to completely believe that this was real life.
“You keep looking at me like that and I’m going to have to pull over and have my way with you.” Leroy teased.
“Have your way?” Daniel looked at him from the corner of his eye.
“Oh, don’t get uppity with me Mr. Historian. You were enjoying yourself well enough this morning.” Leroy laughed when Daniel’s face turned a bright red and he turned to stare out the side window. Leroy reached over and took Daniel’s hand and brought it over to his knee.
“Keep it there, baby. I cannot get enough of your touch.” Daniel continued to blush, but he didn’t move his hand and actually began to scoot closer as much as his seatbelt would allow.
Daniel was lightening up, and it was a joy to watch. Leroy just hoped that nothing happened at the plantation to cause his chosen any sort of discomfort or upset. There was a lot that lay ahead for Daniel, but he was a steady, intelligent and broad thinker, he would come to accept and understand.
Leroy had tasted him twice, and Daniel had not complained or questioned. He enjoyed their intimacy every part of it. They'd only been together a few hours now, but Leroy felt as if he'd known Daniel for ages. Their fit was perfect just as Fate had designed it.
Leroy pulled into the long drive that would lead to the front gates of the plantation. He glanced over to Daniel and noticed that he appeared deep in thought.
“What’s got you thinking so hard, baby?”
“Why did they agree to let me see the plantation? With everything that has happened to me since Sunday, suddenly I feel flooded with a sense of apprehension. The closer we get to the plantation the more I get the feeling that my perceptions, understandings, and beliefs are about to be challenged. Yet I am so powerfully drawn to this property and to you I might add, that I c
ouldn’t turn back now even if I were being led off a cliff.” Daniel looked terribly burdened by his own train of thought. Leroy wanted to put his mind at ease but was at a loss how much he could share and what would be believed at this time.
Leroy pulled over to the shoulder of the road and parked. He turned in his seat to regard Daniel directly while keeping his hand over Daniel’s which remained on his knee throughout. “What’s going on here.” He motioned back and forth between them for clarity. “What we have is separate from what’s out there.” He pointed down the road towards the plantation.
"I messaged Alexander Stone regarding the break-in of your hotel room and he said he'd look into it. I then followed that up with a request for you to tour the plantation." Leroy reached up and smoothed the wild curls out of Daniel's eyes. "There is nothing illegal going on at the plantation their desire for secrecy stems from personal issues which I cannot discuss with you right now. I assured him you would agree to not publish what you see. I thought if you actually saw the place, you'd realize there was nothing sinister going on."
“So, it was Crimson who broke into my room and took my things?” Daniel asked.
“Probably but it wasn’t sanctioned by Alexander Stone and your things, have been returned.” Leroy was stepping lightly not wanting to lie to his chosen but also not allowed to share too much information.
"It was a rogue operator?" Daniel cocked an eyebrow at Leroy. "A rogue operator by the name of Cullen Volakis?" He added with disdain.
“Possibly, but there is no proof.” Leroy fell back into Sheriff mode.
"Thank you for being honest with me, Leroy. Now I'm ready to see this fucking place, and it had better knock my socks right off, or I'm going to be sorely disappointed." Daniel flashed him a relieved smile and Leroy ate it up.
