Ari slipped her arms around Jason’s neck and focused on kissing him back. With a hungry groan, Jason inched their bodies back deeper into the suite. This suite was different from hers. It was larger, and contained a lot of equipment. Jason navigated her around the paint cans and carpenter’s tools, over to the ladders in the far corner. As they moved, he slid his hands around her waist and grabbed her backside, holding her to him. When she bumped into one of the ladders, he broke away from her lips and began to kiss a hot trail along her jaw and neck.
“Jason…” His mouth felt hot and urgent against her skin. Desire flowed through her veins, and she found it difficult to think. “Jason…”
“Shh…” he whispered as he tugged on her shirt, pulling it free from her skirt. Before she could respond, he palmed her breast, and excitement rippled through her core.
She tilted her head back and gave herself over to the moment as he nibbled along the sensitive skin of her neck. Jason leaned back and slid her blouse up over her head, then kissed her as he tossed it to the side. Ari slipped her hands around to his chest and fumbled with his buttons as he unhooked her bra and flicked it to the floor.
“When are the workers coming back?” she asked.
“You worry too much,” he said. “Live in the moment.”
It was so easy to just do as he asked of her. Outside the room, they each had their own problems and issues, but here … here they each had a reprieve from the real world. Here, there was no family feud, no reporters, and no responsibility. They could just have fun.
While she wanted to push Jason into telling her what was troubling him, she could understand his point. By telling her about his business, they’d cross that line in their relationship, and they could no longer be each other’s sanctuary. Things would turn from fun to serious, and Ari wasn’t sure if she was willing to lose what they shared to satisfy their curiosity.
She undid the last button and slid his shirt off his shoulders. “I want to,” she whispered as she ran her fingertips over his hard muscles.
“Prove it,” he said as he ran his thumbs over her nipples, sending spirals of desire through her veins. “Give yourself over to me, Ari. Enjoy the moment.”
He bent his head down and Ari gasped as he took her taut nipple into his mouth. Ari threaded her fingers into his hair as Jason nipped her tip, then ran his tongue in circles over the sensitive tissue. Again and again he tortured her body, mixing pleasure and pain until her mind fogged with lust.
“I want to feel you,” she whispered. “Jason—”
“You will. Be patient.” He leaned back and removed her skirt, until she was wearing nothing but her purple panties and her black heels. “God, you’re so beautiful.”
She reached for his belt. “Your turn.”
He leaned back and watched her as she removed his pants. As the belt came undone, she dropped to her knees and slid the fabric down his legs. His boxers soon followed, and Ari slipped her fingers along his shaft, stroking him from root to tip.
“Ari…”
She held his gaze as she wrapped her lips around his swollen head and slowly slid his cock into her mouth.
He ran his fingers through her hair, pushing it from her face. Ari moved slowly, pushing down until the tip of his erection bumped the back of her throat before retreating. Again and again she repeated the movements, until Jason’s breathing quickened and his fingers tightened around her head.
“God, Ari…”
She slipped him from her mouth, then ran her tongue along the sensitive underside of his shaft. Jason closed his eyes and groaned, losing himself in the moment. Ari felt powerful and desired. Being with Jason was like a drug. He always made her feel special. As she eased her tongue down his shaft and slipped it around his balls, she watched him tilt his head back in bliss. Knowing that she was the one who brought him pleasure, that it was her, not anyone else, who could bring him to his knees, was a heady feeling. As Ari retreated and then repeated the movements again, Jason tightened his grip on her hair. It hurt, but only slightly. She knew that he was clinging desperately to his control, and she wondered if she could make him lose it completely.
“Stop.” Jason’s word was gentle but commanding as she finished her third trip down and back up his shaft.
“I don’t want to,” she teased as she flicked her tongue over the tip of his cock.
“Ah, but it’s my turn.” Jason drew her up onto her feet and eased her back onto the ladder. She stumbled, stepping up once before settling on one of the rungs.
“Jason…”
“Shh.” He spread open her legs and knelt before her. “Like I said, it’s my turn.” He knelt before her and ran his fingertips over her inner thighs.
“Yes…” She spread open her legs, allowing him better access.
“Hang on, sweetheart,” he whispered. “It’s going to be a bumpy ride.”
Before she could ask what he meant, he placed his lips on her thigh, creating a tingle of sensation along her skin. Using his teeth and tongue, he kissed a trail of need up her thigh, inching closer and closer to the place she needed him to be.
The scent of her desire rose up, becoming stronger with each passing second. She wanted him, needed him. When she reached forward to grab his hair and direct him toward her center, he withdrew and grabbed her wrists.
“I said hang on,” he said as he placed her palms on the sides of the ladder above her head. “Now lean back.”
He rubbed his palms against her nipples, then gently pushed her back until she was leaning against the ladder for support. The metal frame wobbled with the movement, and for a second she felt as if she was going to tip over.
“Relax,” Jason said as he brushed his fingers down her sides. “You won’t fall. Stop worrying and enjoy the moment.” He dipped his head between her legs and resumed his torture.
“Jason…” She leaned her head against one of the rungs and watched the top of his head as he moved closer to her center. She wanted to touch him, to hold him close and force him to pleasure her, but didn’t dare move. He wanted her to stop overthinking, and she was going to do just that.
Jason pulled back and rested her knee on his shoulder, then repeated his sensual exploration on the other thigh, driving her mad with desire. Ari groaned and squirmed, but didn’t touch him, and never asked for more. When he finally placed her leg over his other shoulder, she almost wept with relief.
“Please…” She hated begging, but she felt so needy.
He straightened and leaned forward, kissing a trail up her abdomen and then laving each breast in turn. “I could do this all night,” he whispered against her skin.
Ari whimpered. She didn’t know if she’d last five minutes, let alone all night.
“Focus on my mouth,” he said in between nips of her breast. “And how it makes you feel.”
“Jason…”
“Tell me what you want.” He cradled her breasts in his hands and squeezed.
She forced herself to meet his gaze. “I want you.”
“You want me to … what?” He ran his fingers down her abdomen and back down to her thighs. “Don’t overthink it, just tell me.”
“I want you to kiss me.” She spread her legs farther apart. “Here.”
Ari watched him as he dipped his head between her thighs once more and ran his tongue over her folds. She gasped, then wiggled, trying to get closer to his devilish tongue.
“Oh my God.” She gripped the ladder tighter as he licked and laved, always circling around her opening, but never entering. Ari raised her legs higher in the air, hoping that he’d take the hint. Instead of entering her, he slid his tongue up and rubbed her clit, causing pleasure to burst through her system.
“Louder,” he whispered. “I want to hear you when you come.”
“But the workers…”
“Aren’t here. No one is here but us.” He rubbed her clit again. This time Ari groaned louder.
“More,” he commanded as he moved back down to her
slit. “I want to hear more.” He shifted his hands and rubbed her clit in a circular motion with his thumb as he slid the tip of his tongue just inside her opening.
“Yes.” She leaned her head back on the ladder. “Yes.”
“Louder.” Jason used his free hand to spread apart her folds, pushing her underwear to the side. He dipped his tongue into her opening, teasing her sensitive tissues.
“Oh, God.” She gripped the ladder tighter. “That feels so good.”
He licked harder, plunging his tongue deep. Ari slid to the edge of the rung, wanting more. The ladder shifted, and her head knocked against the wooden plank above her head. She barely noticed the bump as Jason switched places with his tongue and fingers, driving her pleasure higher.
“I’m going to come,” she said as he pushed two fingers into her core. God, he felt so good. Ari closed her eyes and leaned her head back as she began the familiar race toward oblivion. “Faster.”
Jason quickened his movements, pushing three fingers into her center as he rubbed his tongue over her clit.
Ari curled her legs around the sides of the ladder and inched forward on the rung. The movement caused it to sway precariously to the side. Adrenaline shot up through her system as Jason steadied the ladder, then went right back to his assault on her body.
“Yes.” She inched back and forth on the rung, pumping in time to his fingers. Higher and higher she soared and with each stroke, she cried out for more.
Jason moved quicker, plunged harder, until Ari was hovering on the edge of something vast and wonderful.
“Jason, please…”
He leaned forward and scraped his teeth against her nipple. The blast of pain vibrated through her body, triggering her orgasm. Ari cried out his name as joy poured through every crevice and pore. Again and again, he tended to her, stretching out her orgasm for what seemed like days. Bliss wrapped around her body, and tears of happiness stung her eyes. Never before had she felt anything so wonderful.
When the last threads of her orgasm faded away, Jason eased back and glanced up at the plank situated between the two ladders.
“But it’s not stable,” she said, glancing at the wood. “I’m not sure if it would even hold us.”
“What did I say about worrying?” Jason asked.
She turned back to him. “Don’t do it?”
He motioned to the wood. “I’ll take care of you.”
She started to take off her heels, but Jason stopped her. “No,” he gently commanded. “Leave them on.”
“But I can’t climb a ladder in these.”
“I’ll help. You can do this.”
She stared at him for a long moment, then turned around and climbed the ladder up to the top. She stared at the wood beyond, unsure.
“Go on.” He patted her ass. “Just crawl on out there. I’ll do the rest.”
She glanced over her shoulder and saw the excitement in his eyes. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she climbed up onto the thick plank of wood and crawled until she was halfway between the two ladders.
“Stop.” He slipped his hands over her ass. “God, you look so beautiful.” He trailed his fingers over her back and shoulder, stimulating her skin. His touch felt so good, so right. As he eased his fingers back down to her ass, she started to feel more sure of herself.
“Get down on your elbows.”
She did as she was told. Jason slipped his fingers in between her ass cheeks and rubbed the opening in her backside. “We’re going to try something new.”
“Jason—”
He slipped an object out of his pocket and before Ari realized it, something warm and wet was sliding between her cheeks.
“What’s that?”
“Oil. It makes things more … pleasurable. I have been carrying it around for a few days now, looking for an excuse to try it.”
She was about to ask what he meant, but then his finger returned. Jason slid it around her opening once more. This time it moved much quicker. Ari groaned and arched her back as he inched his finger into her backside.
Ari gasped at the intrusion, then moaned as her body began to adjust. Jason retreated a fraction of an inch, then pressed once more, amplifying her pleasure.
Back and forth, in and out, slowly Jason worked his way into her body until his entire finger was in her backside.
“How does that feel?”
“Strange. Good.” While he had toyed with the rim of her opening before, Jason had never entered her so deep from behind. She was surprised to find the intrusion so stimulating.
“It’s only going to get better.” He retreated and thrust a few times, allowing her body to get used to the sensation. Then he repeated the same process with two fingers. Each time he thrust, Ari’s muscles stretched, causing her to moan with delight. Each time he retreated, she whimpered at the loss of sensation. By the time he had thrust two fingers all the way inside her body, Ari was ready for more.
“Jason…”
“Easy. Hold as still as you can. I don’t want these ladders to tip over.” He positioned his cock in between her ass cheeks.
“Jason…” She gripped the edges of the wide plank as Jason eased himself into her backside. It didn’t hurt like she’d thought it would. The pleasant stretching sensation filled her core, making her mind blank with need.
“How does that feel?” he asked after his hips pushed flush with her backside.
“Incredible.” She leaned back and wiggled her hips. “Do it again.”
“Vixen.” He lightly slapped her hip, then retreated and repeated his movements.
The sensation was … amazing. Better than anything she had ever felt before. As he advanced and retreated, Ari closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of being full, wanting him deeper.
“You’re going too slow.” Ari moved back as he thrust, causing their bodies to come together with a loud slap. The ladder wobbled, but remained upright.
“Ari, you’re going to kill me.” Jason put his hands on her hips. “Hold still.”
She tried to remain motionless, really tried, but he felt so good. As he performed shallow thrusts, Ari moved her torso against him, causing him to push harder than he intended.
The plank wobbled from side to side, but she was too wrapped up in the moment to care. What started out as quick, shallow movements became longer, harder. Ari curled her fingers into the wood and made soft, feminine noises as their bodies came together.
“Harder,” she commanded.
He put a hand on her shoulder to steady himself and pushed hard, inching her forward. The plank moved a fraction, but remained mostly upright.
Again and again he entered her, driving her desire higher. Her voice rose with each thrust, blending with Jason’s into an erotic chorus. The plank tipped more to one side, and Jason started to slow down.
“No,” she begged. “Don’t stop.” What they were doing was dangerous, but it made everything more exciting. Adrenaline mixed with her desire, causing her entire body to burn with need.
He resumed his thrusts, each one harder than the last. Back and forth the ladders swayed, causing another bolt of adrenaline to shoot through her core.
“Yes,” she cried as the tension rose higher. “Harder.”
Jason groaned as he thrust himself inside her once more. “I’m close.”
Ari climbed higher and higher. The world around her faded away as she focused on the swaying of the plank, and the burst of movement from behind. Faster and faster their bodies came together, until Jason reached around her hips and found her clit.
“Oh my God.” The ladders rattled from side to side as Ari cried out Jason’s name. Pleasure exploded through her body, wrapping around her muscles and filling her mind. She closed her eyes and soaked up the moment, enjoying the connectedness she felt with the man behind her.
Jason’s thrusts quickened and his grip became harder. Once, twice, on the third time he shuddered and called out her name as he emptied himself deep inside of her body.
/> The moment was beautiful. Magical. Ari hung on to the pleasure as tightly as she could, loving how connected she felt to the man behind her.
After a long moment, Jason retreated and wrapped his arm around her waist. Ari noticed that his breathing was ragged, as if he had just finished a marathon. “Follow me. I’ve got you.”
Carefully, he eased her off the plank and down the ladder to the floor. As soon as Ari’s feet hit the bottom, he turned her around and kissed her hard. Ari’s mind blanked as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close.
“That was incredible,” he whispered after the kiss was over. “I didn’t know it could be that good.”
He chuckled as he broke contact and picked up her clothes. “Here. We should probably do that sweep of your room and head out.”
Ari knew that he was right, but couldn’t help feeling that once again he had avoided the vulnerability and nakedness of the afterglow. Something amazing had happened between them. She knew it had affected him, and his moving on as if nothing had happened between them left her feeling adrift.
She glanced at his outstretched hand, not quite ready to leave just yet. “It sure looks as if you put a lot of work into this room.”
Jason glanced around them. “I’m renovating all of the honeymoon suites in all of my hotels to offer the latest in technology and luxury.”
“Doesn’t look very luxurious to me,” she joked.
“That’s because it isn’t finished yet. It’ll have a full bar here.” He pointed to one corner of the room. “And a Jacuzzi here.” He strode over to the other side of the room. “We’re expanding here to make a large balcony where we will place a bed for stargazing and a fire pit.” He waved his hand over to the window. “Everything will be remote controlled.”
“Really?”
He nodded. “People can already check out and check in through a computer. I’m working on software now so people can order room service, make arrangements in the city, do virtually anything they want from their room without ever interacting with another human being.”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
“It’s the perfect vacation.”
“Perfect? I don’t know. When I go on vacation, I want to meet new people, not escape them.”
