Smiling, Sidney’s eyes roamed from his neatly trimmed beard, to the tattoos on his muscular arms, to the bulge between his legs. All he had on was a pair of boxer briefs, and they clung to him in all the right places.
His thighs were also muscular, and she could see them flexing in her mind as she imagined him up on his knees between her legs, pounding into her. Blushing, Sidney tried to get control of her libido. She wasn’t like Nora. Didn’t lust over every good-looking man she saw. But there was something about Decker that pushed all her buttons.
It wasn’t only that he was a fine specimen of manhood, there was no doubt he was gorgeous. It was more that she knew the kind of man he was inside. Brave. Considerate. Protective. It all blended together to make him absolutely irresistible.
Rubbing her legs together, Sidney realized she was wet. She might’ve been embarrassed in any other situation, but not with Decker.
“Like what you see?”
Sidney jumped and her gaze whipped up to Decker’s face. His eyes were open and he was smiling at her.
“Oh. Hi.” She tried to play it off. No such luck.
One of his hands covered hers on his stomach, holding it in place. “Because I’ll tell you that I’m loving what I’m seeing right now.” His eyes went from her face, to her chest, and down to her bare legs. “That shirt never looked so good on me.”
Sidney propped herself up on an elbow and licked her lips nervously. “You really aren’t mad that I raided your drawers?”
“Anytime you want to raid my drawers, go right ahead.”
The sexual innuendo in his reply was impossible to ignore. Sidney knew she was blushing, but didn’t pull away. She just stared down at him.
“How do you feel?” he asked.
“Fine.”
“No headache?”
“No.”
“Your stomach isn’t queasy?”
“No, I’m good. I never get hungover for some reason.”
“Good.” Then, without warning, Decker pounced.
Sidney found herself on her back with Decker hovering over her before she could even blink. She gripped his biceps and opened her legs when he settled over her. Her shirt had ridden up slightly, and his cock came to rest between her thighs.
She swallowed hard and stared up at him.
“You remember last night?” he asked.
Sidney nodded.
“All of it?”
“Yeah.”
“You gonna freak out? Back off?”
She shook her head.
“Good. Because as far as I’m concerned, we crossed a line last night. You opened up to me and told me shit that you haven’t told hardly anyone else. Am I right?”
“Yes.”
“I can’t do anything without thinking about you. I see someone walking their dog and it makes me wonder what you’re doing. I hear Rocco talking about Caite, and it reminds me that I haven’t texted you in a while. I look around this bedroom and see how far it has to go before it’s done, and I think about how you’d probably have it completed in a heartbeat. You’ve somehow made your way so deep into my subconscious, there doesn’t seem to be a minute that goes by when I’m not thinking about talking to you or wishing you were with me.”
“Decker…” Sidney protested.
“Last night, I was disappointed that I would have to wait an additional five or six hours to see you, but when I pulled up to my house and saw your car here, everything inside me breathed a sigh of relief. I slept better than I have in ages because you were by my side. I don’t care that our relationship has been fast. I don’t care what anyone else says or thinks. I need you, Sid.”
With every word out of his mouth, Sidney’s heart melted further. He could just be saying these things to get her to sleep with him, but she didn’t think so. And she felt the exact same way. She hadn’t ever really noticed military guys before. She knew they were there, but they didn’t register. Now, every time she saw a navy bumper sticker, she thought about Decker. When she saw a guy in a store in his navy uniform, she thought about Decker. Hell, when she saw a cute guy with a beard, she thought about Decker.
He was always on her mind, as much as he claimed she was on his.
And she couldn’t deny that she felt safer in his arms. But when she woke up and saw him kneeling beside her last night, everything in her relaxed. He was home. Safe and unhurt. It felt as if she could take a full breath for the first time in eight days.
“I need you too,” she told him, meeting his gaze as she said it.
“Thank God,” he breathed before dropping his head.
Sidney didn’t worry about morning breath or anything else. All she could think about was getting Decker inside her.
His head slanted, and he took her mouth as if he couldn’t stand one more second without her. They went from lazy morning to fiery inferno in seconds. Sidney lifted one leg and wrapped it around his hip as he devoured her mouth. His cock hardened against her core, and she felt herself dampen even more.
His hands went to her waist, and Sidney arched her back to help him remove the shirt she was wearing. He pulled back from her mouth just long enough to rip the material over her head, then he was back. Nipping at her lips and plunging his tongue inside.
Groaning, Sidney could only hang on for dear life as his every action ramped up her libido. When his hands closed on her breasts and his fingers zeroed in on her nipples, pinching lightly, she grabbed hold of his ass cheeks and squeezed…hard.
His head lifted and he stared down at her. They were both breathing raggedly, and Sidney noticed his pupils were dilated and his cheeks were flushed.
“I’m not sure I can go slow,” he warned.
“Then it’s a good thing I don’t want slow,” she returned, licking her lips and tasting him on them.
And with that, Decker shifted over her, crawling down her body.
Sidney tried to tug him back up, but he was relentless. He stopped to worship her nipples for just a moment, and the feel of his lips, tongue, and teeth on her sensitive buds made her back arch and a growl of impatience escape from between her lips. His beard scratching against her skin made the moment all the more erotic.
She felt him smile against her, then he was settling between her legs.
For a second, Sidney was embarrassed. It had been a very long time since anyone had gone down on her, and she couldn’t remember when she’d last trimmed herself down there. But then his mouth was on her, and she ignored everything but the feel of his tongue lapping at her.
“God, Decker!”
“You taste amazing,” he murmured. “I want more.”
Then he attacked her.
There was no other word for it. His hands gripped her thighs, pushing them as far apart as he could get them, and he buried his face between her legs. He alternated licking between her folds and sucking her labia into his mouth. Sidney had never experienced anything like Decker going down on her, and knew she’d never be the same after this morning.
He hiked one of her legs over his shoulder and pressed the other to the mattress. She was splayed open and could actually feel her excitement leaking from her body.
“So fucking beautiful,” he murmured, looking up at her.
Sidney could see her juices shining on his beard. It was carnal and obscene at the same time, but she couldn’t look away from him. He licked his lips and smiled at her. “Hold on, Sid.”
She opened her mouth to reply but didn’t get the chance as he lowered his mouth and suckled on her clit.
Screeching in ecstasy, Sidney couldn’t think. His tongue lashed against her sensitive bud as one finger slid inside her soaking-wet body. The hair from his beard brushed against her folds and her thighs, making her aware of him in a whole new way. Sidney couldn’t control her hips, thrusting upward as he finger-fucked her.
She had no idea how he was able to keep his mouth on her clit with all the squirming and bucking she was doing, but somehow he managed it. His tongue was like a motor
against her clit, flicking and rubbing, never stopping, like the freaking Energizer bunny.
“Decker!” she exclaimed as she felt herself getting closer and closer to losing it.
As if he knew, he increased the speed of his finger inside her, adding another. Sidney’s thighs shook and her stomach muscles tightened in preparation for an orgasm.
Then he twisted his hand, changing the angle of his fingers inside her, and his middle finger brushed over something that made Sidney freeze.
“Oh, God,” she breathed as he did it again. Was that her G-spot? She had no idea, but nothing in her life had ever felt as good as whatever he was doing to her at that moment. He latched onto her clit and sucked the same time he caressed that special spot inside her, and Sidney exploded into a million pieces.
She had no idea what she said or did in that moment, all she knew was that the orgasm he’d pulled from her was almost painful in its intensity. She was breathing hard, as if she’d run a marathon, and was having a difficult time getting her muscles to obey the messages her brain was sending them.
The next thing she knew, Decker was hovering over her, a condom already on, holding her hips in his hands as he prepared to take her.
The look on his face was as intense as she’d ever seen it. Generally, Decker was a pretty easygoing man. Quick to smile and with a joke. But at the moment, she imagined this was what he’d look like on the job. Intense and with a single-minded focused. Every muscle in his body was tight, and between her thighs, she felt the tip of his cock brush against her absolutely soaked folds.
“Sid?” he bit out between clenched teeth. “Say yes.”
Looking up at him, Sidney realized he was serious. That if she pushed him away, or wasn’t sure about this, he would absolutely back off and not fuck her.
And that was unacceptable. After that monster orgasm, she seemed to need him even more.
“Yes,” she breathed.
The same time she lifted her hips, he slammed inside her.
They both inhaled sharply and Sidney couldn’t take her gaze from his. Without breaking eye contact, Decker pulled out of her body, then thrust back in. Hard.
He took her that way, pounding into her fast. And Sidney loved every second. She was the first one to break eye contact, her eyes roaming down his body, marveling that this amazing, beautiful man was making love to her.
Her.
Suddenly needing to touch him, Sidney moved her hands to his chest and caressed his skin. When he inhaled sharply as her fingers brushed his nipples, she did it again. Then she pinched them lightly as he continued to pound into her.
“Holy fuck,” he breathed as he took her.
Sidney smiled. She’d never had a sexual encounter like this. Decker was almost desperate, and she loved it. She clenched her inner muscles when he pulled out the next time and reveled in the way he groaned.
“So tight,” he muttered. “So wet.”
That was definitely true. The sounds his cock was making as he hammered in and out of her were carnal and almost obscene, but she couldn’t make herself care.
When one of his hands moved between their bodies and began to rub her clit once more, she jolted in his grasp.
“Oh, yeah…you like that,” Decker said with a smile in his eyes.
“Duh,” she breathed.
“I’m close,” he informed her. “But I’d love it if you came around my cock.”
She wanted that too. She’d never been the kind of woman who had multiple orgasms, but Decker seemed to know exactly what she needed in order to get her there. His thumb gathered some of the wetness between them and he aggressively rubbed her clit.
Throwing her head back, Sidney gasped at the pleasure that coursed through her body. He wasn’t being gentle. Wasn’t trying to patiently coax a response from her. He was demanding it. Forcing it. She’d never felt anything like it, and couldn’t stop her body from doing exactly what Decker wanted it to.
Her legs once more began to shake, and she tried to pull away from his touch. “Too much,” she managed to say, but Decker ignored her.
He pressed harder against her clit, his hips slapping loudly against her flesh as he fucked her. “Come, Sid. For God’s sake, come!”
And she did.
Her inner muscles fluttered and gripped his cock as he powered in and out of her while she spasmed. Groaning, he shoved himself as far inside her as he could get and threw his head back.
Even in the midst of her own orgasm, Sidney reveled in the beauty of the man above her as he exploded. The cords of muscles in his neck stood out, and he went as still as a statue above her as he lost it.
He stayed like that for a heartbeat, before letting out a long, loud groan. Then he collapsed, making sure he didn’t crush her, landing on his side and pulling her close. He turned until she was lying on top of him, still connected. They were both breathing fast and were damp with sweat.
Sex with Decker had been messy and intense. He’d done just as he’d said and taken her hard and fast. And it had been glorious.
Every muscle in her body hurt, but in a good way.
Good God, if he made love to her that way every time, she’d never survive.
Neither said anything for a long moment, reveling in the closeness their lovemaking had forged.
“Did I hurt you?” Decker eventually whispered.
“Took me apart piece by piece then sent me flying, yes. Hurt me? No.”
She felt more than heard his chuckle, with her cheek lying on his chest.
“That was the most beautiful experience of my life,” he said softly. “Thank you.”
“I think that’s my line,” Sidney quipped.
She felt him hug her, then his cock slipped out of her body. They both moaned. Sidney lifted her head. “Thank you for putting on a condom. I was too out of it to even ask.”
Decker shook his head. “I’d never put you at risk. I know we should’ve had the birth control conversation before things went this far, but honestly, the second I tasted you, I was a goner. I’m clean, Sid. It’s been a long time since I’ve been with anyone, and I get tested regularly for my job.”
She appreciated him letting her know, but a part of her, deep inside, already suspected that. “I am too. Clean, that is. I haven’t been tested, but it’s been at least a year since I’ve been with a guy. I can go down to the free clinic and do it to make sure though.”
Decker shook his head. “Not necessary. Birth control?”
It was her turn to shake her head. “I tried the pills for a while, but they made me really sick.”
He nodded. “Condoms it is then. If you want to try out another form of birth control, we can, but I’m not willing to let you do anything that hurts you.”
Sidney’s heart melted once again. “Condoms aren’t foolproof,” she felt obligated to say.
Decker shrugged. “We’ll be careful.”
She lifted her head and rested her chin on his chest and eyed him. “That’s it?”
He smiled at her. “Yeah. I’ve always wanted kids. I hadn’t planned on having them anytime soon, but then again, I hadn’t met you yet either.”
Sidney wasn’t all that fired up about having children. Period. She’d had an up-close-and-personal experience with nature versus nurture. She and Brian hadn’t been raised any differently, but he’d turned out to be a serial killer. With her luck, and DNA, she’d have a child who turned out the same as her brother.
“Stop worrying,” Decker scolded. “I just had the most memorable orgasm I’ve ever experienced in my life, got to eat out my girl, and I’m exhausted.”
Shaking her head, Sidney rolled her eyes. “You are such a guy.”
“Yup,” he agreed. Then belying his claims of being exhausted, he sat up with Sidney still in his arms.
She screeched and straddled him. The wetness between her thighs was almost embarrassing, but she clung to him and didn’t let go, even when he stood up and headed for the bathroom.
“Unti
l the bathroom gets remodeled, sharing a shower won’t be too exciting, but we need to check on Hannah, let her out, make some breakfast, and get on with our day.”
Loving how easily he carried her around, Sidney asked, “What are your plans?”
“To spend time with you,” he said immediately. “After we get back from a mission, we typically have a day or two of downtime.” He placed her ass on the counter next to the sink in the bathroom. Resting his hands on either side of her hips, he trapped her in place as he asked, “That okay?”
Sidney immediately nodded. She ran her hands up his sides and looked at him, getting the full picture of a naked Decker for the first time. His cock was semi-hard and still encased in the used condom. As she stared at him, his dick flexed and began to grow.
“Seriously?” she asked.
Shrugging, Decker smiled and reached down and removed the condom. He opened the cabinet beneath the sink and threw it in the trash before resuming his earlier position. “I think I’m pretty much hard around you all the time.”
“How did this happen?” she asked, more to herself than to Decker. But he answered her anyway.
“Fate,” he said without an ounce of self-consciousness.
She couldn’t really argue with that.
“Ready to shower?” Decker asked.
“With you? Definitely.”
He helped her down off the counter and pointed to a drawer. “There’s a new toothbrush in there. Got it the last time I went to the dentist and never switched my old one out.” Then he faced the shower/tub combo and leaned over to turn on the water.
Sidney couldn’t take her eyes off his ass. It was whiter than the rest of his body and the sight made her grin.
“Stop ogling me, woman,” Decker complained without turning around.
The smile still in place, Sidney pulled open the drawer and pulled out the toothbrush and got to work brushing her teeth. Decker came up beside her and did the same. They shared the single sink and when they were done, he took her face in his hands and leaned close.
The kiss they shared was slow and sweet. But it felt very different, since they were both naked as the days they were born.
