Temptation (Club Destiny)

by Edwards, Nicole

  After spending several hours with Susan, getting a feel for the woman’s personality as well as her likes and dislikes, Sierra came up with a design she hoped the lawyer would be happy with. The woman was multifaceted and after their first meeting, Sierra had left feeling a little out of sorts. Eccentric was another adjective Sierra would use to describe Susan, but not out loud. Based on what she knew of the hard working attorney, Susan wouldn’t appreciate it.

  As she waited patiently, trying not to eavesdrop on the call, she wondered how Susan would react. This wasn’t a new experience for Sierra, but she couldn’t deny the fact that she was nervous. She was just grateful she hadn’t had much time to dwell on this meeting after what had happened the night before with Luke. Sierra hadn’t been able to think of much other than what had transpired between the two of them during the early morning hours.

  Knowing she had gotten in over her head, Sierra had reluctantly called Cole before Luke had woken, asking if he could come and pick her up. That was a decision she had contemplated long and hard before actually dialing, but with no one else to turn to, she had ended up making the call.

  Thankfully he hadn’t asked any questions when he came to get her, nor when he dropped her at Logan’s so she could pick up her car. She’d quickly thanked him and hurried out of his truck, feeling out of sorts. After everything that happened between her and Cole in Vegas and the way he had so easily written her off when they returned, the few minutes they had been in his truck had been awkward.

  She’d felt incredibly guilty asking Cole to come get her, knowing she couldn’t look him in the eye ever again. Though their time in Vegas had been special to her, and an experience she would never forget, Sierra couldn’t deny the overwhelming satisfaction when she had had Luke all to herself. The way he devoted every touch, every kiss to only her, Sierra found herself wanting him all to herself.

  As much as she hoped he felt the same way about her, needing only her, Sierra wasn’t naïve enough to believe that to be the case. Hence her reason for sneaking out of his house at the break of dawn. If she could walk away with the memories of last night, without having to endure Luke’s rejection again, Sierra might be able to remain in one piece. Doubtful, but she was holding on to that thread of hope.

  “Thanks for waiting.” Susan said anxiously, placing the cell phone down on her desk and interrupting Sierra’s wayward thoughts.

  “No problem.” Sierra smiled, hoping to mask the emotion she knew had been written all over her face.

  “What have you got for me?” Susan asked, getting right to the point, her tone a little more harsh than Sierra expected. During their initial conversations, Susan had been almost sweet. Apparently that was her I just met you, and I want you to like me persona because Sierra definitely wasn’t getting that vibe from the woman now.

  Grateful for the distraction, Sierra spent the next two hours with the successful Dallas lawyer, going over plans and designs and making changes. Lots and lots of changes. So much so, by the end of the meeting, the design no longer resembled anything Sierra would have come up with. Susan hadn’t even agreed to one single compromise. When she finally conceded to what Susan wanted, Sierra was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to go home and slide into a hot bath.

  As she drove the short distance back to her house, Sierra couldn’t help but wonder what Luke was doing at that very moment. Part of her hoped he would call and give her hell for walking out on him. Instead, she figured he’d probably been thankful that he didn’t have to let her down easy.

  She had to fight the tears that threatened to fall, realizing she was much too emotional to play these little games and reinforcing the fact that she couldn’t handle casual sex. Which was frustrating as hell because here she was, independent, successful, and she’d even give herself credit for being intelligent, but let her emotions get the best of her and she was just a mess.

  When she turned down her street, trying to rein in her emotions, Sierra noticed a familiar truck parked in her driveway. By the time she managed to pull her car alongside it, her heart was pounding in her chest. Hope had her chest expanding, her palms sweating as she shut off the engine and slowly climbed out of the car.

  Luke was making his way around the big Chevy when she reached the small walkway that would lead to her front door. She was tongue tied, unable to say a word as she took him in. Wearing a white button down shirt, untucked and unbuttoned at the throat, with the sleeves rolled up past his thick, ropey forearms, Sierra had never seen the man look more mouthwateringly sexy than he did right then.

  “Invite me in, Sierra.” Luke growled, and Sierra knew he wasn’t making a request. She could feel the fury radiating from him, and for the life of her, she didn’t know why it turned her on so damn much.

  Rather than say anything, her mouth was too dry to speak anyway, she made her way up the short walkway, unlocked the door and then managed to take two steps inside before she found herself pressed up against the wall, and Luke’s imposing body pressed against her.

  She inhaled sharply as their eyes met, the hunger she detected in the light hazel depths sending a sharp bolt of heat between her thighs.

  “You walked out on me this morning.”

  Sierra knew better than to say anything. What could she say? She had walked out on him, and by the looks of it Luke was none too happy with her. Part of her wanted to be defiant and taunt him, but the hard lines on his face said he wasn’t in the mood to argue.

  She wouldn’t win anyway. Her resolve was nothing when it came to Luke McCoy.

  Chapter Eighteen

  ~~ ** ~~ ** ~~ ** ~~

  When Luke pressed a hard thigh between her legs, Sierra restrained her immediate need to grind down on him. When he gripped her wrists in one of his big hands and lifted her hands above her head, she somehow managed to hold back a moan.

  God he felt good against her; the solid thud of his heart beating in his chest was evident even through the soft white cotton. He was just as affected by their nearness as she was, but Sierra was hanging on by a thread and he knew it.

  His mouth hovered just above hers and Sierra was tempted to run her tongue over his lips just to taste him. Instead she squeezed her lips together to keep from giving in.

  “I think you need to be punished.” Luke’s voice was a dark, provocative grumble that, along with his warm breath fanning her face, had goose bumps forming on her flesh.

  Oh yes, she couldn’t argue with that. She only wondered what he had in mind.

  Before she could say anything, Luke lifted her up and tossed her over his shoulder, similar to the way he had the night before when he had taken her outside to the pool. The only difference was this time they were both fully clothed. Hopefully not for long.

  Since he had never been to her house before, Sierra was surprised when he headed toward her bedroom. He couldn’t have known where it was, although her house wasn’t very big, so it wasn’t that hard to navigate.

  Once inside the room, Sierra half expected him to toss her on the bed. Instead he slowly slid her back down until her feet touched the floor. Knowing better than to try to back away from him, Sierra anticipated his next move; only what he did next took her completely by surprise.

  He pulled over the hard back chair she kept against the wall, and he sat down easily, his eyes still locked on her. She followed his every move, her body throbbing with need while the shrill sound of warning bells started going off in her brain. He didn’t look all too happy. Strangely, she wasn’t scared of what he would do; she was more worried about what he wouldn’t do.

  “Take off your panties.” He ordered, and Sierra fought to process his words.

  The long flowing skirt she wore nearly touched the floor, and for the first time that day, she wished she had worn pants. She loved the black and white gauzy material and the way it brushed against her legs when she moved, but she never thought about how vulnerable she was no matter what she was wearing when she was around Luke.

  He wou
ldn’t get any argument from her. At least not yet anyway. She lifted the soft, lightweight fabric until she could slip her hands underneath and remove the now damp fabric that covered her sex. She eased her panties down her legs and stepped out of them, leaving them on the floor behind her. Her belly fluttered with arousal while her hands began to tremble.

  “Lift the skirt and come here.” He instructed.

  Luke’s husky, thunderous voice reverberated through her, a shiver starting at the base of her spine and creeping up slowly until the hair on the nape of her neck tingled. Once again she lifted the material that hung to the floor until she exposed her legs up to mid-thigh.

  “Higher.” He sounded impatient now, and Sierra saw the intensity in those sexy, bedroom eyes.

  She did as he said, lifting the material to her waist, baring herself to him completely.

  “Now come here.”

  Sierra took a hesitant step forward, then another until she was standing directly in front of him.

  “Let me see how wet you are. Show me.” Luke’s eyes darted upward, meeting her gaze and then back down as he waited for her to do as she was told.

  Sierra had yet to say a single word to the man, and she found she could hardly focus on her next breath, much less any coherent thought. Using her index and middle finger on her right hand while still holding her skirt with her left, Sierra separated the bare, wet folds of her pussy, watching Luke as he focused intently on her fingers. The heat that spiraled low and fierce matched what she saw in his eyes, and Sierra felt empowered, if only briefly.

  When he lifted a hand, one finger coming forward to slide over her clit, Sierra thought she might just crumble to the ground. He quickly flicked her clit, and then pulled his hand back before pulling her down across his lap. Startled, she yelped as she found herself lying across his lap, humiliation coursing through her.

  “Damn that’s beautiful.” Luke’s voice boomed through the room as one calloused hand caressed her bare bottom.

  Oh, God. What was he going to do? Sierra tried to move, tried to get out of his grip, but his other hand came down to rest on her back, effectively holding her in place. His hard thighs pressed against her stomach while she gripped the side of his leg to hold herself up.

  “Luke!” Sierra screamed his name as his hand came down on her bare ass, a burning sensation shooting down her legs.

  “Spread your legs.”

  Sierra could barely focus on his words, but then his hand came down again, harder this time, stinging her ass.

  “Now.”

  Now what? Sierra didn’t know what he wanted her to do. She tried to think, tried to comprehend what he had said, but the pain and humiliation consumed her. Another hard smack landed and Sierra sobbed.

  “Open them.”

  Sierra instinctively spread her legs, hoping that was what he wanted her to do. Another slap landed on her ass, but before the pain could register, Luke buried one long, thick finger inside of her and an orgasm unlike anything she had ever known ripped through her, her entire body held together by the magnitude of that single pulse radiating outward from between her legs.

  As she came back down from the sensual high, Luke slipped his finger from the depths of her pussy and Sierra fought to hold her upper body up, all of her strength zapped from the intensity of that one orgasm.

  Somehow, Luke managed to lift her without Sierra needing to use her legs and then she was placed face down across the bed. Her body was still in shock from the intense pain and the mind numbing orgasm, so she barely registered her skirt slowly sliding down her legs. Her energy was so depleted she couldn’t move a muscle, but Sierra felt the throb between her legs intensify. That one orgasm was only a prelude to what was to come, she knew, and despite the fact that Luke had just spanked her – yes, the man had spanked her – Sierra longed for more.

  Without any help from her, Luke managed to remove the rest of her clothes and Sierra remained lying face down on the mattress, her head turned to one side as her body tried to recover from the intensity of her climax. She thought about trying to turn over, but then Luke took one foot in his big, strong hand, kneading the arch and eliciting another groan from her.

  ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

  “Do you think you’ve learned your lesson?” Luke asked, not expecting Sierra to answer him.

  He was impressed when she sighed a “yes”, though still not moving a muscle. At least she remembered his demand for her to answer him whenever he questioned her.

  Since the moment he stepped foot into her house, Luke had been overcome with the need to teach her a lesson for walking out on him that morning. The desire to spank her sweet ass had made his dick throb hard and insistent for the last two hours until he couldn’t take it anymore. He’d driven straight from the club to her house, not knowing whether she would be home or not.

  When he arrived, she hadn’t been there, so he had decided to wait her out. Unsure how long he would have to wait, he was pleasantly surprised when she pulled down the road only a few minutes later.

  The mere sight of her caused his heart to beat double time, his cock throbbing just as insistently. With the hunger barely restrained, Luke managed to appear as civilized as possible while standing on her front lawn. Once inside the house, he hadn’t been able to contain that need any longer.

  Looking at her now, lying naked and sated on her bed, Luke had so much more in store for her. Her beautiful ass was bright pink from his hand, and although he wanted to spank her again, just to make sure she learned her lesson, he wanted to explore her entire body with his tongue more.

  “That didn’t sound very convincing, Sierra.”

  Luke moved his hands up over her calf, then up the soft skin of her thigh, continuing to massage her. He managed to avoid the temptation between her legs and moved back down her other leg until he was once again massaging her foot.

  He continued the sensual assault, teasing her when he reached the top of her thighs but never delving into the depths of where he knew she wanted him.

  Lifting her left leg, Luke placed a soft kiss to the bottom of her foot, then to her heel, then allowed his tongue to trail up over the back of her calf until he reached the sensitive spot behind her knee. Just as he expected, Sierra began to writhe against the bed.

  “Be patient, baby.” Luke said as he trailed more kisses up the back of her smooth thigh until he reached the sexy, rounded globe of her ass.

  He spread her legs further apart, allowing his tongue to tease the heated flesh he had reddened only moments before. He nipped her with his teeth and then soothed the sting with his tongue. Shifting slightly, Luke spread her legs a little wider, then parted her cheeks with his hands until he could easily slide his tongue down the crack of her ass, teasing her relentlessly until she nearly came up off of the bed. He darted his tongue inside of her, reaming her ass while she moaned and screamed his name, her body once again tensing beneath him. He wanted to bury his dick inside of her tight ass, but he hadn’t come prepared to take her there, so he had to settle with tongue fucking her for now.

  When her body loosened up, she began to thrust backward against his tongue, and Luke knew what she wanted. Without lubrication he would hurt her, but he could still fuck her sweet, hot pussy. Pushing up off of the bed, Luke went to remove his clothes, and when Sierra began to turn over, he ordered her to remain still.

  “Don’t move from that position.”

  Sierra dropped back down, once again grinding against the mattress and Luke knew what she needed. The same thing he did. He needed to feel her velvety, hot pussy sheath him. Within seconds he’d shed his shoes, jeans, boxers, and shirt and was back on top of her, spreading her thighs so he could ease between them.

  “Up on your knees.” Lifting her hips, Luke placed a hand between her shoulder blades, situating her just the way he wanted her. At this angle he could thrust deep and hard.

  “Luke! Please!”

  Luke’s cock jerked in his hand, her demand making him harder than he thou
ght possible. Positioning his cock at her entrance, he slid the head through her slick folds before sliding in easily only to pull back. When she tried to thrust backward, Luke gripped her hips and growled.

  “Don’t move.”

  This was part of her punishment. He wanted her to burn with the need, to remember the desperation she felt until he fucked her the way she wanted. Sliding in slowly once more, he retreated, pulling out until only the head of his cock penetrated her. Sierra once again tried to force him inside of her and he brought a hand down on her ass, the sound reverberating through the room.

  “I said don’t move.” This time she listened, and Luke gripped her hips, shifting her a little so he could slide in once more.

  When he was satisfied that she wouldn’t move, he increased his pace, her soft, sensual moans floating in the air, the smell of her arousal permeating his senses and making him hungry for more of her. Pulling out again, Luke slid one finger into her pussy, using her juices as lubrication before he slid his cock back inside her warm, wet heat. He then plunged his finger into her ass, as he began to thrust fast and hard, recognizing his own need to come was barreling in on him.

  How he managed to maintain a rhythm was beyond him, but Luke thrust his finger in her ass while driving his cock deep inside of her until she screamed his name and her internal muscles clamped onto his cock, his balls drawing up tighter as a rocket of sensation started at the base of his spine and shot through him.

  “Fuck!” Luke growled out his release as he shot his seed deep inside of Sierra before crumbling to the bed, shifting his weight so he didn’t crush her.

  He had no idea how much time had passed, nor did he care, as he laid beside Sierra, holding her against his chest, her deep, even breaths signifying she had fallen asleep. Luke fought the overwhelming urge to close his eyes. He didn’t want to fall asleep, didn’t want this moment to end. After waking up that morning, alone in his bed, Luke didn’t want to ever go to sleep if it meant he would wake up without this woman by his side.
