I can't stop thinking about Delia's sad, woeful eyes the last time she kisses me, just before stepping out of my truck. Don't have a damned clue when I'll ever set eyes on her again, or that huge, lonely mansion.
I need to keep my distance. Even if it turns my stomach to know I'll never feel her warm, wet heat wrapped around me again.
The next day, I watch the smoke contrails roaring overhead. My SEAL team hits the shore first, and it's a live chemical drill. The whole world turns stuffy, gray, and blurry behind my Nuclear-Biological-Chemical mask.
I'm yelling through the dummy rounds exploding, martialing recruits ashore, while the rest of the boys do their damnedest to give us a taste of what Dear Leader's got waiting for us if we have to wreck his pretty toys.
The drill runs for hours. We plant our explosive charges on the dummy rocket sites, and watch from a high hill as the shit billows up, sending thick black smoke into the air. The choppers come roaring in when it's over, and we pile into them like ants after honey, lifting off into the smoky sky.
There's a strange thud in my chest, a sickly feeling that has nothing to do with the imminent danger we're about to face from the latest geo-political inferno.
Why does it feel like everything inside me goes up in the blaze? I can't get Delia out of my head. Not even when ninety percent of my focus is on the drill, the mission, everything I've been trained to do to keep the red, white, and blue flying free.
It's hellish, but we get through it with flying colors. We always do.
By the end of it, Commander Jones comes up behind me, slaps me on the back. He's an older, bigger man with a face that always turns beet red from barking orders and bulldozing his way through the harshest ground.
“Haven't seen you move like that since Kirkuk, Cleveland. Keep it up, and we won't have a repeat.”
“It's going to be completely different over there than Kirkuk if we're called up,” I tell him. “The Norks are better equipped than the Iranians any day. We're going to need more practice for all this fresh blood.”
He nods and smiles. “What? You think I don't already have it on the books? Get some sleep tonight, Cleveland, we're going to be drilling hard over the next week until everything's picture-fucking-perfect.”
“You think it's really gonna happen?” I cock my head and feel my eyes narrow.
The commander frowns and lets out a grunt. I already know what he's going to say in words, but his face tells me everything I need to know.
“That's up to the boys in DC to decide. If they do, we'll be ready to give 'em hell. Our worries begin and end right there.”
Yeah, hell, I think. He's not exaggerating.
It'll be the most dangerous mission I've ever been on once the order lands. It's easy to draw parallels with fire and eternal torment when you're talking about war.
But for me, I can't imagine anything worse than eternal silence, torn away forever from the forbidden chick I can't pry out of my skull.
Fuck. I need to see her again. I need to feel Delia wrapped around me.
Her arms, her lips, her soft, wet cunt...
We fucked over our week in Vegas together more than I ever gave it to any woman, and it's still not enough. Our last night together, feeling her draw every drop of come from my balls, is burned into my head for life.
My head's spinning at about a thousand miles per hour, and it's not just the week long drills and imminent war threat driving me loco. It's her.
I don't break my promises, dammit. But Delia's underneath my skin, alive and perfect, singing to me like a Siren. I can still feel her pheromones caressing every fucking pore, igniting some primal chemistry in my blood.
I can't forget her. Can't ignore her. Can't.
We made a vow to get this shit out of our systems and then forget it as soon as we returned from Vegas.
It's the first vow I've ever hated, and I know what I need to do. I'm going to march in and shatter the miserable piece of shit into a thousand pieces.
IX: Unforgettable (Delia)
It's been a day since we stepped off the plane together, and he dropped me at home. My heart sank when his lips pulled away from mine. He told me he wouldn't be coming back.
Bracing myself with a hundred inner pep talks on the plane didn't do a damned thing. It hurts.
I spend the whole day cooped up in my room, straining to force out something on my laptop. The words just won't come. Not when Chris flashes in my mind every time I type the word SEAL.
Hell, it's not just him. It's everything that's happened.
The way he led me through town like a brash, possessive playboy, confident as ever. The men he killed. All the times we fucked in our room, discovering layers of ecstasy I didn't even know existed, coming unraveled on his cock again and again as he spent himself inside me our final night.
God. There's a fiery pulse between my thighs every time I think about it.
On the flight back home, curled up against him, I seriously believed we might be able to put it all behind us. Maybe we'd actually gotten it out of our system with all the wild, screaming, sheet ripping sex we'd had.
But by the second day, I'm a fucking mess. I close the laptop, ignoring the latest passive-aggressive warnings from Professor Thosser about dragging my feet. I need to get out of the house, so I go for a run.
Dad and Evie are mysteriously absent. When I get home later, I see the screwed up bitch in the hall, berating our cleaner, Maribell, for something she probably didn't do.
Evie looks over the poor woman's shoulder and gives me the evil eye. I put on my best bitch face and glare back, before heading to my room.
This whole week has been too much. Like something out of a twisted movie.
I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with almost being kidnapped, watching the only man I've ever fucked murder two demons in cold blood. And that's not even half of it.
My hero, my lover, my ultimate obsession, is my own fucking stepbrother. Unless something insane happens, he always will be. And even if he wasn't, I don't think he's the type who settles down.
It was just sex, Delia, I tell myself, hoping if I say it enough times, I'll really start to believe it. But every time that vow we made courses through my mind, it's the feeblest crap I've ever heard.
I have to forget him sooner or later, but it's not going to be easy. I'm going to suffer a broken heart first.
By the time I collapse, exhausted in my little bed, I'm too dumb to think about anything at all.
A banging sound wakes me up in the dead of night. I sit up in my bed and peer towards the door to my balcony.
When it sounds again, I know it isn't a dream. I race to the door, too shocked to worry about the t-shirt and jeans I've fallen asleep in.
Who cares what I'm wearing? He's back!
“What the hell are you doing here?” I ask, as soon as I push the door open.
Chris smiles in the darkness, swings the screen open, and steps through into my room. He doesn't say anything – not with words.
His hands lock around my waist, pulling me in, and my lips find his. Instant hunger.
It's like the Vegas loving happened years ago. My body feels famished, insatiable. We stumble toward the bed and he pushes me down, hovering on top of me, just twirling his tongue against mine.
Deep. Fast. Hungry.
“Fucking shit. How can I miss your taste when it's barely been forty-eight hours?” He breaks the kiss, and I see the sheen of summer sweat lining his face.
I'm feeling it too. An animal heat ignites my whole bloodstream, causing every nerve to tingle and glow. I thought I couldn't resist him in Vegas, but I've never wanted anything between my legs as badly as I do now.
“Why did you come back? We made a promise.” I'm speaking like a surprised, reasonable girl, but deep down inside, I'm fucking thrilled.
“Fuck the promise. I need my tongue on your clit, babe. I need to feel you clenching on my dick, everything I felt in Vegas and then some.” He stops, shovin
g his hand my jeans, my panties. I melt when his fingers find my clit, stroking too hard to ignore. “Don't give me that shit. You're not gonna get caught up on practicalities when I'm here with my fingers on your pussy.”
I shake my head, feeling lust overpower all the wrong like it's some kind of lion attacking a gazelle.
“No, no...Chris. We can't do this. We have to get over it.” So I say.
“Get over fucking what, Delia?” His fingers sink deep into my pussy, finding the spot that always makes me squirm.
Holy shit. I'm breathless. Again. Completely and utterly conquered by his touch, his scent, the rays in his eyes that say, it was over the minute I stepped in. We're fucking no matter what.
His fingers piston in and out of my pussy so fast my mouth drops open, and I moan.
“Exactly,” he growls, taking advantage of my creeping pleasure coma to start working off my clothes.
I don't fight him anymore. I can't. It was stupid to begin with, when everything I'll ever want is right in front of me – or should I say between my legs?
It's strange to have a man here, in my own bedroom, caught in our parent's house. I know Evie sleepwalks sometimes, and I haven't even seen the time, so we'll have to be careful. I'm not hearing any vacuuming or voices in the halls, so I'm assuming it's late, past time for the staff to go home.
Chris bends me like a doll, undressing me, saving my panties for last. He rips them off in his trademark bestial way that sends fire up my spine. Everything below the waist tightens, anticipating his touch, his tongue, his manic, perfect cock.
“Chris, we have to be careful. We can't be too loud,” I whimper, softly covering my mouth with my hand.
It's all I can do not to groan like we did in Vegas when he starts kissing up my thighs. His tongue lashes hot, wild, leading me around in circles.
“Stuff your knuckles in your mouth and bite down, baby. That shit always helps guys cracking up under fire.”
That's all the warning he gives me, all I get, before his tongue plunges deep inside my pussy. My hips rise to meet him, and his hands catch my thighs. He pushes me down, pinning me to the mattress, growling as he takes control.
I crack after about a second. I bite down hard, so rough I can feel my small teeth digging into my skin. It's all I can do to stop myself from crying out.
He lashes me to the bed with his hands, sucking and fucking me with his tongue, stroking his way across my entire pussy in every lick. He pulls his tongue up from my slit, flutters it against my clit, a strange, teasing sensation that feeds the frenzy in slow motion.
A minute later, I feel like I'm going to scream bloody murder.
I'm panting, biting so hard I'll probably leave teeth marks the next day. My whole body heaves, begging for precious breath, every time he does those long, wicked strokes.
“Don't keep me holding like this!” I pant, when his tongue gives me a second of rest. “You're killing me, Chris. Killing me. I need you on my clit.”
He ignores the pleas for a few more seconds, driving me out of my mind. Then his mouth shifts up, and his fingers replace his tongue inside me, fucking with the same hard, alpha vigor we shared on our first night at the beach.
Heaven help me.
But there's nobody saving me from the climax that rises up and explodes all at once. My hips tighten up and I throw myself against his mouth like a madwoman, gasping and retching shrill little growls, coming on his face.
Chris keeps tonguing me the whole way through it, gliding me through the molten white pleasure. He licks for what feels like forever, snarls and sends his thunder through my flesh. I can't believe how long I'm coming, and my body doesn't want to stop.
It's built to be his and nothing else in this insane moment.
I'm flushed, completely covered in sweat by the end of it. His naked skin rubs against mine, bringing me down to earth, and he slowly rolls me over.
Then he's at my level, one hand jerking on my dark hair, pulling my ear to his lips. “We're not done yet, beautiful. Let's find out how hard we gotta fuck to break this fucking bed. Can't believe your old man doesn't get you anything nicer.”
He's right. The bed isn't much – a mid-quality single – and squeaks more than it should. Before I can protest, Chris covers my mouth and sinks into me, silencing my fears forever.
I can't let our parents hear! But I can't bring myself to care when his cock takes me from behind, slamming into me in harsh, overwhelming jerks. It's not like our last night in Vegas where every fuck came frantic, fast, and often, trying to get in as much as possible.
He fucks me slow, but hard, his rhythm rising into a full on jackhammer sensation. My entire body shakes, and I can barely hold myself up on my hands and knees. The fist in my hair does the work too, and it's getting tighter all the time, pulling at the roots while he growls with each powerful thrust.
Another ten strokes, and his balls are swinging up, slapping my clit with some insane pressure that's perfectly aligned to bring me down. I fall into another climax, crashing my head against the sheets, desperately kissing and biting at the bed to stifle the shrieks about to rip out of me.
“Fuck!” I hear Chris cry out behind me and stiffen. That pushes me completely over the edge, off this fucking planet. I'm leaving this world and entering nirvana.
We come together. The bed sounds like it's about to explode, and I can't stop. Not for one meager second as our hips collide, rutting like animals, drunk on the pleasure erupting in our own bodies.
He swells, bursts, and floods my emptiness. Rope after rope of his hot come fills me, and my pussy tightens, greedily drawing it all in. It feels like he's about to rip the hair out of my head. The sheer, rough climax pulls me deeper than anything I've ever felt, so deep I don't ever want it to stop.
I'm lost in flames, awash in him, transported to a world of nothing but sweat and sex where none of the crap between us matters. There's just Chris and I, free lovers, unbound by time or brutal obstacles.
Our bodies, minds, and souls bond together on some higher plane I'm too drunk on sex to understand.
After he pulls out, we lay together. He never keeps his hands off me, even when he's spent. He's got one hand on my ass and the other in my hair, keeping me wrapped around him, using his magnificent chest for a pillow.
“Why did you come back after Vegas? Seriously?” I ask him, running my fingers over his chest. It's nice to slow down and admire him. I brush my nails along the dragon and the trident on his torso, admiring all the little details, rich black ink as dark and dangerous as the rest of him.
“Why do you think?” There's a sharp edge in his tone. “Jesus, Delia, don't you know? If you think I'd let pussy like this go without a fight, you're crazy.”
“Oh?” I smile, raising my eyebrows. “So, you're just here for the sex? Thought you could get plenty of that outside base.”
“Look at me, woman.” Shrugging, he grabs my chin, repositioning my head so it's perfectly level with his eyes. “I don't have a damned clue what kind of voodoo shit you've got going on, but I want more. I'm not an idiot. I know I shouldn't be in this house, much less in your bed, but I don't care. I'm running on instinct here, and my instincts are never wrong.”
I love how his skin feels against mine. It's almost like he's getting warmer, slowly and gradually heating up, as if there's a chemical reaction between our flesh.
“Yeah? What's your instinct telling you now?”
He grabs my hand and pushes it down to his thigh, then slowly drags it across to his cock. I gasp when I feel how hard he is again, ready to go. At least we had a good, five minute break.
“Put your little lips on my dick and find out, sis.” It rushes out of his lips like a filthy curse, and something inside me tingles.
What the hell is wrong with me? I shouldn't be doing this, sucking my stepbrother's cock in my own bed, much less getting wet when he calls me sis.
I want to laugh in his face for acting like I'm the one with the love spell here
– if it isn't just a fuck spell. But his cock feels so good when I wrap my fingers around his huge, throbbing length, and soon I can't ignore the urge to taste him.
I crawl down the bed and get between his legs, blushing as his green eyes follow me. God, why does he make me feel so self-conscious, even after we've fucked so many times?
He tells me I'm a natural at giving him pleasure, but I'm still not used to the spotlight. I've got to get over it if we're going to keep doing this, and tonight's a good time to start.
I lick my lips slowly, watching his jaw clench, lowering my lips very, very slowly. He swears when I kiss the tip of his dick, oozing fresh pre-come.
My fingers bob up and down. I'm going to give Mr. Badass Tease a taste of his own medicine.
I'm smiling, ready to engulf him in the slowest blowjob a girl ever gave. The loud bang at my bedroom door makes me jump, and a second later, feeling him in my mouth is the last thing on my mind.
“Honey? Are you up? We need to talk.” Dad's strained voice comes through the other side.
Chris and I swap one agonizing look. He shoves a stiff finger against his lips and jumps up, grabbing his clothes. I stand up gently from the bed while dad knocks again.
It's not soft. There's something urgent, frantic in his fist, like he's in trouble, but holding back so he doesn't worry me.
“I'll slip outside and we'll catch up later. Find out what the fuck he wants,” Chris whispers, launching himself out onto the balcony before I can say anything.
I watch him jump into a huge oak tree with a panther's grace, sliding down the trunk, into the sprawling garden below.
“Honey?” Dad knocks again. His voice is cracking, and it's freaking me out. “Please.”
Shit. I'm not even dressed. I scramble for my clothes, my ears pricked up the entire time. Whatever he wants, it can't be good since it's the middle of the night. I'm straightening my gown when I hear his footsteps turn, angrily padding down the hall.
My heart keeps thumping like it's going to beat out of my ribs. I want to go after him, but I'm afraid of the reaction if I pop up in front of him, wide awake, after ignoring him for several minutes. Never mind the fact that I'm sweaty and smelling like pure sex.
