“You said Sage won’t be home for a while, but I don’t want to take any chances on her catching us.”
“Then we’d better take this to my room.”
She stood and tugged on his hand until he stood with her. Not able to resist those luscious lips, he wrapped his hand in her hair and kissed her again. With a soft moan, she melted against him. She slid one hand between his legs. The gentle caressing of his balls brought a moan from Dray’s throat.
“Damn, Shaula,” he rasped. “You are so hot.”
“And getting hotter.” She squeezed him firmly. “Bed. Now.”
With him literally in her hands, he couldn’t argue with her. Not that he had any intention of arguing. He couldn’t remember when he’d wanted a woman as much as he wanted Shaula…not even his ex-wife in the early days of their marriage.
Shaula held Dray’s hand as she led him down the hall to the guest room. Fantasies of making love with Dray had filled Shaula’s mind several times over the years. She’d dreamed of his lips on hers, his hands on her breasts, his cock inside her. She’d never believed those fantasies might come true. Finally, everything she’d dreamed about was going to happen.
Her pussy wept, dampening her panties.
Stopping at the side of the bed, she turned on the lamp. She wanted to see Dray’s body, look into his eyes, while he moved inside her. One tug and her top landed on the floor. His gaze dipped to her breasts. She’d designed the lacy bra for support and to be sexy at the same time. Unfastening the front hook, she peeled it back from her breasts and down her arms to fall on the floor behind her.
Dray inhaled sharply. “My God.” He stepped closer to her and cradled both breasts. “These are beautiful.”
Shaula had been embarrassed by the size of her breasts as a teenager. Now, she was proud of her body. Arching her back, she pressed them farther into his hands. “Touch me.”
He caressed her breasts, kneaded them, tugged the nipples. Her eyes drifted closed from pleasure. She tunneled her fingers into his hair and held him close. She didn’t want him ever to stop touching her.
Her eyes popped open at the rasp of his tongue across her nipple. She watched Dray lick first one nipple, then the other. The gentle lapping of the sensitive nubs traveled straight down her body to her clit.
“That feels so good, Dray.”
“I want it to feel good. I want everything to feel good.”
Looking into her eyes, he unfastened the button on her slacks. He lowered the zipper. Shaula braced her hands on his shoulders as he pushed her slacks and panties down her legs. She toed off her shoes and lifted one foot at a time so he could remove her clothing.
The air conditioner clicked on, sending cool air over her skin. Goose bumps scattered across her flesh…partly from the air, but mostly from the feel of Dray’s hands on her body. He slid them up and down her sides and over her hips. “You look…I can’t think of a word to describe you. Beautiful isn’t strong enough.”
Never had a compliment pleased her so much. Something so sweet deserved a reward.
A very special reward.
Shaula pulled Dray’s T-shirt over his head and dropped it on the floor with her clothing. His jeans and briefs soon followed. When he was naked, she knelt before him.
“Shaula,” he whispered.
She wrapped one hand around the base of his cock and took the head into her mouth. She loved the intimacy of oral sex. Normally, she dated a man several times before she consented to sex. She’d known Dray most of her life. None of her rules mattered. Not with him.
“Baby, let me love you, too.”
Ignoring his request, she continued to run her tongue up and down the hard shaft. She circled the head with her tongue, then took his cock in her mouth again. She licked the thick vein, laved his balls. Dray’s breathing grew heavier, uneven. She wanted to make him come this way, feel his seed fill her mouth.
Dray clasped her arms and pulled her away from him. “That’s enough,” he said brokenly. “I don’t want to come yet.”
“Why not?” she asked, giving his head one more lick to tease him.
“Because I want to know if your pussy is as sweet as I suspect it is.” Still holding her arms, he pulled her to her feet and steered her to the bed. “Lie down.”
Shaula did as he said, lying crossways in the center of the double bed. She waited for him to join her, to slide that luscious thick cock inside her. Instead, he lay between her legs and lowered his face to her pussy.
Dray inhaled deeply. He could lie here for hours and drink in Shaula’s scent. Other parts of his anatomy had other ideas. He shifted on the bed, rearranging his hard cock to a more comfortable position. He could thrust into her right now and make his hormones happy. He wouldn’t do that to Shaula. It had taken them years to get here, together. He wanted to savor all of her.
“You smell so good.” Dray kissed the inside of each thigh. “Do you taste as good as you smell?”
“Find out.”
Parting her labia with his thumbs, he touched her swollen clit with the tip of his tongue. She moaned softly and lifted her hips. Dray accepted her silent request for more. He moved his tongue up and down the feminine lips, then traveled back to her clit to give it more attention. Up and down, back and forth, he licked her creamy folds.
Delicious.
He looked over her stomach to see her plucking at her nipples. Watching a woman pleasure herself always sent his desire through the roof. His wish to bring her to orgasm fought with his cock’s demand to fuck her now.
“Right there. Oh, Dray, right there. Yes. Yes!”
She bucked and moaned loudly. Dray pushed two fingers into her pussy and felt the walls milk his fingers. He kept gently licking her clit until she lay still once again. Leaving his fingers inside her, he rose over the top of her and rested his weight on his other hand. Her eyes were closed, her cheeks flushed. She panted softly.
“Hey,” he whispered.
She blinked a couple times, then opened her eyes and looked at him.
“Was that a good one?”
She smiled. “Most definitely.”
He pressed his fingers upward. She gasped softly. Dray smiled. “Mmm, found your G-spot.” He moved in a small circle, massaging the sensitive place inside her. Her panting grew heavier. “Come again for me, Shaula.”
Adding more pressure, he continued the caress. She began to pump her hips. Her eyes slid closed again.
“Look at me,” Dray whispered.
She opened her eyes halfway and licked her lips.
“That’s the way. I want to look in your eyes when you come.”
“Inside me, please.”
He touched her clit with his thumb. “Not yet. I want you to experience all the feelings you possibly can first.”
He’d no sooner finished the sentence when Shaula arched her neck and keened. Before she had the chance to return to earth, Dray covered her body with his and thrust inside her. The last of the contractions from her orgasm gripped his cock. Slipping his hands beneath her buttocks, he began fucking her. He kissed her neck, her shoulder, while he drove inside her again and again.
“My God, I can’t believe this is happening.” Dray nipped her earlobe. “So tight. So wet.” He darted his tongue in her ear. “I’m going to come so deep inside you, baby.”
Shaula dug her fingernails into Dray’s buttocks as a third orgasm enveloped her body. All the breath whooshed out of her lungs, leaving her gasping. It had been a while between lovers, but sex after a lapse had never left her so weak, so drained.
So satisfied.
Dray released a guttural groan and shivered. Shaula slowly ran her hands up and down his back while he recovered from his climax. His warm breath in her ear, the weight of his body on top of her, his softening cock still in her pussy…it all felt right, as if this was where she should be.
She’d be here another two days. The thought of leaving Dray so quickly made her stomach clench with dread.
He raised up on his elbows and smiled at her. “Wow.”
She chuckled. “Good one for you, too?”
“Oh, yeah. Very good.” He touched her face, his thumb skimming over her lips. “So good, I want a repeat in a few minutes.”
“I’m game.”
Chuckling, he withdrew from her body and moved to her side. Shaula curled up against him, her arm over his waist. Content, she sighed softly.
He wrapped both arms around her. “Are you going to sleep?”
“Not when I’m getting a repeat in a few minutes.” She reached down and caressed his flaccid shaft. It was still damp from her juices. Tilting her head on his shoulder, she looked at his face. “Are you sure I’m getting a repeat?”
“I promise you. I recuperate quickly.”
She grinned. “Goody.”
He dropped a gentle kiss on her lips. “Would you like me to get our wine?”
“Not yet. I like being in your arms.”
“I like it, too,” he said softly.
Shaula cuddled closer to him. Right now, she didn’t want anything but to be in Dray’s arms. She didn’t want to think about leaving or the fact that she had no idea when she’d see him again.
Dray kissed the top of her head. “Have you ever thought about moving back to Texas?”
That question was so unexpected, Shaula remained silent for several moments before she looked at him again. “No. Why?”
“Your roots are here. You have friends here.”
“And it’s 238 degrees in the summer. No, thank you.”
He touched her hair, letting the strands sift through his fingers. “I’m here.”
Shaula propped up on one elbow. “What are you really asking me, Dray?”
Lifting her hand from his stomach, he kissed the back of it. “I’ve always cared about you, Shaula. You know that. We became best friends practically from the moment we met. What happened between us…” He kissed her hand again, running his tongue over her knuckles. “It was more to me than simply exploring each other’s bodies.” He released her hand and touched her cheek. “I’ve always been a little bit in love with you. I think it could be a lot more than a little bit if you’ll give it a chance.”
Tears clogged her throat at his sweet words. She’d always been a little bit in love with Dray, too, but never had the courage to tell him that. She wanted to examine those feelings, find out if they could turn into something that would last forever. But she couldn’t do it here. “Dray, I have a business to run. I employ over one hundred people. I can’t pack up and move back to Texas. It isn’t practical.”
“Do you want to be with me?”
Shaula nodded. “Yes,” she whispered. “More than anything.”
“Then it looks like I’m moving to Flagstaff.”
The man continued to surprise her. “What?”
“I’m an attorney. I can work anywhere once I pass the state bar. It’ll take me some time to settle things at work and put my house up for sale. I can head your way within a couple of months.”
Shaula couldn’t believe Dray was willing to change his whole life for her. “Dray, are you sure? You can’t base a decision that drastic on a few hours in bed.”
“I’m basing my decision on the fact that you’re my best friend. I know your favorite color, your favorite ice cream, your favorite movies. I’ve always been able to talk to you about anything. Not a lot of couples can say that.”
“But what if things don’t work out for us?”
He frowned. “Will you stop the negative stuff?”
“One of us has to be realistic.”
“What’s real is the way I feel about you. I want to be with you, Shaula, and for a lot longer than a few hours.”
A tear slipped down her cheek. “I want to be with you, too.”
He smiled and tugged her closer for a kiss. “Now that that’s settled…” He kissed her again, longer this time. “I do believe we were talking earlier about a repeat.”
Shaula glanced down Dray’s body. His cock stood at full attention. “My goodness, you do recuperate quickly.”
“Aren’t you lucky?”
Straddling his hips, she took him inside her body again. “Oh, yes. I am most definitely lucky.”
