Blindsided (Virginia Bluebloods Book 1)

by BJ Wane

  Nate had to swallow twice to dislodge the lump that had taken up residence in his throat. One minute she was second guessing herself and the next she was throwing caution to the wind and ready to take off. Those stunning green eyes conveyed anticipation and longing and, right at that moment, Nate wanted nothing more than to give her whatever she desired. With other women, it would have been expensive jewelry or to be paraded on his arm at a pricey restaurant or social function. With Eve, it was a boost into the saddle and an early evening ride.

  "Up you go, sugar." Nate hoisted her into the saddle where she looked just right perched on the little mare. "A perfect match, wouldn't you say, Wes?"

  "I'd have to agree."

  Wes's look remained on Nate, making him scowl as he took Smokey's reins from a stable hand. He had a feeling Wes wouldn't waste any time getting payback for all the ribbing he'd given him over his relationship with Katie that was going on six months.

  "You've taken quite an interest in her, although, I can't blame you. Is she going to join us in Belize in November?" Wes asked.

  Aware of Eve's acute hearing, Nate was glad Wes's voice had been hushed. Glancing at her, he was relieved to see her enthralled with her mount. "I don't know yet. How she reacts this evening will help me decide whether to invite her or not. Don't go there," he warned when Wes started to say something else on the matter.

  "You're no fun. I'll meet up with you later at the gym." Turning back to Eve, Wes touched her leg like he'd seen others do before telling her, "Enjoy your ride, Eve."

  "Thank you, Wes."

  Crisp, cool air indicated fall was finally approaching, and with a start, Nate realized it had been over a month since that first night with Eve at the Hampton and he was still as intrigued by and drawn to the woman as he had been that night. If he wasn't careful, he would have to admit sooner rather than later this thing between them was more than sex. But not today. Today was about giving Eve more freedom and more pleasure. With Sadie Mae following docilely beside Smokey, he headed down a different trail than the one he'd taken them on last time, this one keeping them out in the open where the sun helped ease the nip in the air.

  "You're awfully quiet," Nate commented when ten minutes had passed and she hadn't said a word. Her slim black brows furrowed and her jaw tightened, but when she looked over at him, her eyes were warm with pleasure.

  "Sorry. This is taking a lot more concentration than riding in circles with the guys or with you in control. We're on a path, right?"

  "Yes. This one skirts the woods along your left and to the right is nothing but wide open fields. Loosen up on the reins a little. Sadie Mae won't bolt on you. Better," he said when her shoulders relaxed along with her tight grip. Remembering how she wanted him to describe the scenery last time, he took a closer look around them.

  Nate never paid much attention to the signs of changing seasons, but now he appreciated the colorful array of red, orange and yellow tipped green leaves still on the trees, a sure sign summer was ending and fall was right around the corner. Hoping to relax her, he described the changes along with the glassy sheen of the blue pond off in the distance and the ever present background of the snow tipped, majestic Appalachian Mountains that never changed despite what time of year it was. Except for the time he spent at boarding school in Maryland, he had lived in Virginia his whole life and never appreciated its beauty until Eve made him look.

  "We're going to pick up the pace a little," he said abruptly, needing to derail any more thoughts that veered too far from a sex only relationship for now.

  Eve nodded her head, more than ready to switch gears. Nate's low, compelling voice describing the scenery had drawn a vivid picture for her, but it was that slow southern drawl coupled with the sway of her body in tune with the mare's step that had her senses firing up again. The need he so easily brought to the surface was once again clamoring for release, the constant shifting pressure of her crotch against the saddle egging on her steadily increasing ache. It didn't help that her skin was still tingling from the feel of Nate's fingers and mouth moving over her newly bared flesh.

  The switch from a sedate walk to a slow trot brought back a rush of memories from when she used to gallop around the fields at the stables near her home, but it wasn't until Nate urged both horses into a gallop that she could replace her absorption with her arousal with the sheer fun of riding solo again. Confident now Nate was close enough and alert enough to prevent a mishap, she relaxed into the run, the cool air whipping against her face doing nothing to defuse the warm glow of accomplishment filling her.

  Laughing, Eve nudged Sadie Mae on her own, sending the little mare into an all-out run just like the one Nate had taken her on. Even though she missed the feel of his hard body cradling hers, the exalted feeling of freedom sweeping through her was just as exhilarating.

  "Oh my God, Nate," Eve squealed as she slid off of Sadie Mae's back and felt Nate's towering body behind her forty minutes later. Turning, she threw her arms around his neck, grinning widely. "That was awesome. I can't wait to go again. Maybe I can get Carl or Mark to bring me out after class this week. They'll be so surprised, won't they?"

  Nate didn't care for the odd poke of jealousy he experienced when Eve mentioned coming back with the guys instead of him. If he didn't get this growing possessive streak towards her under control, he'd be forced to give in and redefine the nature of their relationship. Maybe it was her flushed face and sparkling eyes looking up at him with such pride and happiness that accounted for the way he didn't find that thought too disconcerting. Watching the brave way she took the initiative with Sadie Mae, seeing her face come alive as they galloped side by side across the field, gave him as much pleasure as fucking her did, another indication she was slowly getting to him in a way no other woman had.

  "Like me, I don't think anything you manage to accomplish on your own will surprise either of them. You've proven you're more than capable of doing whatever you set your mind to, Eve."

  "Thank you." Feeling uncomfortable with such praise, she reminded him, "But I distinctly remember my miserable failure at rock climbing."

  Handing their reins to the stable hand, he slung his arm around her shoulders and led her back towards the indoor facilities. "You only gave it the one shot. We'll try it again when it gets too cold to ride. Right now, we have just enough time to get something to eat at the facility's café before we go swimming."

  Eve used her cane to find her way around the women's changing room when Nate left her at the door an hour later. She could hear the clanging shutting of lockers as the last members dressed to leave, the sudden silence a few minutes later telling her she was the only one remaining. She didn't bother with a locker since the pool was now closed to visitors except for Nate and his friends. Undressing, she thought of the stories Nate had entertained her with while they ate chicken strips, tales of all the trouble he, Dec, Fin and Wes liked to get into, most of it at their parents' expense. She had never given Nate's name or wealth a thought, much more interested in the man and what he was offering her than in his bank account or social status. She had to admit she found herself a little intimidated and put off hearing he went to private boarding school and of all the places he had traveled to and the financial cost of some of their exploits. She led a quiet life and preferred the low key, limited socials she attended at the school, just one more glaring difference between the two of them and another reason to make sure she didn't let herself fall into the trap of eventually wanting more.

  She had enjoyed their simple, but surprisingly good meal as much as his company. The chicken was juicy, the breading seasoned and crunchy and the sides of fries and coleslaw tasted freshly made. The ride invigorated her, the food eased her hunger and now she was eager to have the pressing need for another round of sex with Nate appeased.

  "Eve, I'm Katie. Nate sent me after you."

  Eve turned toward the woman's voice coming from the opposite direction of the door she'd entered from. "I'm ready," she said, glad
she had her modest two-piece already on.

  "It's nice to meet the woman who has held Nate's attention for longer than a few hours between the sheets." The petite, wary eyed woman was very pretty and Katie could see why she had drawn Nate's interest. "You'll love the pool. Wes keeps it at ninety-two, which is how I like it. Do you need me to take your arm or anything?"

  "No, thank you, my cane and your voice are all I need. It's nice to meet you too. Have you known Wes and Nate long?" Eve asked as they left the dressing room and she stepped into the humidity of the indoor pool room.

  "I met Wes about eight months ago at a club and we've been a couple for the past six. I don't know Nate or Dec all that well, but enough to tell you they're hot with a capital H."

  "Why, thank you, Katie." Nate strode over and took Eve's hand, setting her cane and towel on a chair. Not wanting her to know they were naked yet, he made sure he didn't touch her anywhere else. Looking Katie over with blatant male appreciation, he noted her full breasts and nicely rounded ass were just as appealing as he remembered. With her dark brown hair and matching dark eyes, she was a very attractive woman and he could see why Wes was taken with her. "And may I return the compliment?"

  "Go play with your own woman," Wes said, picking Katie up and tossing her into the pool before following her in.

  "I take it they're already swimming." Eve grinned when Katie let out a shriek of rage, presumably right after surfacing from her dunk.

  "Yeah, Wes isn't one for wasting time. Dec's not here yet, so let's just swim until he arrives."

  That comment left open too many possibilities for Eve to think about, so she concentrated instead on the warm feel of the water as Nate led her down the steps. Pulling her hand from his once the water was above her waist, Eve sank down then stretched out into a side stroke. "Oh, Nate, this feels wonderful. I've been to the private pool at my parents' condo a few times, but it's been a long time."

  Nate's look was indulgent as he watched her swim with the fluidity and ease of a fish, her small body turning, twisting, going under then popping up, a big smile on her face as she enjoyed her solo play. "Why so long?" he finally asked, swimming parallel with her.

  "I don't get summers off like most teachers and frankly, I'm not comfortable around crowds. Since it's an outdoor pool, there're always quite a few people enjoying it those few months. It was nice of Wes to let us in here after hours."

  Dec entered at that moment, naked, a gleam of interest in his eyes and Nate was about to show her just how nice it was going to be, and just in time. As if watching her undulate in the water wasn't cock stirring enough, seeing her beaded nipples pressing against her top added to his torment. He didn't think she knew how her bottoms, as modest as they were, clung wetly to her denuded folds, leaving little to the imagination. From the look of appreciation on Dec's face and the way his cock was pointing the way, Nate knew he wasn't the only one affected by Eve's innocent swim. Naturally, Wes had to compound the issue by taking advantage of having Katie's nude body plastered against him in all its wet glory. Wes had introduced Katie to public play a few months ago when Nate had a Fourth of July party at his condo that ended with the four of them and their dates indulging in their favorite pastime, kinky sex.

  As Dec waded into the pool, Nate snaked an arm around Eve's waist and hauled her slick body back against him, making sure she noticed his lack of a swimsuit and his erection. "Did I forget to mention you're the only one wearing a suit, sugar? I think we need to remedy that discrepancy, don't you?"

  Chapter Nine

  Warm, humid air caressed her bare breasts before Nate's words sank in. Eve's first, automatic response was to cross her arms over her chest, but a pair of large hands drew them gently back down, hands that came from someone in front of her.

  "Why hide those pretty breasts?" Dec asked her, waiting for her permission before touching. "You've been holding back on us, Nate. She's exquisite."

  "Nate?" Eve turned her head up to find his face lowered to hers, his mouth against her lips. Warm water swirled around her waist, even warmer air caressed her breasts. Nate's hard body and even harder cock pressed against her back and ass and knowing there were three other people gazing upon her nakedness, threw Eve into sensory overload without warning.

  "I promised you new adventures, sugar, and what could be more sexually stimulating than four hands and two mouths pleasuring you?" His hand slid down her waist and into the bottom of her suit to cup her bare mound. "Mmm, I don't think all this wetness is from the pool, do you?"

  Eve suppressed a moan and the urge to rub her bare flesh against his rough palm but knew better than to deny her obvious response. Her shocked surprise at Dec's sudden appearance wasn't enough to prevent her body from reacting to what they were suggesting. When Nate slid a finger inside her, the instant pleasure forced her suppressed moan past her compressed lips. Her head fell back against Nate's chest, pushing her breasts toward Dec in silent supplication.

  "Yes or no, Eve?"

  On the heels of Nate's hard voice demanding an answer was the sound of a bare flesh slap and soft cry from Katie, making Eve jump, her nipples pucker even tighter and her pussy even wetter. "Yes," she answered without further hesitation. Honestly, what was there to think about? Live out every woman's fantasy or end her affair with the first man who had ever shown so much interest in her. As Dec's hands cupped her breasts and Nate divested her of her bottoms, Eve blanked out everything except the pleasure.

  "Feel how fast this little heart is beating," Dec teased, kneading the soft mounds of her small breasts. "Wonder why that is?"

  "Does that feel good, Eve?" Nate slid two fingers into her wet heat, smiling when her slick walls tightened around them. "Yes, I think it does."

  Eve ignored their teasing in favor of savoring the heightened sensations they were evoking. The dual stimulation of Dec's fingers pulling and twisting her nipples and Nate's fingers stroking that special spot that was sure to fire up all her cylinders catapulted her into a raging firestorm of lust. Nate frustrated her with a teasing graze over her clit then lifted her almost to her toes with a forceful, deep, thrust of his fingers. She whimpered in frustration and thrust her hips against his hand in a demand for more. His low chuckle showed he found her frustration amusing, but he made up for that irritation when he leaned down and swallowed her next whimper with his mouth, his tongue mimicking the deep plunges of his stroking fingers.

  "Not yet. We want to play first," he said when he released her mouth.

  Eve frowned then bit back a curse when Dec's mouth closed over her right breast, his lips drawing tautly on her nipple just as Katie cried out in obvious pleasure.

  "He's certainly wasting no time," Nate commented when he glanced over to where Wes had Katie seated on the edge of the pool, her legs wrapped around his neck, his hands under her ass, lifting her crotch to his mouth.

  Dec laved Eve's nipple with his tongue before looking at the other couple. "He doesn't like to torment the way we do." Bending his head again, he suckled Eve's left nipple, giving her right a tight pinch with his thumb and forefinger. From her soft moan and the way she pushed into his mouth, he could tell she liked that little nip of pain.

  "Let's go to the steps where we can spread you out." Nate drew Eve's unresisting body over to the steps and settled her on the second one, pushing her back to lean on her hands. With water lapping around her and her front completely exposed, they settled at her sides.

  Buoyed by the water under her, Eve closed her eyes, blocked out the sounds of Katie and Wes fucking somewhere close, and basked in the slow onset of pleasure consuming her. Fingers tweaked her nipples, pulled and twisted until the bite of pain left her gasping, lifting her hips for more. Mouths replaced fingers, lips suckling both nipples simultaneously with tongues stroking her now tender buds followed by nibbling teeth renewed the discomfort they had just soothed.

  Hands glided down her waist, spread her thighs and delved in between. Eve moaned as fingers penetrated both her pussy and
her ass, shocking her with the instant, ravenous pleasure. Before Nate, she never had her anus breached, never knew or imagined the pleasure to be had from that dark, taboo orifice. She shied away from trying to figure out which man was touching her in that sensitive area, preferring to concentrate instead on the pleasure sweeping her from her tortured nipples down to her crotch. Her dark world spun on its axis as they drove her to the brink of climax over and over only to draw back and leave her hanging.

  "Please," she whimpered, unable to suppress the plea a moment longer. Lips that weren't Nate's covered her mouth, Dec's tongue invading her space, his mouth swallowing her groan.

  "Your mouth tastes as good as your pretty nipples, Eve," Dec told her. "I think I'll see if that pretty pussy tastes just as good."

  Nate kept a close eye on Eve as Dec slid between her thighs and buried his mouth in her pussy, those sightless eyes drenched in need working like a magnet pulling at his own built-up lust. Eyes glazed, mouth taut and her breathing labored, her face revealed her total absorption with her impending climax as she strained towards its release. He bent his head to her breasts, unable to resist their draw as they bounced with her hips' gyrations against Dec's mouth.

  The relentless tension of unfulfilled arousal built to an aching crescendo, and when Eve felt Nate's mouth on her nipples again, the dual pleasure of their tongues lashing her nipples and clit sent her over the precipice and soaring into unbelievable ecstasy. She didn't have time to be embarrassed over the way Dec spread her labia and wrapped his lips around her exposed, swollen clit, the strong suckling on that tortured bundle of nerves making her explode with another orgasm before the first had even begun to subside. Her cry echoed along with Katie's in the cavernous room and were loud enough to drown out the low groans coming from the three men.
