Hearing the words he longed for, Nick peeled her body off of his with a low feral growl. Swinging her into his capable arms, he kissed her passionately some more while carrying her through to his private suite.
A large bed took up one side of the cabin with two arm chairs and a small built-in dresser on the other side. Marching right up to the side of the mattress, Nick let go of Shannon’s lips long enough for her to slide with delicious slowness down the front of him in a sensual descent that almost knocked the strength out of her legs when they hit the floor. She stood trembling before him, feeling engulfed by his size and nearness and dwarfed by the intensity of her response.
Trying to gain some control over her careening emotions lest she embarrass herself totally, Shannon glanced around the bedroom suite, taking in the big bed dressed in muted shades of cream and beige with a soft cashmere throw arranged along the footboard. It was hard not to notice the obvious comforts which made up the well-appointed cabin, something she was sure would be a necessity for anyone who traveled as much as Nick apparently did. The next thing that struck her was how stark and empty the space actually was. While sumptuous and comforting the room was devoid of personal touches. The Barrett logo might be on everything she surveyed but it was not attached to him it seemed. In that moment of awareness she surmised that while he was a man who had everything in a material sense he was also a man who had been living his life in a paint-by-number way. He’d been going through the motions for all to see, but was essentially empty and lonely inside. A little like this room and a little like she herself had been for far too long.
Letting her head fall back in order to see him more clearly, Shannon searched his face for reassurance and was warmed all over, all hesitation wiped away by the look of pure want blazing at her from his heavy lidded eyes. She wanted to say something but the moment was too profound for mere words so she told him with her hands and mouth how she felt.
Leaning forward she set shaking hands to the buttons of his shirt to expose his chiseled abs and lightly furred chest to her sight. She immediately moved in to set her tongue moving along his collarbone to his chest until she found a tight male nipple just waiting to feel the flick of her tongue.
He shuddered when that naughty tongue of hers licked and sucked at his chest, while she moaned softly with each sweep of her lips. He was delirious for her touch and found his knees shaking, so great was his desire for her. Only she had ever driven him to the exquisite point where their passion was so boundless that he lost some of his legendary control. He let her have her way with that hungry mouth against his highly sensitized skin until he was sure his heart was going to thump right out of his chest. While he loved her teeth nipping at him, there was something else he wanted more.
With slow deliberate hands he moved her mere inches away. Still close enough to feel each other’s heat but far enough that she groaned at the loss of contact. He smiled as a surge of intense satisfaction and lust fueled his brain.
Running hands down her uncovered arms he moved behind her to attend to the zipper on her dress. Having him where she couldn’t see him caused Shannon’s breath to hitch in her throat. Relying on her other senses, she felt his fingers trace a line across her neck before moving slowly to draw down the zip on her classy, vintage dress. His warm breath on her exposed skin brought a shudder of awareness.
Stroking his large hands across her bare shoulder blades he eased the dress off her arms. His hands followed the path of the dress as he grasped her waist and swept the dress down over her hips until she was standing with her back still to him in naught but bra, panties and a dainty pair of kitten-heeled sandals. Shannon was pretty sure Nick’s hands were quaking slightly when he brushed her long tumbling locks aside and leaned in, raggedly inhaling the scent of warm skin mingling with a deepening excitement.
“I’ve dreamt of your scent. Yearned for it against my skin, infusing my senses like drug.” he said while pressing his body along her back so she could feel for herself the proof of his excitement for her.
With hands that could not disguise their trembling he turned her toward him and stepped back so he could look at her. Nick’s mind went totally blank when his gaze met a mouth-wateringly skimpy lace bra and a pair of sheer panties in smoky pink which exactly matched the tell-tale body blush she wore along with the sexy lingerie. He’d asked her to bring something pink and like a gift from the heavens that something was her.
He experienced a tightening in his groin so sharp and insistent that he was forced to drag in a series of deep breaths that left his chest heaving. He remembered how he’d compared her to Botticelli’s Venus and marveled at the delicious sight of his own pocket version standing before him, golden waves of long hair falling about her shoulders, voluptuous curves; she was so feminine and lovely as to rob him of his senses. She stood there silently as he feasted hungrily on her fair-skinned beauty, the nipples on her perfectly luscious breasts beading before his eyes under the sheer pink lace.
Shannon posed somewhat shyly before him in skimpy silk and lace while he indulged in a long and torturously slow inspection of her ample curves that left her in little doubt that he was as on the edge as she was. His hazel eyes had turned smoky while still glittering with leonine intensity and stood out on his sculpted face which was tense with undisguised desire. Slashes of color, not too dissimilar from the color of her panties, shown on his chiseled features as he gulped air into his lungs.
She let him look and then look some more, not feeling any great rush to consummate what was rapidly feeling like a sacred moment. There was something raw and exciting about the way he looked at her. Shannon was glad now that she had worn the dusty pink lingerie. Judging by the large bulge behind his zipper, she was pretty sure he was glad too.
If he could look, well, she wanted some of the same. Stepping forward Shannon came into his body space and swept the unbuttoned shirt still hanging from his broad shoulders to the floor. He was just so damn perfect, she all but whimpered as soft hands moved with infinite slowness across his hard, muscled chest. He felt magnificent under her fingers and she lost herself for a while in a tactile exploration that reawakened a searing physical connection that neither time nor heartache had erased.
He let her satisfy the need to touch him for as long as he could take the sensation of her exploring hands running up and down his torso with a thrumming awareness that set his nerve endings on fire. Her breathing had become shallow and rapid as their mounting excitement created a powerful energy that swirled around and through them. When trembling fingers moved to the buckle of his belt and started struggling with what under normal circumstances would be a simple task, he batted her hands aside and efficiently unhooked both the belt and the button on his trousers. Now it was her turn to swat his hands away as she took over from there, eagerly reaching for the zip on his pants, easing it carefully over an impressive erection.
Reaching inside she covered him with the whole of her hand and felt his hungry manhood twitch in response. From there it took mere seconds for Shannon to send his trousers to the floor before she pushed the soft clinging cotton of the sexy molded boxers he favored down muscular thighs which at the moment were very much poised in that swashbuckling stance that made her mouth go bone dry.
Running her hands reverently up hair covered legs, Shannon was momentarily transfixed by the sight of Nick’s manhood as it stood out from his amazing body, bobbing slightly under her intense perusal. He must have taken this distraction as an opportunity to toe off his footwear and kick away his forgotten clothes because the next thing she knew he was pulling her into his powerful naked embrace while whispering, “To new beginnings my only love, and fresh starts.”
When his lips touched hers, tentatively and with reverence, Shannon sighed from the perfection of his warmth pressed up against her quivering softness and the devastating effects wrought by sweet, teasing kisses that thrilled while promising so much more. Opening her lips in invitation Nick quickly accepted, launching a
gentle invasion of her hungry mouth. She sucked on his swirling, wickedly exciting tongue in a sensual feast of delight.
While she lost herself in the exquisite sensations Nick’s lips and tongue were wreaking on her senses, Shannon hadn’t noticed straightaway when gentle fingers slid beneath the straps of her delicate, sheer bra, lowering them down her arms. Without support her breasts plumped up and spilled over the flimsy pink lace bringing a low, primitive growl from him when he moved to cup her ample bosom with shaking hands. Arching her back in response, Shannon let instinct and raw, unfettered desire guide her actions.
Nick was swamped by desire when her bountiful breasts were bared to his touch, moving swiftly to unhook the sexy pink bra so he could enjoy the rosy tipped orbs without impediment. He was aching to taste the hardened nubs on his tongue while he suckled like a starving man. Feeling the weight of her glorious breasts in his hands brought a growl from deep in his chest that had Shannon arching and quivering under his touch.
Swooping in on his target Nick swirled his tongue around a beaded nipple before kissing it sweetly while his labored breathing against the wet path he left on her breast caused Shannon to shudder from head to toe. Lifting the prized flesh, he pulled her deeply into his hot mouth and sucked hard as he greedily devoured her aching flesh.
Hanging on to his shoulders lest she collapse from the pleasure he was giving her, Shannon mewled softly as Nick feasted on her woman’s body. Desire, basic and primal rushed at her senses making her writhe sensuously against his rock hard frame. She speared desperate fingers into his hair holding his head and hungry mouth at her sensitive breasts. Feeling his mighty staff against her quivering belly, Shannon fell deeper and deeper into a sense of erotic thrall that stole her breath.
Moving to her other breast Nick repeated in exquisite detail the same oral assault he’d visited on the first while Shannon shook and moaned in his arms. She was on fire, of that there was no doubt and while he could have stayed at her magnificent breasts till the end of time there was so much more that he wanted to do to her, so much more that he needed to share with her.
Suddenly abandoning her breasts, Nick slid to his haunches and hooked his fingers into the sides of her tiny panties before Shannon realized what he was doing. With a firm tug the sheer fabric peeled away leaving her completely naked and vulnerable to his gaze. When he leaned in and breathed deeply she knew he was picking up on her unmistakable arousal and wantonly tilted her pelvis in his direction. Dazed and more turned on than she ever thought possible, she watched with labored breathing as his nose disappeared in the blonde curls at her thighs as he kissed her aching mound with firm lips. The feel of his big hands holding her backside so he had complete access to her woman’s center was more exciting than anything she’d known to this point. Shannon felt feminine and incredibly powerful by the unmistakable affect that her arousal had on his response when she was guided onto the big bed while her cowboy pirate enjoyed her sensual dishevelment with glittering male satisfaction.
Nick had wanted to love her slowly this first time; tasting every inch of flesh and drinking in her arousal until she was mindless and out-of-control under his masterful plundering of her senses. Unfortunately, he hadn’t considered the siren’s song her naked body was subjecting his one-track mind to. How he kept from simply dropping her to the floor where they stood and plunging into her heated core until the powerful ache her presence in his bed evoked was a mystery to him. He had more control than he thought but the sight of her naked and panting on his bed and with the tangy aroma of her excitement invading his brain, Nick’s determination to go slow was effectively shot to hell.
The big man looming over her made Shannon’s senses go haywire. Whatever poise she hoped to bring to their reunion was long gone as was her ability to do any more than moan and writhe under his appreciative gaze and sensual touches. Her chest was heaving from the deep, excited breaths she needed to keep her brain functioning and while she wanted to take her time and enjoy what this second chance had given them; her greedy senses over-rode that resolve and whipped her response level to a fevered pitch that could only end one way.
“Oh god Nick. Please.” she moaned in surrender to the passions that threatened to sweep her away. “I need you now.”
Her hips undulated in an age old invocation that begged for his possession and drove all conscious thought from Nick’s brain. With his fat, throbbing cock leading the way like a diving rod in search of her unique wet, heat, he used his knees to push her thighs open wide, grabbed her rolling hips in both hands and pulled her forward at the exact moment he let loose with a thunderous growl, plunging deep in one mighty thrust, sinking into the hot, creamy depths of her body.
The cry that broke from her he quickly swallowed as he plundered her mouth with his own while he held fast and still as her clutching woman’s sheath adjusted to his presence. It was a transcendent moment, rather like coming home, with Nick struggling not to let it overwhelm him.
Shannon thought she might have died and gone to heaven when his first thrust sent him deep inside her aching body to a place so pleasurable that she almost cried from the sensation of his filling her. How had she lived without this glorious sense of total surrender and connection with this giant of a man?
They clung to each other in that sumptuous bed while flying at thirty thousand feet on a journey that paled in comparison to the emotional one they were lost in. Her body wept in endless surges of creamy delight as her inner muscles tightened and released with each delicious stroke of his body inside hers.
Kissing, clutching each other close, whispering erotic words of delight and joy at their joining, they set a rhythm as old as time, riding on waves of intense excitement as they built a fire of searing heat that was leading them both to a cataclysmic finish.
Shannon’s hips rose and fell with each delicious plunge of Nick’s manhood as he churned them both into a feverish frenzy of increasing desire. Sinking deep he held perfectly still and watched her until she opened dazed eyes to look into his. He wanted her to see what he was feeling and he wanted to watch while she came around his bursting flesh.
When the first faint flutters of orgasm began rushing through her senses, Shannon’s inner muscles clenched on a ferocious spasm bringing a shudder of awareness from the man buried in her body and a groaned, “Oh dear god.” that ripped through her senses like a flash of lightning.
Crying out in helpless wonder Shannon tightened the grip of her legs around his waist and thrust herself against him over and over as a shimmering climax shattered her senses. Frantically clutching his cock with her body in time to each mighty thrust that his thundering possession wrought, Shannon arched her back and flung herself over the edge of the world when he met her climax with one of his own, spurting his heated desire deep into her womanly core.
His groans of surrender to the massive tidal wave that was his orgasm matched hers and while the tempestuous storm began to pass they didn’t back off from the sexy grinding aftermath that followed. It wasn’t enough, would never be enough and before their mingled cries had disappeared in the air; the exquisite desire they’d unleashed exploded once more as they barely lost a beat and started the whole thing all over again.
This time they did go slower, now that the initial excitement had been fed and satisfied. Shannon cried and clung to Nick’s massive body as he sent her up and over again and again until she’d come so many times she nearly passed out from the pleasure he had given her. When he finally couldn’t hold back any longer she grabbed his butt in both her hands and went wild, grinding against him when he stroked deep and sure and urging him back with each retreat. She could feel him deep inside, against her womb and hurtled to a mind-blowing completion when at last he grunted in her ear and poured himself into her seething depths as his body shook and trembled with his release.
It was a long, long time later before either of them had the strength or desire to move beyond the entwined limbs and soft languid strokes of comfort tha
t had kept them close in the aftermath of their passion.
It was Shannon who found her voice first, surprising Nick with a simple soft declaration, sighing softly, “I love you.” She hadn’t said those words yet and his joy at hearing them now knew no bounds.
Tightening his arms around her, he fought back tears, quietly adding, “I have always loved you. Always, little one” When she put her mouth to his chest in an open mouth kiss, he was pretty sure that if the world ended right then, he’d die a happy, happy man.
If they were at his home he would have hauled her off to the Jacuzzi tub for a long relaxing soak where he could enjoy her body some more by subjecting her to a thorough washing at his hands. Unfortunately, even a private jet had its limitations making a bath out of the question and a shower for two impractical in the small enclosure designed for a single person. Releasing a heavy sigh of regret Nick suggested she avail herself of the bathroom, alone.
Shannon nearly giggled at the obvious disappointment she heard in Nick’s voice when he told her they would have to shower separately. The idea of using her hands all over his massive body to wash every inch of exposed flesh was tempting indeed and she secretly envisioned a graphic montage of sensual delight which she stored away in her mind for future reference.
When she climbed off his chest where she had been contentedly curled up, he playfully swatted her rump and let her know in no uncertain terms how lucky she was that the plane’s shower was too small for him to ravish her again while heated water poured over them. Her grin and the way her eyes twinkled in delight at his choice of words made his heart sing with joy. Yes, everything was going to be alright.
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Thankfully, in Nick’s opinion, it took many hours to fly eastward so their time out of time as they hurtled through the sky allowed them the opportuity to settle in to the realization that they were very much a reunited couple. With Shannon’s surrender and their shared desire to begin anew, neither was in a hurry to see this special moment of togetherness come to an end. Day to day reality would intrude before too long but for the time being they were content to stay quietly wrapped in each other’s loving embrace until at the last they were forced to return to the main cabin to prepare for landing.
