I survey her front side. Looking for any spots I may have missed. And I crawl back up to lightly trace my fingers over her face, her ears. And then lastly the pits of her arms. She laughs outright at that one. Delight and maybe a little bit of chagrin cross her face when I lower my face down and smell her there. God, she smells good. Pheromones and sex and sweaty hot woman.
And then I flip her over again, more gently this time. Some of the urgency is gone. But the intensity isn’t. I run my hands over her hair, spilling like a pool of fire over the bed. My hands are rough, skimming along her back, the delicate equator of her spine. Then her glorious ass. I didn’t worship at the altar of that particular holiness quite enough this time. There’s always next time.
In the meantime, I knead the globes of her rear, run my fingers through the crack of her ass. She squeaks a little. But she lets me. And then it’s back down her legs, once more, just for kicks. And because she has damn fine legs.
I lean back and survey her again. The panic inside me is almost entirely quelled. I’ve touched her everywhere. Every single square inch of her. Erasing the touch of other men. Lesser men. Men who hadn’t even gone down on her.
I roll her onto her side and reach up to undo her bonds. I’ve got more in mind, and she can’t be tied up for it. She’s putty in my hands. She’s not going to try to get away from me tonight. I can tell. And if she tried, I’d find her. I’d have to. Before Esposito did.
I swallow back the rage that hits me at the mere thought of his name. That rat bastard. And I concentrate on her face. Her gorgeous face. Her sweet, trusting, sated face. Her forest green eyes are giving me these slow, sleepy kitten blinks and it twists something inside me.
Something that flicks on like a match at a thought. “Why would you sleep with men who wouldn’t even go down on you?” I ask her, rubbing the delicate skin of her wrists to erase the feeling of the ropes. And then I rub her fingers to erase the last remaining touch memory of any other man.
She shrugs a shoulder, her eyes still half open, half closed. “The first time, I guess I was just curious. You know, sex is everywhere in archaeology. All of science, really. But I felt like everywhere I turned, I saw more evidence of how important it was. And I didn’t know anything about it. So I found someone to introduce me to the mystery.”
I blink at her. “You lost your virginity out of scientific curiosity?”
“It’s reasonable!” she insists, a stubborn flash icing her gaze.
“Very reasonable,” I agree, but she doesn’t get the joke. Maybe she doesn’t quite realize yet that sex with me is never in a million years going to be reasonable. But she will get it. Soon. “And the second time?” I ask.
“I was on a dig in Argentina, and we were trying to find someone who knew the area to be our guide, but it was about 100 miles on foot that we were going to have to backpack, so nobody wanted to do it. Our team ended up killing time in this little town for almost two weeks while we searched. And there was this guy. And I guess I just didn’t really have anything better to do.” She catches my eye. Her look is confident. Cool. But I can tell she’s trying to gauge my reaction.
“So no sweeping romances or high school sweethearts,” I say, not even trying to hide the fact that I’m glad about it.
She shakes her head and for a second drops her eyes. I’m about to lift her chin, get her gaze back, but she looks back up at me just in time. “Honestly, whatever dominant-territory-marking-He-Man-me-Tarzan-caveperson spell you just cast weirdly worked. I can barely even remember their faces.”
The last remaining dregs of my earlier mania melt away. “Don’t try,” I growl. “They don’t exist. They never existed. I was there. Then. It was me. If you have to remember it, picture me.”
Her eyes heat, but she gives a little chuckle. “I don’t think you want to take credit for their handiwork. It wasn’t very impressive. Not compared to,” she pauses, searching for the words. “Whatever the hell that just was.”
“They don’t have a word for it,” I say and stand up out of the bed. I lean down and lift her up into my arms. She gives a little squeak but her hands automatically go to my shoulders, her legs hooking around my waist. Her wet core presses into my stomach and it nearly causes us to detour right back to the bed.
But I’m not sure exactly how much she can handle tonight. I don’t know her well enough to know her limits yet. But that’ll change. The thought nearly stops me in my tracks. This woman has got me all confused. I don’t think about the future with women. I don’t think about getting to know them.
There’s only one woman in the entire world, besides my mother and sister, that I truly know. Alessia. My stomach curdles as I think of her. What she would think of me if she knew what I’d just done. Had dirty, kinky sex with a stranger. With a woman I’m basically extorting for God’s sake. Alessia would have my head. She’d literally twist my ear until I begged for mercy. She doesn’t take shit from anybody, but especially me.
I turn the corner into the bathroom, and catch sight of us in the bathroom mirror. Row pressed against my chest, wrapped around me, resting the side of her head on my shoulder. I immediately push Alessia’s face from my mind. I don’t want her in my head right now. Not when I have another woman naked in my arms. No, that’s not quite right. She doesn’t belong in my mind when Row is naked in my arms. Weirdly, it feels like Alessia is intruding when I think of her. I nuzzle my nose into Row’s hair as I carry her the rest of the way into the bathroom. Tonight is a night for firsts for both of us, I guess.
Even though I’ve just taken a shower, she hasn’t. So I turn the water on and step right in. She stiffens and yelps as the cold water whips over us, but I just laugh. She scratches and claws her way up my body, trying to get out of the cold spray. But I hold her still, liking the way she feels wiggling against me.
But then, she goes very still. Her energy has completely changed. Like the cold water shocked her back into reality. She stops clamboring against me. She stops making noise. She’s just numb, dead weight in my arms.
The water is warming up now. So I put her down and lift her chin up. I want to see her eyes. She looks at me and what I see chills me. She’s closed off. Somewhere else. The satisfied, trusting look she was giving me earlier is nowhere to be seen. She doesn’t back away from me, but she may as well have. The night must be catching up to her. The adrenaline is wearing off. Now she’s realizing who she’s with. And what she did with him.
Well, fuck that.
I harden my grip on her chin and her eyes are flinging back to mine again.
“On your knees,” I growl.
Her eyes narrow, then heat. She pauses, a second longer than I’d like her to, but she does it. She goes down to her knees in front of me, the warm shower water swirling around her.
I reach down and brush the wet hair out of her eyes, making sure she’s looking at me. “This is not the time for calculating and doubting, Row. You’re not to pick apart what’s just happened or try to figure out what to do next,” I tell her as I lace my fingers through her hair.
Her mouth comes open slightly and I can tell this is turning her on. Getting directions from me while she kneels in front me, my naked cock just inches from her face. Her eyes glance at it and then back up to my face. Blood pumps through my body, pooling in my stiff, heavy cock.
“Right now, all you need to think about is that you’re gonna get your hair washed. And then you’re gonna get fucked in the shower.”
Now she’s panting and her legs are spreading apart underneath her. Her hand twitches where it rests on her thigh and it gives me an idea.
“Why don’t you take that hand and show me your pretty little pussy,” I say.
Her eyes flare and she immediately drops her hand to herself, parting her lips with two fingers. I have pretty much the most incredible view ever. Her big green eyes, dark with lust, her parted mouth, panting for me. Then down to her perfect little breasts, pink and standing right up. The water sluices down her s
tomach, giving me the perfect view of her pussy. The most gorgeous raspberry color I’ve ever seen. My mouth waters.
She pauses there, parting herself for me. Not going any further until I give her the next instruction. This pleases me. This makes me want to reward her over and over again.
“Are you wet for me, Row?” My voice is a low husk, barely audible over the sound of the shower.
One finger disappears into her pussy and she immediately nods. “Yes.”
I reach up on the shelf for the shampoo and put some into my hands. “Show me how you get yourself off,” I say to her and start massaging the shampoo into her scalp.
Her thumb slowly circles her clit while two fingers dip inside herself and back out. Inside and back out. This is why I love women. A man sees a pussy and he just wants to devour it. Swallow it whole. Plunge into softness. But women, they’re so much gentler.
Her hips start to rise and fall against her hand, but still it’s soft on soft as she starts to make little gasping noises.
I’m thorough, working the shampoo through to the ends of her hair. And when I lean forward, my fully erect cock strokes against her cheek. Row’s eyes flutter open and then go impossibly dark when she sees what’s right in front of her. Her hands starts to work faster against herself as she lets out another gasp. This time, she keeps her mouth open for just a second, and I feel her tongue, feather soft, on the tip of my cock.
My hands tighten, for just a second, in her hair before I loosen them. But then she does it again. And this time her lips close around the head. I know that if she does that one more time, I’m a goner. She’s a goner. We’re all gone. Over the cliff’s edge of my sanity. So I wrap my fist into her hair and pull her off my dick.
Her eyes flutter up to mine but I leave my face calm, neutral, as I tip her head back into the water flow. I’m careful to keep the soap out of her eyes as I rinse her hair clean. My fingers are soft and everywhere over her scalp and it isn’t long before she’s moaning, not because of her hand between her legs, but because of my hands on her head.
And then she’s clean. And my patience is up. She squeaks when I yank her up to her feet, her hands fluttering automatically to my shoulders. I grab her by the backs of her legs and hoist her up around my waist. One arm anchors her around her hips and the other hand I slam against the shower wall, steadying us.
“Condom,” I grit out through my teeth. “On the sink.”
She pulls back the shower curtain and reaches over for it, ripping it and twisting around to put it on me behind her back. I’m actually pretty impressed. But then, there’s no time to think any more. Because she turns back to me and lowers herself, gently, over just the head of my cock. The feeling is so incredible I clamp down my entire body against it. But that’s not how this goes.
I tighten my grip on her and slam her down on me, making her take me all at once. We both groan. She’s the slick hot heaven I never knew existed. Her breasts are crushed against me, her legs are like a vice around my hips. Her fingers grip my back so hard I know she’s bruising me. Everything balances on the edge of pain and ecstasy. It’s the best I’ve ever felt in my life.
I lift her up with my arm around her waist and slam her back down again. This time she outright screams and I hope the walls are thick enough. Or else our neighbors are gonna think she’s getting murdered in here. But I don’t care. I want to make her do that again. So I swivel my hips and slam her back down again.
This time, she’s gotten the rhythm, so she clamps her legs even harder around my waist and lifts herself up on me. This time, when I bring my hips up, she brings hers down and there’s an explosive friction.
“Oh, god. Kennedy,” she moans, her head falling back, her eyes wide and unseeing.
“That’s right,” I growl in her ear. “Take it.”
I punctuate my statement with a particularly punishing thrust and her body goes tight, tensing in pleasure.
“Yes, please. More. More.” She’s moaning and no longer riding me. She’s tipped her pelvis toward me and is just taking and taking everything I’m giving her. Which is every inch of my cock. Over and over again.
I stroke her hard again and this time her mouth comes open on another scream and one of her hands darts out, looking for purchase on something solid. She grabs the shower curtain and rips it right off the runner. She tosses it aside and glares at me, fire and lust in her eyes.
“I need,” she moans. “I need.”
I tip her back and thrum my thumb over her clit, still bracing her with my other hand around her waist. She needs to come. I can feel it vibrating through her in every way.
“I need,” she moans again.
“Tell me,” I command her and her eyes instantly fly open on the command.
“You,” she whispers.
And I’m gone. All humanity flies out the window. If I was a human, it was in another life. Another world. I’ve got this woman here, wet hot pussy wrapped around my cock. Moaning about how much she needs me. The world is a rushing wind around me. I wouldn’t remember my own name if she asked me. I grip her even harder, with both hands this time, and we’re stumbling out of the shower. The seconds blur and I’m carrying her, cock still buried inside her, across the bathroom floor and out to the main room. I pull her up off my cock, even though it makes me want to shoot myself in the foot for it. I toss her backwards on the bed and she lands with a soft bounce.
“On your knees,” I tell her for the second time that night.
She instantly scrambles up onto her knees, her hair a dark red slick down her back, water droplets flinging everywhere.
I cross my arms over my chest. “Beg me for it,” I say.
Her eyes heat up so hot they smoke. She likes this idea.
“Please, Kennedy. Please.”
Whether she knows it or not, she’s working her hips up and down on the bed, in the exact rhythm that she wants me to give it to her.
“That was so pretty,” I say. “Let me hear it again.”
“Please, Kennedy. Please fuck me. I need y-”
But before the words are even the rest of the way out of her mouth, I’ve bowled her over, pushed her over backwards and pinned her to the mattress. And then I’m inside her, thrusting like a madman. She screams again, her fingernails ripping into my back. And she’s tensing and clamping down and screaming my name and God’s name and every curse under the sun as her pussy squeezes the life out of my cock.
But I’m not done yet, I’m still slamming into her, my feet gripping for purchase as the bed starts to inch across the floor with each thrust. Thrusts so hard I know she’s gonna walk funny tomorrow. But she just grips me back. Just as hard, her hands leaving bruises on my shoulders. Her mouth, hot and angry, on mine. She’s everywhere on me. Her legs twisting around my hips. Her hands on my hair, my back, my neck, my ass. And her smell fills the air around me. Even fresh from the shower her smell is everywhere, like wind and pussy and something just so her.
And then she tenses again. And I can’t hold on any longer. Her pussy grabs me like a fist and I come and come and come. Like it’s my job. Like it’s my last day on earth. My last meal. Like I’m a soldier headed off to war. I’ve never come so hard in my entire life.
And even when I’m done, when I’m softening inside her, I’m still thrusting. Like I can’t stop. Like I have to be closer to her. But she’s limp as a sheet in the breeze underneath me. Her arms are flat against the bed, her eyes are closed, her hair is spread in a fan under her. She’s utterly exhausted.
I plant a nipping kiss on her neck and pull out of her. I swoop her up off the bed and carry her back into the bathroom. I step over the fallen shower curtain and back into the shower with her, since it’s still going.
“We’re wasting water,” she mumbles up to me and it makes me grin.
“You’re such a dork,” I tell her, nipping her neck again.
“Your grandchildren will thank me,” she says, perking up a little over the prospect of an argument
over the wasting of the earth’s resources.
“Can you stand?” I ask her, wanting to get her washed up.
“Of course,” she says, but when I stand her up, her knees buckle a tiny bit. She grips my shoulders and ignores my cocky grin.
I know she can’t handle much more tonight. In fact, she’s about to crash completely. So my movements are strictly utilitarian as I drag the bar soap all over her body and then mine. I don’t particularly want to wash the pussy off of me, but she’s right about wasting water. And this will save me one in the morning.
In no time at all, I’m lifting her out of the shower and toweling her off. I’m not really sure what the hell to do with a girl’s hair, but she takes the question out of my hands when she takes the towel from me and gently squeezes her hair with it.
