Five Hearts Anthology

by Sandy Sullivan

  “God, you smell good. What are you wearing? I’m going to take stock in it first thing Monday morning.”

  She giggled. “It’s Seductive Serenade.”

  “Yes, it’s definitely that, but what’s the name of it?”

  The softness of his warm breath was sultry on her neck. “That is the name. You know, you’re very charming.”

  “Am I? I’m not trying to be. I’m very serious.”

  April smiled. “I think I might have had a little too much of that Cupid’s Arrow. I’m not feeling like myself right about now.”

  His hug was tighter for a moment as he spoke. “Neither am I, April, but I don’t think it has anything to do with that Cupid’s Arrow as much as the other Cupid’s arrow.”

  April blinked a few times comprehending his words. She stopped dancing and stepped back to look at him. There was no teasing in the gaze he leveled on her. The gleam that shined back at her was lust filled. Grant wanted her. She had thought he was being playfully flirtatious, but the look of intent in his gaze told the true story. The obvious flames of desire burned as clear as day those eyes, that reminded her of a clear summer sky.

  Grant’s mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something but thought against it. His lips were perfectly shaped and soft looking. The kind of lips that would singe your skin with each kiss, melt away your inhibitions and leave a woman with a burning longing for more,. April had never been kissed like that, but had always longed for it. Her body responded to the sight, her nipples tightening in her bra, her inner walls pulsed making her panties damp. Without another thought, she leaned on her toes and caught them with her own.

  Grant let out an accepting moan and returned her kiss. It was insistent and dominant. Tasting him sent tremors up and down her spine. He gripped her waist bringing her even closer to him. As the kiss deepened, her inner core was enflamed, throbbing frantically with the need to have him inside her. People continued dancing around them undisturbed by their actions as if it were normal for a couple to be kissing in the middle of the dance floor.

  April felt his want for her too, hard and strong between them pressing against her pelvis. She ground against it instinctively wanting more of it. She sensed something different about Grant. Something she saw the moment he shook her hand and looked in her eyes. He was irresistible. The sensations he created within her were impossible to ignore. They soared through her system wreaking havoc on her mind and body. April was stunned at her body’s reaction to the man. The scent of her desire for him reached her nose and she knew he could smell her also.

  April pushed him back abruptly ending the kiss, breathing like she had run a mile. She stared into his eyes and he, too, was wide eyed and breathing hard.

  “April, I’m sorry. My fault. I shouldn’t have—“

  She touched his lips. “Take me to your room, Grant.”

  Chapter Three

  They left the dance floor and were on the nineteenth floor inside his room moments later. Grant lifted April from her feet and carried her to the bed.

  “April, are you sure?” Concern filled his query. “I don’t want you to feel—“

  April touched his lips again and smiled. “Shh, you’re breaking the mood. I’m fine.”

  His gaze searched her soft brown eyes. They sparkled with growing lust. The sight excited him more. Grant leaned forward and her eyes closed when his lips met hers again. The heat from their first kiss rocked his senses burning him from the inside out. Even in his haze of want and need for her he was conscience not to move too fast. She was the one. He knew it and didn’t want to scare her away.

  Reluctantly he released her mouth, then reached to her side to unzip her dress. She gasped.

  “How did you know the zipper was on the side, Grant?” April asked in a shocked tone.

  He chuckled. “I had a feeling that it was there even though I couldn’t see it.”

  “You sound like you’ve had lots of practice undressing women,” she teased.

  “As a matter of fact, I have,” he confessed with a laughing grin. “I’m the only boy of four, my sisters are all older. Believe me, I’ve had my share of locating and unzipping strategically placed zippers.”

  April laughed as she lifted her hips to help him. The sound was light and playful. He smiled when he heard it.

  “House full of sisters huh? Well that’s good to know.”

  “Oh yeah? Why?” Slowly he slid the dress from her body.

  “Men who are raised by women have a better appreciation for the women in their lives.”

  “Mm, hmm, I would have to agree.”

  April lay on the bed in just a strapless black satin bra, black panties and black thigh high stockings. Grant took a slow breath as he feasted on her beauty. Her skin was flawless, her breast filled the bra seductively and her hips were rounded and soft. She was exquisite. He slid his hands over her legs, then suddenly chuckled.

  “What?”

  “Christmas wasn’t that long ago, you know.” He leaned forward to leave kisses over her exposed skin.

  “Yeah?”

  “I was just wondering what a man has to do to have these stockings hanging by his chimney with care next Christmas?” he asked bouncing his eyebrows with a mischievous grin.

  April laughed. “Well you’re definitely starting out right, that’s for sure. Come here,” she said and pulled him onto her.

  Together they laughed and rolled across the big king-sized bed until she was on top of him. She rose and straddled his body sitting across his waist.

  “Now, I get to do you.”

  “Oh, yes. Please do me,” he said smiling wide.

  She chuckled, then dropped a kiss on his lips. “You are too cute.”

  April undid the buttons on his shirt. She was beautiful even from his new position. He knew he could look at her for the rest of his life. She loosened his tie and pulled it away next. After opening his shirt, she ran her small hands through the hair on his chest and down his stomach. Goose bumps rose on his skin from her delicate handling.

  “You have a very nice body, Grant. Tight chest, tighter abs and I love this hair,” she said gliding her fingers over each area mentioned. “You’re a very sexy man.”

  Grant’s cock throbbed at her words. He swallowed to wet his suddenly dry mouth.

  “Thank you.”

  April smiled moving back to purposely rub her bottom against the hardness beneath his pants.

  “I think it’s time to release the beast, don’t you?”

  Grant hoped the question was rhetorical because he couldn’t find his voice to answer her at the moment. April lifted herself over his straining erection to sit across his legs. She opened his zipper and gave his pants a gentle yank, his hard-on sprang forth showing its vitality and eagerness.

  Together they stood removing the last of the other’s clothing and soon were before one another bare as the day they were born. Grant looked her over and his cock bobbed before him. The air was charged around them, the sparks of their attraction almost visible. He waited for her to make the first move, afraid he would pounce on her in his need to have her.

  Luckily he didn’t have to wait long. April reached around his neck and leaped onto him, making him catch her in his embrace. He guided her to the bed and pulled her on top of him, taking her mouth in a hungry kiss. That she engaged him just as lustfully excited him. April lifted her hips and he knew what she wanted. He adjusted his rod to an upright position and she buried his erection into her soft core. She broke the kiss with a gasp rising to sit up, sheathing him deeper within her body.

  “Oh God, Grant,” she breathed.

  He gripped her hips and felt a shiver run across her skin. Goose bumps rose beneath his fingers and her nipples tightened before his eyes. The lust filled look on her lovely features accompanied by her body’s reaction to him threatened to take him over the top instantly. April licked her lips and her head fell back as she rotated her hips, adjusting to him. Another shattered moan escape
d her. With a slow breath, she fell forward to grip his shoulders. Her eyes were still closed and her full lips were parted. The sight entranced Grant.

  She moved slowly at first, but as the slickness of her tunnel increased so did her movement. April groaned aloud at each downward thrust. The sound sent shudders up Grant’s spine. He slid his hands over her soft brown skin, trailing them down her back, across her full hips and up her front to caress each breast. She was velvety smooth, extremely sensual and so very sexy.

  April found her rhythm bouncing her ass over his staff and something caught fire within him. Her slender fingers tweaked his nipples increasing his pleasure ten-fold. His head spun like he was caught in a cyclone. A tidal wave of ecstasy lifted him higher increasing his journey to bliss.

  Grant had never felt the way this woman made him feel! April was incredible! The feel of her, the way her body moved over him, the sounds she made, her scent! He held on to her hips sliding her back and forth then up and down encouraging her more. Her efforts caused him to scream unashamed and loud.

  April’s blazing tunnel teased the head of his lance over and over just before she swallowed him whole. It was glorious. He wanted to have as much of his staff inside her as he could get. Ecstasy built within at volcanic proportions. He couldn’t stand it another moment. One of his heads would explode soon if he didn’t regain some control quickly. With an animalistic sound he hardly recognized as his own, Grant reached around her waist and flipped her over. A startled yelp came from her, but she didn’t seem displeased.

  The strength and passion behind his actions surprised Grant as well, but it had to be done. Looking up into April’s sensual face, as the scent of their love making hung in the air and her lovely breasts bobbed tantalizingly before his eyes, the sight would’ve taken him over the edge much sooner than he was ready. That wasn’t how he wanted their encounter to end. Already he prayed they would be together like this again, for a lifetime if she left the decision to him. He would have to pleasure her beyond measure if the option was to become a reality. That was his main focus.

  Grant stroked her heated walls with firm deliberate movements, digging deeper each time, slowing down the pace. A shiver of delight danced down his spine leaving goose bumps in its wake. It was magnificent. With every back and forth motion, Grant knew he had to have this woman, to make her his own. From the comfortable way they were with each other, the playful banter that came naturally to the passionate sounds and insistent thrusts beneath him, it all pushed him closer to Heaven’s gates. April was special. Hearing her whimpers of pleasure knowing he caused them drove him to frenzy.

  “April…Oh my God!”

  He drove faster giving in to the raging bliss building inside him, unable to stop or slow it. Grant bit his lip as he delved into her again and again. He couldn’t get enough of her! His head fell forward to look into her exquisite lust-filled face.

  “Open your eyes, sweetheart. I want to see you when you come,” he demanded breathlessly.

  Her eyes sprang open filled with the fire of her desire. An uncontrolled inferno burned brightly inside them. Grant was consumed by the amber flames, drawn to the blazing light he saw. It called to his soul. He opened himself to what he saw and a portal into her being was offered to him.

  Grant continued to pierce her with his erection in frantic abandon until they fell over the edge together screaming in combined rapture. His body exploded in a blaze of internal combustion. The sensation shook him almost violently as his seed was pulled from him. Exhausted, Grant collapsed on top of her and they both lay quietly gasping for air. When his heart rate finally began to slow, Grant rolled off her. He gathered April into his arms and held her fiercely close, drowning in the afterglow that was new to him.

  * * * *

  April lay in Grant’s arms with a feeling of complete contentment. It was a new sensation. His body molded behind her, fitting perfectly. The hair on his chest was velvety soft against her back. His arm rested over her waist as he held her almost lovingly. She wiggled her fingers noticing they were laced with his and swallowed a sigh.

  How could it feel so right with a man I just met?

  But it did. His touch, his smell, the feel of him against her, in her and on her was all fairytale-like perfection. April wished they could stay as they were, but she knew they couldn’t. The real world was right outside the door and it demanded their presence whether she wanted to go or not.

  “Grant—” she started softly.

  “I know,” he replied interrupting her. “We have to go.”

  She nodded. “Yeah.”

  “Something strange just happened to me, April. Something wonderfully strange, that I have never felt before. I—I just don’t want it to end so soon.” He nuzzled her shoulder. “Does it have to?”

  Grant hugged her close, his arms circling her protectively. April melted into his embrace and sighed.

  I don’t want it to end either, but yes, it does have to end.

  The experience with Grant was amazing to be sure, but April refused to slip into denial on what it really was—a one-night stand with a hot guy at a hotel party. She simply let herself get carried away by Grant’s extreme sexiness and willingness to give her an orgasm that wasn’t self induced.

  “April, I love you.”

  She gasped softly and stiffened at his announcement.

  “I know that probably sounds like a line to you, but I do.”

  April turned over to face him, but she didn’t reply. Grant pulled her closer.

  “Do you believe in love at first sight? I do and I love you,” he continued without waiting for an answer. “I knew it the moment I laid eyes on you. You’re special.”

  April pressed her lips together. This was not what she expected. One-night stands don’t end with declarations of love. She turned away from his burning stare, but he gripped her chin with his thumb and forefinger returning her gaze to him.

  “I’m not crazy. I know what I feel. I don’t want this to end.”

  His last words had finality in them, but April knew better. Good sex will make a man say anything for another round of the same. She caressed his face and let a knowing smile spread across her lips.

  “Let’s just see how we feel when we’re not holding each other naked in the afterglow of wonderful sex, okay?”

  Grant gave her a small smile, removed her hand from his cheek and kissed her palm. “I’m still going to feel the same way, April. This is not great sex talking for me. I’ve had that before. What I’m feeling is unique.”

  “Let’s just see anyway.”

  He nodded with a defeated sigh, then let her go. April sat up on the edge of the bed for a moment. She felt cold and lonely outside of his arms and was reluctant to leave him.

  “I’m going to take a shower.” She looked over her shoulder at him. “You want to wash my back?”

  His elated smile warmed her heart. Grant took her outreached hand and together they walked to the bathroom. In the shower, she watched the water run over Grant’s muscular body. The hair on his head and his chest laid slick from its weight. April lathered her hands and slowly washed his chest playing in the whorls. She moved down to the rippling muscles of his stomach, wiping, playing, cleansing. Reapplying more soap, April moved to his sleeping member carefully stroking it back to life, from the base to the impressive ruby head she had seen earlier. It grew in her skilled hands and soon was back to its former glory.

  Grant stepped out of her reach for a second, back under the water to rinse off and returned to her, pressing her against the shower wall. All thoughts of leaving him to return to the party left her mind as his growing erection teased the junction between her legs with the promise of bringing her more pleasure.

  April held onto the shower pole. In the back of her mind she prayed that between the rough little fish on the bottom of the tub and the pole itself, they wouldn’t fall and break their necks.

  Grant held her against the wall. His hands and lips were all over her b
ody. If it hadn’t been for the water spraying at her from a distance cooling her heated skin April was sure she would have burst into flames. Just his kisses and touch alone sparked several mini orgasms within her. He was on his way to bringing her to another very large one, but he slowed to a stop.

  His muscular arms lifted her with ease. Grant positioned her to the right spot easily holding her in place and sliding her onto his jutting erection. She didn’t have to do a thing but hold on for the ride. And what a ride! He filled her completely. She felt every inch of him sliding in and out of her as he moved her up and down. Her sensitive nipples brushed teasingly against the hair on his chest. It wasn’t long before the two acts together set off an explosion inside of her that left her body spent and her mind reeling.

  Grant felt as hard as ever inside her when the spasms stopped. She knew he could easily have her on that wall coming again and again before he was done with her, but he had mercy on her. She gripped the bar breathing hard barely able to hold on as he pumped into her, coming shortly after she did. After a while April released the pole, Grant held her against his body until she caught her breath. When she eased her feet to the tub again, Grant backed up pulling his spent member from her. Grant stepped under the water and washed quickly. She reached around him to get a cloth to do the same, but he stopped her.

  “Please, let me.”

  His hand slipped under the warm running stream to soap the cloth, then Grant softly washed his essence from April’s body. She enjoyed watching his eyes widened as the water rushed over her breast when she rinsed off. Together they left the bathroom and hugged one last time. The reality that their time together was finally up seemed to hit them both at the same time. April saw the sadness in his lovely blue eyes when she kissed him once more. They took a moment to dry each other off, then redressed to return to the party.
