Lifting his hardened cock away from his body she touched the twin spheres below, noting his groaning response. He liked that. So did she. Using the fingers of one hand to cup his balls, she massaged them gently while her other hand continued its firm grip on his staff, sliding from root to tip, marveling at the smooth skin encasing the throbbing hardness. He was a looker from any position but from this intimate angle, he was nothing short of magnificent.
He ground out her name, “Victoria,” in a strangled voice that let her know she was on the right track. More grateful than surprised, Tori learned the strokes and pressure that he liked when Draegyn reached one trembling hand to cover hers. She supposed it was a measure of her inexperience that she was so shaken by the strength of the grip he demonstrated. Who knew that a hard cock reacted so favorably to such tight pressure? Well, she hadn’t before but she certainly did now, making her double down on the firm strokes that made him quiver and moan.
Rather liking the view, Tori was transfixed by the appearance of a clear bead of fluid that appeared on the plump head of his sex. Ooohh, I like that. Had she said that out loud? She didn’t care. It was the truth although in his current state, she doubted Draegyn would make much sense of anything that came out of her mouth.
Using a single finger she scraped it across the tip of his cock, capturing the liquid proof of his arousal. Keeping a firm grip on him she lifted the finger to her mouth as her gaze lifted to his face. He was watching through half-closed eyes that burned her with icy intensity. Licking her finger clean with a moan, she bent her head toward his straining flesh and placed an open mouth kiss where her finger had just swiped. Before she could draw away, he tangled a hand in her hair. Opening her mouth, she lowered it over the bulbous head and let her tongue lap at the underside of his cock. When Draegyn nearly jack-knifed off the chaise she sucked on the weeping tip like a lollipop while he groaned and shook, still gripping her head.
“Oh God, babe. Have to stop. You don’t know what you’re doing to me.” His words didn’t match the pressure he was exerting on the placement and movement of her head. His hips started to shimmy, searching for the perfect angle as she squeezed tight and continued sucking on his staff. It was slightly shocking to realize the pleasure was not all his. Tori discovered she rather liked the way he felt in her hands and against her lips. Daring to go further she lowered her head, taking more and more of his cock into her mouth. Pretty soon his groans were punctuated with ravenous, greedy moans rumbling up from deep in her core. With one hand gripping the arm of the chaise until his knuckles turned white while the other continued to encourage the movement of her head as she gobbled eagerly at his sex, Tori never missed a beat, just kept sucking him deep only to occasionally stop to swirl her tongue around the swollen head.
“Victoria,” he groaned. “Stop.” His legs quivered and his hips started to buck up into her mouth. She understood biology. Knew she was driving him to the edge and briefly considered backing off before she ended up taking him the whole way to orgasm when she wasn’t sure what to do in such an eventuality. But in the end, whatever primitive longing she’d been satisfying belonged to both of them, making this so much more than a simple blow job. No. She wanted all of it. Wanted to devour him in every way she could.
Her fingers found their way back to the rounded balls that felt firm and swollen to her inexperienced touch. Fondling them while she stroked his huge cock with her other hand in tandem with the rise and fall of her mouth, she felt saliva escape her lips, as murmurs of earthy delight mixed with the sound of her slurping at his sex.
Is this really happening, she wondered? Did she actually have Draegyn St. John’s hard dick literally stuffed in her mouth? She shivered at the thought. Her lips felt stretched and swollen as they moved again and again along his shaft. Occasionally, eagerness made her gag when she went too far but even that seemed exciting and rather than cause her to back off, she’d make that ‘mmmm’ noise that signified how awesome he felt in her mouth and just keep going. The feel of him sliding against her tongue was almost indescribable and more pleasurable than she thought possible.
When the fingers teasing his balls touched a spot that made him groan louder, she experimented with lowering her head, squeezing the base of his cock and pressing against his tender flesh until he started bucking his hips while pressing on her head forcing her to take the full measure of him whether she gagged or not. It was wild and unbridled, with her sucking on him like his cock would be the last thing she ever tasted and him thrashing about while she milked a climax from him with no shame.
She knew the moment he lost control, when nothing could have prompted him to ease his hardness from her plundering mouth. Feeling his dick pulse along her tongue was a revelation of sorts. It was so sexy, so perfect, as he surged up over and over with a loud growl erupting in the silence. She even liked the way his hand grabbed her hair and held her mouth on his exploding staff.
Hot streams of fluid hit the back of her throat as she sucked him dry. It was more thrilling than she ever imagined and she’d imagined quite a lot where Draegyn was concerned. Nothing about what just happened was a turn-off. Quite the contrary. Tori had been gripped with rapturous delight. Continuing to softly stroke him in the aftermath, she licked his softening cock, well-pleased with her efforts.
Drae was stunned. She’d dealt him a knock-out blow with her wicked mouth and questing fingers. No stranger to a well-performed blow job, he’d never, ever experienced anything as exciting as her mouth, shy at first and then bolder and bolder, sucking him to a thundering orgasm that left him helplessly emptying his balls into her insatiable mouth.
Being a gentleman meant he at least tried to halt her oral offensive but in the end, she managed to fire him up to such an extent that any attempt to stop the inevitable had been pathetic at best. He’d been fantasizing about those lips of hers wrapped around his hard dick from practically the moment they met but nothing in his vast experience had prepared him for the reality of her perfect pout stretching around his hardness. The last time they’d fucked, he thought he’d never known such an explosive orgasm. He was wrong. The way she’d so perfectly sucked him off was the single most enjoyable and deeply satisfying climax he’d experienced. Ever.
He couldn’t move in the aftermath, not a single muscle. It didn’t help things that she’d barely backed off once he exploded in her mouth, continuing to stroke his shaft, leaving soft, wet kisses along his length and across his stomach. There was something powerfully satisfying about her face nuzzling the hair of his groin. Drae couldn’t recall a time when a thought such as that had ever occurred to him. Being with Victoria was like opening Pandora’s Box. Her innocent ravishment of his much more experienced body was like wandering into a new world, one with far-reaching consequences that were scaring the holy shit out of him.
Her hand still possessively wrapped around his cock as if she was loath to release him, she lifted onto the chaise and stretched alongside him. “Are you mad at me?” she whispered in a voice stretched thin with uncertainty.
“God. No,” he growled, as he finally found the strength to move enough to wrap an arm around her waist so he could hug her close. “Why would you think that?”
“You’re not saying anything. Did I do it wrong, Draegyn? Please tell me,” she stuttered.
He almost laughed. There they were, she fully dressed and him with his pants down around his ankles with her gripping his dick like it was a lifeline, and she wanted to know if she did it wrong. Jesus Christ. How could he possibly explain to her how fucking right she’d been from start to finish?
Reaching for her hand, he gently pried it away from his half-swollen flesh and brought her trembling fingers to his mouth. Pressing a kiss to the center of her palm, he laid her exquisitely delicate hand upon his chest, where he hoped she could detect the way his heart still hammered. “You’d never done anything like that before, am I right?”
She turned her face into his neck and shook her head. “It’s not s
omething I ever wanted to do. I,” she hesitated, “I, um, couldn’t help myself.” He enjoyed the way she murmured against his skin almost as much as he delighted in what the words meant. A sudden overpowering sense of possessiveness grabbed hold of him at the mere thought of her mouth ever touching another man the way she had him.
“There was nothing, absolutely nothing, wrong about what you did, honey. Nothing. If I’m being quiet it’s because I just wish I’d shown a bit more restraint and not let things get so out of hand. Coming in your mouth was not my intention, I swear.”
Her head popped up at his words and searched his face with a confused frown. “But I wanted you to. Was that wrong? I thought you’d like that and, well…to be honest, I liked it too. Maybe too much?” That she made her last statement into a question tore at his emotions. She was so open with him. So honest. It wasn’t what he was used to. He couldn’t ever remember a woman telling him she liked giving oral sex. Not unless there was something in it for her. Victoria admitting that she liked having him in her mouth was almost too much for him to handle.
“C’mon,” he said, rising them both to sitting position. “Let’s take this conversation inside.” She scrambled off the chaise to give him room to yank up his jeans and tug his shirt back into place. Taking her hand, he pulled her alongside him and ushered her silently into the house.
Drae was acutely aware that they were in way over their heads. One minute they’d been talking about how to pull the plug on their unusual union and the next they’d been frantically pawing each other. She also hadn’t been all that happy with him if her body language and tone were anything to go by. To make matters worse, the thundering orgasm he’d just experienced, far from having satisfied the almost unbearable desire he felt for her, was only making him want more. More of her shy amazement at the explosive way their bodies reacted to each other.
Forcing his mind to turn away from the impulse to strip her naked and drop her to the floor where she stood so he could lose himself in her deliciously tight, wet, heat was an almost impossible task. How the hell could he talk reasonably to her about divorce when his libido was feverishly working overtime to get into her panties?
The word divorce had the same effect on his senses as an iceberg. He might want to fuck her senseless but the little matter of an unforeseen marriage was complicating things. He couldn’t continue to avail himself of her body while making plans to distance himself from her legally. Damn. This was such a God-awful mess.
The only thing to do was be direct and stop behaving like a teenager unable to control himself around a beautiful, desirable woman. It wasn’t fair to Victoria, no matter how conflicted his feelings were at the moment. Having her warm and willing in his bed was one thing. Being married to her was another thing entirely. Although it made him feel like a dick, he had to stop this thing in its tracks before any more damage was done.
“Victoria,” he murmured. She turned hopeful brown eyes his way as she fumbled with putting her sandals back on. Her face was highlighted with a disarming rosy blush that reminded him how wrong their present circumstance was. She simply wasn’t the type to have a sexual relationship without the promise of deeper emotions coming into play. Not with him and from what she’d told him about her romantic past, not with anybody.
Drae sighed deeply, boldly blurting out a ramble of words that seemed wholly out of place considering what had just past between them. “We can’t keep doing this. It’s not right. You’re a wonderful girl, and you deserve somebody who can be more than I ever could.”
Tori snatched her hand away from his grasp when the words he’d just thrown at her sank in. Oh my God, she thought. He was rejecting her, after everything they’d done, he was telling her it meant nothing to him. How could she be so stupid? With his illustrious sexual history suddenly hanging over every word and action, he was letting her know she was nothing but one face out of hundreds. Maybe thousands. She thought she might get sick. Ten minutes ago she’d been on her knees with his dick poking at the back of her throat. Hearing him say they couldn’t keep doing this turned her inside out. This? What they were doing was just a form of this? Covering her mouth with her hand she could only keep silently repeating, Oh my God, Oh my God. She had to get out of there, and she had to get as far away from him as she could.
Finding the courage and nerve to turn the tables on his egotistical ass was no small feat but a lifetime of standing up for herself in the face of cruel taunts came to good use. She might be short, and she might not be a sex goddess, but she was nobody’s fool. He was about to find that out.
“You’re right, of course,” she sniped with no attempt to hide the hurt she felt. “This whole thing has been an epic disaster.” Without so much as missing a beat, Tori made her way back to his front door before he had a chance to react.
“Let’s just chalk this up to your er…impressive history combined with my foolish inexperience. It’s not every day that a girl gets a chance to bang a bona fide sex machine, Draegyn,” she sneered.
Her hand on the doorknob, she blindly continued, oblivious to the expression on his face or the tears gathering behind her eyes. “It’s best that we avoid each other after this stunning loss of decorum, don’t you think? You do whatever you think is right about ending this farce. I don’t care one way or the other.”
Yanking the door open with more force than necessary, she flinched when it slammed against the wall. “And don’t worry about the pregnancy thing. I’m sure it’s not going to be a problem and even if it is, I wouldn’t bother you with the details, or want you involved in any way, come to think of it. After all, you have a reputation to protect. I hear your I can’t be married bullshit loud and clear.”
Stepping out onto the porch she let loose one final withering comment. “You’re so fucking full of yourself Draegyn St. John. Maybe it would do you good to remember that this situation was a two-way street and not a one-lane path. As much as you don’t want to be married, I don’t want to be tied to a man with the emotional depth of a thimble.”
For parting shots, that was the best one she could muster. Just like when she’d marched away from him after the car ride from the airport, so too did she again as he barked after her. “Victoria! You can’t walk half a mile in the dark”
Dammit. He was right. Hiking from the main compound down the winding road to his house had been one thing in the daylight. It was an act of folly to wander the desert, even along a roadway, in the pitch dark. With head held high, Tori turned and stomped back up onto the porch. “Give me your keys,” she snarled.
“I’ll drive you.”
“Oh no,” she ground out. “I’m through being taken for a ride by you. Give me. Your. Keys. Now!” The hand she held out wanted so badly to slap him across the face.
Draegyn stared at her, his eyes dark slits above a mouth drawn in a thin line. She didn’t miss the way his jaw tensed as he considered the hand demanding he surrender his keys. The look she gave in return dared him to say another word at his own peril.
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a key ring and dropped it without another word into the palm of her hand. Tori quickly glanced at the insignia on the ring, noted that he’d given her the key to his SUV, turned and skipped down the steps walking briskly to the big, black beast of a vehicle and climbed in. Seconds later she drove into the darkness and away from the insufferable man who she’d been foolish enough to fall for as he stood on his front porch and watched her disappear into the darkness.
Drae couldn’t pack his bags and get the hell away from the Villa fast enough. After Victoria marched off into the darkness in high dungeon the previous night, he’d polished off most of a bottle of really expensive whiskey trying to erase their ugly confrontation from his mind. It hadn’t worked, of course.
Whether the memory of her indignation at his clumsy attempt to cool things down or the vivid scene etched forever in his brain of her licking and stroking his dick, both had the power to reduce him to a tangled mess of co
nflicting emotions.
She’d landed quite a few direct hits to his ego and his sense of self. She was right on one thing. He hadn’t really considered anyone but himself. It didn’t require a map to figure out that had been the fatal flaw in how he’d handled everything. Victoria was a power unto herself. Unique and without guile, she wasn’t anything like the hoards of women he’d been consorting with his whole life. Women like his cold, calculating mother. By limiting his involvement to an endless parade of experienced females, all possessing a keen eye for the prize, he’d been able to cling to his belief that relationships were a sham and something best left to others.
When she’d told him in no uncertain terms that he wasn’t man enough to be privy to whether he’d gotten her pregnant or not, his heart seized up and hadn’t relaxed since. Seemed like something of a low blow but considering his reputation, he couldn’t blame her for feeling that way. That didn’t mean he wasn’t gutted by the knowledge that she’d vanish into thin air if she was carrying his child and would probably head for the hills even if she wasn’t.
Despite a raging hangover, an unexpected early morning call with a request to provide personal security for a visiting foreign dignitary could not have come at a better time. Even though it wasn’t like him, he was eager to run as far as he could get. Put a bit of distance between him and Victoria. And Alex of course. With his old friend knowing the truth about his and Victoria’s messy situation, he hadn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of pretending everything was fine. It seemed like the best thing all around for him to get out of the line of fire until things calmed down or he found a way to handle the mess without making things worse.
