Tempted: A Secret Mountain Man Romance

by Anna Wild

  “Thank you.” Tim spoke, turning to her. “You’ve been a lot of help.”

  “What would I do without you, Mona?” Josephine wondered.

  “You kids take care.” Mona winked at her. “Goodnight.”

  “So, you: a firefighter, huh?” Josephine asked. “When did you think of that?”

  “Yeah,” he admitted. “A friend gave me an idea. Do you still want to go to…”

  “I’m not going anywhere,” she interrupted. “Everything I want is right here.”

  “So, where to, doc?” Tim said, his voice raspy, as he caressed her back.

  “Wherever you would like, Mr. Firefighter,” Josephine laughed; “Wherever you would like.”

  Chapter Thirty-Three

  Tim was still unable to wrap his head around the fact that a simple gesture like that had obviously changed Josephine’s mind and convinced her to stay. But, he would not complain and would definitely not start a conversation about it. This was not a moment to analyze things. They were together again; that was all that mattered.

  Having missed her touch all these days, his initial thought was to take her to bed. Still, there was something that Tim Shaw had never experienced: a real date with someone that he cared about. Therefore, he drove Josephine to Bryant Park Winter Village, a huge place that offered all kinds of seasonal events, delicious food and a large, ice rink. It was very popular; they would be surrounded by dozens of ice skaters, but privacy was the last thing on Tim’s mind. He wanted to offer her a romantic date and for him, Bryant Park Winter Village was ideal for the occasion.

  Festive lights shone all around them, as Josephine put on her ice blades. Holding onto his arm for balance, she tried to steady herself.

  “I still can’t believe you talked me into this.” She protested. “I haven’t done any ice skating in years.”

  “It’s just like riding a bike.” He teased her, as they both staggered across the ice rink floor.

  “I used to fall off my bike a lot.” Josephine chuckled.

  “Don’t worry. I got you.” Tim assured. “Besides, we’re not going to be skating for that long.”

  “What do you have in mind, Mr. Shaw?” Her question made his eyes glint with amusement.

  “A night with you,” he was quick to reply. “Do all the things I’ve missed so much.”

  “Very interesting,” she commented, as they skated towards the upper right corner of the rink. As soon as they reached it, Tim rolled left and faced her. He pulled his arm out of her grasp, put his hands on her wrists and pulled her closer.

  “I’ve been meaning to do this since we came to New York.” He spoke, his voice low, as he stared down into her big, brown eyes.

  “What, try to kill me?” Josephine joked.

  “Come on, doc,” he whispered. “You know what I’m talking about.”

  “I sure do,” she said in her sweet voice, giving him the chills, as a northern breeze tugged at her hair. “You really stunned me tonight, you know that? When I heard our song, I thought that Mona was trying to make me run back to you or something. But, I couldn’t have been more wrong.”

  “The song was my idea,” Tim bragged. “I thought about it, when she told me about her cousin. I was hoping to see you somewhere more private and dance to it, but you didn’t give me much choice.”

  “I couldn’t stay here.” Josephine sighed. “There was nothing for me here.”

  “Nothing?” Her statement puzzled him. “What about your parents? Where do they live?”

  “They got divorced, back when I was in college.” She replied. “My mother lives in Dallas, my father lives in Cleveland. I wouldn’t go to either of those places. My dad could accuse me of choosing my mom and vice versa.”

  “Sounds messy,” Tim’s smile grew wider.

  “You have no idea,” Josephine said, a hint of sadness in her voice, as the breeze turned into a powerful wind, whipping her hair back and forth. Tim would not open his mouth. Believing that anything that he might say could ruin the moment, he only gazed upon her. Letting go of her wrists, he wrapped his long arms around her back. He bent his head down towards her, closing his eyes. And it was at that moment that he felt alive again. Her warm, tender kiss sent him to heaven, as she entwined her arms around his neck. He felt her hair whipping at his face, as he caressed her back. The magic moment made his heart flutter. Blissfully lost in her kiss, he held her even closer, feeling her soft hands on the back of his neck.

  “God…” she whispered, laying a short kiss on his chin. “God, I’ve missed your kiss.”

  “Not as much as I’ve missed yours.” He spoke in his baritone, as the wind subsided. A small snowflake landed on her hair, just above her forehead. Tim felt some moisture on his temple. Both of them peered up into the sky. Thousands of snowflakes were gently falling from the grey sky, turning a cold darkness to a magic, winter night. Tim shifted his gaze back to her.

  “Perfect…” He thought to himself, watching as more and more snowflakes fell into her hair. “Just perfect…”

  “You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my whole life.” A tender whisper left his lips, as their gazes met.

  “I love you Tim Shaw.” She said in her soft voice, her words sending him into ultimate bliss, as her lips curled into a broad, happy smile. “I love you.”

  Chapter Thirty-Four

  Tim had one last surprise in store for Josephine that night. He was not going to take her to his sister’s apartment. His answer to her continuous questions throughout the short drive was a secretive smile and the same, three words: “It’s a surprise.” She did not seem to mind and returned the smile, but, as time went by, her frustration grew. Happily, she did not have to wait for long. Less than twenty minutes later, he turned right, into the underground parking lot of “Stardom”, a large, luxurious hotel.

  The elevator stopped at the penthouse. Seconds later, the young couple walked into a spacious, but dark suite. The only light available was the one emanating from the burning logs in the fireplace in the wall across from them.

  Tim tossed his coat on the couch to the left, but Josephine did not allow him to speak. She turned around, put her hands on his hips and pulled him closer, tilting her head up to meet his lips. Their mouths joined in a long, passionate kiss. He peeled off her coat and took her in his arms, as their kiss deepened. He started taking slow steps forward, leading her closer to the fireplace. He dragged his hands down her sides, just before he stopped. Tim pulled her sweater up and over her head, as Josephine’s hands crept around his waist. Tossing it to the floor, he wrapped his arms around her upper back. She tilted her head back, exposing her neck. With her warm flesh in his hands, he slowly kissed his way down her neck, as her soft sighs filled his ears. He buried his face into her chest as he unhooked her bra. Just when he threw it the floor, she arched up into him, feeling the pressure of his chest on her breasts. Then, Tim placed his hands on her shoulders, feeling her smooth skin on his lips.

  “God, I’ve missed you so much…” Josephine whimpered, as he pushed her down onto the hardwood floor. She moved her legs apart, pulling his shirt up, as his mouth moved across her chest. His manhood twitched, as his lips reached the delicate curve of her left breast. She slipped her hands under his shirt, as he pressed short, sensual kisses all around her breast. Josephine cupped his chiseled, lower abs and squeezed them, before undoing the first button. But he was not going to wait for her to finish what she started. Instead, Tim leaned back and hastily pulled it over his head, opening his eyes.

  “I love everything about you.” He said, his voice a tender whisper, as he gazed deep down into her big, brown eyes. A huge smile lit up her gorgeous face, before she opened her mouth.

  “Show me.” She whispered, as the light from the swirling flames reflected off her big, brown eyes. Bending his head down towards her, he returned the smile. Josephine squeezed her eyes shut, licking her upper lip, as his mouth made contact with her breast. She circled her arms around his neck, as h
e pulled her nipple into his mouth. His hands were quick to cup her breasts. He pressed them together, as she stroked the back of his neck. Tim first sucked on her nipplev, before flicking his tongue over it, sending sparks up and down her body. Josephine’s left hand traveled down his neck, while her right one slipped into his hair.

  “Oh, my God…” She moaned, as he trapped her hard nipple between his teeth. Gently biting it, he squeezed her breasts at the same time, feeling his boxer shorts getting wet from precum. Josephine grabbed and held onto his back, entwining her legs around his waist, as his hot, wet tongue ran circles around her nipple. By now, his cock was so hard that he had to get rid of the rest of his clothes. So, he removed his mouth from her body, pulled back and got up. Tim took off his pants and kicked off his shoes, maintaining eye contact with her. He sat down on his knees and scanned her body, from top to bottom, as she put her legs back down on the floor. She reached between her pants and unzipped them, kicking her heels away. Then, he hooked his hands into the waistband and pulled them down and off her feet. Tim grabbed her panties from each hip, rolled them down her legs and off. The sight of her slender, naked body sent his adrenaline into the ozone layer.

  “Absolutely beautiful…” He spoke, his soft voice nothing but a whisper, as he leaned over her. Tim’s lips landed on the narrow gap between her breasts. He began licking and nipping his way down her stomach, his hands caressing her sides, the feel of her smooth skin adding to his arousal. Flicking his tongue into her bellybutton, he stroked her delectable flesh, eager to worship her again. His nostrils were filled with the sweet scent of her pussy juices, as his mouth finally reached her groin. By now, thick precum was dripping down his rock hard shaft. Tim reached towards her and spread her legs wide, just before his lips closed around her hard, swollen clit.

  “Awwww, yeah…” The lustful moan that escaped her sounded like music to his ears. Sucking her clit into his mouth, he tasted her juices, while stroking her inner thighs at the same time. Slipping his arms under her legs, he wrapped his fingers around her thighs. Her hips began rolling under his mouth, as he flicked his tongue across her clit. Eager to stimulate her even more, he squeezed her left thigh, before releasing it. He put his fingers at her entrance. The tip of his index finger was immediately soaked and he hadn’t even penetrated her yet. Josephine leaned against her left shoulder and reached her hand towards him. She knitted her fingers into his hair and pulled it back gently, bucking up against him, as he swirled his tongue around her clit.

  “More…” He said in a voice filled with unbridled lust. “I want to taste you more.”

  “Oh, please do.” She whimpered, tilting her head all the way back. Her encouragement turned him on so much that he did not want to waste another second. His tongue traveled down her pussy, as he slid his fingers up. Feeling her moisture on the tip, he started rubbing his thumb over her clit in circles, her moans getting louder and louder by the second. Tim ran his tongue up and down her pussy a few times, before stopping it at her entrance. There was a large drop of her juices, ready to flow down over her butt cheek. He collected it, using the tip of his tongue and then, he pushed his warm, dexterous tongue deep into her, sending her into ecstasy.

  “That’s it, baby!” Josephine groaned, squeezing her eyes shut, as she grabbed a fistful of his hair. Tim rubbed her clit faster and harder, understanding that her orgasm was close. He could sense her pussy juices running down his tongue. Her grip on his head became stronger. Josephine pressed him down onto her, feeling his tongue going in and out of her depths. She closed her thighs around his ears, gasping with arousal. Her pussy tightened around his tongue, as her body trembled out of control. Tim tightened his grip around her thigh, in an attempt to pin her in place. Within seconds, the suite was filled with the sounds of her loud screams of pleasure, as his tongue and fingers catapulted her to an astounding orgasm that shot through her like a bolt of lightning.

  Tim pulled his fingers out of her and put them to his lips, as she lay on her back, panting for breath. Pushing them into his mouth, he sat up and opened his eyes.

  “You really are crazy…” She whispered, her chest pumping up and down.

  “I am…” He said with an intent smile on his face as he leaned forward. “I’m crazy about you.” He added, lying on top of her. Josephine cupped his face in both of her hands, as their lips locked in a long, fiery kiss. His big, stiff cock slipped between the wet folds of her womanhood, as she raised her legs in the air. Putting his hands on her upper outer thighs, Tim pushed his manhood all the way into her, getting lost in the magic of her kiss. Her muffled moan in his mouth sent him to heaven. Josephine’s right hand slid down the side of his neck, as he squeezed the supple flesh of her legs. Feeling her hard nipples against his chest, he thrust into her with long, deep strokes, as she caressed his shoulder blade. She ran her other hand up his face and slipped it into his hair, fastening her legs around his waist.

  “God, you’re so deep…” She moaned, tilting her head back, overwhelmed by the sensation of his manhood in her depths. Josephine dug her long fingernails into the firm flesh of his upper back, as his sensual penetration sent wave after wave of pleasure coursing up and down her body. Her heat and her moisture overwhelmed him; Tim was struggling to maintain a slow pace. Kissing his way down her neck, he let his hands wander over her thighs, as she slid her hand up his back. She grabbed and held on to his shoulder, licking her upper lip, his deep, manly groans audible over hers. His hands traveled up her body. Stopping them over her hips, he squeezed them first and then quickened his pace. Josephine let go of his hair and wrapped her arm around his back, writhing under him, as Tim planted passionate kisses all over her chest. Loving the sensation of her juices, mixed with his precum flowing down his large, throbbing cock, he took her right breast in his mouth. Licking her nipple in a circular motion, he felt a slight amount of pain, as she once again sank her fingernails into the flesh of his back. Still, he could not worship her properly in that position and he had been dying to touch her all over. Therefore, Tim held her tightly by the hips and rolled them over, farther from the fireplace.

  She let out a gasp of surprise, finding herself on top of him. His manhood slipped out of her; she reached behind her back and led it to her entrance. Tim’s hands slid up her sides. In a quick move, he pulled her closer, bringing her mouth over his.

  “Awww, baby…” Josephine moaned, biting her lower lip, holding on to his shoulders as he penetrated her again. Her hot kiss drove him crazy with lust, as he ran his hands down her back. Filling his palms with the hot flesh of her big, round ass, Tim started driving into her hard and fast, quenching her desire. By now, her juices had reached the base of his shaft. Her loud, lustful groans aroused him even further. Spreading her butt cheeks, he squeezed them hard as he pounded her pussy faster and harder by the second. She tilted her head up, unable to continue her kiss, as the slurping sound of his penetration filled their ears. Her breasts bounced up and down and jiggled, as his big, heavy balls slapped against her ass. Tim tilted his face up, just enough to pull her left nipple into his mouth.

  “That’s it!” She screamed, tightening her grip on his shoulders. Gently biting her nipple, he dug his nails into the flesh of her butt cheeks, as she quivered in his arms. Their moans were bouncing off the walls of the suite. His deep, strong thrusts and his worship on her breasts were sending pleasure swirling through her. Taken over by lust, Josephine was rocking her hips against his. Her body shuddered with each stroke. Waves of ecstasy slammed through her, as an enormous, earth-shattering orgasm shook her to her core, drenching his manhood with her warm juices. Unable to hold back his own climax any longer, Tim pulled out, squirting semen all over her lower back and her ass. She tumbled into his embrace, exhausted and out of breath…

  Chapter Thirty-Five

  Laying her head on his chest, Josephine snuggled close and slid her fingers in between his, purring like a contented cat, as he ran his hands up her body.

  “Your heart is be
ating so fast…” She whispered.

  “Because I’m here with you…” He smiled.

  “You’re so sweet.” Josephine rewarded him with a quick kiss on his chest. “Speaking of which, how did you afford this place?” She wondered, slowly looking up at him.

  “Well…” Tim gave a short laugh. “Let’s just say I didn’t give all my money to the feds.”

  “Oh…” She smiled. “I had almost forgotten about that.”

  “You should, Joey.” He advised. “We both should. Hey, can you answer me one question?”

  “Sure.” She chirped.

  “Why would your parents call you ‘Josephine’?” Tim’s raspy voice was filled with curiosity. “It’s French, isn’t it?”

  “Yes, it is.” Josephine confirmed. “Josephine de Beauharnais was Napoleon’s mistress; she then became his wife. My parents liked French names. It was one of the very few things they had in common.”

  “I hope we don’t end up like them.” Tim sighed. “Divorced and hundreds of miles away from each other.”

  “Why would we do that?” Her voice became high-pitched.

  “Doc…” He snorted. “Let’s face it: We have nothing in common. You’re an unemployed biologist and I’m just a brute who’s trying to become a firefighter.”

  “Au contraire mon ami.” Josephine said, her voice husky. “We have a lot in common. It’s just our education that’s different.”

  “Ok.” Tim laughed, his eyes glinting with amusement, as he caressed her back. “Name one.”

  “We believe in people.” This time, her tone was much firmer. “We want to believe. And we do. That’s why we gave each other a chance in the first place, isn’t it? You told me you thought I was some…” She faltered. “Cold, snobby scientist, but you changed your mind rather quickly. I thought you were some kind of a ruthless criminal, but you were not. Shall I go on?”
