Tortoise Tango

by Mary Wine

  His knee bent between her thighs and lifted her leg as he rolled slightly back. His other leg trapped her right leg to the surface of the bed. Joe spread her thighs wide as his finger circled the opening to her passage. His legs twisted with her and trapped her spread open for his amusement.

  “You still so sure, baby?” His teeth nipped the column of her neck before biting a path towards her shoulder. Her hips twitched towards his finger as her passage begged for penetration but Joe tightened his thighs and rubbed his digit back towards her clit.

  Amber cried out as he touched her little bud. The pleasure was so acute she couldn’t contain the sound. Joe pressed and rubbed over the bundle of nerves as he held her spread open for his touch.

  “I can smell you… Did you know that, Amber? Right now, the scent of your body is driving me nearly mad. All I can think about is how wet you are.” His finger pressed and held as she shivered on the edge of climax. “But you could get wetter, with the right stimulation.”

  Suddenly he was gone. Amber fell onto the bed and groaned. The sound came from her womb as it begged for the climax that had teased it. Instead she searched the dark room for the shadow that shifted and moved back to her side.

  Joe pushed her thighs apart with his shoulders as he came back to the bed. Amber fell back as she shivered with anticipation once again. His voice was so menacing, it promised her complete mastery, and maybe there was a secret part of her that craved to be bent into submission.

  A small buzz hit her ears as Joe spread her thighs even wider. His face lowered over her spread sex as he leveled a wicked grin at her. He penetrated her body with something that vibrated. Just slightly thicker than one of his fingers, he pushed the device into her wet passage.

  “Joe!”

  “Shhh…baby, you tossed down the gauntlet. Now, I’m going to make you scream.”

  Her eyes went wide and round and Joe chuckled. He wanted to make her scream, all right. There was something pulsing through his brain that demanded he take her body to a level of pleasure that would make her scream. Maybe it was ego but Joe caught the scent of her body as he adjusted the little vibrator inside her before spreading the folds of her sex apart to bare her little clit. He blew on the little bud first and her hips jerked. Her flesh glistened as he leaned forward to gently lick her.

  “Joe!”

  He chuckled and applied his tongue over her again. Amber felt her spine arch as pleasure shot up from the contact. The little vibrator hummed away inside her as Joe used only his tongue to drive her insane. She was balanced on the edge of climax but he kept her there as the tip of his tongue circled and rubbed her clit.

  “I always make sure I have the right equipment for every mission too, baby. I picked up a few toys for us to play with today.”

  Her little whimper excited him. Joe caught her clit with his lips and sucked on the little center of pleasure. Her hips bucked as he let her body climax. His cock was aching but he enjoyed the hard bite of it as he listened to Amber sob. Satisfaction pumped through his brain as he continued to suck and rub her clit.

  She never came down from the peak. Amber tried to catch her breath but her lungs couldn’t keep up with her heart rate. Joe still had her bud between his lips as his fingers gently rubbed the opening to her passage. He grasped the little vibrator as his tongue resumed licking across her clit. Pleasure ripped through her as he gently worked the little sex toy in and out of her body. The walls of her passage begged for the penetration the second it slid out of her. Thoughts refused to form in her brain. Instead everything centered under his tongue as he licked and sucked in time with the penetration of the vibrator. Need became almost cruel as it twisted and bit into her body. Climax refused to relieve the ache as Joe held her down for more of the stimulation.

  “Joe, please!”

  He didn’t laugh at her plea. Instead his head rose to aim his eyes at her face. Deep male satisfaction glittered from his eyes as he pushed the vibrator into her passage while he watched her.

  “Are we done playing, baby?”

  “Yes!”

  “Roll over and pull your knees under you.”

  There was a part of him that enjoyed watching her obey. Joe put his feet onto the floor and stood up as she flipped onto her stomach and scooted back until she was on her haunches. He reached for her hips and pulled her to the edge of the bed.

  “That’s it, baby.”

  The hard thrust of his cock against her leg drove her insane. Amber whimpered as she pushed her body towards Joe. She needed to be filled and her body screamed for the hard thrust of his. The little vibrator buzzed away inside her as Joe stroked her bottom.

  “I bought you a plug today.”

  She reared off the bed but Joe pushed her right back down. His hand smacked her bottom as she gasped, the spanking combined with the vibration making her pant as a contraction of pleasure crossed her belly.

  “A small plug that will make your pussy even tighter when I screw you.” He slapped the opposite side of her bottom making pleasure shoot through her again.

  He reached for the bedside table and pulled the drawer open. His hand brought two items out of it before he spanked her bottom once again. All the while the vibrator continued its function. Her body was balanced on the edge of climax but never allowed to dive into it.

  Joe’s fingers gently retrieved the little sex toy and silenced it. The silver vibrator landed on the bed next to her as he fingered her back entrance. There was the smooth touch of some kind of lubrication before one finger pressed against her for entrance.

  “Joe, that isn’t my idea of a good time!”

  His finger pressed and entered her body, making her gasp. “You said the same thing about being spanked, honey.” Her face flushed but her mind instantly demanded she let Joe try his plug on her. The spanking had made her scream. His cock already filled her completely, she shuddered as she contemplated how much tighter she’d be with a plug in.

  “Yeah, baby, you’re thinking about how good it might be, aren’t you?” His finger moved around the tight muscle as he spread more lubricant over her bottom. The first touch of the plug made her nervous. It had always been taboo in her mind but trust held her still as it pressed into her bottom.

  Trust in Joe, the man would kill for her and she knew without doubt he wouldn’t injure her.

  “Yeah, baby, you know I can handle you, don’t you?” Amber whimpered as the plug pressed into her bottom. Sensation so sharp hit her body, she shivered as she felt it lodge completely inside her. Joe’s fingers traced her slit until they found her clit once again. Pleasure shot into her womb as she cried out.

  “Turn over.” His voice made her purr. It was hard and cut with tension, betraying his level of need. Amber rolled onto her back and let her eyes trace the naked feast his body presented. Moonlight bathed his bare body and flowed over each ridge and muscle. Her eyes lingered over the hard erection stabbing towards her as Joe reached for her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the bed.

  His body stepped between her legs making her spread even further apart for him. The head of his cock probed her as she tried to move up towards the penetration she craved. His hands gripped her hips and forced her to stay in place.

  “Don’t move, Amber.” His voice was rough and dark. Amber shivered at the pure dominance being demanded but her body refused to care how it got what it craved. Only that the hard cock teasing her passage, penetrated and filled the yearning space.

  “I told you, baby. Tonight, it will be slow and deep.” He thrust into her body with his words. The hard length of his cock stretched her passage as he groaned. The plug made his penetration even tighter and the pleasure acute. His hands smoothed over her hips before gripping them as he pulled his cock out of her body. Amber whimpered as she was once again empty. Joe paused with just the tip of his cock inside her before he slowly pushed it back into her.

  “I could spend an hour just like this.” He was deep inside her body as his words hit her almost l
ike a threat. Amber craved more friction but he held her stretched on his length before slowly pulling his cock from her again.

  Pleasure twisted with need as the slow thrusting allowed her to linger in each and every second like it was an eternity. This time there wasn’t the white-hot eruption of pleasure. Instead Amber felt like she was burning alive. His hands smoothed over her bottom before he thrust back into her passage.

  She was so damn sexy. Joe clenched his teeth as he thrust over and over into her body. He tightened his control and refused the screaming need to rut on her like a beast. His cock throbbed and he enjoyed the hard edge of the sensation. Her body was soaking wet as he thrust and withdrew, never increasing the pace. Instead he listened to his heartbeat pound past his ears as he forced them both to endure the deep penetration and that full moment that he lingered deep inside her.

  Amber’s cries became desperate. Joe opened his eyes as he drew his next thrust along her clit.

  “Are you ready, baby?”

  “Oh, God yes!”

  His finger rubbed over her clit and Amber shook as pleasure twisted every nerve ending she had. Joe thrust into her as his finger rubbed and her cry hit the darkness. It ripped from her throat as pleasure ripped into her womb and her passage clutched at his hard cock. Joe’s harsh grunt told her his control was at its limit. One hard thrust and his seed splashed into her body. Their cries were sounds of primitive satisfaction. It bounced off the walls of the room, filling their ears to the point where Amber couldn’t separate anything. Pleasure twisted her like a sheet left on a drying line and her body gripped Joe’s cock, desperate to hold onto the essence of life.

  Harsh…primitive and completely mind-blowing. Joe watched her in the dark with glittering eyes before he pulled the little plug from her bottom. He ripped a pillowcase off a pillow and cleaned her body before lifting her and placing her under the covers.

  He melted into the dark bathroom as Amber listened to the sound of running water. Sleep clouded her thoughts so she didn’t try to think anymore. Her body hummed with contentment as her limbs relaxed.

  The bed bounced as Joe rolled onto it. His arms took her with him as he rolled onto his back and pressed her head to his chest. His heart pounded beneath the hard muscle and Amber sighed. She was surrounded by the scent of him, encased in the strength that made her body so content in his embrace. Nothing else mattered but the harmony their bodies seemed to produce together.

  “Joe? I think I like playing games with you.”

  “More than you like Idaho?”

  She made a little hum of amusement before nuzzling against his chest once more. “Maybe.”

  That one little word lifted the corners of his mouth until he was grinning like a schoolkid. Joe stroked the side of her face as she slept and grinned some more. Sometimes you just went with an emotion and didn’t question why it showed up.

  Chapter Twelve

  It was amazing how something so important could happen so quickly. Amber looked at the Area Judge and waited for him to cross-examine her. Instead he laced his fingers together and considered her rather meager answers to his questions.

  Amber wasn’t sure what she had expected but such a calm ending to her week of premium security hadn’t been it. The judge had seen her in his chambers due to her recent connection with a tree. Amber doubted the stitches in her scalp were the real reason. The Texas Governor was listening on speakerphone and Joe’s Navy team had the doors sealed.

  “Thank you, Ms. Talisman. I appreciate you doing your duty and testifying.”

  She waited for relief to show up. Instead she almost felt like crying. The judge stood up and offered her his hand to shake. The ordeal wasn’t truly over but now that she’d given her testimony there was no reason to kill her any longer. The court recorder could just read her words to a jury. That meant she was free to go home.

  The idea of her new satin and lace bed in the cottage made her throat choke up.

  Oh Lord, Amber!

  She could just chew up her stubborn pride and tell Joe she wanted to stay. That would require a whole lot of jaw work but it wasn’t impossible. Men and women negotiated relationships all the time.

  Fear was an emotion very similar to mold. Just as soon as you thought you had killed it, the stubborn stuff grew back. The truth was she was downright scared of being rejected. Her crazy life had never really bothered her. Of course she could face the fact that Joe might not be interested in anything more than sex.

  Her thoughts kept her company on the way home. Amber grinned at the house as Joe drove into the drive. Flamingo was wandering around the side yard as he grazed on the grass.

  Joe leaned against his truck to watch Amber. She’d leapt out of his vehicle the second he hit the brakes and was talking to her pet. Tension knotted his neck muscles as he considered how confident she really was on her own. There was a part of him that would have loved to see some kind of attachment to him linger in her eyes.

  A little grin crossed his face as Amber bent over and showed off her bottom to him. Naw, he liked his Little Red exactly the way she was.

  Joe’s phone rang and she listened to the deep sound of his voice as he answered it. Moving towards the house, Amber went towards her own job. At least for the moment, she had things to fill up her brain with. Tonight, she’d just have to think about her move to Idaho.

  Her things were still in the master bedroom. It was really silly to feel odd about going into Joe’s room but Amber felt her stomach give a little flop in her belly as she approached the doorway.

  Her jaw dropped as she took in the room. Her new satin and lace comforter was covering the bed. Joe’s ultra-male flannel sheets were gone too, and the pale green satin ones she’d bought covered the mattress.

  “I used to think my Navy pals were cracked to put up with a wife who bought satin bed coverings.” Joe’s hand smoothed down her back as he appeared silently next to her. It was little things like that that reminded her of his deadly abilities. There was an everyday Joe that was comfortable and loose, but hidden inside him was something much less…tame.

  That excited her. Amber licked her lower lip as she thought about the raw aggression he sometimes let emerge. The fact that she never knew when to expect that harder edge made it so much more exciting. She looked at the bedding and shivered. Joe had planned ahead of her once again. Not only was the satin on his bed, one of his SEAL buddies had done the job.

  “I thought you said my bedding needed a warning sign.”

  “It still does.” His hand gave a controlled push that sent her into the bedroom. Joe stood in the doorway as Amber turned to look at the raw hunger blazing from his face. She licked her lower lip again and his eyes homed in on the little motion.

  “Your bed needs a huge warning posted above it to any other man who even thinks about sniffing around it.”

  His eyes darkened as Amber let her eyes drop to the crotch of his pants. She wanted him to see her doing that. There was a naughty little desire racing through her brain to push him. Her body responded so intensely to his it was almost vital that she wield the same power over Joe.

  “I love the way you look at me, baby.” Joe walked to the bedside table and placed his gun on it. His eyes traveled over her body and lingered on her breasts. “Undress for me, Amber.”

  Her lips twitched up into a little grin as Amber fingered the top button on her top. Joe’s eyes were devoted to her tiny motions as she pushed the little piece of plastic through its hole. She ran her hand down to the next button and popped it open. Confidence surged through her as she watched Joe’s skin draw taut across his cheekbones. Last night he’d stopped just short of overwhelming her. The devotion radiating from his face restored the balance in their relationship.

  It was her turn to stimulate.

  Amber turned around as she opened the last button. She let the blouse hang open as she looked over her shoulder at Joe. Raising her hands she pulled her twin hair combs out and shook her head until her hair bounced
onto her shoulders. Joe’s lips tightened and gave her a glimpse of clenched teeth.

  Rolling her shoulders, Amber let gravity take her blouse to the floor. She slipped her hands over her hips and Joe groaned.

  “You could tease me to death, baby.”

  “You look mighty healthy to me, Josiah.” Amber moved to the hook on her bra and opened it. “What’s the matter? No stamina today?”

  “You make me feel like a raw teenager, honey.”

  Amber hummed under her breath as Joe took a step towards her. “Oh no, you don’t. A woman should never be rushed when she’s undressing for a man.”

  Joe cussed under his breath but stood in place. He wanted to leap across the distance and strip her. Yank her skirt down her legs until he found warm skin and hot desire. But the promise in her eyes made him clamp his need into submission.

  “I wouldn’t dream of it.”

  “Hmmm…good boy.” Amber dropped her bra and slid her hands down her bare sides to her skirt zipper. She gave a little wiggle of her hips as she pushed the zipper down and watched Joe’s face as she did it. His eyes raked over her body like they owned it. Desire flamed up even further as she saw the raw animal in those eyes. He allowed her to taunt him and she felt excitement bleed from the idea that he could decide to stop being obedient at any second.

  The skirt joined her clothing as she turned around. Only her thigh-high stockings and panties remained. They had lace edging that wrapped around each of her thighs and she was still in her high heels. A dangerous glint appeared in Joe’s eyes as she showed off her almost nude body. Amber ran her tongue over her lower lip as she recognized that her turn was now very much…over.

  Joe didn’t make a sound as he approached. His motion was silent and practiced. His hands cupped her face as he gently licked her lips. He turned her face to fit their mouths together before pressing her for a deep kiss of ownership. Her hands rose to his shoulders as she delighted in running her fingers along his body.
