So he kissed her before logic could kick in again. She made a half-hearted protest.
He edged back, not wanting a repeat of the night before. “If the answer is no, leave now.”
An indecipherable noise wrenched from her throat. She fisted her hand in his hair and brought his mouth back to hers. That was as good as a yes for him. He did what he’d had the urge to do when she first walked in—yanked her skirt higher and then pulled her into his lap. There was no more protests, no hesitation. She straddled him, moaning into his mouth.
He tugged at her shirt and had it unbuttoned in record time. Skin. Sweet Mary. Her skin. Nothing had ever felt this good beneath his fingertips. She rocked into him, a wordless message for him to keep going. His hands fumbled over the clasp of her bra.
“Do it again,” he demanded, and when she did, he grunted his approval.
After he tossed her bra across the workshop, he gripped her hips to guide her in the slow grind. It was a tease of what he really wanted—inside her. Now. But it felt right to take this slow immersion into a mutual seduction. Maybe Victoria understood because she cupped one hand along his cheek and buried her other hand in his hair.
But slow didn’t mean without urgency. Victoria bare and soft and wet is what he needed. He pulled down the side zipper on her skirt and lifted the soft material until it was past her belly button. His hand met the smooth flesh of her arse. He searched for the thin strap of her thong. When he found it, her tongue reached deeper in his mouth, egging him on.
He reached farther down that beautiful curve until hot moisture greeted his fingers along her slit. All he needed was a moment to let this sink in—the way her sweet scent permeated the air and the feel of her wet against his exploring fingertips.
Apparently it was a second too long for her, because she arched her hips into him. Breaching the thin strip of material, he plunged one finger inside her, then two as she squirmed and wiggled, searching for a release he’d give her.
He closed his eyes, cataloging every reaction, every breath and twist of her hips. No conversation could ever tell him more about this woman than knowing what she needed to kiss the edge of pleasure. To see her when everything else fell away and her focus, her sole purpose was to feel.
Her moans quickened until she stilled, holding her breath. It was a thing of beauty to feel her break apart. She shuddered but kept jerking her hips up and down on his fingers. He pushed his tongue deeper until all she could take was him.
With a soft sigh she went boneless in his lap. He tutted gently though everything in him felt coiled. “My room. Now.”
Like a fool he waited for some kind of confirmation that this wasn’t just a moment of weakness he was exploiting. He needed to know she was right there with him, wanting this.
Victoria murmured, “Yes. Your room.” And then she held firm to the back of his neck, trailing kisses over his chin.
He cleared the workshop in a few strides. Almost in his room, she nipped his ear. He put out his hand to get a good hold on the doorjamb just to keep him upright. That was his weakness, one he never confessed, and she’d found it.
“Let me guess.” Her laugh was husky.
He took a staggering step into the room. “The condoms are in the dresser.”
To his regret she stopped what she was doing to follow his stare. His bed was more than ten feet away from it. Though as a second choice it wasn't half bad. It was huge and sturdy. He'd made it so he knew it could hold them both.
“Tough choice,” she pointed out.
“Bed, later,” he promised and took them to the dresser.
She nipped his lobe again. “Who would have thought? Biting your ear turns you into a mindless animal.”
“Shouldn’t be that surprising. I’m barely civilized.” He opened the drawer to his left and then tossed a condom next to her hip.
Her gaze followed the action and he knew what would come next—doubts, hesitation, everything neither of them needed. He kissed her, harder than before until her limbs wrapped around him. Everything they didn’t need could wait. If that made him a mindless animal, he could live with that. When she started to relax again, he took off her panties and skirt.
She brushed her fingers along his chest down to his zipper. The edge of the dresser bit into his thighs but she was sliding her palms around his back, farther down until her hands were in his boxers.
Victoria scraped her nails over his arse, his pelvis. She touched his tattoo without breaking the kiss. It was a Celtic dragon he had inked on his skin in his youth. The more she caressed it, the harder his cock became. His breathing rasped. Fast and now is what he needed, but her breasts were full and heavy. He broke the kiss, pulled back and glanced down. Her nipples looked like they wanted his mouth. He swallowed though his throat felt tight.
“There.” She trailed her fingers over her pussy lips. “Kiss me there.”
“A lesson of the female anatomy?” he asked, amused.
“You seem to not know where I want you to touch me.”
“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were well out of my league, lass. Grip the dresser.”
She did without argument. He rewarded her by catching one nipple between his lips. She gasped, arching closer to his mouth. He lavished both breasts with licks and sucks until the buds were wet and tight. When he knew she was tight and wet.
He moistened the tip of his finger and circled both nipples to keep them hard, the way he liked. She muttered something foul, impatience clear on her face. He finally took the not-so-subtle directions and began to rub his thumb over her clit in a slow rhythm. Her come from earlier had left her deliciously slick.
“You held your breath when you came,” he said.
She let out a moan. “Didn’t notice.”
He’d noticed. Everything. “You like following directions. Like being told what to do. I’m starting to think my guess of a masochist wasn’t that far off.”
Her lids were low, and she shook her head. “No. I don’t have any kinks. I just like the way you demand it.”
Simple words that pushed him closer to the edge, but he continued to caress her clit, the inner and outer lips, slowly. She was so perfectly swollen. Later he would know how she felt beneath his tongue, but he had a purpose.
Callan added pressure with each tease. She held her breath again. The action brought a smile to his lips, but his focus never left what his hand was doing. And what he was doing took all his focus.
He licked his lips, wanting to taste her, but not yet. “Do you swear you don’t have any kinks?”
She made a noise between a moan and a whimper, shifting her hips as he continued his caress. “Just make me come.”
He could. Slow didn’t mean without intensity either. Callan could play with her clit and pussy lips at leisure and she’d come, eventually. But they had fought this, argued over it and danced around each other. He wanted one truth, one mystery confirmed and maybe he could sleep easy tonight. Everyone had kinks. They may not be whips, dungeons and gags, but they had them in big or small ways. She had them. He had to find them, because Victoria had to lose some of her intrigue. He had to strip her down. Maybe that made him less of a man, and a bit sadistic to need that validation, but he wouldn’t deny her pleasure.
He used his free hand to let his fingers feather over her neck. “Breath play, my lass. Remember that.”
He kissed her and reached for the condom. Her “yes” was muffled by his mouth, and then she touched him, her fingers a light whisper over his skin. He deepened the kiss, much more than he intended but some of the pressure building in his chest needed a release. Wanting her like this wasn’t normal. Not for him. He didn’t deny himself or his lovers pleasure.
Yet Victoria made him feel like he had never known the softness of a woman’s body and her touch. Ten feet separated them from his bed, a fucking mile as far as he was concerned. It did more than turn him on to know, later, he could close his eyes and imagine her spr
ead on his dresser—her beautiful, sleek brown legs open wide, her pussy lips glistening from her come, her tits tight and full and bouncing to the rhythm of his dick.
He sheathed himself and dragged her to the edge of the dresser with all the finesse of a virgin. Her feet brushed the back of his knees. Callan could be himself again after he knew what she felt like wrapped around his cock. The fist around his heart would loosen. It had to, because if he felt this way every time she was near him, he’d go mad.
He gripped his cock in one hand and pressed into her. She closed her eyes and tilted her head back. Fuck. He entered slowly to savor the first stroke, the way his spine tingled and how his balls drew tight like he would come. It was a moment of reverence to watch and feel his cock sink into her pussy.
She opened her eyes and met his gaze. He thrust inside her again. It was enough to snap him out of his reverence. He pushed her back onto the dresser. The top of her head kissed the wall and that could be a problem with the way he was feeling. He clasped her left leg, lifted it and let her foot hang over his shoulder. “Grip the dresser tighter.”
“Tighter?”
She muttered a foul curse that made him grin. “Aye.”
He spread his feet to get a better position. She gasped another curse. When he started to move, her legs trembled in his hands. He placed a kiss on her knee and began to fuck her.
Some part of him knew he should have taken it back to slow and gentle, but what he needed had taken over. He had to feel his balls slap against her arse. Let her cum and sweat dampen his skin. Make this raw and nasty so whenever he saw her, she’d always be the woman who had let him fuck her on his dresser.
His nails practically dug into her skin as he slammed into her, hit that spot inside that turned her low pants into something primal. He couldn’t call this submission, not while he pounded into her. She had to take his dick, an inch or all of it. Whatever he gave her.
He had all the control but felt none of it, because there was no way he’d ever fuck her out of his system. She was perfection gliding up and down his dick, squeezing him tighter and tighter.
Victoria let go of the dresser to put a hand on the wall to keep her head from slamming into it and the other between her legs. Her titties bounced to his hard tempo. That image seared into his brain. He growled at the erotic sight and leaned forward to take her mouth and fuck her the way she needed.
He wasn’t going to last much longer. She pulsed too hard around him. He dragged her down more until all of her arse hung over the lip of the dresser and rolled his hips, pushing as deep as he could go to create a better friction for her hand to work against her clit.
“Callan,” she purred his name.
She gripped him, and he simply couldn’t move for a second. Heat flashed up his spine, forcing him forward, seeking her lips. He groaned into her mouth, grinding against her. She shuddered then clenched again, harder. Her body tensed as she held her breath.
“Ah. There, lass.” He wrapped his fingers around her neck. Not tight at all but as a weighty reminder that he could close his fist and cut off her air. Just when the orgasm forced her back into an arch, he could see her eyes widen. Fear skated across her gaze and then arousal shaded her brown irises.
“There is your kink, lass.”
Erotic asphyxiation was not her confessed kink and still that was the third time she’d held her breath. Something she’d probably done for years and had never thought about it heightening her full sexual experience. His hand could do the same or a scarf. The taboo connection, so very light and innocent, made her come harder. She put her hand over his and shuddered when he tightened his grip gently.
“So obscene,” Callan accused in a whisper, “the thoughts you come to.”
She reached up and put her hand against his mouth probably to shut him up as though that could stop him from pointing out any other kink she might have had.
He groaned, catching her true scent. He sucked her fingers. The potent taste of her slid over his tongue. In the next thrust, his orgasm slammed into him. There was fuck else he could do but let the heat climb up from his balls. He kept stroking inside her, the pace jerky and uneven. Each time his come spurted out, he shook until he was spent.
For a moment all he could hear and feel was the thunder of his heartbeat in his ears. He wrapped his tongue around her fingers and licked up until her hand fell away.
Victoria shifted back into focus. “You held your breath, too,” she said. “How kinky.”
He couldn’t catch enough breath to laugh so instead he licked into her mouth until she squirmed, needing more of his bite. He could barely feel his legs, and he wanted to give her more.
The longer he stood between her thighs the wider her eyes got. There was the fear again. He’d made his point but at the cost of her vulnerability. She put a hand up to her throat. Callan brushed her mouth with his thumb. “Lass, it’s okay.” He paused and added, “If I can admit that I like for my ears to be nipped then what’s breath play?”
She shook her head. “You’re so full of shit.”
He laughed and finally pulled back, straightening. “I promised you the bed.”
She drew him closer and nipped his lobe again. There was more than a stir from his cock, though he knew she was trying to wrest back the control. Well…that was until she whispered what she’d do if and when they made it to the bed.
He met her gaze not surprised at the naughty threat. “Aye. Consider this an I.O.U.”
“What do you owe me?” Her voice was full of mischief.
“Every answer is crude.”
She chuckled, but the fear was still there in her gaze. “We’ll make it to the floor.”
He started to reassure her, to beat back that emotion, but she bit him hard just where he liked it. Safe to say the sentiment got lost in a haze of lust.
And fuck if she wasn’t right about them making it to the floor.
CHAPTER NINE
“Bottom’s up, lassie.” The Baird grinned devilishly.
Victoria swallowed an exasperated sigh. Mist snaked through the balcony and gave a nice little haze to the otherwise pristine pub. She could plop food down on his hardwood floors and eat off it.
Apparently he spent all his time making his pub tip-top and left none of that give-a-damn for his flat. And it wasn’t just the main room. He’d given her a tour of the entire place. She’d swear he had OCD if she hadn’t just helped him toss away two-tons worth of trash in his flat.
It was like dealing with split personalities, even down to the décor. He favored worn and comfy in his flat. Here, there was nothing but metal and wood, making the pub look bare but artful. The mirrored ceiling in his pub was the only item that connected the two personalities. He had a huge dresser mirror in his bedroom.
So…how had she ended up half-drunk in the Baird’s pub?
The third round of sex with Callan involved him tying her to his bedpost and fucking her until she saw double. That was four days ago. Soon after, when the realization of what they’d done settled in, she started her avoid-him-at-all-costs campaign.
When an itch started up between her shoulder blades with Callan’s name on it, she booked it to the Baird’s, convinced that cleaning the older man’s flat would clear her mind. It would also help her avoid direct contact with Callan at least one more day. Best of all, bossing the Baird around would remind her she did have self-control. She, in fact, was not the type of woman who practically melted at the idea of a man finding another kink. Well, kink-lite.
The last was so important. She’d had raunchy sex before, and what she’d done with Callan wasn’t extreme. It was…It was like she’d been shown who she really was, what she really wanted. She never would have suspected she’d like someone to have their hand on her throat, a nice steady weight as she came. He’d seen the connection and truth of it, of her as though he could see past all her walls—get past all her walls.
