Doing the Right Thing

by Barbara Elsborg

  He needed a few seconds to get back under control.

  “I’m going to tell you a secret. One you have to guard with your life unless you need something big from my brother. I used to make Ed wear Mum’s underwear so I could perfect my bra-removing technique. One day Mum caught him prancing about in one of her La Perla demi-cups. She told him he had good taste, but to pick one of the cheaper ones if he wanted to wear her stuff. God, he nearly killed me.”

  “How old was he?”

  “Twenty-seven.”

  Addie laughed. “Fibber.”

  Will stared at her. “Your smile. Your face. You’re so pretty.”

  “Right.”

  He moved his hands from her breasts to feather his fingers over her cheeks and down to her lips. “You’re acting like no one’s ever said that before.”

  Addie hesitated and then said, “They haven’t.”

  Oh Christ. “Not even your mum and dad?”

  “I never let them see me naked.”

  “Addie! Don’t joke. You are pretty.”

  She gave a tentative smile.

  Will felt a flash of anger she’d been deprived of such a simple kindness by two people who should know better.

  “You have a cute nose, amazing eyes, very kissable lips and a beautiful body. Those legs make my mouth water.”

  He slid down the bed on his back and lifted his head to take her nipple in his mouth. As he sucked, he pushed a hand inside her panties. Will’s heart pounded as his fingers sank through soft curls to reach wet folds beyond. Oh Christ, she’s soaking— dripping. He explored the velvety softness of her pussy, the hills and valleys, and lightly touched the hard nub of her clit before removing his hand. Addie was breathing in noisy gulps, her body slumped over his. He had to lift her so he could take a breath. He’d never been with anyone so responsive. Will felt like he could touch her anywhere and make her come. He rolled her onto her back and she looked at him and blinked.

  “I can’t see straight,” she said.

  “I haven’t made you see stars yet?”

  “N-no.”

  “Hold tight.”

  She groaned and reached back to grab the bed head. Will smiled and then peeled her panties down her hips, tugging them over her legs and her feet before he flung them across the room.

  “What’s with the underwear slinging?” she asked.

  “I don’t want to make it easy for you to get dressed.”

  Will lay on his side and ran one finger all the way from her forehead, over her nose, lips and chin, down her neck, a detour to each nipple, then over her belly, through her curls and between her legs. He rubbed the pad of his finger back and forth over her delicate folds, and then began to slip in and out slowly, building up the rhythm, edging deeper and deeper until she was gasping and he wanted to gasp too. His thumb settled over her clit and strummed gently as he added another finger to the one in her pussy.

  “Oh God,” Addie whispered. “Will, please.”

  He pushed deeper, her cream coating his hand, and circled his thumb harder on her clit. Addie lurched beneath him.

  “Yes,” she gasped.

  Her muscles clenched around his fingers and Will felt the climax roll through her. He ached with the pleasure of being able to do that to her, ached with the need to do more. Will pulled her into his arms as she came back down and held her as her breathing eased.

  “Wow, that was so good,” she said. “We can go and eat now.”

  Chapter Eighteen

  Addie wondered if her heart could stand the strain. It beat so hard and so loud she was sure it was about to break her ribs.

  “You really want to eat?” Will asked.

  “I’m starving.” She smiled when she saw the look in his eyes.

  “There’s some unfinished business to take care of,” Will said.

  “I don’t think I can come again.”

  He growled and rolled so she lay under him. “Oh yes you can, but I think I’ve put my cock through enough torture.”

  “All right. Tell me what to do,” she whispered.

  “Let me get a condom.”

  “I think you better put it on.”

  By the time he turned back to the bed, Addie had stripped off the cover and was lying on the crisp white sheet. She’d thought she might be shy, but the way Will looked at her, the way Will looked—stopped her feeling awkward or embarrassed. It felt like she’d been waiting for this all her life, for someone to like her, to want her. There was no doubt that Will wanted her. His cock looked huge, the swollen veins winding down its length, his balls drawn up tight beneath. She watched him put on the condom, one hand pinching the tip, the other rolling it down, and Addie wished he didn’t have to wear it so she could feel him skin to skin.

  Will lay on his side next to her.

  “Okay, gorgeous?” he asked.

  She nodded.

  He rolled onto his back. “You go on top, Addie. Then you’re the one in control. You can take it as fast or as slow as you like—within reason.”

  Addie took his cock in her hand and squeezed gently. Will hissed and yanked down on his balls.

  “Playing with fire, Addie.”

  Her body was already in flames. Treasuring the heat and strength of him, she straddled Will and guided his shaft between the damp folds of her pussy. His hands settled on her hips and Addie let him slide a little way inside, her hand still wrapped around the base of his cock. She felt the beat of his heart in her palm and lowered herself a little more.

  “Oh Christ,” Will gasped.

  Addie knew he’d fit but even so she hesitated, her knees shaking.

  “You can move your hand off my cock now, Addie. I think it knows where to go.”

  She sank down and down and felt Will tremble beneath her. As her hands slid to his chest, Will’s thumbs grazed the angular bones of her hips. Addie dropped until she lay on Will’s chest.

  “That feels so good,” he whispered. “Warm and wet and tight. Oh God, don’t move for a minute.”

  Addie tightened her muscles around his shaft.

  “Oh fuck,” Will gasped. “Move.”

  She pushed herself upright. “That wasn’t a minute.”

  Her senses were awash. Aware of her own wetness, her own need, she wanted to make Will happy, wanted him to feel as excited as her. Addie’s head whirled as Will pulled her against him, his face tense with concentration. Addie pushed herself onto Will as he thrust against her. Addie could feel him all over her body. Bursts of pleasure exploding inside her. He was hard and hot and smooth and Addie needed more. She moved faster, sank down harder and her chest tightened and relaxed, then her legs and arms joined in, her spine, her belly. The sensations built like a tower of blocks, higher and higher, coming so fast one on the other the structure began to topple. Acute pleasure surged though her body.

  And through it all she knew Will was with her. His gaze never moved from her face. Waiting for her. He’s the one, she thought.

  “Will.”

  One last thrust and he tipped her straight over the edge.

  Her climax overwhelmed her, every molecule in her body in freefall to bliss. Addie clutched at his shoulders, knowing as she fell that Will tumbled with her. Bright sparks danced in her vision as Will pulled her into his arms.

  The way he held her and kept holding her made Addie’s heart want to jump from her body into his. Will stroked her back as their breathing calmed and their pulse rate steadied.

  “Can we do it again?” Addie whispered.

  Will laughed and she felt his cock jerk inside her. “Soon. I need to get rid of the condom.”

  Addie lifted herself off him and lay back as Will rolled over to sit up. “How soon?” she asked.

  His shoulders shook and he turned to smile at her. “Oh God, I’ve created a sex-fiend. How about we have a bath, order something to eat and then maybe, if I ask my cock really nicely, he might deign to put in a repeat performance.”

  “We can stay all night, can’t we?
”

  “I’m going to be disappointed if we don’t.”

  Will took her hand and tugged her to the bathroom. He started the water running in the tub and tipped in all three bottles of bath gel. Addie was mesmerized by his backside. Tight, firm, pert, no dimples, it was simply beautiful. What would he do if she kissed it? Will bent over the tub agitating the water to make it froth and Addie slipped behind him and pressed her lips at the bottom of his spine. His low groan encouraged her to continue. Addie slid her hands up his thighs and landed feathery kisses all over his arse. His muscles clenched under her mouth and she nipped him. Not easy when there was no spare skin.

  A moment later she was under the foam. In one swift turn and scoop, Will had lifted her into the tub. Addie came up spluttering as Will climbed in. They were all arms and legs, water and suds sloshing everywhere as they settled down with Will on his back and Addie lying face down on top of him.

  There was nowhere near enough room but it was somehow more fun because of that.

  “Comfy?” Will asked.

  Will’s cock had recovered and was wedged between them. Addie’s legs were crunched up and her knees killing her. “I can’t think when I’ve ever been more comfortable.”

  He laughed and lifted her a little higher so her head was level with his. Will blew foam off her chin and kissed her. Addie thought this must be what it was like to be struck by lightning. Instant sizzle, limbs atremble, heart racing. How much she’d missed. All those teenage years when she could have experienced this but no one had ever wanted her. And yet in a way she wasn’t sorry because it made what she felt now with Will, even more special.

  His hands swept up and down her back, teasing the crease of her bottom. Addie rubbed herself against him, desperate to have him back inside her.

  “Addie, take it easy. I don’t have a condom.”

  She didn’t care. Well she did, but at the same time, she didn’t. Overwhelmed by lust, sensible thought had gone on vacation.

  “Hold still,” Will whispered.

  He sank deeper into the foam and lifted her over him so her breast pressed against his mouth. Addie groaned as he sucked, groaned louder as she felt his fingers slide over her arse and into her pussy. One finger diving into her while another teased her clit. Within moments Addie was gulping, muscles reawakened, tremors gathering strength. How come this felt so much better when a guy did it? Harder she thought, and Will rubbed harder. Softer she thought and his touch eased off. “How did—?”

  The sentence vanished as she came, crying and gasping with delight.

  No sooner had her breathing eased than Will shifted her and sent a cascade of water onto the floor. He knelt in the tub at Addie’s feet. She sat out of the water on the short back edge of the bath with her bottom resting on the rim and her shoulders pressed against the tiled wall. Addie brushed a slab of foam from his cheek and stared into his eyes. They looked darker than she’d ever seen them. Will put her hands on his shoulders. “Hold tight.” Then he spread her legs and lifted them onto the sides of the tub.

  When he kissed his way down her stomach and buried his face between her legs, Addie stopped breathing. Oh God. Is he going to—yes, he is. His tongue swept over her swollen folds. Addie thought it was a physical impossibility to keep coming and coming but the tell-tale tickle of muscles coming to life told her she was wrong. Her hands moved from his shoulders to his head and she threaded her fingers in his wet hair. Watching him do this turned her on like a light bulb, the sensation lighting her up like a starburst.

  Tongue, teeth, nose, chin, lips—Will licked, fluttered, lapped, nipped at her until Addie trembled so hard she thought she’d slide into the bath. The feel of him just breathing on her there drew breathy cries from her throat. He wrapped one hand around her hip and the other joined his tongue. When he sucked her clit, Addie’s head slammed back against the tiles. At the same time she pushed her pelvis toward him.

  Will thrust two fingers gently inside her while he massaged her clit with his tongue. The rhythmic stimulation both calmed and excited. Addie’s muscles tensed and relaxed. “Oh God, could you just…keep doing that until I pass out.”

  She felt Will laugh, then his fingers tilted up inside her and Addie’s eyes sprang open. She needed to wee. Now. Shit.

  “Will.” Oh God, how can I tell him that?

  Addie wasn’t sure he’d have heard anyway. His mouth kept working, his fingers massaging some place inside her that— Oh, don’t need to wee anymore.

  “If you stop, I’ll kill you,” Addie muttered.

  This was something she’d never felt before, as though she was coming and coming and it wasn’t going to stop as if she rode on a wave that never broke. Her muscles contracted then relaxed and each time the sensation began again, another set of muscles joined it. Addie could hear weird noises echoing around her. It couldn’t be Will, his mouth was otherwise occupied. It must be her.

  The waves grew larger and larger, her muscles tightening almost to the point of pain and Addie headed for what she knew was going to be the biggest orgasm she’d ever had. She stopped breathing as her whole body went taut.

  Once, twice, three times. Oh can’t count.

  Stars? Addie saw constellations. She thought her head must have exploded because the rest of her body had fallen to pieces.

  “Addie.”

  Oh God, could that happen again? Please? Her head was spinning.

  “Addie!”

  She didn’t want to be greedy, but would Will object to being locked in her bedroom forever? Why couldn’t she see properly?

  “Addie. Breathe!”

  Plunged under the water and Addie came up coughing, Will’s anxious eyes looking down at her.

  “Are you okay?”

  “Wha…di…ho.”

  “Try again.”

  She nodded and tried to scoot back onto the edge of the tub. Will dragged her back with a laugh. “Not that. I meant try to talk again.”

  “I’m fine,” she said.

  Will rubbed his scalp. “I’m not. I’m going to bald if we can’t figure out somewhere else for you to put your hands.”

  “Sorry.”

  “I’m teasing.” He wrapped his arms and legs around her. “You screamed. I’ve never made anyone scream before. Well, only when I took the snake I’d found into the kitchen to show my mother. Though you screamed louder.”

  “Oh God.”

  “I think I found your G-spot.”

  “My Will spot. I’m really hungry now.”

  He laughed.

  “But what—” Addie looked at his still erect cock.

  “Let’s eat first. Unlike women, men have a limited number of times they can come in one night. We’ll get dressed and go down to the restaurant. We both need a rest.”

  After they’d dried each other, Addie used the towels to mop up the puddles from the bathroom floor. Her thighs ached, her arms ached. In fact, there wasn’t much that didn’t ache. She hadn’t realized sex was so exhausting, nor so much fun. She watched as Will put on his boxers. Her eyes wandered over his long lean body. His hair was damp. His skin glowed. How could she be so lucky?

  “Addie?”

  “Huh?” Her head shot up.

  Will smiled. “Aren’t you going to get dressed?”

  “Will you stay in the bathroom until I’m ready? I’ve got a surprise.”

  But the moment she emptied the carrier bags on the bed, she wasn’t sure if she was brave enough. These were clothes she’d intended to keep in her room, clothes to practice being seductive, clothes to make her the one who was wanted. Did she even need them now?

  When Will came out of the bathroom, he groaned.

  “God, Addie, are you trying to give me a heart attack?”

  She teetered in red high heels that made her legs look as though they went on forever. A red tube dress clung to her body, only it didn’t cling to much of it. Will didn’t think there was anything underneath.

  “Too much?” she asked, anxiety etc
hed on her face.

  “Yes, I’d like to rip it off right now.”

  She giggled.

  Will sighed. “It’s no good. We can’t go downstairs. I’ll be arrested. Look at my boxers. That’s not going to go away. We’ll eat in here.”

  Just as Will finished relaying the order, his mobile rang. He put the hotel phone down and glanced at the display on his mobile. His heart sank. Why hadn’t he switched the thing off? He’d meant to and been distracted.

  “It’s okay, answer it.” Addie smiled at him.

  It wasn’t okay and he didn’t want to answer it. Will made a snap decision. If he switched if off without speaking, then Addie would guess who it was. If he answered, he might be able to pretend it was Ed.

  “Hi.” Will tried to keep his voice light and his face neutral.

  Vee was crying. “Will, you have to come.”

  “Why?”

  “I need you.”

  “Where are you?” Though he knew.

  “At the house.”

  “What’s the matter?” he asked.

  He looked up and saw Addie walk into the bathroom, shoulders down. She knew.

  “What is it?” he asked, his eyes on the bathroom door.

  “Will, I’ve done something stupid. I’ve taken tablets and I’m scared.”

  His heart started to pound. “What have you taken?”

  “I don’t know. Some pills. Come back. Please.”

  Fuck. Fuck. “Ring for an ambulance.” Will gathered his clothes.

  “Is that all you have to say?”

  “Vee, if you’ve taken pills, ring for an ambulance.”

  “What’s the point? You don’t care whether I’m alive or not. You don’t want me anymore. Just forget it, Will. Forget I rang.”

  The line went dead and Will groaned.

  Addie sat on the edge of the tub, her heart being firmly squeezed on a juicer. The door opened and Will stood there, pale-faced and dressed.

  “She didn’t go back to London, then?” Addie asked, hoping she was wrong.

  “No, I thought—”

  “It’s okay.” Addie tried to look as though she meant it. “Go, it’s all right.”

  “It’s not all right,” he muttered, “but I do have to go. It’s an emergency.”
