Chapter 8
Scuttling backwards, Nicky prayed to God that the door would open and she would tumble out. “Bastard! Lying sack of shit, bastard! I trusted you and I cared for you.”
“Whoa, no! What I mean is that’s what you thought. You believe I’m married, right?”
“Yes. No. Yes, hell, I don’t understand. What the fuck are you saying?”
“I’m not married, Nicky.”
Nicky narrowed her eyes. “Which one is it, Mick? You’re lying one way or the other. I can’t believe this! I must be the biggest fool in the entire world.”
“No.”
“Yes.” Nicky stared into his eyes and while they seemed sincere, so had Tim’s. Every day he’d lied to her when they had been together, professing his undying love when he was already married and had a little girl. It took years to ease the pain and the humiliation. Blinking back tears, she fought the growing rage and the embarrassment hovering over her. “I can’t do this again!”
“Listen to me, luv. No, I’m not lying to you.” Mick reached into his back pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper.
“I saw the picture, Mick. You can’t lie to me any longer.”
“Anyone ever tell you that you talk too much?” Unfolding it, he sighed. “Veronica told me what happened and about Froggy. I never thought that picture would do damage and especially to you.”
“Sure, just like she betrayed me, telling you all about the worst moment of my life! Damn you both!” Nicky jerked backwards, longing to reach out and slap him. “Damn you!”
Mick hissed, tossed the paper onto the seat and jerked her hard against his body. “Listen to me. You and I belong together!”
“No!” Kicking out with her knee, she barely missed his groin.
Mick yanked her tied hands up and threw them around his neck, crushing her lips with his, forcing his tongue inside her mouth.
Nicky fought the kiss, pulling against him, wrestling with her demons, but the intense feeling of desire was too great. As he held her tightly, the kiss becoming a passionate reminder of what they had, her resolve crumbled. The hard curve of his body took her breath away as the hunger built, sizzling her blood.
When he finally broke the kiss, he took her hands and pressed his lips against her fingers. “I should have stopped this the moment I heard, but I didn’t think you’d listen.”
She sighed and shook her head. “How can I believe you? I was so hurt when you mentioned his name. You don’t know what I went through. I only told Veronica part of the wretched story. I was such a fool. But damn her for telling you!”
“I understand you’re hurt and angry but Veronica told me about Tim because she needed for me to understand why you freaked so badly. She was desperate to try and figure out whatever news you found out and refused to tell her. When she cornered Froggy, boy you better believe she came to me. She was one angry woman.”
Nicky hissed. “So what? That didn’t give her the right.”
“And if this Tim person was anywhere near me, I would beat him to a bloody pulp for hurting you that way.” Snarling, he cupped her chin and lifted it gently, his smile genuine. “You were never a fool. You have a heart like no other woman I’ve ever known.”
She could envision big, strong, he-man Mick thrashing Tim who stood barely five-foot-eight. The thought gave her pause. “You know, I think I would let you. But the picture was pretty telling and when Froggy showed me the photo album, I just shut down.”
“Of course, you would think I was married.” Mick grabbed the paper and held it up in front of her. “She’s a good friend of mine, nothing more. As a matter of fact, I haven’t talked to Alisha in two years.”
Nicky craned her neck to stare at the vibrantly colored photograph. Her eyes darted back and forth across the two people until she finally smiled. “I must admit, you look damn good as a cover model. Is that you on her book?”
“Well, airbrushed to death, but yes.” Chuckling, Mick tossed it aside. “Satisfied?”
“Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“Would you have believed me, in truth, if I hadn’t found this?”
“No, you’re right. The pain came flashing back and I wouldn’t have listened to any of you.”
“That’s what we thought,” Mick said, kissing the end of her nose as he began to untie her.
“Why all of this?”
“Well, I guess because the original plan was to have us go on the date together. When I objected then I expect that Veronica refused to lose. Besides, she thinks she owes me.”
Nicky smiled and opened her mouth to tell him so many things. “Really?”
Mick absently brushed the tip of his finger down from her neck to her breasts. “Let’s just say we both might have to end up thanking her.”
“Why is that?” Nicky breathed, her heart racing as the shadow of pain dimmed the shimmer in his eyes. “Tell me. Please.” She knew in her heart that Veronica hadn’t been lying. All of this was because of guilt and love. As every emotion coursed through her system, she fought to keep from spilling what she knew.
“Truthfully? She reminded me to live again.” He looked away.
“Because of Susi?” she asked sheepishly.
He opened his mouth and shook his head as he brushed his thumb across her cheek. “I guess we were all harboring difficult pasts.”
Nicky took his hand and kissed his fingers. “Veronica cornered me. I don’t know anything but that Susi was an important woman from your past and that you were hurt. Maybe one day you’ll trust me enough to tell me.”
“Ah, luv, I trust you with my life.” He placed his fingers across her lips. “Now, the time for talking is done. I want nothing more than to you show you what kind of man I truly am.”
Shaking, she watched his expression of hunger and fought a whimper bubbling just below the surface. As he cupped her breasts, kneading the tender flesh, he lifted his head slowly and gazed into her eyes and she could swear there was a glimmer of love in his darkened pools. “Mick.”
Flicking his fingers back and forth across her nipples, he let out his breath slowly, his eyes mere slits. Gingerly he took the hard pebbles between his fingers and pinched as he brushed his lips across hers, darting his tongue just inside.
Nicky groaned and palmed his chest, the rope biting into her wrists. Her panties were already damp, the scent wafting between them. Every part of her trembled from his touch, his hot breath. “Oh, yes.”
He kept his lips barely touching as he pinched harder, twisting her nipples until she grunted. Capturing her mouth, he pressed his tongue inside, exploring the dark recesses. Their tongues entwined and the kiss became a passionate roar.
Her heart racing, she clawed at his naked chest, as fire tore through her system, sending shimmers of light dancing across her vision. Every part of her hungered for the brawny man and as the kiss became more manic, savage, she could no longer hold back.
Breaking the kiss, he dragged her up onto her knees and unfastened her skirt, jerking the slinky material down her legs. “I have to taste you.”
“Mick, I…” Unable to think clearly, Nicky panted as every nerve ending was seared from the longing rushing through her system. She kicked off her heels and struggled to reach his jeans, fumbling with the button.
“Nicky.” His timbre became a mixture of lust and need and Mick pushed her back, yanking off the skirt.
“Oh!” His forceful actions threw her. She trembled as his fingers wrapped around the thin lace of her panties.
In one easy move, he ripped them from her body, grunting like a wild animal.
“Oh!” Nicky whimpered, every part of her body shaking as his eyes blazed a long sensuous trail down the length of her body and back up, licking his lips. He was going to eat her alive. Blinking furiously, she jerked at the zipper on his tight jeans.
Chuckling, Mick eased her back to her knees. “Seems like there’s something you want. He nipped her bottom lip, taking the tender flesh into his mo
uth, sucking as he cupped her buttocks, squeezing and caressing.
“I do.” Electric jolts thumped into her body, sending another series of vibrant light flashing across the periphery of her vision. She managed to free his cock and relished in the way the thick muscle throbbed in her hand. “Yes.”
“Then you’ll have what you crave.” Mick kissed her softly and pushed the dense material past his hips.
Darting her tongue out, she stroked him, going up and down on his shaft.
“Mmm… that feels good.” Mick sighed and grazed his hands over her shoulders, entwining his fingers in her long locks as she continued fondling him. “Hot, baby, so damn hot.”
Nicky cupped his balls, squeezing them with enough pressure he moaned. “I want to taste you.” In truth, she’d wanted nothing so desperately in her life. This man was her drug.
Mick hissed and licked his lips. “You sure you do?”
“More than sure.”
In one swift move, he grabbed her by the hips and swung her around as he lay back onto the seat, pulling her down with him. Lifting her hips, he dragged her back until she was straddling his face.
“Oh God!” The thought of sucking his cock as he ate her forced a long whimper to erupt from her mouth. It had been years and the salacious and wonderful act was one of her favorites.
“I’m going to lick that delicious pussy of yours until you come more than once.”
Shivering, she wrapped her hands around his cock and cooed, “And I’m going to suck you until you beg me to stop.” Lowering her body, she darted her tongue across his cockhead, just once, teasing.
In response, Mick hissed and opened her pussy lips, pushing his tongue deep inside her cunt.
“Oh fuck!” She froze as he began licking her furiously, lapping her cream as he swirled his finger around her clit. Every part of her body tingled as he drove his tongue deep inside. Barely able to concentrate, she licked across his sensitive slit.
Mick nibbled her tender flesh as he plunged his fingers in and out of her pussy, shaking his head back and forth with each long swipe. Grunting, he opened her up further, forcing her back into a deep arch.
Nicky blinked furiously as intense sensations rode through her body, sending jolt after jolt of white-hot electricity coursing through her system. With wild abandon, she licked down the length of his shaft, taking first one ball into her mouth and sucking the sweet flesh and then the other.
“Goddamn, luv,” Mick breathed and licked up and down the length of her pussy, sucking on the lips of her labia.
Her body shaking, she raked her teeth up the sensitive underside before taking his shaft down an inch at a time, using her strong jaw muscles to clamp over him. Maneuvering her hands, she stroked him, squeezing his balls. Every time his fingers thrust inside her cunt, she felt the climax racing around the bend. Barely able to concentrate, she began going up and down in rhythmic motions, taking him down inch by inch.
His legs began to shake as he drove his tongue deeper and deeper into her pussy. Mick pulled out his slickened fingers and slowly circled the opening to her ass.
Nicky stiffened, knowing exactly what he was going to do. She panted and squeezed her mouth over his cock, feeling the string of pre-cum trickling into her mouth.
“Fuck!” Purring, he slid a finger inside her dark cavern, pushing it in and out slowly, gently.
Nicky shivered and stopped briefly as he thrust in further. Dear God, nothing had ever felt so good. Mick kicked his legs as if to remind her of her task. Gripping the base of his cock, she held him tightly, fingering his balls as she went up and down until the tip hit the back of her throat.
Mick moaned and pushed a second finger inside her ass, pressing against the tight ring of muscle. His whisper hoarse, he growled, “I'll take you inside your tight hole.” Inserting a third finger, he began fucking her, slowly at first as her muscles gripped around the invasion.
She shuddered and went up and down on the entire shaft, hungrier than she had ever been for a man. The rumbling sensation of the motor drummed through her, fueling her raging fire. As the dichotomy of pain and pleasure seared her nerve endings, she knew she couldn’t hold back the climax much longer.
Mick fucked her ass as hard as the position would allow. “Come, luv. Come for me. I want to taste all of you.”
The feel of his hot breath skipping across her pussy was too much. Blinding white light dragged her into the depths of ecstasy. Biting back a scream, every part of her body began to shake violently.
“That’s it, come for me.” Mick licked up and down the length of her pussy, working in orchestration with his fingers.
She could tell he was close. Her pussy quivered as she tried to hold back the rushing electric jolts, sucking him harder. “Mmm… mmm…”
Mick moaned, his legs bouncing up and down.
The effect drove his cock in and out, fucking her mouth in ragged, hard drives. Suddenly the tidal wave swept through her body, leaving her breathless. “Mick!” A bedraggled scream erupted from her mouth as she came in wave after wave of blinding ecstasy.
Mick issued a strangled cry as his body bucked.
As the first stream of hot cum erupted into her mouth, the taste of him salty and sweet gave her shivers skating down her spine. She was shocked how much she enjoyed this, wanting so much more. She held him tightly, sucking and licking as he growled.
“Sweet Gods above!” Mick hissed as he continued licking, refusing to let her go.
When she finally released her hold, she gasped. “Yes!” Laughing, Nicky tossed her head back as the wonderful feelings of rapture continued taking her to new heights of pleasure. She closed her eyes and giggled, gathering the pearl beads that had trickled down her chin with her tongue.
“Damn, woman.”
Sighing, she was content—until the slice of harsh light forced her to jerk her head up.
“Oh fuck! I…” Laughter floated into the back of the limo.
Squinting, seeing Veronica’s face peering into the back of the limo, Travis’ and Jonathan’s inches behind hers forced Nicky to laugh as the heat rose from the tips of her toes. “Oh, no.”
“Hell, yes!” Veronica purred. “Now that’s a wild ride.”
“Sorry for our girl’s impetuous behavior,” Travis hissed.
“She’ll get a spanking later,” Jonathan added and patted Veronica on the butt.
Mick chuckled and struggled to sit up. “Such helpful friends.”
“Don’t you even go there, lover boys. You both were worried. Travis, didn’t you beg me to allow us to listen in?” Veronica cooed.
“You listened in while we were…” Nicky couldn’t say the word.
“Might even have learned a few things,” Jonathan mused. “I can say that you have an interesting purr when you come.”
Nicky heard Mick’s rumbling voice behind her as she blushed and covered her face. “I don’t believe you!” Her face flushing, she groaned as she looked back and forth between them. “My reputation is shot.”
“What reputation?” Veronica giggled.
“I’ll drag her ass out of here. I have to admit; Ride the Wild Pony was a fun event.” Travis smiled.
“You guys want a job?” Mick asked as he kissed Nicky on the side of her neck.
“Oh, no you don’t, big man. These boys only perform for me.” Veronica patted both men across the crotch.
Crack!
“Ouch!” Veronica purred.
“I think it’s the other way around. From now on you're under our control and we won’t let you meddle in other people’s lives.” Jonathan dragged her back into his body. “At least you came clean, but your days of matchmaking are over.” He held up a velvet collar, complete with dangling lock. “You have a contract to sign.”
Veronica’s eyes opened wide.
“Don’t you?” Travis added.
She glanced at Nicky and Mick and grinned. “A bet’s a bet.”
“Well, I guess your shameless plan worked,�
�� Mick chortled.
“Don’t you have one more confession, slave girl?” Jonathan whispered harshly.
Veronica wrinkled her nose. “Okay. I was the one who called Rod.”
“You did?” Nicky gasped. “You know, I thought so.”
“Why?” Mick asked.
“So, he would never bother you again.” Veronica’s eyes twinkled.
“God damn good plan, luv!” Mick chuckled.
“Why exactly did you interrupt us again?” Nicky smiled. The rush of adrenaline kicked in and she was having way too much fun.
“We thought, well, Jonathan’s right, we were listening and thought that something… that something was wrong. We’ll leave you alone now.” Veronica jerked away from Jonathan and leaned in.
“Time to go, darling.” Travis pulled her out of the way.
“One more thing. We’re almost there, to the place I mean. Oh hell, I’m happy for you.” Veronica slammed the door shut.
Mick slid his arm around her and chuckled. “At least it’s not the six o’ clock news.”
“Oh my God.” Nicky burst out laughing.
Mick eased her across his lap and brushed his fingers through her damp hair.
The door popped open and Veronica stuck her head inside. “Does that mean you’re not mad at me?”
Giving her the finger, Nicky smiled and shook her head. “I think you’re forgiven.”
“Good. Go back to whatever it is you were doing.” Veronica’s giggles could be heard after she shut the door.
Nicky sighed as Mick pressed a series of kisses into her neck. “Where are we going?”
Mick thought about it and laughed. “I have no bloody idea.”
“This is amazing. They did all this?” Nicky asked as she glanced around the room. “Who knew that that a jungle theme could be so damn hot in Richmond, Virginia?”
Mick chuckled as she gazed at the oversized bed complete with netting that surrounded the luxurious space, suspended from brass rings in the ceiling. The animal print motif was carried throughout the room. The stone fireplace was the perfect backdrop to the bearskin rug and while it was too warm to have a fire, the myriad of brightly lit candles created a fiery ambiance. “I guess they really think we are good together.” He grabbed her waist and swung her around to face him. “I have my opinion but what do you think?”
