Watching her the whole while, he bent and took off his boots, then lifted his shirt over his head and tossed it to the side. His dog tags clanked against his chest before nestling between his breastbones in the small trail of fine dark hair. His skin was so deeply tanned she knew he spent a lot of time in the sun shirtless.
He stopped and stared. “This is just how I imagined.”
She nervously played with the skirt of her gown, alternately smoothing and plucking at the material. “I’m sure you didn’t picture me in this.”
Sean’s eyes seemed to glow. “I’m flexible. Put your hands above your head.”
His command caught her by surprise. When she hesitated, he gestured with his chin. “Now,” he added, his voice deep and sexy.
Von slowly reached up and behind. Sean’s intent gaze made her feel like a temptress. When her fingers brushed the spines of her decorative, brass iron headboard, he spoke. “Hold on and don’t let go.”
The position arched her back and lifted her breasts. She wrapped her fingers around the rail and held on tight, watching Sean through lowered eyelids.
Sean took a deep breath. “Damn, that’s a sexy look on your face.”
He thought she was sexy? He should see the view she had. Once again her gaze traveled up what she knew to be thick, bulging thigh muscles hidden in those loose, camouflage cargo pants he wore. The waistband rode low on his slender waist, giving an enticing peek at his belly button and the trail of hair that disappeared beneath the green button. The front of his pants tented and Von could see the hard knob of his cock resting against the material, obviously unrestrained by any type of underwear. She licked her suddenly dry lips and Sean cursed.
“Baby, you keep looking at me like that and this is going to be over before it’s started,” he warned.
Von ignored him in favor of continuing her study. She counted the ridges of his stomach. Two, four, six—the man had a rare eight pack. Clearly defined pecs, minimal chest hair, biceps that looked pumped even while relaxed...
Von ran her tongue around her mouth again. This time to catch the drool she felt escaping.
Sean groaned and his penis flexed. A damp spot appeared. “You’re killing me here.”
She raised dazed eyes to his. What is he talking about?
He climbed onto the bed and undid the buttons of her gown, one by one, taking his sweet time. Then he parted the material, leaving a trail skin visible from neck to navel. She thought he would have bared her breasts completely, but he seemed content to leave only the swells showing. “Perfect,” he murmured, observing his handiwork.
Retreating until his feet hit the floor, Sean maneuvered his way to the bottom of the bed and knelt. Von rose onto her elbows to see what he was about.
“I told you not to move,” he commented mildly without taking his gaze away from her feet.
Von immediately dropped back into position, though curiosity was burning a hole inside.
Her gaze on the ceiling, she felt his hand cup her foot. “You have beautiful feet.”
Those ugly things? Von curled her toes self-consciously. Her feet were long and so bony the veins stood out. Her second toe slightly longer than the first, even weekly pedicures couldn’t beatify them and he thought they were beautiful?
Sean rubbed the pad of his thumb down her instep and Von flinched, her leg automatically jerking from the contact. He tightened his grip.
“Sensitive?”
“Ticklish,” she corrected. “Very ticklish.”
Sean rumbled something that sounded like approval. He raised her leg a few inches and she felt the heat of his breath seconds before his teeth bit down gently on her arch.
“Sean!” She wasn’t quite sure if that was a protest. Her mind couldn’t wrap itself around the idea of his mouth on her foot.
He followed the bite with a lick, working his way up the center of her foot to nibble on each toe, suckling the biggest one. Mortified, Von closed her eyes. What he was doing was too intimate, too taboo. It embarrassed her that it also turned her on.
“I can smell your arousal,” Sean told her as he switched his attention to her other foot.
With nibbles, licks and kisses, Sean worked his way from her feet to her ankles, then up the inside of both legs, randomly switching back and forth. The gown rose with him. He paid special attention to the sensitive skin behind her knees, and by the time he reached her inner thighs, Von’s grip on the bars was painful and she audibly panted for breath.
She glanced down and the sight of his mouth, inches from her sex, caused her vaginal muscles to spasm. Von dropped her head onto the pillow, afraid she’d spontaneously combust if she continued watching. And wouldn’t that be a shame to die before experiencing her deepest fantasy.
Sean braced his hands on her inner legs and pushed, widening the space to gain more room. Cold air immediately hit Von’s intimate parts, making her very aware of how wet and exposed she was. He brought his face close to her sex and...inhaled?
“You smell so good, I’m going to gobble you right up.”
Von flushed as her body released flood of fluid at his words.
“Mmm, you like the idea. Well, let’s not keep either one of us waiting.”
He spread her labia and tasted her with quick darts of his tongue. Before she could adjust, he licked with the flat of his tongue, straight up her slit, adding a little swirl around her clit.
“Oh God!”
“Oh baby, we’re just getting started. Don’t let go!”
What followed was the most exquisite torture. Sean moaned and hummed his appreciation of her taste, and settled in like he planned to be at it all night. Von quaked, shivered, and bit her lips until she tasted blood, trying to hold in the sounds of her pleasure. Sean apparently took her silence as a challenged and pulled out all the stops.
Long minutes later, Von detonated like a rocket when he sucked her clit and thrust two fingers deep and rubbed her front wall. The scream that ripped out of her should have sent her elderly downstairs neighbor to his phone to dial 911.
“Shit, that’s fucking sexy,” he growled when her body collapsed limply onto the mattress. “Again.”
“No,” she responded weakly, sure her heart couldn’t take anymore. That belabored organ thumped so hard in her chest, she thought it would burst through her ribcage.
“Yes,” he stated firmly and buried his face between her legs. He stroked, licked, and sucked until she orgasmed again.
Tears streamed from her eyes as he crawled up her body until his hips were right over hers. Sean reached underneath and canted her hips. “Wrap your legs around my waist.”
I have legs? She couldn’t feel them, never mind move ‘em.
Fortunately he didn’t wait for her to find the energy. He reached back with one hand, hooked her under her knee and lifted her leg. The flexing of his hips had his straining penis rubbing through her slit before it lodged in the opening of her vagina.
“Hold on,” he growled. “This is going to be quick.”
He plunged deep and set up a pounding rhythm. With each downward drive, his shaft made constant contact with her clit. It was like being jolted with a live wire. Von brought her other leg up and wrapped both of them around his waist. She forgot about the headboard and clung to Sean instead, clutching his shoulders, her nails digging tight. Her face was level with his chest as he braced on his forearms above her.
Something grew, building inside her with such power Von didn’t know how to handle it. Every muscle in her body grew rigid, straining toward some precipice. When it broke, she buried her teeth in Sean’s pectoral muscle, needing to ground herself in some manner.
Above her Sean jolted, cursed, slammed in to the hilt and froze, a howl ripping from his lips.
Sensations and images burst into Von’s mind in a dizzying rush. Deep inside something clicked into place. Her soul merged with Sean’s. The force of it caused her to blackout.
****
“Shit! Fuck! Damn!” Sean c
ollapsed on top of his mate. Never in his life had he come so hard. He still shook with the intensity of it. Von’s sheath rippled and contracted around him in mini-aftershocks.
Sean knew he needed to move. His weight had to be crushing her, but he didn’t have the strength. The most he could manage was to shift slightly to the right. Sean buried his face in her hair and breathed hard, sucking oxygen into his starved lungs.
He had no idea making love with Von would be so...so... Words failed him. One day he’d be able to touch this woman—his woman, his wolf snarled—without losing his mind. Sean knew his way around a woman’s body but with Von, there was no finesse, no well thought out expertise. His libido took over and his mind left the playing field.
God, he hadn’t even taken time to take off his pants. They still hung low on his hips where he’d pushed them, his only thought to get inside Von now. Von’s gown was bunched around her waist. It was a miracle she’d come because once he’d gotten his cock inside of her, there’d been no holding back.
The mark on his chest throbbed where she bit him. He wouldn’t be surprised to see blood. They were well and truly connected now. He’d felt his soul rip open and Von flood in to fill a place he hadn’t realized was empty. He knew she had to have felt it, too.
She loved him. Sean could feel it deep inside. Von’s heart belonged to him, but her mind? That he wasn’t sure of. Yes, she’d given herself to him tonight. The question is, how would she feel tomorrow in the harsh light of day?
Then there’s the problem of what he was. How did he tell Von about Lycans, mates, and bonds? His mind tried to worry but his body was too sated. It dragged him down into sleep.
Still deeply embedded and semi-hard, his body mostly pinning hers to the mattress, Sean gave up the fight and slept.
Chapter Nine
Von moved and the situational awareness he’d learned as a child in foster homes and later honed in the military had him awake and alert between one heartbeat and the next. She stirred again and he propped up on one elbow. His internal clock told him less than an hour had passed. Her eyes slowly opened and her gaze connected with his.
He couldn’t help but smile. She had the look of a woman well and truly loved. “Hey, beautiful.”
“Sean.” She glanced around nervously.
“Uh-uh-uh. Regrets not allowed. The night’s still young and I still have plenty more fantasies to fulfill.”
A small smile peeped out. “You mean this,” she pointed, indicating their still joined bodies, “wasn’t enough?”
“Oh, darling. This was just the appetizer. I want the full meal deal. But first...” He rolled to the side and stripped off his pants, tossing them to the side. Then he straddled her body and began tugging on her nightgown. “...I need to get both of us naked.”
Von’s intent gaze concentrated on his penis and he felt that member responding. When it swelled, her face reddened and he chuckled. Her gaze jerked to his. Von’s face disappeared briefly, swallowed by the voluminous gown as he pulled it over her head and off. As soon as her hands were free, she covered her breasts with her arms.
“Oh, no you don’t. No hiding.” Sean un-tucked them and held them out to the sides.
In the soft glow of the bedside lamp, he looked down her body. Her pert little nipples reminded him of chocolate kisses perched atop mounds of Jamoca ice cream. Sean’s mouth salivated. He glanced up to find Von watching his cock with curious fascination.
Sinking back on his haunches, he brought her hands forward and laid them on his thighs. “Touch me.”
She looked at him, a question in her eyes.
“Anywhere. Any way you please, as long as your hands are on me.”
Her gaze roamed over his body and the hunger and feminine appreciation in her expression made him happy about all the PT he’d put in over the last few months. Sean straightened his shoulders and stuck out his chest, pulling in his already flat stomach. He just barely resisted the urge to flex his muscles and show off a bit.
“Anywhere?” Her expression was so innocently provocative that Sean felt his cock jerk and a bead of moisture leaked from the tip.
“Anywhere and any how, but first...” his gaze landed on the small diamond solitaire sparkling in the lamplight on the middle finger of her left hand, “...let’s get rid of this.”
He watched close for her reaction as he tugged the engagement ring off her finger and tossed it onto the floor. Von didn’t protest and her body didn’t tense. She didn’t even track the ring with her eyes when he threw it. Her gaze remained steadily on his. Sean breathed a silent sigh of relief.
Her gaze dropped once more to his erection and she licked her lips. Sean bit back a groan at the thought of her mouth on his dick.
“Anything I want?” She lifted heavy lidded eyes to his and the hunger he saw in them almost made him topple onto her and thrust inside her tight, waiting heat. Instead, he gritted his teeth, shut his eyes, and nodded.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice concerned.
“Nothing,” he bit out through his clenched mouth. “You simply have no idea how much I want to fuck you right now.”
“I think I do.” A soft finger stroked down the side of his penis and he cursed.
“Lie down on the mattress, hands above your head, legs spread wide.”
Sean’s eyes popped open at the command.
One look at her expression had him hurrying to obey. His shy, virginal mate was getting off on the idea of being in control. Sean made a mental note to remember this for future reference. And there would be a future between them.
As soon as he was in position, Von crawled over him to kneel between his legs. Her hair pooled over her shoulders, obscuring her breasts and sex like a modern day Lady Godiva.
“Don’t watch me.”
She’s kidding, right?
“I can’t do this if you’re watching me.”
Damn, she’s serious. Sean laid his head on the pillow and gazed at the ceiling, curiosity burning a hole in him. Then he felt it. Von’s hands on his inner thighs, fingers spread wide as she glided them forward toward his heavy, throbbing sex. The muscles in his legs immediately tightened.
She reached the inner crease and paused, her hands perfectly framing his balls and cock. Sean clenched his fingers around the railing. Von moved one of her hands and gently captured his balls, rolling the sack around in her palm before squeezing gently. He hissed and his hips lifted of their own accord.
“You like this?”
“Yes.” He barely managed not to growl his response.
She tugged gently on his scrotum then shifted her hold to the base of his cock. He could feel her breath on the sensitive skin as she explored his sex, stroking, gripping, and caressing his meat with feminine curiosity he swore would kill him before she was satisfied.
Then something moist touched the tip. The muscles in Sean’s arms bulged as he fought to keep from lurching off the mattress. It shocked him how the most innocent of touches from this woman was more powerful than the ministrations of the most experience whore.
“You taste...” Von licked him again and his hips shot off the bed in reaction.
“Shit!”
“...good. Salty but good. Nothing like I expected.”
Gathering his fragile control, Sean flattened his lower body to the mattress and managed to semi-calmly ask, “What did yo—” This time, Sean’s upper body arched off the bed when she engulfed the whole head of his cock in her mouth and gently sucked.
“Son of a bitch!” If she kept that up, he was going to blow, and he didn’t think she was ready for that. “Von, baby, you have to stop. I’ll come if you don’t,” he hoarsely warned.
She hummed and took him deeper.
He couldn’t help himself. Sean pumped his hips, fucking her mouth. Von gripped the base of his shaft in her fist and sucked him harder. She did something with her tongue and he came off the bed with a roar as his beast broke loose.
When Sean came back to
himself, his cock was buried balls deep inside of Von’s sweet pussy and he was shaking and shivering like he had Palsy after coming so hard he’d seen stars. He dropped his head on the mattress beside hers, unable to believe he’d lost his cool like that. Von lazily stroked his back.
“Did I hurt you?”
“No.”
“You’re sure? I lost control.”
“Yes, I know.” Her tone was lazy, smug.
Sean raised his head and looked at her. Yep, the tone matched the expression. “You appear to be mighty pleased with yourself.”
She smiled and pushed a lock of hair off his forehead. “I am. I like knowing I can affect you this way.” The smile faded. “With Derrick...”
Sean placed his finger over her lips. “Don’t mention him. Not here, not now.”
She twisted her face away. “I have to tell you this.”
Von waited until he reluctantly nodded.
“With him...I hated the way he was always in control. It’s like nothing I did ever affected him. It made me feel...” She seemed to be searching for words. “I made me wonder if he really wanted me. If he found me sexy and attractive, or if he was just toying with me.”
Sean cupped her face. “You’ll never have to wonder with me. You look at me with those pretty brown eyes of yours and I instantly get hard. You touch me and I have to fight to keep from throwing you against the nearest hard surface and fucking you silly. And when I’m inside of you, it takes everything within me to make sure you come before I do. If I could live with my cock buried inside your pussy, I would.”
Her eyes were wide by the time he finished, and new moisture coated his hardening dick.
“Did you come just now?”
Von slowly shook her head.
“You will this time.” Sean slowly set about making his promise a reality.
