“Well, I’m broke now,” Nick informed her in mock disgust.
“I can’t help it if you suck at this game.”
“No, I don’t suck. You cheat.”
“So?” Celestine responded not the slightest bit guilty about some of her Monopoly-playing maneuvers. The aim was to win. There was nothing specifically in the rules that said you could not cheat and if there was it was probably in fine print and no one read that. “You still owe me five hundred dollars.”
Nick held out his empty hands.
“I am strapped for cash. But I can pay you in another way.” He pushed the board aside and pounced on Celestine before she had time to react.
“What the…” Celestine was suddenly on her back with Nick between her legs pushing up her skirt and pulling down her panties.
“You have to stop wearing underwear, baby.” Nick flung the panties over his shoulder.
“What are you doing?” Dumb question for a woman whose legs were up in the air and spread wide open. As Nick’s tongue licked the deep cleft between her legs Celestine shrieked. To be honest she did not care what other things he planned to do as long as he did not stop what he was doing at that moment.
“I’m paying you back in kind and I’m expecting change.” Nick slowly slid his tongue in and out of her body, pulling out to flick her clit every so often to make Celestine squeal.
“I have to make sure I play Monopoly with you more often. You’re a fantastic loser.” She panted as she tried to fight back the orgasm that burning deep and uncontrollably inside her. She wanted Nick to be inside her when she came. Celestine reached forward trying to pull him toward her.
“What do you want, baby? Do you want to come?” Nick licked her ruthlessly.
“I’m going to come in your mouth.”
“So?” Nick murmured as he continued tonguing her clit. His fingers slid deep inside her, thrusting in and out, urging her to come.
Celestine hesitated no more. She screamed as the pleasure hit her, her vaginal muscles instantly clenching around his fingers.
“Damn, you are good, moonlight man,” Celestine panted as she slowly came back to earth.
Nick pulled Celestine onto her knees and gently pushed her until she was leaning up against a nearby chair. He unzipped his trousers and freed his erect, impatient cock.
“I want to be inside you now, baby.”
“Permission to enter granted.” Celestine spread her knees wider and shoved her ass back to receive Nick. Her fingers were good but his cock was so much better. She sighed as he sank deep into her body.
Nick thrust slowly and steadily in and out of her body, allowing all but the tip off his cock to break contact with her tight wet entrance.
“Oh, Nick…please…harder…” Celestine was instantly rewarded as she felt him slam hard into her body, his balls slapping against her ass.
“Put your hands between your legs. I want you to feel how well we fit together.”
Celestine could feel their joining and it made her even hotter.
“Come for me now, baby,” Nick demanded on a growl as his own hands covered hers.
Celestine pushed back hard against Nick to make sure she had every inch of his cock inside her as she came. She felt him come at the same moment she did.
As the tremors of their coming slowly subsided, Nick kissed the back of her neck tenderly.
“I believe that was worth five hundred dollars.”
“And then some…” Although her knees hurt, Celestine did not want to move from having Nick still inside her. “I think… What was that?” Celestine tilted her head to listen. “Did you hear that sound? What could that be?” It sounded as though a person was moving around outside.
“I have no idea but I’m going to find out.” Nick pulled out of Celestine. It sounded like it was someone outside, on his private property at night. That was not on. Nick hasty zipped up his trousers and pulled Celestine to her feet.
“I’ll go with you.”
“You have no pants on, baby.” He looked at the red, damp curls of her pussy, wishing that had not been so rudely interrupted.
“I thought you like me without pants?”
Nick kissed her lingeringly as his hands played with the curls between her legs.
“I do but I’m not about to share you with some intruder outside. Stay put. I won’t be long.”
How long was long? Was it okay to be impatient after ten minutes? Celestine thought so. Besides, she had her skirt and underwear back on so as far as she was concerned she had waited long enough. She went outside looking for Nick.
“This had better not be some weird joke, Nick Swan.” Even though the outside security light instantly came on, it seemed awfully dark to Celestine. She called out, trying to sound confident but feeling anything but. She was no weak-kneed wimp but she also wasn’t someone who thought wandering around in the dark a smart move either.
Suddenly there was a sound to her right as a figure sprang up in the darkness. Celestine yelped in fright as it darted off away from her. What the hell was going on? She was pretty sure she had not scared whoever that was away. What the hell was going on?
“Nick!” Celestine yelled loudly, wondering where he was. Celestine heard a low groan. “Bloody hell.” She ran in the direction of the groan and found Nick on the ground lying beside her car. She dropped to her knees, her heart pounding frantically. There was just enough light to see the blood in his hair and he was lying awfully still.
“Oh, Nick, please speak to me,” Celestine urged frantically as she cradled him in his arms. She rained frantic kisses on his face and lips as if they would somehow restore him to her. She could not possibly lose him now. Not when she was at the point of no return with her feelings for him. Celestine kissed his lips softly, feeling a slight return response from him.
“Did you just kiss me?” Nick asked, his voice groggy as he tried to focus on her.
Celestine ignored the question.
“What the hell happened?”
“I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.”
“I didn’t see any truck but I did see someone.” Celestine felt the relief surge through her on hearing his voice.
“So what about that kiss? It seemed awfully desperate to me.” Nick tried to sit up but sank back wearily into Celestine’s arms.
“You’re delirious,” Celestine responded softly as if it was highly unlikely she would have kissed him. She looked again at the blood in his hair. The wound was gently seeping bright red blood. Celestine pulled a clean handkerchief from her pocket and pressed it gently to the wound. She had to get help.
“And you’d take advantage of that fact to kiss me?”
It was the first time she had made the first move and they both knew it.
“You could have waited until I was fully awake.”
“Then you would have taken advantage of me.”
“But you like it when I do, baby.”
Yeah, she did. And what had just happened to Nick made her very aware of what else she liked about the man.
“I was concerned about you. I was checking to see if you were alive.”
“By kissing me?”
“Haven’t you heard of the kiss of life?” Celestine remembered the cell phone Nick always carried in his hip pocket. She reached into the warmth of his pocket, feeling him squirm as she pushed her hand in to get the phone. She felt his cock instantly tighten at her touch. Unbelievable. The man had been injured but he was ready for sex.
“I like how you show concern… While your hand is there…”
Celestine squeezed his cock gently then retreated with the phone in her hand.
“Dream on. You’re in no condition to be having sex with me, moonlight man,” Celestine told him with a chuckle as she managed to pull the phone out. “I’m calling an ambulance.”
———
“Oh good God…” Celestine groaned in discomfort as all her muscles protested as she tried to sit up straight in the chair sh
e had been sprawled awkwardly in. When had she fallen asleep? All she could remember was Nick had been attacked, that they were now at the Royal Brisbane Hospital and he had stayed overnight for observation. Okay then, so why was she still there? That was the tricky part. Realistically, Celestine told herself she had no way to get home as she had not thought to bring her purse with her when they left in the ambulance. Added to that, she felt responsible for what happened to him. If he had not been protecting her, he would not have been attacked. Yes, that was it. Celestine stayed at his bedside because she needed to make sure Nick was okay. That sounded logical to her. If she kept to that line of reasoning she would be fine. She didn’t want him thinking there was more to her staying than there was.
Celestine looked over at the man in question. Nick Swan lay asleep on the crisp white sheets of the hospital bed and looked decidedly calm and relaxed. Celestine was glad that he had been able to have a private room. Ah, the expensive miracle of private health insurance. She stood up and walked over to him. She ran a soft finger along his stubble-covered jaw and wondered if she would ever have the guts to admit she loved him. Celestine looked at the five stitches that had closed the wound on his head. Who the hell had done this and why? If they just told her what they wanted she would bloody give it to them.
“Bastards,” she hissed softly under her breath.
“Who’s a bastard?” Nick asked as his eyes opened and locked on hers. “So you stayed? Why?”
The look on Nick’s face indicated to Celestine that he knew the answer, he just wanted her to confirm it. Too bad for him that she was perverse.
“I had no way to get home.”
“My wallet was in my pocket, you could have used that money.”
Damn, logic. Who needed it?
“Maybe you stayed because you love me.” Nick’s hands sought hers. “Climb on board.” He tossed the sheet off his body. He was clothed only in a hospital gown.
“What?”
Nick surely wasn’t suggesting that they have sex now…in a hospital? Yet, strangely, the idea of hard, fast sex in a public place had Celestine all wet and aching. Would there ever be a time she did not want Nick? “We can’t.”
“Why not?”
“This is a hospital…”
“So?” Whatever point Celestine was trying to make Nick wasn’t going to buy it.
“You’re been injured, for God’s sake.” It would be irresponsible agreeing to have sex with a sick man. Good but irresponsible.
“Baby, my cock is just fine and it’s aching for you.”
When Nick said things like that Celestine found it hard to think about doing the right thing. But what exactly was the right thing in this case? Not have sex with Nick and make him be a good patient and rest? Or did she have sex with him to improve his morale while being banged up in hospital? Everyone needed their morale boosted. She really owed him that much. When she looked at in that light it seemed perfectly reasonable to honor his request.
“What about your head?”
“That’s not the head I’m thinking with at the moment. Pull the curtain around and take off those clothes. I want you naked now.”
If it was anyone else, Celestine would have said it was the drugs talking. But this was Nick Swan. And he liked sex at any time or place. She looked down at his cock. It was pushing up through the cotton of the gown. Could she?
“Come on, you want me as much as I want you. Now strip.”
Celestine pulled the curtain around and quickly tore off her clothes until she stood before him naked. At the insistence of his hands, Celestine scrambled awkwardly onto the bed and sat astride him.
“This is so wrong,” she said as she flung up the cotton gown and grabbed his stiff cock in both hands.
Nick grabbed Celestine’s hips and urged her onto him.
“If it’s so wrong why have you got your hands on my cock?” His fingers slid into the wet core of her body.
“Because I am going to suck it inside me, so please move your fingers out now.” Celestine impaled herself onto his straining shaft and leaned forward to allow him to hungrily suck her breasts.
“What are you going to do if a nurse arrives now and sees you sliding up and down on my cock with your breast in my mouth?”
“Continue riding you until you come, moonlight man.” Celestine ground up and down on Nick’s cock, enjoying the hot feeling of him deep inside her. She quickened her pace and her head fell back as the spasms of pleasure tore through her body. As Nick shot up inside her, she bit back the scream that came to her lips. Instead she leaned forward and kissed Nick hard.
“Bloody hell, I’m cured.” Nick caught Celestine as she collapsed against his chest, his cock still buried deep within her. They lay quietly wrapped up in their thoughts.
“Tell me, baby, other than you and me, who else knows you were staying at my house?”
Celestine looked into his eyes and thought about it.
“Well, only Julia Bailey knew where I was as I gave her this address to return the money she owed me.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought. Would Julia be mixed up with whatever these people are chasing you for?”
Celestine knew only too well the scruples of her cow of an ex-roommate. Greed was her god. Anything she had to do to get her money, Julia would do.
“Julia would sell her grandmother if the price was partway decent.” Could Julia Bailey be involved? What were these people after and how long had she had it? Had it been when Julia was her roommate? The timing did not seem to fit as it all started a week or so ago. “All this happened after Julia ran off with my stuff.”
“What if Julia somehow found out what these people were after and what if she agreed to help them?”
Julia was greedy and grasping so it was not beyond reasonable doubt that she was somehow involved but how?
“Okay, so Julia, the ratfink, finds out that someone is after me for something. She makes a deal with them and gives them your address.” Celestine ran the possibilities through her mind as she said the words. “They then come to your house to get whatever it is I am supposed to have that they want and you get clobbered.”
“Which leads me to believe, Nancy Drew, that whatever they want is portable and you have it with you.”
“I only have my clothes and the car from hell.” Neither was valuable or fashionable enough to make anyone want to pursue her for them.
“I think it’s the car.” To Nick, it was the only thing that made sense.
Nick had mentioned the car before. It still seemed like a crazy conclusion to her.
“Yes, I keep forgetting it is a priceless object.” Celestine placed her hand over Nick’s brow. “Are you feverish and hallucinating?”
Nick put his hands on her ass to keep her firmly on his cock. The beast was stirring again.
“Think about it, baby, it all comes back to your car.” Nick’s lips nuzzled at Celestine’s neck. “It’s something in the car. Maybe something is hidden inside.”
Wow, that sounded dramatic to Celestine. Other than gum wrappers and the environmentally friendly shopping bags she kept forgetting to use when she went shopping she could not think what someone would want out of her car.
“Like what?” Celestine eyes opened wide as she felt Nick’s cock stiffen inside her. The man was insatiable. But then so was she it appeared as she still had his cock inside her when she could have lifted off a while ago.
Nick’s hands caressed the mounds of her breasts.
“I don’t know what could be in the car but I suggest we pull that car of yours apart. But first…ride me hard, baby.”
Chapter Eight
Celestine walked around her car, opening all four doors wide. One door hung on an awkward angle but Celestine did not worry about that. The whole car was awkward, what was one flaw among so many? She had already checked out the boot. Other than a tire that need inflating and container of oil nothing appeared to be exciting enough to make someone want to steal it.
> “So what should we be looking for?” She turned to look at Nick. He had insisted that they search the car as soon as they returned from the hospital.
“We won’t know until we find it.”
“Yes, I love cryptic comments—not.”
“Are you still upset at the nurse coming in and catching us?” Nick smiled at Celestine’s embarrassment at being caught just as she came on top of him. Though it hadn’t stopped her sucking every last drop from him.
“Gee, I can’t think why, Nick. I was completely naked on top of a patient who was supposed to be resting.”
“I always feel restful after sex with you.”
“That excuse did not work with the nurse. Though she did seem impressed with the size of your cock.” The woman had looked at it a little too long for Celestine’s liking.
Nick grinned, recognizing jealousy when he saw it.
“Most women are. But don’t worry, baby, it’s all yours.”
“Of course it damn well is…” Celestine muttered softly under her breath. She wasn’t about to share that with anyone.
“What was that?” Nick had heard her and was both amused and pleased at her possessiveness.
“Nothing of importance.” Celestine crawled into the backseat and reached in and under the back of one of the front seats. Nothing but an umbrella and a paperclip. She stretched over, lying on her stomach, to search under the other front seat.
Nick stood and watched as Celestine wriggled her body, totally unaware how enticing her rounded, plump ass looked. He wanted to be all hot and tight between those cheeks. Nick moved into the backseat to join her, pinning her down beneath him.
Celestine felt his cock prodding hard into the cleft of her sweatpants-covered butt.
“You’re kidding me? Now?”
Nick pulled down her sweatpants and was pleased to see no panties standing in the way of what he wanted. He flung them out the door.
