The Art of Love [Hedon Falls 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Michelle Graham

  “Sweetheart, you can have whatever you want,” he said huskily. He hugged her more tightly. “Can I tell you what I want?” She nodded. “I want to see you again,” he said.

  “I’d like that, too,” Melanie said. She turned her head so she could kiss him. “This afternoon was wonderful.”

  He kissed her several more times before saying, “I agree. Can we go to dinner tonight?”

  Melanie hesitated for a split second. She had no other plans, so she agreed. David got directions to her house and told her he’d pick her up at seven. Reluctantly, Melanie grabbed her purse and coat and left.

  Before going home, she went to the gallery to check on the progress. Seeing the backhoe in front of it with half the earth dug up gave her a headache. She collected her hard hat and went into the building to find Andy. She noted a large section where the floor was open, exposing dirt and pipes below. She found the contractor directing the crew laying the old wood floor back onto the new sub-floor they’d constructed. At least by reusing some of the old materials and leaving the original stone walls exposed, she had eliminated some of the building expenses. It would be gorgeous when it was finished. She just hoped she didn’t run out of money before then.

  “How is the work on the pipes going?” Melanie asked him.

  “So far, so good,” Andy said.

  “What’s it doing for the timeline?” she asked.

  “It’ll add a couple days,” Andy told her. “But we allowed for that in the first place. And not having the apartment to worry about helps.”

  “Okay,” Melanie said. “I just wanted to check the progress. Do you need anything else from me right now?”

  “Nope.”

  “All right, keep me posted. Bye.”

  When she reached her car, she pulled out her phone to text Serena before she drove out.

  I did it again, she sent.

  She began driving home, grinning like a fool. She heard her phone beep a moment later. When she stopped for a red light she checked it.

  WTF!!!!! Serena had texted back.

  Melanie smiled and continued the drive home to find Serena standing at her door.

  “Okay spill it,” Serena said as soon as Melanie approached the door.

  Melanie just smiled again and made her wait while she unlocked the door, went inside, and hung up her coat. “Coffee?” she asked sweetly.

  “Would you just tell me already?” Serena burst out impatiently.

  Melanie sat on the couch and Serena sat beside her. “So I went to see the sculptor today,” Melanie said.

  “And?” Serena prompted.

  “He was big and black and beautiful,” Melanie said dreamily.

  “And?”

  “And after some shameless flirting I ended up fucking him on the floor.”

  “But you don’t seem upset about that,” Serena noted with a grin.

  Melanie grinned back. “This time it didn’t feel quite so overwhelming. I was more prepared for it.”

  “Did you actually bring condoms?”

  “No. That’s not what I meant. I was mentally prepared. He had the condom. But I did remember to ask.”

  “That’s a relief, too, I bet,” Serena said. “I know it’s easy to forget about the basics when you’re caught up in the horniness of the moment. That’s how I got pregnant with the twins. The first set, I mean. Liam and I were at the hospital after Lance got shot, both of us very emotional, and we just needed to be with each other. Considering I’d already gotten accidentally pregnant before, I couldn’t believe I’d forgotten.”

  “You had sex at the hospital?” Melanie asked in disbelief.

  “In the ICU waiting room,” Serena replied. “Like I said, we got caught up in the moment. But I want to know about you and David. Was it good?”

  Melanie knew she was grinning like a fool but couldn’t help herself. “Very good!”

  They both dissolved into giggles. When they calmed down, Serena said, “Are you going to see this one again?”

  “We’re going for dinner tonight. And I think I’ll skip the walk tomorrow if that’s okay.”

  “Planning on having an overnight guest?” Serena asked. “Or planning to not be capable of walking?”

  “Both,” Melanie said and grinned again.

  “Have you decided not to see Justin again then?”

  “Well…I think I might, actually. I haven’t said I’d be exclusive with either him or David. And I’d like to keep my options open.”

  “Do what you have to do,” Serena said. “Or I guess, do who you have to do.”

  Chapter 5

  David looked at his watch. Seven o’clock exactly. He picked up the single rose in a bud vase and went to the door of the small house. When Melanie opened it, all he could do was stare. She was gorgeous. She wore a little black dress that was short and low-cut, his favorite characteristics in women’s clothing. Her blonde hair was piled up on her head with several tendrils hanging loose, and her blue eyes twinkled. He held out the vase to her.

  “Thank you!” Melanie said. “Come on in while I put this in my room.”

  David followed her in as she took the rose to her bedroom and set it on her dresser. He stood at the door and surveyed the room. A simple queen-size bed stood against the far wall, and the décor was feminine without being too frilly. Artwork filled every wall. “I like your room,” he said with a wink.

  “And if you’re good, maybe you’ll get to spend some time in it later,” Melanie said.

  He pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips firmly to hers, his tongue delving into her mouth and leaving her slightly breathless. “And what if I’m bad?” he whispered against her ear, dipping his tongue into the outer curve. When he sucked gently on her earlobe she gasped.

  “If you’re bad,” she said throatily, “you’ll definitely get to spend time in here. But if you’re too bad, we’ll never make it to dinner and I think we’ll both need the energy.”

  He laughed against her throat and then kissed her again. He took her hand and led her out to the car. As they drove down the long drive to the road, David asked, “Who lives in the big house over there?”

  “My friend Serena and her husbands and kids. They own the aquarium store in town,” she said.

  “Did you say husbands plural? Isn’t that illegal?”

  “She isn’t legally married to both of them. But they had a commitment ceremony, and they live that way. They seem quite happy.”

  One woman with two men. David had definitely seen videos of that nature, and of course his friends always liked to talk about how much fun a threesome would be, but as a permanent relationship? He glanced at Melanie. The thought of her fucking another man brought a flash of jealous anger through him.

  “Huh. I guess if it works for them, it’s okay. I don’t know if I could share,” he said. Thankfully he wouldn’t have to worry about it. Melanie nodded and looked out the window without saying anything.

  David took her to a restaurant called Oracle. It was upscale without being snooty, and he liked the atmosphere immediately. They sat in a booth near the back, and when Melanie sat down, David slid in beside her. She giggled when the hostess rolled her eyes at them. Her giggles turned to soft sighs when David bent to kiss her neck and his hand slid to her thigh. He pushed the hem of her skirt higher.

  “That’s nice,” he said when his hand encountered the top of her stockings where they attached to a garter belt.

  She shivered when he ran his finger under the top of the stocking. “I thought you’d like it,” she said, gasping when his hand moved further between her legs, gently stroking the sensitive skin of her inner thighs that lay exposed. He liked that he could arouse her so quickly. He planned to move his hand up a little higher, longing to touch her sweet pussy again, when the waiter approached the table. One glance at Stephanie’s closed eyes and parted lips suggested that she was too distracted to think about the food, so David ordered some wine and identical meals of salad, roasted chicken, and
vegetables.

  After the waiter walked away, David kissed her and slid his hand the rest of the way up her thigh, finally touching her swollen lips through the wet satin panties. She moaned into his mouth as he rubbed her firmly. He lifted the elastic band at her thigh and slipped his finger into her wet slit. He rubbed it up and down over her clit again and again. Melanie’s body jerked and shuddered. He kept his mouth on hers as he stroked faster and faster. Finally, he felt the muscles of her cunt squeeze his fingers rhythmically as she came, and he swallowed the sound of her cries. Her whole body was shaking badly as he withdrew his hand and pulled his lips away from hers. Melanie looked up into his dark-brown eyes as he lifted his fingers to his mouth and licked her juices off.

  “You taste fantastic,” he said and kissed her again. She eagerly sucked her pussy juice off his tongue and he groaned. The waiter approached them with their drinks, and as David reached for his glass, she reached into his lap and began stroking his thigh. He trembled slightly at her touch, his already-hard cock straining desperately at the fabric of his pants. She moved her hand higher until she felt the hard bulge at his crotch and rubbed up and down the length of him through the cloth. He groaned softly, enjoying the feel of her hands against him.

  Melanie reached for his zipper and undid it. He shifted, turning toward her a bit so he was hidden from view and helped her pull his throbbing cock out of his pants. She began rubbing and stroking, sliding her hand slowly up and down the shaft. David’s breathing was becoming more rapid as she looked into his eyes and continued jerking his cock. Her hand moved swiftly up and down, squeezing and stroking. Her touch had him close to orgasm within minutes.

  “God, Melanie, I’m almost there!” he gasped as she pulled firmly on his dick.

  Melanie glanced quickly around, then she bent down and pulled him into her mouth as deeply as she could. She sucked hard and he couldn’t contain it anymore. His cock exploded in her mouth, shooting thick gobs of hot cum down her throat. She swallowed eagerly, not spilling a drop. He tried to keep quiet but couldn’t suppress a small moan. When she had taken all of his cum, she lifted her head and licked her lips. He grabbed her head and pulled her close for a kiss, this time tasting himself on her and enjoying it.

  “You are a very bad girl,” he whispered.

  “But being bad is so good,” she whispered back.

  “Very good,” he said. They kissed again but were interrupted by the arrival of their food. David discreetly put his cock away, and they managed to make it through the meal without ripping each other’s clothes off. After David paid the bill, they walked out to the car. The ride back to Melanie’s seemed to take forever. He was anticipating the rest of the night. He wanted nothing more than to drag her into that bedroom and fuck her senseless. When they finally arrived, he parked the car, grabbed the small pack of condoms he had bought earlier, and walked her to the door. She unlocked it and looked up at him.

  “Are you going to come inside?”

  “If you want me to,” he replied.

  “I want you,” she said.

  He kissed her again and she led him in. She hung their coats and set her purse in the closet. Then she took his hand and pulled him toward the bedroom. He put his arms around her and bent his head to her neck. He nibbled the sensitive skin in the hollow of her throat, loving the shiver he felt run through her body. She was so responsive, and he planned to find her most sensitive spots tonight. As he trailed kisses along her neck and up to her ears, he eased down the zipper to her dress. He straightened up and slid the straps off her shoulders and down her arms, revealing her beautiful, full breasts.

  “No bra?” he asked with a smile.

  She smiled back. “I didn’t think I needed it.”

  He looked into her eyes as he placed his hands on her breasts and her breath caught. Her eyes were darkening and the lids were looking a little heavy as he flicked his thumbs across her nipples. He squeezed and kneaded her tits, loving the way they filled his hands. When her nipples were both standing out, he lowered his mouth to one breast while he continued caressing and squeezing the other. He swirled his tongue over the stiff bud and sucked gently at it as she moaned. He switched, taking the other nipple between his lips and licking it. Her tits were amazing. As he worked them with his mouth, he slid the dress down over her hips until it fell to the floor. He stood up again and looked at her. The garter belt was black lace, the panties barely covering anything.

  “Can we get the panties off but leave the garter on?” he asked. “You look so fucking hot!”

  She blushed and hooked her thumbs under the waistband of the panties. After a bit of maneuvering, she managed to slide them down her legs while leaving the garters on. He wasn’t quite sure how she managed it, but he didn’t care. He stared at her pussy, the light blonde hair barely visible against her skin. Remembering the taste of her juices on his fingers, he wanted to take it directly from the source. He wanted to bury his tongue between her lips and suck her clit until she came all over his face.

  “Sit on the edge of the bed,” he said hoarsely. As she moved back, he quickly stripped out of his own clothes. He moved in front of her and got down on his knees. He took her legs by the ankles and lifted them to the edge of the bed so her legs were spread wide in front of him. She leaned back on her hands for balance and he looked into her eyes as he lowered his mouth to her. He had forgotten all about exploring her erogenous zones. He’d get to it later. At that moment, all he wanted was to taste her.

  She gasped when his tongue slid between her swollen, wet lips and touched her hard little clit. She was slightly musky and almost a bit salty on his tongue, and he began to lap at her slit. He drove his tongue into her pussy and then licked her clit, repeating the process over and over as she gasped above him.

  “Suck my clit!” she cried out, and he happily complied. He pulled the sensitive bud between his lips and sucked gently on it. He slid two fingers into her cunt and hooked them upwards where he could feel that soft, spongy area. He thrust his fingers into her, making sure to stroke her G-spot with the pads of his fingers while his lips pulled on her clit.

  “Fuck!” she screamed. “Fuck! I’m going to come! I’m going to come on your tongue!”

  David increased the pace of his thrusts as he held her clit between his lips and flicked his tongue across the tip of it. That brought her over the edge at last, and he felt the spasms in her pussy clenching at his fingers and her clit pulsing between his lips. She screamed out his name again and again as the orgasm ripped through her body. When the spasms had subsided and her cries had quieted, he withdrew his fingers and lifted his head. She sat up, took his face between her hands and pulled his lips to hers, licking and sucking her juices off of him. He thrust his tongue into her mouth, exploring within, stroking her, and she responded eagerly.

  “I want to fuck you,” he said hoarsely.

  “Please,” she gasped. “Please put your cock inside me!”

  He grabbed his pants and removed a condom from the pack. He quickly opened it and sheathed his erection. Then he stood, braced his legs against the edge of the bed, and slid his cock into her hot, tight cunt. She felt so good on him, and he could have stayed there forever. But he needed to move as well and he began to slide back and forth, in and out of her. He stared down, watching his dark cock plunging into her creamy skin and his arousal grew.

  “I love watching my cock in your pussy,” he said to her.

  “Me, too,” she said. “Fuck me harder, please!”

  He pulled out and pushed her further back on the bed so he could lie on top of her. The feel of her body under his was incredible. Her breasts were crushed against his chest, her legs open wide, willing him to enter her again. He kissed her and slid himself into her again. He thrust harder and faster, her cries urging him on. He thrust his tongue into her mouth, matching the thrusts of his cock. As he felt his climax building, he wanted to make sure she came again, too. He lifted up slightly so he could reach between them. His t
humb found her clit and he began rubbing circles around it while he fucked her. She moaned and whimpered as he stimulated her and his efforts were rewarded when she screamed his name again and clamped her pussy around his cock, over and over. It undid him, and he thrust once more as deeply as he could and held still while his own orgasm gripped him, forcing the cum out of his balls and into the condom.

  When it was finished, he shuddered and pulled out of her. He collapsed beside her on the bed and pulled her into his arms. When she looked up at him and kissed him again, he thought he may just be in heaven.

  Chapter 6

  When Melanie woke in the morning, she heard David’s gentle snores beside her. She looked at his face on her pillow, the way his long lashes fanned out against his smooth cheek, the gentle flare of his nose, the full, sensuous lips. A slow burn spread through her as she remembered those lips kissing every inch of her. She leaned forward and kissed him. His eyelids fluttered open.

  “Good morning,” she said.

  He smiled and pulled her in for another kiss. “Good morning,” he said against her lips.

  They lay kissing for a few more minutes and then put their heads down on the pillow and looked at each other.

  “I liked waking up with you today,” she said softly. It had been so long since she’d spent the night with anyone, she had forgotten how nice it was.

  “I liked being here,” he said as he stroked her cheek. “What are you up to today?”

  “I have to go and see another artist,” she said.

  “Who is it?”

  “Garrett Anderson,” she said. “He has some interesting paintings.”

  “I know Garrett. He’s very talented. I’ve always wondered about the BDSM stuff, though,” David said.

  “Why?”

  “I’ve never tried it, have you?” Melanie shook her head, and he continued. “I just wonder how good some of it could actually feel. I don’t think of pain and pleasure going together.”

  “I guess it works for some people. I thought it would be provocative stuff to include in the exhibition.”
