Davis, Liz - Slivers of Moonlight (Siren Publishing Classic)

by Liz Davis

  “I have friends in law enforcement, Dylan. People who would gladly investigate your background for me. And knowing what kind of a shady character you are, I don’t doubt there are things in your past you’d much rather hide. And if you think this is an empty threat, then you know what? Just try me. You will not interfere with our relationship and will not cause her any more pain. You will, however, leave us the fuck alone. Now, do I make myself clear?”

  Dylan grunted in pain as his arm was bent into a sharper angle.

  “I asked you a question. Now answer me!”

  “Yes! Okay, okay, I’ll leave you alone!” Dylan cried out in desperation, squeezing his eyes shut.

  Evan released his hold on him and moved toward the door. As soon as he reached it, he took one last look at Dylan and offered a final warning.

  “Remember what I said, Dylan. Don’t forget.” Then he was on his way, slamming the door with a reverberating finality.

  When Maya heard the sound of Evan’s key in the lock, she hurried into the living room and met him at the door, falling into his arms as soon as he walked across the threshold.

  “Hey there, beautiful.” Dropping the bags of groceries to the floor, he gave her a wide grin and bent down to kiss her, encircling his arms around her waist.

  Their mouths met in a hungry kiss, as if they’d been separated for weeks, rather than for just a couple of hours.

  After parting lips, they nuzzled noses and gazed into each other’s eyes.

  “So where did you go? All you left me to wake up with was a note.”

  “Sorry about that, sweetie, but I had to take care of something important.”

  “Okay, so what was this errand you went on? Must have been pretty serious if it kept you out after dark.”

  Glancing at the clock, he saw it was already after seven. “I know I said I’d be home half past six, but the drive took longer than I thought.” He took his jacket off and tossed it onto the couch.

  “So are you going to tell me what you were doing, or do I have to guess?” She leaned down to pick up one of the grocery bags, but Evan grabbed hold of it before she could, then carried all four of the bags into the kitchen.

  “I drove out to see that wonderful ex-boyfriend of yours. But funnily enough, he didn’t seem too excited to see me.” Glancing at Maya, he gave her a little wink.

  “What’d you go see him for?” Once they reached the kitchen, Maya lifted herself onto the table and watched him put the groceries away.

  Grabbing a carton of milk from the bag, Evan opened the fridge to put it away. “To tie up loose ends. I needed to let him to know that coming around you wasn’t an option anymore, and I also made sure he returned the money that he stole from you.”

  He reached into his jeans pocket to retrieve the bills, and then placed the currency in Maya’s hand.

  “You drove all the way out there just to get my money back?”

  “Of course. The last thing I wanted was for you to go without what was rightfully yours.”

  Maya was stunned by the effort Evan had gone through to return her money, and she realized it was the sweetest thing any guy had ever done for her. In fact, it was the sweetest thing just about anyone had done, guy or girl.

  Grabbing his hand, Maya said, “Thank you, honey. You didn’t have to go all the way out there, but I really appreciate that you did. It’s sweet of you to care so much.”

  “Baby, you don’t have to thank me. You’re my woman, and if somebody does you wrong, then I’m going to make sure that things are set straight.”

  Lifting her hands to his face, Maya placed her palms against his cheeks, pulling him down so that she could kiss him. As his soft lips touched hers, she softly whispered, “Thank you, again.” Then she gave him a deep kiss.

  Their lips sealed in a passionate kiss until they were forced to part by the need for oxygen. Reaching down to adjust his pants, Evan said, “You’re getting me hard, girl.”

  “Yeah, that’s the point.” Maya flashed her dimples then lowered her eyes to the crotch of his pants.

  A large bulge beneath the denim fabric displayed his obvious excitement. She cupped her palm around the tent in his pants, then began to softly massage it. A throaty moan fled his lips, and he leaned in to kiss her on the neck. She felt his hands slide across her breasts, and then he began to unbutton the flannel shirt she had on. It was one of his articles of clothing, and he found it incredibly cute how oversized it looked on her smaller body. When he got to the fourth button, her cleavage began to show, and this excited him to the point of no longer having any patience. He ripped the blouse open, then cupped his hands firmly around both of her breasts, stroking his thumbs back and forth against her hard nipples.

  Releasing a moan of pleasure, Maya placed her hands against the back of his head, sliding the elastic band off his hair so that his locks were freed. His silky strands fell around his face, providing a pleasant tickling sensation against her bare skin. Snaking his tongue across her pebble-hard nipples, Evan teased her nubs, giving her soft, tender nibbles.

  She offered a gasp of pleasure as his tongue slid out, sending her into a lust-filled frenzy as the tip of his appendage lashed back and forth against her peaks. With her sitting on the table and him standing up, it provided him with just the right angle to press his cock against her heated center. As his erection made contact with the space between her legs, she released a little moan, bucking her hips forward to increase the friction.

  Evan released his mouth from her nipple and cradled her face in his hands, placing a soft kiss on one side of her neck and then on the other. Then she felt his fingertips brush along the inner part of her thighs, traveling further up until they reached the moistness between her legs. The first touch of his fingers sent an electric spark through her clit, and she rocked her hips forward to signal that she was eager for the touch of his skin against her own. His finger traveled up and down the slit of her pussy, gently caressing the heated warmth that lay beneath the dampening fabric.

  His fingers moved softly at first and then began to press more urgently, sliding between the folds that lay beneath her panties. Maya felt the elastic band move away from her skin, followed by the feel of her underwear sliding down her legs. Once they were off, Evan tossed them to the floor and then pushed her thighs apart. As his eyes landed on her glistening sex, he unconsciously licked his lips then pulled a chair up to the table so that he could take a seat right in front of her.

  With her pussy at eye level, Evan was offered a nice view of her most intimate part. Placing a finger against her delicate skin, he carefully parted her tender folds, then slid his finger up and down along the succulent pink flesh that lay hidden within. He pressed the tip of his finger against her entrance, causing Maya to arch her back and moan, eagerly awaiting his next move.

  His index finger was placed against her opening, and his thumb came to rest against her clit. He stroked her stiff bud, moving his digit against it in a slow back and forth motion, and then he eventually worked up to a faster pace. The sound of her moans filled the room as he continued to manipulate her, and as his index and middle finger pushed between her walls, Maya threw her head back and gave a husky sound of pleasure. His digits pumped back and forth a few times, and then he removed them, causing her to crave him more desperately than before.

  The next thing she felt was his warm breath against her skin, ghosting against her fleshy center as he leaned in closer to her heat. Evan’s lips brushed against her pussy, giving her light, gentle kisses along the length of her slit. Then she felt the tip of his tongue slide out, pressing against the edge of her delicate folds. As his tongue stretched out to taste her, Maya’s hips jolted, her body electrified by the feel of his wet appendage. The first few licks he gave her were slow and tentative, but gradually he began applying more pressure, flicking his tongue back and forth as she blissfully squirmed beneath him.

  It didn’t take long for him to work her into a frenzy of pleas
ure, and as his tongue whipped back and forth, she cried and whimpered in response. His tongue plunged into her heated core, causing her to squirm beneath his tongue.

  As his tongue worked magic on her, she cried out his name, grabbing a handful of his hair as he lapped up her juices. The sound of his groans only furthered her excitement, and every lash of his wet appendage sent a jolt of electricity through her core. Her hips were soon bucking so uncontrollably that Evan had to hold her down with his hands. As his tongue continued to ravish her, Maya lost all control of her body and rode the waves of her climax.

  A throaty cry escaped her lips, and she tightly gripped his shoulders with her fingers, flooding his mouth with the taste of her cum. Grinding helplessly against his lips, she whimpered, thrusting her hips back and forth as he continued to lick and suck the sensitive piece of flesh. Evan greedily lapped every bit of nectar that trickled from her pussy, and Maya found herself holding on to him for dear life, nearly passing out from the intense pleasure of the orgasm.

  Pulling his mouth from between her legs, Evan stood up from the chair and wiped his lips off with the back of his hand.

  “Damn, you taste delicious. I’d eat you out all night long, if you let me.” His voice was thick with lust.

  “Mmm, I’d love that.” Tilting her chin upward, she met his gaze with a heated look of desire.

  As he pressed his lips to her own, Maya caught the strong scent of her excitement. His tongue tangled with hers to share the taste of her womanly juices, and as his groin pressed up between her legs, she moaned into his mouth. As their lips parted, Evan took his shirt off, and then went to work on his pants, quickly undoing the button and zipper. After sliding them down his hips and kicking them off his ankles, he removed his boxers. Placing one hand against her waist and the other around his length, he languidly slid the head of his cock up and down between her moist pussy lips. Soon the tip of his shaft was nice and wet, and as he guided himself in, Maya uttered a low groan.

  Pushing his hips forward, Evan slid the swollen crown of his length inside of her, keeping his eyes locked into hers as he did it. As he pushed even deeper, she clenched her walls around him, and heard him release a blissful grunt in response. Then he began pumping into her, firmly holding on to her waist as he pushed in and out of her tight, wet entrance. As his hips sped up, her breaths became shallow, and her arms looped around his neck for support.

  Placing his palms against her thighs, Evan angled her legs back farther, allowing him to work his length inside of her in an even deeper position. As his penis sunk further in, she gave a cry of pleasure, followed by a sound that could only be described as pure bliss.

  Evan thrust urgently between her walls, plunging quicker and harder with each stroke that he made. It didn’t take long for their hips to find a perfect rhythm, and their bodies swayed back and forth as the wooden table creaked and groaned, moving along with the rhythm of their passionate coupling.

  His strokes were long and deep, withdrawing gasps and cries of ecstasy from her. He used short, urgent thrusts, continuously impaling her with his hard, thick length.

  The force of his thrusts caused the kitchen table to bang against the wall, resulting in a loud knocking sound that filled the air with every jerk of his hips.

  “So wet and tight.” His voice came out breathy, and his eyes were glazed with pleasure.

  All she could do was whimper in response, completely surrendering her body to his voracious desire.

  He leaned his head down to place kisses against her chest, then gently sunk his teeth into the tender flesh of her nipples. The mixture of pleasure and pain felt intensely delicious, and Maya found that it was rapidly increasing her arousal.

  Evan’s mouth pressed against her right breast, and his tongue slid out to swirl around her nipple. His mouth made wet noises as he eagerly suckled the swollen peak, and the palm of his hand slid along the silky flesh of her inner thigh, gently stroking her with the tips of his fingers.

  She saw his gaze drift downward to watch the in and out movement of his cock, and noticed his eyebrows knit together in what she guessed was intense arousal. His breaths had become choppy, and every so often he would utter a little moan. The slick sounds of their passionate union filled the air, and the air was thick with the scent of their arousal.

  He pumped harder and faster, causing her to dig her nails into the flesh of his sweaty back. As his lips pressed against her neck, Evan began to suck on the tender flesh. The abundance of sensations became too much for her to handle, and it didn’t take long before her body began to tremble.

  Lifting his mouth from her neck, Evan brought his lips up to her face, sensuously brushing them against her ear.

  “Come for me, Maya.” His tongue then slipped out to caress her fleshy lobe, and his lips wrapped around it to gently suck on the sensitive area.

  Finding herself unable to avoid it any longer, Maya gave in to her impending orgasm. Her impassioned cries filled the air as she came, and she tightly gripped his buttocks as pleasure ripped through her body. She felt his cock spasm a few times, and then with a sharp jerk of his hips, he pumped his seed deep inside her, calling out her name.

  The sound of his strangled groan filled the air, and he gave a few more quick, short thrusts until there was nothing left to give. Then he uttered a deep, satisfied moan.

  As he placed his face in the crook of her neck, Maya felt his breath warm her skin, and her breasts were dampened with sweat as he placed his chest flush against her own. They spent a few moments in silence, enjoying the aftermath of their passionate coupling, and then Evan lifted his head and placed a salty kiss on her lips. Their tongues met in a sweet, intimate caress that caused each of them to release a moan of gratification. Then their mouths parted, and their eyes met in an amorous gaze.

  “You’re amazing,” she breathily whispered.

  “And you’re beautiful.” Lacing his fingers into her hair, he allowed the strands to slip through his fingers.

  They spent a few moments just staring into each other’s eyes, and then his voice broke the silence.

  “What do you say we get into bed and cuddle up? It’s been a while since I last held you in my arms, and I’ve really missed it.”

  “Sounds like a good idea.”

  Wrapping her legs around his waist, she held on to his shoulders and allowed him to lift her off the table. Evan carried her down the hallway, and once they were in the bedroom, he gently placed her on the mattress. They both got beneath the thick comforter and positioned their bodies so that they could cuddle. Releasing a sigh of contentment, Maya reveled in the feel of Evan’s warm body flush against her own. Life couldn’t get any better than this, and all of the issues they’d faced as a couple had been well worth it to bring them to this point.

  Cradling her face in his hands, he gazed into her eyes with a look that was full of tenderness. “I love you, Maya.”

  “I love you, too.”

  As he leaned in to kiss her, she accepted his mouth, pressing her lips against his in a deep, passionate kiss. She could still taste herself on his lips, and was reminded of just how talented he was with his tongue. It didn’t take much to coax the fire inside both of them, and as Evan climbed on top of her, she found herself happily anticipating a second round of passionate lovemaking.

  As Evan’s penis poked against her thigh, Maya eagerly parted her legs, locking her eyes on his as he slipped inside of her. The room was soon filled with the sounds of their ecstasy, and the warmth and sweat from their bodies mingled to create a scent that was all their own.

  Chapter 19

  A grumbling stomach roused Maya from her sleep, forcing her out of the warm bed she was sharing with Evan. For a few moments, she just lay there, listening to the sound of her lover’s soft snores as her eyes adjusted to the darkness in the room. She couldn’t see much since the curtains were drawn, but she was able to recognize the shape of a telescope that was placed in front of the window. Maya made a mental note to che
ck it out a bit later, but right now, the only thing she really had on her mind was food.

  She gently lifted Evan’s arm from around her waist, then placed it to rest on the mattress. After slipping out of bed, she quietly made her way down the hallway, and once she was in the kitchen, she flipped on the light that was over the stove. She opened one of the cabinets to look inside and found a variety of snack foods, some boxes of cereal and a container of mixed nuts. As her eyes landed on a pack of vanilla pudding, she reached up to grab it and tore a cup off. She peeled the top off the pudding and licked it clean, then grabbed a spoon from the drawer.

  Walking into the living room, she saw a clean pile of laundry sitting on a chair, and she grabbed a T-shirt off it and slipped it over her naked body. Then she headed to the bookshelf and began thumbing through the titles. She noticed there were a large amount of books on astronomy, as well as a few titles about photography and a book about playing bass guitar. Deciding on an astronomy book, she pulled it off the shelf and headed for the bedroom. Her thoughts turned to the telescope in his room, and she decided she could look through the book tomorrow. But tonight, she was really interested in seeing what sort of a view he had from the bedroom window.

  As soon as she was back in the room, Maya walked over to the window and opened the curtains. Since Evan’s apartment was on the second floor, there weren’t any streetlights on their level, so she didn’t have to worry about any intruding light waking him up.

  Taking a seat on a stool that was placed in front of the telescope, Maya put her eye up to the lens and had a look. Since the apartment was located on a hill, Maya was afforded with a terrific view of the city below and was astounded by the beauty of the city at night. Twinkling lights dotted the landscape, shining against the darkness of the sky. Colors of yellow, red, and blue all merged together to create a striking display that reminded her of lights on a Christmas tree. It was an exceptionally clear night, allowing her to see many of the stars that shone brightly in the sky.
