“I’m yours to command.”

A sexy growl threaded through his voice, making her nipples
tingle. “Take off your shirt.” His fast, focused movements pushed his body
against hers, further arousing her senses and accentuating the ache rapidly
building between her thighs. His torso was corded with well-defined muscles,
compact and lean.

He didn’t touch her. Instead he silently waited for her next
move. She ran her hands across his chest then down his arms, enjoying every dip
and curve of his amazing body. As her hands explored, she pressed her lips to
his chest, absorbing the heat of his skin and the steady thumping of his heart.

She kissed her way to one of his nipples, wondering if he’d
enjoy the firm pull of her mouth as much as she enjoyed his. Closing her lips
around the tiny peak, she could barely form a circle. Rather than abandoning
the task, she used her teeth, nibbling and pulling until he pushed one hand
into her hair and released a throaty moan.

Excitement rushed through her body and she switched to the
other side, determined to hear the sound again. Responding to Kyle’s skill had
been easy. All she’d had to do was surrender and receive the most powerful
orgasms of her life. Giving him pleasure might require more concentration, but
each time he tensed, each gasp and groan sent desire cascading through her
body.

Her hands drifted downward as her mouth continued to play.
His hand remained in her hair, yet he didn’t tighten his grip or try to control
her. She wasn’t sure how long his mood would last, so she took full advantage
of his willingness to indulge her.

Slipping to her knees, she kissed her way farther down. Each
quiver and hiss fueled her determination to watch him lose control. She slowly
unzipped his pants, freeing his cock from its denim prison. His shaft was thick
and hard, the flared tip deeply flushed and weeping.

She caught a drop of clear fluid as it escaped and smoothed
it over his sensitive crest. Her thumb glided across his velvety flesh and his
fingers slowly tightened in her hair.

“This is hard enough.” His voice sounded gravelly. “Don’t
tease.”

“But I like teasing you.” She wrapped her fingers around the
base and slowly stroked up and down. “Isn’t that what you said the last time I
begged you to let me come?”

With their gazes still locked, she pumped him, swiping the
moist tip at the apex of each stroke. His other hand clenched and unclenched as
his cock grew harder within the circle of her fingers. He closed his eyes and
rested his head against the door. And she stopped.

He muttered a curse and opened his eyes.

“Finish undressing. I want you naked.” She stayed on her
knees as he frantically tugged off his boots, socks and jeans. Knowing her
touch had created his urgency empowered her to be even bolder. She pointed to
the bed as she stood and unfastened her bra. “Sit on the edge and spread your
legs.”

“You better be careful, sunshine. Payback’s a bitch.” Golden
flecks shimmered in the depths of his eyes, revealing the heat of his desire
and his cat’s restlessness.

“I’m not worried.” She smiled, high on feminine power. “Sit
on the bed and show me how much you want me.”

He sat and moved his legs apart then rested back on his
elbows and flexed his abdomen, making his cock jerk before it came to rest
against his flat belly. “I’m all yours, sweetheart. What are you going to do
with me?”

“I think I’ll just enjoy the view.” She stepped closer but
stopped well out of reach. “You have an amazing body.” She skimmed her hands up
her sides and cupped her breasts. “Makes me hot just looking at you.”

His gaze narrowed, but he didn’t move.

She rolled her nipples, enjoying the tension in his thighs
and the flush crawling across his skin as much as the pressure of her fingers.
Suddenly their link expanded and scalding need saturated her mind. She groaned,
pressing her thighs together.

“That’s not fair.” She gasped.

“You’re the one who wanted to play.” One of his tawny brows
arched, emphasizing the challenge in his tone. “You told me to show you how
much I want you.”

Determined to remain in control as long as possible, she
caught the sides of her panties and pulled them down as she spun in an
undulating circle. Her panties briefly caught around her upper thighs then fell
to her ankles and she kicked them aside.

“Very nice.” He licked his lips, gaze boldly moving over her
naked body. “The back view is just as appealing as the front.”

Twinges of pleasure raced from her nipples to her clit and
back, each sensation compounded by the emotions flowing across their link. She
approached him one step at a time, pausing in between to touch herself in
progressively bolder places. By the time she stood between his legs, her
fingers were buried between her thighs, rubbing with almost frantic urgency.

“Your scent is driving me crazy.” He inhaled deeply, his
hips bucking. “Let me touch you.”

She drew her fingers out and smiled into his eyes. “Is this
what you want?” She brought her fingers to his mouth and painted his lips with
her cream. He licked his lips, eyes half closed as he savored her taste.

“More.”

“Not yet.” She put her fingers in her mouth and shivered as
her taste spread across her tongue. This was what he wanted, what he craved
whenever they made love. Would she find his taste as evocative? She looked at
his straining cock and smiled. There was only one way to find out.

Kneeling between his spread thighs, she cupped his balls
with one hand and gripped his shaft with the other. His legs flexed and he
groaned. “If you do this, I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop.”

She ran her tongue around the head of his cock then caught
the bead of moisture perched on the very tip. The salty-sharp taste sank into
her tongue and stirred a primal hunger for more. “I don’t want you to stop, so
don’t hold back.”

Her lips formed a firm circle as she slowly sucked him into
her mouth. She cradled him with her tongue, absorbing his heat and the
contrasting textures. He was hot and soft, warm and moist, and she couldn’t get
enough of him.

He let her set the pace, remaining as passive as his
consuming desire allowed. His hand steadied the back of her head, but his hips
stayed nearly still as she slid her mouth up and down the length of his shaft.

She released his balls and stroked his legs, his hips, his
sides. She wanted to touch him everywhere, know every contour of his strong
body by heart. His chest heaved as his breathing sped. She slid her knees
outward, lowering her mouth and tilting her head to a better angle. She took
more of him, felt him bump the back of her throat with each rotation.

“Oh!” He framed her face with his hands and helplessly
rocked into her mouth.

Thrilled by his urgency, she relaxed her throat and tilted
her head back even farther.
Come for me
. She pushed her excitement
across their link, showing him how eager she was to know his taste.

He cried out and pushed to the back of her mouth, shuddering
violently as his seed released in rhythmic jets. She swallowed and swallowed
again, taking as much as he had, unwilling to let him go until he’d surrendered
every last drop of his pleasure.

They stared into each other’s eyes as she licked him clean.
He brushed her hair back from her face, his hands trembling and careful. “I
love you,” he whispered. “You know that, don’t you?”

She pulled back, releasing his semi-hard cock into her
waiting hand. “I love you too.”

He chuckled, pulling her up until their faces were on a
level. “You sound surprised.”

“I didn’t think I believed in love at first sight. In fact,
I wasn’t sure I believed in romantic love at all, so how can I be in love with
you? We’ve only known each other a few days.”

“But look at all we’ve been through in those few days.” He
brushed her mouth with his. “Don’t try to analyze it. Some things can’t be
explained. You either accept them or you don’t.” He curved his index finger
beneath her chin and looked deep into her eyes. “Do you accept me?”

Chapter Ten

Kyle held his breath as he waited for Ava to respond to his
question. She’d just pleasured him with utter selflessness. Why was he
pressuring her? She knelt in front of him naked, his scent still clear on her
breath. She’d never denied her desire for him. She’d just been overwhelmed by
the changes and the pace at which everything was happening.

He was about to offer her an out when she pushed to her feet
and smiled. “I can’t guarantee I’ll never bombard you with questions again, but
I accept you. I accept that the Creator has a plan for my life and you are an
essential part of it.”

He stood too, wrapping his hand around the back of her neck
as he bent to kiss her. “I’ll spend the rest of my life making sure you don’t
regret that decision.”

Their lips met, pressing and sliding as they enjoyed the
simple intimacy of sharing each other’s breath. Then he parted her lips with
the tip of his tongue and explored the underside of her lips. They’d felt so
soft against his cock. Just the thought of it sent blood rushing to his groin.

Her tongue curled around his, drawing him deeper into his
mouth. His taste lingered on her tongue and his cat stretched and growled,
ready to imprint her body with his mark. She clutched his shoulders and rubbed
her soft breasts against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and eased
his knee between her legs.

A vivid image formed within his mind, provided by his restless
cat. He had her pressed against the wall with her legs wrapped around his waist
as he drove into her with fast, deep strokes. She moaned, her fingers digging
into his shoulders and he realized she’d seen the image too.

He tore his mouth from hers and picked her up. “My cat might
be ready to fuck you, but I promised you payback. Remember?”

“I think your cat’s got it right.” She was panting softly,
her breasts quivering with each ragged breath. “Payback can wait for another
day.”

“Don’t think so.” He placed her on the bed then knelt on the
floor and pulled her hips toward the edge of the mattress. She only resisted a
little when he parted her thighs and draped one of her legs over his shoulder.
Her scent sank deeper into his consciousness with each indrawn breath. “You
smell so damn good.”

She canted her hips, silently offering her creamy slit. He
bent lower and traced her seam with the tip of her tongue. Her folds parted for
him and he circled the entrance to her body. “Is this where you want me?” He pushed
his tongue right into her core and she arched off the bed with a muffled cry.
“Or would you rather have my mouth here?” He closed his lips around her swollen
clit and gently sucked.

“Yes! Oh Kyle, please.”

He chuckled against her damp flesh. “Yes to which one?”

“Either. Or both. Just don’t stop until I come.”

Even after the powerful release she’d given him, his need
had returned with a vengeance. He licked her from front to back then returned
to her sensitive clit. She pushed up against his mouth, rocking her hips as she
whispered his name.

He pushed two fingers into her core and flicked his tongue
against her nub. Her inner muscles tightened around his fingers as he slid his
hand in and out. Her cream was intoxicating. He wanted to drink her down and
feel her spasm against his lips.

Desire thrummed across their link, making his body pulse in
time with hers. He withdrew his fingers and shifted both her legs over his
shoulders. Then he raised her to his mouth and fucked her with his tongue. She
cried out, shaking as an orgasm claimed her. He stayed inside her as her inner
muscles rippled and her cream flowed into his mouth.

She started to relax and he lowered her hips to the bed as
he raised his head from between her thighs. “Now we can indulge my cat,” he
said with a grin. “This is your night to call the shots. How do you want me?”

A fresh wave of desire sparked within her eyes and she let
her gaze wander over his body. “On your back. I want to ride you again.”

“Fair enough.” He climbed onto the bed and spread out on his
back. She’d offered him her acceptance. The least he could do was allow her one
night of control. Rather than reach for her as he wanted to, he folded his arms
and tucked his hands beneath his head.

She crawled toward him, eyes glowing with desire and a
triumphant smile parting her lips. “It’s just killing you, isn’t it?” She swung
one of her legs over and settled astride his hips.

“If this is what you need, I’ll deal with it.”

Her smile softened as she reached down and guided his aching
cock to the center of her body. “Just tonight,” she whispered as she slowly
sank onto his length. She dropped her head back and moaned. “That feels so
good.”

His fists clenched then he interlaced his fingers, anything
to keep from grasping her hips and going wild. She felt hot and firm around his
shaft as she paused to savor the fullness. Then she rocked forward and dragged
her body up with the same torturous slowness.

“Come on, sunshine. You’re killing me.”

She braced her hands against his shoulders and slid up and
down with the rolling motion of her hips. “Better?”

“Faster.”

She moved faster, but the new pace made her breasts sway and
bounce. “Let me move.” He ground out the words, unable to ignore the demands of
his nature any longer.

“Okay.” She pressed her mouth over his and surrendered
control.

He rolled, sweeping her beneath him as he pinned her arms to
the bed. She drew her legs up against his sides as he shifted to his knees.
Then he released her arms and lifted her hips to better accommodate his first
deep thrust. She kept her arms raised and stared into his eyes as he began to
move.

Her pussy clung to him, caressing his entire length as he
shuttled in and out. The longing in her gaze warmed and excited him, mocking
his determination to make it last. It always felt so perfect when he was inside
her. He wanted it to last forever, but the perfection of their joining was
generally what pushed him over the edge.
