Page 27 of Love's Hot

“I think you will agree the two nights we’ve spent together have been pretty awesome and I’m not ashamed to admit, the best sex I’ve ever had.” I open my mouth to continue and he grabs my hand, squeezing it.

“Lilly, we made a deal.” He looks nervous at what I’m about to say.

“I know. Let me finish.” I swallow the lump in my throat that feels like it’s going to choke me. “I know neither of us are interested in being tied down in any kind of serious relationship. We both have our reasons. Which yours is silly but hey, you’re a guy and men are stupid,” I try to lighten the moment.

“Careful there, sassy girl.” Kane pokes his finger into my ribs and makes me laugh.

“I was thinking maybe we could just keep doing this. You know, sex in a friendly environment whenever either of us feels the urge. You know, like when you need stress relief and when I need a good hard night of sex in a safe environment, no strings attached.” I knew as soon as I said the word safe it would appeal to his protectiveness.

He just keeps staring at me with no real reaction on his face and not saying a word.

“You know, like a friends-with-benefits scenario. One we keep between us.” My stomach is churning. I’m trying to look like I’m super confident but it’s not the case at all.

Kane sits for a moment silent, not saying a word, not giving me anything. I’m just about to tell him to forget it and we can just move on when he starts to laugh. It gets louder and stronger, making the bed bounce from the movement of his body.

“You want us to be fuck buddies. Is that what you want, Lilly? To be at my beck and call whenever I want someone to fuck?”

What the hell?

“You make it sound so sleazy and pathetic. You’re such an asshole. Just forget I even said anything. I think it’s time I left.” Before I have time to even move off the bed, Kane is dragging me down the bed and is straddling me, holding my hands above my head.

“You bite so easy. Just calm down, you’re not going anywhere. You just caught me off guard which doesn’t happen often. Let’s talk about this.”

“What’s the point? You think it’s a stupid idea and aren’t interested. We obviously just need to move on.” Trying to wriggle my hips to make him get off is becoming a waste of time.

“You know, the more you keep wriggling your pussy underneath my cock, the less concentration I have for this conversation. All that’ll happen is that I’ll be pinning you to the bed with a different leg. Get the picture?”

I can’t help but laugh. “You are so crass sometimes. Why didn’t you just say I’m going to spear you with my dick, so you stop moving. Isn’t that what you meant?”

“Same thing. I just tried to be more of a gentleman.”

“You have got to be kidding. Save that for the other gullible ladies that visit this bed.” I want to slap myself as soon as the words leave my mouth. Kane’s body language changes, and I feel like I swallowed tabasco sauce and it’s burning all the way down.

“I’m sorry, that was a shit thing to say. One, because I know you aren’t like that, and two, it makes me look like my own idiot because I am one of those supposed gullible women. I’ll just open my mouth, shall I, so I can take the shoe out of it that I rammed down there.”

His hand sweeps my hair off my shoulder and slides up to cup my cheek. The cheek that is now red with embarrassment.

“Lilly, the only person I’m worried about right this moment is the sexy naked one in my bed. Propositioning me to become fuck buddies with her. Now, listen while I talk this time.” I start to open my mouth only to have him place his finger on my lips and silence me.

“You have asked me something that’s crazy, but I must admit very appealing to both me and my big cock.” Always the one to lighten the moment with his ego. “I’m worried you will go all girly on me after a while and become attached and I don’t want to hurt you. You’re the only woman who I’ve told my real reason for not wanting anything permanent. So, you know that fuck buddies is all we can ever be. Do you really honestly think you can cope with that?”

If he wants my honest answer it’ll be I don’t know. I keep telling myself I can. I know I’m not ready to settle down for marriage and the average two point five kids. The one thing I’m certain of, though, is that I don’t want to walk away from Kane just yet. He’s a sex god that plays my body like a master but it’s more than that.

Sure, he can dominate me and pleasure me until I’m incoherent. The best part, though, is he knows when to bring gentle Kane into the room too. He gives me both sides of him. He reads my body and knows what I need. In a way I’m being greedy. I’m thinking of my needs and how he’s the first man who takes care of me in a way I didn’t even know I would enjoy.

The way he’s stroking my cheek tells me that I bring something to him too. He might not admit it or understand it, but he needs relief from his mind. I can do that for him. In a way I hope gives him more than a nameless, faceless one-night stand can.

“I know I can. I’m the one suggesting it. You can’t tell me you don’t want more of the last two nights. Without having to worry about the nagging phone calls or the text messages wondering what you’re doing and why you haven’t been in contact. I’m not needy like that. I don’t care what you do every second of every day. I’ll only care that while we’re together we’re having a good time.” I’m not sure who I’m trying to convince harder, me or Kane.

“What you’re saying is that this is just purely about good, hot, spine-tingling sex? No wining and dining needed. That you’re okay with a message to meet for a booty call? I’ve got to admit this sounds too good to be true.” Kane’s looking at me like he’s trying to work out what’s going on in my head.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. Do you think you can handle it? I know I’m irresistible and I don’t want you all brokenhearted and devastated when I throw you aside when I’ve had enough of you.” Like that’s going to happen, but it doesn’t hurt to bring out the inner bitch to show a bit of self-confidence.

“Oh, I’ll be perfectly okay with spending more time inside you, Red. That’s for sure. You just name the time and the place, and I’ll control the rest. That’s the way this will work. Will you cope with me taking control of your little games of pleasure? You know me but there’s a lot more to learn if you’re willing. You take me as one who likes a crazy adventure but how wild can you be, Red?”

“Maybe you need to find out.”

“Get ready for the ride of your life, little lady. This may be a lot wilder than even you imagined.”
