Page 84 of Wicked Suspicion

“Yes, ma’am.” He finished unzipping his jeans and bent over to get rid of his boots. Nyx stroked his ass. His cock jerked. “Slow down,” he ordered, voice thick.

“No, I don’t think so.”

Her tone was pure bravado. If Case didn’t know her as well as he did, he might have bought it. Taking her chin between his thumb and forefinger, he said, “I know you. You’re nervous and trying to hide it, but I see it. Don’t play pretend with me. Be real. Be you.”

“I’m worried that if you see my nerves you’ll think it’s something you did. Or worse yet, you’ll stop and I’ll have to convince you again that I want you.”

“There’s clearly one solution.” He reached for the hooks on the back of her bra and opened it. “I’ll have to get you so worked up that you forget to be nervous.”

He swept the straps down her arms but didn’t completely free them, because he didn’t want her covering herself. “Beautiful,” he assured her and bent forward to take a nipple in his mouth. He teased it with his tongue before moving to the other. She was clutching his hair, holding him to her. Before he was finished, the bra was on the floor. Forgotten.

Walking her backward to the bed, he yanked down the covers and then kissed his way from her breasts to her bellybutton. Slowly, hoping she would be too distracted to notice, he inched her panties down. “Lift your leg,” he said softly and snuck a peek at her face.

No uneasiness. Just dazed pleasure.

“Now the other leg.” Tossing the panties aside, he kissed Nyx on the inside of her knee, teased her a little, and moved up her thigh. Slowly. A fraction of an inch at a time.

It was a victory when her strength gave out and she sat on the edge of the mattress, legs spread to give him enough room to continue his path. He took his time, teasing little gasps and moans from her, but refusing her urges to hurry up.

He finally kissed her where she wanted. “So wet, Fireball.”

“Case.”

“I know. It’s going to be so good. Trust me.”

“Do trust you.”

He tasted her, taking the time to enjoy her. She was writhing by the time he lifted his head. “You want to come on my mouth or my cock?”

“Cock,” Nyx said without hesitation.

“Get on the bed and move over so I have room.”

As she followed orders, Case shed his briefs and went over to the dresser to grab a condom. He was sheathed and ready by the time he reached the bed.

Bracing himself on one elbow, Case leaned over and studied her. Nyx’s eyes remained glazed with passion and her breathing was erratic. He kissed her, trying to tell her without words that she was special. That she was his.

Cupping her, he slipped a couple of fingers inside. Nyx was wet, and she took them easily. Case moved between her thighs, lined himself up, and entered her slowly. Watching her face every millimeter he advanced. When he was about halfway, he paused. “How are you doing, Fireball?” His voice was thick and guttural. He was hanging on by a thread.

“Good. Don’t stop.” She arched her hips, taking him deeper.

Before he realized what she was up to, Nyx did it again and he was nearly completely inside her. “Impatient,” he whispered, and since she smiled, he slid all the way home.

Case paused for what felt like an eternity but was probably only seconds. He wanted Nyx to get used to him before he asked her for more. Then he tried a light thrust. She moved with him, not perfectly, but close enough to make him swallow a groan.

Using his hand to guide her, Case helped Nyx find the rhythm. She clung to him and he stroked into her, driving her arousal to a fever pitch.

He wanted to prolong it, to make it last, but the little noises she made propelled him past the point of no return.

Letting go of her hip, he moved his hand between them and found the center of her pleasure. He stroked her, teased her, and until with a serrated moan, she arched hard into him and froze, riding out the orgasm.

Case kept moving, kept her coming until he lost the reins of self-control. Then he joined her, coming harder than he ever had before in his life.

Chapter 34

They would need to leave for the airport soon, but Nyx didn’t want to check out of the hotel. She knew she had to go back to LA. She knew she wasn’t safe here and that her presence endangered others. But she also knew once she left Case, everything would change.

It would change anyway. He had an op to complete, and even if she could remain in Trujillo, he wouldn’t be able to see her.
