Page 29 of Tower of Temptations

She slid on down, warm pussy smothering me. I threw my head back, moaning with pleasure. I let her take control, allowing the rhythm to be slow at first. I gently thrust up against her body, earning a gasp of delight.

"Little surprise," I whispered.

"Yes, but I have one as well."

Angling her hips, she lowered her body faster. Using my shoulders as leverage, she picked up the pace. I had no words,no response. I groaned but then closed the gap, sharing tender kisses.

This was like heaven. Hell, it might justbeheaven. Pearl rode her hips faster, pumping up and down. I was lost. All I thought about was her.

Pearl knew how to move her body. It was amazing listening to her moans of arousal. After a few more thrusts, I reached down and gently touched her between her legs, rubbing her clit. Our mouths crushed together with wild abandon, desire, and need; all that transpired between both of us.

A couple of thrusts later, Pearl dug her nails into my chest, curving her back as she came, her walls holding me firmly in her hot wetness. She milked me out as I grabbed against her, both of us climaxing hard.

Neither of us moved, even after the high of our orgasm dissipated. Pearl eventually moved off me and lay on the bed. Her blue eyes met mine, tender, wanting. My mind reeled as I recalled our passion.

Normally, I'd feel bad. Sophia's death still haunted me. But for the moment I stared into her pools of blue, my darkest thoughts silenced.

I got off the bed, ready to leave, but then Pearl grabbed my hand.

"Just stay with me."

I didn't need to be told twice. We cuddled together. Pearl snuggled up to me, sweet as could be. A few moments later, she adjusted herself. I imagined she wanted to face me, but instead, she sat up.

"Lay down."

"Why?"

"Let me make you feel good."

I grew curious, but then, her fingers gently kneaded my shoulders. Even though they were soft, the knots disappeared. A sigh of approval escaped me.

"That feels good. I didn't know you had that magical touch."

"There's a lot you don't know about me."

I turned to face her. "I'll get to learn more then."

I closed my eyes, allowing the moment of respite before we went to the kitchen together to enjoy a pot of coffee.

My phone buzzed against the counter. Of course. Giuliano's timing was legendary.

"Coast is clear," he said, not bothering with hello. "Time to come back."

I looked at Pearl, her lips still swollen from my kisses, hair a mess that was entirely my fault. My fingers itched to make it worse. "Right. Yeah. Traffic might be hell, though." My voice was still rough. "Could take a while."

"Vittorio's men are still searching the east side," Giuliano said quietly. "Be careful. Take the back roads."

Pearl's fingers traced along my collarbone, short-circuiting my brain. "Always am, boss."

He grunted and hung up.

Pearl's hand stilled over my heart, and, for a moment, neither of us moved. The weight of reality settling back in. Vittorio was stillout there, and what he'd do if he found out about this... about us...

"So," I managed, trying to ignore how much I wanted to tell the whole world to go to hell and keep her here, safe in this bubble we'd created. "Ready to rejoin civilization?"

Her lips curved in a smile that hit me right in the gut. "Depends. How bad is that traffic you mentioned?"

Christ. That look in her eyes was going to be the death of me. And for the first time in years, I was ready to go down in flames.
