Page 49 of Mac
Mac lifted Elyse and carried her the short distance to the bed, where he lay her down.His gaze played down the length of her body.
"Damn,a thasgaidh,you are beautiful."The words were out as fast as he was aware of thinking them.He didn't have time to second guess himself, not with this kind of bounty offering itself.
The tips of her breasts stood as puckered peaks, enticing him to bend close for a taste.He leaned in and covered one dusky tip with his lips.Elyse's back arched, pressing her tits up to him as if silently begging for more.Mac was unable to resist the temptation of her skin.He didn't even try as he cupped one orb with a hand, his thumb playing over and over her sensitive nipple while his tongue and teeth teased the other.
Elyse's head fell back as a cry seemed to wrench itself from her throat.Her hands clawed at him, pulling him closer.Mac let his hands play along her body, wringing cries from her until she begged him to stop for a moment.
"Don't like it?"he asked as he gazed up along her body to her flushed face.
"Just the opposite.I liked it too much and I don't want it over too soon."
"That’s one of the beauties of the female bodya thasgaidh, coming doesn't mean it's over."
A disbelieving noise came from the back of her throat."I've heard that, of course, who hasn't?But I have a hard-enough time climaxing once.I've never been able to go more than that."
Mac lifted one brow and wondered who she'd been sleeping with all her life."You realize men take statements like that as a challenge, right?"
"Not the ones I've been seeing."
"Then you've been seeing the wrong guys, or maybe boys would be a more accurate description."
"Maybe I have," her own brow cocked in return, "or maybe you just talk big too."
Mac let the low growl rumble through him as he stalked up her body.She was pushing buttons, trying to goad him into proving her wrong.And he fully intended to.But he wasn't about to let her think he was that easily manipulated.By the time he finished with her tonight she would be begging him to stop.Not because she wasn't ready for it to end but because she couldn't handle any more.
Before it had just been about them both enjoying themselves, now it was a matter of pride.
Her past relationships may have been selfish or unaware that she hadn't been getting everything she could from their encounters, but after tonight, Elyse would no longer believe multiple orgasms as a myth.
Mac played his hands, mouth and body over hers until she cried out in release, then he leaned back and watched the pleasure fade from her face before starting all over again.By the time he was ready to let it end, Elyse lay sprawled on the bed, limp and exhausted, yet smiling in a way that made him feel ten feet tall.One last orgasm, this time for them both and he'd let her rest.
When it was over, he collapsed beside her in a tired heap.He barely had the energy to pull her into his arms, but he managed.
Asmall sound jerked Mac from sleep into full alertness.He knew in an instant someone else was in the house.Quietly, he covered Elyse's mouth with his hand so she wouldn't speak or cry out as he woke her.He felt her stiffen as she woke.Mac whispered, his voice barely more than a breath against her ear.
"Get into the closet and close the door as quietly as you can.Stay there until I come get you.Got it?"He felt her nod against his hand still covering her mouth.
Mac waited until the door rolled softly shut before sliding out of bed, taking his pistol from the bedside table and easing out of the bedroom.A clatter in the living room let him know where the intruder was.It was as if they weren't even trying to be quiet.
As mac reached the entryway to the living room, he scanned the opening but didn't see anyone.Another noise told him whoever was in the house had moved on to the kitchen.That didn't stop Mac from clearing the living room before moving on.The last thing he needed was to end up with unfriendlies on both sides of him.Especially when he had Elyse to worry about.Mac crept through the living room, his weapon at the ready.
There was a light on in the kitchen that Mac was certain hadn't been on when they had gone to bed.It was dim and from the angle, Mac thought it might be coming from the refrigerator.
After making his way to the opening, Mac listened a moment.There seemed to be only one person moving around.That would help but didn't reassure him.too much as for all he knew, the intruder had an automatic weapon with enough rounds to cut him and Elyse both in half.
A faint squeak and the light disappearing told Mac whoever was in the kitchen had closed the fridge.Now was the time.He needed to take every advantage he could.Mac made his move now, while whoever was in the kitchen's vision was compromised from the light.
Mac moved quickly, wishing he'd had time to call or to wait for backup, but Elyse was in danger and he couldn't wait.He rounded the corner into the kitchen, careful to keep his back pressed against the wall, his weapon at the ready.Until he knew exactly where the intruder was.It didn't take him long to spot the man near the counter and quickly made sure there was no one else in the room.
"Freeze," Mac growled.His finger hovered along the edge of the trigger guard as he sighted along the barrel at the intruder's chest."You chose the wrong house to rob, asshole."Mac stayed where he was.He needed to figure out if the man was armed and what he wanted before getting any closer.
"Rob?"the voice sounded confused."I'm not robbing the place.Why would I rob it?I have a key."
Mac used one hand to flip on the lights while his other held the pistol steady on the intruder.They both blinked without moving for a few seconds as their eyes adjusted.After he could see clearly, Mac spoke again.
"Keep your hands where they are and turn around, slowly.No sudden moves."
The man in front of him did as he was told, slowly turning in place until he faced Mac.They intruder's eyes went wide as he spotted Mac, the pistol aimed at him.Mac didn't flinch.
