Axel reels me back into his embrace, encircling his arms around my waist. I gasp as he pulls me in tight to his body.
“Um,” I say, heart pounding in my chest. “Ah, that is…palms…sweaty?”
“Oh sweetness,” he purrs, tucking a lock of my hair behind my ear. “You’re gonna be sweaty all over when I’m done with you.”
Axel’s mouth presses into my own. I stiffen up at first, unsure that I’m ready for this. But my body tingles all over, with a familiar warmth growing in my belly. Oh, I’m ready. I’ve been ready for a while, I’ve just been trying to talk myself out of it.
I relax, giving into his kiss. Axel takes the signal for what it is and plunges deeper. His kiss is hard, aggressive. Possessive. It’s as if he’s been holding an animal back behind a veneer of one-liners and slacker attitude.
But now he’s letting the animal loose, and it’s starving. There’s only one thing it wants to eat, and it happens to be me.
As if of their own accord, my arms slide up and encircle his neck. I cling to him like a rock climber with a broken rope as his kiss grows deeper, more intimate. He tastes wonderful. Perfect. Exactly the way I hoped he would taste.
Gone is the goofy pretend action hero, replaced with a grown man who knows exactly what he wants. Me. I’ve never had a man just give in to his desires so powerfully before. Not when I was the object of those desires.
Axel’s hand sweeps up to the middle of my back. He crushes me into his embrace as his mouth leaves my lips only to latch onto my neck mercilessly. I cry out at the sharpness of his teeth, then moan softly a moment later as he kisses and licks it all better.
His other hand moves over the slope of my bottom and grabs firmly. I groan, instinctively grinding myself against Axel as he kneads my bottom and pries my cheeks apart.
A sharp crack across my ass makes me cry out.
“Did you just spank me?” I cry.
“Yes,” he mumbles, his mouth on my clavicle.
“I think I liked it.”
With a growl, he rips my top down to my waist, exposing me. I cry out, but not from pain or fear, as he spins me around to face away from him. I plant my hands against the worn wooden timbers of a long-collapsed pier as his hot mouth kisses its way over my shoulders and back.
“You are magnificent, June,” he whispers into my body. My moans of delight mingle with the susurrus of the rolling ocean waves. There’s no one to see us but the moon. It reminds me of a line from a movie I helped produce.
Love, like murder, should never have a witness.
“Axel,” I gasp. “Axel, I’m ready.”
His hand smacks into my bottom. My sharp cry turns to laughter as he spanks me again. A delightful pulse of ecstasy spreads from my clit through the rest of my body, making my brain feel fizzy, with each new smack.
“You do like this,” he says. “Good thing I love giving women what they want.”
“Oh, and you know just how to do it,” I moan teasingly.
Axel growls in response.
“You’re asking for it, June.”
“I’m begging for it but are you man enough to give it to me,” I purr.
His sputtering response comes amid a flurry of action. He hikes my skirt up to my waist, exposing my skin to the wind and the moonlight. His hot breath spreads over my skin as he moves his face in close. He kisses my pliant flesh before biting gently. I cry out, fingers curling around the sea-worn timbers of the old pier.
Axel pulls my panties to the side, getting a full view of my pussy from the rear. His fingers stroke through the valley between my swollen, quivering lips, coming away wet. My legs are already shaking so badly I can barely stand. It feels so good to have Axel touch me.
“God, I’ve wanted you so bad.”
“Axel,” I sputter. It's all I can speak at the moment, with the waves of pleasure his continued stroking elicits in my core. Axel shuffles around, and then I feel something hard and warm against my thigh. My hand darts back, feeling about until I can grip his throbbing cock.
Axel gasps, and then he spins me around to face him. Our naked bodies press together. My hips buck, my body arching toward him as of its own volition.
“You talk a lot of shit,” he growls, eyes sparkling with desire.
