“No.I’m definitely not an enforcer.”This was the third time he’d told her this, and still she had doubts.There was definitely something this guy wasn’t telling her, and at the same time there was no denying his body was making her feel things she hadn’t wanted to feel in a very long time.
“Then, what do you want with me?Why do you insist on following me talking about how you’re trying to protect me?”
“Because I am.”He turned his face away from her and cursed when he moved, pressing his erection against her panty-covered mound and then groaning.
Dammit, she felt like moaning too, but instead closed her eyes to the rush of sensation filling her body.It wasn’t a foreign sensation, because she was more than familiar with finding her own pleasure.But there’d never been a man who could give her this feeling.The only ones she’d ever had—four years ago—were in and out by her insistence.So, why this guy and why now?Maybe because he wasn’t like any man she’d ever known.Whether that was good or bad, the jury was still out.
Something wasn’t right here, outside of her not trusting everything he said.And it wasn’t just that he’d somehow managed to break into her private and supposedly secure location.No, it was more than that, something that had been simmering on a slow boil between them since the first day she’d noticed him.
“This is a, um, strange way of protecting me.”Her words were a low whisper, but that was okay since his face was only inches away from hers now.He’d leaned in closer after moving over her and she just lay there, not doing a damn thing to stop him.
His expression appeared tight, almost painful, as he held his body still over her.She wondered what he would do if she moved at this moment?How would it feel?Would they both combust?It was foolish and Ravyn didn’t tout herself as being a foolish person, but she’d never been in this position before.She’d never felt this arousedandhad a hot guy between her legs at the same time.
“I’m gonna do better,” he said and then shook his head.“Damn!You’re so hot down there.”
He wasn’t lying.Her vulva felt swollen and the crotch of her panties were damp with all the essence that had dripped from her since he’d been on top of her.His voice sounded so tortured, but she didn’t know how to stop being aroused.She moved only the top half of her body, trying to inch away from him, but his knees trapped her lower body and the movement only succeeded in rubbing her throbbing juncture against the hard bulge in his jeans.
“If you don’t want to get fucked right here and now, I’d suggest you not do that again.”
“That’s not an option.”She had no idea when she’d made that decision or why, but the words tumbled out of her mouth without a second thought and now her body protested, with her nipples hardening to painful peaks and her thighs beginning to tremble.
“I’m going to move off of you,” he said, but his face was going lower, until his mouth was right at her ear.“It’s going to feel like I’m sliding over you, my dick easing over your pussy, but I’m gonna get up.I promise.And then we can finish talking about the dag—”
Before he could finish that last word his body was moving.It seemed of its own volition, because he cursed under his breath and she could swear she felt his arms tremble as he continued to lean most of his weight on them.Her legs spread a little wider.There wasn’t much room before they were bumping against his knees, but as they spread he eased down farther, groaning as the action pressed his erection farther between her legs.Encouraged, she wiggled her hands and almost smiled with glee when he released them.
With quick motions she brought her legs up to press against his groin and extended her arms forward to chop against both sides of his neck.That was supposed to send him reeling back in pain, at which time she would roll from beneath him and get to the dagger he’d so helpfully reminded her of, but it didn’t work out that way.
Steele was even faster than Ravyn thought she was.He moved his arms to wrap around her waist, rolling over onto his back and pulling her on top of him.But it was what he did when she was there that shifted everything that had transpired between them so far.It jolted her senses and sent some sort of sparks shooting throughout the room the moment he locked a hand to her nape while the other arm held her tightly and securely to him.He brought her head down and before she could think of whether she wanted to scream, curse or bite him as a last-ditch effort to get free, he kissed her.
His lips were warm and powerful, taking her mouth expertly while his hand tilted her head and his tongue slipped easily inside.She hadn’t wanted to open her mouth and join in the kiss.Oh hell yes she did and she was glad of it!The warmth she’d felt when he’d first fallen on top of her was nothing compared to this sensual takeover.His tongue slid alongside hers as if he were actually drinking her.He hungrily gulped and she readily reached for more.The hand around her waist moved until his palm was gripping her ass.Her entire body quaked at the sensation and a moan escaped when that hand on her ass slid down until his fingers were pressing between her legs.
Ravyn cupped his face with her hands—just in case he tried to end the kiss, because she wasn’t having that, not now.And she spread her legs wider, a little whimper escaping her chest that for an instant made her feel as if she were begging.It didn’t last long and if he heard it he was acquiescing, because he slipped his fingers beneath the waistband of her panties to find the waiting heat of her center.Pressing past her thick, wet lips, he thrust deeply.With his fingers inside of her and his tongue orchestrating some dangerously sexy duel with hers, Ravyn felt like she was drowning.Like at some point this room had started to fill with water and she was now floundering to keep afloat.
She took that moment to suck his tongue into her mouth, then pulled back slightly and did the same with his bottom lip.All the while he had two fingers pressed deep inside her, moving them in and out until her hips began to undulate with his motions.Moaning echoed throughout the room and it took her a few seconds to realize it was her making that keening sound.The blunt tips of his fingers ran along her scalp as he wrapped long strands of hair around his fingers and pulled until there was a tingle of pain.But that pain didn’t last long, as it was immediately engulfed by the pleasure of his finger that had slipped from her opening to circle around her clit.She couldn’t think, couldn’t see, couldn’t move, it felt so good.Her thighs trembled and she pulled her mouth away from his to clench her teeth.
“Come for me, little hellion.”
His words were husky and he didn’t sound like the same man who’d been asking her fifty questions just moments ago.She wanted to come, oh damn did she want to and she was going to, all he had to do was keep doing what he was doing.
“Yes,” she hissed.“Right.There.”
He circled his finger a little faster and she felt her hips bucking over him as spurts of pleasure penetrated her deep down inside.
“Come, right in my hand,” he said.“Next time it’ll be in my mouth.”
Her eyes closed so tight Ravyn feared they might never open again.She had to release the tension on her teeth before she got lockjaw or something, but her hands tightened on his face as she lowered her forehead to his.“Yes.Yes.Yes!”
The moment she began to shake all over, he flattened the pad of his finger over her clit, circling until she was drained of every ounce of essence she possessed.
“Damn,” she whispered.
“Yeah,” he replied, looking at her like a man who knew he wasn’t finished with her.“We’re both damned now.”
