Page 30 of Enforcing the Rules

Suddenly, his eyes softened. He lowered his head and his lips trailed along my neck to my breast, and up to first one nipple and then the other. His hand stroked over my skin, down my flat stomach. His fingers delved into my wetness, spreading it around as his thumb strummed my clit until I couldn’t keep still. My hips lifted, seeking out every thrust of his fingers, wanting more.

His mouth trailed up my neck to my ear. “I want to fuck you, baby. You ready?”

“Yes.” My breath stuttered as his fingers found that spot again.

Utah stretched across me to the condoms, tore open one packet, and rolled it on. Then his knees spread my thighs wide open. He took his hard length in his hand and swirled the head of it through my wetness, circling the opening of my pussy.

It was an incredible tease, and I lifted my hips.

His weight rested on one strong palm on the bed next to my waist. Now that he was about to take me, he took his time. His eyes were locked on my opening, and his jaw clenched, like his control was hanging by a thread.

“Look at me, Utah,” I whispered. His gaze meshed with mine. “Take me.”

Those gray orbs flared, and he slid deep in one thrust, making me gasp, but we never broke eye contact. He held me with that heated stare he entire time he thrust in and out of me.

“So fucking good,” he growled. “So fucking tight.”

“You feel amazing,” I replied.

“Heaven,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to my lips.

We fucked face to face, and I watched every expression and emotion as he built us both slowly toward another shattering orgasm. I felt every sensation so much more with our eyes locked. It was intense and intimate and unlike any sex I’d ever had before.

When we were done, he pressed kisses all over my face, until he moved to my breasts and we started all over again. He rolled me to my stomach and lifted me onto my hands and knees, then fucked me from behind, his hands gripping my hips as he plunged deep.

We worked through every condom, fucking late into the night, sometimes gentle, sometimes rough until he collapsed beside me, and wrapped me in his arms, his chest to my back.

His mouth found my ear, nipping. “Sleep, beautiful.”

And I did. I fell asleep in his arms, knowing I’d be sore in the morning and not minding a bit, because I was more content than I’d felt in a long time.

CHAPTER TEN

Utah—

Warmth on my chest woke me, along with the bright light. I cracked an eye open and saw the sun coming in through the blinds, hitting my bare skin. I lay on my back, the white sheet covering my crotch.

Drawing in a deep breath, I stretched, and turned my head. The bed next to me was empty. I ran my hand over the sheet to see if it was still warm from Kate’s body. It was not.

Bolting upright, I glanced through to the bathroom and found it empty.

I yanked on my jeans and strode out into the living room, hoping I’d find Kate in the kitchen, but the townhouse was empty and silent.

I yanked the front door open; her car was gone from my driveway.

“Goddamn.” My heart sank, and that was a new feeling for me. I’d never had a woman sneak out on me before. They were always there in the morning. Usually, I had to run them off.

I went inside and grabbed my phone off the nightstand, checking for a text or missed call. Nothing. Then I realized we’d been so busy last night; I’d never gotten her number. I thought I’d have time. Now Kate was gone without a word, and I had no way to call her.

It pissed me off. I made a cup of coffee, grabbed my smokes, and went out on the deck. It really bothered me that Kate had left without saying goodbye. Why the hell was that? I’d never cared enough about a woman to feel this way before. This was new, and I didn’t like it.

I took a sip of coffee, then lit a cigarette, studied the morning sun sparkling on the water, and listened to the calming sound of the river raging over the rocks.

I stared at the distant mountains, and doubts crept in. Had I pushed too hard last night? Had I been too rough? Too controlling? Had I scared her?

She’d seemed to enjoy everything I did.

I took a drag and blew out a stream of smoke.
