His Rules

Chapter 23

CHAPTER 23

S ebastian

The dress fell easily to the stone, revealing the scintillating prize underneath. No matter how many times I’d been lucky enough to grab a look at her voluptuous body, Kacey still managed to take my breath away.

Tonight she was wearing only a thong underneath, the bright red slip of lace matching the dress that had hugged every curve. Without commanding her, she stepped out of the material, shoring her shoulders and providing me with a single exciting purr.

I crouched down, brushing my fingers along the backs of her legs as I did. Very gently, I lifted one leg, removing her shoe, tickling the top of her foot before moving to the other. She remained still the entire time, but I sensed her desire, not only by her sweet scent, but by her ragged breathing.

As soon as I rose to my feet, I pressed the full weight of my body against hers. It would be easy to devour her within seconds, but I wanted to take the time enjoying every moment. I had a feeling these would become few and far between. Besides, she belonged to me.

The thought brought a roaring wave of hunger. I could do anything I wanted to her.

Kissing.

Teasing.

Tasting.

Fucking.

The feeling of having so much power was heady.

I rolled the palms of my hands down from her shoulders, crawling my fingers very slowly until I reached the waistband of her thong. Her breath caught as I slipped my fingers under the elastic and just as I’d done before, I eased them down to her knees, pressing kisses on one side of her buttocks then the other while lowering the thin lace.

She was dripping wet, her longing building just like mine.

Removing her panties was cathartic, pushing my libido to a raging level. I brought the material to my mouth and nose, inhaling deeply. A wash of electrifying vibrations shot all the way down my legs.

This time as I stood, I squeezed her shoulder and she placed her hand on mine. This was a dance, the predator claiming his prey all under the guise of romance.

She said nothing, but as she turned her head to peer at me over her shoulder, I was rewarded with a dart of her tongue across her bottom lip. The provocative move always set me off.

I took a giant stride backward, already in the process of undressing.

Kacey didn’t ask me what I wanted her to do. She knew instinctively, moving to the set of stairs leading to the water. She never blinked as she took them slowly, the defiance I’d grown to adore remaining on her face.

She had the soul of a vixen, but the heart of a woman in need. We were perfect together.

And in truth, that terrified me.

How could this woman affect me in so many ways? I barely knew her yet I’d known her for over twenty years. It was unfathomable we were here this way on this glorious night.

A slight smile finally curled on her lips as she moved toward me, skimming through the water like a swan. When she was close to the edge, but far enough away that I couldn’t easily reach her, she beckoned me with a single finger.

I hesitated, growling under my breath as I pulled down my trousers, kicking off my shoes just before they hit the patio.

To counter my hesitation, she blew a kiss before flexing her fingers open and rubbing them forcefully down her chest. I was in awe at the way my cock always responded to her, the ache in my balls tremendous.

She swayed her hips and flicked her fingers back and forth across her nipples. I watched as if entranced, the anticipation killing me. When she had the nerve to pinch her perfect, rosy hard buds, I couldn’t hold back any longer.

Given I wasn’t a patient man, I didn’t bother with the steps, moving to the edge of the pool and jumping in.

Kacey squealed with delight, but immediately moved away, circling me with the space allowed. Together, we continued the dance, moving around in circle after circle.

The moment was spontaneous and only heightened both our needs. I allowed the little game of cat and mouse to continue for a full minute, but as soon as I had enough, I advanced.

Her laughter filled the night air as she did her best to try to get away from me. But she should have known better. Once captured, she would always be mine.

I grabbed her arm, swinging her around until she was forced against my chest. She struggled in vain, her long eyelashes sensuously skimming across her shimmering cheeks.

“You should know better than to attempt to get away from me. I will always find you,” I told her in the commanding voice she always responded to instantly.

“But you love the chase.”

“Not tonight.” I cupped the back of her head while she tossed her arms over my shoulders. I was still spinning us in a tight circle, but this time, I had full control. She jutted her head forward as she wrapped her legs around my upper thighs.

“Kiss me,” she moaned.

“Do you deserve it?”

“I deserve everything.” Her eyes lit up and she was the one who captured my mouth, holding our lips in place for several seconds.

I sensed the dart of her tongue and every synapse in my system was on fire. I could easily devour her. I could easily keep her locked away as I’d mentioned. Maybe that would come in the future. The thought was like adding kindling to the fire, the sparks already burning hot.

The kiss was powerful, but grew even more so as I cupped her head, molding her body against mine. The feeling of her warm body wiggling, the slight friction as water lapped over our heated bodies was incredible.

But I needed to be inside of her. I craved filling her completely, pumping her full of my seed. I would make good on the promise to cover her luscious body with cum, forcing her to wear my scent everywhere she went. The thought was devious, but I wanted to mark her as mine for all the world to see.

I dominated her tongue, the sweet taste of a hint of chocolate mixing with red wine a powerful aphrodisiac. Not that I needed one with her. A single look was enough. A heated moment the icing on the cake. The intimate action became rougher because I wanted it that way. I ravaged her mouth, sucking on her tongue while I growled into the kiss.

She was still trembling as I took full control, finally breaking the hold on her lips and tipping back her head. With another growl rushing up from my throat, I dragged first my tongue then my teeth across the long line of her jaw. I nipped her lower lip, biting down until she whimpered and moved to the sweet spot on her neck.

She tensed as I raked my teeth across her jugular, but held on, knowing I would never do anything to harm her.

I bit down with just enough pressure she tensed in my arms. When I finally pulled back, I sank my tongue into her ear and brushed my hand down her back.

There was something almost sweet about the way she was clinging to me, perhaps worried she’d fall off the edge of the cliff we were standing on. With one push, we could go over the edge. I wouldn’t allow that to happen to the woman I couldn’t get enough of.

Yet tonight… Tonight was different. Tonight no one would dare interrupt my taking of her.

I rolled my hand between us, wrapping it around the base of my shaft. I was hard and hot, my needs reaching the boiling point. She tapped my hand and shook that sweet head of hers, taking over and enjoying her ability to drive me crazy.

She bit her lower lip, moaning the entire time she stroked and twisted her hand around my shaft. I couldn’t take my eyes off her, the way she was looking at me unlike anything I’d seen before. Her desire matched mine. Together, we could burn down the world.

The sweet laugh returned when I issued a guttural sound, a reminder that teasing me wasn’t in her best interest. She cooed and tangled her fingers in my hair, squeezing my cockhead at the same time. She knew exactly what she was doing. I should spank her tight little ass for tormenting me.

But I refused to break the connection or to take the time.

I needed this.

No, I needed her.

Every. Single. Inch.

She finally arched her back and placed the tip of my cock against her wet pussy. I was finished with allowing her to toy with me, driving the entire length of my cock inside.

“Oh!” Her moan floated into the night sky and she threw her head back, gasping for air. The power of our chemistry was potent tonight, our combined needs skyrocketing. I pulled out, thrusting into her again and her entire body began to shake.

There was also something possessive about the way she squeezed her knees against me, holding me in place as I was doing with her. I spun us around again and did something to stun her.

I pulled us both under the water.

She sputtered slightly, her eyes opening wide as bubbles floated from her mouth. I was able to drop to my knees, keeping her right there in the vast quiet of the water while I continued fucking her.

There was no struggle, only trust. I felt it. I’d needed it. At that moment, it was as if we were as one. I shot us up to the surface and she once again gasped, not from the need for air, but from the rush I’d felt as well.

The water was suddenly hot, searing my skin, but I kept fucking her, pulling in and out as if my life depended on erupting deep inside.

The friction from the water only heightened the pleasure. She gripped my shoulders as I plunged in and out, her bottom lip quivering the entire time.

“Are you ready to come for me?” I breathed, my voice barely audible.

“Yes.” She was as breathless as I was, quivering from our intense connection.

I pushed us both against the side of the pool, using the stability of the wall to fuck her long and hard. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, her moans becoming more pronounced.

She was close, so close, her pussy muscles constricting around my cock more tightly than they’d done before.

“Then come for me, my diamond.”

Her eyelids fluttered open only once before her body responded to my command. Now every muscle convulsed, her luscious lips pinned tightly together as she fell into the throes of passion.

There was something so incredible about the moment when she came, her face shimmering as the moonlight danced across her skin. I was rough, so forceful I slammed her body against the edge, but she bucked hard against me.

The woman had a way of taking what she wanted. With my heart thudding, I waited as long as I could, but my body’s response to hers was inevitable.

As I erupted deep inside, she threw out one arm while she gripped the back of my neck with the other. There was nothing in this world I appreciated more than seeing her in the depths of rapture.

Coming down from our intense high wasn’t quick or easy. I wanted to continue this moment, to expand on our passion, but the night was young.

And I had other even more filthy things in mind for her.

For us.

Two souls who should have never collided in such passion.

As her breathing began to return to normal, I pressed kisses along her cheek, dragging my tongue to the side of her neck. How I adored her soft moans, her tiny cries of pleasure.

We held each other, her arms wrapped around my shoulders, her body nestled against mine. I stroked her hair, brushing the stray strands from her face as I headed toward the stairs.

Kacey remained quiet, lifting her head as I walked up the stairs. Her eyes were dilated, her body still trembling. I headed toward the rack where the robes had been placed, gently lowering her to the patio.

She didn’t move as I yanked one of the heavy terrycloth pieces from the hook, never blinking as I eased her arms into the sleeves. She looked even more vulnerable, so young that I was reminded once again just how innocent she seemed.

I shouldn’t care. Maybe I honestly didn’t. But it was a stark reminder of how much we had to lose.

She backed away, a sly smile on her face as she grabbed a glass of champagne. Even the way she sipped the bubbly was thrilling, a sweet treat still waiting to be discovered. I jerked on the robe, tying her sash before mine.

Our fingers collided when she handed me the second glass and I brushed the tip of my index finger across her knuckles. We said nothing as we sipped our drinks, merely basking in the ebbing effects of such rare ecstasy.

But I was an insatiable man, one taste never enough.

Only a few seconds later, I gathered her into my arms and she giggled, immediately reaching for the bottle of bubbly.

There was no reason to hurry as I headed into the room, taking my time to move into the bedroom of the suite. The single light I’d requested was on, the staff preparing the bed exactly as I’d requested. There were hundreds of rose petals on the bed. A fitting presentation for my little queen.

And that’s exactly what she was, a woman who could rule beside me.

She gripped my arm, laughing nervously when she noticed the lengths I’d gone to. “You are more of a romantic than you give yourself credit for.”

“I might be able to surprise you,” I told her, placing her onto the bed.

“No, I don’t think you can. While you’re unexpected, I found the soft center.” She slowly untied the sash, lifting her head and using only her eyes to beckon to me once again.

This was going to be a very special night.

One neither of us would forget.

The sharp pounding of sound jarred me from sleep. I opened my eyes, immediately turning my head toward the noise. My goddamn phone was ringing. I didn’t even remember grabbing it from the pocket of my trousers. Fuck. I was sleepy and far too comfortable, but I reached over, snatching it while on the third ring.

“What?”

The laugh on the other end of the line curdled my blood. “What a way to answer a call from your wife.”

Fuck this. “Ex-wife, Ashley. What in the hell do you want?”

“I knew you were fucking me. But screwing that little girl in your office? I can’t believe how low you’ve sunk,” she spouted.

I sat up, glancing over at the still sleeping Kacey. “What are you getting at? My personal life is my personal life. We’re no longer married. Remember?”

“It’s no longer personal, Seby darling.”

She’d called me that during the heated rounds of our divorce when she believed she could do far better than the offer on the table.

“Stop being cryptic. What are you getting at?”

“Fucking her this morning? Haven’t had a chance to glance at the morning papers? I must admit, you look better than during all the times I was forced to act like I was enjoying your limp dick. Did you start working out?”

My entire frame bristled. “What do you want, Ashley?”

“Along with your newfound fame, I heard your stocks tanked this morning. I guess your company isn’t the great creation you believed it to be. Just like I warned you.”

“Warned me?” I threw back the covers. “You acted as if my dreams meant nothing. They certainly meant nothing to you.”

“It no longer matters. What does is you breached our divorce agreement. Now, you can either pay me the difference, which at my estimate is almost eight million dollars, or I’ll see you in court. I’ll give you until Friday afternoon at five to decide. Meanwhile, enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame.”

She ended the call abruptly and I resisted tossing the phone across the room.

“What’s going on?” Kacey said from beside me.

I was shaking from rage, still trying to process the fucked-up clues Ashley had tossed out. “I don’t know.”

“That was your ex-wife.”

“Yes.”

Kacey sat up, holding the sheet over her breasts. When she touched me, another powerful wave of heat collided with the anger. “What is she threatening?”

“Ruination for one.” I immediately moved to the internet on my phone, searching for the local newspaper’s website.

It didn’t take long to find what Ashley was referring to.

“Oh, fuck.”

Kacey rose onto her knees, peering over my shoulder. “What is it?”

“We have a problem.”

The word wasn’t adequate. While what I shared with Kacey wasn’t wrong by any standards, the optics including the timing were terrible.

Plus, it was evident a photographer had been hired to spy on us. Some of the photographs had been taken from outside the restaurant. However, they weren’t as damning as those taken of our time spent in the pool right outside the door.

At this point, I couldn’t hide what was already in print, the photo taken as I’d laid her in the bed where we’d made love three times during the night.

As the woman I’d grown to care about tremendously locked eyes on the pictures as well as the racy headline, I made a pact, a promise that I would avenge her honor.

Drake had gone too far. Now I would destroy him.
