No Good Deed: A Small-Town Romantic Suspense Novel

11. In Good Hands

Troy sank into the kiss even while he grabbed the edges of the counter to stop himself from rushing Piper.

He wanted to go all caveman and strip her right there, pound into her until she was screaming with pleasure. Then, he wanted to do it again on every surface in the house. They hadn’t done much more than kiss, but the woman was a hundred percent addictive.

Instead of following through on his fantasies, he leaned his weight on his hands to keep them still and focused on the kiss. The woman was intoxicating and he could spend hours on her mouth.

Piper’s hands coasted up and down his arms, her fingers slipping beneath the sleeves of his T-shirt and focusing on his biceps. When she tilted her head back, he moved his lips to feast on her throat. Her pulse hammered when he focused his attention on that tiny spot, and she gasped again as he trailed kisses up her neck to her ear.

“Touch me, Troy.”

His entire body jerked at her words. “Are you sure?”

She moved her hands to reach under his T-shirt and ran her fingers over his abs, causing those muscles to flinch too. “I’m sure. As sure as I’ve ever been. Touch me. Let me touch you.”

“Hell yeah.” His voice was a growl, but it couldn’t be helped. He reached over to turn off the burner. Dinner could wait. Something, no, someone more important was on the menu.

He ran his hands along the smooth skin beneath her t-shirt, then lifted it. Her arms moved automatically, and he had his lips back on hers before he tossed it behind him.

Piper imitated his move until his T-shirt joined hers on the floor. She laughed again as she kissed him, but this time, she ran her hands all over his chest and abs at the same time.

He moved his fingers to brush along the skin above her jeans. Her reaction was a soft gasp of pleasure. A sound he wanted to hear again and again. He repeated his motion but moved a little higher, closer to her breasts.

When his fingers brushed against her bra, she moaned, and her head dropped back. He looked down to find her bra was a soft, silky blue. He rubbed his thumbs over her nipples and felt them tighten at his touch. The fabric wasn’t sheer, and he wanted more. He leaned down to lick her through the bra and she nearly leapt off the counter.

Her hands moved to his head to keep him there.

He teased one breast, then the other, until her breathing shortened and those whimpers were revving up his own system. “It’s pretty, but it’s got to go.”

He eased the bra off and then held her breasts in his hands. “So pretty, Piper. I need a taste.” He eased her back until she gasped at the touch of the cool counter beneath her. Her hair spread out around her, her lips swollen from their kisses. She looked perfect.

He closed his mouth around one nipple, and Piper arched up into his touch. He kept one hand teasing her other breast and soon Piper was writhing on the counter, softly panting his name.

He switched his mouth to her other breast and moved his hand to slip open the button on her jeans. When he slid the zipper down, he raised his head to see what she wore beneath.

Soft, silky blue, exactly like her bra. “Sexy as hell, Piper.”

Troy traced his finger along the edge of her panties and then dipped it inside. While he continued to tease her breasts, he let his fingers move lower and lower. When he traced along her seam, Piper wrapped her legs around his waist and squeezed. “You like that?”

“More. More, Troy.”

When his first finger dipped inside, they both groaned again. “You feel so good, Piper.”

He moved his finger, finding what made her squirm, what made her pant, and what had her keening. “You’re the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.” His voice had dropped about an octave.

He kept his fingers moving but didn’t touch her clit for long minutes. When he finally touched her there, she nearly launched off the counter. He leaned over her, kept his fingers working, and touched his lips to hers. “Let go, Piper. Let me see you fly.”

He captured her cry when the orgasm consumed her and he kept his fingers moving to stretch it out as long as possible. When her eyes finally fluttered open, he slowed his pace and kissed her gently. “You’re stunning, Piper. I could watch you fly over that edge a million times.” He wanted to keep seeing her reactions for the rest of his life.

Troy hooked his foot around the nearest stool and pulled it around the island. He eased Piper’s jeans down her legs, kissing the skin as he exposed it.

Her panties went next, and Troy sat on the stool and set her legs on his shoulders, giving him the best view in the house. “You might want to hang on to something, Piper, because that was just the beginning.”

He lowered his head and prepared to see how high she could fly.

Piper was pretty sure her body had turned to jelly. Two screaming orgasms had made her lax, and even lifting her head seemed like too much work.

She’d never reacted to a man’s touch like she had with Troy. And it wasn’t only because the man was a master with his hands. And his tongue. Man, his tongue.

Just the thought had her body reacting again.

When she managed to open her eyes, Troy leaned above her, a satisfied grin on his face and desire gleaming from his eyes.

She grinned back. “Wow.”

He smiled. “You’re a wow for sure. You okay?”

That made her laugh. “Pretty sure you know that I’m feeling way better than okay. That was amazing.”

He kissed her hard and deep. She tasted herself on his tongue.

Piper wound her arms around his neck and pulled back from the kiss just far enough to whisper. “I hope we’re not finished yet.”

In a heartbeat, Troy scooped her up from the counter and held her cradled in his arms. He strode toward his bedroom and set her on the bed. It only took seconds for him to shuck the rest of his clothes, and she couldn’t tear her eyes away. Gorgeous. Every single inch of him.

“We’re definitely not finished yet.”

She reached for his erection as soon as he joined her on the mattress. He hissed out a breath and closed his eyes. “Holy hell, Piper. You’re going to end this in about two seconds if you keep your hands there.”

Power zipped through her, and she squeezed as she rubbed her hand up and down. “I think you can take it.”

His laugh sounded strangled. “Don’t be too sure of that. You’ve got me wound tighter than I’ve ever been. Not sure my control is going to last.”

He rolled them, leaving her on top as he stretched out for his nightstand. His hand couldn’t reach inside the drawer, so Piper leaned up on her knees to reach what he couldn’t.

Troy groaned, and she glanced down to see his gaze on her breasts. His hands and mouth replaced his eyes. Piper’s entire body trembled with the effects of his touch. With an effort, she ripped open the condom she’d grabbed.

She rolled it on him slowly, and Troy growled at her touch. His hands slid down her body until they rested on her hips. When the condom was on, he helped her lift and position his tip at her entrance.

Piper lowered herself bit by bit, Troy’s hands firm on her hips. They locked gazes until their bodies connected in the best possible way. For a long moment, she simply treasured the way he made her feel.

Complete.

She rolled her hips, and Troy growled again. “Damn, Piper. You’re going to kill me.”

She smiled and kept up the slow, tortuous movement. She’d never experienced a lover like Troy. Fun, giving, and impossibly thorough.

Soon, she was lost in the feelings and her body took over the rhythm. “So good.” The words whispered out of her.

She’d never had more than one orgasm during sex, but her body was spiraling close to a third. Troy reached between them with one hand and played with her clit so that she was flying and floating and skyrocketing all at the same time.

When she gained control over her senses again, she lay on her back, with Troy watching her with heat and what she could only describe as possessiveness. Their bodies were still locked, and he was moving slowly, drawing out her orgasm for her.

“There you are, Gorgeous.”

Then he was moving faster, thrusting harder, and her body tightened again.

When she flew over the edge, he shouted her name and flew with her.
