While We Waited (Smuggler’s Hideaway #3)

Chapter 5

Gameday – When Hudson gives up his control and gets back on the field

Hudson

I pick Nova up and carry her bridal style toward the bedroom. Her lips are swollen from my kisses and her exotic eyes are wide with wonder. She’s more beautiful than ever. I could stare at her for days.

My cock presses against my zipper to remind me it wants more than to merely gaze into Nova’s eyes. It wants to sink into her warmth until we’re both spent. My blood heats as I imagine how good she’ll feel.

I enter the bedroom. Thankfully, the room is already furnished with a bed. Since this is the only time I’m going to allow myself to have Nova, I want a bed to move around in. I want her comfortable when she begs me to let her come.

I lay her on the bed and come down on top of her. I brush the hair off of her face.

“Is this okay?”

She beams at me. “More than okay.”

Her smile warms me, but it may vanish once I make things clear. I don’t want any misunderstandings between us.

“This is only sex. Nothing more.” No matter how much I want it to be more, it can’t be. Nova is too good for the likes of me.

She rolls her eyes. “I get it. You don’t want anything from me but sex.”

If she knew what I truly desire from her, she’d go running for the ocean. Locked doors be damned. No one wants a grump to bring them down.

“And you’re okay with this?” I need to be sure. I don’t want to hurt her. I never want to hurt Nova.

“Am I in this bed with you?” When I don’t answer, she pokes my chest. “Answer the question.”

“Sorry. I thought it was rhetorical.”

“It wasn’t. Am I in this bed with you?”

“Yes, you are.”

“Then, I’m okay with this.”

Relief mixed with a hint of disappointment rolls through me. She gets it. She’s not one of those football groupies who’ll make sex out to be more. Although, maybe if I pushed a bit, I could—

I shut those thoughts down. This is sex and nothing more.

Nova wiggles beneath me. “Are you going to stare at me all day or are you going to rock my world?”

I palm her neck and squeeze. “You want me to rock your world?”

“If you’re up for the task.”

“Oh, Sunshine, I’m up for the task.”

She opens her mouth to respond but discussion time is over. I meld my lips to hers. I need more and press my tongue against her lips. She opens for me and I thrust my tongue inside. Her taste hits me and I groan before using my hold on her neck to tilt her head to my liking.

I plunder her mouth in a bid to taste every single inch. I need to memorize everything about her, everything about her little moans and gasps. This is my one chance to learn all there is about Nova and I’m not squandering it.

Her hands roam over my back. Her caresses have me dangerously close to coming in my jeans. Not acceptable.

With more control than I thought I had, I wrench my mouth from hers.

“No touching,” I growl.

“But touching is the best part.” She sticks out her bottom lip in a pout.

I nip her lip in punishment. “No touching.”

She wraps her legs around my waist. “Is this touching?”

I grunt since I can’t seem to form words any longer.

“What about this?” She rubs her core against my cock and I lose all control.

I get to my knees and unwind her legs from my waist before pinning them to the bed. Her dress is bunched up and her creamy thighs are on display. I glide my hands up and down her legs. My big hands look clumsy against her skin.

“I like this touching,” she breathes out.

“How about this?”

I push her dress up further to reveal her panties. They’re pink and have little hearts on them. I knew they’d be cute. Everything about this woman is absolutely adorable. Her panties are no exception.

I draw one finger down the gusset of her panties. I smirk when I feel the wet spot there. She wants me. Me, the grumpy man who hasn’t been very nice to her since I returned to town three years ago.

“I want to taste you.”

She shivers. “I’m not stopping you.”

I draw her panties down her legs and throw them behind me. And now she’s bare to me. Except for her dress hitched high beneath her breasts. But I don’t have time to worry about her dress now.

I settle my shoulders between her thighs. I pull her lips apart and drag my nose along her slit as I inhale her scent. She smells of wildflowers. Appropriate, since she drives me fucking wild.

I circle her clit with my tongue and her hands thread through my hair.

I want to drive her wild. The way she drives me wild. I want her screaming my name as she comes all over my tongue.

I circle her clit again and she moans as she lifts up to shove her core into my face. It’s a good start.

I continue to play with her clit until her nails are digging into my head. Once she’s moaning and writhing beneath me, I thrust my tongue into her pussy.

Her thighs press against my ears as she moans, “Yes. Yes. Yes.”

I pump my tongue in and out of her and her walls tighten around me. I’ve barely begun to taste her and she’s already on the brink. I fucking love how responsive she is to me.

I pinch her clit while I sink my tongue into her and she explodes. “Holy mermaids!”

I lap up her juices until she collapses on the bed. I get to my knees.

Nova is a sight to behold. Her blush travels from her cheeks down her chest. Her brow is sweaty and her hair is sticking to it. What I wouldn’t give to see her this way more often. I shove those thoughts away.

I have the object of my desires in bed with me. This is no time to get melancholy.

“The next time you come, you say my name.”

Her eyes flip open. “Next time? You think you can make me come again?”

I growl. “I know I can.”

She giggles. “Goodie.”

I nearly chuckle. The emotion surprises me. Amusement is not an emotion I’ve experienced very often since coming back home.

“Raise your arms.”

She doesn’t hesitate to follow my orders. She’s fucking perfect. For tonight, I remind myself. This is only for tonight.

I grasp the hem of her dress to pull it up and off of her revealing her naked body to me.

“You weren’t wearing a bra?”

“No need. The dress has a built-in bra.” She gathers her breasts in her hands. “Something wrong with me not wearing a bra?”

I bat her hands out of the way. I want to be the one touching her skin, kneading her breasts.

I glide a finger around her nipple. She moans and her eyes fall shut.

I knead and massage her breasts until she arches her back and thrusts her chest at me. Time to taste. I lick and nibble at her skin before taking her nipple into my mouth.

She wraps her legs around my waist and begins rubbing herself up and down my hard cock. Her hands clench the sheets as she writhes beneath me.

I sneak a hand between our bodies to find her clit. I rub circles around it until Nova is panting. Only then do I plunge two fingers into her pussy. Her walls immediately clench around my fingers.

“Yes!”

I pause my thrusts. “What do you say when you come?”

Her eyes fly open. “Don’t stop. I’m there.”

“What do you say?” I growl.

“Hudson.”

I reward her with another thrust.

“Hudson!” she screams as she climaxes.

I continue to pump in and out of her until her orgasm wanes.

“That’s two.”

Her eyes fly open. “You’re counting.”

I grunt.

“Does this mean we’re not finished?”

In response, I stand and rip my shirt off before pushing my jeans down my legs and kicking them off. “Not finished.”

I climb onto the bed and settle between Nova’s thighs. I notch my cock at her entrance and—

“Fuck.”

“What’s wrong?”

“No condom.”

I inch away from her but she circles my waist with her legs to stop me. “I have an IUD.”

If anyone other than Nova said those words, I’d call bullshit and walk away. But this is Nova. My sunshine would never lie to me.

“I’m safe.”

She smiles at me and my heart skips a beat. I wish I was worthy of her smile. “I trust you. And I’m safe, too. It’s been a long time since I’ve…” She motions between us. “You know.”

“Fucked a man.”

She blushes. She’s naked and come twice for me already but the use of the word fuck has her blushing. It’s adorable.

I hitch my cock at her entrance again. “You sure?”

“I’m sure.”

I sink into her warmth and her walls cling to me. I have to grit my teeth to stop myself from coming before I’m fully seated.

I won’t come before she does. I’ll rock her world and give her a night to remember.

And then I’ll walk away.

Because Nova is not the woman meant for me. I’m undeserving of her sunshine.
