Chapter 36 Donovan #2
“You can’t kill me, or let Maeve know I spilled the beans.”
“Okay,” I agreed, genuinely confused by this.
“Oof,” she shook her head, with a nervous laugh.
“It’s … it’s what we call you. You’re so proper.
Or always came across as so proper. Now I know you’re not always that way.
” Heat flashed on her face for a moment.
“It’s just … Ugh. I’m sorry. I mean, it rolls off the tongue nicely.
It was just something we all started calling you as a joke, and it stuck.
You can’t deny it sounds good, and you’re kind of like royalty, ya know? ”
“Not in the least. You’re the one with the last name King,” I countered. For a second, I got nervous they had looked at my past, and that’s why she was referring to me as royalty, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
“It’s not an insult. It just kind of happened with the girls one night.”
“So you’re telling me you’ve been discussing me?” Her face flushed red. “Any other nicknames you have for me?”
“No. Are you going to keep calling me Chaos?”
“Absolutely.” I reached out to pull her into me, and she came willingly. “So, are you coming into the cloud bed tonight?” I looked down at her. Even if I had to keep myself in check, I enjoyed having her closeness, warmth, and sweet scent next to me.
“Just a sleep?” she smiled up at me.
I took the opportunity to bend down and lightly graze her lips with mine. Mostly because I couldn’t stop myself. “Just a sleep, Chaos.” Keeping my lips right in front of hers, I could feel her breath.
“And maybe just a kiss,” she whispered. With that, she closed the millimeters between us and kissed me hard.
She sought entrance into my mouth, and I gladly opened up to dance in a rhythm that was equal parts question and promise.
God, there weren’t words to describe this, I was addicted.
She pulled away, and I didn’t miss how blown her pupils were.
I wasn’t sure when we were going to take the next step, but if kissing her felt like this, I couldn’t even imagine what being buried inside of this woman was going to feel like.
We had to be up at 4:45 a.m. to make it to the airfield by 6 a.m., so we needed to get some rest. But she was firing off rapid questions about New York, too excited to calm down.
When I finally shooed her to the bathroom to get ready, I checked a couple of work emails while I waited my turn.
The click of the door opening brought my eyes up, but when I saw her, I almost choked.
She had thin, tiny, sleep shorts on and some kind of tank top thing that did nothing to hide her amazing tits.
I shamelessly raked my eyes over every curve, and despite my pep talk, my mind wandered off track real fucking quick.
If I liked looking at her in my baggy clothes, this was a million times better.
Audra King was a work of art. I went into my closet, trying to will my erection away, and pulled my shirt off, leaving just my black athletic shorts on.
The moment I climbed into bed, she rolled toward me waiting for my arm to go around her, and, God, it was satisfying. We continued our conversion about New York for a bit, and as we quietly chatted, I stroked her hair and her back mindlessly.
“Donovan, can I ask you about something that’s been bugging me?” My hand stopped at the abrupt question. “The other day, when we were at my house after the brick incident, you said you were sorry for causing this. What did you mean?”
“You said that you’ve dated and hooked up with other people, and there was nothing from him. But as soon as we started talking, he seemed to have snapped. I guess I’m feeling guilty that I’m the one to bring this on,” I admitted.
“You can’t know that. And the way I see it, he may have been barreling towards this for a while. I’m most grateful that you’ve been able to help me when I’ve needed it. Honestly, I’m scared that things are going to backfire for you.”
“Eh, don’t worry about me, Chaos. I can handle myself.” Because I dared that fucking guy to try anything.
She threw her leg over mine, and draped her arm across my chest. “I truly appreciate everything you’ve done for me, Donovan. And I am so excited to get on that plane tomorrow.”
Yawning again, she brought her head right next to mine.
“Goodnight, Sir Donovan.” Her quiet laugh danced in the air as she gave me a chaste kiss.
But that wasn’t going to work for me. My hand slipped behind her head, stopping her from pulling away because, these days, my expectations for her kisses were much higher than a quick peck.
“Goodnight, Audra King.” I spoke against her lips and pulled her back to me for a not-so-ginger kiss. Our mouths danced together before she pulled away. Her eyes met mine, and she traced my jaw with her finger.
“God, Donovan, do you know how gorgeous you are?”
“You are the beautiful one, Chaos. Stunningly gorgeous, in fact,” I said, as I grabbed the hand that had been tracing my face, kissed her fingers, then put them on my chest. Even though I had been surrounded by beautiful women my entire life, Audra’s natural beauty surpassed anyone I’d ever known.
A couple of minutes passed, but I didn’t hear her breathing even out like she was falling asleep. It became choppy, and I even felt her holding her breath a few times, almost as if she was building up the courage to say something.
“Audra, are you okay?” I finally asked.
“No, I’m not.”
“What’s wrong?” I asked, concerned about what could have happened.
“I want you, Donovan.”
The record skipped. Well, that’s not what I expected to come out of her mouth. “I’ve wanted you for weeks and can’t fight myself anymore. Right now, I want you so fucking badly I might die if you reject me again.”
I froze because I knew the feeling. I’d never wanted anyone, or anything, as much as I wanted the woman in my arms. But it didn’t change the fact that she had something holding her back. And whatever that was should be addressed and worked through…
Before I could finish my thought, she had pulled herself up so she was next to my face again, her lips inches away from mine.
Staring into her eyes, I saw desperation, vulnerability, and desire, and at that moment, I knew I was going to give her whatever she wanted.
Not only did I not want to reject her again, I didn’t think I’d be able to.
“I … God, Audra. You have to be sure. I don’t want you running after this. Promise me you won’t run?”
She kissed me deeply and pulled away far enough where I could still feel the whisper of her breath on my lips. I was prepared for her to say something deep and emotional—maybe expand on why she’s been fighting herself on this thing between us.
“No. I can’t promise that, Donovan. I have to make sure you’re good in bed before I make those kinds of promises,” she stated, without a hint of levity in her voice.
Out of all the things that could have come out of her mouth.
I let out a hearty laugh because who says that in the middle of the moment we were having?
She joined me, and I swatted her ass, which was, conveniently, right by my hand.
Then, I grabbed the perfectly round globe, noting how the curve of that thing should be illegal.
She took that as her invitation and jumped on top to straddle me again, like she had the other night.
Settling right on my already hard dick, she crashed onto my lips like I was everything she’d ever needed, and immediately started chasing her pleasure, gliding her most private part up and down the ridge in my shorts.
I couldn’t help the sound that escaped my throat.
Fuck, that felt good. And damnit, I was ready to feel good.
I’d been walking around with a hard-on for weeks.
Not wanting to blow in my shorts, I flipped her almost immediately to get control of the situation.
Propping up on my elbows, I gave her one final out because I was done fighting the inevitability. “Audra, you’re sure?”
“Are you not?” she countered.
“Oh, I’ve never been more sure of anything in my fucking life.”
“Then show me,” she breathed.
Every restraint went up in smoke, and desire detonated between us; hot, immediate, and unstoppable.
We absolutely devoured each other. Grabbing the hem of her tiny tank top, I peeled it over her head and was rewarded with the most glorious set of tits I’d ever seen; the ones I’d been daydreaming about.
My hand went up immediately to touch what had been forbidden.
Finding her nipples already pebbled up, I decided just touching wouldn’t suffice.
Not when I’d waited so long. Instead, I traveled down her body so I could run my tongue over the hard peak.
She let out a tiny gasp that made me want to find a hundred other ways to hear that sound.
After paying the same amount of attention to the other, I sat up with my knees on either side of her waist. On the whole, I enjoyed a level of dominance in the bedroom, so her, looking sexy as fuck pinned between my legs, at my mercy as to what happened next?
It did something to me. As if I needed to be any more turned on.
Reaching behind, I ran my fingers over her tiny sleep shorts and found she had soaked right through them.
She must not have even had underwear on. I was almost speechless.
“Audra, you are so wet right now.”
“I told you I wanted you.”
