Chapter 13
Chapter Thirteen
I n the bedroom, Damon’s hungry eyes ate her up as he peeled away her white bra and cobalt panties. She wished she had worn matching lingerie, but he clearly didn’t mind.
He was disgustingly fine, his whole body covered in muscles and tattoos etched into his silky skin. And his package… Audra’s eyes widened when her gaze swept the length of his thick thrusting shaft in the middle of his hips.
They tumbled onto the bed, but she pressed a hand to his chest to look into his eyes. “This is going to sound crazy, but I don’t have a lot of experience. I’ve only been with Keri’s father.”
His eyebrows lifted in surprise, and then his expression changed from bewilderment to gentleness. “We don’t have to rush. If you want to wait…”
“No, I want to,” Audra said hastily. “I-I don’t want you to be disappointed because I’m not like the women you’re used to.”
“You could never be a disappointment, and I’ll teach you everything you need to know,” Damon said with a smirk.
Lowering his head, he kissed her with passion and gently bit her lower lip. Then he soothed her by tugging the nipped flesh into his mouth. Pushing her legs apart, he ground his pelvis into hers, and she whispered her pleasure, clenching her fingers into his tattooed biceps and sliding the back of her foot along his hair-rough thighs.
She surrendered to him, arching her aching pelvis against his and pulling him hard against her so her breasts were crushed beneath the solid plane of his chest. The months of waiting and longing had worked her into a frenzy of need.
When his lips traveled down the length of her throat, she sighed and whispered, “I want you so much. Do whatever you want, Damon.”
She meant every word. She needed him in a way she had never needed anyone else.
Damon feasted his eyes on her naked body, his thumb flicking across her full lips. He looked down at her with lust-drunk eyes. “You’re so damn sexy—and so much more beautiful than I ever imagined,” he said in a strained whisper.
He cupped her breast and stroked until the nipple hardened. He squeezed and fondled both breasts before latching his lips around her nipples and sucking until she sank her fingernails into his shoulders.
Peppering her skin with rough kisses, he used his tongue and teeth to tease and torture as he moved lower. He kneaded her curves, dragging his fingers over her heated skin until he reached between her thighs where she ached for him the most.
With his head bowed over her hips, he explored her wetness, using firm sweeps of his moist tongue. She gasped and writhed helplessly in the sheets, clamping down on his head as she scraped her fingers along his scalp.
Their lovemaking was sometimes gentle and sometimes rough as they explored each other’s bodies with dizzying thoroughness. Audra slid over Damon, kissing his dark muscles, licking his skin, and smoothing her palms along his tattooed biceps. She kissed the sweep of his broad back and rubbed her mound against his firm ass like a cat in heat, marveling at his exquisite beauty and the masculine texture of his powerful physique.
Taking control again, he pushed her onto her back, and she let out an excited squeal.
“This right here,” he said, grabbing a handful of her ass. “All this is gone be mine before the night’s done. Every fucking last hole on this sexy body of yours.”
She shivered with excitement and a little bit of dread but was determined to take whatever he dished out.
When he was sheathed in protection, excitement sparked in her blood, and she lifted her trembling thighs around his hips. She welcomed the crush of his body with open arms and parted her lips for another one of his demanding kisses.
The fingers of one hand fisted in her hair as she moaned, licking his earlobe and undulating her hips against his. Desire surged through her like a bursting dam.
“Now. I don’t want to wait any longer,” she panted.
He plunged into her, and her back bowed to meet him, taking him in as she lifted her body and allowed him to sink all the way to the hilt.
He commanded the pace, and she bucked beneath him, her arms clamped him, her teeth alternating between biting his strong neck and sinking into the muscles of his shoulder.
The scent of his skin was like heaven. The soft brush of his lips divine. But it wasn’t enough. She wanted him closer. She wanted him deeper. So far inside her that she couldn’t tell where she ended and he began.
From his groaning and panting, she knew he was with her all the way. They rocked back and forth on the soft mattress, the frenzied sounds of their lovemaking filling the room.
In one agonizing rush, a vicious orgasm ripped through Audra, and her body bucked uncontrollably as she clawed at him like a woman about to lose her mind.
Seconds later, she felt him swell inside her, and his release was equally as powerful. Their rough cries filled the room, his voice low and heavy with the sound of agonized pleasure spilling from his lips, his fingers digging into her fleshy buttocks as he ejaculated his release.
His arms collapsed, but he immediately rolled onto his back and dragged her on top of him. Audra relaxed, catching her breath and allowing her rapid heart rate to slowly return to normal.
Audra slipped from Damon’s arms, and he looked at her through half-closed eyes.
“Are you leaving?” His voice was soft but deepened by sleep.
“I’m staying. I’m going to the bathroom,” Audra whispered.
“Hurry back,” he mumbled, fluffing the pillow before settling back down.
She smiled to herself. She could be a bit clingy, so it was nice to be needed and desired. His Hurry back confirmed he enjoyed cuddling and being close to her as much as she enjoyed cuddling and being close to him.
Audra took her phone into the bathroom to call her mother and let her know she wouldn’t be coming home. She turned on the light and squinted against the sudden glare. Checking the mirror, she was startled to see her appearance—tousled hair, swollen lips, and sex-drunk eyes.
“You look a mess, girl,” she whispered, giggling.
She was still amazed that this was the first time she and Damon had made love. They’d taken their time and gotten to know each other, and now… now she was on cloud nine and as giddy as a toddler with a fistful of candy.
That’s what being with a good man did to you. This was happiness. This was a healthy relationship. She wasn’t the only one making the effort. Damon was too.
She dialed and waited for her mother to pick up.
“Hello?”
“Hi, Mom. I… I won’t be home tonight.” She winced as she waited for the response.
“Okay.” Rose drew the word out into two long syllables. “You’re with Damon, I take it?”
“Yes.”
Silence.
Leaning her back against the wall, Audra waited with a tight belly for the words that would dull her excitement. She hadn’t exactly been a model daughter in the past. She’d had moments of rebellion and poor decision-making, including a run-in with the law once that had left her parents furious. To this day, she was surprised they didn’t kill her.
They hadn’t approved of Kerry, and when she ended up pregnant, their disappointment had been palpable. She knew, however, that they were the only people who came close to loving Kerilyn as much as she did.
“That’s not a problem, I can watch her. She can keep me company while your father is out of town.”
“Thanks, Mom.”
“You’re welcome, honey.” Pause. “Be careful.”
She added the warning in a lowered voice, as if she didn’t really want to say it but couldn’t stop herself.
Be careful.
Of what? Falling in love? Getting hurt? Making another mistake?
Audra wasn’t worried. She’d had her doubts in the beginning, but Damon was right—he was different. Nothing like her ex.
“He’s different, Mom. One day, I’ll bring him over so you can meet him.”
“We’d all love to meet him,” her mother said.
“I’ll plan for it one day, when he’s not so busy. Can I speak to Keri for a sec?”
When Kerilyn came on the line, Audra explained to her daughter that she was going to stay out all night. Her daughter had a lot of questions, to which she explained that she was at a sleepover with a friend—the way Kerilyn sometimes had sleepovers with her cousins.
She blew her a kiss, and then Kerilyn returned the phone to Rose.
“Thanks for keeping her for me,” Audra said.
“Not a problem. See you tomorrow.”
Audra turned off the light and returned to the bedroom. She slipped under the covers, backed up to Damon, and pulled his arm across her waist.
She couldn’t tell if he had woken up or not, but his arm tightened around her. They had taken a big step tonight. Soon—very soon—she would invite him to meet her family.
