Chapter 16
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Buck had never been so hard in his life. It felt as if his dick was going to snap off inside his pants. He couldn’t believe Mandy had invited him to stay the night. It was a dream come true, and he couldn’t wait to get back inside her apartment and finally do all the things he’d fantasized about.
He had no idea what she and Laryn had talked about in the bathroom, and ultimately he didn’t care, as long as it didn’t result in Mandy pulling away. But apparently, whatever had been said resulted in the opposite. For which he was more than grateful.
He hadn’t lied when he’d texted her last night. His apartment felt extremely empty. And he hadn’t slept well at all. It was amazing how fast he’d gotten used to sleeping with her in his arms.
Looking down at Rain, who was taking his dear sweet time finding a place to piss, Buck thought about how fast he’d gotten to this point in his relationship with Mandy.
He hadn’t dated anyone in a long while. He’d had a couple of one-night stands in the last few years, but of course, they’d lacked any kind of connection, which made them awkward and unsatisfactory.
Being with Mandy was going to blow his mind. He knew that without a doubt. She’d gotten under his skin in the best way, and he couldn’t wait to show her how important she’d become to him in such a short time.
Finally, Rain did his business and immediately turned back to the door of the building. He really was a smart dog, and Buck was more than pleased things had worked out with him being able to come back to the States with Mandy.
He took the stairs at a jog and was back at her apartment in a flash. “You’re going to be good tonight, right?” he asked the dog before he opened the door. “Sleep on the floor and not horn in on my woman?”
Of course Rain didn’t answer, but the look of adoration on his furry face anytime he looked at Mandy didn’t bode well for Nash getting the bed—and Mandy—to himself.
He didn’t care if he had to share the bed with the dog, as long as it didn’t hinder his ability to show Mandy how much he appreciated her making the first move in asking him to stay the night.
“Mandy?” he called out, once he’d locked the door.
“I’m back here in my room. Last door on the left!” she shouted.
Buck’s cock throbbed in his jeans. Fuck, he wanted this woman.
His skin felt too tight and his clothes extremely irritating.
All he wanted was to strip naked and take Mandy fast and hard.
But he’d go at whatever speed she needed.
The last thing he wanted to do was freak her out.
Scare her with his intensity in the bedroom.
To his relief, Rain padded over to a pile of blankets in the corner of the living area and got to work scrunching them into whatever he deemed to be acceptable in order to sleep.
Buck quickly walked down the hall toward Mandy’s bedroom, not sure what to expect when he got there.
What he saw endeared her to him all the more.
She was standing next to the bed, looking uncertain and shy.
She had on a tank top and a pair of panties, and that was it.
Her hair was once more sticking up on one side, and she’d removed the makeup she’d put on for their date.
She looked much more like the woman he’d gotten to know in the jungle at that moment.
The only light came from the lamp on the small table next to her queen-size bed, so the room was dim but not dark, which was a relief, because Buck wanted to see her. All of her. Every remarkable inch.
She was slender, a little on the skinny side after their time in the rainforest, but he could fix that with some good nutritious, hearty meals.
Her tits were proportionate to her small frame, with the cutest damn nipples he’d ever seen.
How could nipples be cute? He had no idea, but hers were.
Her white panties allowed him to see that her pubic hair was trimmed but not shaved, which he actually preferred over the bare look.
His hands went to his shirt without thought, ripping it over his head and discarding it carelessly to the floor. He wanted to strip completely naked and tackle Mandy, but that would surely scare the crap out of her.
“How do you need me tonight?” he asked, barely recognizing his own lust-filled voice.
“I don’t understand the question,” she said, with a small tilt of her head.
“You want slow and romantic. Lots of kissing, caressing, tender words? You want to be in control? Do you want fast and hard? Me getting inside you as quickly as I can—after making sure you can take me without pain, of course—and fucking you until we both see stars? I want to make this good for you, Mandy, and until I know your preferences, what you like, I need you to talk to me. Tell me what you want from me.”
She licked her lips, making them shine, and all Buck could think about was how they’d look sucking his cock. He was dripping now, more than ready to be inside her. She was going to blow his mind, of that he had no doubt.
“I don’t know what I want, or how. All I know is that I want you more than air to breathe.
More than food in my belly. More than anything.
And I’ll take you however I can get you.
Slow and romantic, fast and hard. I’m not scared of you, Nash.
Of this. I’d like for you to take control this first time.
It’ll take the pressure off of me. Tell me what to do. What you want.”
Oh man, she had no idea what she’d just unleashed.
“If at any time you need to slow down, all you have to do is say the word. I’ll stop immediately.
If you simply want to cuddle like we did in the jungle, that’s good too.
I’m in this for the long haul, as I already told you.
We don’t have to do anything tonight other than reconnect, now that we’re safe and comfortable. ”
“I don’t want to just cuddle,” she said, sounding a little exasperated. “I want you to fuck me, Nash. I need you.”
“Take off your tank and underwear,” he ground out, feeling as if he was two seconds away from exploding.
She moved without hesitation, pulling the tight material up and over her head, then shoving the scrap of cotton hiding her sex from him down her legs. She stood there, looking a little nervous, but with her chin up. Like the sex goddess she was to him.
Buck moved quickly, toeing off his sneakers, shoving his own pants and boxers off, then reaching down to remove his socks. And then he was as naked as she was. They both took each other in, and Buck swore he was drooling.
Mandy was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. And not just her physical beauty. But because she’d asked for what she wanted. Because she was willing to put her trust in him. Because she obviously wanted him just as badly as he wanted her.
“Should I get on the bed?” she asked softly.
“No. Stay right there.”
Buck took a few steps forward until he was right in front of her, then he went to his knees. Looking up, he saw the confusion on her face, but as soon as he touched her, put his hands on her hips and eased them around to cup her ass, the confusion immediately morphed into desire.
“Nash,” she whispered.
Damn, he loved the way his name sounded on her lips. All breathy and needy.
He licked his lips, needing to taste her. To imprint her scent, her touch, her flavor on his very soul. “I’m going to devour you, Mandy. Turn you inside out, just as you’ve done to me. I’ve never met anyone like you and never will again. I’m not going to screw this up. I promise.”
“I know you aren’t,” she said, resting her hand on his head and staring down at him with such tenderness, such…dare he say it…love, that it made a shiver go from his head to his toes.
Then he was done talking.
Buck tightened his grip on her ass cheeks and pulled her forward at the same time he lowered his head. His tongue ran up her slit, parting her, ending at her clit, which he immediately latched onto and sucked. Hard.
She bucked in his grasp, a little squeak leaving her lips as the hand on his head tightened, and her other went to his shoulder to hold on.
He wanted to say, “That’s right, Rebel, hold on tight,” but his mouth was otherwise occupied.
She tasted divine, and he immediately felt drunk. Immediately needed more. Needed to make her come and drink from the source.
As he feasted on her pussy, Buck experimented.
Figuring out what turned her on the most. Every woman was different, and he loved learning what set his woman off.
He roughly shoved one leg to the side, widening her stance.
It put her a little off balance, and she used both hands to hold on to his shoulders now.
Her fingernails dug into his skin, and the slight pain turned him on even more.
Buck looked up as he used his tongue as a vibrator on her clit, and the sight of her lost in her own desire made his cock jerk.
Her nipples were hard as little rocks, and her upper chest was flushed a bright pink.
Her head was thrown back, and she was breathing in short, panting breaths as he brought her closer and closer to the edge.
But he needed her eyes on him. Needed her to see who was making her feel this way.
“Eyes on me,” he ordered gruffly.
She immediately complied, lowering her head and staring down at him.
Buck deliberately stuck his tongue out and licked her once more, loving how she shivered in reaction.
He moved one of his hands around so he could slowly insert his index finger inside her body as he concentrated on her clit.
She was tight but dripping wet, soaking his finger down to the knuckle as he fucked her slow and steady.
“Nash!” she moaned, as she began to writhe against his finger.
