Sophie
I whirled to see him standing there, half-veiled in the darkness of the door frame. He slowly strode forward, removing his hat and carefully placing it on a table without taking his eyes off me.
Is this happening? I wondered, excitement and adrenaline flooding my body.
“You were great up there,” I said.
“I was good, at best,” he replied.
“You were confident.”
That easy smile touched his mouth. “ You made me confident. I just pretended nobody else was in the room except you.”
“It felt like that to me too,” I breathed.
I leaned back against the boxes of pint glasses and unbuttoned my top a little bit more as he strolled closer, like he wasn’t in any hurry. His eyes flicked down to my cleavage, and his smile deepened.
“I wanted you to take me home last night,” I said. “What if I’m not in the mood tonight?”
Eli stepped into my space, his thigh brushing against mine. He planted a hand on the wall behind me and leaned close enough to kiss, but just like last night, his lips stopped just short of touching mine.
“I don’t believe you,” he whispered, breath mingling with mine.
He held there for one heartbeat longer. Two heartbeats.
Then his lips collided against mine, banishing all thought. He pushed between my legs, leaning into the kiss, and my body came alive beneath his touch.
Fuck yes .
A sudden flare of heat raced down my spine as he immediately deepened the kiss. I had been fantasizing about Eli, but no dream could compare to the way this felt. The lash of his tongue, the scrape of his teeth, as he cupped the side of my face and held me against him like I was the first prize trophy in the rodeo that he had been coveting all this time.
My hands wrapped around his body automatically, because I would have rather died than not touch him in that moment. Exploring the curve of his shoulders and the taut muscles in his broad back, covered by his leather vest. His hands responded by diving down to the waistband of my denim shorts, claiming what was inside like a man who was possessed.
I arched my head back and moaned loudly as his fingertips enveloped my clit, setting my body on fire with unrestrained lust.
I broke our kiss long enough to gasp, “How did you know?”
Eli’s brow rose. “Know what?”
“Satellite Mind. It’s my favorite song.”
His fingers pressed harder against my clit, causing me to shudder with sharp pleasure. “I kind of stalked your Facebook page,” he admitted. “You posted the lyrics a while back. Hope you’re not creeped out, because—”
I wrapped my hand around the back of his neck and cut him off with a kiss.
“Does that mean you’re not creeped out?” he asked.
I gave him my most seductive look and demanded, “Shut up and fuck me.”
He smirked. “You got it, darlin’.”
Eli pulled my shorts down at the same time as I unzipped his jeans. When my fingers dove inside, they didn’t find another layer of fabric; I immediately discovered the hot, hard skin of his stiff cock.
“No underwear?” I asked.
He took hold of his cock from my fingers and slid on a condom. “Never liked them. Always get in the way.”
Eli dropped his gaze down between my legs as he slid his tip between my legs, coating himself in my natural moisture. When he looked up again, his eyes held an intensity that destroyed me before he even moved. Need raced through my body, scouring my nerves with barely-restrained lust. As his eyes studied mine for a moment, delaying what I wanted, I fucking melted .
And when he did lean in, putting his body weight behind his cock as he slowly filled me, I clenched my eyes shut and let out a cry of ecstasy until my lungs were empty.
“Shh,” he purred, kissing me again. “The music’s loud out there, but if you keep makin’ noise like that? Someone’ll hear.”
God, his words paired with that accent turned me on more than I could believe. I speared my fingers into his hair and kissed his ear, sliding my tongue inside for a moment before another moan escaped my throat. Eli responded with a deep noise of his own pleasure, then moved his lips to the sensitive spot on the side of my neck like he had a map of my body showing exactly what I liked.
He was moving his hips then, sliding in and out of me with just the right amount of pressure. “Ohh yes,” I groaned. “Just like that.”
A corner of his mouth twitched against my neck in a smirk. “I knew you’d feel good, darlin’. But I never thought it’d be this good.”
His words sang in my ears even more than the songs he had played on stage, and I used my grip in his hair to pull his lips up to mine. His tongue lashed out at the same time as mine, joining together in a swirl of wet desire before pushing further, forcing its way into my mouth, conquering and claiming.
“Sophie,” he groaned, hips moving faster.
Sexual energy hummed between us, coiling tightly in my chest. I knew the release would be powerful, and wondered if I could keep my voice down when it did. But as his thick length filled me, stretching my inner walls, I couldn’t bring myself to care about anything other than the amazing way he felt.
“I wanted this last night,” I moaned.
He pressed his forehead against mine while pumping faster. “Hope it’s worth the wait.”
I tightened my fingers in his hair and gritted out my words in time with each eager thrust. “That. Remains. To. Be. Seen .”
Even without his fingers on my clit, I could feel my climax building in strength, the coil tightening further. If he did touch me, I would fall to pieces for him. But I didn’t want him to change what he was doing, because his lips and palms and the curve of his bicep felt so damn good that I didn’t dare risk him stopping, not even for a moment.
Eli devoured me with his kisses, swallowing the sounds I was making as he quickened his pace, threatening to shatter me to pieces. The warmth spread within my body, bright and brilliant, as I neared the edge.
The music outside abruptly increased in volume. I opened my eyes and saw the door opening across the room, and one of the other bartenders stepped inside.
“Oh!” Zara exclaimed when she saw us.
Eli stopped moving inside me, and twisted to look over his shoulder. “Give us a minute, darlin’? We’re kind of in the middle of somethin’.”
Zara’s face spread with a grin, then she quickly retreated, the music dimming as the door closed.
“I don’t like hearing you call other women darlin’,” I teased.
He smirked. “Then that’s the last time I’ll ever do it. Is she gonna be a problem for us?”
I shook my head. “She won’t tell anyone. You’d better lock the door in case someone else walks in, though.”
I expected him to walk across the room to lock the door, but instead he commanded, “Hold on tight.” Then he lifted me off the box of glasses. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck as he walked us across the room to the door.
“You didn’t need to bring me along for the ride,” I said while nuzzling at his tan neck.
“See, that’s where you’re wrong,” he crooned at me. “Because there’s no way in a Texas hell I could pull out of you. Not even for a few seconds.”
The deadbolt slammed into place with an emphatic sound.
“Now,” he said. “Where were we?”
Rather than return to the boxes, he placed me on the edge of a table, kicking one of the chairs out of the way to give him room to maneuver. He bottomed out inside of me again, leaning in for another tongue-flicking kiss, then pulled back to smile at me.
And finally his hand slid down between my legs.
I tilted my head back and let out a cry of uninhibited bliss as he resumed his sultry work. My cries must have driven him on, because soon his movements became wild and unhinged, rocking the table as he slammed into me. The coil of pleasure inside me wrapped tighter and tighter until it was a ball of pure energy, vibrating with instability like a bomb that was going to explode.
There on the precipice of coming undone, I gazed into Eli’s brown eyes and saw my emotions mirrored back at me. Everything in the world disappeared around us; all I could feel was the wonderful way he was pistoning into me, hard and so damn deep , both of us lost in each other as we savored every breathless, greedy thrust.
I fell to pieces, mouth falling open in a silent scream of ecstasy. Eli’s eyes widened as he drank in the sight of my undoing, fingers taking possession of my clit as every atom in my body was destroyed and then came back together again in the dark room.
