32. Caleb
Chapter thirty-two
I force Lex’s lips back to mine, kissing her in a way I’ve been craving. Holding her in my arms, tight and unwavering, like the possession I feel in my soul.
“Do you mean that?” I ask, desperate to make this real. “No more friend shit. You’ll be mine?”
She chuckles and rests her forehead against mine. My heart beats with the kind of peace I don’t remember ever feeling before.
“I’ll be yours, if you’ll be mine,” she whispers.
“I’ve been yours from the start.”
Her grey eyes bore into mine holding all her vulnerability.
“Don’t break me, okay?” she says.
I hold my hand against her cheek and brush my thumbs against her lips.
“I promise.” I seal the words against her mouth with my own, breathing her in as we fall into the kiss. My tongue traces her lips, begging for entry, which she grants without hesitation.
We fight for dominance, both just as hungry for the other as sweet kisses turn frantic. And soon, it’s not enough.
“I need to do it right this time,” I breathe against her lips.
“What do you mean?”
“I want all night with you. Multiple times. I want to sleep just long enough to replenish my energy so I can go again and again. I want to hold you in my arms until morning, and then maybe I can convince myself it’s not a dream.”
“Okay,” she says, making me chuckle and nip at her skin.
“Well, it wasn’t hard to convince you.”
She stops and takes a breath. “Maybe I need to be convinced this isn’t a dream as well.”
I keep an arm locked around her back while I bend down to grab my shoes, then walk us to the path that leads back to her house.
“You can put me down, you know.”
“No, thank you.”
She giggles, and it makes my heart skip a beat. “Well, can you please get my shoes as well? They’re just at the end of the path.”
I spot them a few steps ahead, where the sand turns into stone.
I shrug her up against my body so I can readjust my hold on her, then lower down to pick up her sneakers.
My arms crisscross behind her back, a pair of shoes in each hand, while her arms and legs lock around me and I walk us back to her house.
The giddiness that fills me has me feeling like I’m floating.
Nothing in life has ever had an effect like this on me.
I remember securing my first investment, and the moment Grandpa announced me as the new CEO of Heart Assets.
Those were satisfying achievements in life, and I remember thinking nothing could feel better.
But fuck, holding Lex in my arms, calling her mine, I can’t remember ever feeling this happy.
For a man as blessed in life as I am, it only makes me hold her even tighter.
“You might need to put me down now so I can let us inside,” she says as I walk up her front porch steps.
I put our shoes on one of the rocking chairs, then pick up her handbag, bringing it between us so she can search for her keys.
“Putting you down is non-negotiable, Siren.”
She shakes her head but still smiles as she digs through her bag and pulls out her keys. I take them from her hands so I can unlock the door and quietly let us inside .
“Is Claire home?” I whisper as I amble down the hallway towards her bedroom.
“Lee’s truck wasn’t out front, and she barely spends a night without him. Or maybe it’s him who refuses to spend a night without her.”
“Sounds like a smart man,” I say.
Her seashell lights are on again, illuminating the room. My body tingles, knowing I’m finally about to have her all to myself in a way I’ve barely been able to stop thinking about.
I turn to close the door and push her up against it, wedging her body in with mine. I kiss her hard with the desperation that’s consumed me since we first met.
My hands tighten against her flesh where they rest on her waist, and I’m insatiable. I need to have her naked skin against mine once again. I didn’t get to savour the feel of her the first time, her smooth.
I pin her harder against the door with my hips so I can pull her shirt over her head. My cock is rock hard and already wanting to release again, to sink into her.
I pull away from her lips so I can finish removing her top and then toss it aside. Lex’s hands frame my face, pulling my lips back to hers.
“Wait,” she says, almost out of breath. “I just spent ten hours on my feet in a hot nightclub, I need to shower first.”
I groan and fall against her lips. “I’ll let you shower, but only if I can join you.”
“You want to shower with me?” She laughs.
“Is that a trick question? Your body, wet and naked, please don’t deprive me of that.”
My hands roam up and down her torso, following the curve of her hips and waist. I lose my mind for a moment when I take in the sight of her breasts encased in black lace.
It’s just sheer enough that I can make out her nipples, begging to be tasted.
I dip down and gently wrap my teeth around her through the lace.
She sighs and drags her hands through my hair, holding me to her chest. A shiver dances up my spine as her fingers scratch against the back of my head.
I run a hand behind Lex’s back and find the clasp of her bra to unhook it. She lets me drag the straps down her arms, and the second she’s exposed to me, I lean back in, taking one hard, peaked nipple into my mouth.
Lex moans, her head thrown back against the door, and her hips start grinding against me. My mouth alternates between biting her skin and tracing it with my tongue, while I palm her other breast.
Her sounds become more desperate. I push away from the door and walk us to her bathroom, blindly searching for the light switch.
“Caleb.” My name is a wild and urgent prayer as it falls from her lips.
“I know, baby. I’m gonna make you feel better.”
I open the shower door and turn on the tap to let the water heat up. Lex pulls at my tie and rips it over my head, then yanks on my shirt buttons. I hold her against the wall and help her remove my shirt, all while she continues to grind her pussy against me.
I bend down slightly so I can rest her against my thighs and reach between us to unzip my pants.
My lips suck on her nipples again before tracing a path up her neck while I push the fabric down, leaving only my briefs and her shorts to separate me from her beautiful pussy.
My hands land on her hips, guiding her to grind against my dick, earning a gasp.
I work my hips against hers, attempting to focus on my breathing so I don’t blow. I need to come inside her. I’ve been denied for so long. Denied of the only place my cock wants to exist.
Lex’s hands follow a path from my biceps to my shoulders and neck, then back down again while she continues to sigh and pant.
“Oh, God.”
“Let go, Lex. This is not a one-and-done night. I’ll be having you come so much you’ll be begging for mercy before I’m through.”
I snap my hips faster against her and kiss back down her throat, sucking at the skin where her neck meets her shoulder. With her legs locked tight, her whole body shudders against me as she cries out her release.
I lick at her now bruised skin before laying a soft kiss there. More of my kisses decorate her throat and under her jaw before I reach her mouth.
“That’s my girl.”
I reluctantly put her down so I can remove her shorts and panties. When I’m on my knees, helping guide her feet out of her clothes, I’m met with the sight of her swollen, pink pussy, and I’m dying to have the taste of her on my tongue.
“Jesus, baby. Look at this sweet pussy.” I kiss her hip, my eyes rolling to the back of my head at the faint scent of coconut that lingers there. “And it’s all mine.”
She reaches down for my hands, pulling me back up. With her bottom lip pinned beneath her teeth, she pushes my briefs down so we’re both standing naked. She leads me to her shower, turning the taps and testing the water before stepping in, dragging me behind her.
When she turns to face me again, I’m met with a smile that’s everything soft and sweet. She wraps her arms around my neck and holds her body against mine.
I’m painfully aware that my bare cock is resting against the slippery, naked skin of her stomach. I groan and press my nose against her neck.
“Fuck, I’m dying to be inside you. But it’s been so long, and I need you spread out on the bed so I can fuck you properly. ”
She chuckles. “When I told you I needed to shower, I actually meant the usual things people do in the shower. You were the one who wanted to tag along.”
“As if it was remotely possible to resist you. Where you go, I go.”
She smiles and drops a quick kiss against my lips. “Could you hand me my loofah, please?”
I look to my right and see a cream sponge hanging off the bottom tap. I unhook it and look over the bottles lined up in the shower caddy.
Coconut shampoo. Coconut conditioner. Coconut and pineapple body wash. No wonder I was going out of my mind.
I pick up the body wash and squeeze it onto the loofah. “I’m surprised just the smell of coconut doesn’t get me hard these days,” I say as I hold my finger in the air, making a circle motion to get her to turn around so I can start washing her back.
She complies easily, then pulls her red hair from its ponytail, only to twist it back up and retie it in a bun on top of her head.
I kiss the back of her neck, then continue working the sponge all over her.
Once I’m done with the back, I pull her against my chest and look over her shoulder, washing over her chest and torso.
I use the sponge to soap her up, then let my free hand continue to glide over her skin, slipping through the bubbles.
I pinch at her nipples, and Lex drops her head against my shoulder. Her arms come up to clutch behind my neck, and she sighs as the loofah makes its way between her legs. Slowly, I drag it back and forth along her pussy before I drop the sponge all together and let my hand finish her off.
She parts her legs further as my fingers rub the soap along the inside of her thigh, over her clit and down her other leg. I repeat the motion, lingering longer on her clit each time, while my other hand keeps rolling her nipples between my fingers.
I gently coax her under the water, washing away the bubbles before I sink my middle finger into her pussy .
The moan Lex emits is deep and full of wonder. Keeping my pace steady, I work my finger in and out of her, the heel of my palm pressing against her clit as I go. Her wet pussy clamps around my finger. I drag it all the way out and then add another, thrusting deep.
She whimpers, almost choking on the desire as it catches her off guard. Her hand wraps around mine and moves in sync with me.
“Are you gonna come again for me, Siren?” I kiss the side of her neck, slowly increasing my pace.
She clamps around me, panting as her breath saws in and out. I let go of her nipple to slide my palm around her ribs, holding her locked against my chest.
“I want to feel you come on my fingers. Then my tongue, and then my cock,” I whisper, coaxing another orgasm out of her.
I increase my speed once more, before removing my fingers to rub swift circles around her clit, and then I sink three fingers inside her.
“Caleb,” she moans.
“I love it when you say my name. Now scream it.”
“Caleb!” She floods my hand with her release, my name echoing in the bathroom as she does.
“So beautiful when you come for me,” I whisper and kiss her neck and jaw.
I turn her around, delighted by the flush on her cheeks and chest, and step into her, forcing her back against the wall. My hands frame her face and bring her lips to mine. The kiss is messy, hungry, and wet as I growl into her mouth, my need for her like a taut rope ready to snap.
“I bet this pretty pussy made a mess just now. Let me clean that up for you,” I murmur against her lips, and she hums in agreement.
When I pull back, her grey eyes are sluggish with desire .
“And then I’m going to fuck you so hard it’ll shatter the both of us.”
I drop to my knees before her and pick up one ankle, guiding it over my shoulder. I dot kisses up the soft skin of her calf, her knee, and her inner thigh until I’m hovering right over her.
Before I let myself taste her, I look up, holding her eyes with mine so she doesn’t have a chance of denying who’s making her feel this good.
I lean in and blow against her swollen clit, loving the feel of her thighs trembling where my hands hold on to her. Slowly, I extend my tongue and lick from her entrance to her clit, my heart pounding out of control.
Fuck, I’ve missed the taste of her. My hands move up to her hips, pulling her hard against my face so I can devour her. I’m moaning just as loudly as her, and when she slides a hand through my hair and tugs, my eyes roll to the back of my head.
“God, yes,” she sighs. I help guide her hips over my face, rolling her back and forth so my tongue can reach every wet and bare inch of her. Her moans turn into cries as she clenches around my tongue.
“Caleb.” My name is breathy and pleading. I move my head further between her legs, one hand on her clit, rubbing over her in firm circles.
“Yes. Yes!”
I bite against the skin of her pussy, then soothe the spot with kisses before plunging my tongue deep inside her once more. Lex throws her head back and screams.
My cock feels hard as stone, ready to explode inside of her. Desperate to.
I run my hands over her torso, my fingertips teasing lightly over her nipples as I leave a trail of soft kisses over her pussy and thighs as she comes down. Looking up at her, I’m met with stormy grey eyes, full of desire. Her chest heaves, her cheeks are flushed.
Lex leans over and shuts off the water. “I need you to take me to bed now.”
