23. Amethyst
Twenty-Three
Amethyst
A part of me is desperate for a lobotomy.
There’s a silver lining to the voice outside.
My paralyzing anxiety has placed me in Skyler’s lap.
And he’s shirtless. For the first time, I find myself thankful for that incessant darkness.
He is mesmerizing. From the dark hair falling just above his glowing hazel eyes to the toned muscles rippling beneath his skin.
Sitting back on my heels, I drink in the sight. Allow my eyes to wander without shame or fear of being caught. I trail my gaze down his abs to where our bodies connect. Following the delicious V that dips below the waistband of his sweats.
Goddess above, he’s perfect in every way. His words have not been lost on me. Not just the words, the actions behind them. The jokes we’ve shared, the nicknames, the happiness.
I am completely fucking gone for you, Amethyst. His earlier words dance around my mind, and fuck, I’m gone for him. I’m tired of dancing around it. Sick of denying myself. I want him. He wants me.
Fuck. It.
For a split second the fear I felt hearing that voice outside leaks in. Glancing back to the window doubt wraps around my throat, causing me to falter. Skyler takes my face in his hands. Longing and concern war in his eyes.
His voice is hazy with lust, but no less menacing, “Anyone who dares to touch you signs their death certificate. I’d sooner see the world burn than any harm come to you.” He leans forward, brushing my hair behind my ear, aiming to kiss my cheek.
I turn my head instead, planting my lips on his. He moans, wrapping his hand in my hair. With a gentle tug he angles my head up, deepening the kiss. His free hand grabs my waist and pulls me flush against his chest.
A longing whimper makes its way up my throat as the new position lets me feel just how much he’s enjoying this. He swallows the sound as his tongue explores my mouth. That desperate warmth settles in my chest again.
As if reading my mind, he pulls back. His hungry eyes find mine — seeking permission. A slight nod is all it takes. He presses a kiss to my sternum, and my world falls off its fucking axis. His teeth graze across my collarbone, sending sparks through my body.
My head falls back. Slowly, I rock my hips against him as my core cries for his touch. Skyler sucks the delicate skin at the base of my throat into his mouth. In the same beat, he reaches between us sliding a finger across my leggings, teasing the outline of my folds.
A feral moan escapes me, “Skyler.” I’m begging, for what I don’t know. Just more. I need more. There’s too many layers of fabric between us. Crossing my arms, I grip the hem of my sweater, guiding it over my head.
Skyler freezes, his eyes drinking me in.
That needy gaze empowers me. My hands trail down his arms, across his chest. “Skyler,” I say again, tone more serious.
There’s no going back from this. We’ve been tiptoeing this line but crossing it changes everything.
I’ll never be able to go back to just friends... or coworkers? What if it’s too soon…
“I need —” He shakes his head. “Fuck. That. Job.” He pauses between each word, pressing kisses to my breasts, sucking a nipple between his teeth after the last one. Gentle, never biting, just teasing the flesh.
With a hand on each cheek, I lift his head. He leans in to capture my lips again, but I press a finger to his. “Shush,” a playful smirk tugs the edges of my mouth upwards. “I was saying, I need to give you my two-week notice.”
A sound far more wolf than man rumbles in his chest. One arm wraps around my back, his other pushing us off the floor. Lifting me up with his hands under my thighs, he spins us around while nipping at my bottom lip. As his legs hit the mattress, he guides us down, keeping me atop his lap.
Kissing down my neck, he twirls a nipple between his fingers. With a shaky breath, I whine, “Please.” Skyler grazes the base of my throat with his teeth again. This time his hand dips inside the waistband of my leggings.
“Oh, I promise to give you everything you need, Sunlight.”
His fingers push my panties to the side.
“I just want to savor it,” he assures, breath hot against my chest.
His finger draws lazy circles around my clit as he sucks that sensitive skin above my breasts. “Fuck...” I breathe, my head lulling to the side in a blissful daze. He teases my entrance with his finger before withdrawing it. I whimper, a pitiful noise.
“I need to taste you.” Skyler is heady, caught up in our passion. Lifting me off his lap and pressing my back to the mattress, the cool air hits my curves as leggings and panties are quickly discarded.
For the briefest moment fear inches in. Fear that I’m not what he expected.
That he’ll change his mind. Then, as he drops to his knees between my legs, I catch that gleam in his eyes that I’ve only ever seen when he looks at me.
Hear the euphoric sound that falls from his lips as he grips the tops of my thighs. “Goddess fucking above, Amethyst.”
His tongue glides through the slickness of my folds, circling my clit. “Your body is divine, and I was made to worship every inch.”
And I can’t think of anything at all. Except that he’s not close enough. Not deep enough.
My fingers tangle in his hair as I desperately try to pull him closer. “Skyler, I...” Words fail me. He sucks my clit before releasing it with a pop. “Tell me my sweet fucking Sunlight,” he hums against me, “let me hear those gorgeous thoughts.”
With another circle of his tongue, I’m whimpering. Pushing against him, craving the friction. “I need more. I need you inside.” With a feral groan, he obliges, tongue teasing my entrance as he dips in a finger. I cry out, my head falling against the mattress.
A second finger slides inside and he curls them upwards as he pulls my clit between his teeth. Rocking against him, my muscles tighten. His free hand trails over my stomach leaving fire in its wake.
Teasing a nipple between his fingers, he flattens his tongue against me. With one more delicious curl inside me, I’m falling apart. Without withdrawing his fingers Skyler stands as my thighs shake from the orgasm.
He slips them out as he leans over me. Catching my gaze, he wraps his tongue around the fingers still coated with my release, sucking them into his mouth. His eyes roll back as he moans. “Fucking delicious. One taste and I’m addicted to your sweet pussy.”
Fuck, that’s hot.
Panting for breath, I pull him closer, capturing him in a kiss. He cradles my head as his tongue darts across my lips. When our tongues collide, I taste myself and that drives me even more wild.
He pulls back slipping out of his sweats. I find myself just as hypnotized as he was at the sight of me. With a drunken gaze, he strokes himself once, a glistening droplet at the tip drawing my attention.
As it trails down the length of him, I want to follow that same path with my tongue. He reaches to pull me back in his lap, but I shake my head. “Not yet.” Dropping to my knees, I brace myself on his thighs. “I want a taste of you too, Angel.”
“Fuck,” he whispers, pulling my bottom lip down with a brush of his thumb. “Please, love.”
Oh. Skyler begging me ignites a part of me I never knew existed.
Not only do I feel like something to be desired, I feel powerful .
I plant a kiss on his inner thigh dragging my teeth across his skin.
Reaching the base of his cock, I press an open-mouthed kiss there too. Then glide my tongue from base to tip.
One of his hands fists the sheet while the other cradles my cheek.
As his thumb caresses me, through hooded eyes I meet his gaze.
I slowly take him in my mouth. My eyes flutter, relishing the feel of him.
Once he touches the back of my throat, I lift up just enough to swirl my tongue around his tip before gliding back down.
I hum around his girth as his hips jerk. His moans are like my own personal symphony as I repeat the motions. A few beats pass before he grips my hair, tugging gently. “Please, love,” he whines, “I won’t last if you keep that up, and I need to be inside you.”
With a nod, I release him. A thread of saliva connects my tongue and his tip before snapping and dripping down my chest. Skyler helps me to my feet then scoots back to rest against the headboard.
“Now,” he starts, voice commanding, “come use me until every ounce of pleasure has dripped out of that pretty pussy, Amethyst.”
I hesitate, swallowing a lump in my throat. My uncertainty breaks the spell. Skyler leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees. Nothing but concern shines in his eyes. “We don’t have to,” he says matter-of-factly.
I shake my head climbing up next to him. “No, it’s not a lack of wanting to.” My eyes fall to my legs, “I just...” I quickly remember who I’m talking to. This is Skyler, the man who has always made me feel safe. Who is clearly utterly obsessed with me.
“I’ve never done that position.” The words rush out. He pulls me closer. “Because you don’t want to?” I wince, wrapping my arms around my chest. I glance over my shoulder at my outstretched leg, “Won’t I hurt you?”
Skyler’s eyes flare. He grips the back of my right thigh and straddles me across him. I can feel his cock resting against my ass as he tightens his grip. “The only thing that hurts me, love, is that anyone put that thought in your head.”
He kisses me ferociously, speaking against my lips, “Let me fix it. We’ll replace those thoughts with memories of being cherished.” His hands coax me to rise. Balancing on my knees, I kiss his forehead, whispering “I need you” against his skin.
He guides the head of his cock to my entrance. As he slips inside, my mouth falls open. I ease myself down slowly. Taking him deeper as he growls, “You. Feel. So. Fucking. Perfect.”
His hands rove over my ass then slowly push me back up. I rise, then drop quicker this time. My head tilts back as I gasp, adjusting to the fullness of him. “Just like that, sweet Sunlight.” Skyler praises, moving one hand to my breast and tugging at the nipple. “My cock was made for you. Use it.”
With one hand I grasp the headboard, the other raking down his chest. Skyler reaches between us caressing my clit as I rock my hips. He sucks my nipple into his mouth and my movements falter.
I’m deliciously full. His finger teasing my already sensitive clit. The added sensation leaves me gasping. “Skyler, I’m...”
“I know. Give it to me.”
Then his mouth is on mine, swallowing my moan as I come. His kiss is messy, needy. Like he’s desperate to find that last drop of pleasure he mentioned.
Carefully, he guides me off his lap, easing me down with my back to the mattress. His hands slide my knees apart, putting myself on display to him. His closed-lipped moan of approval shoots straight to my core.
A shiver races through me as his lips trail soft kisses up my inner thigh. “Beautiful,” he whispers against the sensitive flesh. His eyes meet mine and with an absolutely sinful smirk he declares, “You’ve got one more for me, don’t you.”
An equal part amused and disbelieving laugh escapes me. Having him be this obsessive over me is intoxicating. Through half-lidded eyes, I nod. “I want everything you give me.”
His hands cup my ass as his mouth moves from my thigh to center.
His tongue slips inside me briefly, then glides up until he presses a wet kiss against my clit.
My head falls against the pillow, a hand running through my hair.
Skyler’s cock eases inside tantalizingly slow.
He cradles one of my legs while bracing himself on the headboard with his other arm.
My Angel sets a decadent pace, and I lose myself in the sight of him. His arm slides from underneath my leg, leaving my thigh resting on his hip. He brushes his thumb around my clit and those hazel eyes lock on mine. Cupping his face in my hands, I bring our lips together.
His thrusts grow quicker as he nips at my bottom lip. My muscles grow tight as his tongue tangles with mine. This orgasm explodes, shattering me. I break the kiss, gasping for air as Skyler falls forward, catching himself with both hands on the headboard.
He pulses inside me while his arms shake as he sucks in a few breaths. Wordlessly, he presses a kiss to my forehead, collapsing beside me and wrapping me in his arms.
We stay that way, tangled together. The beat of his heart lulls me. On the cusp of sleep, I hear Skyler murmur something against my hair that sounds like “I love you.”
I love him, too. Irrevocably.
