Chapter 14 #2
Tori’s cheeks were pink and a strand of hair was sticking to the sweat on her temple. She looked delectably, deliciously alive.
Alive, dangerous, and beautiful in a way that left an ache at the pit of my stomach. Fuck, I wanted her so bad.
“Come on,” she taunted, hands up. “Show me what your rugby instinct can do.”
Like a bull seeing red, I charged at her, relishing the squeal I forced out of her before she dodged me.
We collided anyway, chest to chest, and the impact sent a jolt through me — half adrenaline and half something I wasn't sure I'd be able to name, even if I wasn't distracted by all my wet dreams coming to life.
Tori’s hand shot toward my collarbone, going for a snap-down, but I caught her forearm, stepping in close. Her breath hit my throat, sending shivers of pleasure racing down my spine.
Beautiful green eyes flicked up to meet mine and I almost got lost in their depths. Almost.
I jerked myself back into the moment, forcing my mind to focus on the here and now.
Showing me just how good she was at her job, she used the momentary distraction to sweep my leg.
I stumbled, caught myself, and growled, “Cheap shot.”
“Should’ve been paying attention.” Tori shrugged, a smug smile playing around her lips.
That was it. My patience had run out and I stopped holding back.
I feinted high and she took the bait. In one swift movement, I wrapped an arm around her torso and pulled her flush against me. She tried to spin out again, but I locked my weight onto her, grounding her.
“Kai—” Her voice suddenly sounded all breathy.
She fought me with everything she had — elbows, shifting center of gravity, twisting hips. She almost broke free. Almost.
But I outweighed her, and I wasn’t letting go this time.
With a controlled pivot, I hooked her thigh, lifted her and eased her down onto the mat. My arm was there to brace her head and prevent her skull from banging against the floor.
We hit the floor hard enough to make the mats thud, and the little gasp escaping her was music to my ears.
I hovered over her, my breath coming in fast pants, and my arms caging her in. Her chest rose against mine with every inhale, the hard points of her nipples outlined by the stretchy material. Green eyes met mine, pulling me under their spell once more.
Something charged, heavy and positively dangerous poured between us in the quiet.
“Got you.”
Tori’s lips curved into something that was not quite a smile or a scowl. More like she wasn’t sure whether to push me away or pull me closer.
“You got lucky,” she panted.
“Pretty sure I didn’t.”
She swallowed hard, and for one precarious, suspended second, neither of us moved.
“Prove it, then.” Her tongue darted out to wet her lips, and I tracked the movement greedily with my eyes.
“Prove what?” I asked dumbly.
“That you didn’t get lucky. Prove you can handle me, Pretty Boy.”
A slow, wicked grin spread across my face as I stared down at her, unable to take my eyes off the way her chest was heaving.
“Thought you’d never ask,” I growled playfully.
Ducking my head, I attacked the elegant and woefully exposed slope of her neck, biting down hard.
“What the fuck?” Tori shrieked, trying to wiggle out of my grasp.
A deep chuckle rumbled through my chest as I held her down and marked her smooth skin. I finally eased back to lick the red indentations soothingly and examine my handiwork.
“Just leaving a little reminder for you here, Love.”
“What, you’re that forgettable?”
Christ, she felt good under me, so tiny and soft. Despite having her pinned under my bulk, she still managed to look down her nose at me.
I barked out a laugh. “Guess you’ll have to see and find out.”
The sassy retort was already on her lips but I ground my desperately throbbing cock into her pussy, claiming her mouth in a brutal, bruising kiss, effectively shutting her up.
I rolled my hips until I seemed to have found the magic spot. Her back arched, smashing her boobs against my chest. For a brief moment I entertained the idea of tearing her bra apart with my bare hands, just to finally get a good look at them.
Don’t think she’d like that.
Instead, I opted for continuing mission dry hump Tori until she begs me to fuck her.
People routinely underestimate how wild you can drive someone without taking their clothes off. I was almost certain she expected me to eat her out again — I'd have loved to, but that would have been the easy way out.
As much as I wanted to rub her pretty, pink pussy all over my face, I wanted her submission more. Focussing on the spot that had made her react so beautifully just a moment ago, I rolled my hips into her in a wave-like motion.
Pleasure tingled at the base of my spine and my abs flexed with every thrust into the V of her thighs. The friction was delicious, and I could have sworn I could feel her getting wet for me.
“I’m going to get you soaked for me before I even peel these off your body.” I braced myself on one arm to pinch the thin fabric of her leggings between my forefinger and thumb before letting it snap back.
“Doubt it.”
“Is that right?” I froze above her, not moving a muscle. “Then you won’t mind íf I stop, will ya?”
Breathing heavily, she stared up at me, searching my face. Looking her dead in the eye, I raised a brow in challenge, the smile never leaving my lips.
The seconds stretched on, as did the silence between us, broken only by the sound of our heavy breathing.
“You’re bluffing.” She licked her lips.
“Oh yeah?” I shook my head from side to side. “You sure? I—”
In a lightning-fast move, she planted her foot on my shoulder. I flew back with a surprised grunt, landing heavily on my back, the air rushing out of my lungs.
“Jesus Christ!”
“Bet you didn’t see that coming.”
When I lifted my head, she was crab-crawling away from me, a triumphant smirk on her face.
She got me. She got me good.
I’d thought it — and said it — the first time she’d taken me down, and there it was again. Only this time it felt a lot more real.
I think I’m in love.
Shoving the jarring notion to the side, I snapped my attention back to her.
“Yeah nah, sure didn’t. You’re good at what you’re doing.” I pushed myself into a crouch and sucked my teeth. “Still not getting away.”
Springing into motion, I covered the distance between us in the blink of an eye. Tori squeaked in shock and twisted onto her stomach, attempting to scramble away, but too late.
My hand closed around her ankle and pulled her back to me as she tried and failed to find purchase on the smooth surface beneath us.
“Let me go!” Tori kicked out, narrowly missing my face.
Oh, I see how it is. We aren’t pulling punches, huh?
“Wrong move,” I snarled.
Grabbing her shoulder, I pinned her torso to the ground with one hand and pushed my erection against her ass. “This position feel familiar?”
Tori just bucked her hips, still trying to wriggle and fight her way out from under me.
“Well, this time it’ll go down a bit different, Love. This time, I’m going to take what I want,” I growled in her ear, crouching over her like a beast protecting its kill.
“Fuck you,” she spat, her jaw clenched.
“I intend to. Love your fire, baby, but that’s not what I want to see from you right now.” I increased the pressure on the hand holding her in place. “You’re going to give me what I want?”
“I don’t beg for any man.” Her words were haughty — even arrogant — and the desire thrumming through my body kicked up another notch.
Christ, I wanted to keep her.
“We’ll see about that.”
“Do your worst.”
Alrighty. Who was I to deny a lady’s request?
I eased back and grabbed the waistband of her leggings, tearing the stretchy material until it yielded. Tori gasped at the sound of the fabric ripping, but I didn’t have a second to waste.
Tearing the scraps down her legs, she made another attempt of scrambling away from me, but I was done waiting. I pounced on her like a rabid dog, dragging her back by the ankles and flipping her over.
My mind was completely consumed by her. All my senses were taken over by her, and I could not avoid thinking about her.
“What the hell do you think you—”
The same hand that had pushed her shoulder against the mat a minute ago had now snaked up to wrap itself around her throat. Her pretty eyes went wide, almost comically so, and my lips curled in amusement.
“I don’t think I’m doing anything.” My gaze raked over her half-naked body, drinking in her curves greedily. “Now, why don’t you be a good girl for me and pull down your bra before I decide it’s annoying me as much as your pants did, hm?”
Tori scoffed, but I tightened my grip in warning and felt her throat bob as she swallowed hard. Slowly, her fingers curled around the fabric and tugged it down, releasing the supple flesh it had contained.
I bit back a groan, watching them bounce deliciously. Unable to resist, I dove and sucked one of her rock-hard nipples into my mouth. Her back arched off the ground once more, pushing more of her breast into my mouth, which I greedily accepted.
Straightening up again, I released her with an audible pop, huffing out a breath as I watched the goosebumps spread across her skin.
The look in her eyes had softened considerably but I could tell she still held onto her resolve and wasn’t nearly ready to beg yet.
Pity.
My dick was tenting the fabric of my shorts and there was sweat dotting on my forehead after the impromptu chase. But I had plans for my little minx, and my cock would just have to wait a little while longer.
“Now, where were we?” I flexed my fingers around her throat again, enjoying the way her breath hitched. “Ah! I know.”
Using my free hand, I ripped the thong down her legs while fighting against her struggling limbs.
“I’m not gonna beg—”
“Oh, yes, you will.”
“In your dreams.” She scoffed.
“Nah, but I’ll be dreaming about this for sure.”
