Chapter 23
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
SLOANE
If Hayes didn't touch me soon, I was going to combust. Not to mention my psyche couldn't handle the rejection. I'd waited almost a dozen years for this to happen, and another moment just might kill me.
Thankfully, he didn't make me wait long. Grabbing my ass, he lifted me up so my legs wrapped around his waist. The erection I had felt with my hand was now nestled right where I wanted it. Too bad there were several layers between us.
I dragged my nails along the back of his hair and smiled when he all but purred. I snickered. "I guess that answers my question, if you still like this."
"I didn't realize how much I missed it until now. It was never the same when I tried to do it myself to calm down."
Hayes didn't rush up the stairs like I expected him to. He took his time and made me feel comfortable. I thought I would be nervous, but in my heart, I knew Hayes would take care of me. He always did.
But damn, I wanted heat. I wanted rip-off-your-clothes passion. I wanted him to want me as much as I wanted him.
So when he finally got me into my bedroom and tried to kiss me slowly, I voiced my displeasure with a groan and bite to his bottom lip.
Hayes pulled back and stared at me in disbelief. "Did you just bite me? And not in a sexy way."
"I did. You have some notion that because you're 'my first'––yes, I verbally air quoted those two words. Sue me––that I'm suddenly delicate. I'm not fragile. Unless you consider a bomb fragile."
Okay, maybe I was being a bit dramatic, but damn, I waited a really long-ass time for this. I should think my reward was crazy monkey sex.
"Yeah…a bomb is definitely fragile."
I rolled my eyes. "Listen, Hayes. I love you. I never stopped. But everyone knows there's a very fine line between love and hate. So unless you want to find out just how easy it is to dance across the line, I suggest you ravish me."
I was slightly out of breath from my little rant. And I knew my words didn't penetrate––and I certainly wanted penetration soon before my nerves did kick in––when Hayes' eyes went soft.
"You still love me?"
"Seriously?" I leaned back and slapped him on his shoulder. A true testament to my core strength, considering my legs were still wrapped around his waist. "That's all you got from that? Dammit, Hayes. Screw me already."
His lips tipped up into a devilishly sexy lopsided smirk. "As you wish, Sunshine."
Hayes spun around and marched us over to my bed. With an unceremonious motion, he unwrapped my legs and hurdled me into the air so when I hit the soft bed, my body bounced a bit.
"Strip, Sunshine. I want to see that perfectly sexy body spread out for me."
I scrambled to do his bidding. There was absolutely no finesse in the way I tore my clothes off.
Hell, taking my pants off proved I lacked grace when they got tangled around my ankles.
For half a second, I thought they might rip with how much force I was using to detach them from my body.
Luckily, I won in the end, and the traitorous piece of fabric was sent sailing across the room.
I was slightly disappointed when I looked up and found Hayes completely dressed. The damn man hadn't taken off a stitch of clothing, and the amused twinkle in his eyes screamed he found my little striptease––I used the term very, very loosely––entertaining.
"Why the hell do you still have clothes on?"
I was supposed to be seeing his naked body in all its glory. That was how sex worked.
"Because I plan to taste you first, and if I'm completely naked, I'll be tempted to sink inside your perfect pussy instead of feasting."
Well, alrighty, then. That was a bit intimidating.
"What if I don't like it?" I bit the side of my lip. It was blatantly obvious how inexperienced I was, and apparently, I was also suddenly shy about the thought of him sticking his face down there.
Hayes distracted me by yanking his shirt off and throwing it onto the floor. I had the pleasure of feeling his stomach before he removed my hands from his body, but seeing it was a different story. Time had been good to him.
Hayes stopped my perusal with a tug of my leg.
Before I knew it, my ass was on the edge of my bed, and he was throwing my legs over his shoulders.
"Trust me, you'll like it. In fact, I can guaran-damn-tee you will enjoy everything I do to you tonight.
Now lean back so I can make your every wish come true. "
He didn't give me the chance to argue further. One second, he was talking, and the next, he was using his talented mouth for other things. Like licking from bottom to top.
And oh fuck, he just might've been right.
The man didn't disappoint when he said he would ravish me. I couldn't possibly keep up with everything he was doing to me.
There was licking and sucking. The spreading of my pussy lips with his fingers so he could spear me with his superbly talented tongue. I was pretty sure he nibbled me at some point, but I couldn't be sure. My mind was becoming mush with every new sensation he introduced.
Just when I thought he was going to stick to one act, he switched things up and introduced me to a whole new thrill.
My mind was so damn hazy it took me a few minutes to realize he was bringing me to the edge of a cliff and backing up just as I was about to fly off.
"What are you doing to me?" I moaned.
"Edging, Sunshine. I want to see how much you can take before I reward you with your first orgasm."
Shit! I couldn't make my brain work enough to fathom what he was telling me. All I knew was my body was oversensitive, and I was a wriggling mess.
"Give it to me, Sunshine. Come all over my tongue." He followed the demand with a drag of his close-clipped beard through my sensitive pussy and a suckle of my clit.
My body did exactly as he commanded, and before I could process what was happening, I felt a euphoria take over that could only be described as out of this world.
I screamed Hayes' name and didn't even care if my teammates heard me. I was too damn caught up in the bliss.
When I finally floated back down to earth and opened my eyes, Hayes' beaming smile was in my line of sight.
"Taste yourself." He didn't give me the opportunity to ask what he meant. His tongue swept across my lips, and the sweet tang of my arousal tingled my taste buds. I wanted to be repulsed by the action, but I could see why he liked it so much.
The kiss ended far too soon though. "Told you you would like it. I'm no longer the bumbling teenager copping a feel."
No, he certainly wasn't, but I didn't want to think about what he did to learn those skills. It would ruin the moment, so instead, I fumbled with his belt. I wanted his shorts off and more of how he made me feel just moments before.
Hayes was now in as much of a hurry as I was. Unlike me, he made stripping sexy. The damn man didn't look like a fawn using his legs for the first time. It was slightly irritating. Fortunately for him, I was quickly distracted by his monster of a cock.
The nerves I didn't feel, up until now, raced to the surface. Would he fit? It had been ten years since I pushed a small baby from my vagina, and I was damn certain everything went back to normal.
"Don't worry. Your pussy was made to take my cock."
Hayes proved even after all this time he could read me like a book.
"I should warn you; when you kidnapped me, I didn't bother to grab condoms." I chuckled at the mention of me forcibly bringing him here. "So unless you plan to object and put a stop to this, I'm taking you bare."
"I have an IUD," I quickly blurted. "And I'm clean. We get checked every three months."
Hayes smiled down at me. "I've never gone bare before, and I've had numerous checks since the last time I was with a woman. You have to know I would never put you in danger."
"I know," I answered softly. "Now please fuck me before I overthink this."
With his arm looped behind my back, Hayes dragged me further up the bed and settled between my legs. "Tell me if I hurt you."
I nodded even though it was a lie. There was no way I would say anything that would cause him to stop this.
Hayes notched his cock at my entrance and ever so slowly began to enter me.
I didn't want slow. I made my opinion on the matter known when I dug the heels of my feet into his ass and pulled him into me.
I didn't give him the option. I let gravity and his desire take over. At first, it felt like he was ripping me in two. But I ignored the pain and focused on the fact that finally Hayes and I were one.
Hayes dropped his forehead to mine and exhaled. "Fuck you feel so good. I waited a lifetime for this and thought I would never know what heaven felt like. Thank you for giving it to me."
"You're welcome, but if you don't move soon, I'm going to take matters into my own hands."
He didn't make me wait another moment. Hayes pulled out almost to the tip and slammed back in so hard that I moved a few inches up the bed. Gentle flew out the window, and with it, any hesitation that tried to worm its way in.
Hayes didn't slow down. He ravished me just like I asked him to. With my palm firmly planted on the wall, I accepted every hard thrust he was willing to give me.
Unlike when he went down on me, Hayes didn't prolong my next orgasm. He yanked it from my body with such force all I could do was hang on for the ride.
He fucked me through it, and just when I thought I was so sensitive I considered screaming “uncle,” he rolled us over so I was on top.
"Ride me, Sunshine. Use me to make yourself feel good."
At first, my moves were jerky. I didn't know how to make myself feel good, but with Hayes’ help, I found a rhythm that worked for us both. Before I knew it, I was once again standing on the cliff ready to soar off. Only this time, I wanted Hayes with me.
"I want you to finish with me," I begged.
"I'm close, Sunshine. Don't stop. I want to coat your pussy walls with my cum."
His words spurred me on. I rode him like my life depended on him finishing, and seconds later, I was rewarded with a roar of my name.
I liked the way his cock jerked as he finished inside me. I liked knowing I was able to do that to him.
The high didn't last long though. I was zapped of energy and flopped onto his chest. In sync, we strained to get enough oxygen into our lungs.
We lay like that for several minutes. Until finally, Hayes rolled me onto my back and slipped out of me. I whimpered both from the loss and the twinge of pain.
Of course Hayes noticed. "Let me get a washcloth to clean you up."
I closed my eyes while I waited for him to come back. He wasn't gone long, and despite not wanting to, I flinched slightly when the warm cloth hit my sensitive pussy.
"I took you too rough. You were supposed to tell me if I hurt you."
I opened my eyes and gave him a sleepy smile. "You didn't hurt me. I liked everything we did together and hope like hell we do it again soon."
Hayes tossed the washcloth onto the floor and crawled onto the mattress next to me. He grabbed the leather piece of cloth around my neck and rubbed his thumb along the band. "I miss seeing this on your finger."
I didn't hesitate. I pulled the cord over my head and untied it so the ring slipped off.
Handing it over to Hayes, I gave him the honor of putting it on my finger the same way he had done when we were teenagers.
Only this time, he placed a small kiss there after it was nestled on.
"Thank you, and just so you know, I love you too.
I never stopped. Despite everything, you've always owned my heart.
You always will. This time, I will marry you, and we'll get the happily ever after we deserve. "
The last piece of barbed wire I used for years to guard my heart crumbled to dust. Come hell or high water, I was holding him to that. Anyone who thought they could take it away from us again would meet my wrath.
