Chapter 18 #3
“I won’t,” I promised, then had to clap my hand to my mouth to stay true to my word as he covered me with his mouth and proved that he’d been going easy on me.
My back arched as he used his lips and tongue to bring me quickly to the brink of pleasure. It had been too long since anyone had touched me this way, and I’d fantasized about him ever since we’d started working together, even if I’d never admitted it to myself.
I sank my teeth into my palm—not enough to hurt, but enough to stop myself from keening his name and attracting unwanted attention.
“That’s it, baby. Let go. I’ve got you.” His panted breaths against my heated skin only made me wilder, as did his little grunts and groans, as if this were as hot for him as it was for me.
He found my clit and flicked it mercilessly. I screamed into my palm as an orgasm rolled through me. He softened, toying with me, dragging out the pulsing waves of pleasure until I was boneless, then he stood and took me in his arms, holding me close as he eased up my jeans and refastened them.
My eyelashes fluttered and I gazed up at him. His chest was rising and falling rapidly, his eyes nearly black. Another shudder tore through me.
I’d done that to him.
And now, I wanted a taste of him for myself.
“Can we go to our room?” I asked, rubbing his crotch, where there was no hiding his desire.
“Fuck, yes.” He started to move toward me, as if for a kiss, but then stopped.
I frowned. That wouldn’t do. I grabbed his head and pulled his lips to mine. He exploded forward, pinning me to the tree and rutting against me, but then tore himself away.
“Shit.” He ran his hand through his hair. “Bedroom. Now.”
I took his free hand and giggled as we snuck around the edge of the camp together, stealthily making our way to the room. Austin fumbled in his pocket for the key and opened it far too slowly for my liking.
Now that the floodgates had opened, I wanted everything I could get from him. I was eager to run my hands all over those impressive muscles I’d admired from afar, and to sink my fingers into the cheeks of the ass that women around the country wanted to bite.
He shoved the door open and I slammed it shut behind us, wincing at the overly loud crash in the quiet night. If there had been any doubt about what we’d snuck off to do, that noise had probably erased it.
Never mind.
Austin turned toward me. I gave his chest a playful push and he sat on the edge of the bunk bed, his knees parted. I grabbed a pillow, dropped it on the floor, and kneeled between them.
He smoldered at me as I got his pants down, followed quickly by his underwear. Suddenly, I was face-to-face with his cock. It was large, but I’d expected that. The head was flushed pink, and his hair was neatly trimmed, just how I liked it.
I grinned up at him, then lowered my lips to his cock head and brushed a kiss to the tip. His hips bucked and his fingers twitched at his sides, as if he wanted to grab my hair but was holding back.
I sucked the head into my mouth and swirled my tongue around it, tasting the salty tang of pre-cum. I took him deeper, then pulled off, easing into a rhythm and working slightly more of him into my mouth each time, until he was nearly bumping against the back of my throat.
My eyes watered. A groan tore from him, and he gathered my hair in his hands and held it out of my face.
My heart swelled. That wasn’t the act of a man who just wanted sex.
It was more intimate. Tender. I didn’t want to read too much into anything until we’d explicitly said what this was, but I couldn’t help getting my hopes up a little.
Maybe Austin was telling the truth. Maybe he honestly cared for me.
“That’s it,” he murmured, his hips stuttering as he tried to stop himself from thrusting. “Feels amazing, baby.”
I encircled the base of his erection with one hand and pumped him as I sucked, not wanting to drag this out. Provided he wasn’t satisfied with a one-and-done, there would be plenty of time to explore each other properly when his entire team wasn’t a few hundred yards away.
He swore, and his fingers tightened reflexively in my hair. “I’m going to come.”
I kept my mouth exactly where it was, showing him without words what I wanted. He shuddered and then emptied into me. I swallowed him down and released him when he flinched away, becoming too sensitive for more.
“Get up here,” he growled, tugging me up to join him on the bed. He scooted back, lay down, and pulled me into his embrace. I closed my eyes, enjoying the warm coziness of being held in his arms.
I didn’t allow myself to relax for too long, though. I needed to know what this was before it went any further because he’d never wanted to date and I hadn’t seen any indication that had changed.
“Austin,” I said quietly. “What does this mean for us?”
He nuzzled the back of my neck. “I—”
A sharp bang on the door interrupted him.
I jolted, my heart leaping in shock.
“Stop fucking around,” Drew called, loud enough to make us both cringe. “Dinner is ready.”
I looked at Austin, but I could already tell I wouldn’t get any answers from him until after dinner.
Damn. The wait was going to be excruciating.
