Chapter Three
Titus told Jep that he was going to nap for a couple of hours. Most of the men were resting as others took their shifts watching the compound.
He scoffed. A nap even though it was after ten PM already. He told Jep to wake him if the men out there made a move. He then headed down the hall.
His thoughts then moved to a subject that had been on his mind, despite the battle.
Titus wondered if he would ever have time to tell Reno how he felt about her.
He’d wanted to talk to her and be with her for days now.
He caught her looking at him a few times and he had held her hand at the table a few times as well.
Then just before the battle geared up yesterday, he saw her in the hall and he grabbed her up to kiss her.
It had been a dumbass thing to do as she could have slapped him. She had done that before when they first met. But he simply went with how he felt.
Then surprise jolted him when she had eagerly kissed him back. They heard voices and stepped away from each other.
Now, he laid here in his bed and remembered that sweet, hot kiss. His whole body went hard. His mind lit up with all the things he wanted to do to her...with her. Maybe after all this settled down, he could see if she meant that kiss or not.
He finally dozed off.
A while later, he bolted upright and grabbed someone that loomed over him. His instincts never failed him. Immediately, he realized the person was female and he recognized her scent. “Reno?”
“Yes,” she gasped out.
He plopped her down on his lap as he sat back down. “Why are you here?”
She remained silent, but her body trembled.
He couldn’t help it...he sniffed her neck and licked his lips. Just so sweet smelling and so tempting.
“I-I wanted to...” Her voice fell away.
Titus didn’t stop himself, he placed his lips on her neck and tasted her skin as he held her tighter. “Do you want this?” He nibbled at her ear.
Her trembling grew. “Yes, dammit. the way you look at me just makes me shiver. In a good way. Like you wanted to eat me alive. Hungry. Your eyes, they just...”
“What, Reno?”
“You make me hot and wet Titus...okay? I admit it.”
He smiled. “I had thought it was the opposite. That you weren’t affected by me.”
She turned in his arms and faced him. “From the moment you looked at me in the bakery, I-I don’t know. I just wanted you.”
He placed his head against her forehead. “I feel the same way.”
“Look, this war could end lives,” she whispered. “I just didn’t want to... well miss out on something special.” She reached down and rubbed him where his erection was hard through the sweats he wore.
“We will make it through, but I still want you right this damn minute.” He raised her shirt and attacked a bare breast as he sucked a nipple into his mouth. He loved the flavor of this woman. He felt tingles all through his body as he took in the scent of her arousal.
She shucked her shirt and her arms crept around his neck. Laying her head on his shoulder, she whispered, “I’m safe with you, that’s all I know or care about.”
Titus felt his body come alive and he got even harder “You might not be as safe as you think you are. I want more of you.”
“Good, because so do I. In fact, I was hoping you did.”
Titus felt himself throb with wanting this woman.
Wasting no time, he turned to wrap his arms around her.
Tipping her onto her back his lips crashed down on hers.
His hands grasped her bare shoulders and moved down her sides.
He discovered she was naked all the way down and his heart beat a little faster.
She pulled at the waistband of his pants and Titus pulled them down from his hips to his knees.
Within a minute, his lips were caressing the skin on her neck again, as his hands were busy caressing the rest of her body.
Her breasts fit in the palm of his hands perfectly.
His teeth scraped lightly over nipple and he heard her gasp.
Groaning, she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Please... I need you inside me right now,” she whispered. “Please...”
Titus pushed his hard cock against her belly and groaned.
“And I need to be inside you.” He shifted his body and tugged the blanket up over them both as his cock kissed her nether lips.
Her juices coated his flesh and he couldn’t wait any longer.
He surged into her warm wet core and they both groaned together.
He backed out and surged forward again, this time going deeper and harder.
Reno raised her hips and met him more than half way.
With each stroke, Titus felt her body tighten with pleasure as she whimpered.
His own body was getting ready to explode as he stroked her.
Leaning back a bit, his lips found her nipples and he closed in on them.
As he sucked them into his mouth, he heard her hiss with pleasure.
Titus bit down on her skin as he pushed himself deep inside her.
Reno’s legs tightened around his waist and he felt her core heat up to the overload setting. “I-I’m going to come,” she whispered to his lips.
Titus pounded her harder in anticipation. When he felt her clamp down on him... his brain shorted out. He felt the zing of his own climax and he pushed one last time, deep inside her. Titus gritted his teeth as his body let go. For a moment, he felt lightheaded with his release.
Reno opened her mouth to scream her pleasure.
Titus smothered her mouth with his, eating up her cries. He kissed her with everything he had left. Damn, he’d never come like that with a woman. She did things to his mind and his body that he couldn’t explain if his life depended on it.
Reno sighed as she still held onto him for dear life.
Titus slipped out of her warmth and took her into his arms. He spooned her body up against his.
The warmth from her made him feel somehow at home.
He listened to her even breathing and realized she was already asleep.
He closed his eyes and felt sleep sneaking up on him.
They’d both had a long day. This fight took a lot to maintain everything.
The moment sleep claimed him, everything felt right in his world.
He knew the feeling wouldn’t last but he hoped it would.
Then his arms tightened around her and Titus realized she was what made everything right and he knew he would fight the devil himself to keep her safe. “I need you to know something.”
“What is it?”
“You’re mine, Reno.”
“W-what?”
“I want you with me when this is over with.”
“But—?”
He placed his fingers over her lips. “You don’t need to say anything. Before this is over, you will know this is true. But right now it is time to shower up, cause I have a war going on out there.”
He led her into his bathroom then turned her around and bent her over against the sink. He reached under and grasped her clit to play with it a bit.
Gasping, she wet his palm with her moisture. “I thought we were taking a shower?” she asked as she panted.
He smirked and reached around to tug at her nipple as he rubbed her clit.
“Yes, but I’m priming you for that.” Looking up, he could see them both in the mirror.
The way her face looked, those luminous eyes full of yearning.
It made him harder than he was before. “Damnit, you are beautiful.” He dipped his head and licked her back
Trembling, Reno was panting. “Ohhh, the way you handle me... Goooodd!”
He smiled as he grasped her hips. “Hold onto the counter because it is about to get a little rough.” He then parted her lips and surged up inside her with one powerful thrust.
Her body rose up as she moaned with a gasping sound.
Titus got to watch her face in the mirror and the pleasure she was feeling was right there. Damnit though, it was going to make him come sooner than he’d wanted. He thrust up high again.
Her body arched and she lowered her head. “Ohhhh,” she panted out as her body tightened with a climax.
“That’s my girl,” he cooed as he came inside her.
After a moment or so, she slumped and he caught her as he slipped out of her.
“Oh, my god, Titus! Where have you been all my life?”
He laughed as he kissed her neck. “Up here on Lookout Mountain, apparently.”
She chuckled and then looked down at herself. “I’m a bit messy.”
He grinned at her in the mirror. “Yes, you are and I love it. Because I’m the one who got you that way.”
She stood up straighter and groaned as her knees shook a little.
Still smirking, he maneuvered her into the shower and turned it on. “I’ll get you clean. After all, it is my fault.”
“Oh no, I was there too, ya know.”
They both laughed as they got under the water.
When he licked her bottom lip, she gasped and he pushed his tongue into her mouth. Wrapping his arms around her, he lifted her off her feet. With his hips against hers, he could feel his cock hardening as it sought her wet core...All over again.
Wrapping her legs around his waist, Titus slipped his cock into her. Rocking her gently, he pushed his way deep inside her.
Reno gasped as she felt him fill her up.
Moaning, she began to move her hips and then it was Titus’s turn to moan.
He twisted her around to back her against the tiled wall, then he proceeded to pound into her.
Each stroke was long and hard and it didn’t take long before Reno went over the edge and came. Titus followed with a roar of pleasure.
Moments later, he slid from her and before he broke away, he kissed her gently.
When he moved away from her, he pulled her under the spray of warm water.
She giggled as the water cascaded over her bare skin.
Titus soaped up a washcloth and washed her body.
Then she took the cloth from him and washed his.
When they rinsed off, Titus pulled her under the water again and kissed her.
She laughed as she wiped the excess water from her face then scooted out of the shower and grabbed a towel. After drying off, she got dressed.
Titus watched her the whole time. He now wondered if he should have talked with Crank about this...Damn, he just jumped before he even thought about it. There hadn’t been time to do that but he should have anyway.
This wasn’t a mistake at all. But not handling it right might have been a huge blunder.
