Chapter 15
HUDSON
Icircle around Piper, observing her like prey. I love how her mouth is partly open in curiosity. I hook my finger under her chin to tip her mouth up for easy access before I kiss her with warm intent, drawing in her breath, humming satisfaction.
Pulling away, I brush my thumb along her bottom lip. “You trust me, don’t you?”
She swallows. “Fully. It’s unexplainable.”
I move my fingers to the edge of her tank top to slowly pull up the fabric. “What you did earlier could easily bring a man to his knees.”
A smirk forms on her lips as I urge her arms up over her head to get the tank off. “Is that what you’re going to do?”
I scoff a laugh. “No. But it is what you are going to do. As much as I loved your surprise, you are a bit of a naughty girl, so get on your knees, Piper.”
Her lips part open and her tongue darts to the corner of her mouth. She is about to obey, but I tsk.
“Uh-uh, take those jeans off first.” I tap the button above her zipper with my long finger.
Her breath is audible, and she moves to take action. I have to bite my lip when I see her in only a bra and the panties from earlier. The stockings she had on will have to make an appearance another day.
I toss my towel to the side and I’m naked, but she has no idea until I grab her hands and place them on my hips before she drops to her knees.
“The blindfold will be good for you. You’ll be more sensitive to touch,” I tell her.
“I like the sound of that.” Her tone grows sultry.
I look down to see that her tongue is out of her mouth, ready to lap the head of my cock, and I tangle my hands into her hair to help guide her when the time comes.
Heat coils below my navel the moment her wet tongue begins to lick my length.
“Mmm, dessert,” she whispers before licking droplets off my tip. “I want so much more.” She takes me into her mouth, starting with a slow long stroke before working herself into a rhythm.
I want so much more too.
This woman knows how to make me feel good. She alternates between using her hand and mouth. It’s a talent she has, and I feel like my eyes may already be rolling to the back of my head, but I want to enjoy a little more of her watery mouth taking me in until I hit the back of her throat.
I’m a barbarian maybe because I like her lips swollen and the way she sounds when she moans as she pulls my hips closer to her. Piper is a determined woman in the bedroom; her confidence comes into full swing when sex is involved.
We’re having a moment, and I’m not going to let us go too fast.
I grab hold of her shoulders. “Come here, baby.”
She returns to standing and wipes the back of her hand along her mouth. “Hudson, give me more.” She’s nearly pouting.
I walk us back to the edge of my bed, and I sit down, yanking her down until she’s over my knee with her lace-covered ass in full view.
Piper glances over her shoulder even though she can’t see. “I’ve had this fantasy going in my head for a long time now.” Her grin brings a light-heartedness to our intimate moment that I appreciate.
“Like this? You deserve it.” My palm lands on the flesh of her ass and the sound of the spank fills the room.
She whimpers in delight, and her behind goes pert and up, as if she’s offering me more. I run my hand along her spine in a soothing line. I love wandering all over her body.
“I like this set. Another original?”
Piper glances over her shoulder again, and even though I can’t see her eyes, her face tells me I’m crazy for asking the question when I clearly know the answer. “Always. You’re my inspiration, Coach Arrows.”
I unsnap the clasp of the bra. “I love when you talk dirty,” I tease because she knows what hearing her say that does to me.
In a swift move, I wrap my arms around her and toss her onto the bed.
“On your back and your legs wide.” My hands coax her thighs open, and she plants her feet onto the mattress.
Her body is already writhing in anticipation.
“Forgive me, but these panties have to go, and I may rip them in the process.” I don’t think twice, and I slide them up and off her legs in a gruff movement.
“I may accept the apology.”
I chuckle as I eye her glistening pussy. “Oh, you will. I see you’ve been waiting for me.”
“For days,” she gasps.
I use my tongue to explore her pussy, my instant addiction kicking in.
“Mmhmm, right there.” Her hand touches the top of my head.
I’m not going to go gently. I want to drive her to insanity and leave her begging. In fact, I will only let her come once tonight, because I’m selfish and it can only be while I’m buried deep inside of her.
But she doesn’t need to know that plan quite yet.
I work at her with my fingers and tongue. Her thighs part wider from instinct, and I hold one down while my other hand reaches along her body and settles between her breasts and next to her heart. I want to keep her firm to the mattress and under my spell.
Peering up, I see Piper licking her lips, and her nipples are pebbled, ready for attention too.
“Definitely more sensitive.” Her breath is ragged. “Everything is more sensitive.” She takes hold of my hand to hold it securely against the one place of her body that I’m not sure I have any control over – her heart.
I suck and lick until I feel her getting close. I know her cues by now, and just as she begins to hit the peak of the mountain, I stop and kiss up her body.
“Not yet.” I tug on her nipple with my teeth and love the feeling of her legs wrapping around my waist, the tip of my cock sliding along her slickness. “I’m going to bury myself so deep inside of you.” I drag my lips along her collarbone before taking the other nipple.
“Take this blindfold off me. I need to see you.”
“Why? Because you missed me and came all the way here to surprise me?” I look at her face and wonder what she’s thinking.
Her expression is serious. “Exactly that.”
The air in the room nearly evaporates because the sincerity in her tone stops us in our tracks. It’s no longer fun and games, she feels something too.
I lean on my side and untie the blindfold, and it falls low. Her beautiful blue eyes slowly flick open and blink several times before a smile grows on her mouth.
Looking down at her, our eyes lock, and I don’t dare look anywhere else. “Hey there, beautiful.”
She drapes her leg over my hip and pushes me back until she’s on top of me and I’m lying on my back. “Hi there.” She leans down to plant a kiss on my lips.
But I like her under me, and I roll us over which causes Piper to giggle. “Tell me I get a raincheck on that whole outfit from earlier?” I ask.
“Sure. I’ll remember to pack it next time.”
“Fuck that. You can have a damn drawer here.” I reach my fingers between us to toy with her again.
Her eyes hood closed then open. “Why do you say things that don’t make me run away when they should?”
“Because it feels right to you. I leave that to fate.” I speak against the skin of her neck because my lips need to be on her, anywhere, just her.
The feeling of her fingernails gliding along my back is subtle, but I enjoy when she does it. There isn’t an inch of our bodies getting ignored.
She squirms underneath me and the tip of my cock is dangerously close to her opening, and I should take this opportunity to grab a condom, but her eyes have me kind of lost and we are simmering in a moment together.
Our relationship has been evolving throughout the last few weeks and months, and this is our moment of confirmation.
“It does feel right. I’m a little scared, but even when temporarily blind, I see you,” Piper whispers.
I give her a quick kiss. My entire body wants to mold into her as I slide my lips down the curve of her shoulder. “You were waiting for me.”
She hums in response as she rubs her pussy along my cock.
“Wait.”
“It’s okay,” she whispers. “Please, just…”
I cover her mouth with my own, and I’m diving in even deeper both literally and figuratively with what I feel for her.
My eyes close as I feel her warm pussy envelope around my cock, and her body curves into me as we both moan together.
It’s in that moment of entwined bodies that I realize what it is that has me completely at the grace of this woman when my plan was to have her at my mercy.
But I’ll show her now and explain later.
Piper rests her head against my chest, and I pull the blanket over us.
“Your hair smells like peppermint.”
She giggles under her breath. “Probably because my shampoo has mint in it.”
“It’s damn distracting. It’s a scent that keeps me alert.”
“My apologies, I’ll be sure to find a shampoo that puts you to sleep,” she says, sarcastically.
I squeeze her close against me. “It wouldn’t matter, I have my guard down around you anyways. It’s just that the mint reminds me to think clearer.”
Piper looks up at me with a brow raised, resting her chin against my pecs. “Penny for your thoughts, Hudson?”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better night. I’m happy you met Drew and Lucy, and you only reaffirmed my thought that you are capable of surprising me.”
Piper kisses quickly against my chest before moving to straddle me, her hair a wild mess. She clasps our hands together and rests them on each side of our joined bodies.
“He is right, you know. You should be careful.” She’s insinuating what she overheard earlier.
“Should I?” I challenge her. “Here’s the thing, Piper.
I’ve never been against the idea of relationships or love or walking into the sunset forever.
I know I want it. I just didn’t find someone who came anywhere close to being my other half.
Until you walked into my life with a fucking dancing-lobster umbrella. ”
Her breath hitches slightly. “What are you saying?”
I don’t like her being over me in this moment. I let go of her hands, grip her hips, and use my weight to flip us, tangling the sheet in the process.
“We’re happening. I think you feel it too. You put in the effort tonight, showing up, getting to know my kid, and hell, you didn’t run away. You may have looked like a deer in headlights once or twice, but you stayed.”
“I do feel it. It’s just…”
“April. But you will tell her next time you see her, or I swear to God that I will do it for us. Do you understand?” There is an edge in my tone that I think surprises her.
She slowly nods. “Okay. You’re right, it’s time.”
“Good.” I kiss her brow. “But not tomorrow. Tomorrow, you stay here and wait for me to come home.”
Piper reaches her hand up to touch my cheek as she smiles warmly. “I’m not sure I’m any good at wearing an apron and cooking dinner, but I can pretend.”
I growl low because the thought will keep me going tomorrow when I’m yelling at the new recruits on the field.
“I can have a chef come,” I offer.
She chortles and rolls her eyes. “I love how you say it like it’s nothing. But it’s okay, I’ll swing by Jolly Joe’s for coffee, work on my laptop, and pick something up from the grocery store.”
“Sounds good.” I lie next to her and let out a long breath. “Sleep. We probably need a few hours of that. I’ll try not to wake you when my alarm goes off.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere.”
I can’t help but taunt her. “You have really developed since that first night.” I smirk to myself.
She playfully slaps me then cuddles into my arms. “Funny, old man.”
“Ouch. You’re getting vicious.”
“Nah, just getting comfortable.”
And that’s exactly how I want her.
I rub my eyes and walk into the kitchen. The house is dark except for the small light next to the coffee machine that is on a timer.
Looking up from straightening my hoodie, I stop in my tracks when I see Piper leaning against the counter in only my shirt with my coffee thermos in hand.
“You really are trying to shock me in the kitchen these days, huh?” I say, and I’m completely adoring her even more. Walking slowly to her, I take the thermos she offers.
“Snuck down here when you were in the shower. Thought I could wish you a good day.”
I kiss her good morning and wrap an arm around her middle. “Next time join me in the shower.”
“Uh-uh. I think you have a schedule to keep, Coach.” She flashes her eyes at me.
“I’ll break every damn rule if it’s worth it.”
Our eyes meet and a brief silence overtakes us.
“I think it might just be.”
And I hear it in her floaty voice that her words mean us.
