Chapter 28
“Maybe I’ll just have to do less of what I’m told,” she said to him teasingly as he lifted her T-shirt up so he could kiss his way along her stomach.
Wow. That felt crazy good.
“Ooh, yes, baby. Do that,” he told her. “Then I’ll get to spank you for being naughty.”
The man was obsessed with the idea of spanking her.
He pulled the T-shirt up over her head, leaving her just in her panties on the bed.
He stared down at her so hungrily that she didn’t even have a chance to be worried about how she looked, or if he liked her near-naked body.
No, she could see on his face exactly how much he wanted her. And her self-esteem rose along with her confidence.
He really did find her sexy.
“Right now, you’re being such a good girl. You deserve a reward, don’t you?”
He moved over her, resting his hands on the bed on either side of her shoulders, before leaning down to take her nipple into his mouth. Then he sucked.
Oh God, that felt so good. She let out a cry as she arched her back. He moved one hand to her other breast, playing with her nipple as he continued to nibble and suck on her other one.
She swore she nearly came just from the nipple play alone. By the time he finished, she was breathing heavily, her body shaking.
“Poor baby. You need this so badly, don’t you? Don’t worry, I’m going to take care of you. I’m going to take good care of my girl.”
Then he stripped off her panties, and her breath caught in her lungs. This was really happening.
He kneeled between her spread thighs. Then he placed his hands on her inner thighs, pushing them even further apart.
Holy moly, he was looking at her, wasn’t he? Staring right down at her pussy.
“That is such a beautiful sight,” he told her.
She really didn’t see how it was. But the look on his face had her keeping that to herself. He moved his mouth down her stomach, getting closer and closer to her pussy.
Anticipation had her breath stuck in her throat as she waited for him to reach her clit. But he simply laid kisses along the top of her mound before moving to where her thigh started.
That area was so sensitive. More sensitive than she’d thought.
Finally, his mouth drifted toward her slit, and he ran his tongue slowly along it. He flicked it several times, and she cried out in surprise.
That was like nothing she’d ever felt before, and she wanted more.
“My girl likes that, doesn’t she?” he murmured.
She nodded frantically. She did. She really, really did.
“What color are you at, baby?”
What was he talking about? What did he mean, what color was she at?
“Green, yellow, or red,” he prompted. She could feel his breath against her folds.
And she wanted him to move his mouth lower back over her clit to suck it strongly, to send her flying.
He teased her, moving his tongue lower and lower. What was he doing?
Then suddenly, his tongue pushed inside her, and she let out a gasp.
“I love how reactive you are,” he told her. “I love that I can instantly tell whether you like something or not.”
She wasn’t doing anything special, just letting her body react to his touch. The way he touched her so gently, so softly, as if she was precious, as if she was everything.
It meant everything to her.
He loved her.
She gave that a moment to sink in, to wrap around her heart. Nobody ever loved Lily. She was a puppet for her mother to use, someone for Rick to have on his arm, to say and do the right things. For Clem, she was just that annoying sister.
No, people didn’t love Lily, but he did. And Harvey wasn’t a man who said things that he didn’t mean. He wasn’t a man to be easily fooled.
She let the happiness of that fill her until it was overflowing. Lily never thought she could ever feel this happy, this fulfilled. This safe.
Harvey moved his tongue away, back up to her clit, and then a finger slid inside her. Oh, God. She hadn’t thought that things could feel better. That she could actually get more turned on, but she was. She clenched down on his finger, but it wasn’t nearly enough. She wanted more.
“Shh, baby. Easy. I’ve got you. I’m going to take good care of you, I promise.
Just give me a bit more. Just a bit more.
” And he added a second finger. His tongue moved a bit faster on her clit, back and forth.
Then he slowed down, and she let out a whimper.
This was pure torture. She couldn’t think of any other word to describe it.
And she didn’t think she could take much more. How much could a girl be expected to endure before she got to come? Her hands clenched into fists around the bedding underneath her, and her head slid from side to side.
Then his tongue moved faster with firm flicks that sent her soaring higher and higher, until she reached that peak. Only this was a peak she’d never gotten to before. She’d experienced orgasms, but they’d been soft, fluttery things that had left her feeling a bit unfulfilled afterward.
This orgasm was nothing like that. It blew the others out of the water.
She actually screamed as she flew over the edge.
It was a noise she’d never made during sex before.
In fact, she was having a lot of firsts tonight.
The first time somebody had ever put their mouth and tongue on her pussy.
The first time anyone had ever offered to make her come without expecting something in return.
The first time that someone had made her feel beautiful, precious, and safe.
She floated back down to Earth. Her body was in a weird state of dreaminess, and yet she was fully aware of him touching her.
However, she wasn’t sure she liked it. He was rubbing his hand up and down her belly, but it didn’t feel quite right. She felt too . . . free.
It sounded silly. She was safe here in bed with just him.
There was no danger, and yet her heart was starting to race. Her skin was growing tight.
“Hey, you’re all right,” he told her in a soothing voice. “You’re here with me. You’re safe. I have you.”
The words were just what she needed to hear. But her skin still felt overly sensitive, and she tensed slightly. She felt like she needed to run and hide to keep herself safe.
“Lily?” he asked as she slid out of bed and headed toward the bathroom.
She wanted to stay. She wanted to just be normal for once, but her skin was crawling.
And she had no idea why. Maybe a shower would make her feel better. She glanced at the clock. God, it was after midnight.
This was ridiculous. Go to sleep, Lily.
“Hey, stop and tell me what’s going on.”
Glancing behind her, she watched him get out of bed and immediately felt guilty. He needed his sleep as well. Walking over to her, he turned her toward him, his hands on her arms. This time his grip was firm, not soft and fleeting, and she started to feel better. Her tension and stress eased.
His gaze narrowed. “You like that, don’t you? Was it the way I was touching you? The soft touch?”
“I usually like it. But my skin feels so weird, so sensitive, and I feel the need to run, to hide. I don’t know what’s going on.”
He drew her close, wrapping his arms around her. Oh God, that felt so much better. She felt herself start to settle.
“It’s all right,” he told her. “I know what’s going on.”
Well, she was glad he did because she sure didn’t.
“Sensory overload,” he told her. “It’s like your nervous system just can’t quite take everything. So you go into freeze or flight mode.”
“So, you’re saying I really do have an issue with my nervous system?” It was meant to be a joke, but it didn’t really come out like that.
“If it helps, it happens to a number of people.” He just held her tighter. “What we have to do is lower your heart rate and your cortisol levels. Is me holding you tight like this helping?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Good. So next time you have an earth-shattering orgasm, instead of touching you lightly or letting you run, I’m just going to hold you really tightly, okay?”
“Okay,” she said hesitantly. He just kept holding her for a long time, then he picked her up, carrying her back to the bed.
He lay on his back and positioned her so she was lying on top of him once more.
Then he wrapped his arms around her, and she started to breathe easier. Her body was finally relaxing.
“You were such a good girl to let me do that. God, you tasted so good. There’s a problem we’ve got now, though.”
Right, the fact that she went cuckoo after coming. She got it.
“Yep. The problem now is that I’m addicted to your taste, which means I’m going to want to do that all the time. We might have to get you a chastity belt or something to keep me off you.”
That was not what she’d expected him to say, and she leaned up, staring down at him incredulously. Her legs fell on either side of his hips, so her pussy was pressed against his lower abs.
She suddenly realized that she hadn’t seen him completely naked, and she really, really wanted to.
“A chastity belt to keep you from putting your mouth on my pussy all the time?”
“To keep me from eating you out all the time.” Then he licked his lips. “Yep, that’s going to be a real problem. I seem to have some impulse control issues when it comes to you and that delicious pussy of yours.”
She smacked both hands down on his chest, giving him an exasperated look. “Harvey, you seriously cannot say stuff like that.”
“I seriously can,” he replied. “And I just did.”
Harvey grabbed hold of her, rolling them both onto their sides so they were facing one another.
“Now, it’s time for some sleep. I’m going to go to sleep with the taste of you on my tongue.
I’m pretty sure I’ll sleep like the dead.
But I want to know that you’re going to sleep first.” He cupped the side of her face with his hands, staring down at her.
She could already feel the fatigue washing through her, and she nodded, her eyes growing heavy.
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I can sleep now.” She closed her eyes as he brushed his lips over her forehead. “Good girl. Now, do as you’re told and go to sleep.”
