Chapter 15
Cade
The instant Aspen’seyes softened, then proceeded to dilate, I knew I’d redeemed myself from the stupidity I’d blurted out without a thought to her sensitivities. I was such a tool sometimes when it meant sharing my emotions; but when I broke that barrier and got started, the words would spew out of me like a bad bout of verbal diarrhea. And they had.
The minute my mouth met Aspen’s, I knew tonight would be it.
Our initial reunion from my latest case had been a less-than-desirable event, but it had led us to this very moment, and I was going to take everything the woman in my arms was willing to give me.
Aspen eagerly licked at my lips, and I opened to allow her entrance, understanding what had happened earlier had culminated in a sense of loss of control, one I wanted her to reclaim. I groaned as she took possession, but all bets were off the moment she sucked my tongue into her mouth. There was only so much I could take.
In an abrupt move, I grabbed Aspen under her arms and twisted us to drop her to sit on the island countertop. Roughly pushing her thighs apart with my body, I wedged myself against her core, my hands grabbing on to her head, tangling into her hair. I took her mouth, devouring her, hopefully conveying the urgency of my hunger for her.
“Cade…” The need flooding her voice had me burning hotter as my lips began a delicious trail down her neck, the flavor of her skin urging me to discover what the rest of her tasted like.
“Pen…” My hands wandered down her back, holding her closer than close, firmly continuing their downward trajectory to her ass to pull her against my swollen cock, grinding myself into her, cursing the layers of clothes that prevented me from feeling her skin against mine.
“Take me to bed, Cade,” she begged, as I nipped her collarbone.
Her permission had me drawing back enough to gaze into her eyes. “You’re sure?”
The smile that spread across her face was one I’d only seen directed toward her laptop screen: that conniving and sexy little smirk. “Never been surer of anything in my life, other than when I made the decision to pursue publishing.”
Well, fuck me!
“Hold on.” I swear her eagerness had her moving to do just what I’d asked of her before the words were done pouring out of my mouth.
Aspen
There’s nothing sexier than the partner I was involved with taking control of the situation and the sheer display of masculinity in their physical strength. I wasn’t some spritely little slip of a thing and having Cade hold me in his arms with such effortlessness was the hottest thing I’d ever experienced. The way he wielded his body made me feel safe, cherished, and feminine; something I never thought I’d experience; both because of my size as well as the fact I was such a recluse.
He lightly deposited me on his bed, his body following to the mattress, covering mine as though he aimed to shelter me from some invisible storm. His lips gentled over my mouth, savoring me. Cade’s eagerness showed in his restraint, his tremoring muscles a dead giveaway to his growing hunger. The affect I held over this man was empowering to witness at such close proximity.
I was the first to reach for an item of clothing, shoving my hands down his back and under his shirt—fisting the bottom of it—and shimmying it up to his shoulders as he distracted himself with the top of my cleavage, the access given by how my shirt had stretched low due to the friction of our bodies.
The moment Cade pulled away to help get rid of his shirt as he straddled my hips, the urge to feel the firmness of his chest against the naked flesh of my tits became all-consuming. As he chucked the T-shirt off to the side, I did some half-assed crunch and peeled my own light sweater over my head, then reached for the back clasp of my bra.
I’d never been this brazen with a partner before, but the heat in Cade’s gaze—the way his body reacted to mine—had me wanting to bare myself to him, giving him back what he’d been giving me without knowing.
“Beautiful,” he whispered, his gaze skimming my chest and I swear I could feel it daintily scalding my skin like the softest of caresses.
“Yes…” I barely recognized my voice as I reached out a single hand, physically having to touch the Adonis before me. “You are.” A single finger tickled the soft, barely-there treasure trail that peeked over his low-slung jeans, sneaking under the edge of the material, gingerly rubbing the back of the digit against the warm skin hidden behind as our eyes connected.
His breath hitched, then his hands hurried to relieve some pressure by popping the button and unzipping his fly before he proceeded to fan the flames.
Grabbing my wandering hand, then reaching for the other, his fingers intertwined with mine as he raised them up by my head, pressing them into the mattress, all the while his eyes begging permission.
“Leave them there,” he rasped, once he realized I wasn’t going to fight him.
My mouth ran dry, rendering me speechless, so I nodded my response.
Backing away slightly, he let his fingers skim my inner arms, pausing to tickle the inside of my elbows, while his eyes followed his hand’s movements. Caressing my shoulders, a singular digit traced my collarbones before trailing lower to my breasts, my nipples pebbling at the sensation. I craved more.
The moment Cade’s warm wet tongue flicked one nipple and a hand pinched at the other, my back arched into him, demanding he continue.
“Delicious,” he managed before licking a path to my other breast, circling my other nipple with his tongue prior to sucking it into his mouth, inflicting the same treatment he had to the first. He moved the one free hand, that wasn’t propping him over me, down to my core and cupped my heat. Growling, he raised his eyes to mine. “I can’t wait to taste your pussy.” My hips flexed, searching for the pressure I needed to get me closer to release. “I’m willing to bet you taste best, right here.” His middle finger rubbed hard against my slit, the friction of material against my damp folds feeling amazing.
“Yes,” I panted.
In the quickest instant, Cade’s weight disappeared, and his calloused hands were yanking my yoga pants down my hips, along with my underwear, then he was right there!
“Cade!” I squealed, as he pushed his nose into the top of my folds, taking a huge inhalation of my scent.
“Fuck,” he groaned as a finger gingerly traced my slickened slit. “So fucking hot.” A lick from bottom to top had me whimpering. “So fucking wet.” His thumb flicked my clit, causing a full-body shudder to quake through me, then my arms moved down to my sides, fisting the sheets. “I’m going to eat you up so good, baby.”
“Mm—hmm-ungh,” was my response since my world had begun to spin on a new axis.
Cade
I’ve always enjoyed eating a woman out, but that first taste of Aspen’s essence had me on the verge of bursting in my pants. Her smell, the sweet tang of her juices, the way she responded to the minimal touch of my ministrations had me fighting the urge to skip all of the good stuff and get to the great, by shoving my dick inside her so deep. I’d make it so it would take us over the edge so hard and fast that neither of us would be able to tell what was up or down; scramble our brains so much, ultimately leaving us sated with the urge to start over on an endless loop.
As much as I wanted to get to the grand finale, it wasn’t the kind of lover I prided myself to be; it wasn’t right for any time in my book, but it sure as shit wasn’t right for my first time with Aspen.
My questing finger delved deeper, testing her readiness as I licked up one side of her pussy lips, down to the other.
“More!” she pleaded.
“More what?” I smirked up at her. Her fiery hair was spread wildly over my pillows, her head was arched back sexily, exposing her slim neck, eyes closed. “Look at me, Pen.” Her gaze snapped down to meet mine. “Tell me.” I pulled my finger out, joining a second into her heat, curving it upward until I felt the ribbed swollen tissue and made a light tapping motion before withdrawing. “Tell me what you need and I’ll give you everything.”
“That!”
“What, Aspen?” I repeated my double-digit penetration and subtle tapping, feeling her pussy flutter against my fingers, trying to keep me inside her as I pulled out once more. “This?” I added a long lick up her glistening lips, sucking lightly on her clit, grazing it gently with my teeth before blowing over the swollen nub.
“Yes!” she panted. “All of it. Please, please, please! Make me come.” Her eyes pleaded in total desperation. “Make me come in your mouth. I want to kiss you and taste myself.”
Holy shit!
This woman was the biggest wet dream come to life and as much as I liked the idea of giving her a little edging anticipation, I suddenly needed to see her unravel before my eyes as much as I wanted to shoot my load in her depths, flooding her with my cum. And when we were done, I’d then taste the mixture of us when we were both ready to go again by getting her to fall over the precipice with my mouth once more.
So, I hit that pussy hard, sucking her clit like a beast as I inserted two digits into her heat, going to town on that spongy bit of nerves I knew would send her into the stratosphere. She braced her feet on the mattress, further opening herself up to me. Her hips flexed into my face, spreading her juices into the scruff surrounding my mouth just as her hands snagged my head, pulling me against her.
She was so close, and with a singular command, she detonated for me.
Aspen
Because Cade had me so amped up, I never thought twice about flinching out of embarrassment when his agile fingers pulled from me, soaked to his forearms and dripping as he licked and sucked them. The look of utter pleasure and satisfaction beaming from his ruggedly handsome face, the fact the entire bottom of his face glistened with my wetness, only made me want to lick him all over with urgency. My thighs were still quaking from the strength of my orgasm, the sheets beneath my ass were soaked and I found myself limp yet still famished for more somehow.
What this man did to me. God!
Cade slowly backed away to stand beside the bed, his eyes never leaving mine. With warmth filling me at the heat in his gaze, it kept me focused on him—us—my body at a new level of boiling instead of feeling cold and bereft.
The man pushed his jeans down his hips, kicking the lot, including his underwear and socks, then turned to his dresser, retracting a box of condoms, and pulling a strip of rubbers from it while I gloried in the perfection that was his firmly chiseled ass.
I wonder how he’d react if I took a bite out of that thing?Where delectable derrieres were concerned, Albert Caden Summers won over any of my former partners, the various heroes in my books, and the cover models I’ve worked with in the past. Hands. Down.
I jumped out of my lust-filled daze when I felt the man of my latest obsessions push my legs farther apart as he crawled nearer. His hands smoothed up my body while his lips followed close behind, bringing me back up to a low simmer.
The moment his face was close enough to grab on to, I pulled his mouth up to mine, the subtle scent of my essence causing a flutter in my stomach and saliva to pool in my mouth. I took his lips in a ravenous kiss, plunging my tongue into his mouth to take what I needed.
“You taste fucking amazing, baby.” He groaned as he pushed his naked cock against my folds and flexed his hips, slickening things with the by-product of my previous orgasm. “I can’t fucking wait to be inside you; to feel you clamping around my dick, strangling it with that tight pussy of yours.”
“Do it,” I urged him. “I need to feel you inside me.”
He didn’t waste any time. Before I knew it, he’d grabbed the condom packet off the sheets next to my hip, made quick work of things, and was suited up.
Guiding my legs over his shoulders, he reached out for one of the pillows I wasn’t resting on, tapped my hip without words so I could lift, and shoved it under my ass.
With no preamble, he guided himself to my entrance, pushing in so the very tip of him was inside me.
“Oh God!” came out breathlessly.
“So perfect,” he gritted out between clenched teeth, pushing in a bit farther, then pausing once more. “Perfect for me.” His eyes snagged mine as he eased in until his balls were pressed against my ass.
“Yes…” The word was dragged out as I savored the slightly painful stretching sensation of my pussy around his length. The fullness. Those thoughts had me clenching on his girth, eliciting a hiss from him.
“Fuck, babe, I’m not gonna last if you keep doing that.” His hips pulled back as his hands soothed downward until he settled them at the junction of my thighs, a thumb coming to circle my swollen clit, causing me to twitch. “Ah yeah. Fuck!” he said, sounding marveled at the feel of us coming together.
“So good,” I muttered, my hands lifting to land on his abs, rubbing up his stomach to stop and tweak his hardened nipples.
“Baby…” he groaned, his eyes closing with enjoyment at my ministrations.
The combination of my light pinches and the flexing of my Kegels had Cade breaking.
“Fuck. Shit.” The expression in his eyes looked almost pained. He dropped my legs so the backs of my knees rested on his forearms and he leaned closer over me, thus spreading me even more open. “Hold on, baby. This is going to be fast.”
And he didn’t lie.
