Chapter 14
14
Tovah would be lying if she said that having Eloisa hunt them down at the Gus Stop didn’t bother her. It had. More so than the words she’d used to try and cut Tovah’s confidence. The opinions of a small-minded, spoiled brat weren’t worth the effort it took to be offended. The fact Zach had jumped to her defense so quickly, now that had been worth everything. He’d meant it.
Of course, he did. Men like Zach didn’t say things they didn’t mean. He’d as soon not speak than say something that was in the least untruthful.
Zach slid his hand into hers and opened the door to the kitchen. They walked inside and suddenly nerves took the opportunity to explode in her belly. Flutters unfurled all up and down her body from stomach to throat.
They moved through the house, not stopping for any pleasantries or conversation in the living room but kept going until they stood in the master bedroom.
Zach finally stopped at the edge of the bed and turned to her. He’d left a light on, soft and sexy. An ambient glow to set mood, but only give the most rudimentary illumination to see by.
Not that he hadn’t seen every inch of her body before. The memory of which had heat spiraling down to pool liquid between her legs.
Zach wound his hands around her hips and pulled her closer to him. “I meant every word. You’re so fucking gorgeous you make me ache in places I never knew existed.”
“I can hold my own.” She smiled at him and ran a hand over his brow, then slid it down his face to rest against his mouth. “Kiss me.”
His answer came as a deep moan then his lips were on hers, taking, possessing. When he’d gotten what he wanted, he changed the angle of his head taking more.
The kiss went on and on, the counterpoint to each touch and stroke as they undressed each other.
Tovah sank to her knees and took his rigid shaft into her mouth.
Zach sucked in a breath that came out a ragged groan. “Mmmm, no matter how good that feels, I wanted to get you off first.”
Tovah looked up at him, his cock still buried in her mouth. She licked him all the way to the head as she pulled back. His eyes closed, but she kept staring at him until he opened them again. “We do have all night, don’t we?”
“Well, yes…”
“Then let me do this.”
“I will.” Zach pulled her up by the arms. “Later.” He leaned in and kissed her. “Because if I don’t taste you right now, I’m going to go insane.” He lightly pushed her onto the bed and got on his knees. After wedging his hands between her thighs, he opened her for him. “God in heaven, that’s beautiful.” His gaze was riveted on her center. Then he lowered himself down and licked her from back to front, stopping on her clit to tease and flick with his clever tongue.
Tovah arched her back, giving it all to him. With a hand on her forehead, she rode out the sensations, the pure delicious madness, of having Zach go down on her.
“Come for me, baby,” he breathed against her sensitive flesh.
“Not yet. It feels so good.”
Zach ran his palm over the plane of her stomach. “Tastes pretty amazing, too.”
An image came into her mind, only a flash but it was one that made her want to laugh. Vincenzo had never wanted to perform oral sex on her. Didn’t stop him from asking her to perform it on him on numerous occasions. Damn, but did she feel sorry for the woman he finally married, in more ways than one.
Zach reveled in the act. Earthy, lovely, open Zach. Tovah braced herself on her elbows to watch him. She watched the flash of his tongue as he flicked it over her again and again. Then he held her clit between his lips and sucked. Shudders racked her body as the orgasm crested over her.
His name was drawn out in a long sigh.
“That’s it, baby. Give me all of it.”
He slid one, two fingers into her and worked them back and forth until all sense was lost and the only thing she knew was the colored lights behind her eyelids as she fell again.
“I have to get inside you.”
Zach rose and moved to the bedside table and opened a drawer. He grabbed out a bright foil package and ripped it open with a savage expression on his face. “Stay just the way you are. Ass on the edge of the bed.”
He was thick and hard and the look in his eyes suggested she needed to hold onto something firm because he was about to fuck the ever-loving shit out of her. Somehow the idea didn’t make her nervous but stimulated her even more. Her nipples were hard points at the tips of her breasts. As she watched him stalk around the bed to her, she ran her hands over them, sending shockwaves down her body.
“Oh, yeah.” Zach leaned over her and kissed his way from one breast to the other, taking her nipples into his mouth and sucking them hard as he had her clit.
Tovah cradled his head in her hands, holding him there. The soft brush of his beard over her sensitive skin felt so good. So amazing. The hard jut of his cock nudged against the inside of her thigh as he moved. Then, without warning, he surged up and slid home.
Even being as wet and ready for him, she was overcome by his girth. He touched her everywhere at once, filling her completely.
Her back arched and her breath caught.
“Fuck, you’re tight. So tight.” He moved, not gentle, but a rocking that shoved her up the bed. Hard. Fast. Unrelenting.
He placed his hand under her thigh and lifted it high on his hip, then moved faster. Their bodies slammed together, loud, unrepentant. Almost violent in nature, but oh so good.
Never, had she been so totally possessed by a man. To feel as if his need for her was so great control was a foreign concept.
Zach sent his hand into her hair, grabbing a handful and forcing her head back to expose her throat. The harder he pulled the deeper he went, as if he used her hair for leverage. Tovah watched him through slitted eyes. The veins in his neck stood out as he doubled his effort.
God in heaven!
He had stolen her words, her breath, her very mind. Nothing remained but the movement of his body in hers. And still she wanted more. Craved seeing him fall. That moment suspended between crazed need and orgasm.
Tovah propped her foot on his ass. As he pumped, she pushed down, and sent her hips upward.
“Fucking, Christ, woman.” His breath was ragged. Hot. He bent over her and lowered his head to look between them. With his shoulders blocking the view she couldn’t see what he did, but knew he watched his cock moving in and out of her. The thought alone sent a ripple moving down her.
Oh, God, she needed to end this madness. With desperation, she trailed her hand down her body between them and found her clit.
“Fuck yeah, stroke yourself.” He glanced up. His pupils were dilated, large in his taut face. A low moan rose from the depths of his chest. “Come for me again.”
Tovah stroked in time with his thrusts then let the world fall apart.
Zach threw back his head and roared as he pumped into her. His cock contracted over and over, releasing his load into the condom.
“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” The words grew softer with each one. Then he rolled off Tovah, but took her with him, keeping his cock inside her.
Zach ran his hand through her silky hair to the ends. Curls tangled around his fingers. Breath was hard to draw in after that performance. Damn, he needed to take up running to improve his stamina.
Tovah lay in the crook of his arm, flushed and beautiful. Damn, she’d felt incredible—just as he knew she would. Better even.
All right, so he’d always loved slender women. But something could be said for one that was more substantial. One that matched him in carnality and lust. One that he didn’t have to worry about breaking her in two when he let out the reins and released the beast. Nope, Tovah had been right there with him.
Not once did she demand to be on top so he wouldn’t knock a hip out of socket or crush her into the bedding. Instead, she’d put her foot on his ass and pumped him harder. And damn if that hadn’t felt fucking amazing.
Zach moved his thumb from the edge of her eye down to the corner of her mouth. He lowered his lips to capture hers in a deep kiss that only managed to stoke the embers higher. Ending the kiss so he could rest a moment, he moved back to look into her face. “Worth the wait?”
She stretched like a lazy cat, lifting her arms over her head. The action brought her rose-tipped breasts up higher. He took advantage and lifted one, then lowered his mouth to tease and suck her nipple.
“Mmm, worth the wait and so much more.”
His cock stirred again. Hell, he hadn’t even pulled all the way out of her yet, let alone disposed of the condom. “Hold that thought.” He placed another lingering kiss on her nipple, then swirled it with his tongue before rising from the bed.
He went into the bathroom and removed the condom and cleaned off a bit. A quick look of his face in the mirror revealed the face of a freshly fucked man. No, better than that—he’d conquered Tovah Reese.
That was worth banging his chest like a silverback gorilla to prove he was the strongest. The king. Tovah was selective in her lovers and therefore so much more worthy of the winning.
After splashing some water on his face, he headed to the kitchen and grabbed the food plate and wine and carried it back to the bed.
Tovah was stretched out with her arms over her head, passed out over one of his pillows. Her knee was bent at a crooked angle which took up the entire center of the bed.
An unexpected smile filled his face. Another difference in dating a tall woman.
Wait. Dating?
Was this dating or simply sex?
He set the tray and wine down on the bedside table and lowered down to the bed careful not to disturb her.
A sleepy smile filled her face. “What took you so long? I almost fell asleep.”
“Almost? You were sleeping.”
“Nope. Not me.” She rolled over and ran her hand over his chest, then sent her questing fingers lower. “I plan to keep you going all night long.”
“Is that right?” Zach pulled her closer, then spoke into her ear. “What do you plan to do to me?”
Instead of telling him, Tovah slid down the length of him until she was down by his feet.
“All right. This might get interesting.” She had not only his full attention but that of his dick.
Slowly, she made her way up him, kissing, teasing, rubbing. The soft, full pillow of her breasts moved over his knees, thighs, and by the time she made it to his cock, he was hard as a rock. Never in a million years would he have thought he’d get turned on by a woman running her breasts over his kneecaps, but it had and all he wanted was to…
Oh, there. She pushed her breasts together, making a warm, soft cocoon for his erection. He pushed his hips upward. Tovah opened her lips so each thrust sent him into the wet heat of her mouth.
By the time he was on the edge of losing it, he was almost crazy. Did her fiancé not understand the gem he’d lost? How did a man let her go?
He was only glad the asshole had. A woman like Tovah was to be cherished and loved. Over and over again.
Suddenly, she was gone from him. A protest died on his lips when he looked into her eyes. The smile she gave him was crooked and sexy as hell. Feminine power radiated from her as she slid down the length of him.
He almost opened his mouth to warn that he wasn’t wearing a condom but the feel of her riding him bareback made his eyes close and the rapture come.
Tovah moved as hard on him as he had her. Those powerful thighs of hers clamped around his thighs in a sexy vise he didn’t ever want to break free. He steadied his hands on her hips and extended his hands, thumbs out. A few more inches and he’d be able to strum her clit.
The move was taken out of his hands, as she fell forward and grasped the headboard. Little mews and moans fell from her lips along with his name.
Everything about the way she made love was sexy as hell. Everything.
Zach slid his arms around her and pulled her thighs apart from behind then came up off the bed, thrusting harder, deeper.
A sob tore from her and then he felt her contracting all around him. And he was lost. Pure and simply lost to sensation. He would have pulled out if he’d been able to move. The prison she had him in was not one he ever wanted to leave.
In the aftermath, she lowered herself down onto his chest. “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be, baby. That felt good as hell.”
“I’m on birth control. If you’re wondering.”
“I wasn’t but thank you for saying.” He kissed the hair at her temple.
They did sleep then. Zach wasn’t sure for how long, but it felt good. The best sleep of his life. When he woke, he maneuvered himself out from under her and poured a glass of wine.
After that workout he needed more along the lines of a protein drink.
Lights flashed in the window from the street. Someone coming home late? Not on this street. His neighbors were usually all in bed and lights out by nine. Another reason he loved living in a neighborhood of seniors.
Zach rose and looked out the window. A car he didn’t recognize was parked on the street a few houses down. Maybe someone’s family was visiting and got in late. Strange but there were no welcoming lights on any of the porches.
He backed away from the window.
“Come back to bed. I’m cold.” Tovah’s eyes were still closed, but her mouth was drawn into a fuckable pout.
She didn’t have to ask him twice. He took a cover out of the cedar chest and spread it out over her before laying down next to her.
As he gathered her close, he worried that the shit was about to hit the fan.
