Dance Like Nobody's Watching (Summer Lake 3) (16 page)

She looked up into his eyes. “What kind of
man do you want to be, Dan?”

“I want to be the man I am when I'm around
you. When I'm with you I know what to do. I know what I want. I can
see what you need and I can see what Scot needs, and I can make it
happen.”

She clung to him now. Her little hands on his
shoulders. “Can you see what I need now, Dan?”

He nodded. He could, and he was damned sure going
to make it happen. He scooped her up and carried her through to the
bedroom.

She smiled. “So you don't think this is
cheesy anymore?”

He shook his head. “I do not. I think it's a
great way to get you to what you need that much quicker.”
Instead of placing her on the bed, he climbed on himself and lay down
with her in his arms. “Are you sure about this?” he
asked. “This is your last chance to change your mind, because I
guarantee you I'm not going to be able to stop anymore.” The
look in her eyes told him all he needed to know.

“You'd better not even think about stopping,
hero!” She was already unbuttoning his shirt.

Missy's hands trembled as she unbuttoned Dan's
shirt. She'd waited so long for this. Hoped it would really happen
someday. Now she was here, in his place, in is bed, looking into
those big, brown eyes, now glazed with desire. She got his shirt
undone and pushed it off his shoulders. He shrugged out of it and
threw it. His warm mouth came down on her neck. She sighed as his
hands found their way inside her top. His callused fingertips felt
deliciously rough as they moved up over her ribcage. At the same time
his tongue burned a trail down her neck, over her collarbone. He
filled his hands with her breasts as his lips worked their way down
between them. He mouthed at her nipple through the fabric. She had no
clue how, but within seconds her top and bra were gone. His hot wet
mouth came down over her bare flesh, teasing the hardened peaks with
his tongue. She moaned and squirmed as she fumbled with his belt,
needing to get him out of his pants. She sighed as his mouth left her
breast, but it soon covered her own.

There was nothing slow or gentle about his kisses
now. His tongue plundered her mouth while his hands unfastened her
jeans and pushed them down over her hips. She struggled with his
belt, then his button and zipper. He broke the kiss to get rid of his
pants and pulled her jeans down and off. He rolled her onto her back
and knelt above her.

“You are so damned beautiful, Missy.”

She reached up to run her hands down his sides.
His cock jerked at her touch. She wanted to know about the tattoo,
but not now. “So are you.” She licked her lips. She'd
wanted this for so long, but now she was nervous. He looked so big.

“Are you okay?” His voice and his gaze
were so soft, he made her wetter.

She nodded. “Just be gentle with me? I'm out
of practice at this.”

He nodded and came down to kiss her again. He slid
his hand between her legs, making her moan. He barely touched her,
tracing his rough finger over her opening, circling her with the
slightest touch. She lifted her hips, wanting him to touch her fully,
wanting the pressure of his hand on her, inside her. He was driving
her crazy. She stroked her hand down over his abs, then closed it
around him. He throbbed in her hand. He was so hard and thick—what
was she supposed to do with all that?! He slipped the tip of his
finger inside her. She writhed on the bed, wanting more. She stroked
him from base to tip, but he pulled away from her hand, working his
way down, covering her body with little kisses ’til his face
was between her legs. He spread her thighs with his hands and gripped
them tight as he trailed his tongue over her. She yelped and tangled
her fingers in his hair as he repeated the motion then closed his
mouth around her and sucked. Oh, god! He had her at the edge already.
She tugged at his hair. She wanted to feel him inside her.

He came back up to lie beside her, his breath
coming fast. “You taste so good, don't make me stop.”

She closed her hand around him. “I want you,
Dan. I want to feel you.”

He nodded and opened the drawer in the nightstand
to get a condom. He tore the wrapper with his teeth, but Missy took
it from him. Her hands as she rolled it onto him. She lay back and
looked up at him. His body was amazing, lean and well-defined, narrow
hips coming down towards hers. He settled himself between her legs,
big brown eyes so tender.

“We only get one first time, Miss.”

She nodded, she'd waited long enough for it
already! Her need was almost feverish now, she couldn't speak,
couldn't even think straight. She put her hands on his shoulders and
spread her legs wide. He pushed at her opening, the very tip of him
pressing inside her, opening her up. He reached down and stroked her,
looking deep into her eyes as he did. She was desperate now for the
moment he would enter her. The look in his eyes and the touch of his
fingertips filled her with hot waves of pleasure. Then he plunged
deep and she felt as though she was spinning away into outer space,
his hard cock the only thing pinning her to reality as every thrust
stretched and filled her. She wrapped her legs around his as his
mouth sought hers. She gave herself up to the rocking of his hips,
thrusting into her, carrying her along. All she could do was cling to
his shoulders as their bodies melded into one and her orgasm shook
her. All the tingly excitement he'd filled her with for weeks burst
in a thousand tiny explosions as he laid claim to her body.

When she regained control, he slowed his pace,
slowly, sensuously pulling almost all the way out then just as slowly
filling her so deeply that it seemed he filled her soul as well as
her body, becoming a part of her in every way. His smile had never
looked more beautiful as he lifted his head and looked into her eyes.

“Come with me, Dan?” she breathed.
She'd never had an orgasm anything like he'd just given her, but she
wanted to share with him, go there together. He thrust deep and hard
and buried his face in her neck as he picked up his pace. Missy was
powerless as he swept her along, he owned every single cell of her
body and filled every last one with pleasure. She grabbed his ass,
hoping to take him with her as the mounting pleasure began to explode
again. She felt him tense, his thrusting harder and deeper still. He
found his release, taking her to new heights as he pulsated inside
her, their bodies soaring together.

Finally he slumped down. She rested her cheek
against his. “Jesus!” she muttered when she could catch
her breath.

He turned his head and smiled. “Nope, just
me.”

She wrapped her arms around him, loving the feel
of his lean, naked body. “Yep, just my hero.”

He grinned. “Like I told you, call me
anytime you need a hero.”

“Oh, I'll be calling you! Every day if this
is what I get when I do.”

He rolled to the side and got rid of the condom,
then pulled her to him, pressing his face into her hair. “Told
you we'd be worth the wait.”

“You did and you're not often wrong, but
that may have been an understatement.” She pressed closer and
kissed his soft lips. “That was unbelievable!”

His eyes twinkled. “Then we'll have to keep
doing it ’til I make a believer out of you.”

That sounded good.

His hand closed around the back of her neck and
she closed her eyes as his lips came down on hers. The way he kissed
her did funny things to her insides. He made her heart race and her
stomach flutter. She clung to him as she kissed him back. His hand
was firm around the back of her neck. She loved the feel of it. It
felt like he was in charge, like he had her where he wanted her, but
that wasn't scary or smothering, because it was where she wanted to
be. Eventually his lips left hers. He rubbed his nose against her own
with a smile, his fingers still stroking the back of her neck.

“You okay, beautiful?”

She nodded. “So much better than okay. When
you hold my neck like that, I feel like a little kitten.”

He grinned.

“You know how mother cats pick up their
kittens by the scruff of the neck and they just go limp? That's me. I
just go limp and you can do whatever you want with me. I might even
start purring, I'm that happy right now.”

He closed his hand tighter. “Whatever I
want?”

She nodded happily.

“In that case.” He reached into the
drawer and pulled out another condom. “Would you help me with
this?”

Her eyes widened. “Already?”

He tore open the package and gave it to her. “You
tell me.”

She rolled it on to him. “Not just already,
but more than ready!”

He lay on his back and pulled her on top of him,
closing his hand around the back of her neck again. “Whatever I
want, right?”

She nodded, her breath coming hard as she lay on
top of him, supporting herself with her hands. His hands closed
around her ass and drew her down as he thrust up inside her. “Oh,
God, Dan!”

He rocked his hips slowly. “Is this okay?”

She bit down on her lip and nodded. She hoped it
was, he was so big! She could feel him throbbing. He drew her down so
her breasts were in his face. He teased her nipples with the tip of
his tongue. At the same time he grasped her ass tight, holding her
still as he pumped up into her. Oh, God! What was he doing to her?
His mouth closed around her breast, sucking hard. His fingers dug
into her ass, squeezing and kneading as he held her against his
rocking hips. His cock thrust deep, stimulating the bundle of nerves
between her legs. The sensual friction in so many places had the
tingly pressure building inside her again. She may be on top, but
there was no question he was in charge, taking her exactly where he
wanted her—to another mind-blowing orgasm! She could feel him
getting closer, his thrusts and his cock harder as he squeezed her
ass tighter and his tongue tormented her breasts. The heat in her
belly exploded into an orgasm that had her gasping. His mouth on her
breasts sent electric currents shooting through her to connect with
his pulsing cock. She moaned as the sensations kept rolling through
her. He came hard, straining into her.

“Oh, God, Dan,” she moaned, and
collapsed onto his chest.

He brought one hand up to caress her neck, the
other still holding her ass, rocking her against gentle thrusts that
had her quivering and moaning as aftershocks shook her. She gasped as
he clamped her ass with both hands and rolled his hips one last time.

“Daaan!” she screamed as the last few
explosions had her seeing stars.

He kissed her neck. “Yes, beautiful?”

“What are you doing to me?”

He wrapped both arms around her, holding her tight
to his chest. “Whatever I want, just like you said I could.”

She slid off him and lay there spent. “I had
no idea you'd do something like that!”

He turned and put his arm across her waist,
nuzzling his face into her neck. “We're just getting started,
beautiful. That was the warm up. I told you you'd need all your
strength.”

She turned to look at him. That was more sex than
she'd had in years, and better sex than she'd had in...well...ever!
And he was saying they were just getting started?

His eyes twinkled. “But you can have a break
before we get to the real thing if you like?”

She nodded; she needed a break after that.

He tightened his arm around her waist and kissed
her cheek. “You're so beautiful, little Missy. So perfect.”

She shook her head. “I'm far from perfect,
Dan.”

“You're perfect for me. You can't say we
don't fit together perfectly.”

She couldn't. Despite her concern when she'd first
seen him without his pants, he did indeed fit perfectly. “We
do.”

He stroked his hand up over her rib cage and
circled her nipple.

“I thought you were going to let me have a
break?” His touch felt so good, but she needed a little time
before she'd be ready for more.

“Sorry. I did, didn't I?” He didn't
look sorry at all, but he did stop stroking her breasts. She wished
he hadn't. “Do you want anything? I have some beer and there's
pizza in the freezer.” His face fell. “I was going to
take you to this great little Italian place. I'm sorry. We could
still go?”

She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his
lips. “Don't you dare be sorry! There is nowhere on earth I
would rather be than right here, in your bed with you. You can't
seriously think there's a single restaurant in the whole world that
would have been better than this? Let's have a beer and some pizza,
and we won't have too far to go after our break?”

There went that smile again. “That's what I
love about you, Miss. You're so easy going. Thank you. Come on, I'll
get us that beer.”

She watched as he opened the fridge and took out
two beers. He popped the tops and handed her one.

“Thanks.” He opened the freezer and
she laughed when she saw it stacked full of pizzas and not much else.
“Is that really all you eat?”

He gave her a sheepish grin, “No, but it's
all I cook. We can order something better if you like?”

She shook her head. “You, beer, and pizza
are all I want.”

He put his hands on her shoulders and smiled down
at her. “Then you can have everything you want and as much of
it as you'd like. What kind of pizza?”

“Whatever you prefer. I like them all.”

He smiled. “Unless they've got olives on
them.”

He really had been paying attention. “I can
pick 'em off if they're there. I don't mind.”

“Shall we go with a Hawaiian?”

She smiled and nodded, it was what she usually
ordered.

While Dan got the pizza out, she wandered around
the place—it was huge. Stark white walls rose at least twenty
feet to the ceiling. A wall of glass looked out over twinkling city
lights. The whole place had a minimalist feel. The kitchen had a
large island which divided it from a huge living space with enormous
black sofas, steel tables and the biggest TV screen she had ever
seen. The place was...what was it? She could imagine it in the pages
of a magazine, or as the reception area of some fancy office
building. It was impersonal, that was it. She couldn't imagine Dan
living here. It didn't feel like anyone lived here. It was beautiful.
Expensive. But soulless.
