Devil’s in the Details (42 page)

I placed a light kiss on her shoulder before moving to her neck. Kissing and running the tip of my tongue over the soft skin of her neck. I had no idea what to do, I just knew what I wanted to do. I felt Victoria's breath hitch when my lips moved over her neck and to the back. My fingers running slow circles around her stomach. God her skin was so warm and soft.

I continued to move my kisses down, over her shoulders and then down her spine. Watching the goosebumps rise from where my lips had been, I couldn't get enough, and kept on. I moved my hands from her stomach and back to her sides, holding her steady as I knelt and moved to her lower back. First kissing the unmarred side, before slowly moving to where her scar lay. When I was there, I placed one slow kiss on the ridges and bumps. That's when I heard my name fall from Victoria's mouth in a whisper. I swallowed hard, kissing the scar once more and whispering against her skin, "I want all of you, Victoria."

She turned in my grip, reaching down with both of her hands, Victoria held my face, looking down in my eyes. Hers were glassy, and full of so much emotion like they had been earlier in the morning, it made my heart swell. It was the look of pure love.

Victoria gently motioned me to stand back up, holding on to my face she searched my eyes, her face flush with desire. "Alex, are you sure?" It was a question that had a hint of struggle behind it. I raised my hand up, resting it on the side of her neck, feeling that she was struggling as much as I was. We were one step away from no return.

Bending forward, I brushed my lips against hers, murmuring, "Very sure."

Victoria groaned and closed the gap, kissing me hard. Her hands held my jaw steady as it increased in pressure, her tongue gliding over my bottom lip to ask more from me. I opened my mouth wider to let her in, physically and metaphorically. I dropped my hands to her side, moving to reach for her bra, when she pulled back suddenly, licking her lips and holding my gaze. "Trust me?"

I titled my head, hoping to hell and back that she wasn't going to pull the plug on doing this. Then it struck me, Victoria wanted to do this right. She wanted to show me, take her time. Clearly she had some sort of plan in her head for when the time came, but my beer and hormone soaked brain had blown that plan apart. I smiled, nodding, "With my heart."

Victoria closed her eyes, "Then let me."

I let out a shaky breath as her hands moved to the baggy V-neck I was still wearing. Grabbing the hem and pulled it over my head, then threw it to the floor and pushed me towards the bed until the back of my legs hit it and I fell back.

I went to stand back up when Victoria shook her head no, motioning for me to move further up as she climbed on and hovered over me. She bent down, and as our mouths met in a slow yet feverish pace, she wrapped an arm around my side to pull me and press against her warm skin.

Giving her access to the back of my bra, I felt her hand move quickly and unclasp it. I moaned against her mouth the second I felt her fingertips pull the material forward as she bent back.

Victoria broke off the kiss and held my eyes as she removed my bra, tossing it to the side, she waited a second before looking down at me. She let out a shaky breath, lifting her hand to my collarbone, drawing her fingers slowly down to my bare breasts. "Perfect, absolutely perfect."

I pushed forward, silently giving Victoria permission to do whatever she wanted. I was too far gone to want to stop. I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I just knew I wanted Victoria's hands everywhere and quickly. "Victoria..."

She smirked when she heard the quiet desperation, moving her hand to brush the underside of my left breast. She distracted me by running her thumb over my nipple. I gasped when I felt the delicate roughness and pushed into it, my eyes slamming close as I felt her breath move closer to my neck and back away. Victoria was good at this, the teasing game. It was driving me nuts that she was going so slow.

I went to open my mouth to tell her to hurry up, when I felt the tip of her tongue swirl around my nipple and then cover it completely with her mouth. I blew out a convoluted mixture of curse words, reaching up to run my hand through her hair. I tangled my fingers into soft blonde hair and held her against me. Biting my lip and pushing into her mouth. Feeling the familiar pressure build between my legs, I knew I was beyond aroused and was close to orgasm. I had to keep biting my lip to hold back, I wanted to make this last.

Victoria's hand left my other breast and trailed down to my stomach to the top of my jeans. When her fingers flicked open the button, she pulled away from my mouth, making me whimper in frustration. I was two seconds away from coming just from feeling her mouth on my breast. I frowned and looked down at Victoria, who was smirking up at me.

"Take off your jeans, Alex."

I gave her a look, forcing out, "If you take off your bra first."

Victoria's smirk grew, as she reached behind and unclasped her bra, pulling it off in one swift motion. I felt my frustration dissipate as I got a full look of what I had only glimpsed this morning. I whimpered uncontrollably and reached for her instinctively. My fingers running along the curve of her breast and over her nipple, I smiled when she gasped and grabbed my hand to stop me. "Jeans, Alex. Take them off."

I looked up in her slate grey eyes only to see them dark with desire. It was a look that told me that I would have plenty of time to touch her and explore her, but for now, Victoria was on a mission. I nodded, pulling my hand free from her, I lifted my hips up to pull my jeans off and kick them away.

Victoria moved over me again. Forcing me to lay back on the bed she laid one hand on my stomach and bent to place delicate kisses on my sternum. Moving up my neck and to my chin she paused, hovering over my lips she looked in my eyes. I went to reach for her head to pull her back down to kiss me, or do something, anything. I was starting to writhe under her, searching out any skin to skin contact that would get me closer to release. "Stop teasing me."

Victoria bent down, brushing her lips over mine whispering as her hand moved to between my legs and covered me, "Let me make love to you, Alex." She pressed her palm against me, groaning out a curse words softly as she felt how incredibly wet I was.

I almost came again hearing those words and feeling her hand, but I forced my body to wait. Wait for what was next, because it would be worth the wait. I held her eyes, nodding once that I understood, trying so hard not to push down on her hand, I let Victoria take over. She smiled, brushing her lips over mine as her fingers pushed the thin cotton of my panties out of the way. Kissing me as her finger ran down the length of me, making me almost pant at how incredible the sensations running through my body were.

I never had a lover be so gentle, so slow nor did I really ever submit to one like I was now with Victoria. That was how I knew I felt safe with her, that I was giving up my body to her and letting her dictate how this first time went. Even if it was painfully slow.

Victoria continued her slow kisses until I nipped her bottom lip, trying to tell her that I needed more, or I was going to go crazy. She parted from my mouth a millimeter and as I tried to move up to kiss her, I felt her fingers glide into me, sucking all of the air from my lungs at how it felt. My hips bucking up on their own, I knew I had seconds before the strongest orgasm I ever had, hit me. Victoria waited a second for me to adjust before slowly drawing her fingers in and out of me, her mouth hovering inches over mine sharing the same air with me.

I closed my eyes, wrapping my hands in the blankets around me. I couldn't focus, I was so overwhelmed by Victoria's fingers and what they were doing that I could barely breathe. She picked up the pace and when she pushed up, I came hard and fast, catching us both by surprise as a loud strangled moan fell from my mouth.

I literally saw stars and fireworks as my body rode out the wave of pleasure that went all the way down to my toes. I swore I even felt my heart stop for a few moments.

After the wave dissipated, I relaxed my body, shivering when I felt her fingers leave me. I went to open my eyes, feeling her lips against my forehead and on my cheek, before she whispered, "Are you okay?"

I grinned like an idiot and laughed, feeling like a pile of rubber, "Yes." I turned to see Victoria lying next to me, running her fingers through my hair to push it away from my face. She had a look of mild worry on her face, "Yes, I’m okay."

I reached over and pulled her hand down to sit on my heart, so she could feel it thundering in my chest. "That. Wow." I looked in her eyes, seeing the tiny clouds starting to form around the edges. I pushed up and leaned towards her, "Hey, come back."

Victoria looked up at me, "I hope I wasn't too..." she drifted off. It was the same thing she always did when she was afraid she was overstepping whatever imaginary lines she placed between us. I had to cut her off and let her know how wrong she was in this instance.

"Slow? Yes, you were a bit too slow, but aside from that." I bent down and kissed her deeply, "You were. Incredible." I kissed her again, licking my lips, running my eyes over her bare chest and feeling my second wind strike. I looked up in her eyes, smirking, "I have no idea what to do, but I do know those..." I pointed at her jeans, "Need to come off now." I reached down and plucked at the waist of her jeans.

The clouds receded and she cocked an eyebrow at me, "Eager aren't you?"

I nodded, moving to cup her breast, "Eager to taste every inch of you until I get it right." My new found boldness I could blame on post orgasm bliss, but I wouldn't. I wanted Victoria and I knew my instincts would guide me through mapping her body out, even if it took all night.

Victoria moaned and bit her bottom lip, "God, Alex."

I grinned, lunging forward to kiss her. I only had one goal in mind, to find what it took to get her to say that exact same thing as many times as possible.

Chapter 13

Alex's hands were surprisingly strong as she held my hips down against the mattress when I tried to arch up and wriggle free, her head buried between my legs. I kept biting my bottom lip to keep the moans at bay. Alex was definitely a quick study, a very determined quick study. Her tongue moved deftly and intently, replicating what I had done to her, but adding her own flare. With every stroke, she made me gasp harder and wiggle under her grip. I wanted to reach down, tangle my fingers in her hair and touch her, but every time my hands got near, Alex would grab them and push them away. Forcing groans from me at the lack of control I had

I had always been the more dominant one in the bedroom, taking charge for the simple reason I never wanted anyone to touch me or look too closely at my scars. But with Alex, I not only felt completely free with her after letting in, I felt completely at ease giving her control when she eagerly took it from me.

I went to reach again for the messy brown hair brushing against my inner thighs, when I felt two fingers join her tongue. It only took the sensation of her fingers entering me to give up holding back and I came hard, pushing down on her and feeling her fingertips dig into the flesh of my right hip bone. I let out a soft cry, and a whimper, entangled in Alex's name as my body became overwhelmed and short circuited from the third intense orgasm Alex had unleashed on me since my jeans came off.

As I took in deep breaths, trying to bring air back into my body and allow my heart to settle down, I felt her leave me, trailing soft kisses up my stomach, my sternum and finally to my collarbone as Alex laid her body flat against me. Grinning like an academy award winner, she kissed me quickly, murmuring against my lips, "Third time’s the charm?"

I chuckled, wrapping my arm around her as she settled between my legs, slowly pressing us together in a way that made me crave even more from the woman. "You could say that." I reached up, tucking some of her hair back behind her ear, "I feel you have an unfair advantage with your advance anatomical knowledge, nurse." I ran my hand down to her cheek, loving the way her eyes sparkled as they looked down in mine.

She shrugged, running her hand down the middle of my chest to rest underneath my left breast, "I was always a top student in all of my classes, the most observant in my anatomy classes." Alex kissed me deeply, running her hand over my nipple making me squirm, "But I think there is a lot more I need to study about your anatomy in particular, Victoria." She watched me react to her touch, grinning as her thumb ran slow circles over my nipple.
