Double Coverage (25 page)

His lips caressed hers, sending bolts of sensual electricity down to her core. Every last part of her body throbbed with need and she felt like she couldn’t get close enough to Mason. She gripped his head and brought his lips close, so he was practically bruising her with his mouth. She didn’t care; she wanted more. She needed this man, as if he was her drug of choice. She didn’t care about consequences; she needed him and she needed him now.

She opened her mouth and invited him in. Each stroke of his tongue against hers made her throb even harder. She knew she was wet and ready for him. She wanted him to touch her all over, she wanted to explore his body and take what she’d wanted so desperately that night on the beach.

She moved her hands to his shirt and tugged it over his head, undershirt and all, revealing his perfectly sculpted Adonis body and his body art. He was beautiful and so perfect. She sighed as she took him in, making him chuckle.

“You are so damn hot,” she said, while moving her hands from his pecs to his shoulders.

“Same to you, babe.” He moved his hands to her back and popped her bra open, letting her breasts bounce free. He took her bra off and marveled at the sight of her bare breasts. “Fuck me, you are gorgeous.”

“I plan to,” she said with a saucy grin.

Mason ran his hand over his face, gathering his composure, then attacked her. He laid her down on the pool table and unbuckled her shorts. He slowly slipped his hands under her waistband and played with the fabric of her thong, while he drove her crazy with kisses across her body. When he sucked her nipple in his mouth, she cried out in pleasure. If he kept that up, she was going to cream herself before she even got a chance to get a good look at Mason in all his glory.

Gathering strength, she sat up and worked on pulling down his jeans. Once he was out of his jeans, she took a good look at him. The thin fabric of his briefs didn’t leave much to the imagination. She tore them down and released him. Piper’s eyes widened as she took him in.

“Oh my…”

Mason grinned at her while reaching down and grabbing his wallet. He set it next to them on the pool table. She watched his muscles ripple with each movement and thanked the strength team at the Stallions training center for producing such a beautifully sculpted man. She ran her fingers over his new tattoo, marveling at the contrast of the white ink against the black.

“It looks so good.”

He trailed the same tattoo on her collarbone and said, “Yours looks better. It’s sexier.”

She looked into his chocolate-brown eyes and brought her hand up to his face so she was cupping his cheek and rubbing her thumb against his bottom lip.

“You’re so sexy, Mason. I know you don’t need to hear it because your ego can’t get any bigger, but you are sexy as hell.”

“My ego has taken quite a beating this past year, so to hear those words come from your gorgeous lips means more to me than you will ever know,” he said sheepishly.

Piper knew it wasn’t the time to bring up Brooke, but she couldn’t help herself. “There’s a screw loose with Brooke. She was crazy to leave you.”

His eyebrows shot up at her proclamation. “Is that right? Does that mean there might be a possibility for something to happen between us?”

Flashes of Jax entered her mind, making her feel incredibly guilty for where she was, who she was with, and what she wasn’t currently wearing. Panic set in and she realized that what she was doing was so incredibly wrong that she hopped off the table and started looking for her bra. Mason stopped her before she could get very far.

“Don’t, don’t bring him in here. It’s just you and me Piper.” He caressed her face and brought his lips down to hers, slowly nipping away until she forgot where she was again. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he pushed her back on the pool table.

“It’s just you and me babe, no one else.” Piper nodded her head, agreeing with him. “Now, you mentioned something about me being sexy?”

Piper giggled against his mouth and slowly worked her hands down his body, putting all thoughts aside for the moment because she wanted to be with Mason, even if it was only for one night. Her body was calling to him; her soul was reaching for him and she couldn’t deny herself any longer.

His hands moved up her body as he kissed down her neck. He cupped her breasts at the same time, making her moan in delight. His hands were so big that they covered her entire breasts, turning her on even more. Her breath became ragged as he slipped his head down to her breasts and started working them with his tongue. Each lap and suck on her nipples had her begging for more. Her body felt like it was floating and there was only one way to get her down and that was Mason.

His hands worked their way down to her shorts and panties and tore them off her legs so she was completely bare to him. He sat up and took her nakedness in. He blew out a ragged breath in response.

“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dreamt of this moment, of you being naked in my arms. Now that it’s here, it doesn’t even compare to what I conjured up in my head. You are perfect Piper, so fucking perfect.”

If it was possible for a person to erupt in flames, then she just did. His words set her core on fire, making her need for him that much stronger. She tried to pull him down closer, but he was taking his own sweet time. He kissed her all the way down her stomach until he reached the tattoos on her hips; he gave each tattoo a kiss and then looked up at her with a grin.

“My favorite tats in the world.”

“Mason…please,” she squirmed.

“So impatient. What do you want baby?”

“You to fuck me, please Mason…”

He grinned at her again and lowered his mouth so he hovered right above her core. The muscles that helped her breathe were paralyzed at the moment; no air was coming in as she anticipated the touch of Mason on her most sensitive part. Mason stuck his tongue out and teased the skin right above her mound.

“Fuck…Mason.” She squirmed, trying to connect his tongue with her folds, but struggled since he was holding her hips down. When she thought she couldn’t take it anymore, he dove in, spreading her legs farther than she thought they could go and licking her until she thought she wouldn’t be able to see anymore. It happened so fast she wasn’t ready. She screamed his name, literally screamed as her hips convulsed against his tongue.

She heard rustling when she was trying to come back down from heaven and felt Mason flip her over on her stomach so she was now bent over the pool table. He leaned over her body and she felt the first nudge of his erection against her body, making her even wetter than before in anticipation of him being inside of her.

He leaned over her ear and said, “I want you to stay bent over, but I need you to spread your legs. Can you do that for me?” She nodded and spread her legs for him. He was being a little bossy, but she didn’t seem to mind. “Perfect.” He gave her ass a slap, sending sparks straight to her core and making her moan.

“You like that?” Piper didn’t say anything because she was too embarrassed at her reaction. She didn’t want him thinking him spanking her was a turn-on. Before she could respond to his question, he slapped her ass again, this time on the other cheek. She bucked her ass up in the air and buried her head in her hands, once again moaning.

“Fuck, that’s hot, Piper.”

He pushed her head down further, raised her hips and played with her opening. She was so ready for him and she wanted him, now.

“For fuck’s sake, Mason…”

She felt him chuckle on top of her and she was just about to turn around and slap him for torturing her so much when he fully inserted himself in one swift move. They both screamed out in ecstasy. Mason held himself still so Piper was able to feel the full effect of his erection inside of her. She had never felt so full in her life.

Wanting to move and feel more of him, she started to rock her hips. He quickly stopped her.

“Don’t move.”

“Mason, please I want to feel you.”

He groaned as she felt his head against the back of her shoulder. “Baby, please don’t move. I’m trying to gather myself. If you move, I’ll explode in two seconds.”

“Oh?” Piper smiled to herself and started rocking her hips as much as she could. Payback is a bitch, she thought.

“Damn it Piper…God, I’m going to fucking come; stop moving.”

She couldn’t if she wanted to because he just hit her pleasure spot and she was about to go over...once again. She moved her hips one last time and started screaming his name. Her inner walls contracted around Mason and he yelled in frustration.

He grabbed her hips tighter and pumped hard into her as she felt his release. He slumped over her and kissed her back, where the birds flew across her spine.

“You vixen.” She felt him smile against her back. He pulled out and deposited the condom in the trash next to the pool table. He looked back at her and gave her a huge grin. He held out his hand and pulled her in close to his chest, kissing her on the forehead. “We are doing that again. Come home with me?”

His face was grinning, but his eyes were vulnerable; if she said no, he might crack into two. She couldn’t do that to him and she didn’t want to. She wanted to spend the night with him and see what it would be like to have Mason for one whole night all to herself.

“Where do you live?”

“Only a couple blocks away.” He picked her up and started walking toward the door.

“Mason! We’re naked.”

He looked down at both of them and shrugged, heading for the door again.

“Oh no you don’t!” She was able to wiggle herself loose from his grip and took off for her clothes. They spent the next half hour chasing each other around the bar naked, making out on separate occasions and then finally walking to his apartment, holding hands. Being with Mason felt so right, so effortless, as if she had known him forever. She tried not to think about what that meant; she just wanted to spend one night with him and she did, making love every which way possible and in every room available.

Chapter 13

Hannah gripped the bottle of wine she got for her and Todd in one hand with her purse and unlocked the door to her apartment. Piper covered for her for the last part of Hannah’s shift so she could spend a romantic night with Todd. Last night, they had spent their time together holding each other and making love; she planned on doing a repeat.

She was so thrilled to have Todd home and she was thrilled that he made a solid commitment to her. For once, she felt like their relationship was moving forward and, to top it off, he told her last night that he wouldn’t have to leave for work for a little while, so she was excited to have Todd all to herself for days on end.

She walked into her apartment and almost dropped the wine that was in her hand. Sitting in the middle of the living room floor were Todd’s garment bag and carry-on laptop case. Was he leaving again?

“Todd?” she called across the apartment, as she set her purse, keys, and wine on the table in the entryway. “Todd?” she called again, looking around the apartment.

Todd came out of the bedroom, wearing one of his impeccably tailored grey suits, a white dress shirt, and a deep blue tie. His blond hair was slicked back, like usual, and he looked ready for business.

Hannah felt her lip start to tremble. “Todd, what’s going on?”

He looked at her regretfully. “Sorry sweetheart, but I have to go.”

“What? No, you just got here. How on earth do you have to go again?”

“I just got called and have to be in New York for a meeting tomorrow. I’m sorry.”

“Can’t someone else go? You just got here; I planned on spending the night with you, drinking wine and…you know…” she trailed off, too embarrassed to say making love to him. “I just don’t think it’s fair that you have to be the one who keeps flying around when there are plenty of other people who can go around doing the same thing you do. Why do you always have to be the go-to guy? I think you’re being used because they know you won’t ever say no; maybe if…”

“Hannah!” Todd shouted. “Shut up!”

Hannah almost stumbled back from Todd’s anger and hateful word. He had never talked to her like that and it scared her that she had never seen that side of him. She didn’t like that he could flip a switch on her so fast and change his mood dramatically. She didn’t know what to say, so she just stood there.

Todd grabbed his bags and started heading for the door. Hannah didn’t want him leaving on such bad terms, so she went after him.

“Todd, wait! I’m sorry. I was just so excited…”

He turned around and the man that looked her in the eyes was not that man she knew and loved. The man staring at her was angry, with a hint of scary lacing his pupils. His jaw was clenched tightly when he talked to her.

“I told you not to bother me about my work. I’m working to provide for us so you can have fancy things and not have to be a bar maid anymore. Don’t you want something better for your life than waiting on tables?”

Ouch that hurt. Hannah knew her job wasn’t the most valued job, but she enjoyed the people she worked with, the money was decent, and she liked the patrons who came in.

“I only want you. I don’t care where we live, what we have, or how much money is in the bank.”
