Moving Target (14 page)

"Lie back," he said.

Ani sucked in her breath, her heart pounding. As she lay on her back, he hooked her legs over his shoulders.

He paused. "Does that hurt? Your cuts?"

She shook her head. "Nothing hurts right now. Except for how badly I need you."

He smiled and slid his hands under her ass again. She stilled for a moment—his fingers were so close to her scars.

But then she couldn't think and nothing seemed to matter. Her thighs quivered as he kissed the inside of one of them. He licked small circles along her skin, moving in closer to her folds.

When he reached her mound, he took an audible breath. "You smell so good. I've been wanting to taste you for so long."

She whimpered and squirmed. They were actually doing this. In her fantasies and wet dreams she'd pictured him with his head between her thighs, but now it was real. It wasn't her imagination anymore.

Daniel dragged his tongue along her slit and she arched off the bed with a cry. His tongue. Her folds. She couldn't begin to describe the feelings rushing through her. His hands were still under her ass and he pressed his mouth tighter against her sex.

Ani's mind whirled and she gripped the bedcovering to either side of her. If she didn't she just might spin right off the bed.

She'd thought her body was on fire before—now it was a blazing inferno. A powerful orgasm coiled within her but he paused and she almost screamed.

"Do you like that, honey?" He gave her clit another swipe with his tongue, then kissed her mound.

"Are you nuts?" She squirmed some more, wanting his mouth back on her. "Of course I like it."

He gave a soft laugh and withdrew one of his hands from beneath her ass cheek. He slipped two fingers into her core and began pumping them in and out, his knuckles hitting her folds, and she groaned.

"How about that?" he said in a teasing voice.

Ani gave him her best glare. "I'm going to kill you, Daniel, if you don't finish what you started."

This time he snorted back a laugh and lowered his mouth to her folds. His stubble chafed the inside of her legs and she clenched her thighs tighter around his head. The feel of his tongue and mouth on her clit while he thrust his fingers in and out made her eyes roll back in her head.

Heaven, sheer heaven.

A moan started to rise up in her throat.

"Not too loud, baby," he murmured against her slick folds, "we don't want to be heard."

Oh—the Deputies outside the door.

Thoughts of them vanished in a hurry.

Sensations combined to put her on overload. Perspiration coated her body. Fire licked at her veins. Heat burned beneath her skin.

Her orgasm began building and building. She could barely breathe as she felt the power of the on-coming firestorm.

She had to bite her lip to hold back the cry that tried to escape her as her climax slammed into her. Shaking, her hips bucking against Daniel's face, she gripped the bedcovering tighter. She held back another cry and whimpered instead as wave after wave of heat rolled through her.

He took long swipes with his tongue, from the soft spot below her folds all the way up to her clit.

"Okay, okay." Her breathing was hard and fast. "You can live now."

Daniel chuckled and slipped her knees from his shoulders. Ani didn't think she would be able to move on her own. Her mind spun as he took her by her hands and brought her to a sitting position.

Still on his knees, he carefully cupped her injured face in his hands and brought his mouth to hers in a fierce and completely dominating kiss. She was so sated she felt like she was melting in his grasp. The taste of herself on his tongue was different to her. She'd never had a man go down on her, and again she thought of heaven, reliving in her mind the finest details, what Daniel had just done to her body with his mouth and fingers.

He took both her hands and drew her to her feet as he stood. She sank against him, her knees wobbly and her body limp.

She still felt the convulsions in her core and the prickling of heat on her scalp. If this was what it was like to have him bring her to orgasm with his mouth, she could just imagine what it would be like to have him inside her.

Ani ran her hands over his chest, her heart pounding as she felt his skin beneath her palms. A light sprinkling of dark hair was soft beneath her hands. It pleased her as he groaned while she explored his body by touch. When she laved his flat nipples with her tongue, she was rewarded with the tiny nubs tightening beneath her touch and hearing him suck in his breath.

While she explored his body, he rubbed his hand up and down her shoulder that wasn't bruised. She liked the feel of his biceps beneath her palms. He was so strong, so virile, all man. His abdomen tightened beneath her fingertips as her hands neared his groin.

She could be just as much a tease as he'd been. She smiled and twisted her fingers in the curls around his cock. She heard him catch his breath. Rather than touching his erection, she moved her palms back up his chest until she wrapped her arms around his neck.

His breathing sounded more labored as he held her close. "You feel so good in my arms, Ani."

She gave a soft little moan as her hard nipples brushed his chest and his erection rubbed her belly. She snuggled against him, her face against his warm skin, letting his delicious scent fill her senses. "It feels so good to be right here with you,"

she said with her eyes closed.

"I can't tell you how much I've wanted this." His voice was husky and she heard the stark honesty in his words. "How long I've wanted you."

Butterflies went crazy in her belly at his words. She opened her eyes, tipped her head back, and looked into his gaze. "I've imagined a moment like this with you, so many times. To be here with you—it's amazing."

The expression on his face was one of carnal need, and something else she couldn't discern. He took her mouth in a hard, fast kiss that literally took her breath away.

When Daniel drew back from the kiss, his heart twisted at the look in Ani's eyes. He could read so much in them—how much she desired him and how much she cared for him. But did it go beyond that?

Before he knew what she was doing, Ani slipped out of his arms. She ran her palms down his chest and abs and knelt in front of him.

She brought her mouth directly in front of the head of his cock. He stilled. Almost tentatively, she reached up and wrapped her fingers around his erection. He closed his eyes, lost in the sensation of her hand slowly moving up and down his length. Her other hand cupped his balls and he groaned.

But when he felt her hot, wet mouth slide over the head, he just about lost it. If this was how her mouth felt, how would it be to have his cock buried deep inside of her?

Every ache and throb in his body vanished as he just let himself feel Ani and what she was doing to him.

Daniel opened his eyes to look down and meet her gaze as she slipped him in and out of her mouth. He bunched his hands in her hair as she began to bob her head, moving one of her hands in time with her mouth. With her other palm she cupped and lightly massaged his balls. She licked and sucked him as she worked magic with her hands.

Heat suffused his cock and balls as she continued licking and sucking him, and she kept her gaze focused on him. The world was centered in his groin and he started to shake. That world was beginning to tilt on its axis.

"Ani." He tried to stop her but she kept on giving him the best head of his life. "I'm going to come if you don't stop. Now."

Damned if she didn't smile around his cock.

All sensation exploded in his groin as his semen squirted into her mouth. He had to bite the inside of his cheek to hold back a shout. She didn't stop and he saw her throat work as she swallowed.

His vision blurred as she continued to work him, drawing out every bit of come. He felt like the floor was going to collapse beneath him.

When he couldn't take any more, he drew Ani up, brought her against him, and gripped her tight. That climax had about knocked the wind out of him and he took a few moments to catch his breath.

"You are so beautiful." Daniel caressed the back of her uninjured cheek with his knuckles and smiled. "Everything about you. From the first time I met you I knew I was in trouble." He released her face and took one of her hands in his.

Ani gripped him tight and let him lead her to one of the beds. She eased onto it with her back against the bedspread. For a moment he just looked down at her. She was gorgeous. Her dark hair was a wild mass down to her shoulders, her lips were swollen from his kisses, her body pink wherever he'd touched her. Her nipples were large and extended from his attention. Even with all the bruises and scratches, he'd never seen anything, anyone, so beautiful in his life.

"Daniel?" she said, nervousness in her eyes.

"I'm just looking at the gorgeous woman I'm going to make love to." He knelt on the bed and eased between her thighs, spreading them apart so that he could clearly see her pussy and the dark triangle of hair on her mound. He wanted to lick her clit again and bring her to another orgasm, but he had to be inside her, he had to take her until she cried his name.

Ani couldn't believe how hard Daniel was again after just having climaxed. She could still taste him and she swept her tongue along her bottom lip.

The bed sank under his weight and the springs creaked as he moved up between her thighs. She caught her breath, waiting for the moment she'd feel him deep inside.

Instead he braced his hands to either side of her chest and lowered his mouth to hers. A groan rose up within her as he teased her lips open and slipped in his tongue to mingle with hers. She just couldn't get over how good he tasted, how good he smelled, how good it felt with his body against hers.

It was almost like she was in a dream. Daniel was hers. At least for today.

He moved the head of his cock to the opening of her core, and she held her breath.

"Finally," she whispered, not meaning to let the word slip out.

His sexy grin added to the wild sensations already coursing through her body. "Yeah. Finally."

Daniel thrust his cock in so hard and fast that Ani cried out in surprise. He slowly rocked in and out of her as she got used to the length and girth of him.

So good. So incredibly good.

Low moans rose up in her throat as she felt him so deep it was like his cock touched her belly button. He thrust a little slower as she looked down and saw his erection moving in and out of her core and her tummy flipped.

His voice sounded like a growl when he said, "You feel like heaven, woman."

That word again. Heaven, yes. It was like heaven having him inside of her.

Perspiration coated her skin and his, and their bodies were slick against one another. She felt hot. Burning hot. Even more than she had when he gave her that spectacular orgasm. She thought she might burn up just from watching him pump in and out of her.

"That's it, honey." He continued thrusting. "Now look into my eyes."

Ani obeyed, her gaze meeting his. "I dreamed about this every time we talked on the phone," he murmured. "I've wanted you forever."

"Me, too." As soon as she admitted to it, he brought his mouth to hers and kissed her in rhythm with his hips as he moved in and out of her.

Sweat dripped down the side of her face and between her breasts from the heat of their lovemaking. His chest rubbed her nipples and she couldn't hold back the small whimpers that slipped from her with every thrust of his cock.

Her orgasm came charging toward her from out of nowhere. First her mind spun and her body felt like it wasn't even her own. She felt outside herself, as if she was a part of Daniel. Somehow they'd fused their minds and bodies and, in her case, her heart. She'd fallen for him long ago, and she'd take anything he'd give her. Anything at all.

The climax barreling down on her had her whole body shaking. She clamped her thighs around his hips to ground herself.

But nothing could hold her down.

She writhed beneath him and he raised his head. "Come for me."

It was as if his words were magic, tearing a low cry from her lips. "Daniel," she moaned as her body bucked and she scratched her fingernails down his back.

"I love it when you say my name." He continued to pound in and out of her. "Especially when you come."

His words made even more spasms erupt in her core and her channel squeezed down on his cock.

He shouted, "Goddamnit!" and stilled.

Ani's core still clenched and unclenched around his cock. He looked like he was in so much pain that she wondered if he'd injured himself. Maybe the liquid bandage holding the cut together on his ass had come apart.

She ran her hands up and down his back, caressing him. "What?"

"No condom."

Goose bumps prickled her skin, but she didn't want him to lose what they'd just shared. "Finish, Daniel. Pull out when you come."

His jaw was tense as he pumped in and out a few times. With a fierce expression, like he was holding back a shout, he jerked his cock out of her core and grasped it as his semen spurted onto her belly. His big body shook and his eyes were intense as he focused on her.

With a groan, Daniel rolled onto his side and brought her with him so that she was facing him. He took a corner of the rumpled sheet and wiped the come off her belly.

When he'd cleaned her off, he eased her into the curve of his arm. She snuggled into his embrace, her head close to his muscular chest. The scent of sex and sweat relaxed her even more.

She sighed, feeling more contented than she'd ever felt in her life. Her heart pounded like crazy and it wasn't just from the sex.

So this was what it was like to be thoroughly, completely in love.

The contentment of holding Ani in his arms pushed aside some of the guilt Daniel felt at taking their relationship a step away from his position as an Inspector Marshal.

A monumental step.

He held her tightly to him, reveling in the softness of her body against his, her breasts to his chest, her arm draped over his waist.
