No Reservations (2 page)

'If only it were as lurid as you make it out to be. I told you, the television is on so loud I can hear it and so can you. And Eve is not my woman. You are my woman. And right now, you're undoing my work on your pussy.'

'Your wife did that.' She wanted to cross her arms across her chest and glare at him but it was impossible to pretend she didn't want him to shove his cock into her even if she was pissed. The damned man was beyond irresistible.

He slid his cock along the seam of her pussy and she widened her thighs to get more contact. A grin, quicksilver, flashed across his face.

'She's not my wife. You would be my wife if you stopped freaking out every time I asked and just married me already.'

Gab! Not that while they were doing this. 'We've been ...

oh that's very nice . . . seeing each other, going steady, whatever you want to cal it for less than a year. You come with a lot of baggage including Pickles downstairs. We don't need to rush. Except you need to make me come or put your dick into me.'

He started laughing and rol ed her over so that she was on top. 'That's better and I'l give you five dol ars to stop cal ing her that.'

Taking matters into her own hands, she grabbed his cock, angled him and slid down the thick stalk of him until he was inside her ful y. 'If you want the job done right, do it yourself. And anyway, she invites mockery, Charles. She just plays at being helpless to keep you hopping.'

He grabbed her hips and slammed into her cunt and then pul ed out, slamming in again. 'Mmmm, juicy. Now can we speak of something, anything else? Like how you haven't come yet?'

'I'm always wil ing to talk about that.' She smirked down at him, the lines of his face lit by the moon reflected on the snow outside and the golden light of the fire in the fireplace across the room. 'You're too good looking.'

'Thank you. It's al for you. Now get to work up there. I think we should start off with a nice, hard orgasm for you and then we'l fol ow up with another in a few minutes.'

She arched, letting her head fal back as she rose and fel , repeatedly taking him into her cunt. His finger traced around her nipple and then down the curve of her left breast.

Around her bel y button and then at last he danced the veiy tip of it over her clit. They gasped in unison.

'I love the way your cunt grabs me when I do that,' he murmured. 'I love the way you look, above me, gleaming in the firelight, your pussy hugging my cock. Your tits swaying as you fuck me. You're so beautiful, Katherine. Beautiful and sexy and al mine.'

He looked up at her and meant every word he said. God damn, she was gorgeous. Mouthy, opinionated, independent and damned sexy. Her pussy was an inferno and he never wanted to leave it.

Her inner wal s contracted around him as he drew slick circles around her clit. She was close, he could tel . Her nipples were dark, beaded against the cool air, her breath quick and shal ow as she squirmed down on him over and over, grinding herself into his fingers as they played over her clit.

He hadn't been kidding when he'd brought up marriage.

He wanted to be with Katherine Edwards forever. But he'd take living together. And he'd planned to bring it up over a few glasses of wine, some sex, a fire, al designed to get her resistance low.

Instead, his ex-wife had shown up saying she'd missed their daughters and what could he say? Toss her out of the vacation house they stil shared? In the presence of their daughters? If it had been just them or the girls had been away at the time, he would have, but they'd seen her drive up and he'd been trapped. Kate had been real y angry but had hid it wel , behaving, as always, kindly in Eve's presence, but Eve played games and he planned to have yet another conversation with her about it.

There was a steadfastness of wil Katherine possessed that Eve simply didn't have it within herself to understand. Just because Kate didn't tantrum or cry didn't mean she wasn't total y immovable. That was Eve's critical mistake. She underestimated Katherine. Al the things Eve didn't get were al the reasons why Dix loved Kate so deeply. Eve hadn't stood a chance at getting him back before he met Kate, but now that she was in his life, no one would take her from it.

He had no desire for anyone else and, though she was courteous in the presence of his girls, he knew it was only a matter of time before Kate unsheathed her claws with Eve.

Kate wasn't a passing phase. She was with him. With him. But right then, he wanted to bring her off, so he added pressure to his touch, bringing another gasp to her lips fol owed by a low moan. He smiled, closer, come on then . . .

Her head shot forwards as she leant over him, her ringers tunnel ed through his hair as she rode him hard and fast.

That's it, take it from me.' He dug his heels into the mattress and surged up as she ground down on him, her cunt wet and hot. When she came he nearly lost his mind at how good it was, rippling and squeezing around him as she continued to fuck herself down onto him over and over. Thank heavens they'd final y reached the stage in their relationship where they could stop using condoms so he could feel al that hot wetness without latex between them.

Sweet Christ,' she panted out, slowing her pace and letting him take over again.

'I take it that was to your liking, milady?' He rol ed, landing on top where he could control the pace better. That and he liked the sight of her spread out beneath him, her face flushed from her climax.

You'l do.' Her voice had gone lazy, her muscles loose as she took him in. Her fingers slid up and down his spine as she wrapped her legs around his waist, holding him against her body.

He gave himself over to the pleasure of being with her, losing al other concerns but for what he felt for the woman beneath him. No other woman had provided such a refuge for him, had accepted him the way this one did.

'Have I told you lately how much I love you?'

'Mmm, it's not like I have a problem hearing it more than once a day or say, when your ex-wife shows up with a suitcase.' 'My darling, Kate, that horse is dead. Now unless you want me to go soft, let's speak of it no more.'

Teasing him amused her. He got the cutest little furrow in his brow when she agitated him. Delicious real y. Plus, he thrust into her a bit harder, and who could find fault with that?

'Fine, fine. I love you too, by the way. You're very handy when you're naked.' And he fucked like a rock star.

He stroked into her, deep and hard, keeping his rhythm steady. The subtle stretch of her skin around her clit, along with the way the angle he kept brought his cock over al the right spots, warmed her, fil ed her cel s with pleasure. Instead of the hot rush of climax when she'd been on top, this was languorous and decadent. Much like him.

'I like that smile.' He flashed that grin of his. 'It means something naughty in store for me.'

He pul ed out and untangled himself from her legs despite her protest about it.

'I was busy here the last time. Before you started bitching.' With that, he pressed his mouth to her cunt and kissed, leaving her arching and breathless.

On and on he went, his mouth, tongue, lips and even teeth working in concert to blow her mind as he went down on her. She was ready, already close, but he kept her dancing right on the edge of climax until she pounded the mattress with her need to come. He sucked her clit in between his teeth, gently but surely, and it shoved her right into orgasm with one gasped whisper of his name.

Her muscles stil jumped as he slid his cock back into her pussy with a satisfied sigh. His lips met hers, tasted of her, of them. She hugged him tight as he fucked her. Harder and harder and she knew he was close. Her nails scored into the hard muscle of his shoulders, her calves ached, holding him as close as she could get him, and he grunted in her ear as he thrust as deeply as he could and came.

He lay against her as his heartbeat slowed, their sweat and body heat fusing them together in a not altogether unpleasant way. 'Tomorrow after breakfast, when the girls go out with their friends, you and me, naked al afternoon.'

'Charles, where do you propose we put Pickles during this time? Because, while I am not opposed to sex with women, I am opposed to sex with her'.

Oh. Yeah. He had to deal with that issue.

I'l talk to her in the morning. And then we can talk about the whole sex with a woman thing. You know it's one of my favourite subjects.' He grinned up at her and she sighed.

'I'l take a walk then, shal I? Or maybe I'l go into town.

We're getting low on milk and bread.' She stretched and he admired the long line of her body, the dips and curves of her.

'Why don't you stay? I want you to be there, I want to underline to her that you and I are together.'

'Dix, I don't want to be an underline.' She sat, arranging the comforter around her legs but leaving her breasts bare. 'I appreciate how much you've worked to make it clear to her that you and I are a couple. And I don't blame you for this little stunt. But she knows we're together. She knows I'm not a passing phase. She. Doesn't. Care. She wants you back and she'l do anything she can to drive us apart. It's boring but true.'

'Wel , what do you suggest I do? If you would just move in with me, we'd have that to stand on.'

She froze. 'What? I live two hours away from you, which means my job is two hours away. I don't think I want to commute like that every day just to tel your ex something she already knows.'

We can move to Lancaster. We'l get a house near enough to the station so you can commute and so can I.

That's an hour out for each one of us. I can work from home two days a week anyway. Don't you want to be with me every night?'

She sighed. 'Why are you bringing this up right now?'

'Because it's time and because you won't marry me. I want something more from you, Kate.'

'I won't marry you right now and you know why. Anyway, what about the girls? Adrienne already hates me, if you and I move in together and she has to commute to school, or she loses the place she's lived in for as long as she has, it'l only make matters worse. It's just two more years until they both graduate.'

He truly admired the way she thought of his kids. She didn't push them out of the way, wanted him to keep his focus on being a good father. It was one of her best qualities. Stil , it wasn't insurmountable.

Sighing he pushed the hair from his eyes. You and I are smart people who love each other. We can work this through somehow. They already spend most weekdays with Eve because of work and school. We can work this out. And Aid doesn't hate you, she's just getting to know you. Kendal likes you.' Thank God for that. His oldest daughter had taken to Kate from the first time they'd met. Eve didn't like that much but, so far, he couldn't see that she'd interfered or criticised Kate to the girls. He had the feeling that was next on Eve's list though and it ruffled his feathers. He shouldn't have to tel Eve things like Don't badmouth my girlfriend to our daughters.' He shouldn't have to tel her lots of things, but Eve's behaviour had only become more and more childlike and annoying the closer he and Katherine had become.

'So what? You'd give up your weekdays with your daughters? Be a weekend dad? They adore you, Dix, and they should, you're a great father. I am real y not comfortable with having you spend less time with your daughters so we can live together. Even if they spend al that time with Pickles, they wil blame me if you move. It's only natural. I would too in their shoes.'

'That is just an excuse to keep yourself away from me.'

He narrowed his gaze at her, moving towards her to take her again.

Until he heard Adrienne cal his name from the bottom of the stairs. Kate raised that damned right eyebrow at him again and he snorted.

'Go on. I need to shower anyway.' On her way off the bed, she kissed him and he grabbed her, delivering a very thorough kiss instead of a quick peck. She got up and he admired how good she looked from the rear, her juicy, tight ass swaying as she walked.

'This discussion isn't over, darling Kate. There are solutions if you real y want to find them,' he cal ed out as he pul ed a pair of boxers and sweats on, fol owing with a sweatshirt.

Yeah, yeah. Tel it to Pickles,' she said before she shut the door on him.

Leather slid through Brandon's belt loops, one at a time, with a sound that sent a spiral of desire straight to Leah's too-long-denied clit. Thwap. Thwap. Thump. He gripped the belt's buckle end in one of those big hands and yanked it free, final y, to dangle from his hand.

He was grinning, the bastard.

'Look at this nice new belt.' His voice dipped, husky-low.

Leah kept her chin high, expression neutral. 'I see it.'

Brandon didn't seem swayed by her lack of reaction.

Looping the leather in his fists, he tugged it with another thwap that weakened her knees so much she had to grab the back of the nearby desk chair to keep her balance. Her pussy pulsed, her clit a tight, hard knot against the silk of her panties, but Leah was so not going there.

Not in Brandon's parents' basement with them doing God knew what just above. The house was quiet, but that didn't mean they were asleep. And it was the rumpus room for fuck's sake!

'What a nice belt this is.'

God, he knew just how to tease her. Thwap went the leather in his hands and he tucked the end through the buckle to make a loop just large enough for both his wrists. He held it up. 'Leah, don't you want to help me use this belt?'

She'd given him that belt, supple black leather with a plain silver buckle, just over a week ago. She'd given it before Christmas because they'd be spending the actual day with his family, and how, exactly, do you gift your lover with a belt you intend to tie him up with and have him open it in front of his parents?

She should've waited, she thought as his tongue swiped across his lips and al she could do was imagine it buried between her legs. Above their heads, Leah heard the skitter of claws on linoleum. That would be Scamp, the Longs'

appropriately adorable mutt. That, along with the squeak of the back door opening, was also a reminder that, although the house was dark and mostly quiet, they weren't alone.
