Perfectly Flawed (21 page)

Sean wanted to reach under her dress and touch her intimately. But now was not the time.

“I’m going to get some coffee.” He said it, unsure if she even heard. Her eyes were closed again.

While the coffee brewed, Sean came back and put a blanket over her. She stirred a little. God, she was lovely. An angel. Life shouldn’t be so hard for her, and he determined to make things right. Touching her cheek, he felt her soft skin, and she opened her eyes.

“Where did you bring me?” She was sounding a bit more coherent.

“My apartment.”

“Oh, no.”

“It’s okay, love. I’m just making you coffee. You’re safe.”

“Not with you.”

Sean ignored the comment and went to get the coffee. He made her a cup with cream and sugar, how he’d seen her do it, and brought it back. “Here, try this. It will wake you up.”

Adrianna took the cup in both hands and gingerly took a sip.
“Pretty good.”

Sean smiled. It was so good to have her there, and even more, to see her feeling better.

“Guess you went dancing.”

Adrianna nodded.

“I waited for you.”

She took another sip. “Why?”

“I wanted to make sure you were okay.”

“I’m never okay.”

Sean brushed a stray lock of hair back over her shoulder. “We need to change that.”

Adrianna frowned. She was talking, but Sean could tell she was still half drunk.

“What are you thinking?”

“About you.”
She looked at him, her beautiful blue eyes sad.

“I hope it’s something good.”

“No, it’s bad. Very bad.”

“Why? What did I do?”

Adrianna looked at him, hesitating, as if unsure if she wanted to say.

Then she blurted out: “You broke my heart.”

Chapter 25

Adrianna sat the coffee cup on the side table, and Sean helped guide it, seeing her wobbly motion.

“How could I have done that, Adrianna? All I’ve done is love you.” Sean sat beside her on the bed.

Adrianna glared at him.
“And
her
.”

“Who?”
Sean was lost.

“The woman in the parking lot.”
Adrianna stumbled through the words without slurring.

“What woman? You are really losing me.”

“The woman with the dark hair, the sexy one in high heels. The one you hugged, Sean.”

Sean looked at her, trying to make sense of her words.

“The one you…
kissed
.”

Adrianna’s stress of the word jogged something in Sean’s memory.

“Nell?”

“Ah, so you remember now?”

“You saw me kiss Nell?”

“Yes. I saw you, Sean. You can’t keep her a secret anymore. I
know
.”

Sean’s heart ached with the realization of what Adrianna thought she saw.

“It’s not like that. Let me explain.”

“No.” Adrianna threw off the blanket and tried to get off the bed. “Take me home. I don’t want to be here.”

“Wait.” Sean put his arms around her. “Just wait.”

“What, so you can explain? I’ve heard all the explanations I want to hear. Men are always explaining. They do whatever they want, and then they explain.”

“You’re going to listen to me, Adrianna. I’m tired of chasing after you. You don’t know what’s good for you. And you don’t know what you saw in the parking lot, even though you think you do.”

“Okay, tell me, then. I’m listening.”

“Nell is a friend.”

“You always kiss your friends like that.”

“She used to be more than a friend.”

“That’s closer to the truth.”

“Before you. I used to date Nell before you. But ever since you showed back up in my life it hasn’t been the same. I only want you. Only you, Adrianna. But Nell dropped by. She knew you had turned me away. There was no way she could have known we connected up at the party the other night.

“So I explained to her how it was. I couldn’t see her anymore, not like that. I told her that I love
you
, Adrianna. I told her the truth. But Nell’s been a good friend, she’s an amazing woman, and for the right guy…

“Anyway, I hugged her and sent her on her way. And apparently, you saw her give me a parting kiss. That’s all it was. A kiss to say she likes me, she’s sorry we can’t hang out anymore, but she understands. Nell knows that you have my heart.”

Adrianna sat very still. Her look softened.

Sean put his palm on her cheek and kissed her lips. “I love you, Adrianna. I love you.”

Wrapping his arms around her, Sean pulled her close. The realization that she’d cut because she’d mistakenly thought he’d betrayed her wrung his heart. He held her, and Adrianna ran her fingers down his spine.

“I didn’t know,” she said. “I should have trusted you. I just…”

“It’s okay, love. It’s over. You’re with me now. We’re together.”

*****

Adrianna relaxed into Sean’s strong arms, the only place she felt safe. Relief, over knowing what she’d thought was unfounded, washed over her. Life seemed real again, like a huge weight had been lifted. He should hate her for assuming the worst, for not having faith in him. But he didn’t. Instead, he held her close, telling her how much he loved her.

His kindness touched her, and Adrianna vowed never to doubt him again. The discussion had been sobering, and holding him close, the love she’d tried to suppress engulfed her. She loved Sean so much, more than anything. There was no way she deserved him, nor had she any idea how to act in the face of such goodness.

When he plunged his hands in her hair and kissed her deeply, the rest of the world seemed to drop away. There was Sean, only Sean. He made her feel beautiful; he made her feel good, even worthy and deserving of his love. His touches, his gentle caresses, melted her, and she kissed back. All the feeling, all the love she’d kept pent up for so long, burst free.

Adrianna no longer cared about safety, about being careful.
Dangerous
, that was what Sean was. His passion led them beyond anything she’d ever experienced before. Every time she was with him, it was thrilling. Sex with him was hot, and she was needy. Oh, so needy. Being apart had only made her want him more.

“Adrianna,” he said, pulling back from her breathlessly. Sean searched her face for reassurance.

She reached for the hem of his sweater and pulled it off over his head. The sight of his chiseled muscles made her weak. Leaning toward him, she kissed his warm skin, and couldn’t stop kissing him. All over, his shoulder, his neck, his nipples. She wanted to kiss him everywhere.

“Oh God, Adrianna.”
Sean grabbed a fistful of her hair, pulled her head back, and kissed her neck. His mouth burned into her skin, and he nipped at her, biting and tugging.

Heat flooded her lower body. In the low bedroom light, Sean’s eyes looked dark, his muscles shadowed and inviting. Adrianna slid off the bed, and this time he didn’t try to stop her. All she wanted was to make Sean happy, give
herself to him, and bask in his love.

Still a little tipsy, but recovered enough to stand steady, Adrianna reached mid-back to grasp the top of her zipper and pull it down. Sean’s eyes widened when she lowered the dress and let it drop to the floor. Standing in front of him, wearing only a skimpy bra and thong, turned her on. His eyes drifted over her swollen breasts, down her flat belly, and lingered between her legs.

Teasingly, she put her thumbs in the elastic of her satin thong but made no motion to remove them. Instead, she eyed the bulge in Sean’s pants and licked her lips. In response, he unbuttoned the jeans and slid them off, giving her a better view. Pressing against his cotton briefs was his huge erection.

Resisting the urge to fall on her knees and yank his hard member free of confinement, Adrianna looked back into his eyes. Slowly, she lowered the tiny thong and kicked it away. Sean was riveted to her. Reaching behind, she undid her bra and let it slip off, revealing her breasts. His gaze locked on the sight, making her nipples hard, as if he’d touched them.

Adrianna let him stare, drinking in his look of pleasure. Impulsively, she cupped her breasts, lifting them and letting them fall. Sean held his hands out, beckoning her to come to him and she did. With his hands on her buttocks, Adrianna leaned down to kiss him, feeling his soft mouth. Lips parted, he welcomed her and, lost in the tender touch, raking her tongue along his, a whimper escaped from her throat.

Placing his palms on her face, Sean said, “Turn around for me.”

Adrianna turned, feeling more naked faced away. She crossed her arms under her breasts. The feel of Sean’s palms on her skin made her close her eyes. He touched her shoulders, rubbing in slow circles. The gentle motion drifted down her spine and over her hips. Holding her, Sean kissed her low on her spine then on her ass. The burning kisses made her wet, and her nipples ached.

“You are beautiful, Adrianna…so beautiful.” His voice was deep and throaty, making her want to kiss him.

Turning around, she cupped his jaw and he leaned forward to kiss her ribs. Her skin tingled from his lips. Working his way up, Sean kissed the underside of her breasts. She’d never known they could be so sensitive. With both hands, he cupped them and squeezed lightly, then licked across her nipples.

Her soft panting was the only relief from the insane pleasure he gave her. Never had she known such gentle caresses could deliver such bliss. Sean sucked at her nipples, making her tense deep in her core. It wouldn’t be hard at all to come, standing there with him doing nothing more than flicking her nipples.

Sean grasped her ass, and he pulled her close with his mouth over one of her distended nipples. The heat under his briefs touched her skin and she clawed at his back. A little crazy with desire, Adrianna pulled at his hair and then dropped to her knees. The urge to have him was overpowering, and she yanked down the front of his cotton shorts.

With one hand, she pulled his cock free and gasped at its fullness. Her other hand dipped between his legs, and she cupped his balls, rolling them in her hand. Sean groaned and leaned back. The need to taste him drew her to cover the hard knob with her mouth and suck the delicious flavor.

He was musky and salty, the exotic combination enough to send her over the edge. Sean raised his hips up just enough to lower his underwear, and Adrianna pulled them the rest of the way off for him. Running her hands through his pubic hair, she tugged gently and held the base of his stalk in her other. Covering it with her lips, she dropped over him, feeling his thick member in her throat.

Smelling Sean engulfed her in his maleness. Holding his cock in her hand, burning hot, she looked up to see his expression. Her love’s eyes were half closed and he was the sexiest man alive. Adrianna licked up the side of his thick cock, looking into his eyes the whole time. He was panting, and spread his legs wider.

Staring at veins bulging along the side of his member, Adrianna felt such love. Letting her fingertips drift down, she touched the velvet skin over the steel erection. With both palms, she felt Sean’s rock-hard abs, and he moaned. Pulling her up to him, Sean kissed her deeply, open mouthed and needy.

She gripped his rounded shoulders, then moved down to his thick biceps and squeezed lightly. The sensation of his strength was exciting and just a little frightening. His power, his virility, had her so turned on, Adrianna couldn’t hold back.

“I want you, Sean,” she gasped. Straddling him, Adrianna sat on his lap with her knees bent. Sean kissed and licked her breasts while stroking her hair and her back. Touching her sex, Adrianna could feel her own wetness, and rising up on her knees, she fisted Sean’s erection to entice him.

“Adrianna,” he groaned through his panting.

Sean wrapped his hand over hers, and together they touched his thick knob to her sex. But he didn’t press into her. Instead, he moved the tip of his cock back and forth over her in a rapid motion. The rapid motions turned her clit rock hard and she whimpered.

“Ah, ah…I want you.” Adrianna threw her head back and Sean kissed the curve of her breasts.

“Come for me,” Sean growled.

He flicked her relentlessly and it felt so good, too amazing. Molten heat flooded through her and her muscles stiffened. The more he stimulated, the higher her ecstasy. Given no reprieve, Adrianna relaxed into a delicious orgasm. Her clit tensed and her inner muscles convulsed.

Sean held her upright with one strong hand on her back, and with his other, he flayed his hard knob against her most sensitive area. Adrianna screamed, a high-pitched sound of release, giving up to the waves of sensation pouring through her. The release gripped her hard then let her go, and she sagged onto Sean’s lap.

Kissing him, Adrianna felt never-ending desire. The wonderful release had propelled her to a new height of need. And she needed Sean in the only way that could completely satisfy her. Pressing against him, she felt his hot cock against her belly.

“Sean,” she gasped.

In one fluid motion, Sean stood and turned her underneath him so Adrianna was sitting on the bed. Holding her wrists, he lifted her arms up and pushed her against the mattress, kissing her wildly, non-stop. His tongue lashed against hers and roamed the interior of her mouth. Sean was devouring her, and Adrianna welcomed all of it.

Sean stood right by the bed. Adrianna’s feet dangled over the side. He leaned over, massaged her breasts, and pinched her nipples. Her panting speeded, but was drowned out by his course, heavy breathing. The low growls he emitted as he touched her sensitive skin and sucked at her nipples aroused Adrianna more and more.

Leaning over her, Sean fisted his cock then touched it to her wet slit.

“Yes. I need you.” Adrianna arched her back, pressing up toward him.

Sean entered her, stretching her opening, and it felt so good.

“Yes,” she gasped.

Moaning, Sean sank in, stretching her more. The deeper he got, the better it felt. Adrianna slid on the bed a little, trying to take him in all the way. Responding to her need, Sean shoved, slow but hard, until he filled her up. Reaching behind, she grabbed his hard ass, and squeezed, loving the sexy feel of it.

Flat on the bed, legs dangling over, Adrianna looked up at him and pressed harder on his ass to push him deep. Sean was so sexy; it made her throb. His feet were on the floor, but the bed was high, reaching to the top of his thighs. He leaned over, supporting his upper body with his hands, looking down while he fucked her.

Adrianna reached up and pinched his nipples, then touched her fingertips to his jaw. Putting her fingers behind his neck, she caressed his skin, touching the
dangerous
tattoo she knew was there. Sean’s eyes were glassy with desire, and in the dim light, he looked impossibly handsome. As he rocked into her, the muscles of his shoulders and chest flexed. It was a sight to see. A crescendo of pleasure mounted inside her.
