Ready to Love Again (Sweet Romance #2) (11 page)

“Let’s begin the tour here,” I said smiling at her as she slipped her hand into mine and I entwined our fingers.

“This is an extension to the property. Parker asked what I wanted for my kitchen and I said I wanted space to cook, to enjoy breakfast in a morning—hence the breakfast bar—and I wanted it to be big and open to make the most of the sunlight.”

“Well, he sure did a great job. It’s amazing in here.”

I looked at her and could see the truth of her statement. Her eyes wandered around the large space.

“Let’s get on with the tour,” I said as I led her from the kitchen into the hallway.

I opened the door to my very favourite room in the house. My library.

Alyssa’s gasp was audible as she crossed the threshold.

I stood and watched as her eyes scanned the walls of bespoke shelves. She saw the ladder at the end of one of the walls and then looked higher. She hadn’t expected to see what I had done to the room. Or rather what Parker had done.

She took in the sight of the wrought iron spiral staircase and let my hand go as she slowly walked towards it.

Her palm grazed the finial at the end of the banister and she looked up in awe.

“Go ahead,” I urged.

She climbed the stairs carefully and when she reached the top, she saw yet more walls adorned with bespoke shelves. There was a comfy bat wing chair in one corner by the window. There was also a love seat in front of the window itself. There was a desk and chair along one wall and a globe that had been a gift from my grandfather.

“Chase, this is…It’s…I’m speechless,” came that beautiful voice over the banister.

“I know, right?”

I made my way up to her.

“I was going to finish the tour of the downstairs first, but now that you’re up here, we might as well see upstairs.”

I took her hand again, marvelling at how soft her skin was against mine.

I led her to the first guest bedroom. It’s safe to say she was impressed. If this was her reaction to a guest bedroom, I couldn’t wait to show her my own room.

We had a short tour of the bathroom with the deep, claw footed tub and the large walk-in shower. Then I showed her the other guest room before leading her into my room.

“Oh my!” she gasped as she took in the glass wall.

I had asked Parker to make one wall completely out of glass. There was a great view on the other side of it. I had long curtains to be drawn at night, but in the day, the room absorbed so much sunlight. I showed her my en-suite wet room and she looked like she might pee herself in excitement.

I envisioned her naked in my wet room, then walking out into my bedroom, a towel loosely wrapped around her. She would trail across to my bed, towel herself dry, and then allow her wet hair to fall loosely around her shoulders. She would stand naked at the end of my wrought iron four-poster bed and I would trail feather light kisses from head to toe.

I have to stop thinking these things, at least while she’s here to see what reaction my thoughts prompt.

I subtly adjusted myself while her back was turned to me.

“Chase!”

Alyssa span round to face me and the look in her eyes could only be described as hunger.

Shit. Shit, shit, shit! What an idiot! What I thought had been a subtle readjustment had been seen in the reflection of the window.

Alyssa sauntered toward me, that hungry look growing ever deeper in her eyes. They were now a darker shade of blue.

She rested one palm against my chest and I could feel my heart bursting out of my chest at the feel of her warmth.

I couldn’t help but remember the taste of her kiss, the smell of her creamy skin. There is something so beautiful about her, it’s not just about her looks. No, it’s deeper than that. She’s beautiful inside and out.

Suddenly my arm wrapped around her waist and drew her to me. It wasn’t my intention, but I wasn’t thinking with my brain.

Alyssa wrapped an arm around my neck. She pressed up against my body and I was captivated by the look in her eyes. She’s definitely a force to be reckoned with.

I leaned in to her, the intoxicating smell of her making me dizzy. I wanted to drown in the scent of her.

A moment later, her lips crashed over mine as she led me into a kiss that made my toes curl. I sought out her tongue and tasted her for the second time since we met. This kiss was something else. There was lust, and something else in it.

I brought my hands to her waist and she wrapped her other arm around my neck.

The kiss deepened as she groaned against my mouth and her body relaxed a little, as though there had been a tension, a nervousness when she initiated the kiss.

My lips left hers and travelled down one side of her neck. I nipped at, then licked at her ear, eliciting small gasps from her as she moved her hands to lift the bottom of my sweater.

The feel of her hands against the small of my back had me straining at the front of my jeans. Boy, if this was what a small touch from her could bring, what on Earth could I expect if we were to go further?

Alyssa made quick work of removing my sweater and then returned her lips to mine in a frantic kiss. Her hands travelled up and down my chest for a moment before doing the same on my back. Her nails scratched lightly, making me moan into her mouth as I returned her fervent kiss.

I found the zip at the side of her dress and slowly undid it. I didn’t want to come on too strong and make her change her mind. Turns out I was too slow for her liking because she batted away my hand and unzipped it herself.

She slipped her dress to the floor, revealing a soft, lacy bra and matching panties.

I took a moment to step away and admire her but she pulled me back into the kiss and ran her nails down my back, having cottoned on to what drives me wild.

Standing there in more clothes than her seemed to bother Alyssa, so she made short work of undoing my belt, button, zip fly, and pulled my jeans down my legs. She moaned as she felt what was waiting for her.

I stepped out of my jeans and kicked them aside. I moved Alyssa to the side of the bed so I could get to the top drawer of the bedside table.

We stumbled slightly, but I put my arm around Alyssa’s waist and pulled her flush to my chest.

I sought out the foil packet from the drawer whilst nipping and licking at her ear lobe and kissing my way down her elegant throat.

Alyssa brought me down on the bed on top of her and I managed to snag the packet I was looking for in time.

I braced myself above Alyssa with my palms on the bed. Looking down, I could see those dark blue pools luring me in. Her face was bright with a dazzling, yet sexy smile. Looking over her body, hidden only by sheer panties and bra, I couldn’t resist running my hand down her side. She giggled as she writhed under my scrutiny and at the feel of my touch. I was growing ever harder with each moment that passed and if I wasn’t careful, I would come before I was even inside her. I didn’t want that, so I lay the foil packet to one side of her. I knelt on the floor and instinctively she opened her legs, welcoming me.

I wanted to prolong these moments with this goddess of a woman so I ran my hands down her legs, from her knees to the edge of her panties. Then I kissed her from one knee to the edge of her panties and the same on the other side. 

“Oh Chase!” she whispered.

I could feel her body writhing and hear her panting—it was such an adrenaline rus
h—
there’s no better feeling than knowing you bring someone else pleasure.

I put my mouth over her opening over the outside of the panties that were driving me wild and she moaned a little louder. It was a kind of mewling noise, it was like music to my ears.

My fingers deftly found their way under the sheer material and I felt how moist she already was for me. I continued to softly kiss her inner thigh as my one finger teased her clit before swirling at her entrance, then plunging inside her. She was so wet already and it felt good knowing it was my doing.

As I plunged my finger inside her, her moans ratcheted up and that was incentive enough to keep going. I moved aside and slid her panties around her knees, then dropped them to the floor when she kicked them off. I swiftly removed by boxers, springing me from the material I was straining against only moments before.

I fisted my cock as I tried to restrain myself from standing up and plunging right into her. I wanted this to last for as long as possible, but I could feel the pre-come that glistened on my head. I had to focus my attention back where it belonged.

As I plunged two fingers inside her, Alyssa moaned loud and long. Her beautiful body writhed on my bed and I couldn’t have been happier. I couldn’t wait any longer, I had to know what she tasted like. My lips were on her in an instant—she tasted like honeydew and I couldn’t get enough.

The sound of my name being moaned into the night was beyond a turn-on. I plunged my fingers into her one last time before standing and looking down at Alyssa.

I climbed onto the bed next to her and tore open the foil packet. Before I could get any further, Alyssa rolled over and ran her tongue over the head of my cock. She ran her hand down the length of my shaft and back.

“Alyssa,” I groaned loudly as she repeated the gesture with a little harder grip.

She knelt on the bed and came around in front of me. I sat back on my heels as she put her mouth over me and found a rhythm that suited both her hand and mouth. I fisted my hand in her hair and gladly let her carry on.

“Alyssa, I can’t hold out much longer if you keep this up!”

She mumbled something that sounded like sorry, but didn’t stop what she was doing.

I pulled back a little, not wanting this to end, but not wanting to come before being inside her. I needed her now more than ever. I had wanted this woman since I met her and I couldn’t wait any more. She was here, in my bed, and I didn’t know if or when that would happen agai
n—
as much as I wanted it t
o—
she might feel differently.

I sat up a little and Alyssa let up on her very sensual assault on me.

“I want you, Alyssa. I want you so much.”

Next thing I knew, Alyssa was slipping a small circle of rubber over my length before lying back and pulling me with her. She slipped her hand between us and guided me into her. Taking my time, I savoured every moment.

I slowly pushed inside her, the warmth of her walls surrounding me felt like Heaven.

Alyssa wrapped her legs around me. Her hands found their way to my back and she scratched a little deeper than before, making me groan in her ear as I bent to kiss her neck.

She pulled me close, her hands on my ass. I was as deep inside her as I could get. The feeling of her warmth around me and the kisses she was trailing along my jawline had me growing harder, if that was possible.

Frantic nips at my jaw and neck had me plunging harder and faster inside her. The fact that she was so hot and wet, along with her moans into the night made for a heady combination. I lifted her ass from the bed, cupping it in my hands as I fucked her harder and faster, my own moans mingling in the air with hers. The faster and deeper I pushed, the deeper she scratched her way down my back.

“Oh
fuck
!” she exclaimed as I moved her legs over my shoulders to try for a deeper angle.

This woman was going to be my undoing. Every stroke of her pussy over my cock made me sure.

As I looked down her body, I realised there was one thing I was missing. I made quick work of undoing her bra, freeing her beautiful breasts. I saw her taut nipples and my hands made their way to play with them.

Little gasps from her beautiful lips had me seeking a way to get her to moan louder. I bent down and sucked one nipple into my mouth. I bit her gently.

“Fuck, Chase. Oh my god!”

I moved my mouth to her other nipple and played with the other as I kneaded her breast in my hand. I admit to having admired her breasts most every day at work, but seeing them naked, feeling them, tasting them, it couldn’t get better than that.

I plunged harder, faster, and lifted that pert ass even higher.

“Oh hell, Chase, I’m going to explode if you keep this up!”

“That’s exactly the plan, baby,” I replied as I thrust and stopped.

“Why did you stop?” she panted out.

“You’ll see,” I promised.

“Kiss me!” she demanded.

I caved into her demand and claimed her mouth with mine. I could taste the mixture of her pussy juices with those from my cock. If I died right now, goodness knows it would be one of the best ways to go.

Alyssa fisted her hand in the back of my hair and pulled me closer.

I continued to play with her breasts while she fucked my mouth with her tongue.

I pulled away and saw the fire in her gaze. Those pools were dark and filled to the brim with lust.

I slowly started to move inside her once more. I couldn’t keep going so slow, it would be the death of me. So I upped the pace and Alyssa’s hips matched my rhythm, urging me to pump faster.
