Reckless Whisper (2 page)

“Definitely
not an item anymore – since last week, actually,” she said with a
careless shrug.

“You
don’t look too broken up about it,” he said, and she flashed her eyes up at him
to see if he was making fun of her. He wasn’t. He just looked curious.

“I’m
not. He was a lying, cheating, toad,” she told him calmly, finishing off her
drink and dumping it on the counter with a “thunk”. “And I’m here tonight to
revel in my singledom – find someone really hot to take home, and then
screw his brains out.” She had an innocent smile on her face as she finished
the sentence.

Did his
eyes just turn from brown to black?

Whoa.

Carla
couldn’t help the little shiver that passed through her frame at the prospect
of how predatory he looked right then.

“I see.
Then I hope you weren’t considering Henry as a likely prospect. Like I said,
he’s hardly your type. Far too tame,” Jason Holt said as he placed his own
glass next to hers on the counter.

“I
can’t help but agree, Mr. Holt,” she murmured, uncrossing and then crossing her
legs. Not with the intent to play seductress, but because she had to find a way
to tone down the itching in the apex of her thighs. Why on earth was she
suddenly feeling like a bitch in heat? Sure, Jason Holt exuded some serious
male magnetism but was that enough to make her want to shove him on the nearest
chair,
hike up her skirt and mount him like a cowgirl?

Yeesh.
No more rum and coke for her
tonight.

“Please,
call me Jason. And can I call you Carla?”

“Of
course,” she said quickly.
Mister
,
she thought with an inner squirm,
you
can
call me anything you want…

“Well,
Carla, I can’t help but feel that I appeared at a most opportune time –
that is, if you meant what you said about how you want this night to go.” His
voice was a calm, low drawl, but Carla was no fool; she sensed the undercurrent
of feral heat and purpose in the way he picked his words.

“You
think?”

“Yes,”
he told her clearly. He was now standing so close to her she could inhale the
delicious hint of his expensive cologne and something else…his own special,
masculine scent. She could swear she was seeping from her inner folds by now.

“And if
you don’t have any other prospects standing by, then allow me to apply,” he
said in a husky, skin-tingling voice, before slanting his head and kissing her
lips.

Chapter
Two

Right
there, right then, he kissed her, and stamped his claim.

Carla
gasped into his mouth, shocked by the instant volt of electricity she felt. He
took her fiercely, seeking entry into her with a tongue that was demanding and
beguiling at the same time. He had the sweetest taste, the freshest feel. She
could have kissed him all night.

Before
she even had the chance to respond, he drew back, very slowly. Her eyes were
fastened to those incredibly knowing lips that retreated from hers, and she
wanted to protest
;
more, more! If that was his way of
giving her a taste of what was to come, then she was already very much sure her
search had indeed ended.

“Well,”
she said, pushing her fingers through her hair to hide how much the unexpected
kiss had thrown her. She stole a glance around the club and wondered if anyone
had caught that bit of
lip-locking
. Suddenly,
perversely, her plan seemed so foolish – even dangerous. What had she
been thinking? Now here she was, faced with the reality that she was about to
get exactly what she’d been looking for. She looked into Jason’s eyes and
suddenly realized this was no longer a game…

*

“You
said something about Henry not being my type,” she added through suddenly
parched lips as she saw him stand back to view her with humorous, sensuous
eyes. “What makes you think you’re mine?” Carla was aiming for lightheartedness,
but she was a mass of confusion inside.

He
shrugged his hard-packed shoulders. “Because you’re a woman with fire,” he said
deeply. “And you need a man who can stoke up the flames just right.
Someone with firmness…a man not afraid to take charge – of
your body, and of your pleasure.
I can be that man, Carla. I want to
be.”

Oh heck
, she thought with an inner
moan. He was on all levels the most incredibly attractive male she’d ever met,
and he wanted her. It was almost as impossible to believe as the fact that
she’d ever thought she could carry out her dumb plan. Like seriously? He
thought she had fire? Hardly. She’d been silly to think she could just come up
here, grab some guy and then jump into bed with him. She didn’t do stuff like
that.

“Look,
um…Jason; I have a confession to make,” she said quickly, shoving back her hair
with slightly trembling fingers. “You know what I said about uh…finding someone
to go to bed with. It was just
me
being silly. You
see, I was mad at Rick for cheating on me – that’s why we broke up, by
the way…So I came here, to make a fool of him by hooking up with someone in the
hope that he’d hear about it.”

Jason
paused, his gaze flickering over her face for a moment. “Thank you for telling
me, Carla. And you’re right, it is silly.”

Her
eyes widened, his words stinging somewhat. “Huh?” she said, dazed. She hadn’t
really expected him to agree with her.

“It’s
true,” he said, shrugging. “It’s silly for you to think that Rick’s opinion
matters.
That you need to prove anything to him.
Because you don’t.
If he could be so dumb as to let someone
like you go, then he doesn’t even deserve another of your thoughts.”

“Oh,”
Carla breathed with dawning realization, as her annoyance fizzled into warmth.

“Yes,
oh
,” he said with a tender smile, his hand
reaching out to tip her chin higher so she could look straight into her eyes.
“My point being…that when you leave here with me, it wouldn’t be out of the
wish to make some ex-boyfriend jealous or angry…but because you truly, truly
want to. So, next question – do you want to, Carla?

*

If she
said no, he’d probably leave her alone. Carla felt sure about this. She also
felt sure she’d regret it for a long, long time.

“I want
to,” she replied, her voice breathy, barely audible.

But he
heard her, and his smile was gleaming with sensuous intent as he said,
“Great…because you got me ever since the words “screw his brains out” and trust
me, Carla, I’m going to be holding you to that…”

Chapter
Three

His place, his bedroom…his bed.

They’d
started kissing the second the front door closed behind them. Carla felt his
hands roam all over her, and she was just as eager to feel the solid strength
of his body beneath her hands.

Her
clothes had never fallen off so fast. She was in a sensual daze, lost in his
taste and heat. By the time he’d peeled off the last of her clothes, leaving
her in her nude-colored lace bra and panties, she was shivering with
excitement.

“Let
me,” she said huskily, reaching for his shirt and working the buttons free with
fingers that felt surprisingly steady.
 
She pushed the shirt off his shoulders and to the floor. Their lips
locked again like they were drawn by magnet, and she could hear his breathing
rasping in her ear. Knowing how much he wanted her made her bolder, more
determined.

Suddenly,
she shoved him down on the bed.

He was
chuckling, laying
half-back
as she bent over his body,
her hands reaching for his belt buckle. “I knew you’d be fire,” he husked,
before his head tipped back when she freed his cock from inside his silk boxers.

Carly
drew in a sharp breath as she gazed down at his impressive girth, wrapping her
fingers around him in wonder. Who would have imagined she’d strike this lucky?
He was ready, throbbing for her. Without hesitation, she dipped her head and
covered his broad tip in her mouth.

“Yes,
baby,” he growled, cupping her head as with her tongue, she traced the outline
of his purple-tinted cap. Using firm, passionate strokes, she masturbated him,
sucking hard on his slit to devour every drop of precum that landed on her
lips.

Though
his fingers in her hair guided her movements, Carla told herself she was in
control. She began to close her lips down on his hard, pulsating shaft till
inch by inch, she took him down her throat. She was barely halfway before she
felt his tip jab at her tonsils. Picking up a rhythm, she bobbed up and down on
him, coating him with saliva as she sucked him with ravenous pleasure.

Carla
loved the sounds that rumbled from his throat, it made her glad that she knew
how to please him. She felt sure she’d gladly suck his cock all night, but he
had other plans. With a deep growl, he finally drew her head up and kissed her
lingeringly.

“You’ll
drive me crazy if I let you,” he said with a soft chuckle against her lips. He
switched positions so that she was beneath him. He stared down searchingly into
her face for some moments, and Carla almost felt like squirming. “You are so
lovely. I could stare into your beautiful eyes for ages. Rick must be a fool,
Carla. And maybe I ought to teach him a lesson, hmm?”

Carla
wasn’t sure what he meant by that; was he going to give Rick the sack? She felt
like giggling to think that could happen, that Jason would do that just for
her. Even as the very idea warmed through her, she heard herself say deeply,
“Like you told me Jason, he’s not worth it. He’s nothing to me – and I’d
rather we stopped talking about him so I -
we
- can get back to the screwing each other’s brains out part.”

Her
words made him chuckle deeply, and he clasped both her hands, hitching them up
beside her head. He began to trail hot kisses down her neck to her thrusting
breasts. He nudged the lace cup aside so he could pull one nipple into his
mouth. Her body arched into him as he suckled and licked on the rock-hard nub,
sending waves of shock through her. His lips felt so good on her breast as his
teeth nipped gently and roughly in turn. Deep inside her core, she felt the
fountain rise as her panties soaked
itself
with her
juices.

“
My
 
God
…
Jason
,” she moaned aloud, as he shifted
to the other breast to assault that nipple with even more sensual fervor. She
felt the insides of her belly coil round and round in a taut knot, ready to
unravel with the most powerful detonation. It seemed almost impossible to
believe, but just with his mouth teasing and raking over her breast, she was
about to come. She’d read of breast orgasms, but she’d never ever dreamed she’d
experience it firsthand.

Her
fingers clenched his even more tightly as in moments, every nerve ending in her
body connected in a blissful matrix. She shuddered as her release rocked her
whole body right from the point where his mouth stayed attached to her breast.

Hot
damn it felt good!

Jason’s
head lifted up only when the last tremor had passed, and when he glanced up at
her, he saw a new wonder in her eyes.

“You
liked that?” he asked softly, with eyes blazing black and hot. She nodded
speechlessly, her body feeling weightless yet wanting. “Good…then I’m sure
you’ll love this…”

“This”
was to slide his lips lower, releasing her hands so he could hook his fingers
into her panties, drawing them down her hips. Soon they were off her ankles and
then discarded. He pushed her legs wide apart, and then buried his face deep in
her pussy.

Carla
squealed. The first shock of his hot tongue on her saturated folds was enough
to send spasms straight through her. Will she never stop convulsing? She’d
never experienced a man so skilful in giving pleasure; he snagged her soft
pussy lips between his teeth; he flicked past the hood to banter the pink hot
flesh beneath. She moaned his name over and over, her fingers lost in his hair.

It felt
amazing
.

And it
got even better. His fingers slipped close, teasing her mound with masterful
strokes. He thumbed her aching clit, bringing her to new heights of arousal.
Then, without preamble, he shoved into her with two fingers wedging deep into
her vaginal walls. She almost fainted from the pleasure.

“You
are amazing,” he breathed, licking up the nectar that all but dribbled from her
core. “Your taste, your smell…your feel. It’s like I’ve found a treasure cove.”

“I
can’t bear it anymore, Jason,” she moaned, gripping his head and tugging him up
to her. “Please, I need your cock inside me. That’s the only thing that can
stop me from going insane right now.”

“I know
what you mean,” he growled in reply, pressing one hot, hard kiss on her lips
and transmitting the heady scent of her sex straight into her mouth. “I need
you too, Carla. So much I’m about to explode.”
