Rescuing A Runaway Bride (13 page)

“Such as?”

“No more secrets. I demand open communication from you if we’re going to do this.”

He nodded his head and bent to kiss her while murmuring, “Okay, but remember it runs both ways.”

What did he mean by that?
His lips touched hers and then she stopped wondering as she kissed him back, her body responding to his even though she had reservations. Then she shuddered when he reached back to unzip her dress melting against him. There were guards outside, guards who might guess what they were doing but she didn’t care. Then he moved a little letting out a pained gasp and she froze. They couldn’t when he was wounded. She pulled out of his arms.
“Stop.”

The fierce look he gave her curled her toes.

“Why?”

“You’re hurt.”

He leaned back against the locked door and smiled. “You worried about me, sugar?”

She fumed because he was making her admit she cared even if he wouldn’t give her the same satisfaction. “What do you think?” she said.

His eyes darkened for a minute before a bad boy smile curved his lips. “In that case, strip for me, sugar,” he commanded.

She jumped, startled by the sensual command. He was asking for complete surrender, and she wanted to give it to him. Smiling a provocative smile, she shrugged out of the dress. Loosening the bodice and then inching it slowly down her body watching with delight as his eyes darkened with heat. Then she let it drop and stepped out of it.

“That’s good,” he praised.

As his dark raspy voice poured over her like honey, she shivered and the world retreated.

“Now the bra and panties,” he
said,
his brow arching.

Instantly her hands went to the bra’s back clasp unhooking it. Then she shimmied out of it delighting in the way his breathing hitched. Eagerly she reached for the waistband of her panties, then inched them off. Jake’s hot gaze rove over
her,
and her nipples tingled, jutting out.

“Kick your shoes off, and come here,” he demanded.

She smiled burning for him as she did as he commanded, feeling like a wanton. The heat in his eyes emboldened her enough to put her plan in action. She’d help him solve this case and then pursue his dreams whatever they were. She only hoped they included her. But first she had a man to seduce. He was still keeping secrets she
knew,
it was a part of his nature. She stepped into his space, halting before him, smelling his cinnamon scent and felt like she was transported back to the cabin before everything had imploded. He reached out to stroke her hair, undoing the clip at her nape letting her long dark hair tumble around her shoulders. It was an unabashedly sensual feeling and it made her shudder.

She shivered, getting wet as she pressed her naked body against his still fully dressed one. She reached for his buttons and he spanked her ass. She let out a startled cry as heat bloomed across her bottom.

“No,” he said.
Then scooped her up in his arms.

“Stop you’ll hurt yourself,” she protested but his hot gaze made her protest dry up. He was determined to show her how strong he was but he wasn’t bulletproof. Just the thought made her shudder with fear for him. He frowned down at her as he stepped into the bedroom and laid her on the bed.

“Give me your hand,” he said.

Wondering why he wanted to hold her hand she did just that and let out a gasp when he pulled out a fur-lined cuff and attached it to her.
Where the hell did he come up with that?
He walked around the bed to secure her other wrist.
My goodness he’d been planning this. What other tricks might he
have
up his sleeve?

Jake gazed down at her running a finger from one budding nipple to the other. “Such beautiful tits,” Jake murmured.
“And so responsive.”

She
arched
up seeking his touch acutely aware of the restraint. On fire for him, she pushed them into his hand, and he pinched her nipples. “Oh,” she gasped, when it hurt and felt good all at the same time.

“No talking,” he warned. “That’s one demerit.”

Oh my, he’s going to give me one of his sexy spankings again. But why the hell is he trying to keep me silent?
She glanced at him but his hot expression made her blush. His fingers, pinching and tugging at her nipples, made her gasp. Then his finger slicked down her trembling body to home in on her clit and she moaned. He was seducing her with one finger and he still had his pants on. It wasn’t fair and then it hit her he didn’t want her to see his wounds. It was on the tip of her tongue to demand to see them when a hot look from him silenced her. She’d find out his secrets soon enough. Heat bubbled up inside her as she looked at him, her gaze drifting down to look at the hard-on tenting his jeans. Yeah she’d find out his secrets soon.

Then he stepped up and slipped a blindfold over her eyes. A warm fleece-lined blindfold and she wanted to cry no fair while her world went black. Then he rubbed a finger down her and she trembled feeling it twofold. All her senses seemed to come to life. Then his hot tongue touched her nipple and she
arched
off the bed moaning. It was rough and hot as he lapped at her making her shiver. Then he blew on her wet nipple and she
arched
up off the mattress squealing at the hot and cold sensation. Oh lord. Then he sucked her abused nipple into his mouth hard and she thought she’d come apart. Mewls poured out of her mouth as he suckled her driving her mad and when she thought she’d melt into a puddle on the sheets, he turned his attentions to the other hard nipple. She whimpered when he wrapped his tongue around the other nipple, coaxing it to a harder peak. Then he blew on it sending cold and heat through her then he gave her a nip and she shrieked shuddering with heat. He chuckled turning her on even more and then drew her nipple into his mouth making her squirm.

Then she moaned as his hot skin rubbed against hers, his hard cock bumping against her thigh, teasing her making her wait as he stroked a hand down her middle to home in on her mound. He cupped it in his hand squeezing gently making her squeal then he chuckled and his finger slipped down her wet slit parting it to thrust into her pussy while his thumb landed on her clit. She thought she’d explode then.

“But I think I like this hot little cunt of yours,” he said softly, trailing a teasing finger up her slit. “It’s pink and perfect for me.”

Samantha sucked in a breath overcome as he teased her. His finger continued caressing her labia. She sighed, straining toward him frustrated when he remained out of reach. This was why he’d bound her to drive her crazy. But this was what she wanted, what she craved. He kept circling her sex, playing with her, driving her mad. Why didn’t he take her?

“Are you going to obey me?” he demanded, tickling her clit.

“Yes,” she hissed, arching into that teasing finger of his. She’d agree to anything to help him.

“I’m not sure if I can believe you, sugar,” he said with self-deprecating humor. “You didn’t obey my order to stay
away from me
,” he said.

Tough he was going to have to take her disobedient and sassy as she was. But his mixed messages were driving her crazy. When she’d stalked him to her father’s den, he hadn’t been at all reluctant to take her back. She decided then and there to take her chances by trusting him but she wasn’t going to let him off the hook that easily. He had to learn to trust her too.

“Okay,” he said after a moment. “I can work with distrust, sugar,” he said, pinching her clit making her wriggle, “but from now on we play by my rules.”

“Okay,” she said chagrinned. It was blackmail but she’d always known Jake could play dirty. He stroked her again rewarding her obedience and she gasped with pleasure, “I’ll play along as long as you make good on your seduction.” Then he pinched her clit.
Pleasure, pain, goodness me.

“Not unless you’re really sure, sugar,” he said, rubbing her clit. “I want you primed and ready for my love lessons.”

Love lessons, he was still willing to sign on as her erotic instructor. It was more than she could have asked for and she smiled. “I’m really sure and if you don’t take me soon, I’ll kick your stubborn ass. His chuckle made her blush behind her blindfold. Sobbing with need, she gasped out, “I’m
abso-fuckin-lutely
positive,” she said, remembering his words.

She reveled in his sexy laugh and then gasped when he rolled between her legs, the blunt head of his cock butting against her mound. He was hard and wide, definitely extra large, and he had what it took to satisfy her. But instead of thrusting into her, he bent to suck and nibble on her nipples. She
arched
up to him feeling the restraint of her wrists more acutely. He was nothing but a tease.
Damn.
Rubbing against his cock, crying out, she tried to make him fuck her.

“
Shh
,” he demanded.

She whimpered silently as he sucked and nibbled on her nipples, drawing them deep into his hungry mouth. His cock thumped against her, teasing her, but not taking her. “Please, Jake,” she sobbed, rubbing against it.

“Easy,” he drawled, moving, to suck the other nipple.

She shivered, the sucking making her hotter, driving her wild. Forgetting that he’d been shot, forgetting to be careful she could only feel. She tugged against her restraints, writhing under him. “Please, Jake, fuck me,” she wailed.

“That’s the way I want you, hungry for me,” he growled.

Then she felt the broad head of his cock entering her. How could he think she was anything but starved for him? Then she moaned as he filled her, thrusting deep inside until they were one and both breathing hard.
Damn but the man knows how to tease.
He drew out, slamming back into her. She saw stars beneath the blindfold, her pussy rippling as he slammed into her again.

“Don’t you dare come,” he ordered with a growl. “Not until I give you permission to, sugar.”

Permission to come! He hadn’t pulled this crap at the cabin, how could he do it now?
He couldn’t ask that.
She trying
not to come as he pumped his cock back into her.

“
Shh
,” he grumbled. Holding her bottom tight, he slid in and out of her.
“Now’s the time for you to learn some self-control.”

Her pussy clamped onto his cock, milking it hard, and she shuddered below him as they both came making her toes curl and his body tighten. Then he rolled off her leaving her bereft and breathless. Then he undid her restraints pulling her to him and she cuddled against him secure that he’d finally learned to trust her with his secrets.

* * * *

Jake lay there panting with stars in his eyes as Samantha snuggled so close to him and
the pain in his shoulder receded.
Just her touch was enough to do it for him. He couldn’t believe his dumb luck that she’d come after him. He’d let her go because he knew he couldn’t keep her and didn’t want her in danger because of him. But she’d come waltzing back into his arms and whether she knew it or not, he wasn’t about to let her go. Luckily whoever shot him was a lousy shot so he could concentrate on keeping her safe. Three inches to the right and he wouldn’t be here
holding his future. He was going to give her all the love lessons she could handle but he wasn’t going to let her step into the line of fire. The thing that ate at him was that they hadn’t found the shooter. And the fall guy who’d driven the boat across the lake didn’t know shit.

She sighed.

He smiled
smoothing a hand over her sexy ass more in love than he wanted to admit and she actually arched out toward him silently begging for it. Who was he to deny her? He gave her a smack grinning when she moaned. Oh yeah she was hot for it. His throbbing cock screamed that he wasn’t far behind. His hand slapped down on her ass again and she yelped.

“
More,
please.”
