The Barter System (8 page)

Riya walked to the side of
the bed and placed her palms on the mattress as she bent over invitingly,
glancing over her shoulder.  Sean stopped to stare at her taut body, dark hair
falling around her, shapely legs ending in high heels.  He didn’t know if he’d
ever been so hard before.

She looked at him seriously
and said, “This time, I
am
trying…is it working?”

Chapter
Four

She watched Sean cross the
room with intent, recognizing she was the prey and he the predator.  He took
his time, never taking his eyes off her.  He rolled the condom over the head of
his cock and approached. 

When he was close, he
reached out and ran a strong hand from her shoulder, down the ridge of her
spine, to her ass.  He squeezed first one cheek, then the other, in no hurry. 
His hand slipped around her hip to her mound, lightly brushing it before
coasting up her stomach to her breasts.  Squeezing firmly, he stroked up to her
shoulder and left his hand there. 

Riya could feel the
slickness from their time in the car on her inner thigh.  She was completely
turned on in a way she’d never been before, her body tingling and hot.  His
frank exploration of her body caused a quivering inside her she couldn’t
control. 

She held her breath as he moved
behind her, gripping her hip with his other hand as he positioned himself
against her pussy.  He slid in slowly then didn’t move. 

Leaning forward, he ran his
hands around and cupped her breasts in his palms, tweaking the nipples
roughly.  It seemed the air in her lungs simply left, leaving her lightheaded. 

She wanted him now, rocking
back and wiggling her ass against him, but he wasn’t having it.  He slapped one
ass cheek lightly in warning.  One hand still cupped her swollen breast as the
other moved down her ribcage to her abdomen, massaging her as he went but not
moving inside her.

When she felt Sean’s hand
sliding lower still, two fingers going to work circling over her clit, she
thought she’d scream with impatience.  She began to grind her ass into him,
feeling his body clench tight behind her, earning another spank, slightly
harder this time, against her other ass cheek. 

Riya moved one hand between
her spread legs, cupping and kneading the balls pressed snugly against her.  His
groan was music to her ears but he gave her cheek another hot pat that caused
her to suck air between her teeth. 

Flipping her long hair out
of her way, sending it cascading over her back, she glanced over her shoulder
and met his eyes.  His were glazed over now from pure lust, as she suspected
hers were as well.  His eyes were full green, boring into her. 

“Fuck. Me. Now.” Squeezing
his sac again to emphasize her demand.  He smiled but it was calculating.  He
gathered her hair in his fist, gripping her shoulder with the other hand.  Then
he pulled back and slammed into her, and it took both hands and all her strength
to keep her balanced on the edge of the bed. 

His cock stroked against her
womb with each thrust.  “Sean…please don’t stop!”  The grip his hands had on
her was hard, not giving her any chance to move as he pounded in and out of her
as if it was a matter of life or death.

Because they’d just had sex,
Sean had no trouble maintaining control and it was obvious he planned on fucking
her for a long time.  His sweat dripped onto her back, joining her own as it
slid erotically down her spine and over the slope of her ass. 

When he finally let her
come, she threw her head back, screaming as her legs shook.  Impossibly, he
sped up, fucking her even harder, holding her tighter as she felt him expand
inside her. 

Her inner walls sucked at
him, gripped at him and he was coming with her name growled from his lips. 

He slowed his rhythm but
didn’t stop, letting her pussy milk every drop from him as another orgasm
sliced unexpectedly through Riya’s body.  Arms no longer able to hold her up,
she rested her forearms on the bed.  Sean laid his forehead against her back,
their sweat mingling and breathing coming in hard gasps.  The pounding of his
heart against her back matched the erratic beat of her own.

It took a long time for them
to steady enough to trust their legs to support them.  He slipped his cock from
her and Riya slipped the heels off while he got rid of the condom.  They
climbed into bed, pulling the comforter over their damp and cooling bodies. 
Strong arms held her against him, safe and satiated.

She nuzzled into his side,
the scent of sex heavy in the room, and Sean whispered, “Yes, it worked.  Oh my
god, did it work.”  A soft kiss brushed across her lips was the last thing she
remembered. 

Sunlight woke her and Riya
was disoriented when she opened her eyes.  Then she remembered everything and
stretched in satisfaction.  There was a steaming cup of coffee next to the bed
she now had to herself.  Sitting up, she stretched again and carried the coffee
with her into the bathroom. 

Once she showered, Riya
pulled on his robe and did some work on her laptop before padding down the hall
to the kitchen. 

Sean stood there in cotton
pajama pants, his hair still damp from his shower.  He was slicing fresh fruit
and she was taken aback at how much her body wanted him again.  Her muscles
were sore but she felt wonderful. 

He caught her from the
corner of his eye and turned to her with a smile.  “Good morning, fair lady. 
Sleep well?”  His crooked grin showed his dimples and she smiled back. 

“Like the dead…you?”  There
was a bowl of cut pineapple, kiwi, and strawberries.  She wondered how long
he’d been awake.  All evidence of their clothing trail was gone from the night
before.  She put down her coffee cup, suddenly shy.

He pulled her further into
the kitchen and lifted her to the countertop.  “I haven’t slept that well in
fifteen years.  Or so long.  You are very good for me, it seems.”  He planted a
loud kiss on her lips.  “We’re going boating today, if that’s alright with
you.”  He stood between her knees, giving her bites of fresh fruit as they
talked. 

Nodding excitedly she told
him, “I love the water.  Anything to do with the water.  Where do you keep your
boat?”

His arms were on either side
of her legs, hands planted on the counter.  She realized how intensely he was
holding her gaze.  “I dock it in Cocoa Beach.  Not too far.  But first…”  He
untied his robe and pushed it wide, happy to see Riya was naked underneath. 
Leaning to take a firm nipple in his mouth, he had her nerves tingling
instantly.  He pushed her back until she was laying flat on the counter and
lowered his mouth to her pussy. 

After a few tentative licks,
he looked up and said,  “I’ve been waiting for you to get up so I could have
what I really wanted for breakfast.”  He worked against her, sliding one
finger, then another, inside her as his mouth worked magic on her clit. 

Sean enjoyed eating pussy
and was very good at it.  He pushed her feet up and sat them flat on the
counter, dropping her knees and opening her completely to him. 

His tongue moved lazily
against her, sucking and nibbling until Riya thought she might explode out of
her body from the intense pleasure.  His fingers stroked slowly in and out of
her pussy, manipulating her exactly where she wanted it.  She was so wet, so
ready, but soon realized he had no intention of fucking her. 

When she came, arching off
the counter and whispering his name, he kept licking until her body was limp. 
He made his way up Riya’s body to her mouth, giving her a deep kiss.  She
tasted herself and the fruit on his mouth and moaned. 

Pulling her into a sitting
position, he lowered her from the counter and closed the robe.  “Good
morning…again.  Go get dressed, Riya.  Take your coffee, you look like you need
it.”  He smacked her ass playfully as she turned to leave the kitchen and
laughed.  She felt loose and happy. 

Riya quickly showered again
and got dressed, realizing she’d never had orgasms like the ones she’d had over
the last twenty-four hours.  Only one boyfriend had ever gone down on her and
he’d been horrible.  She made several more entries in her log and backed up the
data to Tawny’s server. 

They drove to Cocoa Beach
like old friends.  Riya laughed more than she had in a long time.  They arrived
at the marina and Sean grabbed the cooler from the back.  His boat was a
twenty-four foot cabin cruiser with all the amenities and he made quick work of
getting them on the water.  She was excited.  She’d grown up on the ocean but
didn’t get many opportunities to enjoy it anymore. 

They were making good speed,
lounging comfortably on padded chairs on the deck, Sean steering with
confidence and ease.  When they got to a point where land wasn’t in sight, he
turned off the engine and dropped anchor. 

“The water in this area is
crystal clear.  Thought you might like to do some snorkeling?”  She slid the
cutoff shorts and tank top off, showing her bikini underneath.  His eyes raked
over her with appreciation.  “I take that as a yes?” 

They laughed and set fins
and masks on the diving deck.  She climbed on the railing and did a flawless
dive into the warm water, Sean following right behind her.  Both were powerful
swimmers and they raced away then back to the boat. 

“You really made me work for
it…I think you let me win, Sean,” Riya told him honestly.

He shook his head firmly in
response.  “I would have beat you years ago, but not now.  You’re quite the
athlete.  Swim team?”  She nodded and he added, “You’re beautiful to watch
doing anything, Riya.”  He kissed her then helped with her fins before securing
his own. 

They spent almost two hours
snorkeling and swimming before he admitted to being starving.  They threw their
gear over the side of the boat to the deck.  Riya was about to climb up the
ladder when she turned to look down at him. 

Sean was looking up,
watching her climb with intensity and naked hunger.  His hair was wet and
slicked back, his muscles glistening with sun and water.  She was suddenly
breathless and had to have him, sliding back down in the water where he held
them up with his hands on the ladder as they kissed. 

Untying her bikini, she
threw it over her head to the deck before working away his trunks.  Wrapping
her legs around him, she started kissing him.  The water splashed between them
as she placed his dick inside her and began stroking up and down as he held
them in place. 

The sensation was primal as
they fucked hard and fast in the ocean.  His mouth never lifted from hers until
they’d come together in the warm water with moans and sighs.  Afterwards, he
pulled her into a tight hug, gentling his kisses and stroking her with a
tenderness men had never shown her. 

It was only when they pulled
apart did he remember the lack of a condom and his eyes went wide in panic. 
“Oh shit, Riya, I’m so sorry.  I…I don’t know what to say.”  He laid his head
on her shoulder.

She put her hand under his
jaw, lifting his face so she could look at him.  “Sean, it’s okay.  Both of us
are clean and healthy.  I’m on birth control that could stop Terminator sperm. 
We forgot.  It happens, I suppose.  I’ve had so little experience and we got
caught up in the moment.”  Kissing him hard, she added, “It was a really good
moment.”  He watched her for a long time, then nodded and lifted his hands to
smooth her hair away from her face.

His stomach growled, and
they had to laugh.  Climbing naked from the water, with him making several
naughty comments about seeing her naked from below, they grabbed towels but
neither bothered to get dressed. 

He checked the instruments
and turned on the stereo. 
Proud Mary
blasted from the speakers and she
sang along as she unpacked fruits, cheeses, and cold cuts from the cooler.  She
handed him a beer and grabbed a water for herself. 

They sat in the captain
chairs and talked, watching the water.  Conversation flowed easily and it was
something Riya couldn’t believe she’d settled without in prior relationships. 
After a long time, she stood and cleared things away, insisting he stay put.
