Nice to know. She didn’t think he looked like a bum. “Just cleaning up the sideburns,” he said.

“Not too much. They look better on the longish side.” She wiped his back and shoulders, brushing off hair bits.

“Yes, ma’am.” That’s how he wore them anyway.

“You have a broom?”

“Storage closet in the hallway.”

She lifted the towel from the counter and took it with her. Nico’s gaze followed her glorious ass until it disappeared from his sight. He gave his sideburns a light touch-up. Staring at his reflection, he had to admit, the spiky top of his hair stood up just how he liked.

“Somebody looks pleased,” Kayla said, appearing in the doorway.

“Hey.” They locked eyes and he gave her a lopsided grin. “I see you found the broom.”

“Yep. And I shook out the towel, but it still might have some hair.”

“Thanks,” he said. “Leave the broom. I’ll clean up later.”

“It’ll just take a second.” Kayla started to sweep the floor. She stopped and looked at him. “Are you done here?”

Not even close
. He couldn’t explain what had suddenly come over him. And he didn’t care about the consequences. He took a step toward her. Kayla backed into the sink and watched him. He brushed curls from her face, trapped her with his bare torso. “I want to kiss you again, even though I keep telling myself that I shouldn’t.”

Her hand went to his shoulder. “As Nike would say,
just do it
.”

He fought back a smile. “Here’s the problem. I don’t think I can stop at one kiss.” The minute he tasted her again, all bets would be off. And so would their clothes.

She set the broom aside and looped her arms around his neck. “Why is that a problem?”

“I’ll want to take you to my bed.”

“Good,” she said, with the sexiest grin.

He gazed into her eyes. They were a window to her soul, and damn it, he liked what he saw. Her earthy sense of passion ran deep. “Not good,” he said, shaking his head. “You’re not like those other girls.”

“You mean a friend with benefits?”

That’s exactly what he meant. Someone he could sleep with and invest nothing but a good time. “Yes.”

She kissed his chin. “I’m glad you think I’m worth more.”

He most certainly did. “You are. But I can’t give you more than that.”

“Then just give me what you can.”

She mattered to him, and he owed her complete honesty. “I’d be shortchanging you. And you deserve better.”

She took his face with both hands and kissed his lips. Nico wrapped her with one arm. The heat of her kiss blasted his heart, shattered his doubts. Rabid need rushed to the surface, leaving him raw to the core.

“I want you,” Kayla said against his mouth.

Christ, he wanted her too. He wouldn’t allow himself to think about anything else. Just Kayla and the promise of more kisses, more everything. Nothing less would satisfy his hunger.

Nico broke the kiss and took her hand. He led her out of the bathroom. “Be sure about this, Kayla. Once we start, I won’t be able to stop.” He gave her one last chance to change her mind.

“Is that a promise?”

“God, woman, why did you come here?”

Her eyes blazed at him. She looked like a goddess, and he wanted to drop to his knees and worship every inch of her.

“I couldn’t go any longer wondering, wishing.” She put her warm hands on his chest, over his racing heart.

Nico backed her against the wall. He took her wrists with one hand and lifted her arms, pinning them above her head. “Is this what you wished for?” He ravaged her mouth until they were both gasping for air.

“That was one of the things,” she said through choppy breaths.

He licked his way around her graceful neck, her sleek shoulder blades. Once he’d gotten his fill, he went south, dipping his chin into her tank top. He pushed it down, suckled her breasts, and nibbled the tips of her hard nipples. Damn. If the rest of her tasted this good... “What about this?” He stared into her smoldering eyes.

She freed her hands from his grip and pulled off her top. Then she removed her bra and made his heart stop. “It was more like this,” Kayla said. She guided his mouth to one beautifully erect nipple.

Nico took her breast in his hand and let his tongue do a slow exploration. Her light whimpers told him how much she loved it, especially when he licked the sensitive tip. He sucked harder, and when he did, she dug her fingers into his shoulders, rubbed her pelvis against his erection. She moaned and hissed with pleasure. Those sweet sounds of ecstasy drove him insane.

“God, Nico,” she whimpered, while he feasted on her.

He liked how she used God and his name in the same sentence. She tasted like a delicious new flavor, better than anything he’d had before. He wanted more. And he took more, all that Kayla had to give. Nico turned her around. His arm encircled her waist, and he pulled her into his straining erection. Her world-class ass ground against him, and when she pressed her hands to the wall and arched her back, he groaned and rode her sensual sways.

Kayla knew how to use her hot body. He undid the button on her jeans and slid the zipper down. A small cry escaped her. His hand traveled to her breasts again because they felt so damn soft and inviting. Plus, she really liked it when he played with her nipples. He gave them lots of attention, and when her breathing grew ragged and her moans came louder, he slipped his hand down her jeans and cupped her between the legs. Whoa. Heat singed his palm.

“Nico,” she murmured.

She said his name so erotically, and he wanted to hear it again and again. His fingers traced over lace. Fast, hard breaths matched hers, and when he put his hand inside her panties, they both gasped.

Holy shit, she was dripping wet and so fucking primed for him. He leaned her back against his chest and anchored her in place. She lifted her arms and locked them behind his head, giving him full access to her body. Yeah, that’s what he wanted.

Nico’s finger found her opening and slid inside her. Hot. Tight. He swallowed the thick lump in his throat. The thought of his dick replacing that finger had him going crazy. But right now, it was all about Kayla. She whimpered his name again and when she grasped his hair, he stopped abruptly and spun her around.

“Was that one of your wishes too?”

“It was so much better,” she croaked, her voice overcome with need.

His kisses began at her lips. They covered her plump breasts, quivering stomach and flat pelvis. He crouched on one knee and worked her jeans over her hipbones, pulling them down to her calves. Her legs were fantastic. She should never cover them up. He stopped to admire how shapely they were, how beautiful all of her was. His eyes went to her black lace panties, and in one swift move, he had them down her legs.

Christ. Her naked body knocked the oxygen right out of his lungs. And she hadn’t been lying about a tattoo. Nico examined the artwork. He liked how she’d chosen a design with special meaning. Small and colorful, the medical symbol looked sexy as hell, especially in the spot where she had it. “You’re so hot,” he said, touching it.

He stroked her silky skin, her firm thighs, turned her again, because there was something else he wanted to see in the flesh. Wow. Her ass was round and juicy and just the way he liked it. He cupped one cheek at a time, and cursed at the freaking cast that prohibited him from grabbing two good handfuls. But he wouldn’t let that deter him. He used his mouth to compensate.

Kayla pushed her butt out into his face. He loved the boldness and lack of inhibition. She liked sex and she wanted him to know it. He licked dangerously close to her center, and when he tasted her juices, he nearly came in his pants. He lapped some more; he lapped it all. Kayla went out of control, surging his heart rate to stroke level. He shifted positions so she faced him again.

He freed one leg from her jeans and panties and looped it over his shoulder. His nostrils flared at glistening pink flesh, a swollen bud that begged for release. He gave it a slow licking. Kayla’s head thumped back against the wall. Her fingers dug into his hair. He sucked her into his mouth, and she mumbled something in Spanish. “Was this on your wish list?” He gazed up at her sex-ridden face.

“Yes,” she whimpered, grabbing his head tighter.

That was it for him. He wanted her to come in his mouth so he could drink up every drop of her tasty fluids. It took no time at all to make it happen. And when it did, it was by far the most exhilarating experience of his life.

 

 

Chapter 9

 

Kayla had known Nico would be an excellent lover. He’d already lived up to her hottest fantasies, and they hadn’t even had sex yet. She should’ve felt self-conscious with her most intimate parts all up in his face. No man had ever given her an orgasm while she stood on her feet, but Nico didn’t appear to be in any hurry to get her horizontal.

Good Lord, his tongue worked magic on her anatomy. He’d made her come with such ease, maybe because she’d anticipated this moment for years. So what if her jeans and panties were tangled around one ankle? Kayla had no body hang-ups. Besides, the way his eyes drank her in bolstered her confidence. She felt like a centerfold model.

Nico worked his way around her body like he knew it personally. Everything he did left her shaking, aching for more. She’d never felt so aware of her own sexuality. He showed her new pleasures, things she’d never done with anyone else. College boys had only cared about themselves. Nico focused solely on her enjoyment.

She wanted to reciprocate. True, her bedroom skills were nothing like his. But then, she didn’t need a textbook on the subject. Nope. Loving Nico came naturally. How could she go wrong?

Whew. It took a moment to recover from a climax that had buckled her knees. Still wrenching with aftershocks, she eased her leg off his shoulder. “Come up here,” she said, curling a finger at him.

Nico stood, his eyes dark, severe and completely fixed on hers. “That was beautiful.” He tucked her curls behind an ear and nibbled her lobe. “I want to do it again,” he whispered all hot and breathy, which made her spine tingle. His bare chest, now damp with sweat, smothered her breasts.

Kayla twined her arms around his neck. “Where did you learn how to do that?” Her body hummed in anticipation of more love lessons.

He gave her a smug smile, a quick kiss on the lips. “Let’s go to the bed.”

She took his outstretched hand, dragged her clothes across the floor. Nico pulled down the comforter. Kayla sat on the bed and yanked off her jeans and panties. She looked up to find Nico undoing his pants. “Let me,” she said.

He watched as she unzipped him. She tugged his jeans down, which came off a lot easier than her skinny ones. But she left on his navy blue Calvin Klein boxer briefs and took a few lingering seconds to check out the goods. Yum. He could’ve modeled for the underwear company with that awesome physique.

He stepped from his jeans, kicked them aside and came toward her. She put both hands on the mattress and scooted back on the bed. “Come here,” she said, getting on her knees. He complied, his gaze riveted on her breasts. “Lie on your back and get comfy.” She pressed down on his chest. Nico rested on the fluffy pillow. He lifted his injured arm and set it above his head.

Her gaze swept him up and down. She licked her lips. Using his hand, he scooted her closer. Straddling him, she wanted to touch him all over, stroke every delicious inch. He felt strong and hard, smooth and slick. She leaned forward, and he caught one of her breasts.

“My turn,” she said, moving his hand away.

He smiled. “Have it your way.”

“I plan to.”

“Do you plan on kissing me anytime soon?”

“I plan to do a lot of things,” she said, grinding against his erection.

“Okay. But everything you do to me, I’m going to do to you.” He tweaked her butt cheek.

“Seriously? Then I better not leave anything out.”

“Actually, you don’t have to do a thing. Just sitting there naked is enough for me.”

“Liar. You just said you wanted a kiss.”

“I did, huh?”

His gravelly voice gave her such a rush. She lowered herself and kissed his expectant lips. “Better?”

“Do it again, with tongue,” he said, grasping her hipbone. The pad of his thumb drew little circles that ignited her skin.
