Trapped Into Marriage (16 page)

“She didn’t tell me in those exact words,” the other man was saying more calmly, as he watched the expressions flitting over Nick’s face. “But she did give me the impression that you hurt her pretty bad but then you should know better about that.”

No, I don’t, thought Nick to himself. How could he tell this guy he had no idea what he’d done to turn Keyonna against him?

“Look,” the man said, “I heard she was in an accident and that she was brought here. I need to know how she’s doing.”

Nick let out a ragged breath. “She’ll be fine. She had a slight concussion, nothing serious unless you take in the fact that a section of her life seems cut out due to the accident. From the time of our wedding reception until when she woke up lying in the hospital bed. She can’t remember a bit of it.” And then he looked away, squeezing his fingers to the bridge of his nose as he fought back despair. “
Dios
! She really must have hated me. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out why.”

The man frowned thoughtfully. “If what you say about her memory loss is true, then I guess she wouldn’t remember me. So it might not be a good idea if I tried to see her. I really did need to make sure she was okay. But please, give her my regards. Tell her it is from a friend.”

Nick looked at him penetratingly and almost wished he didn’t need to ask but he just had to know…

“That’s all you two ever were?” he enquired with gruff reluctance. “Just friends?”

The man’s lips twisted. “Don’t worry, she never let me get that close. I guess you can figure out why. Well, Nick; you’ve got your second chance to win her back. That’s one special lady you almost lost so my advice to you? Don’t blow it.”

Nick stared after him as the man walked out of the hospital. He’s right, thought Nick. Keyonna’s memory loss, no matter how temporal, was his opportunity to put things right; to start over. Make her see that he cared too much to let her go
ever.
He’d been such a fool to blackmail her into marrying him; he could have told her how he felt instead of taking the hard route. And now he was going to do all in his power to win her trust so that even if she got her memory back, she’d find it in her heart to forgive him for whatever she’d found him guilty of…

Keyonna smiled up at Nick as he drew open her door to help her out of the car. Her grin broadened when he held on to her hand as they both climbed up the ornate steps to the front entrance of the villa. They’d flown out from Italy to Greece, where Nick had a sprawling white villa and where they’d originally planned to spend their honeymoon. She’d been checked out of hospital just forty-eight hours ago and had been just as eager as Nick to make it to this dreamy location. The scene looked straight out of a storybook, all blue sea and gorgeous mountain slopes. The villa itself was a vision; she couldn’t wait to go inside.

“Really, Nick; you don’t have to treat me like…like glass,” Keyonna teased, as Nick carefully led her up the many steps, making sure she took each one slowly and not in bounds as she’d intended.

“I’m not going to break, you know…whoa!” Keyonna exclaimed as he suddenly swung her off her feet and into his arms as they reached the top step. “Nick!”

“Glass or not, you’re my bride and it’s been like forever since I’ve been looking forward to doing this…” His lips touched hers briefly, yet the kiss was so sweet and hot that she clung to his shoulders to quell the dizzying sensation she felt.

When he drew his head back she was grinning, saying, “Oh well, get on with it then.”

Nick laughed at that and then dutifully carried her over the threshold. Keyonna gazed up into his handsome face, realizing this was the first time she was hearing him really laugh ever since she’d woken up and found him sitting beside her in the hospital room. She loved the flash of his even white teeth, the laugh lines that grooved beside his mouth and the devastatingly sexy crow’s feet that crinkled his eyes with humor.

She barely could glance around at her surroundings, not with Nick’s eyes pinned so piercingly to hers. He didn’t set her down until they’d passed the expansive, grandly designed foyer, and then into the living room with its amazing décor done in earthy, gorgeous tones.

“This, cara mia,” Nick told her with a flourish as he swung her gently around to take a look, “Is where we’ll be spending the next few weeks of our belated honeymoon. I’ve taken all the time off we need, and of course I called the caretaker beforehand to make sure everything was prepared for us. Beautiful, isn’t it?”

“So far,” Keyonna conceded, flushed with all the care and affection Nick had shown her since her waking up from the accident. Impulsively, she linked her arms around his neck as she gazed up into his face. “I can’t remember much of the wedding, Nick, but I know that it was wonderful. And the reception as well, I…”

Keyonna stopped abruptly, and felt Nick go still. “Yes, Keyonna; the reception on the lawn in front of my father’s mansion…lots of friends and family – do you remember…?”

Keyonna bit hard on her lip as she tried to cling to a prodding image, but then suddenly one particular element skidded through her mind; a tiny memory that made her shiver just recalling every bit of it.

Nick felt that slight quiver and held her more tightly. “What is it, Keyonna? What do you remember?”

Keyonna felt her neck grow warmer, and she swept her lashes down as she said shyly, “Well…not that much, just…something naughty you said to me. About how you were going to make slow, endless love to me until I squirmed and…and begged you to stop – and then begged you
not
to. I do remember thinking to myself now that’s one hell of a lofty claim.” Keyonna’s eyes were dancing mischievously so he’d know she was messing with him.

But Nick took the challenge very seriously, his eyes blazing dark and smoldering as he asked with husky intent, “You’ll have to be sure you’re up to it, sweet wife.”

Oooh, thought Keyonna as she felt an inward tremor at his half-warning tone. She gave him an impish smile as inside her deepest core, she pulsed with desire. “I am if you are.”

“Oh, you can believe I am. It’s all I’ve thought about since the very first time we met,” Nick told her deeply, before catching her lips in a heated kiss as he carried her up to their bedroom.

Chapter Thirteen

Their mutual desire was like a living entity pounding its heartbeat between them, binding them. For a long time there were no words. Their clothes fell away and soon their naked bodies glided against each other as they kissed, hands molding to flesh.

Linking their fingers, Nick stretched her arms wide apart on either side of her head. He thrust his tongue inside her mouth and Keyonna moaned louder, shuddering against him. He pulled his mouth away and whispered in her ear that hearing her moan like that was his favorite sound. He only made her shiver all the more, and he chuckled softly, sending her a rakish look before he tracked kisses along her jawline.

Keyonna gloried in the sensation of his lips on her skin; like a silken caress. She loved the way his virile, masculine body felt pressed against hers, especially his manhood which throbbed heavily against her stomach, hard and thick and almost fearsome in length. She’d caught only a glimpse when he’d undressed and her throat had gone dry as lust and consternation had warred within her. She longed so deeply to have him inside her…her mouth, her pussy. But first, she let him take the lead, and purred when those knowing lips moved to her ear and he tugged gently on her lobe with his teeth. Hmmm, that felt so good, so intimate and sexy. But then he shifted much lower, gliding over her neck and straight to her breasts which instinctively thrust out further when she felt his breath skim her rounded orbs.

Keyonna helplessly stared down at his wavy head at her breast, and cried out when he sucked one dark nipple in his mouth. She bucked hard against him, rubbing herself into his hard, toned body and feeling the arousal turn her pussy slick. He continued to roll the stiff, aroused tip into his mouth and then laved gently right before he bit down firmly, causing her to let out a shriek of delight. Nick groaned deeply, letting her wrists go as he lowered a hand to her cleft. Keyonna could feel her own juices coating his fingers as he stroked her firmly and then sought her clit within its hood, pinching it gently.

Scalded by pleasure, Keyonna screamed out his name. Damn but he knew just what to do to make her feel good. He danced his tongue around her aroused nipple while he angled two fingers deep inside her until he was massaging that spongy bundle of nerves while at the same time, he rubbed on her swollen clitoris with carnal intensity.

He knew her body so well. Too well. Better than she knew it herself. He made love to each breast with a lover’s intimate care, making goose-bumps of ecstasy rise in her skin as he simultaneously stroked and finger-fucked her drenched cunt. Keyonna couldn’t stop her vaginal muscles from clenching hard on Nick’s fingers as they shafted her faster and faster. Deep within her throat, a strangled sound of pleasure erupted and she gripped tightly to his shoulders, totally blown away. She felt ready to cum and was almost helpless to stop it. Her eyes shut tight as she fought back the rising inferno. Higher and higher she climbed, lost in a maze of clouds that lifted her into a subspace where time and place no longer mattered. Just Nick. Her Nick.

Now, his voice drew her firmly from the brink. “Open your eyes, beautiful,” he commanded thickly as his fingers stilled within her swollen core.

Keyonna opened her eyes and felt slayed by the flames of passion mirrored in Nick’s dark, blazing eyes.

“I will make you cum, as many times as you want but right now I need to bury my tongue inside you. I need to remind myself of your glorious taste which haunted me every night you were away from my side,” Nick said in that voice that sent shivers down Keyonna’s spine.

Keyonna saw no way to refuse him; not when she longed for the same thing herself. She remembered all too well his skill at pleasuring a woman’s secret spots, but when Nick rolled on his back and settled her above him, she stared down at him in confusion. He drew her up until she straddled his shoulders, and then he urged her higher still.
Oh, dearest heaven
, thought Keyonna as with his strong arms, Nick positioned her to sit right over his face.

Whoa!
The sensation of her pussy settling over his mouth; to feel the friction of his lower face nuzzling against her sensitive mound was enough to make Keyonna fling her head back with an animalistic cry.

Keyonna knew the exact moment Nick’s tongue jabbed into her pussy. Keyonna’s thighs tightened on either side of his head, and she heard him growl with approval as she pressed her pussy harder in his face.

She felt almost hysterical with lust, feeling Nick’s hands cup and squeeze her butt cheeks as he pulled her even closer while he licked the fleshy walls of her inner lips. In no time Keyonna was jerking herself over his face, shocked by the thrill of sharp pleasure cutting through her. Her instincts seemed to take over and all she could focus on was Nick’s tongue, lips, nose and chin grinding into her sex with unbelievably delicious pressure.

It was wicked, wild and hot.

Keyonna felt like she was in paradise.

Nick’s hands shifted from her ass to massage her tits, and Keyonna’s hands covered his as her body writhed and shook. Half of her was worried she was smothering him but Nick didn’t seem to mind, even when she began rubbing herself violently over his face. She was crying out, sobbing and moaning at the same time. Keyonna wanted nothing more than to spurt all over Nick’s face and something told her he’d like that too. Gulping air like she was drowning, she Keyonna grunted, “
Yes…fuck yesss
.” Nick’s masterful tongue fucked her pussy into a mass of goo just as his sucking lips pulled on her clit until it sent currents of ecstasy straight to her brain.

Oh, she definitely wanted to cum, so much her body felt ready to explode. But Keyonna knew something she wanted even more.

Lifting her pelvis off his neck, Keyonna pushed her body down his chest and kissed away his protests. “Let me do something for you this time baby,” Keyonna purred, and smiled sultrily into his face which was smeared with her juices. Plucking one more time at his lips and making him groan, Keyonna glided her naked body down Nick’s muscled frame. She nibbled at his nipples, and heard his deep grunt of pleasure, and then kissed adoringly over his rippling pecs before resting on her knees in between his thighs.

“Oh my,” Keyonna breathed, cupping one hand around his juicy-looking balls and wrapping her hand around his thick, long and beautifully hard cock. He was magnificent, all smooth and silky yet strong as steel in her grasp. She whined with appreciation.

Keyonna’s knowledge with giving blowjobs could easily fit on the back of a postage stamp. She’d never had much opportunity to indulge in the act but then she’d never had such an eagerness to have a cock in her mouth the way she wanted Nick’s. She couldn’t help sighing, “You have a beautiful cock, baby.” She licked her lips wantonly as she cut her gaze up to his face and saw the look of agonized arousal in his expression.

“Oh fuck. Keyonna,” she heard him groan when she bent to lap at the precum pooling at the tip of his massive erection. Keyonna hummed at the deliciousness that was Nick, and kept her gaze linked to his as she wrapped both hands around his thick, solid shaft and stroked him up and down while she closed her mouth over his crown and sucked lusciously.
