Tryst (10 page)

Gavin’s fingers delved into the hair at the base of my neck, tangling around the blond strands and pushing my head even closer. Our teeth bumped together and he opened even wider, slipping
his tongue inside my mouth, smoothing over the edges of my teeth and stroking the roof of my mouth.

I melted in his embrace. The heat from his skin, the taste of his kiss… intoxicating was an understatement. He was the most potent drug
, the kind that just one hit would kill, and I was well on my way toward death. And I didn’t care. In that moment, the way our mouths moved together was so intense I would have gladly given my life for just a few more minutes.

My fingernails dug into the bulging muscles in his biceps, like I was on some kind of carnival ride
and needed to hang on for dear life. My lungs burned with the need for oxygen, but breathing would require lifting my head, and that was something I couldn’t stand.

The kiss went on and on. It was moist and hot
. Gavin allowed my tongue to explore every place it wandered, and every groan that escaped my throat he captured and added it to his own.

Just when I thought my chest might burst
, he pulled away. My lips felt swollen and the air that rushed between us felt cool against my overheated skin. I stared up at him dumbly, completely at a loss for words.

No one had ever kissed me like that.

No one had ever drawn out that kind of response with just a single kiss.

I know he saw shock in my eyes
. It reverberated through my bones. I took a deep, unsteady breath and my breasts brushed against his shirtless chest.

“I changed my mind,” he said, his voice made of gravel.

“What?” I asked, breathless and totally confused.

His cobalt eyes fastened on mine. “I don’t want you to go.” The hand still tangled in my hair tightened, as if he expected me to refuse.

Refusing was not an option.

Surrender was my only choice.

All I could manage was a single word.

“Yes.”

Talie

His touch was like fire. Tomorrow
, I would likely have blisters from the flames his fingers left behind. After my single-word answer, we didn’t speak again. Our lips and hands did all the talking.

His body was smooth like polished granite, an
d his tropical scent enthralled my senses so the only thing that existed was him. Gavin knew exactly where to touch, exactly the right amount of pressure to apply when he dragged his fingertips down the base of my neck and delved below the neckline of the cover-up I wore.

My breasts tingled with
need. The flesh felt swollen as blood and desire filled them, hoping one of Gavin’s magic hands would come their way. My nipples were drawn so taut it was almost painful, and every time I shifted, they brushed against the material of my bathing suit, the friction only whipping me into more of a frenzy.

I was bold in my exploration of his body. I wasn’t the kind of girl to shy away. I was hungry
—starving actually—and my body instinctively knew he would satiate that hunger like no one else could.

One of my hands cupped his pec, squeezing and then pinching the nipple until it puckered tightly. He groaned and I swept my other hand up into the thick blond hair, kneading my fingertips into his scalp.

The burning of the sting on my wrist intensified when the soft strands of his hair brushed against the injury. It was enough to break through the haze of passion and caused me to suck in a breath.

“Easy,” he said against my lips, standing up and pulling me along with him. He was so tall he towered over me
, the height difference between us staggering. I only came to his chest, and as we stood, I had to crane my head back to look up at him.

Very carefully, Gavin reached up and took my hand from his hair. He brought it down so my arm rested against his shoulder. “Probably shouldn’t move that too much,” he said, allowing his fingers to lightly trail down my arm to the underside of my armpit and then down along the side of my breast. I bit my lip to keep from sighing with pleasure.

“I want to touch you,” I said brazenly.

He smiled smugly as he bent at the knees to lower himself
down a little closer to my level. “Good thing you’ve got two hands.”

His lips claimed mine again and our tongues melted together l
ike an ice cream sundae on a summer day. Even melted, it tasted damn good.

My uninjured arm traveled down and my fingers played with the edges of his shorts. Dipping my fingertips beneath the damp fabric
, I scraped my nails over the side of his hip and he groaned. Both his arms swept around me, yanking me off my feet so I was completely plastered against his front. As he deepened the kiss, his hips tilted toward me.

His need could not be denied.
His thick, hard length pushed insistently against my lower abdomen, and the area beneath my bikini bottom began to throb. In one swift movement, Gavin tucked me beneath him, spreading out my body on the oversized couch like I was a buffet and he hadn’t eaten in a week. He lowered his body on top of mine, reaching around behind us to grab my leg and wrap it around his hip.

From there
, he lowered himself and I gasped. His rigid cock pressed exactly into my core. My knees started to shake and a fine tremor vibrated my body. He dry-humped me with finesse until my entire lower half trembled so badly I had trouble keeping my leg up around his hip. Oh God, the rhythm in which he moved was my body’s favorite song. With each thrust, he lingered a little bit longer so his entire considerable length rubbed against my engorged, needy clit.

With a moan
, my hands fell to my sides and I arched up off the couch, my head thrown back. Gavin’s mouth immediately fastened on one of my nipples and sucked with fortitude. My bathing suit and cover-up became wet from his ministrations.

“Oh yes,” I purred, holding his head there just a little bit longer.

His chuckle vibrated my flesh, and I groaned.

“Do y
ou like this?” he asked, pulling away to sit between my legs. His fingers held my cover-up.

“Yes
.”

“Too bad,” he growled and ripped the fabric right off my body. “It’s in my way.”

The string that tied the halter-top around my neck was quickly pulled, and he shoved the top down around my waist, completely baring my breasts.

Without a second to spare
, he took one in his hand, kneading the sides while diving back down and latching onto it with his lips. He used his teeth to pull at the nipple and his tongue to lap at the skin around it.

I couldn’t hold still. I was like some kind of nervous virgin
. My entire body shook like I was my own personal earthquake.

Gavin looked up at me, his eyes dark navy pools, and smiled a wolfish smile.

“More,” I demanded.

He licked down my belly and used his teeth to pull the string on the side of my bathing suit bottom, tearing the fabric away and throwing it over the side of the couch. He pushed one of my legs over the back of the
sofa and then pushed the other one so far open that my foot rested on the coffee table.

“Stay open for me,”
he growled and lowered his mouth.

Oh.
My. Goodness. His tongue had a master’s in vagina-ology. I’m pretty sure I embarrassed myself with the cries that came out of my mouth, but I scarcely heard them. His tongue was thick and wide; he could lick my entire slit with one great swipe of its textured pink surface. And sometimes he would start low, down below my opening, and drag his tongue upward, twirl around my swollen clit, and then plunge the tip into my pink, wet depths, and I would literally quake with satisfaction.

When he sat up between my knees
, his lips glistened with the juices he cajoled my body to produce, and I watched as he swiped his thumb along the wetness and then sucked it into his mouth like he wanted every last drop of me.

His eyes were heavy lidded when he reached for the tie on his shorts. Before releasing the part of him I most anticipated
, he paused and glanced up.

“Will you let me in?”

He could have asked me to stab myself and I probably would have acquiesced. “Please,” I said, my voice weak and low.

With a single tug
, the strings came loose and his shorts fell open. His quivering cock sprang out, pointing at me like he was a compass and I was the destination.

He was well
-endowed, so well that I had a moment of unease, wondering how all of that was going to fit inside my body. But then he pushed the shorts completely away and I was left to stare at his fully naked body. I was right; he was hairless down there. Completely smooth and pink.

Gavin grabbed his cock, starting at the base
, and stroked it all the way to the tip, and I couldn’t help but stare at the pearly white drop that glistened at the end. Without thinking, I pushed up and took him into my mouth, as far in as the space would allow. I sucked my way back to the tip, where I licked off that small amount of precum and swallowed it while I stared him in the eye.

“Fucking A,” he said as a shudder moved up his spine.

I cupped his tight balls in my palm and released him, lowering back against the couch and spreading my legs once more. He dropped down, hands on either side of me, holding himself up, hovering above me, completely crowding my space.

Maybe he was giving me a minute to change my mind.

The world would need to end for that to happen.

I reached between us and took him in my hand
. Positioning his head at my entrance, I swirled his silky skin around the lubricant my body was making by the cupful.

He tilted
back his head and made a sound of appreciation. His hips surged forward and in one hard thrust, he was completely sheathed in my heat.

Gavin fell over on top of me, his body shaking with what I hoped was complete satisfaction.

“Talie,” he moaned, holding himself still. Inside me, I felt the jerking of his cock as blood pumped through him.

“Wait
.” He groaned and slipped out.

I tried to grab him back
, but he was up off the couch and disappeared in seconds. I heard a door open and close and then he reappeared carrying several foil packets.

He already had one opened and covering his length, so the others he tossed on the coffee table.

“This isn’t going to be slow and gentle,” he said.

“Good.”

Gavin plunged into my wet depths, and I wrapped my legs around his waist like he was a wild bull and I was a cowboy. He hammered inside me, in and out, in and out. My mouth formed a silent O and pretty much stayed that way as sensation after sensation rippled over me. His breathing turned laborious and he reached down, wrapping his hand around my shoulder.

Using my body as leverage
, he plunged so deep inside me that I cried out. Then he tilted his hips so his pelvic bone was fused against my crotch. Gavin rotated his hips and all the pressure of his position bore down on my clit and an orgasm like no other ripped through my body.

It was like a tornado. It spun through my body, lifting everything and flinging it aside. If I didn’t have skin and bone to hold me together
, there would be nothing left.

I barely registered Gavin’s shout of release because I was too far gone with my own. I felt him pulsing inside me, and even though he was wearing a condom
, the thought of him coming inside me was almost enough to make me orgasm again.

Blood rushed in my ears and my heart beat thundered. It took a long time for me to come back to reality. When I did, Gavin was lying on top of me, his weight pressing me into the cushions.

I reached around and squeezed his butt, just because I could.

Oh, please. You would too.

He laughed and lifted his head, resting his forehead against mine. “That was fucking awesome.”

I sighed. I thought he might kiss me
; I really wanted him to.

But he didn’t.

Instead, he pushed up off me and got to his feet.

How could he stand already? My body was still experiencing aftershocks from what we just did.

Gavin didn’t say anything, but disappeared into the bathroom again, where I heard briefly running water and a toilet flush. I sat up, looking for my bottoms and seeing them lying across the room.

He appeared, no longer naked but dressed in a pair of tight black boxer briefs. He didn’t have an ounce of fat on his body
. He was utterly gorgeous.

He walked around and picked up my bottoms and tossed them over the couch to me.

I quickly pulled them on, suddenly feeling self-conscious about lying there naked. After retying my top around my neck, Gavin appeared before me, reaching out to take my arm and bringing it up for him to study. The markings were still very red and the skin was puffy with a rash.

“How’s this feeling?”

“Better,” I said. I’m pretty sure that kind of sex would have taken away the pain from being run over by a bulldozer.

“It’s going to look like this for a couple days yet.”

I nodded.

Now that the intense attraction between us had been acted upon
, a small amount of awkwardness descended.

I just had wild, hot, monkey sex with a stranger.

All I knew about him was that he lived on snack cakes (and how was it fair that he still looked like a freaking fitness model?) and lived at the beach.

Oh, and I knew he didn’t like me.

Beyond our insane sexual chemistry, we could barely hold a conversation without arguing.

“Thanks for taking care of this,” I said, pulling
back my arm avoiding his stare.

“If it starts to look worse or the pain intensifies come back over here and let me see it.”

He was dismissing me.

Well
, that was fine. It’s not like I was expecting some grand gesture. In fact, I was glad he didn’t act as if we meant something to each other. We didn’t.

“I’m sure it will be fine,” I said, standing up and moving around him to walk toward the door.

“Talie,” he called.

My heart leapt and my stomach fluttered. I turned back. “Yes?”

He came forward, his eyes like blue fire. I watched his lips, waiting for him to say something. Anything.

“Don’t forget this
.” He held out my ruined cover-up.

I took the fabric. “Thanks.”

“Sorry about ripping it.”

I wanted to be mad. Not about the ruined clothes
, but about something else. But I couldn’t. He gave me a lopsided boyish smile, and I completely forgot about how awkward and weird this was.

“It was worth it,” I retorted and w
inked. Then I let myself out the backdoor and walked down onto the sand.

I didn’t glance back
. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I knew he wouldn’t be standing in the window, watching me walk away.
