Up in Flames [The Heroes of Silver Springs 10] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic) (26 page)

“I’m not trying to torture you, Gina. I only want to make you feel good.”

He did. Oh, God, no man had ever made her feel like this. She teetered on the edge of a precipice of his creation. Perspiration gathered over her flesh. Her head raced with ecstasy. The feel of him caging her against him with his arms filled her senses with a dark taste of a passion she’d never known. It filled her with a dire need for more, too, one that compelled her to reach back, to shove her hands inside his jeans, and push them, along with his briefs, down his legs.

He shifted behind her, the hand that wasn’t on her pussy left her body, and she felt the material of his T-shirt glide up her back as he pulled it over his head with one hand. Then, oh, yeah, she felt his cock, hard and thick, against the small of her back.

“Do you know what I want to do to you tonight, Regina?” His breath lifted the fine strands of hair on her neck beneath her ear, sending a sizzling chill racing down her body.

She opened her mouth to answer, but little more than a moan escaped when he chose that moment to push his finger fully inside her pussy. He wiggled the digit inside her, stroked the sensitive walls of her channel, and then pulled it free only to add a second finger as he delved both deep inside her.

“I want to make love to your ass. I told you I would, remember?”

Regina couldn’t think as his fingers picked up pace inside her pussy, pounding in and out of her in a rhythm that stole her sanity. He wanted to make love to her?
Make love
to her? That part of his words reverberated in the sexual fog of her mind so loudly she almost missed the rest of what he said.

“Can I, sweetheart? Can I make love to your ass tonight?”

Everything inside her turned to an icy fire. He wanted to…
Oh, dear God.
She started to tremble at the mere thought of it. She knew people enjoyed sex that way. She’d listened to female friends talk about how they often got better orgasms when they had sex that way. But she’d never done it. Max was the only man who’d ever even touched her there.

And you liked it.

She had. Sweet Jesus, she remembered the intense rush of pleasure that had quickly dimmed the pain when he’d slid his finger into her ass. But, holy shit, his finger was a hell of a lot smaller than his cock. She wiggled her hips, grinding her back against the pulsing hardness of his dick as if she needed further confirmation that, yes, it was definitely far longer and thicker than his finger.

A low growl rumbled from his throat, and she felt his lips curve in a smile against the side of her neck. “Do I take that as a yes?”

Regina closed her hand over his, stilling his fingers in her pussy so she could gather her senses. She swallowed hard, licked her lips, and searched within herself for the right answer. Like everything else about him, she discovered she couldn’t deny him this either. “Yes, but…”

“There can’t be any buts, sweetheart,” he said when she trailed off. “Except for the sexy one I want to take.”

She smiled despite herself. Leave it to Max to make a wisecrack at a time like this. “I’m scared. I’ve never, well, you know?”

He melted around her. “There’s no reason to be scared, baby. We’ll take it slow. If you decide at any point it’s not what you want, all you have to do is say so and I’ll stop.”

His words, so soft, so sensual and caring, tightened a knot around her heart, reaffirming what she’d already come to realize. She was in love with Max Jasper. Completely, utterly in love with this tough, maddening, wonderful man who held her in his arms.

Unable to speak around the lump that had suddenly formed in her throat, she nodded.

“Do you have anything I can use for lubrication?”

She closed her eyes and took a deep, steadying breath. “There’s a tube in the drawer of the bedside table.”

His lips grazed the side of her neck before he eased back. “Crawl onto the bed for me. I’ll get the lube.”

Regina crawled onto the bed on arms and knees that quivered. She turned her head, watching Max as he pulled open the drawer in her nightstand, and saw the slow, mischievous smile unfold on his lips. Her cheeks heated as he pulled her favorite vibrating, remote-control bullet from the drawer, the warmth morphing to an inferno when he took out the nipple clamps next, and then finally the tube of lubrication he’d gone searching for.

His gaze collided with hers as he turned, objects in hand, his eyes dark and sparking with devilish intent. “You have a couple of interesting toys in there, too, Investigator.”

Regina bowed her head, thoroughly embarrassed. How could she have forgotten the other things that were in that drawer?

He hooked the chain stretching between the nipple clamps over one finger and closed his fist around the bullet, flexing his fingers on the object as if he were squeezing a cock. Seeing a man as masculine as Max doing something like that would’ve made her laugh at any other time. Tonight, however, it pulled a soft whimper of sheer desire from her throat. “Do I get to play with these, too?”

Something told her she didn’t really have to give him permission for anything, but she closed her eyes and nodded anyway.

“Sweetheart, are you embarrassed?” There was laughter in his voice, which only heightened her mortification.

“I forgot those were in there,” she managed to whisper.

“Do you enjoy them? Do you like the way they make you feel?”

“Not as much as I enjoy you and the way you make me feel,” she admitted, opening her eyes in time to see his fill with emotion.

“How about we see if you like it when the three of us gang up on you? Sit up for me.”

Regina pushed herself up and sat back on her heels as he climbed onto the bed and situated himself in front of her. He put the bullet aside and stretched the nipple clamps between his hands. Her nipples throbbed in anticipation at the sight. She had the clamps set just right. They would offer a low, pulsing pain she knew would create a sizzling path straight to her clit.

Max held his gaze as he slid one hand beneath her right breast, lifted it, and fasted the clip to her nipple. She sucked in a breath as the sharp onslaught of pain dulled to a pleasure that had her hips gyrating on their own accord.

“Hmm, you do like that, don’t you?” Max’s voice rang with approval as he lifted her left breast and attached the clamp to that nipple.

Regina let her head fall back on her shoulders as twin darts of pleasured pain raced through her body to collide in her clit.

“Damn, that’s so fucking sexy,” Max whispered and then tugged lightly on the chain, sending more darts shooting through her. “I didn’t know you had this exotic side to you, sweetheart. Geezus, I’m so glad I discovered it tonight.” He tugged on the chain again, this time using it to pull her forward as he inched back out of her way. “We’ll leave those on for now. Stay just like this for me.” He hooked a finger beneath her chin, pulled her head up, and kissed her with a hungered passion that nearly made her come before he slid off the bed, taking the pillows with him and leaving her quivering on all fours.

Max shoved the pillows between her belly and the mattress, giving her a soft support to rest on before he crawled onto the bed behind her. She jumped when his hands closed over her ass cheeks and forced herself to take deep, even breaths as his hands caressed her flesh. He dragged his hands down her outer thighs, skimmed them over the backs of her legs, and then pushed between them.

“Spread your legs wider for me, baby.” He made a low, appreciative sound when she did as he asked. “Damn, the view back here is fucking amazing. You’re so beautiful, Regina. Forget what I said earlier. This is how I would love to keep you for hours.”

“I’m not sure I could stand it.” God, she already felt too weak to hold herself up. She managed by sheer willpower alone, but when she felt the familiar cool silver bullet push between her sodden folds, her elbows nearly buckled.

“I’m going to slip this inside your pussy first,” Max told her as he slid the bullet along her inner folds, using her juices to lubricate it before pushing it inside her. “That way it will be in place when I’m ready for it.”

Her inner muscles clenched around the bullet as he eased it into her channel, closing around it, and holding it in place. She jerked again when it kicked into a rigorous vibration inside her, started to moan, and then cried out when the vibration stopped as quickly as it had begun.

“Just making sure I know how it works,” Max said, a hint of amusement in his tone.

“You’re teasing me,” Regina said through gritted teeth.

He folded himself over her, his lips peppering kisses over the back of her shoulders. “You’re right and I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist.”

“You know what they say about paybacks, don’t you, Lieutenant?” She felt him ease off of her, his hands skimming down her back as he straightened once again behind her.

“I’ll look forward to it, Investigator.” His hands returned to her ass, his fingers kneading her cheeks, and exploring her backside. One hand lifted, and he traced the parted crack of her ass with a fingertip. “Has anyone ever touched you here?”

Regina tensed. She couldn’t help it. She knew what he intended to do, but not knowing when was driving her anticipation higher and higher even as slivers of a dark, exotic fear sliced through her. “Not the way you do.”

Men had touched her ass before, cupped it in their palms, or squeezed a butt cheek. None of them had ever touched her as intimately as Max was now and certainly not the way he was about to.

“I like knowing that.” His finger pushed a little deeper between her cheeks, found her virgin hole, and he pressed the pad of his finger against it. “I like knowing I’ll be your first.”

He pulled the finger away, and she experienced an immediate sense of loss she hadn’t expected. Without his tender touch on her ass, her awareness shifted to her breasts, to the clamps still attached to her nipples. A dull throb continued to spread through her breasts, reverberating through her system, and keeping the fire burning in her clit.

“Relax your ass for me, baby.”

She tried, but the moment the cool gel touched her heated bottom, her muscles tensed again. She wanted to look back at Max, wanted to see what he was doing, but couldn’t bring herself to turn her head. She rested her forehead on the mattress as she felt the fingers of one of his hands spread her ass cheeks wider, and then shivered when the fingers of his other hand slipped between them.

He spread the gel along her crack, circled her forbidden hole, and then slowly began to work a finger inside. “Breathe, Regina,” he instructed softly as he worked the gel into her ass. “Relax and let it feel good.”

It did feel good. Sharp flares of heat whipped through her system as he wiggled his finger inside her ass, pulled it back, and worked a second finger inside her with the first. Both fingers breached her small hole with a slight pinching sensation, diving deep before he eased the back only to probe her anus again.

“Oh, God.” She squeezed her eyes shut as electric currents of white-hot, naught ecstasy flowed from one erogenous zone in her body to the other.

“That’s it, sweetheart. Do you feel the way your muscles are tightening around my fingers? I’ve got two inside you right now, Regina, and, my God, it’s beautiful the way your ass is pulling them in.”

His words only added to the cacophony of wicked needs his fingers were building inside her. He stretched her ass until she burned alive for more. She wanted it deeper, faster. Her clit pulsed, a rapid and agonizing throb, begging for him touch it, too. Her pussy muscles clenched around the bullet inside her, and she wished it would turn on the vibrations. God, she needed…something, anything, to help alleviate the torment bouncing off the inner walls of her pussy and ass.

“Max, please. I can’t…” Her forehead lolled from side to side on the mattress. Her eyes were squeezed so tightly shut she was starting to see tiny white lights behind her lids. She couldn’t stop her head and couldn’t open her eyes as her body struggled to make sense of the sensations taking control of her.

His fingers, buried deep, stilled inside her. “Do you want me to stop? All you have to do is say so. I’ll understand.”

“No.” The word left her on a strangled cry. “Jesus, no. Please, don’t stop. I want…I need…Oh, Max.” She could put the emotions ricocheting through her into words. She started to try again, but the sound morphed to a whimper when he eased both fingers free of her anus.

“It’s okay, baby.” He smoothed his other hand over the flesh of her ass, caressing the flame burning beneath her skin until it licked at his palm, demanding more. “I’m not stopping. I’ve got to put on a condom.”

Condom. Oh, dear God in heaven, this was it. She started to quiver so violently her elbows finally gave and her upper body collapsed on the mattress. The sudden drop sent intense twin darts of sharp, delicious painful pleasure shooting through her body when the clamps on her nipples connected with the mattress.

“Hurry. Max, I…I don’t know what to do. I can’t stand this. I’m burning up inside.”

“Hang on, Gina. One more second.”

She heard him fumbling with the foil wrapper, listened to the quiet sound as he tore it open, and felt him shifting slightly behind her. In her mind’s eye, she pictured his marvelous cock and saw his long fingers rolling the condom down his rigid shaft. A soft sigh left her lips when she felt the warmth of his body return to hers. Her heart raced, her pulse pounding in her ears as she waited for him to touch her tingling entrance again.

It wouldn’t be his fingers this time. Though he’d used two side by side, she knew the width and length of those digits in no way compared to his cock. Her muscles constricted at the thought, waiting for an invasion that would stretch her ass beyond madness, and likely send her riding on a wave of intense pain. The dark, exotic fear returned, icing the fire in her system even as it heightened the blazing in her ass.

“You were begging for me.” There was a trace of surprise in his huskily spoken words. “Damn, baby, you don’t know what that does to me. Will you do it some more? Will you beg me to make love to your ass, Regina?”
