leaked from one of her big blue eyes but her
face stayed calm.
“Maybe this wasn’t a good idea, Ryker,” she said quietly.
“I’m not willing to give up quite yet,” I told her with a
smile.
“It’s just too much pressure and I don’t want to disappoint
you,” she mumbled.
Someone had done some damage to this woman, scarring her
emotionally. The thought of someone hurting her made me want to hunt down the
man and beat him to a bloody pulp.
Staring deep into her eyes, I told her, “There is no way you
could possibly disappoint me.”
“I highly doubt that,” she muttered.
“Hey,” I whispered, tilting up her face so she had no choice
but to look me in the eye. “What’s this all about? Tell me why you pulled away.
You were close, weren’t you?”
She nodded.
“Why didn’t you just let go, baby?” I asked her. I was
frustrated that she didn’t seem inclined to answer my questions.
“I don’t know.” She sighed. “It just didn’t feel right with
you…you know, down there. I felt alone and selfish.”
This was a first for me. A woman who felt selfish over
receiving oral sex only made me want her more. My cock sprang back to life,
swelling quickly in my jeans.
But I think I knew what she was getting at though. She
wanted me with her.
Taking her hand, I pressed it against my hardness. “Do you
feel that?” I asked.
She nodded, her eyes going wide.
Leaning down close to her ear, I whispered, “Sucking and
licking your beautiful pussy is something I want to do, something I enjoy. It
brings me pleasure to eat you. Is that so hard to understand?”
After staring at me intently for long seconds, she replied,
“It does surprise me.”
“It’s the truth,” I ground out in her ear and felt the
shiver that slid down her back. “I’d love to try again, if you’ll let me.” That
was something else new to me—asking permission. I held my breath as I waited
for her answer.
“All right, Ryker. We can try again.”
I could tell by her tone she already expected failure and it
hurt my ego to think that she had so little faith in us. I wasn’t going to fail
her but it meant opening a part of myself I hadn’t let anyone close to in
years…my heart.
Could I let her in just enough to give her what she needed?
As I stared down into her big blue eyes I suddenly knew if I let her in, even a
little, there would be no going back. But the thought didn’t make me want to
turn tail and run like it usually did when a woman got too close.
The decision was made and with it I felt the ironclad
control I had always held on to so tightly crumble around me. I let her in.
She watched my face intently as I stared at her and then she
smiled. She smiled at me as if she knew what was going through my mind.
Lowering my face and body slowly, I centered myself on top of her. I held still
a breath away from her and her arms and legs came up to wrap around me.
Our gazes locked until she lifted her head and pressed her
lips to mine. It was a sweet kiss that made my eyes slide closed and my chest
swell.
Our tongues tangled and our bodies slipped closer together,
fitting perfectly. Breaking our kiss only when I felt the need for breath, I
trailed my mouth down her neck. Her hands glided across my back, kneading and
squeezing here and there. I groaned as her seeking fingers slid under the
waistband of my jeans and she sank her nails into the top part of my ass.
Tugging me closer, she rubbed her pussy against me and I
could feel her heat through my jeans. I was breathing heavy as I slid down her
body far enough to reach her nipples with my mouth. Her back arched as I sucked
first one and then the other, gliding back and forth until they were wet and
standing at attention.
She had perfect breasts—made for my hands—with pale-pink
tips that got darker the longer I spent with them between my lips. Her skin
slid under my palms as if she were made of satin.
Allie’s hands continued to roam over me, missing
