Embracing Silence (6 page)

He should have let her go two days ago. He knew a hundred ways to get information out of her. And, that aside, he hadn’t needed to. She’d been missed almost immediately and the word on the street was she belonged to someone important, someone he’d been trying to meet. Adrian.

Even though he knew her relationship with Adrian wasn’t a sexual one, he felt compelled to put his mark on her. To fuck her until she knew who she belonged to. It was totally illogical and not like him at all. He had a plan and Silence had thrown it all to hell.

For two days he’d tortured himself with her nearness, holding her in his arms at night and watching her for hours on end. Before this night was over, he’d know every inch of her body intimately. Tomorrow he’d let her go and follow her back to Adrian.

Right now, he had more important matters to deal with.

Inhaling, he sucked in her unique scent. Her arousal was an aphrodisiac pushing him closer to the edge. He was legend for his control, in all areas, but Silence was making a mockery of it. He needed her the way he needed air to breathe.

Lowering his mouth, he tasted her pussy for the first time. Her flavor hit his tongue and went straight to his head and groin. Honey and cream. She was sweet and addictive.

Silence moaned low and long as he stroked his tongue up one side of her slick folds and down the other. Sitting back, he licked his lips, not wanting to waste a single drop. Using his thumbs, he opened her wide as he leaned forward again.

This time, he pressed the flat of his tongue against her swollen clit. Her entire body bowed back. “Yes,” she hissed. He knew she was poised on the edge of orgasm and it wouldn’t take much to drive her over.

Tienan stroked his fingers over her, slipping the tip of his finger in and out of her entrance, teasing her. She undulated her hips, searching for his touch. “More,” she pleaded.

He gave it to her, sliding two thick fingers into her at the same time he flicked his tongue over her clit. Silence cried out his name as she came around his hand. Her inner muscles tightened around him as he pumped his fingers in and out. She shuddered, breaking his silent command and lowering her hands to grip his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin. She wrapped her legs around him and held him close.

Finally, her hands slid away and she melted back against the pallet. Tienan licked at her folds. Silence whimpered and tried to squirm away, but he held her firm in his grasp until he was ready to release her.

Her eyelids were half closed and a smile turned up the corners of her mouth. He leaned down and kissed her, running his tongue along the seam of her lips until she parted to let him in. The taste of her cream mingled with the sweet flavor of her mouth. Her hands cupped his ass, her nails scoring him even through his leather pants.

Reluctantly, he pulled away. He’d have liked to extend their foreplay for hours, but he was too close to the edge. He stared down at her, the sated look in her violet-blue eyes pleasing him.

“Now it’s time for my next promise.” He sat back and reached for the waistband of his pants. “Now I fuck you.”

Chapter Four

Silence’s skin was sensitive from head to toe, every nerve ending energized and tender. She’d never had an orgasm like that in her life. It was like racing toward the sun, feeling the burn on her skin and in her soul, and living to tell about it. It was all encompassing, blocking out all else. She felt exhausted, yet strangely energized.

Her pussy was wet and pulsing. Tienan had lived up to his promise, eating her cunt until she’d cried out his name. His tongue was like rough velvet against her slick folds, pure magic as he’d circled and stroked her clit.

Silence licked her lips, moaning as her inner muscles quivered. His long, thick fingers had stretched her pussy in a delicious way. Not being able to touch him, all her focus had been on the wicked sensations between her thighs, culminating in an earth-shattering orgasm that still echoed through her body.

Although she’d thought it impossible to even think about having another orgasm any time soon, the second Tienan announced he was going to fuck her, her body went into overdrive. Her breathing increased until she was almost panting at the prospect.

He shoved his pants around his thighs, releasing his cock. She licked her lips again. This time in anticipation. His erection was thick and long, the bulbous head flaring wider. The tip was red and slick with pre-cum. Reaching out, Silence wrapped her hand around his shaft and squeezed.

Tienan froze, the muscles of his thighs and stomach tightening. “Again,” he commanded.

She tightened her fingers around the base of his cock before sliding it to the top and then down again. His eyes never left her hand. The cords of his neck were visible, beating rapidly as his heartbeat raced.

Up and down, she stroked his hard length, feeling it pulse against her palm. Her core clenched and released, following the same rhythm.

The flickering candles painted Tienan in their dim light. He looked ferocious, a beast bent on devouring her whole. And she was more than ready to feed his hunger.

None of this made sense. The attraction she felt toward Tienan went beyond anything she’d ever known. In her more logical moments, she put it down to some sort of psychological dependence on her captor. But deep in her heart, she knew she was lying to herself. Any other man but Tienan and she’d be fighting him to the death.

His large, tanned hand covered hers where it wrapped around his cock. “Let go.”

Reluctantly, she released him and he scooted upward until he was straddling her chest. The new position brought the head of his cock close to her lips. Her mouth began to salivate as she stared at him. She wanted to taste him, to let his flavor coat her tongue and mouth. Her lips parted and he groaned.

“Suck me.” His words were raw, his green eyes glittering in the dim light. Silence propped herself up on her elbows and leaned forward, letting her tongue barely touch the tip of his erection.

Tienan swore. His large hands slid behind her, one cupping the back of her head, the other supporting her shoulders.

Silence slid her tongue around his cock head, sampling his musky flavor. Oh, he tasted divine. He was so elemental, so natural and unashamed of his need, that it fired her desires. Her sex throbbed, her breasts ached, but above all that, she yearned to please him as he’d pleased her.

Trusting him to support her weight, she lifted both her arms off the ground. She felt weightless and free. Wrapping one hand around his shaft, she used the other one to cup the heavy sac between his thighs. His jaw clenched and more fluid seeped from the tip of his cock.

Lapping it up with her tongue, she continued to tease the sensitive flesh. Tienan thrust his hips forward, forcing her to take him into her mouth. She sucked his cock, letting her tongue tease the ridge around the head.

“So fucking good,” he growled. He continued to thrust his hips in and out, pushing himself slightly deeper each time. Silence panicked when his cock hit the back of her throat. She gagged, but he soothed her. “Just relax your throat. You can take more.” He withdrew and pushed in again, watching her carefully. “Take as much as you can.”

Silence relaxed and did as he asked. It felt strange, but she got used to it quickly. She loved the hot, hard feel of him in her hands, the way he grunted and groaned as her tongue and lips and mouth worked his cock. A light sheen of sweat covered his torso. His face looked as though it was carved from stone. His jaw was clenched tight, his skin pulled tight over his cheekbones, his eyes half closed.

His cock rippled and she knew he was close. She sucked harder, squeezing his balls gently before lightly scoring his sac with her nails.

Tienan pulled out of her mouth with a wet pop. Before she could ask why, he’d flipped her onto her stomach and pulled her up on all fours. The casual way he used his strength was frightening and a huge turn-on at the same time.

His hands held her hips, his fingers digging into her flesh. She felt the bump of the head of his cock at her entrance. “Let me in.” Silence sensed the double meaning to his words. Ignoring the deeper meaning, she spread her legs and pushed back. The bulbous tip slipped inside. She was wet and ready but still he stretched her.

Her fingers tightened around the blankets. She tilted her head back and cried out as he surged forward. Her core rippled around him, stretching to accommodate his girth.

“You’re so tight.” His words were little more than a tortured whisper.

“You’re so big,” she countered, groaning when he pulled back slightly before driving in again. This time he went even deeper.

He slid one of his hands around to her stomach and then lower, finding the hard nub at the apex of her thighs. “You can take me.” He fingered her clit, making her inner muscles spasm. “You were made for me.”

Banding his other arm around her midsection, he began to thrust. He picked up the tempo with each one, driving into her swollen flesh. Silence would have fallen forward if he hadn’t been holding her up. He teased her clit, alternating between featherlight caresses and firm strokes.

Her breathing was labored. The blood pounding in her ears blocked out all sound. Her body was slick with perspiration and their skin made a slapping sound every time he thrust. Every few strokes, he’d stop and grind his hips in a circular motion, trying to get even deeper inside her.

Silence couldn’t think, couldn’t speak. All she could do was feel the erotic sensations, the desperation. She shoved her hips back, wanting him harder and deeper. She didn’t want it to ever end, but she desperately needed to come.

Her orgasm was so close. “Tienan!” She didn’t know what to do to push herself over. As though he knew what she wanted, his hips began to hammer at her. “Yes,” she screamed, letting the passion take her.

Tienan thought he’d died and gone to heaven. He’d never believed such a place existed until now. He’d almost come while Silence was sucking his cock, her warm mouth and hot breath coating him each time she’d taken him between her lips.

And her body. Sweet lord, her body was hot. She was slender and lithe and muscular. Her hot, wet cunt squeezing him tight with every thrust. At first he’d worried about hurting her, but Silence was with him every step of the way, shoving her tight ass against his pelvis, driving him deeper with every stroke.

He pounded into her, his rigid self-control nonexistent. He lost track of time and place as he sought sweet oblivion in Silence. She was a contradiction to her name. For a woman who was impossibly quiet when she moved, she was loud when it came to sex. She moaned and groaned and cried out her passion, giving him everything she had.

When the first ripple of her orgasm skated over his cock, he lost it. He wanted to prolong the pleasure but couldn’t hold back any longer. Hot jets of semen spurted into her as he came. Her inner muscles squeezed his shaft as he pumped harder, wanting her to take every last drop of him.

Tienan wanted to shout, wanted to roar at the top of his lungs that this woman was his. And he did, but only in his mind. His training and innate caution kept him silent.

When Silence’s arms buckled, he caught her, easing her down to the pallet. She murmured something he couldn’t make out. A sound of contentment more than actual words. He smiled as he covered her with his much larger body, not wanting to lose the connection quite yet. She sighed and snuggled beneath him.

But not even he could stay erect forever and when his cock softened, he finally withdrew. Yanking his pants up, he fastened them before grabbing his T-shirt and pulling it on. Years of training couldn’t be undone and he wouldn’t take the risk of being caught with his pants down. Literally or figuratively.

Silence whimpered and shivered as he stretched out beside her. Pulling the blankets out from under them, he covered her as he lifted her on top of him, letting her use his body as a mattress.

She rooted around until she found a comfortable spot. With her head resting on his shoulder and her nose resting against his neck, she relaxed. He knew the moment she went to sleep. Totally boneless, her legs and arms wrapped around him.

Content, he closed his eyes and told himself he’d sleep for an hour. Then he’d have to wake her. They needed to talk. All the rules had changed.

When Tienan woke, he instinctively knew that more than an hour had passed. He also knew the room was empty. Silence was gone. Cursing himself, he sprang from the pallet and headed to the door.

How had she gotten past him?

His reflexes and instincts were legendary. No one snuck up on him. It should have been impossible for her to get up, dress and leave without him waking. But he’d done the unthinkable, broken the cardinal rule of his training. Deep in his subconscious, he’d trusted her.
