In The Still of the Night [The Protectors 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) (4 page)

“So, have a fling. Don’t expect it to go anywhere, and enjoy yourself. Just don’t get serious about him.”

“I’ve never had a fling in my life. You know that. I don’t know how.” Jenna sighed. She looked at her watch and pushed her salad back. “It’s time to get back to work.”

“We’ll talk more later. I bet Riley is going to show up at your place before then.” Jenna scooted her chair back from the table.

“Why do you think that?” Jenna asked.

“Because he’d be a fool not to.” Tina winked at her.

* * * *

An insistent pounding on her door woke Jenna. She rubbed her face. She must have fallen asleep reading. She stood up, a little unsteady and still groggy. The knocking started again followed by a demanding voice. She knew that voice.

“Open the door, Jenna.”

If she wasn’t awake before, she was now. She swallowed and unlocked the door. At the sound of the locks, the knocking stopped. She opened the door a couple of inches, but Riley shoved it the rest of the way open with his shoulder.

“What took you so damn long?” he asked.

“I was asleep on the couch.” She ran one hand through her mussed hair. “What do you want anyway?”

“Todd.” One word.

“What about him?”

“He called and has been watching you, and you didn’t tell me.” He took a step closer.

Jenna took a step back. “I didn’t see where I needed to. If he calls back, I’m going to call the police.”

“Next time you call me. I don’t want you here by yourself with that nut case anywhere near you.” Riley advanced on her.

She quickly ran out of room to back up. He continued to advance.

“I should turn you over my knee and spank that sweet ass of yours.” He stopped less than a foot from her.

“You wouldn’t dare,” she said, her chin going up.

“Don’t you get it? You can’t play around with Todd. He’s dangerous.” He lifted her chin higher with two fingers so she was looking up into his eyes.

“I know better than you do, I think.” She jerked her chin away from him.

He didn’t say anything else. Instead, he ran his hand around beneath her hair to the nape of her neck and pulled her toward him until her mouth was inches from his. He grabbed her at the small of her back with the other one. He slowly lowered his mouth that last little bit and kissed her. It started off as a mere brush of lips against hers. She didn’t allow him to back away. She wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him closer.

His mouth pressed against hers. Her lips parted, and she nibbled at his lower lip until he opened for her. He let her lead the kiss for a few seconds then took over and deepened it, eating at her mouth with his. His hands dropped to cup her ass in his big hands. She whimpered as he drew her up against him even tighter. The hard ridge of his erection brushed against her belly. It pleased her that he was as aroused as she was. Her lack of control had to be from just waking up from a dream about him. No way would she have been this wanton otherwise.

Jenna pressed against Riley, rubbing her abdomen against his hard cock. He responded by squeezing her ass with his hands.

“You better say no now if you don’t want this because I’m going to fuck you if you don’t.”

His blunt words turned her on even more. God, she wanted him. But…he would be leaving in a few days if not tomorrow. Could she have sex without any sort of relationship? She had essentially already done that.

When she didn’t answer, he took it as a yes and reached down and picked her up in his arms. He carried her into the bedroom and dropped her on the bed where she bounced. He didn’t say anything, just pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it to the floor. He raised his eyebrows at her.

“Strip.”

She came up on her elbows. “Just like that? Strip.”

“Just like that.” He paused with his hand on the button of his jeans. “Unless you’re saying no.”

Jenna licked her lips. Then she began unbuttoning her blouse. He watched her as one by one, each button came undone. He unzipped his jeans but didn’t pull them down. She slid first one shoulder then the other out of the blouse and let it fall to the bed. When she went to unclasp her bra, he stopped her.

“Wait. I’ll do that in a minute.”

She shrugged and unbuttoned her slacks then leaned back and began wiggling out of them. Once they got over her ass, Riley reached up and pulled them the rest of the way off her body. He took her hands and pulled her back to a sitting position and effortlessly removed her bra. The cool air touched her nipples, causing them to snap to attention. He stood back and looked at them without touching them.

He looked down into her eyes. “You know what I want to do with you? I want to tie you up and take you hard and fast.” He touched her trembling lips with one finger. “But you can’t handle that, can you?”

Jenna didn’t answer him. She drew in one shaky breath after another. His declaration thrilled her and scared her all at the same time. The conflicting emotions must have shown on her face since he cocked his head and seemed to think of something. He reached for her again and rolled her thong down until he could pull it off as well.

“Get in the center of the bed. Put your hands over your head, and hold on to the headboard.” He pulled off his boots and then his jeans.

He stood before her gloriously naked, his thick cock standing out from his body. He fisted a hand around his cock and slowly stroked it. A drop of pre-cum leaked from the tip. She licked her lips, wanting to taste his salty essence. Slowly, she scooted up the center of the bed until she could grasp the headboard with her hands. She never took her eyes off his straining cock. He rolled a condom over the thick width of it.

“Now don’t move them no matter what. Do you understand?” He asked.

She nodded, watching as he crawled up on the bed between her legs. He leaned over her until his head was level with her breasts. His tongue flicked out and touched her nipple. Then he laved all around the torrid peak until she was thrusting her chest toward his mouth wanting—needing him to lick her nipple. Instead, he moved to the other breast and repeated the torturous journey. His sheathed cock rested lightly against her pussy. She raised her hips to rub against him. He arched away from her.

He licked his way down between her breasts until he reached her bellybutton. There he dipped his tongue inside then nipped at her belly. She couldn’t stop the whimper that escaped her mouth. He chuckled and continued his journey downward, licking and biting lightly along the way. He bypassed her wet folds and aching clit in favor of her legs. His lips kissed and his teeth grazed along the inside of her thighs to where he licked along the back of her knees.

Jenna squirmed, needing him to return to her burning center. There seemed to be no mercy in him at first. Finally, he eased back upward and blew against her wet folds. He used his fingers to spread her lips and blew against her again. The cool air tickled, deepening her arousal to her surprise. Just when she despaired that he would do anything, he ran the flat of his tongue over her clit. She cried out at the sudden attention and bowed toward him. He stopped and waited until she had settled down.

One of his fingers touched her opening, but he didn’t enter. Instead, he licked her from top to bottom and back up again. He stiffened his tongue, probing until she rose from the bed to grab at his head. He stopped and growled at her.

“Put your hands back on the headboard. I told you not to move them.”

Jenna immediately returned them to their previous position and waited for him to resume eating her pussy. She waited and began to worry that he wouldn’t anymore. Finally, Riley lowered his head and licked along her folds. He lapped at her then ran his tongue around her clit over and over again until she was following him with her pelvis in an effort to get him to lick directly over the aching nub. After awhile, she whimpered and started begging.

“Please. Please.”

He lifted his head to gaze up the line of her body at her. “Please what?”

“Please do something. I can’t stand it.”

“Yes, you can. You can handle a lot more.”

Jenna moved her hands then jerked them back to the headboard at a hard stare from him.

“Please.”

He smiled and lowered his head. Thinking he would only tease her again, it totally surprised her when he ran the flat of his tongue over her clit once, twice, then drew it into his mouth and sucked. Jenna burned from the center of her body down to her pussy. He drew it farther into his mouth then latched onto it with his teeth, so he could run his tongue along it over and over. She bucked beneath him as she came, hard and fast. Her ears rang, and she held on to the headboard for dear life.

He brought her down slowly then flipped her over to all fours and pushed her down to the bed with one hand between her shoulder blades. His cock circled her opening, spreading her juices around, then plunged into her. He buried himself in her with a single thrust. She whimpered and tried to sit up, but his big hand held her down. He began to pump into her over and over. Jenna found herself pushing back to meet his hard thrusts. The friction began to build another climax deep within her.

He popped her ass first on one cheek then the other. The sting resonated to her pussy and created the burn that signaled her climax was close. She squeezed him inside her, and it was his turn to groan. He spanked her again, and she pushed back against him for more. He laughed and repeated the hard pats until she was groaning and lifting to his hand. Her climax inched closer and closer. What was happening to her? She was not only letting him spank her but reveling in it. This couldn’t be her. He began pounding into her harder and faster until she exploded around him, squeezing him with her pelvic muscles. She was rewarded with his loud groan and shout as he came inside of her, filling the condom with his hot seed.

After a minute of breathing hard against her back, he pulled out and disappeared from the bed. She collapsed and panted, trying to regain her breath. A few seconds later, he returned and climbed back in the bed. She was surprised, expecting him to dress and leave now that he had gotten what he wanted. He pulled the covers over them and then drew her back against his body.

“Sleep. We’ll talk in the morning.”

It didn’t take him long to fall asleep. She, on the other hand, stayed awake for long minutes later. She thought about how she’d let him order her to keep her hands above her head. He had restrained her using her own hands. Then he’d spanked her, and she’d enjoyed it. She had to admit that she did. What was going on with her? What had he done to her? Finally, she fell asleep.

Chapter Four

Sometime after midnight, Jenna awoke to a hand between her legs and a mouth at her breast. She smiled and hummed her appreciation when the hand began stroking her clit. Pleasure filled her even as a subtle pressure began to build inside of her. Riley’s fingers found her opening and thrust inward. His thumb circled her clit once again. The fingers of his other hand plucked at her nipple. His teeth grazed over the other nipple. The hard length of him lay pulsing against her hip. He pressed against her in time with his fingers fucking inside of her.

She moaned and raised her hips to meet his thrusts. He nipped at her breast then soothed the sting with his tongue. The small pain set a new burning deep within her. The pressure continued to build. She held his head in her hands. His scent filled her nose—something clean with the hint of leather. It suited him. Nothing prepared her for the way her body reacted to his touch. He withdrew his fingers from her pussy and gently circled here clit using her juices.

“Mmm.” She couldn’t contain the sound.

She was going to come. In no time, he had her hot, burning, and all but begging for him to fuck her. His fingers pressed against her clit then he pinched it, and the painful pleasure sent her over the edge. She screamed as she exploded. Her eyes squeezed shut so tightly a rainbow of colors burst behind them. She bucked, but he threw one leg over hers to keep her still.

“That’s it, come for me. Give me all that sweet honey you have.” Riley kept the pressure going on then off until she was crying for him to stop.

“No more. I can’t. Oh, God.”

“That’s it, settle down now.” He pulled her back into his arms and ran a hand up and down her arm then caressed her belly until it stopped quivering.

After what seemed like hours later, though probably was only a few minutes, Jenna could breath normally again and realized Riley’s cock still pressed hard and thick against her.

“What about you?” she asked.

“Hmm?” He nuzzled the back of her neck beneath her hair.

“Don’t you want to come?”

“When you’ve recovered enough, I want you to suck my cock.”

His bluntness startled her, but she guessed it was to be expected of someone like him. Someone hard and used to getting their way about everything. She smiled to herself. She hadn’t gotten to taste him either time they’d had sex. She would enjoy it and drag out his climax like he had hers. Grinning mischievously, Jenna pulled out of his arms and scooted down the bed until she was eye level with his penis. She ran a hand down its length, marveling at the silky feel of the massive cock. It jerked against her hand. This would be so good.

She looked up the line of his body to watch him position a pillow behind his back so he could watch her. He rested his hands on either side of him on the bed. One brow went up as he waited for her to take him into her mouth. She licked her lower lip and watched his face as she lowered her mouth over him. His lids fell to half mast when her wet mouth slowly encased him as far as she could go. She sucked hard on the way back up and let him go with an audible pop. He smiled down at her. With one hand, she held him at the base of the stalk and the other slid down to his balls where she manipulated them carefully.

She licked with the flat of her tongue up to the crown of his mushroom-shaped head then licked around the underside of the cap. He groaned when she ran her tongue along the slit on top. He rewarded her with a drop of salty pre-cum. She rolled it around in her mouth, savoring it. Then she sucked just the top of him in her mouth and pulled upward with the suction of her mouth. He groaned and wrapped her hair in one hand.

“Stop teasing me, and suck my cock.”

She hummed around him and swallowed him down until he hit the back of her throat. She swallowed again and then pulled upward. His hand tightened in her hair and pulled at it enough to sting her scalp. She swallowed him again and reveled in the grunting sound he made. She knew she was getting to him as he leaked cum now for her with each upward pull of her mouth. She gently squeezed his balls then raked her nails over them. Now he raised his hips to meet her when she went down on him.

“That’s it, baby. Your hot mouth has me so close. I’m going to fill your throat with my cum. I want you to drink it all.” Riley pulled on her hair again.

Faster and harder, Jenna sucked until she felt his balls draw up in her hand, and he held her head as he pumped into her mouth.

“I’m going to come. Suck me dry.”

He erupted into her mouth, and she fought to swallow all of him. He yelled out and pumped his seed into her mouth. She slowly brought him down and then licked the top of his cock. He sat up and ran a thumb over the corner of her mouth and held it up for her to suck a bit of his essence from it. He smiled at her.

“That was damn good, baby. How about a shower?”

Jenna stretched and looked over at the clock then groaned.

“It’s only two in the morning. How about we go back to sleep and take a shower in the morning?”

“Hmm, I can do that.”

She crawled up the bed on her hands and knees. Riley grabbed her and kissed her nose. Jenna rolled over to curl up on her side. He played with her hair and massaged her scalp until finally, she fell back asleep.

* * * *

Riley woke slowly with the weight of someone curled up around his body. Images of the night before filled his head. Jenna. He’d come over to confront her about not calling him about Todd. He’d told her to let him know if the bastard bothered her anymore. It didn’t matter that they’d fought a few nights before. She still should have called him.

He leaned up a few inches and breathed in her scent, soft like summer rain. He ran his hand down her hair then pulled it aside so he could rub her back. She made an appreciatory sound that rumbled against his chest. Her breasts rubbed lightly over his chest. He was sure his chest hair rasped against her nipples. Her legs moved, and one knee lightly grazed his balls. He held his breath.

“Watch your knee. I rather like my balls just like they are, in working order.”

“Mmm, sorry.” She stretched out her leg and then rolled off him to stretch. He watched her and grew hard at the sight.

“I’m going to go start coffee. Then I want that shower you promised me.” Jenna sat up on the edge of the bed and stretched again.

“You keep doing that and you’re going to be flat on your back with me buried so deep, you taste me in the back of your throat.” Riley growled.

“That’s right, threaten me.” She laughed and jumped up when he lunged toward her.

He watched her disappear through the bedroom door before he groaned and got out of bed. They needed to talk. He wasn’t looking forward to it. She would not be happy. Perhaps the sex would make it easier. He heaved out a sigh. Not hardly.

She returned a few minutes later and started the shower. He followed her into the bathroom and watched as she set out towels. Then she reached in and checked the water temperature. She smiled up at him.

“Water’s ready. I’ll wash your back, and you can wash mine.”

They both stepped into the shower and let the water cascade over them. Then Riley scooted her to the back so he could shield most of the water from getting into her face. He scrubbed her back then ran it around in circles, soothing her skin before reaching around her to massage the soap into her breasts.

“Nope. No shower sex. I’m hungry for food right now. Hand me the cloth so I can finish bathing then I’ll leave the shower to you,” she said over her shoulder.

“Sorry, but I have other ideas.” He ran his soapy hands down her stomach and back up to play with her nipples.

Her moan caused him to smile. She aroused so damn easy. She reached around and took hold of his cock, and he stilled. So she wanted to play that way. He was game. He turned her around and shoved his hand between her legs searching for her clit with his soapy fingers. She grasped his cock in her hands and pumped her hand up and down it while caressing his balls. He located her clit and began gently petting it. She drew in a deep breath. Then she began pulling on him in an attempt to distract him, he was sure. It nearly worked. He bent down and took her mouth, keeping the fingers of one hand busy with her pussy while his other hand played with her breast. His mouth devoured hers. He sucked on her tongue then ran his tongue around the inside of her mouth. She moaned and lost her rhythm momentarily.

Still, it wasn’t long before he felt the signs of his eminent release. She was going to win this little game. Actually, they both would win. He smiled, barring his teeth. God, she was driving him crazy. He didn’t need to let her get under his skin. He would be leaving soon.

She ran her thumb around the underside of his cock then squeezed his balls, and his climax took him by surprise. He shouted out and braced himself on the tile on either side of her head. His cum coated her belly. She leaned her head against his chest, laughing.

“Men are so easy.”

“Watch out,” he said around pants.

He finally straightened up and turned her around to the shower, pulling her back enough to keep the water out of her face.

“Wash off then go fix me my breakfast, woman.”

“You owe me, Riley. I aim to collect, too.” She finished washing and stepped out of the shower to dry off.

Riley stuck his head out of the shower. “I’ll take care of you, don’t worry.” Then he returned to the dwindling hot water and hurriedly cleaned up.

By the time he had dried off and pulled on his jeans, she had the batter for pancakes whipped up and bacon in the oven. He smiled at her attire. She had on an oversized T-shirt and a pair of shorts. She looked like a little girl in it. When he entered the kitchen, her gaze drifted across his bare chest and down to where he hadn’t bothered to button his jeans.

“Like what you see?” he teased.

“Um hum.”

He watched as she checked the bacon. “We still need to talk.”

She answered him without looking up. “After we eat.”

Thirty minutes later, they had finished eating. He watched as she loaded the dishwasher then wiped her hands on a towel after washing them. When she turned around, he saw the resignation in her eyes. She expected this to be as difficult as he knew it would be. She walked into the living room and collapsed on the couch. He eyed the chair across the coffee table but chose to sit next to her instead.

“Why didn’t you tell me about Todd contacting you?” he asked.

“Because I didn’t think it was your business. I really thought you would already be gone anyway.”

“I’m not leaving until he gets the message that you are off limits.” Where in the hell had that come from?

“You’ve got to be kidding. You can’t just come in here and yell at me about something that’s not your concern then fuck me and leave again,” she yelled, standing up.

“Sit back down. You’re the only one yelling right now.” Riley stood up and towered over her.

“I have a right to yell. You’re butting into my business.”

“You made it my business when you let me in your bed.” He struggled to keep from raising his voice, too.

You seduced me into having sex with you,” she pushed.

“And you’re a grown woman who can say no. You didn’t want to say no.”

“I think it’s time you left.” She jammed her hands on her hips.

He nearly smiled. She looked ridiculous standing in that T-shirt with her hands on her hips. He advanced on her until she backed up. He reached out to pull her toward him, and she flinched. It stopped him. She actually thought he would hit her. It floored him. He had never hit a woman in his life. That she thought him capable shook him. He swallowed and drew in a deep breath. Then he turned and walked back to the bedroom to finish dressing. She was right. He needed to leave.
