Safe From the Dark (17 page)

Evie
frowned at the thought of his other conquests. Noting that her fingers had
stilled, Colin pried his eyes open. His hazel eyes were predatory and very,
very hot.

“Problem?”

Casual
and meaningless, Asher. Who cares if he’s got the sex life of a horny tomcat?
Just get him out of your system.
That
sounded kind of rational, Evie thought. She squeezed the throbbing flesh in her
palm again and he groaned, thrusting up into her hand, filling her with
satisfaction at his helpless reaction to her touch.
All mine.

Okay,
less rational.

“Didn’t
I tell you to strip?” Colin’s voice was soft, but unmistakably commanding.

Evie
waited for her hackles to rise as they did when Jack bossed her around in the
bedroom. She’d preferred him courteous and charming, and his attempts to
dominate always left her feeling uncomfortable. With Colin, all she felt was a
humiliatingly intense rush of heat to her throbbing clit that left her confused
and wary.

But
she had no time to examine the feelings, because he wasted no time, stripping
off her shirt himself and twisting the front clasp of her bra, peeling back the
cups. The righteous indignation she was trying to work up melted as he shaped
her breasts with talented hands, rolling the nipples to hard, aching peaks.

“Fucking
sweet,” he murmured, and captured one nipple with his mouth to drive her mad
with hot, wet suction and gentle scrapes of his teeth.

Her
knees buckled at the sensation and the harsh, sexual tone, and the next thing
she knew, Colin was moving them into the bedroom, leaving their pile of clothes
on the hallway floor. Inside, he kicked the door closed and wrenched the quilt
back from the bed before lowering her to the mattress. He reached over to turn
on the bedside lamp and the room was flooded with soft light. Propping himself over
her, Colin returned his attention to her breasts, his cock a rigid length
against her thigh.

“I
love your nipples,” he rasped, flicking one with his tongue, “So plump and
eager to be sucked. The prettiest dusky pink. Is that tasty little clit the
same color? I’ll bet it’s swollen and hot for me.”

He
made quick work of the button of her jeans, and Evie jerked as two long fingers
slipped under her panties, wickedly circled her clit, and then eased inside in a
mind-numbing slide. Evie writhed under him, trying to increase the pace as he slowly
thrust his fingers deeper, but he held her pinned with his big body,
worshipping her breasts with his mouth.

God,
that feels good.

 Colin
let her nipple go with a last little nip and moved to the other one. She
strained against him, feeling the tension coil low in her abdomen.

“Please,
Colin – ”

“You’re
drenching my fingers, baby. Hot, tight little pussy, you’re going to wrap
around my cock like a glove. I can feel you pulsing. Does that mean you’re ready
to come?”

She
wouldn’t answer – a girl could only give up so much.

“Nothing
to say?”

 Colin
twisted his fingers in a move that sent lightning streaking along every nerve
ending, and his thumb came up to flick her throbbing clit once, twice, again. She
cried out.

“Let
go, Evie,” he urged, and bit down gently on her nipple as his thumb circled and
pressed, and his fingers plunged deep.

Evie
detonated into a million pieces, stars sparking behind her eyelids as pleasure
rained down on her body. She was barely aware that she was arching up, straining
to feed as much of her breast into his mouth as he could take while his fingers
masterfully stroked and flicked her to another dizzying peak. Evie winced internally
as he finally let her come down, pretty sure she’d shouted his name that last
time.

He
chuckled, and she would have smacked him, but her whole body was tingling in
delight, eager for more. She’d smack him later.

“If
that’s how you come when you’re determined to be difficult, Evie, I can’t wait
to see you cooperate.”

Colin
pulled his fingers free as she glared at him, but a blush raced up her cheeks
when he sucked the glistening digits into mouth for a leisurely taste. Still
smirking, he pulled off her jeans, boots, and panties, and finally they were
naked together on the bed.

Evie
felt her heart quake as Colin sat back on his heels, his eyes hot and hungry as
they perused her from head to toe. His fingers traced the edge of the bandage
on her side. She had the crazy urge to cover herself, but if this was going to
be the one night she permitted herself with Colin Daniels, she was going to
shove her inhibitions aside and take everything he had to offer. So instead,
she cupped her breasts, pinching her nipples lightly, and watched his pupils
dilate.

“Look
at you,” he whispered, “Watching you play with those pretty tits, I could come just
like this.”

He
wrapped a hand around his shaft, unabashedly stroking himself as he followed
her movements, rapt. A bead of fluid glimmered on the fat crown, and Evie’s
mouth watered for a taste.

“Don’t
you dare,” she ordered, and in one swift move she was up and leaning over his
cock to lap the bead from the sensitive tip, bracing one hand against his hip
as she tasted him.

Mmm…salt
and musk and Colin.

She
licked again and heard his moan above her. His thighs were rigid as he slid a
hand into her hair to cup the back of her head, holding her to him.

“Keep
that up and I’m going to spend the night fucking your sweet mouth, baby.” He
permitted himself one luxurious thrust that filled her with several throbbing
inches.

“Okay,”
she murmured agreeably as she pulled back, brushing his hand aside to track a
vein down the thick length of his shaft with her tongue. The taste of him was
heady, addictive, and her pussy pulsed when she drew the wide head back between
her lips for a decadent suckle.

“Later,”
he groaned, and Evie made a soft noise of disapproval as he pulled away.

Colin
urged her to her back as he reached into the night stand for a condom, rolling
it on swiftly before coming down over her, face to face, her breasts crushed
against his chest, her hips cradling his, and the thick heat of his cock
pressing into her soft pussy.

He
kissed her, his tongue sliding into her mouth, and she whimpered against him as
the full-body sensation threatened to overwhelm her. Pausing, Colin searched
her features, his hazel eyes intense, and suddenly Evie couldn’t take it.

Too
intimate.

Too
scary.

He
saw too much and that terrified her. She turned her face away.

“Evie
– ”

“Just
fuck me,” she whispered.

“We’re
going to talk about this.” His voice was deep and soft, but brooked no
argument.

“No
we’re not.”

Not
until Hell freezes over,
she thought.

Suddenly
Colin pulled back, but before Evie could feel rejected, he had flipped her over
and yanked her to her knees. With a gentle hand between her shoulder blades, Colin
pressed her breasts to the bed. The position left her ass in the air, on
display. Evie felt exposed and uncomfortably aroused as he spread her thighs wide
and just
looked
for a long moment. She knew she was wet and swollen, and
the heat filling her body had her fingers clenching in the sheets.

“Colin
– ”

“Hold
still.” He punctuated the order with a light slap to one ass cheek, and all
thoughts of protesting the unfamiliar position vanished as fire raced to her
clit. Evie was appalled – she’d enjoyed that far more than she should.

Colin
gently traced the bare folds of her pussy, and Evie felt shock race through her
as one slick finger slid between her cheeks to tease the rosette of her anus. Before
she could decide whether she liked the startling stroke of sensation, it was
replaced by the blunt head of his cock, pressing against her in a hot,
persuasive kiss.

“One
day, I’m going to take you here, Evie. But for now – ”

They
both groaned as he slid the crown down through her slick folds and snuggled it
against her opening. Evie had never felt more helpless, spread and waiting to
be filled, wet and panting and –
Oh God, just do it already!

She
was vaguely horrified with herself. Despite the protests of her feminist core –
I am not submissive or docile,
she assured herself – Evie was startled find
that once again she liked Colin taking control of her body, pleasuring her any
way he wanted to. Still, it rankled.

“You
know, it’s not fair,” she admitted, breathless, “You make me feel completely
out of control.” Evie pushed back, biting her lip at the feel of the head parting
her folds. But instead of filling her up,
the bastard
, Colin held her
hips steady.

“You
think you’re the only one who feels that way?” he countered, “You turn me into
a caveman. All I want to do is drag you back to my lair and keep you naked and
open so that I can do
this
until we’re both too tired to move.”

This
was his cock pressing into her
tight sheath. Evie cried out as the thick flesh rasped across sensitive nerve
endings, and her delicate muscles yielded to too many inches of hot, heavy
shaft.

“Fuck,
you’re tight. You okay?”

Her
fingers curled into the sheets. She licked her lips, panting.

“You’re…big.”

“Just
a little more.” He rocked his hips, nudging even deeper.

More?!

It
was too much, but that didn’t prevent her from arching her back, tilting her
hips for the last inch that pressed her ass against him, the sensation of being
impaled to the hilt overwhelming and incredible, his heavy sac cushioned
against the damp pad of her pussy.

“Hard
and fast,” she demanded.

“Uh-uh,”
murmured Colin, “My turn to be in charge.”

He
gripped her hips and started moving, and Evie lost her train of thought. It was
hard to stay annoyed when the man was treating her pussy to such a slow,
delicious fuck, each stroke bringing her closer, driving her higher. This was
beyond
good.

Colin
leaned over her, changing the angle, twining his fingers with hers, and though
she couldn’t see his face, she could feel his breath, his heartbeat pulsing
deep within her, and his hard muscled body hot against hers.
Too intimate
,
her heart warned, but the slow, deep thrusts were driving her crazy, and she
couldn’t focus on the emotional alarm bell right at this particular moment in
time.

“More,”
she begged, and couldn’t even feel bad about it.

“As
much as you want, baby,” he agreed, sounding a little smug, but he fucked her
harder, so she decided to forgive him.

Colin
slid one hand under her to caress her stomach, and then moved down between her
thighs to trace the taut edge where he stretched her with a feather light touch
that had her gasping.

 “Greedy
little pussy,” he murmured, breathless, “You’re taking all of me so sweetly.”

Not
altering his rhythm, Colin’s fingers found her clit, flicking it slowly in the
way he’d learned she liked. She cried out and he nuzzled the side of her face,
nibbling on her jaw.

“Come
for me one more time,” he ordered.

And
for one of the few times in their rocky association, Evie did exactly as she
was told.

COLIN
BARELY HAD THE presence of mind to pull away from Evie’s soft flesh and deal
with the condom before he fell back against the pillows and tugged her to his
chest. Pleasure still zinged through him from the most intense orgasm he’d ever
experienced, doubled by the way she came around him, milking his cock with the
most exquisite pressure, her throaty cries like music.

Colin
tried to drum up some remorse for having mounted Evie Asher and fucked her like
an animal but all he felt was a sense of bone-deep satisfaction as she cuddled
against him, her tongue reaching out to lap softly at his nipple while a soft
sound of contentment escaped her throat. The nipple beaded under her tongue,
and he felt an answering twitch in the vicinity of his cock, but surely that
wasn’t possible because she’d wrung him dry.

“That
was…good,” she murmured, and he felt like a fucking hero.

Evie
scraped fingernails along his abs and his dick took definite notice.

Then
she sighed.

Colin
knew that the first words out of her mouth would be serious, pulling them out
of this hazy sexual cocoon and back to harsh reality.

Not
yet.

He
rolled her, pinning her to the bed, taking her lips in a hard and mind-stealing
kiss, but before she had a chance to protest, he was kissing his way down to
those perfect tits and lower. When she realized his intent, she froze, sinking
her fingers into his hair. Colin paused at her navel, licking and nuzzling the
cute little cup. After a moment or two, he felt her clench her fingers, the
nails grazing his scalp as she pushed him down.
