She exhales softly, and I notice her grip on the bath towel eases ever so slightly.
Satisfaction swirls in my gut and I find the edge of the towel, allowing my fingertips to trail ever so gently over her soft skin.
“You’ve driven me to distraction all night long, and I think the only cure is to have a little taste. Just a nibble,” I assure her, nipping lightly at her ear. “Just the taste of you on my tongue and your naked body twisting in my bedsheets when you come. That’s all I’ll take.”
“Oh, is that all?” She tries for playful sarcasm, but the attempt to be blasé only amplifies her nervousness.
She needs a distraction, so I give her one.
Leaning close, I push down one side of the towel to expose her breast. She gasps, then lets out a hitching breath when I palm it in my hand. A soft “oh” of pleasure escapes her, and I smile faintly at the way her nipple hardens, begging for my attention.
“It’s not such a high price, is it?” I tease, voice low. I let my lips graze the shell of her ear while my finger traces the outline of that needy little nipple. “I did save your life, after all.”
Her lips curve up in reluctant amusement. “And here I thought you were being noble.”
“Nah, I’m a mercenary, not a knight.” Her head lolls back of its own accord, but she fights to keep it from falling against my shoulder.
“You should have told me in advance you expected compensation for your heroism,” she murmurs a bit breathlessly.
“You’ll enjoy the payment,” I assure her.
I know how badly she wants my attention on her nipple, so I release her breast and leave her wanting. She swallows, the muscles in her throat working as she fights to hide her disappointment. “I don’t even know you,” she points out.
Wry amusement tugs at the corners of my mouth. “And if you’re smart, you’ll keep it that way. But there’s no reason we can’t have a little fun tonight.”
“I can think of reasons,” she murmurs.
“I bet you can.”
My hand slides around her throat like it belongs there. I tighten my grip ever so slightly, and the faint sound that slips from her lights my blood on fire.
“What are you doing?” she asks softly. Wary, but not afraid.
“Something reckless.” I lean in to kiss her bare shoulder and pleasure shoots through me when she inhales sharply in response. I press my lips against her skin again, closer to the delicate column of her neck. A smirk claims my lips when I make it there, and she tilts her head ever so slightly to make room for me.
She wants it.
A soft moan slips out of her when my mouth connects with the sensitive skin, but then she cries out because I’m rougher than she expected. Hungrier.
Is she realizing this is a bad idea yet?
I am, I’m just not in the mood to fucking care.
The pretty little virgin shouldn’t have dressed herself up like a sacrifice tonight if she didn’t want to be one.
Chapter Ten
Brynn
My heart pounds as he kisses my neck so roughly, I expect it to bruise.
To be fair, I bruise quite easily, but I think even if I didn’t, I’d be marked by his unyielding mouth. Tingles of pleasure dance up and down my spine as he chokes me with one hand and teases me with the other. His free hand leaves my hip to squeeze my tits, and I feel lightheaded with need.
This should not be happening.
I try to resist him, but his touch is intoxicating. I can feel my defenses crumbling.
It doesn’t help at all that he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever encountered, and in a dark corner of my mind, a different reality plays out.
One where the choice might have been taken from me tonight by a man I didn’t want in any capacity. If he wouldn’t have shown up in that basement, that’s exactly what would have happened.
And he said he wouldn’t fuck me, so maybe there’s no reason to think I couldn’t let go with him tonight and leave in one piece tomorrow.
The thought makes me nervous, but Stacie does it all the time. Maybe it won’t be as big a deal as I think. Maybe it will just feel good, and it will unlock a whole new world of possibilities for me this year.
This is college. It’s the time to explore, isn’t it?
My thoughts jolt back to the present when his hand slides down my stomach and moves between my legs. It’s hard to stay upright when his fingertips graze my thigh, then he palms my pussy like it belongs to him, and I’m lost.
I’m in a haze as he pulls my body tightly against his, as he uses his fingers to tease my entrance, then spreads me open and pushes the tip of his finger inside me.
