Seaside Seduction (Sun Stroked Book 1) Page 8

  Danielle unhooked his button and listened to the hiss of his zipper as she lowered it. She pulled down his shorts, allowing his magnificent cock to spill out.

  “Mmm,” she moaned, licking her lips. The scent of his arousal called out to her. She closed her eyes for a brief moment, filling her lungs. Leaning forward, she brushed her tongue over his head and watched the way it pulsed in response. “I need to taste you first.”

  “Fuck,” he whispered, his hands tightening in her hair.

  Reaching beside her, she grabbed the raspberry-flavored body butter. She opened the jar, dipped into it and rubbed the lotion over his cock.

  “Holy fuck,” he bit out, his hips jerking forward.

  Danielle moaned, working the body butter over his shaft, making him slick and so damn hard, she was sure he was going to rupture an artery. She licked his slit, tasting the heady mixture of raspberry and tangy male cream. “Mmm, delicious,” she whispered. She glanced into his smoldering eyes. “Want a taste?”

  “Yeah,” he murmured, and bent his head down to meet hers. When his lips crashed down on hers, she slipped her tongue into his mouth, giving him a sample.

  A moment later she pulled back and watched him lick his lips. “That is so fucking sexy, Dani.” Lust raged in his eyes, and she sensed it took considerable effort for him to speak. “You sure know how to work magic with your lotions and scents.”

  She grinned and turned her attention back to his cock. She cupped his balls, her mouth taking possession of his shaft, drawing his impressive length in as deep as she possibly could. He began rocking his hips, fucking her mouth. She took her time with him, wanting to pleasure him the same way he’d been pleasuring her over the last few days. Her hands skimmed his sinewy muscles. She enjoyed the feel of his hard, sculpted body and the way his muscles bunched beneath her touch. As she continued to feast on his cock, her nipples hardened, and her pussy lubricated, aching to feel him deep inside her.

  “You’re so good at this, Dani, I’m not going to last.” His voice sounded strangled. Fueled by her need to taste him, she picked up the pace, her tongue working over his shaft. She stroked and sucked and discovered all the ways he liked her mouth on his cock. His muscles tightened, his shaft filled with heated blood and she could feel it swell beneath her tongue. Ever determined to taste his juice, Danielle moaned and slipped a finger between his ass cheeks.

  Ethan moved urgently against her, plunging his cock in and out of her slick mouth. Her own sex fluttered, and she squirmed against the tub, seeking release.

  A rumble of pleasure sounded low in his throat, and he pitched forward. “Yesss,” Ethan bit out, his cock pulsing in orgasm. Not wanting to waste a drop, she wrapped her mouth around his engorged tip, letting his seed shoot down her throat. She nuzzled his cock and spent a long time enjoying the taste of his cream.

  “Hey,” Ethan said, breaking the quiet between them.

  She glanced up at him. He shot her a scalding look before laying his big hands over her shoulders and drawing her to her feet. He pressed his mouth to hers and kissed her deeply. His tongue moved inside to play with hers. “Now it’s my turn to lick your pussy and taste your cream,” he murmured into her mouth.

  She lifted her dress for him. “By all means.”

  With a grin, he grabbed the hem from her, inched back and pulled the fabric over her head. She listened to the soft rustle of her clothes as he discarded them. He unhooked her bra and tossed it aside, then sank to his knees. The silky sweep of his hair against her skin brought on a shudder. Then a surge of warmth flooded her veins. He pressed his nose into her stomach, trailed kisses over her flesh and ripped her panties from her hips. She gasped with excitement.

  One finger brushed between her thighs to stroke her wet pussy. He breathed a kiss over her quivering sex lips, then buried his tongue inside her. That first sweet touch sent her to the moon and back. The heat of his mouth scorched her sensitive flesh. She gave a lusty groan and slackened against him. Strong hands wrapped around her waist and held her stable.

  Her fingers gripped the tub as raw desire seared her insides. He pushed one thick finger up inside her, and her body shook all over. A powerful, mind-numbing orgasm suddenly tore through her, taking her completely by surprise.

  Her legs shook, and she lost herself in his touch. “Ethan,” she cried out, reaching for him, her hands moving to his shoulders.

  “I got you, sweetheart,” he whispered from between her legs, his hands spanning her waist, anchoring her pussy to his mouth.

  Once her sex muscles stopped spasming, he gathered her into his arms and stepped into the tub. He pulled her on top of him and turned on the jets. The hot, scented water felt luxurious against her skin.

  She straddled his waist and he slipped a hand between her legs. Softly, gently, he stroked and smoothed her swollen pussy. She gave a contented moan and brushed a kiss over his mouth.

  “Nice,” she whispered, feeling completely free with him.

  “Mmm, very nice.” After a long, comfortable silence, he asked, “So, how was lunch with the girls? Are they enjoying their vacation?”

  She moaned and relaxed into conversation. “I think so. They didn’t say much. They were more interested in me and my sea god.”

  As he continued to caress her sex, he asked, “Sea god?”

  She chuckled and splashed warm water over her breasts.

  “Yeah, you looked like a Greek god rising from the water to rescue me that first day. I wasn’t even sure you were real.” His finger brushed over her labia and then moved to her clit.

  “Is that why you pinched me?” His voice was so tender, it made her insides ache.

  “Yup.”

  He glanced around. “Sometimes I wonder if all this is real, too, Dani.”

  She could feel his cock grow and press against her ass. “I know what you mean. It’s like a dream, isn’t it?”

  He grinned and pinched her nipple. “An erotic dream.”

  “And I’m not ready to wake up,” Danielle said, sliding lower until his hard cock breached her opening. “This place really is beautiful. I haven’t been taking advantage of the facilities at all.” She shimmied onto his cock, pushing it all the way up inside her.

  “I know, you’ve only been taking advantage of me,” Ethan teased, drawing small circles over her clit with the pad of his thumb.

  She stroked his face, his neck, his chest, while rocking her hips back and forth, slowly, gently. Her soft sigh of pleasure filled the room. “I hate that I have to leave here in a week. This place is paradise.”

  His voice dropped to a whisper. “It’s something else.”

  She closed her eyes and spent a long time rocking against him. He continued to touch her in a familiar way. His caress had satisfaction flowing through her body. She cupped her breasts, basking in the glow of Ethan’s touch.

  Minutes later, she opened her eyes and asked, “Have you been here long, Ethan?”

  She watched his chest rise and fall in an erratic pattern. “Yeah, a few months. And this is the first time I’ve ever had a sea bath or enjoyed the facilities.” He powered his hips upward, pushing a little harder against her.

  “Really?” She moaned and turned her attention to the pleasure between her legs.

  He nodded, and she could tell it was getting harder and harder for him to talk. God, she loved the easy, gentle way they were having sex. So soft, intimate and tender, and every bit as powerful as when they were role-playing.

  “Then we have one week to make up for that. Tomorrow we’ll have a Vichy shower, and the day after we’ll have a therapeutic rain-forest scrub. The day after that we’ll have a body massage and manicure. You can skip the manicure, but I’m definitely having that,” she added.

  His smile fell and the intense look that replaced it told her something was wrong. Something was definitely wrong.

  Her stomach dipped. “What is it?”

  He continued to look at her like there were going to be no tomorrows. Befor
e he could speak, a knock came on the door.

  “Your hour is up.”

  “Wow, already?” she asked. “I guess time flies when you’re having fun.” She angled her head. “Shall we finish this at my place? Or we could go to your place, it’s closer.”

  He caught her hand. “The closer the better, because I have to tell you something.”

  Danielle fell into step beside Ethan as they made their way to his cabana. Unfortunately, during their quick jaunt over the footpath, a small localized rain shower had moved overhead, remnants of the previous night’s storm, perhaps.

  Despite the drizzle, she noticed that Ethan had slowed his long steps, allowing her to keep up with him. She also noticed the way he wrapped his arm around her in a protective manner, packaging her against his solid body when she began to shiver, the contact creating an instant air of intimacy.

  The heat that radiated from him warmed her damp flesh. As his embrace pushed back the cold, it filled her entire being with want, with longing. The man was simply addictive.

  She nestled into him. His earthy scent assailed her senses, and even though they’d just made love, she ached to lose herself in his arms, his kisses and his bed, once again.

  When she tipped her head to meet his eyes, her blood pressure soared and her body hummed with anticipation. Danielle pushed her damp bangs from her forehead and blinked a drop from her lashes, wondering what he wanted to tell her.

  By the time they stepped up to his door, the shower had passed. “Go inside and grab some towels. I need to put these tools away.”

  Danielle rushed to the bathroom and grabbed two towels. She dried her hair and began closing all the windows. As she pulled them shut the breeze rustled a bunch of papers on the table, and a few sailed to the floor. She bent to pick them up. One paper in particular caught her attention. She scanned the words.

  As her heart twisted, it occurred to her that this was what Ethan wanted to talk to her about. In less than twenty-four hours, he’d be leaving to go overseas. The one thing he always wanted. The one thing he desired most.

  Her heart sank. Lauren was right. She should have kept this wild affair just about sex, because when it came right down to it, they lived completely different lives. So much for her desire to keep him around longer and see where this relationship would lead.

  Unlike all the other guys she’d been with, Ethan had taken the time to discover her needs and pleasure her, but lessons learned long ago had taught her not to put herself out there. She drew a breath and berated her stupidity for doing just that, because once again she was going to find herself alone.

  She rushed to replace the paper as he came inside. Danielle handed him a towel. Concealing her churning emotions, she straightened her spine and worked to sound casual, even though she felt rattled inside.

  “I guess the magic elixir really did fulfill your deepest desires, Ethan.” Despite her best efforts, she knew her voice sounded tight.

  His eyes moved over her face, perplexed. “What are you talking about, Dani? You know I don’t believe in any magic elixir.”

  She nodded toward the paper and offered an apologetic face. “I didn’t mean to read it. It just sort of happened.” She shifted back and forth from foot to foot. She forced a smile, but it was as shaky as her breath. “Believe in the elixir or not, you just got exactly what you wanted.”

  As she stood there looking at him, everything in her wanted to ask him to stay with her. But she couldn’t, and she wouldn’t, not when this was the one thing he desired more than anything else. He deserved happiness and deserved to feel in control again.

  “Congratulations. I’m happy for you, Ethan. Are you packed? Do you need any help?” She was rambling but couldn’t seem to stop herself.

  His smile fell from his face. He looked injured. “You are? No. No,” he said, replying to her questions in sequence.

  She rolled her shoulder. “Sure I’m happy. You told me it was your greatest desire. Now you get to go back to commanding fellow comrades. You must be thrilled.”

  She watched his throat work as he swallowed. He took one measured step toward her and scrubbed his hand over his chin like he was waging an internal battle.

  “Not really,” he replied soberly.

  Looking lost, and a little forlorn, he stepped into her personal space and dragged her into his arms. His rich scent singed her senses and brought on a shudder.

  They exchanged a long look, and then he drew a breath, as though centering himself. “Someone wise once told me that there is no ambiguity in the truth. So I’m going to lay it on the line and tell you the truth, Dani. Then it’s your turn.”

  She nodded.

  “You see, up until a few days ago, I never thought I’d feel like my old self again. But you changed all that for me. You gave me back my control, albeit in the bedroom. And when I lost that control again, it didn’t seem so scary. Not when I had you in my arms. I always thought going back into battle and reclaiming my position was what I truly wanted and what I truly needed. Turns out I was wrong.”

  Danielle blinked up at him, hardly able to believe what she was hearing.

  His eyes clouded, and she could feel his heart pounding in his chest. “I know you told me one night, but after spending so much time with you and making love with you all week, I know I want more.” Emotions crept into his voice when he added, “We’ve been playing games all week, and now I want to play for keeps.”

  She swallowed, feeling the tension drain from her body. “You do?”

  “Don’t you see, Dani? It’s not fellow comrades I want to command, it’s you.” His blue eyes glistened and his hands slid over her skin. “In the bedroom.”

  Her pulse leapt in her neck, heat bombarding her body. She met his probing gaze. He gathered her against him and brushed a tender kiss over her mouth. Her throat clenched. God, being in his arms felt so right. Her body responded to his touch and she became aware of the moisture between her legs.

  “My destiny is in my hands, Dani.”

  She melted into him, her body aching to join with his. “I’m in your hands, Ethan,” she whispered breathlessly.

  He grinned. “Exactly.” His hands slid to her ass, and she could feel his desire. Her nipples quivered in erotic delight. Her arms tangled around his neck, her fingers playing in his damp hair.

  “Now, tell me. Is this just about fulfilling a fantasy for you, or do you want to play for keeps, too?” She watched the way he sucked in his breath and held it.

  She took that window of opportunity to ease his worries and tell him exactly how she felt. “The truth is, I came here this afternoon debating whether to tell you how I felt, but the minute I looked at you I needed to feel you inside me again. I don’t ever want to stop feeling you inside me, Ethan.”

  As he let out a burst of air and pushed back her bangs, she became aware of the passion rising in him. “Good. Then let’s see where this crazy whirlwind relationship takes us.”

  Heart racing with excitement, she nodded eagerly and licked her lips. “There’s nothing I’d like better,” she said honestly. His mouth found hers for a deep, mind-numbing kiss. After a long moment, Danielle inched back. “You know, not only has the magic elixir fulfilled all my sexual desires, it has also fulfilled all my heart’s desires.”

  Ethan threw his head back and laughed out loud. “You and that damn magic elixir.”

  She rolled her eyes. “Oh, he of such little faith.” Grinning, she asked, “So where do we go from here?”

  He touched her all over, like he couldn’t get enough of her body. He nodded toward the lumber outside. “My destiny is working with my hands. I’d like to take up residence in Chicago and start my own carpentry business.” He winked at her. “Maybe you could toss a bit of work my way.”

  She made a face and shivered when he slipped a hand between her legs. One simple touch made her delirious with pleasure. “Well, like I said before, I haven’t seen your handiwork yet, so I’m not sure I can
recommend you for any job,” she teased playfully. Her libido roared to life.

  His warrior features hardened to reflect the energy that filled the room. “Oh, I think you’ve seen my handiwork.” With single-minded determination, he backed her up until the backs of her knees hit his bed. He pushed until she fell on it. His nostrils flared, his eyes glimmered with dark sensuality, and his gaze panned the length of her body as he made a slow pass over his bottom lip with his tongue.

  Ethan grabbed his work apron and leather belt. Stepping behind her, he used them to secure her wrists to his bedposts. Her body started to shake, her sex muscles trembling in anticipation.

  Trembling with sexual need, she writhed against the mattress, ecstatic to submit to his control. “I wasn’t referring to this handiwork, although I must say, you pass with flying colors.”

  She could hear the need, the urgency in her own voice.

  He stood beside her and brushed his knuckles over her hard nipples. He gave a low, rough laugh. “Oh, yeah?” he asked, his deep, sexy voice seducing all her senses.

  “Yeah,” she said, watching the front of his pants swell with need. Her body moistened from sexual fever and she gave a breathy moan.

  He stroked her with expertise and then his hand trailed lower to slip under her dress. He pushed aside her panties and slipped a thick finger into her creamy core. She widened her legs for him.

  With slow, torturous circles, his thumb worked her clit as his finger plunged deeper, slowly building her orgasm. Sparks shot through her body and heat blistered inside her, fragmenting her thoughts. Her breath hitched and she worked to think.

  “Oh, yeah,” she moaned. “I highly recommend you in this department.”

  He glared at her, his voice taking on a hard edge. “I highly recommend you in this department, who?” he bit out.

  “I highly recommend you in this department, Master.”
