  Chapter Twenty-Four

  Moon lifts his weight from me and stands. He rolls off the condom, ties the end, and slips it inside his pocket before he pulls his pants up over his ass and returns his clothes to their normal pristine condition. I, on the other hand, will never be normal again.

  We just had sex on his dining table after finishing a meal. Anyone could have walked in. “Oh, God.” I cover my eyes. “The cameras.”

  He takes my free hand and lifts me into a sitting position. He gently pries my fingers from my face. He brings his lips to my cheek and speaks against my skin. “The cameras only have a view of the windows in here. Most of the rooms in the house are monitored that way.” He straightens and removes his phone from his back pocket. I’m kind of miffed until he speaks, “Turn off the entryway and downstairs cameras for the next hour.” He ends the call and rearranges the material of my dress so my breasts are covered again. I’ve been sitting here with my tits on display, utterly and completely shameless.

  “What about the other night when we were outside?” I ask.

  His palms settle on my cheeks and his gentle smile wraps around my heart. “I had you in the shadows, baby. No one watches what’s mine.”

  His.

  Am I… his? The thought doesn’t have me running and screaming in the other direction.

  Before I can ask another question, he lifts me beneath my legs and under my ass pulling me solidly into his chest. “What are you doing?” I laugh.

  “I need a shower and I want to fuck you properly in my bed.”

  A proper fuck as opposed to a table fuck, I guess. My cheeks heat at the thought. “If I shower, my makeup will come off and my bruises will ruin the mood.” I’m not really teasing.

  His lips slide over my cheek. “You’re beautiful, but I prefer you without all the makeup even if the bruises show. You’re strong and a fighter. That turns me the fuck on, baby.” He walks out of the dining room to the stairs. I want to object that I’m too heavy, but he’s powerful and I want to feel his strength. A man who will take me as I am and who isn’t intimidated by my assertiveness is a rarity.

  We shower and wash each other. It turns into a steamy soapy skin on soapy skin mind-blowing orgasm for me. I want to taste him and the shower is the perfect opportunity. He’s the only man I know who says no to a blow job.

  “I want to fuck you in my bed,” he tells me as he turns off the water and leads me to the bed. The house is cool but our bodies warm. We fall on the bed still wet without taking time to dry. I lick the drops of water from his neck and he in turn licks the ones on my breasts.

  “You taste like the finest fruit brandy,” he says in a husky voice.

  I laugh. “I’ve never heard of fruit brandy.”

  He lifts his head from my breast and props himself up using his forearm. “Fruit brandy is potent and sweet.” The fingers of his other hand trail along my skin until they reach my lips and one slides past them. I lick his finger and then suck it as he stares at my lips. Moon pulls his finger away and uses the saliva to circle my nipple. “Now I can taste your lips when I do this.” He bends his head and sucks my nipple past his teeth. I gasp at his words and lift my hips off the bed when he intensifies the suction.

  I look down our bodies. His skin is light chocolate brown where mine is milky white. Our differences are emphasized by the contrast, and it’s so fucking beautiful. He leaves my breast and kisses his way up, sliding his tongue across my sensitive flesh until his lips meet mine. He licks his tongue across my open lips. He pushes wet hair off my cheek and palms the side of my face. He licks me again. My upper lip and then the lower. He takes my lower lip between his teeth and adds just a touch of pressure before releasing it.

  “You are so fucking beautiful.” His thumb smudges beneath my eye and I know I must have smeared makeup. No other man could possibly think a bruised face with smeared makeup beautiful. He leans in and kisses just the tip of my nose. I smile and his white teeth flash. Moon is in a playful mood; whereas, I want him to get on with fucking me in his bed.

  He lowers his head and I think it’s for another kiss, but he pulls me close and flips us. I look down into his eyes. They’re a hot mess of inky sky. He positions my knees to either side of his hips. I sit up so my lower body is touching the tops of his thighs. He grips my breasts and slowly squeezes them until my head tips back and I moan. He releases one breast and I hear rustling from the side drawer. He hands me a condom package. I’ve never done this for a man. I tear it with my teeth as he did earlier and like the way his eyes shine when I do it. I glide the latex over his cock with steady concentration.

  “Ride me, baby,” he whispers the second the condom is in place.

  I lift up and position his cock so I can lower myself slowly. It’s exquisite torture. Moon watches my face as I move down over him. I’ve never had a man keep eye contact like Moon does. His cock hits my cervix and an uncomfortable ache makes me suck in air. My hands are wrapped around Moon’s wrists where his hands cover my breasts. I move them so I’m squeezing into the hard muscles of his chest. My hair is tangled and wet, and drops of water hit us both.

  My breasts are full and achy from Moon’s rough treatment. He reads my mind and my body, and the pressure on my breasts turns to massaging caresses. I moan at the feel of him inside me. I tighten the muscles of my legs and raise myself before lowering back down. I’m so sensitive that I actually feel the ridges of his cock even with the condom. Moon slides his hands down past my belly and around to my hips. He lifts me off his cock in the same slow glide I’ve been using. He makes me think we’re going to keep this slow. I’m wrong. He thrusts his hips up and drives me down in one motion.

  His eyes are wicked blue, and I know he loved the loud moan that left my throat. He does it again. The slow ride off his cock. The harsh slam down. It drives me crazy, and I dig my fingernails into his biceps when he repeats it. He’s fucking killing me with sensation, and I’m past the point of coherent thought.

  Once more he rams his cock inside me and then Moon loses control. There’s no more slow. He’s pumping me up and down on his cock while I gyrate my hips, and my breasts sway with our crazy rhythm. He’s watching my breasts and I can’t take it. I lean forward so his mouth closes over one peak. I’m so close to orgasm and all it takes is the pressure of his sharp teeth to take me over. Moon provides a glorious pain that travels straight to my pussy. I tighten my muscles and clench his cock. He doesn’t stop the pounding tempo. I come undone around him and still he continues until his breathless cry fills the room.

  I’m sprawled face up beside Moon, my body sweat-slicked and shaking. Moon leaves the bed, and I’m assuming he’s disposing of the condom because he returns less than a minute later. He slides across the sheet and pulls me against him. His fingers smooth the hair from my face. The kiss he places at my temple is feather light. He shifts us around and spoons me.

  The warmth of his arm circles me and his hand goes to my throat. I’m not into the whole choking thing that seems to be the rage. As his thumb runs across my cheek, I realize that he can feel the pulse at my neck, which is where his fingers rest. “Why a thumb ring?” I ask.

  Moon stills and his arms tighten fractionally. His voice is low when he says, “It’s my parents’ wedding bands melted down and formed into one ring.” His thumb slides over my cheek again and I’m relieved I didn’t put a damper on this incredible night.

  “And the other ring,” I ask softly.

  His answer is immediate this time. “It belonged to my grandfather, my father’s dad,” he clarifies. “He died when I was a baby and the ring was passed to my father. He gave it to me when I left for college. My dad was proud of my grandfather and wanted me to have something to remember him by.” A smile enters Moon’s voice. “My grandfather had eight children. My grandmother was his mistress. When she became pregnant with my father, he left his wife and married my grandmother. Danita is twenty years older than me. I don’t think she feels the same way about her dad
as my father did.”

  My eyes drift closed and I fall asleep with my pulse beating against Moon’s fingers.
