Branded as Trouble (24 page)

“So show me. I’m a big girl. Maybe I like it rough.”

“You don’t know what you’re askin’.”

“Maybe you don’t know what you’re denying me. Or yourself.”

He snarled. “Don’t push me.”

India raised her chin. “Even if I do, I know you won’t hurt me.”

“I’ll use you. Hard.”

“It’s not using me if I’m a willing participant.”

“A willing participant? In rough sex? You’re sure?” Colt stalked her. “I’ll have you any way I want, as many times as I want, until I’ve had my fill of your hot little body. You understand, once I start, I won’t stop. Not even if you beg me.”

“But I am begging you to let me be what you need. I don’t know what that is unless you show me.”

Just like that…Colt lost it. He didn’t kiss her; he inhaled her.

The second he touched her, his cock inflated. His heart rate kicked up. He slid his hands over the curves of her hips, then hooked his thumbs in the waistband of her leggings and pulled them to her feet.

His finger traced the crack of her ass, past that tight pucker to the sticky slit of her pussy.

He ripped his mouth free. “Christ. You’re already wet.”

“That’s what seeing you half-naked, sweaty, beating the shit out of a punching bag does to me.”

His answer was a low growl as he yanked her shirt off. Colt dropped his boxing shorts and brought them both to the mat with India on the bottom and his hands beside her head.

Colt surged inside her. Pounding into that hot, pliant flesh.

Over and over. Harder and harder. Not kissing her. Not looking at her. Not touching her. Just fucking her.

India’s legs circled his lower back as her hands spread across his upper back. Bringing him closer.

Thrust, thrust, then a grinding withdrawal.

So perfect. Her pussy was so smooth and wet and hot.

The mat was slippery with sweat. He was slippery with sweat.

Sandwiched between Colt and the mat, India became slippery with sweat and they scooted sideways.

Colt hardly noticed, he was so focused on getting to that point of no return, each stroke all the way in, then all the way back out.

Thrust, thrust, grind. Thrust, thrust, grind.

She didn’t say a word, just raked her nails down his back and arched her hips hard. Colt knew her reactions well enough by now that he instinctively increased the side-to-side movement on every upstroke and downstroke.

That simple change set India off. She gasped, her cunt squeezed his cock like a vise and her nails gouged his ass with enough pressure she probably left bloody half-moon shapes on his skin.

He didn’t care. He felt powerful. His balls lifted. He threw back his head, waiting for that pulsing rush to start so he could finish.

“Colt. Wait. No condom.”

He finally looked at her. “I know. Because I wanted to do this.”

He pulled out, sat back on his knees and beat off. The roughness of 244

the glove abrading his cock took him to that point between pleasure and pain. The muscles in his belly, his groin, his anus tightened. He shouted as spurts of his hot seed shot out, dotting her torso, marking her as his.

Spent, he sagged back to catch his breath. But only for a minute.

When he opened his eyes, India was still all stretched out before him. Waiting.

Colt ripped off the gloves with his teeth, scooted her down, tucking his knees in her armpits. He traced the outline of her full, beautiful lips with his thumb. “Now you’re gonna lick me clean.

Open wide.” He leaned forward on his hands and fed his semi-hard cock into her mouth.

India moaned around the root of his shaft.

“See how good you taste on me?” He pumped in and out of that wetness and suctioning heat until he was almost completely hard again. Then he pulled out. “Now suck my balls. Get them wet.”

Her eyes were closed as she licked each one separately and blew across the dampness. Then she sucked both into her mouth and gently rolled them over her tongue.

Colt almost came when she released his nuts and her tongue ventured back to tickle the strip of skin in front of his anus.

“Enough.” He sat up and kissed her thoroughly before dragging her to her feet. “Bedroom. And there won’t be any talkin’ unless I say so, got it?”

She nodded.

In his room, Colt stripped back the covers. “Get in the middle of the bed on your hands and knees.” He lit a candle on the dresser and grabbed the lube.

He moved into the space between her calves and ran his hands up the outside of her legs to her hips. He bent his head and tongued the tattoo on her right butt cheek.

India sucked in a quick breath.

Then he turned his head and tongued the tattoo on her left butt cheek.

Another hissing intake of air.

Colt flattened his tongue and dragged it up and down her spine, over the infinity symbol—two long, twisted black lines—a tattoo that started above her butt and ended at the gigantic butterfly spread between her shoulder blades. No traditional tramp stamp for his India. Her skin was a canvas; every marking on her was a work of art.

“You’re so beautiful. So sexy. I could lap you up.” Colt scooted beneath her. He curled his hands around her ass and pulled her pussy to his mouth, so she was sitting on his face. He licked her folds and suckled her pussy lips and fucked her entrance with his tongue. When she was whimpering and grinding her hips, he latched onto her clit and sucked until she screamed. And while India was still coming down from her orgasm, Colt slid out and licked her again. From her piercing to the pucker of her ass.

He painted that sweet rosette with his saliva. When she mewled cries and thrust her hips back, he spread her ass cheeks with his 246

hands and thrust his tongue into that tight hole. Over and over.

Licking. Sucking. Making her loose and ready.

She softly whispered, “Oh God.”

Colt kissed his way up the crack of her ass and her arched spine. His body covered hers and he pressed his forehead to her nape. “Your ass is mine. No condom. I want you to feel every inch of me sliding into you. I want you to feel me coming inside you.”

India made that mewling sound again.

He lubed up his fingers and scattered kisses across her shoulders as he prepared her. One finger. Then two scissoring inside her until she relaxed. Colt rolled her over on her back.

Her dark gaze stayed on his hand sliding up and down his hard cock as he applied lubrication.

“I’ll go slow. At first. But we’ll see how long it lasts once I’m buried balls deep in your tight ass. Let me see that pretty pink pucker.”

India brought her knees by her shoulders and closed her eyes.

“Huh-uh. I want you to watch me take you.”

She lifted her head the same time Colt put his hands under her ass and lifted her across his thighs.

Colt rubbed the wet head of his cock over that slippery rosette.

“Don’t clench.” He pushed until the tip popped in through the ring of muscle.

Her breath hitched.

“Let me in. Like that. Look at us, Indy. See how hot it is as I’m pushin’ inside you?” Colt watched as his cock slid into her ass completely.

India clenched around him.

When he looked at her, she wore a smirk. Very carefully, he lowered his body over hers, not moving his cock, until they were nose to nose. Colt angled his head and kissed her. Sweetly, at first, then with heat. He began to thrust. “Every part of you belongs to me now.”

She arched and canted her hips, pushing his shaft deeper as her pelvis sought contact with his.

Colt knew he wasn’t going to last. Indy’s ass would be sore no matter how hard or easy he fucked her, so his greedy male nature urged him to fuck her hard.

So he did.

She loved it.

He pounded into her relentlessly, losing his mind when the friction of their groins sent her into a screaming orgasm. Her cunt and anal muscles contracted around his cock. Four deep, hard pumps and her body sucked his orgasm right out of him, as he shot inside that tight gripping channel.

Colt collapsed on her, kissing her neck, her mouth. Letting his cock soften before he withdrew. “You okay?”

“Uh-huh.” She twined her fingers in his hair. “Colt? I like that you showed me your rough side.”

“Good. Because it’s early and that was just round one.”

Colt had been summoned to a Sunday night McKay family dinner and he’d insisted on bringing India along. Which was why India’s stomach was tied in knots as they pulled up to Carson and Carolyn’s house.

The queasiness pissed her off. Why did she feel like a kid from the wrong side of the tracks being invited to the popular kid’s birthday party?

She already knew Colt’s family. Correction, she was friendly with the women who’d married into the McKay family—AJ and Macie. She’d met Channing once or twice. Carolyn was a loyal Sky Blue customer. She’d done tattoo work on Keely. But as far as really knowing them? Hell no.

Colt squeezed her hand. “You okay?”

I’d be fucking peachy keen if I was sucking down a fuzzy navel
right about now.
“Yeah. Why?”

“I dunno you seem…tense. Unlike yourself.” His gaze moved from the high neckline of her long-sleeved blouse to the hem of her ankle-length suede skirt and red cowgirl boots.

“I’m fine. Just a little tired. You kept me up way too late last night.”

“Was that an objection?”

Lorelei James

She flashed back to how thoroughly he’d claimed her, tamed her, proven to her his mastery over her body, proven he trusted her by showing her his dark, commanding, rough side without apology.

He’d fucked her, one way or another, eight times last night. Her belly churned for an entirely different reason than nerves, but from pure lust. “God, no. Not at all. Were you worried I didn’t enjoy it?”

“Maybe.” The ragged edge of his thumb rubbed across her knuckles. “I was rough. More than a little, and a lot out of control.”

“Are you ashamed?”

He shook his head. “I loved every second that you trusted me enough to let me lose control with you.”

“I do trust you, Colt. Besides, if I hadn’t liked it, I would’ve told you. I’m not exactly a shrinking violet.”

“And thank God for that.” He appeared to struggle with his next thoughts, so she jumped in and changed the subject.

“Dare I ask how many McKays are going to be in attendance?”

“Everyone in my immediate family. Ma decided to keep it simple.” He scowled. “I’m sure Skylar told you how hard it is keepin’ everyone straight with our extended family. And that ain’t counting the West side.”

India allowed a smirk. “Does that mean Blake isn’t going to be here?”

“Nope.”

“Pity. I like him.”

At Colt’s half-snarl, India kissed the back of his hand. “You’re so easy.”

“Only when it comes to you, sugar. Lemme come around and help you out.”

After he’d opened the door, she said, “I’m capable of bailing out of this monster rig on my own.”

“I know. Maybe I wanna steal a kiss before we head into the lion’s den.”

“Oh. Good plan.”

He tugged her close enough she felt his heartbeat against her chest. His kiss was surprisingly tender and soothing; she hadn’t realized she’d needed pacifying.

The sound of footsteps on gravel, then a loud, “Eww, gross.”

“Yeah, gross.”

Colt eased back from the kiss. Once India’s boots hit the ground, they faced the intruders.

Three boys. India recognized Kyler McKay and Thane McKay but not the last one with the same dark hair and blue eyes that ran in the McKay family.

“Uncle Colt, you were kissin’ India?” Kyler said in astonishment.

“Yep.”

“Hi Kyler, hi Thane,” India said. “Who’s this?”

“This is my nephew, Gib McKay, Colby and Channing’s oldest boy. Gib, this is India.”

“Hi Gib.”

“India is your Aunt Skylar’s sister.”

“India also draws tattoos. Really cool ones. She has needles and ink and everything.” Kyler frowned and touched her arm. “Hey, how come you covered up your tattoos? That snake is so awesome.”

India resisted jerking her arm back.

“Good question,” Colt said.

She really resisted sticking her tongue out at him.

Kyler blurted, “Are you gonna get married? Like Uncle Kade and Aunt Skylar done?”

“Why? You thinkin’ of proposing to my girl if I don’t get on the ball?” Colt teased.

“No way! Girls are gross.”

“I’m sure your mothers wouldn’t appreciate that opinion. Or your Aunt Keely,” Colt said dryly.

Kyler shot a nervous look over his shoulder. “She’d kick our butts.”

Colt rubbed his palm up her arm when she shivered. “Let’s all go inside. It’s getting chilly out here.”

“We can’t go back in yet.”

“Why not?”

Kyler sighed. “Grammy said we were bein’ too wild and riling up the babies, so she sent us outside to run off some energy.” He scrutinized Colt from his boots to his ballcap. “You wanna race to the end of the driveway?”

“Please?” Gib said.

“Please?” Thane added.

The knot in India’s stomach tightened.
Please don’t make me
walk in there by myself, Colt, please.

“Maybe in a bit.”

“That’s what all grownups say,” Kyler grumbled.

“Hey,
I
never say no to you guys.”

“But you promised you’d give us a chance to beat you.”

Kyler’s chest puffed up. “I’m faster than I was last time.”

Colt turned to her and winked. “Wait here. I’ll be right back.”
