The huskiness of her voice nearly did him in. Hell yeah, she was most assuredly aroused. But was she ready for more than a few tame kisses in the kitchen? “You’re sure you want to know?”
She bobbed her head and reached a hand across the table, covering his fist with her palm. “Please, tell me.”
Opening his hand, Leo entwined their fingers. The act seemed as natural as breathing. “I want you lying under me in that king-sized bed, baby. Naked,” he answered. Amanda’s fingers tightened. It urged him on. “Your soft, curvy body pressed against mine while I sink my cock deep. I’ll be slow and easy, sweetheart. I promise. All I can think about is watching you come all around me. I want to touch you. Suck you. Fuck you.”
“God, Leo.”
She started to release him, but he held firm. “Do I stop?” He badly wanted to continue. “Tell me. Whatever you ask, it’s yours, Amanda. I won’t push. Not unless it’s what you want.”
“It’s shocking to hear the words coming from you of all people. But I’m not going to sit here and pretend I don’t like them all the same. Everything you said, it’s what I’ve been imagining too.”
He shook his head and murmured, “Christ, baby, you can’t know what’s been going through my head. I have a hell of a dirty mind, sweets. And I’ve had my fair share of hot, sweaty dreams of you these last few nights.” His voice grew raspier with the fever that ran through his veins. “There’s nothing I want more than to drag you off to the bedroom and make love to you until dawn. But you have to know I’m feeling pretty damn intense about you lately. I don’t want a fling here. This isn’t a
what happens in Lake Tahoe stays in Lake Tahoe
sort of thing. Not for me.” He bent his lips to her pulse and licked the length of the vein pounding beneath her satiny skin.
“I-I’ve never been the fling sort, Leo.”
It wasn’t exactly the answer he wanted, but for now he’d make it work. He’d just have to prove to her how good they could be together. That their friendship had been nothing more than foreplay to the main event. That there could be so much more between them. Leo knew it in his gut.
Chapter Five
Walking into the bedroom, Amanda felt an immediate sense of panic. What had prompted her to say yes to Leo? Her nerves were frayed, and she was sure he could see her trembling. Even her anxiety couldn’t hinder the zing of anticipation that ran through her bloodstream though. She'd known this moment would come. Deep down she’d known what would happen if Leo came along with her on this trip. She’d nearly convinced herself it would all be make-believe but her body had known the truth.
As Leo turned on the little lamp next to the bed, Amanda clasped her hands in front of her and waited, suddenly unsure. Determination appeared to be stamped into his untamed features as he watched her from the other side of the bed. She took in the sight of him, from his mussed dark hair, to the way his hands fisted at his sides. In that moment, he seemed large and dangerous—and more man than she knew what to do with. The teasing friend she’d come to know was no longer present. In his place was an unyielding and dominant man hungry for sex. Amanda shivered.
As she stood there, Leo began to make his way around the side of the bed, each step bringing them closer together. A rush of feminine pleasure went through her when he took her in his arms and pressed his lips to hers.
This kiss wasn’t the delicate touching of flesh that it had been before. This time Leo took her mouth in wild abandon, dipping his tongue inside the wet cavern, then back out again, teasing and tasting. Amanda melted against him, moaning as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back with everything she had. Never in her life had anything been so good. So deep and all consuming. His lips demanded. His tongue teased and dueled with hers. Butterflies sprang to life in her stomach, and a quick burst of damp heat flooded her pussy.
Without warning, Leo pulled back, his green gaze fierce with arousal. “You’re scared, aren’t you, sweetheart?”
How could he know that from a single kiss? Unable to look him in the eye, Amanda’s gaze shot to his chest. “A little.”
Leo cupped the back of her neck and used his thumb to tip her chin up. “I’m going to make you feel so damn good. There won’t be time for fear, sweets.” He smiled, and his hands smoothed their way down her back to her bottom where they cupped and squeezed. Her flesh molded to his hands as if made for him.
“I fucking love your ass, Amanda. I’ve watched you walk. Did you know that?”
She shook her head, her throat dry as dirt.
He bent at the knees and pulled her so close that her pelvis cradled his rather impressive hard-on. “Good. I never wanted you to know.”
“Why?”
“Because we were friends and I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable around me.”
Always Mister Nice Guy, that was her Leo. “Well, it worked. I had no idea you ever looked at me, not like that.”
He licked his lips and stared at her chest, as if mentally picturing her naked breasts. “Mmm, you can bet I did, sweets. And now I want a better look. May I?”
Amanda swallowed hard as his hands began to massage her backside through the thin material of her shorts. Leo had somehow managed to wiggle the material higher, exposing the tiniest amount of her cotton panties. His rough fingers were there, teasing. Just as she was about to shout, “Take me!” he spoke again, driving her a little closer to insanity.
“Jesus, Amanda, the thought of being inside your soft, tight cunt is enough to make me come in my jeans here.”
“I’d really rather you didn’t, Leo.”
His eyes darkened. “You’re such a sweet surprise.”
She frowned in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“I was all set to sleep in the other room. I didn’t think you’d let me anywhere near you tonight. I hoped. Hell, I prayed that wouldn’t be the case, but I never figured it’d be answered.”
She snorted. “Great, so now you’re saying I’m easy?”
He chuckled. “Not at all. I’m just glad I’m not the only one feeling desperate and hungry here.”
Amanda pushed out of his arms and let her gaze take in the male perfection in front of her. “No, you aren’t the only one hungry.”
“Then maybe you’ll take those clothes off for me?”
After taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, Amanda began to inch the tank top up over her belly. She was plumper than the average woman. Would Leo be turned off when he saw her in the flesh? Only one way to find out. With Leo’s gaze zeroed in on her every move, Amanda tugged the top up and off. Tossing it to the floor, she tried to force herself to remain still. Not to cover herself from his roving gaze. When she’d put the tank top on she’d been thinking of sleeping in it, which meant no bra. Now, Amanda sort of wished she’d worn one anyway.
“I pegged it earlier,” Leo said, his voice low and deep.
Unsure what he meant, Amanda asked, “Pegged it?”
“You’re a goddess, pure and simple,” he murmured. “My sweet, fair-haired goddess.”
The way he said it, so sincere, it gave Amanda the confidence she needed to stand there, in the dimly lit room and let him look. In the meantime, there was certainly no harm in her doing a little looking of her own. From Leo’s short, dark hair, which curled up around his collar, to the jeans pulled tight over his straining erection, he was all male. Sexy and masculine and completely edible. Amanda licked her lips, her entire body vibrating with tension and excitement.
“The shorts and panties, pretty goddess,” Leo quietly commanded.
Her clit swelled and her fingers trembled as Amanda continued to strip out of her clothes. Within seconds she was completely nude. With Leo still fully clothed, Amanda was all too aware that she’d quite effectively given him the upper hand.
Leo tried to maintain a modicum of control, but it was damn hard. Literally. Son of a bitch, she was prettier than he’d imagined. Her hair, long and full, hung straight and unfettered past her shoulders, gleaming in the soft glow of the table lamp. Her tight black shorts had driven him to distraction. He kept imagining what she looked like
sans
the clothes, but his imagination hadn’t done her justice. She had curves in all the right places, and the neatly trimmed blonde curls covering her pussy were damp with her need. All he wanted to do was lap up every drop of her sweet cream. His mind came to a stuttering halt when his gaze settled on her breasts. Perfect, high, full tits he wanted to lick and suckle for hours. Damn, enough was enough.
Leo stepped closer and cupped her chin in his palm. “I swear I’m going to make you feel so damn good, baby.”
Amanda wrapped her arms around his neck. Leo groaned and covered her lips with his own. He licked and nibbled at her succulent bottom lip, hungry to take all he could. Scooping her up into his arms, Leo carried her to the bed. He laid her on top of the cool quilt, then stood back and started to strip out of his jeans. Amanda kept her eyes on his face—that was, until the last of his clothes joined hers on the floor. Finally she appeared to give in and let herself have a good long look. Her pretty gaze wandered down his body in a journey that left him singed. Her curious look stopped on his cock, and he watched her lick her lips.
Christ, he couldn’t take any more.
Leo wrapped a tight fist around the length of his dick, then moved toward her. When his knees hit the side of the mattress, he whispered, “Come here and suck it for me, sweets. Let me feel that pretty mouth wrapped tight around my cock.”
Her eyes widened as if shocked. Hell, if he didn’t know better he’d think she was a virgin. Suddenly, just as he was a heartbeat away from grabbing a handful of her silky hair and thrusting her onto his achingly hard cock, Amanda smiled and moved closer.
Leaning up on one elbow, she appeared to inhale. “I love the way you smell, Leo. All musky and male. It makes me want a taste.”
“Jesus, you can have more than a taste. In fact, you can have whatever you want. I’m yours to feast on, sweetheart.”
She hummed and licked the swollen head. “Mmm, I like that thought.” Her tongue darted out and licked again. Leo cursed and took her face in both hands—all too aware of how easily he could come. A single lick and he was ready to shoot his load all over lips and tongue, watch her swallow every last drop.
As she rubbed her tongue over the sensitive, bulbous tip once more, Leo threw his head back. He had to grit his teeth against the need to fuck her mouth. One satiny soft hand cupped and squeezed his balls and Leo damn near fell to his knees. “Fuck yeah, Amanda. Play with me, sweets.”
Amanda followed his lead and started to suck him in, but he halted her movements. She went rigid. “Did I do something wrong?”
“You’re doing everything exactly right, baby.” Leo’s voice roughened as he admitted, “The thing is, if you suck me right now I’ll come. So, how about you just open wide for me and give me your tongue.”
Amanda’s gaze never wavered from his as she followed his command and opened her mouth. “God, sweetheart,” Leo groaned. Taking the advantage, he guided his cock onto her waiting tongue, rubbing the swollen head back and forth. A drop of pre-come appeared. “Go ahead, lick it off, pretty goddess.”
His eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched tight when Amanda’s tongue swirled over the head, teasing and licking. “Mmm you’re being such a good girl, Amanda. Now you can suck. Deep. As deep as you can take me.”
Leo pushed inside the tiniest bit before Amanda took over. She slid her mouth down his length until it hit the back of her throat. She swallowed around his cock, and Leo’s balls drew up tight and hard. She moved up and down his pulsing erection, making love to him with her mouth. Ah, hell, too close. Leo pushed her away and Amanda let out the sweetest little whimper, as if unhappy at being denied his come.
“You can swallow later,” he murmured. “I promise.”
Amanda smiled and laid back. “I’ll hold you to that, Leo.”
Leo could only stare at the bounty before him. When it came to sex, he’d experienced nearly everything there was to experience, but with Amanda it was as if everything suddenly took on new meaning. Damn, he’d been ready to explode after only a few pulls from her mouth. Never had he been so quick on the draw. Then again, Amanda wasn’t just any woman. She was
the
woman. And it was going to take more than one hot night in Lake Tahoe to get her fully out of his system.
If
he even wanted her out of his system.
Instead of pouncing like he wanted, he took a moment to calm down and looked at her again. He’d never get tired of looking at Amanda. Her skin, the gentlest shade of ivory, seemed so soft—he could so easily bruise her. And the large pillows of her breasts had his mouth watering. They were pure perfection. Fat, pink nipples he desperately wanted to pop into his mouth.
Placing one knee between her thighs, Leo braced himself on his fist beside her head. Dipping low, he licked at the candied confection, savoring the sweet taste of her. This moment would be forever imprinted onto his brain. He’d never forget the moment he’d made love to Amanda, his goddess, the first time.
Her nipple hardened against his tongue as he leisurely flicked it back and forth. She moaned and arched upward, thrusting even more of her sensitized flesh into his mouth. When he gently bit down, Leo was forced to wrap an arm around her to keep her from collapsing back to the bed. She moaned and thrashed around, provoking him to do it all over again to her other pretty tit. This time he took his time, savoring the unique flavor of her.
As he lifted away, Amanda collapsed against the mattress, eyes closed. His cock swelled another inch when he noticed her nipples glistening wet from his ministrations. “Open your eyes for me, sweetheart.” Her lashes fluttered and Leo witnessed the heat in her brown eyes. It scorched him. “You’re hot and ready for me right now, aren’t you?”
She nodded as if too overwhelmed to speak. He smiled, understanding exactly. “Then open your legs for me,” he urged. “Invite me in, baby.” At first he was afraid she’d balk, too modest to expose herself so blatantly, but she only hesitated for a split second before moving her legs apart. She spread herself wide for him. Leo finally saw the satiny softness of her sex. God, he wanted her. He’d never ached for a woman the way he did Amanda. She made him feel things as she lay there, staring up at him with a trusting smile that curved her kiss-swollen lips.
Leo moved between her smooth, fleshy thighs and looked his fill. Her clit and plump pussy lips were totally exposed to his view. After licking his lips, he whispered, “If I don’t get me a taste of some of that sweet cream I’ll surely die, Amanda.”
“W-we certainly wouldn’t want that.”
Leo chuckled and lowered his head. With the first swipe of his tongue over her clit, she moaned. “Mmm, so sensitive.”
“Leo, please.”
“Shh, you had a chance to play. My turn.”
“Oh, God.”
He placed a tender kiss to her opening before licking her dewy lips. Her legs started to close, but Leo was bigger, stronger. He clutched her thighs and held her firmly in place. “You want me to stop?”
“No,” she whimpered. “Please, no.”
“Be still then and let me have this pussy.”
Not bothering to wait for a reply, Leo dipped his tongue into her cunt, tasting her tangy flavor. He’d never sampled anything so fucking good, so addicting. He inhaled her womanly scent, then sucked her clit in between his teeth and nibbled. Amanda’s hands flew to his head, clutching and grasping handfuls of his hair as she cried out for more. When his tongue thrust between her folds, she lost it completely and pushed against his face, undulating as he tongue-fucked her. A few more licks to her clit and she burst wide, screaming and straining against the unyielding hold his hands had on her soft, supple thighs. Her orgasm seemed to go on and on. Her flavor hit his tongue, and Leo couldn’t get enough. Needed more. He suckled and licked until she collapsed back, the muscles in her thighs going slack as they fell open, her hands dropping back to the bed. Leo was loath to pull away as he kept his tongue and lips against her sopping wet mound while she gained control.
