“Am I hurting you? Do you want me to stop?” her knight in shining armor asked heroically.
She giggled at her own silliness before replying, “Stop and I may have to hurt you, Mr. Security Man.”
“Thank fuck for that, luv, I’m not sure I could have if I tried.” Jason was moving inside her as he spoke, his pumping rhythm managing to rub or touch every important or hungry nerve inside her.
Within moments Toni could feel another orgasm building. She drew her fingernails down the length of Jason’s back as she flew higher and higher.
Jason thrust his hips against hers, rapidly. The sound of his cock entering and exiting her pussy, the slap of skin making contact with skin and the hiss of oxygen bursting from their lungs were the only noises Toni could make out as she soared.
“Come with me, Toni…” Jason whispered into her ear. He gently nipped her earlobe as his body tensed and he thrust one last time. Toni flew over the edge. She climaxed so hard she thought she would never come back from it. She heard a scream and delighted moaning in the distance as her body spiraled out of control—every nerve pulsating with pleasure and not realizing at first the sounds of ecstasy she’d heard were, in fact, from her own mouth. Of course they were hers. How could she not moan from the sheer force of pleasure Jason had heaped on her?
* * * *
Jason was still lying over her, his body covering her own—he was heavy but she didn’t care. It was one of those perfect moments in time Toni knew she would never forget. She was tracing patterns over his back with her finger, spreading the moisture from the beads of sweat their lovemaking had produced into random shapes. It was when she realized that the shapes were in fact hearts that she stopped. She was getting ahead of herself. This was just sex, a night of pleasure that she had instigated. Hearts had no place in this. “Feels good… Touching my back… Relaxing,” Jason muttered, his voice muffled because his mouth was against her shoulder. “I need to move… Too heavy,” he continued, his lips brushing against her skin with every word.
It was an amazing sensation. It was turning her on. “You’re not too heavy,” she responded, and after a little giggle had escaped she added, “I’m enjoying having you flop all over me.”
“Aargh! I’m not sure how to take that,” Jason said as he lifted his weight from her, his bicep flexing as he moved. “I need to deal with the condom anyway. Stay put. I’ll be back in a flash.”
Toni didn’t think she could move if her life depended on it. Every inch of her was languid, reveling in the memory of what had just taken place. She heard the sound of the toilet flushing and enjoyed the sight of a very naked Jason as he walked back from the bathroom.
Jason was glorious. His body was sculpted with muscle, not bulky like a weightlifter but every muscle still prominent and very enjoyable to look at. His stomach was flat, a channel formed from each hip that led to his groin. Toni wanted to run her tongue in the groove. She had seen pictures of the male physique with those tempting little valleys but Toni had always thought they were airbrushed on for effect. She certainly had never seen a man’s body up close and in the flesh that resembled Jason’s. His cock was relaxed but as she lay there staring at his body, she saw it flex and move slightly.
“Honey, if you don’t stop looking at me like that, there will be a repeat performance of what we just did, very soon.”
She heard the growling threat but the wicked grin that Jason was giving her and the twinkle in his eye left her feeling powerful. She was turning him on. Overweight and socially awkward Toni Grimaldi had this hot as sin man looking at her like he wanted to eat her up. For the first time in her life, Toni felt sexy. She also was very keen on the idea of Jason eating her up, again.
“Promises, promises,” she replied. “Doesn’t look like you’ve got it in you,” she said as she brazenly reached out her hand and touched his cock. As her fingers made contact with his flesh, Jason hissed.
“Be careful, little lady. Don’t rile the sleeping beast.”
She burst out laughing. “Sleeping beast… That’s funny. Didn’t feel all that beastly to me. In fact it felt pretty damn good, if you ask me. What’s the opposite of beast?” she asked as she traced her fingers up and down his cock.
“I don’t know and if you keep touching me like that, I don’t really care,” Jason replied as he climbed back onto the bed.
She giggled again. For the life of her, Toni couldn’t remember being the giggly type but it seemed that she was where Jason was concerned.
They lay in each other’s arms for a while, caressing and stroking, each familiarizing themselves with the other’s body. Toni was euphoric. She had never felt so bold, so confident about her own sexuality. So close to someone.
“You okay, luv?”
“More than okay, Jason,” she replied, once again stroking her hand over Jason’s chin, enjoying the prickle of beard stubble under her fingertips.
“I’ve never felt better than I do at this moment.” The sigh escaping her lips was testament to the way she was feeling. “I’m glad you came to my rescue. Truth is, while I really was enjoying being on my own—or thinking I was—I was lonely. Today and tonight, sharing the sights, dinner and now this…” She waved her arm over the two of them. “It’s just so much better sharing.”
Toni was doing her best not to seem too desperate, keep things on the light side between her and Jason, but she was just so happy. She wanted to explain how much being with him meant to her.
But how far should she go?
“I’ve had a pretty good day too, luv. You’re good company. I’m used to doing things solo—comes with the job—but why are you over here alone? I thought someone in your position would have plenty of friends who would jump at the chance of a holiday. Yet here you are, halfway across the world alone. If you were my woman, there’s no way I’d let you travel without me. It’s not safe.”
Just the thought of being Jason’s ‘woman’, as he put it, sent a tingle up her spine. Oh how she wished she could find someone like him to share her life with, but it was the ‘someone in your position’ that brought her crashing back down from her fantasy world.
What had he meant by that? Did he think just because her family had money that she was popular, spent her days floating from one social event to another? It was so far from her reality it was laughable. He obviously didn’t know her very well, hadn’t done a thorough background check on her very boring life—a life she had created for herself, since she had refused so many invitations that they’d stopped coming.
In reality, Toni had very little to do with the rich, young socialites her family had hoped she would join ranks with. There was no way she wanted her picture splashed across the gossip pages, especially with her looks. She didn’t fit in. She didn’t want to live in that world and the ‘normal’ world never let her forget the other. She was a misfit.
“Will you stay the night with me?” Jason asked her “Let me hold you while we grab some shut-eye. We have a busy day of sightseeing tomorrow. I need my beauty sleep.” Jason kissed her on the tip of her nose and she sighed.
Toni didn’t want to go to sleep. She wanted to enjoy this feeling for as long as she could. Having his arms wrapped around her made her feel safe, content. Eventually, her new-found lucky break would end and Jason would come to his senses. Someone as gorgeous as Jason should be partnered with a tall, leggy blonde—some model or actress. Toni could almost imagine the woman that was meant to be with him. It was certainly not her. If it hadn’t been for her father’s money, she probably wouldn’t have even registered on his radar, and soon this job would be over for him.
But for now, she was going to enjoy every second she had with her hero-turned-bodyguard. If he was hired to protect her for the length of her holiday, she had another glorious week to enjoy herself.
Chapter Seven
Jason had been watching Toni sleep for twenty minutes. He needed to take a piss, but was reluctant to disturb her by moving. She looked so beautiful lying next to him. Her breasts pushed up against his side, the softness and swell of her tempting cleavage not helping the morning wood he was sporting. Her curly hair was splayed out on the pillow, and Jason was playing with one of the springy locks as he took in her delicate features. Her eyelashes were long, her lips full and inviting, so kissable. She was small against his frame, her stomach and hips lush and curvy, just right for a man to cuddle into. His other arm was numb from having it wrapped around her body but he didn’t care. He wanted to hold onto this moment for as long as he could. Jason wasn’t sure what sort of reaction he was going to receive when Toni awoke.
Will she be embarrassed from the previous night’s activities? Maybe regretful? Sorry that she’s slept with the hired help, even if it isn’t her that’s paying my wage
?
He didn’t think she was the type for a one-night stand but really, how could he know for sure? He’d only known her for a short time. He didn’t really know Toni at all.
Why am I even thinking about this kinda shit?
What does it matter how many blokes she’s fucked or how often she does it?
You’re sounding like a lovestruck teenager, a fucking sensitive new age guy and you’re no SNAG, there is nothing sensitive about you, bucko. Fuck ’em and leave ’em. That’s the motto. Right?
There’s no real future for us. Shit, I’ve never wanted a future before. Why the hell would I want to worry about one now?
’
Cause she’s different, dickhead,
the voice inside his head added helpfully.
But what did that matter? Different, bloody perfect or sexy as all get out didn’t change the fact that she was the daughter of one of the richest, most powerful men in Australia. Like her father was going to let her hook up with an ex-soldier who came from nowhere and had very little to offer his only daughter.
“What’s got you all scowly, Mr. Security Man? I bet you’ve got a case of numb arm from me lying on it all night.”
The sound of Toni’s voice snapped him back to the real world. She was looking up at him, her big brown eyes still holding a hint of sleepiness. He didn’t know how long Toni had been awake or even how long he’d been lost in thought. What he did know was that Toni was moving her arm down his body, and that any moment now her hand would make contact with his dick and find it rock-hard. He really needed to take a piss before he could concentrate on anything else.
“Morning, luv. How’d you sleep?” Jason asked as he stalled her arm from its expedition with his own. “I need to take a leak. Don’t go anywhere. I’ll be right back.”
Jason dragged his body away from hers, feeling the immediate loss of her warmth as he stood, already trying to decide what part of Toni’s body he’d feast on after his trip to the bathroom.
Maybe I could spend some time sucking on her tits, get her to straddle my cock and take a ride at the same time. Yeah, I could definitely see the promise in that
. His fantasy was interrupted by the sound of her voice.
“…me too, and I am in desperate need of a shower and coffee. I just don’t function well without caffeine, lots of it… I didn’t think I’d fall asleep last night or this morning, whatever time it was. I planned to get up before you woke, go back to my own room and get ready for the day ahead.”
Okay, so that pulled him up short—he hadn’t caught all of what she’d said to him but from the bits he had registered, it sounded like Toni wasn’t interested in them going for another round this morning, and while that idea disappointed Jason, it was Toni admitting she’d wanted to escape before he awoke that really knocked his ego around. After all, that was usually his forte… The irony was not lost on him. Putting a cheery smile on his face or hoping he was, Jason turned back toward her.
The sight of her stretching out on the bed gloriously naked nearly floored him. Her arms were stretched toward the ceiling, her back arched and raised off the bed, pushing her breasts up. Her nipples were hard and pointing up to the heavens. It was the hottest thing he’d ever seen. If he wasn’t already sporting a hard-on—one that was now causing him a huge amount of discomfort—it would have given him another.
Fuck me, gotta get a grip… Stop drooling and
say something, dickhead
.
“Okay, game plan is. I’ll use the bathroom and then you can freshen up while I organize some coffee. White with one. Right?” he managed to stammer out as he spun away from the erotic view before him, then staggered into the bathroom before slamming the door shut behind him for good measure so he wouldn’t be tempted to go back to the bed and take Toni again.
Waking to see the scowl on Jason’s face had certainly shaken Toni’s bravado. She hadn’t meant to fall asleep and had been disorientated for a moment when her eyes had opened. When she’d seen his body next to hers, the memories had flooded back quickly. Remembering the night’s activities, it was no wonder she was feeling a little stiff. It was a glorious feeling and Toni had been enjoying the reminiscing, until she’d noticed his scowl.
He didn’t waste a second escaping from the bed either.
She’d decided that as soon as Jason went into his bathroom she would jump up, grab her robe and go back to her room. She really didn’t want to face any excuses or regrets from him until after she was clean and full of coffee. When she heard the sound of the door bang shut, it startled her into action. Toni swung her legs over the edge of the mattress and got out of bed. Trying to be as quiet as she could, she put on her robe and crept from the room, the click of the door as it latched closed behind her a somber sign that her fantasy night was over. Safely back in the sanctuary of her own room, Toni took time to evaluate the situation. She boiled the little kettle the hotel supplied and made a coffee as she tried to decide how she would play it.
It was obvious that Jason had been annoyed that she was still in his bed—his actions had confirmed that when he’d stopped her from touching him and fled. Of course he probably wouldn’t say anything to her about it, given that he still had the job of shadowing her.
Maybe he’ll ask someone else to take over?
The thought put her into a panic.
No, he’d need a good reason and it would take at least a day for someone to get here to replace him. Guess old Ma and Pa wouldn’t want me traipsing around without their spies. If I can convince him I meant to go back to my room… That I’m not looking for a repeat performance… Maybe he’ll hang around. I wonder if he really wants to do the whole sightseeing, touristy thing with me or retreat back to following me, hiding in the shadows?
