Unconditional Love (24 page)

I smiled and placed my hands on her hips and moved slowly in and out of her.

She smiled back at me and brought her lips to mine, but stopped just short of them and said, “I love you.”

Something happened in that moment and I was overcome with such a strong emotion. I closed my eyes and got lost in her lovemaking. When the song “Adore You” by Miley Cyrus began playing, I looked into her eyes.

“Say it again,” I whispered. At first she looked confused, and then a smile spread across her face.

She whispered to me, “I love you.”

I closed my eyes. I needed to hear her say it. I needed to hear it from her lips while she made love to me.

I opened my eyes and whispered, “Say my name, too.”

She moved up and down so slowly as she said, “I love you, Lark.”

I shook my head and looked into her eyes. “Say my name,
mi amor
.”

She stopped, and when I saw her eyes filling with tears, I wanted to look away but I couldn’t. She took a deep breath and leaned down and gently kissed me.

She pulled back slightly and her eyes moved everywhere on my face before she embraced my eyes again. “I love you, Michael.”

I wrapped my arms around her and held onto her as tight as I could. My heart was pounding in my chest so hard I was sure she could feel it. “Say it again, please,” I said as my voice cracked.

She let out a sob as she said it again, “I love you, Michael. I love you so much it scares me.”

I stood up as she wrapped her legs around my waist. I walked over to the small bunk that was in the office and laid her down on it. I moved onto her and slowly pushed myself back into her as she arched her back and let out a moan.

I placed my hands on the sides of her face as I slowly made love to her. I looked into her beautiful caramel eyes, now filled with tears, and I smiled as I whispered, “I love you, Azurdee. I love you so much. I’ll love you forever.”

Azurdee wrapped her arms around me and held onto me as she said, “I’m going to come.”

I pushed myself into her harder and whispered in her ear as I came, “I’ll. Love. You. Forever.”

I lay wrapped in Lark’s arms as I silently cried. I’d never felt these emotions before in my life. There is no way to measure the love I was feeling in my heart. The moment he told me he loved me my whole world changed. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do for this man. No mountain I wouldn’t climb to prove to him how much I loved him.

I closed my eyes tightly and thought back to the look in his eyes when he whispered to me that he loved me. I smiled and slowly turned to look at Lark. I could hear his breathing—slow and steady—as he lay next to me. I never wanted this moment to end.

When I heard his cell phone go off, my heart dropped. Lark jumped up and grabbed it from his pants on the floor. He frowned as he read it and then put it back into his pocket. He looked over at me and smiled that same smile that captured my heart a year ago.

“Hey,” he said as he moved back over to the bed.

I slid over and said, “Hey.”

He stood over me and held out his hand. When I looked down I felt the flush move across my cheeks. He was holding my panties in his hand.

“Put your hands out,
mi amor
.”

My heart started pounding and I instantly felt a rush of wetness between my legs. I wasn’t sure how he could turn me on so much when we had just made love not too long ago.

When Lark made love to me it was beyond beautiful, but when Lark played with me…it turned me on beyond belief. His voice would change and his eyes turned to nothing but lust and the only thing I wanted from him was to feel him inside me.

I put my hands above my head and closed my eyes. He was going to use my own panties to tie my hands together and I was beyond excited. “Lark,” I barely got out as he tied my hands together and pushed them over my head.

“Don’t touch me Azurdee, or I’ll stop.”

I shook my head, “I can’t. I have to touch you.”

He narrowed his eyes at me and repeated, “Don’t touch me, baby, cause I really don’t want to have to stop.”

He pushed my legs apart and buried his face between my legs as I let out a moan. I moved my hands down and tried to run them through Lark’s hair and he immediately stopped and pulled back.

No! No! No! Don’t stop.

I pulled my hands back over my head and Lark chuckled. “Don’t touch, baby, or I’ll completely stop.”

I thrashed my head from side to side. “No. Please. Lark, please!”

I hated that I turned so desperate like this, but his touch…his lips…his tongue. It did things to me that sent me into another realm. He moved his tongue slowly and gently over my clit and I could feel the build up.

Oh God. This was going to be a big one. I pulled my hands down and realized the moment I touched him what I had done. He pulled back and smiled as he stood up.

“Wait. Oh God. Shit. Fuck. Bastard hamburger!”

Lark tilted his head and laughed. “Bastard hamburger?”

I shook my head and looked at him. “What?” I was breathing like I had just run a race. Every single emotion I could possibly have was pulsing through my veins. I was confused, pissed, and horny as fuck.

Lark reached down and pulled me up as he picked me up and said, “Wrap your legs around me, Azurdee. I’m going to fuck you hard and fast.”

Oh yes.

Lark walked up to the office wall and slammed me against it with such force I let out a small cry. He slammed into me so fast I didn’t even have time to register anything. He quickly began fucking me so hard and fast that I wanted to beg him to slow down.

“Oh God, fuck, Azurdee. You’re always so wet for me, baby.”

I tried to wrap my arms around him as he pulled in and out with such force I was sure I would be sore for the rest of the day. Once I felt the build up, I dropped my head back and called out, “Yes!”

Lark thrust twice more and stopped as he let out a long moan. “Ahh…damn that felt so good.”

I pulled my head up and looked at him. “What? No! No! I didn’t get to come.” I began moving my hips to get any kind of friction against his body that I could. Lark smiled and winked at me as he pulled out of me and gently set me down.

He took a few steps back and said, “Better get dressed and head back to the house.”

My mouth dropped open and I just stood there naked. “You’re…I don’t get to…but…”

Lark quickly pulled his pants on and up. “I told you…don’t touch.”

With that he laughed and walked out the door.
Oh. My. God. He just denied me an orgasm.
I quickly located my clothing and got dressed as I plotted my revenge on Mr. Williams.

As I walked out of the barn, I was brought back to the moment Lark told me he loved me. I smiled as I made my way to the house, touching my lips gently. I would forgive him in just a few minutes for leaving me hanging.

I’ll love you forever.

My heart began beating in my chest as I closed my eyes and remembered the moment like it was a second ago. When I walked up onto the front porch and saw him sitting with his mother talking, I was so overcome with emotion I fought to hold back my tears. He glanced up at me and something about his eyes was different. He seemed relaxed for the first time since I’d known him. He smiled and I couldn’t help but smile back.

I quickly wiped the smile off my face and shot him a dirty look. He smiled bigger and Joyce turned and looked at me. “Why Azurdee, your face is flushed. Sweetheart, are you hot?”

I glanced at her and smiled before looking back at Lark and saying, “I am a bit hot. I’ll have to go take a cold shower and…relieve myself from the heat.”

Lark’s smile faded and his mouth dropped open. Ryn was walking up behind me when Joyce looked at her and began saying something about dinner.

Lark stood up and I shook my head, held up my hand to stop him from walking toward me and mouthed the words,
asshole,
as he put his hand on his chest and said, “I’m wounded.”

I shrugged my shoulders and turned and made my way into the house. I knew that me taking a shower right now with everyone awake would drive Lark mad. I hugged myself as I made my way upstairs. I heard Joyce telling Ryn not to worry about Tristan; he would be fine and back in a few hours. I stopped and turned around to see Ryn walking by. She looked up at me and gave me a weak smile.

I smiled back and made a note to talk to her later. I had a feeling Ryn and Tristan wanted more from each other than either of them would admit.

I stood in the cold shower cursing Lark. I leaned my head back and let the cool water run through my long hair. It wasn’t too terribly hot out, but hot enough to make it miserable with my long hair. I reached for the soap and began quickly cleaning myself off. I hadn’t had any intentions of finishing off what Lark started, but the moment I heard the bathroom door open and close quietly I knew I had to do it. I pushed my hand down between my legs and began touching myself.

“Ohh...yes…oh God…” I panted as I began moving my hand faster. I was waiting for him to tell me to push my fingers inside myself and I could almost feel the orgasm building.

I heard something drop and opened the door to find Joyce standing there shielding her eyes.

“Oh my God!” I screamed out.

“Oh goodness…Azurdee, I’m in here!” Joyce cried out.

“I know! I’m oh my God-ing that you’re in here…while I’m in the shower.”

I quickly grabbed a towel. “Joyce! Why are you in here?” I asked as I turned off the water.

“Well, Michael asked me to bring you this lotion. He said you would want it after your shower.”

I instantly felt the anger building up in my chest.
That bastard!

“I’m going to kill him,” I whispered.

Joyce asked, “Are you covered? Can I look at you now?”

“Yes,” I said as I shook my head and said, “I’m covered.”

Joyce turned and gave me a weak smile. “Now I know it’s none of my business, but maybe you should talk to Michael, honey. I’m sure he can…well, he can…well, I don’t know if you’re having sex or not, but I’m going to go with yes, and if he isn’t performing to his…”

Dear God no. This is not happening. This. Is. Not. Happening.

“Joyce!
Please
. This is just weird. It’s all just very weird for you to be saying what you’re saying.”

She nodded her head and said, “Well I think so, too. I would think if you were happy in the sex department you wouldn’t need to masturbate.” She tilted her head and looked up like she was thinking. “I should have Peter have a talk with Michael.”

“No!” I yelled out. “Joyce, I’m very satisfied. Beyond satisfied. Lark is a very good…well…he…umm…”

I closed my eyes and wished like hell I could go back in time about ten minutes ago.

“Can we just stop this conversation, and may I please have some privacy to get dressed?”

Joyce nodded her head and said, “Of course. Well um…dinner will be ready in about forty-five minutes, so…ah…”

She looked me up and down and her cheeks blushed. “I’ll just send Michael on up to um…well…help, I guess.”

My mouth dropped open and I stumbled back against the wall.

I slowly slid down to the floor after she shut the bathroom door and looked up. “I’ll do anything. Anything if you just give me back the last fifteen minutes or so. I swear…God.
Anything.”

When the door opened and Lark walked in he was laughing his ass off.

I shook my head and said, “No sex for you for the rest of this trip. None.”

I stood up and pushed past him and began to come up with a plan on how to not be attracted to this man.

This was never gonna work.
