Unexpected Mr. Right (17 page)

"Well you're supposed to be giving me cooking lessons,” she told him. “Next time I expect to learn your secret pesto ingredient.” Tabby scooped the last bite on her plate and ate it.

"I don't know about that, Slugger. You're going to have to convince me. I don't share my secret recipes with just anyone.” He leaned back in the chair a devilish grin on his face.

"What do I have to do to convince you?” She played along.

His grin turned into a seductive weapon that her body proved to be helpless against. She melted on the spot as her nipples puckered wanting the attention of his mouth.

"I'm sure you'll figure something out, Slugger."

They pulled into the parking lot of The Landis Shore's Oceanfront Inn a beautiful bed and breakfast sitting right on the ocean. Her body began to betray her as nervous energy jolted through her body. This day meant so much to her, he treated her like she meant so much to him. Almost like ... no, no way could she let herself start thinking like that. Thoughts of love always ended in pain for her. She refused to let that happen. Not this time.

A few minutes later they entered The Tuscany Room. It was perfect. Coffee brown and sand tones decorated the room accented with coral to complete the Italian, yet the-ocean-isright-outside-my-door look the room encompassed. Tabby dropped her bag right inside the doorway, unable to keep herself from exploring all the room had to offer. The floors were an Italian stone, travertine which she'd used herself decorating in the past. Tabby stepped into the bathroom to find a whirlpool tub with granite surrounding it that brought back all sorts of memories of how they'd spent the night before.

Breaking free of the memory she stepped past the queen size bed to stand in front of a sliding glass door which lead to a private balcony overlooking the Pacific. She couldn't help but stare at the view, her eyes lost, soaking in the beautiful surroundings while her mind never strayed from the man now standing directly behind her, his hands on her shoulders. She felt an electric charge shoot through her body at the contact.

"Do you like it?” Nico kissed her neck, his hands gently massaging her shoulders.

"Yes."

"Who'd have thought a player like me had it in him to be sweet and romantic? I knew you'd be surprised.” His words weren't meant to be taken seriously. Just a joke, something he loved to do but still Tabby felt guilty. She hadn't given Nico the credit he deserved. She'd seen him as a ladies’ man who never took women seriously, which couldn't be farther from the truth. He may have dated a lot but she had no doubt that he treated all women with respect.

"I've been a bitch to you. I don't know why you didn't give up a long time ago.” She turned to face him wrapping her arms around his waist. “I never gave you the benefit of the doubt. I saw you as a flirtatious heartbreaker who had string of women trailing behind him. I'm sorry about that."

He looked a little taken-back by her words. Like he hadn't expected them, or maybe even like he was a little confused by what she told him.

"Well I had my reputation to protect so I didn't wear my sweet and caring hat too often in public.” He offered a wink. “I wouldn't want it getting out that when the right lady comes a long I turn into a chick-flick sap."

The right woman? Oh God was this really starting to turn into something? Trying not to over think his comment Tabby tried to follow his light mood by swatting his behind. “I'm being serious, Nico. I really am sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about, Slugger. Except for the slap, I'm never going to let you live that one down."

She still had her arms around him as they rocked back and forth looking at each other. “Agh, I hate that I did that."

"I think you like to get a little rough. So far you've smacked me, and just now you swatted my ass. You know, I like a little spanking as long as I'm the one giving it."

How could he do that? Sound seductive, playful and sensual all at the same time? Instantly making her wet for him. The man had skills. “Are you going to take this conversation seriously and just accept my apology?"

"Nope. I want to get back to talking about spanking.” He pulled her closer. Her breasts flattened against the hard wall of his chest.

"Fine I guess I'll have to add that to the list of things I have to make up to you, convince you of, or thank you for.” And she knew just how to do it. Tabby dropped to her knees not caring that they stood in front of a glass door that faced the beach. She ran her hand up and down the bulge in Nico's pants before she unbuttoned and unzipped them. When she reached in and pulled his massively hard erection free she heard a faint mutter above her of, “Holy shit."

Nico's whole body trembled. Countless women had gone down on him in the past, yet he trembled like this was the first time. And the sad part was she didn't even have her mouth on him yet. Damn this woman had some kind of hold on him. She was like a magician. She had some invisible grasp on him that tightened every time he saw her or even talked to her. When he felt her ease his clothes down his legs he almost lost it. Her smooth finger traced a path down his legs as she went.

His last logical thought before she licked a path down his cock was to reach out and close the blinds on the glass door. This moment belonged to them. He wouldn't share it with anyone. Then it came, the hot lick of her tongue around the head of his erection. Nico moved his hand to her hair, running his fingers through her cropped black hair, the silky strands wrapping around his fingers.

His whole body burned with sizzling hot desire as Tabby took him in her warm, wet mouth. Heaven. That's the only word he could think of to describe this feeling. Looking down he almost lost his balance watching her luscious mouth taking as much of him in as she could. “So beautiful. That feels so good, Tesoro.” She peaked up at him, her eyes smiling, telling him she enjoyed giving him this pleasure. He held back from coming right there. Hell no would he let them end this soon.

A second later she added her hand to the mix. Her hand and mouth worked him at the same time. Damn he'd never felt something so good, so hot as Tabby's mouth on him. White hot need shot through his body moving his arms to pull her up so she stood face to face with him. “You feel so good, baby. If I don't stop you now we'd be over before we had the chance to begin."

Grabbing the bottom of her shirt, he pulled it up and over her head. He ran his hand across her flat belly, around her waist and up her back. She had the most amazing skin, silky, smooth like the best fine chocolate. Her lavender scent filled the air around them. So sweet, so feminine, everything about her turned him on, made his chest feel a strange sort of tightness that felt completely foreign to him. His hands couldn't stop taking her in, feeling every part of her torso like they'd never touched before.

She began to do the same, her fingers exploring him under his shirt with expert skill. Hell, anything she did to him felt perfect. Nico stopped his hands from their journey long enough for her to pull his shirt over his head, then he touched her again, pulling her tight against him for a searing hot kiss. Unable to hold back he plunged his tongue in her mouth while he unhooked her bra. Two simple flicks of his fingers and her bra fell to the floor.

"You are way too good at that,” she whispered against his mouth.

He grabbed her ass and lifted her so that her legs wrapped around him. Damn, he'd wanted to do this for so long. “I'm a sexpert. What can I say?” Tabby burst into uncontrollable laughter. Her warm breath against his face, her gorgeous smile making him get even harder than he already was.

"That was so bad, Nico. A sexpert? I mean, I'm not arguing with you or anything but you just laid the cheese on pretty thick."

He held her tight, watching her, seeing her happiness, his own happiness reflecting in her eyes. He loved this side of her. This fun, silly side that she began to show around him more and more. “You're the only woman who's ever called me cheesy, Slugger.” Nico laid her on the bed and looked down at her. “Sexy, funny, the best damn lay in the whole world, now those I've heard before. Cheesy, not so much.” Lowering his mouth, he sucked a pert, brown nipple into his mouth.

"How about conceited. Anyone ever call you that?"

She sounded more breathless than before. More turned on. Flicking her nipple with his tongue he said, “Not conceited, Tesoro, just honest.” He sucked and licked before switching to her other breast. He needed to taste them equally. Every part of her body tasted so damn good to him.

"You're very good at that."

He felt her hands start winding through his hair. Hell yeah. He liked her like this. Turned on and sexy as hell. “You're very good too, Tabby. The best. I could feel your hands on me every hour of every day and never tire of it."

She didn't reply. Just continued to run one hand through his hair while the other traced a path up and down his back. With one hand Nico undid the button and zipper on her pants and eased a hand in, dipped below her panties until he felt her wet heat. “Mm, baby, you're so wet for me."

"Yes."

Two fingers sank inside her. Her velvety softness clamped around them. He started to work in and out, feeling her grasp his fingers like a glove as he went. God he could be here forever, tasting her breasts, feeling the warmth of her body on his hand, and soon his cock. Responding to the movements of her body Nico increased the pace. She gasped every now and again, little moans escaped her, her hand tightened in his hair. Her body was a firecracker. When he was ready to feel her come he lit the match, rubbing his thumb on her clitoris while nibbling at her breast.

She tightened around him, tensed, called his name, and then fell back limp against the bed.

Dear God this man could give orgasms like nobody's business. When he said he knew women he didn't lie. Inside and out Nico knew how to give to a woman. Sexually and every other way as well. That's why she'd gone down on him earlier. She wanted to give back to him as well. He had no way of knowing how much he'd given her in the past couple weeks. “Damn boy, you know what you're doing."

His rich laughter filled the room. “See what you'd been missing all these months? We have a lot of time to make up for. I'm nowhere near finished with you yet."

Tabby followed Nico with her eyes as he stood up and walked naked to the small fridge in the room. The man had a fine body. Long, lean, golden, and strong. He walked with an air of confidence. Not arrogant or conceited, but confident, he knew who he was and what he wanted. She loved that about him. Loved? Wow, slow down girl. Where did that come from? Falling in love with him wouldn't be smart. She better curb that thought now.

Nico sauntered back toward the bed, strawberries, chocolate, and whipped cream in hand. Oh boy. Things were starting to get sticky, in more ways than one. He set the food on the bed before hooking his fingers in her pants and pulling them down her legs.

"I'm a chef and I love food, baby.” He looked her in the eyes. Probably noticing the apprehension she figured reflected there. “Did you really think an Italian Chef wouldn't incorporate food with sex?” He dropped her clothes to the floor. “Damn you're beautiful, Tabby. Two of my favorite things.” He opened the whipped cream and put a dab on each of her nipples. Warmth spread through her body contrasting the cold cream. He bent and licked the whipped cream off one breast then the other. “Food and you. Damn I'm a lucky man."

She shivered. Her toes curled. Her whole body burst with anticipation. He smelled sexy, manly, looked eager and ready to please. No happy to please, like he wanted nothing more than for them to take pleasure from one another. Give and take.

"Hungry?” He put a strawberry to her lips. Tabby took a bite, the juice dripping down her chin.

She reached up to wipe it off but Nico grabbed her hand before she could. “I'm getting that.” He did. With his tongue.

Licking the sweet juice off her, she heard him moan before he captured her mouth, kissing her like there was no tomorrow. The succulent juice of the strawberry lingered on his tongue and mixed with Nico's unique taste to create a flavor she could quickly become addicted to. Hell, just the man himself was enough to addict her.

Nico pulled away to feed her another bite. He dropped more whipped cream on her breasts, a dab of chocolate and began to feast on her. A mix of sensations exploded throughout her body, the coolness of the cream, the warmth of his tongue, the fire of her desire for him.

"Mm, Tesoro. You taste so good, feel so good."

Nico moved so every inch of his hard body straddled hers. His cock nestled the apex of her thighs making her hips lunge forward of their own accord. She felt a hot path burn from her breast to her neck as he began to nuzzle her neck.

"God, Nico you feel good. I need you inside of me. All of you."

His teeth nipped at her neck before he grabbed a condom and sheathed himself. He entered her swiftly, burying himself to the hilt, filling her up in the most pleasureful way.

"This is more than just sex, Tesoro.” He said the words softly, then he started to move in the most delicious way. Tabby ran her hand across his back, feeling his muscles constrict as he pushed in and out of her. Oh yeah, this was more than sex. Fear gripped her at where it headed for her. What she started to feel. No, not right now. All she wanted to think about now is the pleasure that possessed her body.

Nico kissed her deeply as he thrust inside her, stretched her in the most wonderful way. She matched the rhythm he set, meeting him thrust for delicious thrust. “So close,” she whispered against his mouth. He didn't kiss her again, just watched her until the intimacy became too much. Her eyes drifted closed, her body still moving with his.

"Look at me."

He issued it like a command. She couldn't deny him so she did as he said, kept eye contact while they moved together.

Out of her peripherals she saw his strong arms hold him up, one on each side of her head making her feel engulfed by him.

"Come for me, Tabby. I can feel you tighten, your body getting wetter. You're ready. Let go."
