CHAPTER TEN

HE HAD NO IDEA why he did it. Only that he had wanted to do it for as far back as when she dated his brother. And now that he had, he didn’t want to stop. He gripped her arms, keeping her tight against him as he kissed her, a fire burning in his core he knew he would never put out. Not until he buried himself inside her fiery passion, and probably not even then.

When he finally broke the kiss, he reached down and took her key card from her hand, holding it up in front of her. “Now’s your chance to say no.” He cocked a brow, his heart pounding in his chest as he waited for her answer. “Otherwise, we’re going inside your room, and I’m going to explore every inch of you.”

She scoffed as she stared back at him. “Why the hell do you think I was down there in the first place? Open the fucking door.”

He couldn’t stop the grin that spread across his face—or the way his cock hardened in his pants.

Turning, he opened her door and gestured for her to enter first. As she passed, he raked her backside with his hungry gaze, eager to rip her robe off her body and explore every curvy inch of her. God, he had wanted her for so long, even though he knew how wrong it was, her having dated his brother.

He let the door close on its own as he followed her to the foot of the bed, where she turned to face him. He could see the passion in her eyes as he stepped closer, ready to grab her and throw her onto the bed. However, before he could reach out, she jerked the tie of her robe loose and then opened it, allowing the covering to fall to the floor.

He stood there, slack-jawed, as he stared at her gorgeous, nude body. A dusting of freckles painted her chest, leading down to her ample breasts, her nipples already swollen into tight buds he couldn’t wait to get his lips around. Her curvy hips begged for him to grip them as he plunged his hardness into the slick valley between her legs. She was gorgeous, perfect in a way that stole his breath and left him speechless.

She smirked as she took a step toward him, reaching for his belt. “I told you. I was coming to you for this.”

He felt her jerk his belt open just seconds before she unbuttoned his pants and ripped the zipper down. He sucked in a breath as she grabbed the waistband of his jeans and shoved them down his legs, dropping to her knees in front of him as she did, but keeping her eyes fixed on his.

He could only stare at her as she reached out, gripping his growing erection, smiling up at him for just a moment before lowering her mouth to his hardness. She lapped at the tip, then swirled her tongue around the head before swallowing him whole, her hand still gripping the base of his meaty shaft. A groan ripped from his lips as he closed his eyes and turned his face to the ceiling. Holy fuck!

Dropping his hand to the top of her fiery hair, he relished every bob of her head as she knelt there, sucking him off. There was no way he could have seen this coming. Sage Silver. Down on her knees with his cock in her mouth. He had wanted it, of course. Dreamed of it many times. But to actually see it happen was more than… His eyes flew wide open as he realized that if he didn’t make her stop now, he would finish in her mouth, and there was no way he was going to end this night that fast. With a groan of regret, he pulled her off his swollen member and helped her back to her feet and toward the bed.

Gently, he eased her down onto the covers, spreading her legs wide as she sat down, and then he knelt in front of her. It was his turn now to taste her, to cherish the flavor of her passion on his tongue as he pleased her. Leaning in, he inhaled her arousal before burying his face between her thighs and gliding his tongue up her drenched folds. When he reached the top, he sucked her hard pearl into his mouth, flicking it with his tongue as she moaned and jerked in his grasp.

He slid his hands around to cup her ass, lifting her off the bed as he pressed his lips harder to her sensitive mound. Her wetness coated his lips, and he loved it. Then he felt her legs clamp against his face as she cried out, just before the sound of her hitting the bed mixed with her whimpers of pleasure. He felt her arch her back as her orgasm broke over her like a wave hitting the shore. He held her thrashing body as she rocked her legs back and forth, her control of her body gone. That was all right. He clutched her tighter. He’d make sure she was safe. Always safe.

When she finally relaxed, she propped herself up on her elbows and grinned down at him. With a hitch of her head, she motioned for him to get onto the bed with her. He reached for his pants to grab a condom, but she stopped him, pulling him down onto the bed. “Don’t worry. It’s covered.” And then she shoved his shoulder, so he fell backward onto the bed, crawling onto it right after him. With a not-so-gentle push, she laid him on his back and crawled up his legs until she straddled his hardness. She gripped his shaft as she lowered herself down onto it, and he saw her mouth pop open slightly as she eased it into her wetness, her eyes never leaving his.

He felt the grin slide across his lips as he stared up at her. “So you went to my room for this?”

She released his hardness, pressing down on his chest with her palms as she eased herself all the way down. “Do us both a favor. Don’t talk.”

And then she ground on his cock, her body sliding back and forth as she rode him, pressing down on his chest to keep her balance.

He swallowed and did as she said. He didn’t talk. Instead, he slid his hands around to grip her ass, holding her as she slid back and forth, her body gliding along his as she closed her eyes, lost in the sensations. She wasn’t the only one. He could feel her wetness coating them, felt her inner walls milking him as she slid to the tip of his cock and dropped herself back down. The way her ass felt sliding back and forth along his shaft almost made it difficult not to shoot his load right then.

“God, Sage…” he whispered, watching as her breasts swayed in front of him. Leaning up, he sucked as much of one of her breasts into his mouth as he could, flicking his tongue around her hardened nipple.

Sage whimpered with pleasure, digging her nails into his flesh, and he cried out around her breast. As he slid his hand from her ass to her other breast, he felt her body tighten and then shudder, her second orgasm ripping through her.

She cried out, gripping his chest almost as if she wanted to plunge her fingernails into him as she jerked her head back and sent her cries of pleasure to the ceiling. Parker could only lie there and hang on, his gaze fixed on the pleasure rippling across her face, until her climax eased, and Sage opened her eyes, her breathing heavy.

She opened her mouth to say something, but he grinned and shook his head. “Do us both a favor. Don’t talk.”

With a quick jerk, he rolled her over onto her back, lifted her legs so they rested against his chest, and drove his aching cock into her drenched entrance. She screamed out as he clutched at her legs and pounded into her with several quick, hard thrusts until he felt his own orgasm erupt from his cock to fill her. Her mouth fell open as her eyes went wide and she gripped his arm, grunting with him.

When he emptied himself, he fell to the side of her, draping an arm over her stomach as she stretched her legs out beside him. Nuzzling her neck and ear, he inhaled the scent of her, wanting nothing more than to burn this moment into his memory. “That was amazing. Even better than I had always imagined it.”

She rolled over, so they faced each other, one brow cocked. “You talked.”

A chuckle bubbled out of him as he gave a slow bob of his head. “Yeah, I guess I did. So, tell me about coming down to my room.”

She made a weak shrug. “What’s there to tell? We both had an itch that needed scratching, so I went to find your scratching post.” She winked at him. “Thanks for being so readily available.” And then she punched his chest. “And what the fuck was Jacob doing in your room? Why didn’t you call me?”

“There wasn’t time. And I didn’t let him in.” He sighed, sinking lower into the bed. “He’s fairly good at getting into places, if you’ll remember. Didn’t he surprise you a time or two?”

She blew out a breath. “Yeah, he did. But you should have still called me.”

“It’ll be the first thing I do if it happens again. But, hey, at least we know where he is, which means the cops, nor the Broussards, can get to him.”

She cocked a brow, a look of disbelief crossing her face. “You’re even more gullible than I remember. Once your brother saw me, you know damn well he bugged out of there. He’s not the type to hang around. Not if he thinks it’ll go against him, and he knows I’m not a fan.”

“Naw, he’s there.” He slid a hand to her curvy hip, stroking her flesh gently. “Why would he leave? He has a safe room for the night. He’ll want to rest up without having to watch over his shoulder.”

“Because he’s Jacob.”

He stared at her for a moment, not sure what else to say. Would his brother have really left once he was alone? What would be the point when he had a perfectly safe room in which to hide? Why risk exposure?

Pushing thoughts of his brother to the side, he scooted closer to Sage, sliding his hands over her hips and behind to her ass. “I know you said it was just an itch, but…”

She placed a finger on his lips as she stared deeply into his eyes. “You’re talking again.” She leaned toward him, kissing his nose softly. “Now, get some sleep. Tomorrow will be busy trying to find your brother again.”

“I’m telling you. He’s not going anywhere. You saw his condition.”

But Sage had already closed her eyes and laid her head on her pillow.

He laid there, staring at her for the longest time, not sure if she was actually sleeping or simply ignoring him. It didn’t matter. He had missed having her in his life, missed seeing her, talking to her. She hadn’t been his, of course, dating Jacob, but Parker had remained as close on the edge of their relationship as he could without crossing lines. Then that whole mess with Jacob getting his ass in trouble exploded, and Parker watched as Sage fought tooth and nail to prove Jacob’s innocence. In the end, it didn’t matter. Sage was through with him and had left, never looking back. Parker knew he had missed her more than Jacob, and he regretted never reaching out to her. But then, what would he have said?

A soft smile drifted across his face. But now…

Eventually, he fell asleep, still watching her, picturing the future. If he could talk her into giving him a chance, that is. When he woke, however, Sage had already left, not even leaving him a note.

She wasn’t the only one, either. When he returned to his room to get dressed, Jacob was gone as well.
