CHAPTER 12

Rose felt her heart galloping in her chest. She wanted to believe him, she wanted to take a chance and have her first one night stand, but would she be able to face herself in the mirror in the morning? A one night stand with the right man is lots of fun. Emmaline’s words repeated themselves in her mind and Rose couldn’t help but think Cole was the perfect guy.

Having never done this before, she hesitated before speaking. “I want that too.”

The next moment she felt Cole’s body move flush against her own, she could feel his already eager manhood pressing into her belly as his mouth took hers.

Desire strong and heavy flooded her system as she reached around and hooked her thumbs into his belt loops. She pulled him even harder against her, making sure he understood what she wanted.

She heard a soft groan emanate from his throat and smiled knowing she had caused it. Cole’s fingers threaded into her hair angling her neck as he explored her mouth. As his one hand slid down the side of her body barely brushing the side of her breast, it was her turn to moan.

Without speaking a word Cole stepped back and took her hand before leading her into his house.

As the door closed behind them Rose left all her doubts outside along with the worry over a murderer stalking their neighborhood. She had Cole for one night; she was going to make sure it was a night she’ll never forget.

Cole switched on the lights before turning to her, his lusty gaze heating her as much as his mouth had moments before. “I haven’t been here since last week, but the cleaning lady promised to come by during the week.”

He set down his keys on the foyer table, took her hand and led her to his bedroom. “Good, she’s changed the linen.”

Rose didn’t want to ask if he’d been with another woman the weekend before, but the possibility made her jealous.

Reading her mind he pulled her towards the bed. “There hasn’t been another woman besides my mother in this house for more than a year.”

Rose felt a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she moved towards him. “I didn’t ask.”

“You didn’t have to.” He smiled as he moved towards her. Cole took her mouth with such urgency and expertise Rose felt need start to throb between her legs. A feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time. Even with Sam she had never been turned on like a light switch from a kiss.

Wanting to touch him she pulled his shirt from his trousers and let her hands glide over the firm muscles of his abdomen before slipping around to his back.

Cole’s hands were everywhere; at least that’s how it felt to her. One moment he was tugging her hair, the next sliding over her rear before moving to the front and pressing against the soft mound at the apex of her thighs.

Rose couldn’t wait anymore, for a year she had experienced no desire to be touched by a man but the dam had been broken. A year’s build up of want and need made her bolder than she would normally be, maybe that and Emmaline’s words. Every woman has to have at least one one-night stand. Do you know how freeing it is? No explanations, expectations. You don’t have to worry what he thinks about your body, because he’s only seeing it once. You can be whoever you want to be and in the morning it’s only a distant memory because you never have to see him again.

She stepped away from Cole and watched his eyes widen as she reached for the hem of her dress and pulled it over head. She felt his gaze absorb her lace bra and panties and mentally thanked herself for the Christmas gift she had bought the year prior and had never used before.

Needing him to touch her, she took his hands and put them on her breasts. “Touch me.”

Cole didn’t need a second invitation. His hands explored her curves, pushing the lace aside and rubbing his thumb over a pebbled nipple.

As Rose moaned at the sensation she felt his warm hot mouth take her nipple, a cry followed. “Cole.”

He lifted his head with a mischievous smile. “Yes Rose?” He reached around her back and unfastened her bra, letting it fall to the floor.

Rose had never wanted a man more. She reached for his cock and grabbed it through his trousers. “Don’t stop.”

“Who said I was going to?” Cole said before he moved to her other breast.

Trying to focus on the task at hand Rose fumbled with his belt and undid his trousers before shoving them down, Cole all the while licking and suckling her breasts.

She felt her knees weakening and moved back against the bed. Before she could sit down Cole scooped her up and placed her in the middle of the bed.

He moved over her, eyes heavy with desire, hands eager to explore.

Rose wanted to do some exploring herself but closed her eyes and absorbed every touch.

She felt his breath cool against her lower belly before he started tugging down her panty.

Sam had never kissed her there and suddenly embarrassment flooded her. “Cole don’t...”

As he threw her panties aside he settled between her thighs, a smug smile on his face. “Don’t what? Look how beautiful you are here.” His fingers softly slipped between the folds slicking the heat up and down. “Feel how wet you are for me?” He slowly lowered his head. “Or taste how good you taste?”

Rose wanted to protest, to answer, but no coherent thoughts were being processed as Cole’s tongue softly flicked back and forth over the bundles of nerves that were throbbing for attention.

Her hips bucked as the storm began to build deep inside her. Clouds rolled in, clogging her mind and her vision.

As he slipped a finger in side her Rose could feel thunder start to roar with desire. She bucked her hips, fucking herself against his digits unable to resist any longer.

Bolts of desire shot through her system like lightning, her body spasmsed. Release came fast and shook her to the core...

“Cole. Cole.” She heard her own voice calling out his name but couldn’t remember speaking.

Shudders racked her body over and over as her orgasm played out, but she wasn’t finished yet, she wanted him inside her.

Tugging him by the shoulders she pulled him up and over her. His lips glinted with her arousal. Rose pressed her mouth against his, tasting herself on him, wanting him inside her. Rose didn’t notice him ridding himself of his shoved down pants and underwear but was grateful as she took his thick cock in her hands. Running her hand up and down along its length.

“Rose, wait.” Cole said hoarsely. He leaned over her and reached into the bedside drawer for a condom. He quickly tore the foil and slid it on before settling between her thighs.

Taking her hips in his hands, he pulled her down on the bed, closer to his cock.

Rose had never felt more wanton or desired in her life.

Cole teased her entrance for a moment before plunging into her - hard.

Rose cried out, more from shock than pain. Nothing had ever felt that satisfying. He filled every inch of her, pressing against the bundle of nerves that had exploded moments before.

“Did I hurt you?” Through the fog of desire Rose opened her eyes and found his green gaze concerned.

“No.” She smiled seductively and licked her lips. “Do it again.”

Cole smiled as he started to move inside her. For every slow stroke, he thrusted hard - twice. The combination was driving her wild.

She felt the eye of the storm pass as clouds rolled in again, a hazy desire clogging her mind as thunder and lightning started to roar. She felt the lightning crack the same moment she felt Cole’s cock clench with release. Grabbing onto his muscled ass she rode him until he was dry.
