CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Riley awoke as cool air hit her skin. Her eyes opened. Above her was Harris, his expression looked thunderous. She peered down at herself to see the shirt and the sheet was gone, as she lay bare on the bed.
She swung her gaze back up at him. Yum… he was nude, and that magnificent cock was at full mast as he’d called it. He reminded her of some bronzed god, all hard planes, and powerful limbs.
His mouth swooped down over hers and his satiny but hard chest rubbed up against her breasts.
Where had he come from? Dumb question at this point and who the hell cares?
He attacked her mouth with his as his hand lowered down to her mound.
Yes, yes. This man was so hot and hungry all the damn time.
Slipping his fingers into her, he stroked in and out until her moisture was flowing. Her body arched to get more. His tongue tangled with hers as he kissed her breathless.
He removed his fingers and she groaned at the loss. No…
Then he slipped his middle finger slicked with her wetness into her back hole.
Riley froze as he eased it in. Raising up, he locked eyes with her while he thumbed her clit at the same time. His gaze was so intense, so heated. It took her breath away.
And god, what he was doing to her felt so good. She never felt this kind of sensation before.
He held her whole pussy with his hand his fingers inside of her.
She watched his cock throb, hard as ever, dammit he was pure sex. It never occurred to her that a man would do this to her. Panting, her body flushed with a new kind of heat. Her clit was pulsing as he rubbed it.
He reached up to her nipples and tweaked one with his fingers then the other.
Moisture bubbled out of her as she gasped. “Harris this is so nasty…” Her head fell back. “But so good…”
“I want to be in every part of you.”
Her panting grew as she thought she would come.
“Open your eyes Ridge,” he growled. He tweaked one nipple then the other again, playing her body like an instrument. All while easing his finger out and back in.
Popping her eyes open, she looked at him. What he was doing to her felt so glorious, she never would’ve believed that this would make her so hot. It was just so raw, so possessing. Her belly coiled as he kept it up. “OH!” She was suddenly coming hard as her body grew rigid, her eyes trapped by his.
“There are many ways I can make you come,” he whispered as he watched her.
Panting, she nodded. Yes, she could clearly see that.
He pulled his fingers out of her.
She gazed into his stormy green gaze. What was up with him?
He covered her body with his while raising her arms above her head he held her wrists easily with one hand as he gazed into her eyes.
“Harris?”
“Your brother just told me that…”
Her eyes widened. “What?”
“You were engaged to someone.”
She sucked in a breath. “What?”
“At least you were six months ago.”
“I-I… I don’t remember that at all.”
“His name is Adam Groves.”
Her brow furrowed.
“Do you remember that name?”
She got an image of someone, but it was fuzzy. “I can’t—”
“It doesn’t matter. He can’t have you. You’re mine.”
She gazed into his eyes. “I am yours.”
He nodded and kissed her again. The same devouring kiss he usually gave her, all consuming, taking, possessing. Storming her, taking her breath away. Breaking the kiss, he rose up and grabbing her by the waist, he flipped her over. “Up on all fours, sweet cheeks.”
Eager for more, Riley did so immediately.
His hands rubbed her ass, caressing, squeezing. His fingers passed under her as he fingered her clit.
Trembling with anticipation, she never knew what this man might do at any given moment. Her chest was heaving.
“Now, don’t scream. Promise?”
She batted her eyes. Scream? Her body quivered helplessly.
He grabbed her hips and without warning, he thrust his cock into her all the way to the hilt.
Biting her lip, she tried to keep in the scream of pleasure-pain that threatened to come from her mouth. Oh, now she knew what he meant. This position made her even more vulnerable to that huge cock of his.
He pumped her full. Strong powerful strokes as he reached under and took her nipples in his fingers flicking them and twisting them.
With this, her head came up and she gasped. This positon might just unhinge her. He was driving her insane.
He fucked her hard and deep, giving no quarter as he played with her breasts.
She bucked and panted like an animal as he rode her hard. “O-oooh, God…” She was being turned inside out, shredded, torn from sanity as her body came alive under him. She had no control over herself. He had it all. Her orgasm hit hard and she bit her lip so she wouldn’t scream. “H-Harris, oh please.”
“Take what I got, Ridge,” he growled.
Only she didn’t know if she could take such heat, madness, lust and power. The man was his own storm. She could feel him coming inside her as she came while he held onto her breasts with his palms.
Her body collapsed forward as she fought for air. Her limbs tremored as she tried to catch her breath. She felt like she just got primed, pumped and was shot out of a cannon.
He lay over her his hands still under her covering her tits and whispered to her ear, “You didn’t scream, good girl.”
His hot breath made her shiver. “I-I wanted to. I think I bit a hole in my lip. God dammit, Harris.”
He chuckled while grasping her face “Let me see.” He lowered his tongue and swiped at her tender lip. He then licked over her top lip.
She stared at his handsome face as he licked her lips for another full minute. “You are relentless.”
He rolled to the side and smacked her ass with a playful slap.
“Oh!” She rose up a little and then slumped back down.
Scooping her up, he tucked her body to his hard form, his chest to her back.
A few quiet minutes went by and she almost fell asleep. She had been fucked silly by this man yet again. God, she loved it.
“I never had a relationship.”
At his quiet words, her eyes popped open, alert now.
“I had trysts. Fucked women till they passed out.”
She giggled. “A bad habit of yours?”
His laughter rumbled in his chest. “Yes. But then I would leave them.”
Confused about where he was going with this, she for once, remained mute.
“I’m rough. I know that. I don’t say the right things.”
“But damn, do you do the right things,” she teased.
He smiled against her neck. “What I mean is. I have nothing to offer you. Like a stable life. Backyard barbeques, a dog, cat.”
Riley bit her lip to keep from smiling. You didn’t laugh at a man like Harris. But god, this was so sweet and unexpected.
“Even if we manage to get this guy. I’m still a ghost. I knew that going in. I live where I feel like living. I have plenty of money to live out the rest of my life, but it won’t ever be a normal 9 to 5 life.”
Riley tried to understand what he was saying. But at the same time, she didn’t want to disturb this rare baring of his soul by opening her big mouth.
“You had a life before you climbed my mountain. A normal life.”
Her eyes widened. Oh, I think I get it now. She waited to see if he would say anything more.
He didn’t.
“Harris, I only want you. Period. Up on a mountain, on a beach. In a dammed tent if you wanted that.”
He squeezed her tightly to him. “No. I fucking hate tents.”
She laughed. “So, is this your way of saying…” God, suddenly her words got tangled in her mouth. She was afraid to believe he meant they would stay together permanently. A man like him? She’d hoped, but she wanted to stay with what was true. She’d thought it was way too soon to even consider he wanted her that way.
“So, you will stay with me?” he asked softly into her ear.
Again, his hot breath caused a shiver to roll over her skin. He did mean it like that! Oh, wow. She wanted to raise up and pump her fist in the air while letting out a huge WHOOP! Swallowing down her exhilaration so she wouldn’t blow this, she spoke softly, “For as long as you want.”
“You could be a freelance journalist. Do stories on the Amazon. Go to the UN Summits. Whatever, wherever you like.”
“So, we won’t be staying up on the mountain?”
He shrugged. “I have 5 other places all around the world.”
“I like the mountain though,” she said.
He kissed her neck. “It brought you to me. I like it too.”
“I don’t care what is in the past, Harris. You said it perfectly when you said I got a new life when you dug me out of the snow.”
Kissing her neck, he lowered his hands to her waist and tugged her toward him, bending her body as he guided his cock into her from behind.
She moaned as that long length slowly filled her up. Did the man ever go soft? How the hell…
“I’ll rock you to sleep,” he hummed in her ear as his hands cupped her breasts again. He leisurely moved in and out of her.
“Oh, I never heard of this kind of…Lullaby,” she snickered then gasped when he went deeper.
“Hush, little baby…” he whispered the tune to her ear. “Don’t you cry…”
Riley wisely and promptly shut up except for low moans and helpless whimpers as he rocked her again and again.
