Kane pounded on the door for the second time. Initially, he’d tried for soft, but Lucie obviously wasn’t going to answer. Considering it was closing in on three thirty in the morning, he knew one of her neighbors was probably going to call the police on him any minute now.
“Open the door, Lucie,” he demanded, keeping his voice low.
When he heard the lock disengage, he breathed a sigh of relief. The woman was stubborn as hell.
“Would you keep your voice down?” Lucie barked as she pulled the door open. “Haley’s asleep.”
Staring down at her, Kane fought to keep his smile to himself. He liked the way she looked when she was pissed. Maybe that was a little masochistic on his part, but seeing Lucie all fired up stirred his blood.
Not waiting for an invite, Kane moved inside the apartment before shutting and locking the door behind him. Lucie was already in the kitchen by the time he caught up with her. Without haste, Kane grabbed her arm, backed her against the refrigerator and pinned her mouth with his lips. Her initial reaction was to try to fight him off, but that didn’t last but a second before he found himself being pulled into her.
Kane groaned, devouring her sweet taste as she scored his scalp with her fingernails, biting his lip with her sharp little teeth as she began rubbing up against him like a cat. The woman was smoldering, and he needed her. Right there.
“Let’s move this to the bedroom,” he stated when he pulled back, cupping her head with both hands. She looked up at him dazed and confused, and he smiled. “I’m going to be inside of you in less than two minutes,” he warned, “and I don’t think you want our daughter walking in to see that.”
When it looked like Lucie might argue with him, Kane kissed her again, turning her so that he could back her down the short hall. As soon as they entered her bedroom, he tapped the door shut with his foot, and began unbuttoning her shirt.
When her mouth moved to his neck, Kane growled, loving the way she nipped his skin, chasing the sting with her tongue as he tried to unhook the buttons with his hands trapped between them.
“Fuck.” The curse left his lips when she pulled his shirt open without bothering to unbutton it, the sound of buttons pinging against the wall all around them.
It was probably a record, he thought to himself as he pulled Lucie down on top of him onto her bed. Somehow they’d managed to remove all of their clothes without ever breaking contact. The feel of her skin against his had Kane sighing. She was soft to his hard, and he loved the feel of her skin beneath his hands. Aside from Haley’s smooth, baby like skin, Lucie was the softest thing he’d ever touched.
“Ride me, Lucie,” Kane demanded, gripping her hips and moving her so that their bodies aligned the way he needed them to. “Sit on my cock, baby. Right fucking now.”
He didn’t give a damn if he sounded crass. He just needed to be buried inside of this woman. Now.
Kane could see the innocent look in her eyes, and he realized she was nervous. Damn the woman could turn him on like no one else. He liked her fiery defiance, but he loved this innocence just as much.
“Lift up,” he encouraged her, gripping his cock in his hand and penetrating her entrance gently. “Take me inside of you, Lucie.”
Kane groaned as her body engulfed him, but his mouth was covered with her hand and he met her eyes. She was trying to smile, but he knew what she was feeling because he was feeling it too. She was so damn tight, her pussy clenching him as she eased down on his shaft.
Pulling her chest flush against his, Kane gripped her hips and thrust up into her in one swift movement that had her crying out. “Kiss me, dammit,” he grumbled from beneath her hand.
Lucie replaced her hand with her mouth, and the invasion of her tongue was so welcome, Kane had to hold still for a moment for fear that he might just lose control. He could feel it in his chest. There was a tingling that started somewhere in the center of his body, but it wasn’t his release. This was something different. Something unexpected, but so incredible, he wasn’t sure he ever wanted to come down from this high.
Wrapping one arm around her head and placing his other hand against the small of her back, Kane held her against him, trying to keep her from moving. When she began rocking her hips and moaning into his mouth, he knew he wasn’t going to last long enough to make this good for her if she kept this up.
Letting her go, he pushed her shoulders until she was sitting on him again and he linked their hands together, holding his arms up so that she could use him as leverage.
“Fuck me, Lucie.” He ground out the words, clenching his teeth as her pussy spasmed around his dick.
Obviously unfamiliar with the position, Lucie began doing as he instructed and although the feeling was exquisite, Kane needed to control her movements. In a blur of motion, he flipped her onto her back, never pulling out of her body. Once he was on top of her, he began thrusting his hips hard and fast against hers, burying his cock deeper into her body as she closed her eyes and threw her head back.
“Open them,” he growled. “Open your eyes and watch me, Lucie.” He had no idea why it was so important that he maintained eye contact with her, but Kane felt it was critical. Their bodies were speaking in ways that words never could, but the connection was far deeper than that and he wanted to see into her soul.
“God, yes, baby,” he groaned, slowing his pace as he slipped one hand between them, finding her clit with his fingers. “You feel so damn good.”
As he began strumming her clit gently, Lucie’s moans intensified until she was clawing his shoulders, her hips bucking up off of the mattress.
“Are you going to come for me?” he asked, sinking deeper and deeper into her with every thrust, increasing the pressure of his finger against her clit with every jarring movement. “Tell me, Lucie. Tell me when you come.”
Kane barely managed to control himself; continuing to pound harder, faster until he was sweating and shaking with the strength of his release as it rushed up on him without warning. Slamming into her once, twice, three times, Kane felt the way her inner muscles squeezed his cock, almost painfully tight as Lucie moaned into the darkened room, her sharp little nails digging into his skin as she stilled.
As she came apart beneath him, Kane followed her over into the glorious abyss.
~~*~~
There was something to be said about angry sex, Lucie thought to herself as she lay against Kane, her head propped on his chest as his heartbeat thumped slowly in her ear. He was so warm, so strong as he held her close, his finger drawing circles up and down her spine.
It was still dark outside, but Lucie knew that was only going to last a little while longer. Dawn wasn’t far off, and despite the fact that she wanted him there more than she wanted anything else, Lucie knew it wouldn’t be appropriate for Haley to find him in her bed. They probably had another hour at best before her early riser was up and at it.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Kane asked, his gravelly voice penetrating the darkness.
Lucie’s body stiffened. The question was a long time coming, but for some reason, she hadn’t expected to hear it from him now. Not like this. She knew this wasn’t going to be an easy conversation for them to have, and if nothing else, he was going to be angry with her. All over again.
When she tried to pull away, Kane stopped her by firmly pressing his arm against her back.
“Don’t leave me,” he warned, keeping her pinned in place by his heavy arm. “Talk to me. Don’t pull away from me, Lucie.”
Laying her head back against his chest, Lucie inhaled deeply as she tried to gather her thoughts. When it came to her reasons for not telling Kane he was a father, she knew they probably wouldn’t sound as reasonable once she stated them out loud.
Honestly, she hadn’t meant to hurt anyone, although that’s exactly what had happened. Both Haley and Kane had suffered from her decision, and there were many nights she had lain in bed wishing she could change how she handled the situation. Figuring he deserved to know everything, Lucie started at the beginning.
“I found out I was pregnant when I was three and a half months along,” she began. “I hadn’t felt well for a couple of months, but I figured it was my emotions playing havoc on me.”
“Why?” Kane asked, brushing her hair with his fingertips.
Lucie knew her confession was probably going to push Kane away, but she decided to go for it anyway. “After you and I slept together, my feelings for you only intensified,” she stated and then paused to see if he would react. When he didn’t, she continued, “I think I had been attracted to you all along, but I knew better because you were – are – my boss.”
That was the hardest part of everything. Kane was still her boss.
“The night I drove you home, I had originally done so with good intentions. I didn’t want you to drive drunk,” she admitted, although she had already told him this part. She had just left off the emotional aspect. “When you invited me in, I knew I should’ve said no, but part of me just wanted to be closer to you.”
To her surprise, Kane pulled her closer against him, and when she felt his lips against her head, she had to choke back the tears that threatened to fall.
“Honestly, had I realized you were so drunk that you wouldn’t even remember sleeping with me, I wouldn’t have gone inside.”
“Tell me what happened.”
“I already did.” Lucie had shared the high level details with him already, back when she told him he was Haley’s father.
“You told me that you drove me home and that we slept together. I want to know all of the details.”
Lucie sighed. It wasn’t like she couldn’t recall every single second of that night because she had relived it over and over for the past six years.
“Tell me,” Kane whispered into the darkness.
With another deep sigh, Lucie began explaining, “You invited me inside, and I agreed. Then you offered me a drink, and I refused, hoping you wouldn’t get one either. I knew you were drunk, but I hadn’t realized just how intoxicated you really were.”
Lucie closed her eyes, going back to that night...
“Touch me, baby.” The insistence in Kane’s tone was palpable, and Lucie wanted to give herself over to this man. Even if for just one night, she wanted to know what it felt like to be in his arms, to feel his mouth, his skin, all of him against her.
With her palms flat against his chest, Lucie met his gaze, looking up into the swirling gray orbs, trying to decipher what he was thinking. Reading Kane’s mind was impossible.
“What do you want from me, Lucie?” he asked when she didn’t move.
“You,” she admitted, knowing she was making a decision that she would never be able to undo.
“I’ve waited so long to hear you say that,” Kane told her, sliding his fingers into her hair and pulling her head closer.
When her lips met his, the world exploded around her, nothing and everything changed in that moment. The warm, firm press of his lips, the insistent plunge of his tongue into her mouth had Lucie feeling drunk, and she knew she wasn’t.
She could taste the bourbon on his tongue, smell the faint hint of cigarette smoke and beer on his clothes. Kane was kissing her, and as his tongue became more and more insistent, Lucie gave herself over to the feelings she had pushed to the far recesses of her heart for so long.
When Kane pulled back, he cupped her face in his hands, and Lucie stared up at him, waiting for him to tell her what he wanted. As his thumb brushed over her lower lip, Lucie slowly traced the tip with her tongue and reveled in his sharp intake of breath.
“I want to feel your mouth on my cock,” he told her, his eyes locked on her mouth. “I want to fuck those sweet lips.”
His words sent a warm throb between her thighs. Never would she have thought she would like such vulgar words, but they were so thrilling coming from Kane’s mouth. Lucie found she was nodding her head in agreement and Kane took a step back from her, immediately pulling his belt open before releasing the button and zipper on his slacks and then lowering them over his hips.
His cock, thick and heavy, sprang free, and Lucie closed her eyes for a second. She could do this. She had dreamed about this. Maybe the setting was different, or the circumstances, but it had always been Kane in her dreams.
When he put one hand on her shoulder, the other on her head and pushed her to her knees, Lucie lowered herself willingly, keeping her eyes trained on his throbbing erection.
Kane gripped his cock in one hand, guiding it toward her mouth and Lucie fought the panic that surged up from somewhere deep inside of her. She wanted him, and this was her chance.
“Open your mouth,” Kane growled and Lucie looked up at him unexpectedly. His tone was aggressive, laced with what sounded like anger mixed with passion, and the desire that she detected in his beautiful gray eyes was intense.
Pain laced her scalp as Kane gripped her hair more forcefully, pushing the swollen head of his cock against her lips until she opened her mouth, taking him inside, trying her best to surround him with her whole mouth.
He was larger than she expected, although she wasn’t quite sure what she had expected. The grip on her hair was both painful and sensual all at the same time. When he began pushing in deeper before retreating, over and over, Lucie instinctively wrapped her lips around him.
She’d never done this before. In fact, Lucie had never been with a man before Kane. Not like this anyway. There had been one man in her past that she had slept with, but that was so long ago, she felt like this was the first time. Considering her past experience was with her high school boyfriend, she knew that was nothing compared to being with Kane.
“Suck me,” Kane growled and his tone reflected more of a demand than a request. “Wrap your lips around my dick, Lucie.”
She did as he told her, trying to accommodate his size as well as keep up with the forceful way he was thrusting into her mouth. He was more aggressive than she expected, but Lucie wanted to please him, so she continued to try and take more of him. When his hands fisted in her hair, holding her perfectly still, Lucie almost panicked.
“Put your hands on my thighs and don’t move them,” Kane demanded.
Lucie once again did as he instructed and the instant her hands were on his powerful thighs, Kane gripped her hair even harder and began shoving deeper into her mouth as she tried to keep from gagging.
“That’s it, Lucie. Let me fuck that beautiful mouth. Take all of me. Awww, damn that’s good.”
Kane’s words sounded like encouragement, and Lucie could feel the tension increase in his legs as he pushed harder, deeper, faster. When she felt the broad head of his penis hit the back of her throat, she did panic, but Kane held her still, pulling out of her mouth.
“I need to fuck you, Lucie.” His grip in her hair didn’t lessen, and she found herself having to rise to her feet to keep from crying out in pain.
“Take off your clothes,” he ordered and Lucie started to do as he said. She hadn’t expected it to be like this, but the terse words stirred something deep inside of her. He was turning her on, and she was torn between confusion and desire.
Quickly, she managed to unbutton her slacks, but before she could get them halfway down her legs, Kane was turning her until she was facing the counter, his hand pushing her down until her breasts were crushed against the granite countertop. Without warning, Kane slammed into her from behind, and she cried out as pain crashed through her.
“Lucie,” Kane’s voice sounded closer to her ear, and for a second he wasn’t the demanding, take charge man she’d just been introduced to. “Baby, your pussy feels so damn good. I’ve dreamed about fucking you just like this.”
Lucie’s body tensed at his words, a desperate hunger filling her as she ached for him to continue. Despite the fact that his demands were making her nervous, her body still wanted him.
The warmth of his body disappeared from her back, his hands gripping her hips painfully tight before he began slamming into her over and over.
Lucie didn’t know what was happening to her, but her body tightened, a sharp, sudden tingle erupted deep in her core, and she was moaning his name over and over. Her orgasm slammed into her, making her shake as he continued to fuck her deeper, harder, over and over until finally, long minutes later, Kane shouted her name as he came deep inside of her.
