Chapter Eight
Serena
A thrill shoots through me when Cade makes his admission, and when he lifts me up, the feeling only intensifies. I surprise myself when I say yes. I've never slept with a man I've just met, never had a casual fling or one-night stand.
There is something about this man, though, a tenderness in his eyes that shines with the genuine admiration in his words mixed with some sort of sadness he doesn't explain. I want him, even if only for one night before I go back to my reality tomorrow.
He kisses me under the moonlight, and I squeeze myself to him a little tighter. He carries me inside and sets me down just inside the door.
“Are you still sure?” he asks. I can only nod – my mouth has gone dry and words completely fail me. He takes my hand and makes for the stairs where I wordlessly follow.
When we enter his bedroom, the only thing I see is the ginormous, plush bed dominating the room. “That’s a big bed,” I say to him.
He chuckles. “I’m a big boy.”
Immediately, my eyes drop down to the crotch of his pants and then back up to his face, where he just watches me. There is silence for a minute where neither of us moves, and then Cade is advancing on me. His lips find mine, and he moves us closer to the bed, stopping when my backside bumps the mattress.
His hands move down my arms and to my hips before running up my sides, fingertips just grazing my breasts. His kisses move to my neck and my hand slides to his belt. I tug it loose and pull his shirt free, slipping a hand up his stomach to a rock hard chest. Cade pulls back and reaches behind him, pulling his shirt off in one swift motion.
“Jesus,” I swoon. The man is incredibly built, with wide shoulders, arms that look like they were sculpted from marble, and the abs. Holy hell. I count eight leading to the best V-shaped cut of a man’s hip bones I’ve ever laid eyes on. He stands there with a sexy smirk.
“See something you like?” he teases.
“Mm-hmm. But I’m going to need to see more to be sure. You know, for scientific reasons.”
He laughs. “Let’s see what we can do about that,” he says huskily. He pulls me close again and carefully unbuttons the buttons to the silky blouse I had chosen to wear. He pushes it off my shoulders and takes care to put it aside, instead of dropping it to the floor. Cade pushes his jeans down to his ankles to step out of them, kicking them away and leaving him in only black boxer briefs that leave almost nothing to my imagination.
He makes quick work of my bra next, tossing it aside. His head dips to capture a nipple in his mouth, and my head falls back. “Cade,” I moan as he switches to the other breast, teeth grazing, nipping, and teasing me. "Mmm.”
He puts one arm around me while the other hand moves south, and he unbuttons my jeans, slipping a hand inside my panties and cupping me. I know he feels how wet I am through my panties. I squirm against him, desperate for the friction, and groan when he pulls back. He pushes my jeans off and trails kisses down one thigh and back up the other. I kick my pants away as he moves forward, and I sit down on the bed, legs spread for him to step between. He hooks a thumb on either side of my thong, and I lift my hips as he pulls the fabric away from me. I scoot up the bed toward the pillows, completely exposed to him as he stands and looks at me.
“You’re gorgeous, Serena.”
I blush and start to say something when he grabs my ankles and pulls me toward him. I yelp with surprise at the action, but melt into his touch as his fingertips trace my inner thighs, up and down, closer to my clit with every pass until – finally – he lightly touches my labia.
I sigh and move my hips upward with a silent cry for more. His fingers brush over my heated flesh, becoming slick with my wetness. Cade slowly lowers himself to kneel and runs his tongue along my thigh, blowing a cool breath over my pussy as he passes to lick my other thigh. I’m squirming for his touch as he makes a second pass back. His hands slide under my ass, and suddenly, his tongue is on me.
He makes slow, lazy circles around my clit, building in tempo, sensing my need. I moan when his tongue moves down my slit. It flicks my clit again, and I reach for him.
“Cade,” I beg.
“Not yet.”
I can only whimper in response.
He sucks my clit between his lips, pressing his tongue hard against me. I tug his hair, urging him up, but he continues with his sweet torture. He sucks, pulling me deep into his mouth and then releasing, moving his mouth down, circling with his tongue.
One of his hands moves to hold my hip, and he uses the other to ease a finger inside me, working in and out. I feel the waves of pleasure building inside me, right there on the edge, waiting for Cade to push me over. He puts a second finger in me, and I move against his hand. His mouth seeks my clit, sucking and teasing.
“I’m so close, Cade,” I whimper. “Please.”
His fingers move harder, faster, and he presses his tongue flat against my clit while my body tenses and an orgasm rips through me. I call out his name as he rides it out with me, bringing me back down to the most glorious headspace I’ve ever known. He stands and watches me breathe heavily for a moment. I motion him toward me as I move back up his bed. He takes off his underwear so I can settle my gaze on what is easily the largest cock I’ve seen in person.
He moves over the bed and joins me, propping himself up on one elbow beside me. I move in, taking his bottom lip between mine and sucking. He moves so his mouth covers mine and rolls me on top of him. I straddle his waist, his cock brushing against my inner thigh, sliding across my wet opening.
“I want you inside me, Cade,” I say, rubbing myself up and down his length.
He twists and reaches for a drawer on the table beside his bed. He reaches in and roots around a minute before cursing loudly.
“I’m on the pill.”
“I don’t normally. I mean, I’m clean. I just had a physical a few weeks ago.”
“Me, too. Well, I mean, it's been awhile, but I’m clean, too.”
“Are you sure?”
I nod, considering I can count on one hand how many men I’ve been with. “I’m sure.” I grab his cock and slide my fist back and forth over it. He groans and grabs me around the waist, flipping our positions so he’s on top, the head of his dick teasing my entrance. He kisses me, and I swear it is the most earth-shattering kiss of my life. When he thrusts inside me without warning, my back arches and we both moan. He fills me in a way no man ever has before almost to the point of pain, but not; it's nothing but pleasure.
“Oh God, Cade,” I moan as he glides in and out of me. He groans as I wrap my legs around him, heels digging into his ass, urging him on. His thrusts increase, and his thumb comes in contact with my clit. My back arches again and my hips come off the bed, colliding with his. I bite my bottom lip, but he catches my mouth in a kiss.
“Scream my name,” he commands, beckoning my orgasm from me. I come undone under him in seconds, calling his name.
My body shakes, waves after wave of pleasure tearing through me. I can feel his dick tighten then his orgasm wracks his body. He groans my name, and I reach for him, pulling his face to mine and kissing him until he collapses on top of me. Our hearts race as we lay there, and when our breathing has come back to normal, he rolls off me.
He disappears into the bathroom, and when he comes back he has a warm washcloth, taking great care to clean me up. I go into the bathroom to finish and when I come back to his room, I start to head for my own clothes when he grabs my hand to stop me.
“No point of clothes when we’d just take them off again. Come lay down with me.”
He pulls back the covers on his bed and climbs in, tugging me down with him. I wasn’t planning to spend the night, but the sight of a naked Cade in his soft sheets and plush blankets was enough to tempt me. I climb in beside him. He pulls me close, and I lay my head on his chest and snuggle into him. It’s the safest, most comfortable feeling I’d ever felt next to a man.
We don’t say anything, just breathe until our breaths even out and we both fall asleep.
