Chapter Twelve
*** ~~ *** ~~ *** ~~ ***
Alex could only stare at her.
Standing in his shower, naked as water streamed down her sinful curves, Ashleigh was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Her long, dark hair was slicked back from her face, her lashes were beaded with water, and those rosy pink nipples were puckered and begging him to taste her again.
When she said she wanted to taste him, he almost lost it. The most he had ever done was imagine what it would feel like to have Ashleigh’s lips wrapped around his cock, but to hear her beg to do just that was more than he could take at the time.
Where he had gotten the idea that she might be timid and not open to the same things he was when it came to sex was beyond him. But even though she could voice her desires, Alex got the impression she was new to this. How new, he had no idea and he damn sure didn’t want to think about her being with another man.
“I think I’m a little overdressed.” He told her when the water warmed, and he turned the spray toward her.
“I think so, too.”
Ashleigh didn’t try to cover herself from his wandering gaze, but he got the impression she wanted to.
“Take off my shorts.” He might be pushing the limits with her at the moment, but she was testing his control. On purpose.
If she wanted to let loose the beast within him, Alex was going to make sure she knew what she was getting herself into. He could do gentle and tender when he wanted to but, not with this sort of hunger raging just beneath the surface.
Her eyes darted from his, down to the erection tenting his shorts and back up before she moved closer. Once their bodies were almost touching, Ashleigh put her hands on his hips and began to push his shorts down, his erection straining to be free.
Without hesitation, which alone was the most erotic thing he’d ever witnessed, Ashleigh lowered his shorts down until they fell to the floor. Once they were a puddle on the tile, Ashleigh used her pink tipped toes to pull the fabric closer to her before going to her knees.
“Fuck.” Alex groaned as he watched. Honestly, he hadn’t expected anything like this from Ashleigh. Not the sweet, polite girl he’d had a hard on for for the better part of ten years now.
Backing to the wall so he could brace his legs, Alex watched as she touched him. It was like she was doing this for the very first time and the thought both thrilled and scared him.
Surely she wasn’t...
No way. She was almost thirty years old.
When she circled her fingers around his shaft, slowly gliding her petal soft hand up and down, he found himself captivated by the scene. It was like he was standing outside of his body watching, but that couldn’t be because it felt way too fucking good.
“Suck me.” He repeated the words she’d said to him earlier.
Alex slid his hand into her hair, pulling her closer as steam rose up around them, filling the bathroom with warmth. She swiped her tongue over her lips before using it to caress the head of his swollen cock, making him jerk in her hand.
She glanced up at him and smiled before pulling him deep into her mouth.
“Fuck.” The single word escaped when he sucked in his breath, his hands instinctively gripping her hair tighter.
She proceeded to lap at him, sucking lightly, scraping him gently with her teeth, and essentially attempting to blow his mind. And in that moment, he knew she’d never done that before, or if she had, the bastard hadn’t shown her how much he enjoyed it because she seemed almost... scared. And if not scared, she was most definitely uncertain.
“Suck me, Ashleigh. Take my cock in your mouth and suck. Use your tongue, baby.” He encouraged her, holding her head to him with one hand while gripping the base of his cock with the other and feeding it into her mouth.
“That’s it, baby. Stroke me.”
Taking her hand beneath his, he showed her how much pressure to apply as she stroked his shaft while bathing the head with her tongue. It was so fucking good, but he damn sure wasn’t going to come yet. As tempting as it was to let go and watch her swallow every last drop, Alex wasn’t done exploring her yet.
Pulling his cock free of her mouth and her hand, he helped her to her feet before pressing his lips down on hers. He probed her mouth with his tongue, devouring every inch he could taste. When he broke the kiss, he let the water pour over them for a second while he stared down at her.
“Did I do it wrong?” She asked, and her self-doubt had him gritting his teeth, disbelief and anger filling his mind.
He felt as though she had stabbed him in the heart. The insecurity he saw in her eyes nearly leveled him. “Baby, you’ve got the sweetest mouth. I’m just not ready to come yet.”
A small smile tilted her lips before he kissed her lightly.
“Now it’s my turn,” he said as he turned her so she was positioned where he had been, her back to the wall. He lifted her leg and placed her foot on the ledge before lowering himself to his knees.
The dark curls that shielded her sex were trim and neat, and he took a moment to glide his fingers through them before separating the soft pink folds beneath. He had to focus on breathing because the only thing he wanted to do was to get lost in this woman.
~~*~~
Ashleigh needed something to hold on to because she was pretty sure her legs were not going to hold her up once he... “Alex!”
The sensation was overwhelming, shards of electricity bolted through her, exploding as it touched exposed nerve endings and leaving her light headed. His tongue slid through the sensitive tissue, barely touching her, but it was too much. Her orgasm ignited, a fierce eruption blasting through her and making her knees buckle.
There had been no time to prepare, no way to know that the raspy warmth of his tongue would send her plummeting over the edge upon impact.
“I’ve got you, baby.” Alex said, holding her hips as he continued to kneel between her legs. Her muscles wouldn’t work, her bones had turned to mush, and she was flooded with a devastating sensation of fulfillment. Something she’d never felt before.
When he had actually stood back up, she didn’t know, but he was once again holding her against him, his fingers trailing down her spine as she fought for breath. He must think she was an idiot.
And then he was kissing her, pressing her against the cool tiles of the wall, his warm body flattened against hers, all of those sinfully sleek muscles rippling with tension beneath her fingertips. His kiss was gentle, sweet, yet she could taste the restrained hunger. When he reached behind her and shut off the water, she could only lean against the wall, hoping he didn’t expect her to walk because she wasn’t certain she’d be able to.
For a brief moment, he disappeared out of the shower, allowing her a second to suck in a breath, leaning her head against the wall and trying to pull herself together.
So that’s what it meant to have a mind blowing orgasm. She almost laughed at the thought. Here she’d been writing about it for years, and the self-induced ones weren’t even in the same galaxy as what Alex had just done to her.
He returned a moment later with a bath towel that he used to dry her completely. When he lingered a moment longer than was necessary between her legs, Ashleigh whimpered. There was still an ache in that general vicinity, and there was only one man capable of making it go away.
Thankfully Alex lifted her and carried her back to his bedroom because she wasn’t going to be able to walk on her own for at least a little while. That one orgasm had drained her of all remaining energy. More so than any ten mile run she could have ever gone on.
“I need to taste you again, Ashleigh.” Alex whispered in her ear as he came down on top of her.
She couldn’t say a word because she couldn’t muster up the strength, but she was pretty sure she wouldn’t survive another orgasm of that magnitude. So when he started trailing liquid fire kisses down her chest, her belly, then between her legs, she let go and let herself feel.
Her skin was hypersensitive, making every touch, no matter how small, nearly unbearable. The way his rough palm caressed her hip, her thigh, before the tips of his fingers opened her to his hungry gaze. The air cooled her overheated skin, but he was quickly ratcheting up her body temperature by the heated look in his eyes.
She tilted her head on the pillow so she could see what he was doing and when his tongue delved into her slit, she almost came off the bed. He was being gentle, but other than her own hands, which felt entirely different than this, she’d never been touched there. Not like she could tell him that though.
The ache intensified, her clit beginning to throb with need once again, so she put her hands on his head and pushed him between her legs, lost to the power of the climax building inside of her.
~~*~~
Alex was having a hard time controlling himself. Feeling Ashleigh’s body trembling beneath his touch was intense. He’d been with plenty of women in his lifetime, but he’d never noticed the sensual way their body responded to him. Until Ashleigh.
Alex didn’t think he’d ever get enough of her.
After what just happened in the shower, which still had his mind reeling, Alex couldn’t help but wonder again whether she’d ever been with a man or not. The way she reacted, he’d be inclined to say she had not, but he couldn’t wrap his mind around it. That just didn’t happen this day in age.
Easing between her legs, he used his thumbs to open her swollen lips so he could lap at the moisture he found there. She tasted like dark storms and deep promises, and he wanted to feast on her for hours, hell maybe even days. Giving in to what she wanted, he let her pull his head into her as he thrust his tongue inside her warm, wet heat before teasing her clit with his thumb.
Her moans were echoing in the room, a throaty, sexy sound that made his dick throb and his balls ache. He wanted to bury himself inside of her, to feel her grip him, hold him in her fiery depths until she shattered beneath him. Instead, he settled for flicking his tongue over her clit while inserting one finger into her warm, wet pussy.
“Alex.”
The way she moaned his name set off something dark and possessive inside his soul. If he had anything to say about it, his name would be the only one to ever come out of her mouth again like that.
He wanted to dominate her. He wanted to pleasure her until her every thought was filled with him. He wanted to own her – heart and soul.
“Alex, please.” Ashleigh begged. “I need to feel you.”
That was all he needed before he removed his finger from her silky hot depths and came over her again. Staring down into her eyes, he brushed his thumb across her bottom lip. “I want you to taste yourself on my lips.”
When their tongues met, he tasted her hunger, inhaled her passion and knew in that moment that what they did next was going to alter the course of his life forever. He had dreamed about this day, harbored a burning desire to take her in the most elemental of ways and now that the time had come, he prayed when it was over he’d be able to control himself.
Reaching into the nightstand, Alex pulled out a condom and ripped open the foil packet. With as much finesse as he could muster, he slid the latex over his throbbing cock before easing himself between her legs once more.
Using his knees, he pushed her legs wider before guiding the tip into her moist heat. When her fingernails dug into his back, he leaned in closer, holding his upper body off of her with his arms.
“Are you sure about this?” He needed her to be with him in this because if he was right, once he was inside of her, there would be no turning back.
“Yes.” She whispered. “Alex, please. I need to feel you.”
Alex pushed in deeper, her muscles gripping him painfully, so much so that he wondered whether her body would be able to take him.
“Relax, baby.” Putting his mouth on hers, he lightly kissed the edge of her mouth, running his tongue over the seam of her lips before slowly gliding his tongue inside, at the same time he pushed deeper into her body.
“You’re pussy is so fucking tight.” He groaned the words as the pain gripped him. She was tight. Tighter than he thought possible and she wasn’t relaxing as he’d told her. “Look at me, Ashleigh.”
Those amber eyes locked with his and he saw so much raw emotion there that his heart skipped a beat.
“Let me love you.” He hadn’t expected to say the words, but they came out anyway. “Relax.”
When she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for another earth shattering kiss, he thrust inside of her, and when she whimpered, he stilled instantly. Pulling back, he stared down at her and his heart damn near came right out of his chest.
Holy fucking hell...
Ashleigh must have seen the recognition in his eyes because she crushed her mouth to his and began thrusting her hips while trying to pull her in deeper. He was buried to the hilt inside of her, and if he wasn’t careful, he was going to come just from the realization alone. She was a virgin. He was the only man who had ever been inside of her.
The thought shocked him. So much so that the beast he harbored tore free, yanking the last thread of control from his grasp and he lifted her hip, changing the angle and began thrusting hard and fast into her. Over and over, delirious with the pleasure of being inside of her, knowing he was the only man who had ever felt the exquisite bliss of her body.
“Come for me, Ashleigh.” Alex told her when she dug her fingernails into his back, pulling him closer. “Come for me, baby.”
Drenched in sweat, he continued to pound inside of her, knowing he wasn’t going to last much longer because being sheathed in her body was like heaven on earth and the only thing that could have been better being if they’d been skin to skin. Since he couldn’t change that, he just focused on where their bodies were joined as one.
“That’s it, baby.” He encouraged her when her pussy gripped him tighter, her muscles clamping down on him until he was gritting his teeth so that he didn’t come too soon. “Come for me.” He growled the words, insisting that she let go and give in to him.
Apparently that was all she needed because she screamed his name, her fingernails scoring his skin as her body shook beneath his and an animalistic growl escaped as his own release ripped through him.
