Chapter
Twenty-Two
On the way into the bathroom for a frantic shower, so we could make it to Drew’s game on time, I hollered, “I can’t believe you let me sleep in so late,” down the hall to Mom.
“You needed it. You don’t think I know how late you stay up working, but I do. A mother knows all.”
“Hear that, Drew?” I asked with a yell.
“If a mother knows all, then how come you didn’t know to set your alarm?”
That little monster. When I didn’t reply, he knew he had me and started cackling.
Just before I closed the door, Mom called, “How about we meet you there? I know how long you take.”
“No, I’ll be quick.”
“We’re going. Bye,” Mom shouted back.
“Mom!” I snapped.
“See you there, Mom,” Drew yelled, and then I heard a door slam. Dang it. I wanted to take the one car since we were all going to Vice’s after. I quickly got undressed and started the shower. Vice was going to meet us at basketball, and I didn’t want my mom and him alone for too long. I didn’t know what she’d tell him.
In record time I was done and drying myself. Since no one was home, I walked from the bathroom to my room naked, only that was when I heard a male voice speaking low.
I froze.
Shit, was there a robber?
My mind panicked before my heart, but it soon joined with a fast beat. Tiptoeing into my room, I grabbed the baseball bat I kept for those types of occasions. Not that we got robbed a lot. In fact, it was never, but I knew when moving into Mom’s, I would be the one who needed to do all the protecting. Mom would probably offer a would-be robber a cup of tea and a chat, while Drew asked them to play a game.
So, with my heart in my throat, I snuck down the hall. My ears pricked when I heard someone curse right before something was knocked to the ground.
I jumped around the corner with a battle cry. “Get the fuck out of my house.”
Then I screamed myself.
That was before I tensed. My eyes popped open, and I sucked in a breath only to stop breathing altogether.
Because Vice Salvatore was standing in the living room.
Vice Salvatore was standing there as shocked as I was with a phone to his ear.
“I have to go,” he whispered. After he hung up, he slid it back into his pocket. His eyes roamed over my body and heated. “I didn’t think we were at this stage yet, but I’m more than willing.” He reached for his casual tee and pulled it up over his head.
“Oh, my,” I mumbled, as my eyes scanned his body.
However, an issue soon registered in my head.
I was still holding the baseball bat up high.
And I was completely naked.
I let out a yelp, dropped the bat, and covered my breast with one arm, while the other went over my mound.
“OhmyGod, ohmyGod.”
“So, we’re not heading to the bedroom?” Vice asked. He sounded truly disappointed.
“No, yes, maybe. No, not yet. OhmyGod. I haven’t shaved, trimmed, and plucked. Don’t look at me. Are you hungry? Eat while I dress.”
“I’m very hungry.” His gaze again ogled my body.
“Um. I better dress, and you put your top on. You’re very distracting.” It would explain why I hadn’t run from the room and instead stood there speaking to his abs.
He ignored me. “I knew you’d be perfect under your clothes.”
Stunned. I was absolutely stunned by his words. However, my body wasn’t. My nipples hardened, and my clit pulsed, while my core clenched, and I felt, felt, my hoo-ha dampen.
“So fucking perfect,” he growled out and took the steps needed to stop in front of my dazed form. “Baby,” he roughly clipped. His hands came to my waist and brought my body against his. My hands slammed into his chest, while I stared up at him.
My body hummed. I wanted the man in front of me. Oh, so very much.
“Vice,” I whispered.
“Christ,” he bit out, then lowered his mouth to touch mine, once, twice and then on the third, he slanted his mouth over mine and claimed it.
Wrapping my arms around his neck, he slid his around and cupped my butt. I moaned against him. Feeling his naked chest against mine was consuming. Having his hands on my bare ass was tantalizing.
Up on my tippy toes, I curled my arms tighter and rubbed myself against him. He groaned, pressing his hardness into me more.
He pulled back. “Shit,” he puffed. “I didn’t come here for this.”
“I know.” I nodded.
“You need to get dressed,” he ordered.
“Do I?” I asked, because I wasn’t sure I had to at that moment. I was enjoying the touch and feel of Vice.
“You must, or I’ll have my mouth on your pussy next. Been dying for a taste, Adalyn.”
My body shuddered. It wouldn’t matter if I was a little late, would it?
“That, um, sounds okay.”
His eyes widened, and with his strong arms, he gripped my ass again, only he lifted me at the same time. With a huff of laughter, I wrapped my legs around his waist.
“Bedroom?”
“Second door down the hall on the right side.”
His steps ate up the floor in his fast pace. We were in my room in seconds. Next, I was lying flat on the bed with Vice looming over me, his eyes roaming over my body.
“Honey, as much as I like you looking at me like that, we’re going to have to hurry. Drew’s game,” I reminded him.
He nodded and nodded again. Then he kissed my neck, my shoulder, while I ran my hands over his amazingly wide back.
“Did you used to be a swimmer in school?” I asked, because his body was made to swim.
“Baby, now isn’t the time for questions.” He chuckled against my breast, only to then take my nipple in his mouth.
“Oh,” I moaned. My back pressed against the mattress, and I slid my hands into his hair. So soft. “Do you use product in your hair?” I asked.
His lips left my breast. Dang it. He was laughing again. “I can see I’m going to have to distract you more to make you speechless. But don’t hold back your moans or sounds of pleasure for me, Addy. I want to hear it all.” He didn’t see my nod since he started to kiss down my stomach and then the top of my mound.
“I didn’t trim,” I confessed on a yell.
He snorted. “Adalyn, baby, you think I care right now?”
“Um, no?”
“No. Now widen your legs more. I want to see your pussy before I devour it.”
He slid to his stomach while I opened my legs, feeling suddenly shy and nervous. At his first touch against my center, my body jolted, and I glanced down to see his eyes were already looking up. “Goddamn perfect,” he gruffly said and then leaned in, while still holding my stare, to kiss my clit.
My breathing was erratic as he swirled his tongue around my clit. I bit down on my bottom lip. He shook his head. “No, baby. Don’t hold back,” he ordered. I nodded, and when he flicked his tongue up and down, then over my clit again, I arched and moaned. If I could have Vice’s head between my legs all day long, I would.
It was torture, but of the pleasurable kind.
He glided his hands under my ass and gripped before he tongued my center.
“Vice,” I gasped, already close to climaxing. “Yes, please.” Just when he inserted his fingers, and he paid special attention to my clit, I lost it, crying out as my walls convulsed and my body shook through my orgasm. He kissed back up my body, his smug grin coming into view.
“It’s been a while, so don’t think it was just you.”
He winked. “It’s all me.”
Scoffing, I then smiled, running my hands up his strong arms. “True, it is just you. But now it’s time for a nap.”
He laughed. “No, we need to get going so you should dress.”
Shifting one hand from his arm, I slid it between us and gripped his cock. He hissed. “I’d like to take care of this first.”
His eyes closed. He cursed low and sat back on his knees. “Next time. This was all about you.”
My head reared into the pillow. “Say what?”
He grinned, leaned down and kissed my lips quickly before climbing off the bed. “We have to get going, but I’ll be sure to take you up on that offer real soon.”
“But you’re hard.” I sat and grabbed the pillow to put in front of me.
“Very hard.” He nodded.
“So I want to help you relieve that hardness.”
Vice groaned and glanced back. “Soon, you will, but baby, we can’t miss Drew’s game entirely. I know once you start, I won’t stop until I’m deep inside you while you scream my name as you come over my cock.”
Oh, wow!
Vice’s grin turned into a smirk. He knew my thoughts, how I wanted all that to happen and right then. “Soon.” He walked to the door. “I’ll wait for you in the living room.”
“Hang on,” I called, and grabbed the shirt I wore yesterday, slipping it over my head on my way to him. Placing my hands on his chest, I leaned in. “You’re a good man, Vice Salvatore.”
The corner of his lips tipped up in a wicked smile. His hands once again landed on my butt, where he applied pressure. I gasped. Then he said, “You wouldn’t think so if you knew what I was thinking.”
“Um….”
“Yeah.” He grinned.
“You, ah, seem to like touching my bottom.”
“Been staring at it a long time, baby. I totally love your ass. Now kiss me and get ready.”
“Okay,” I whispered.
It was after the steamy kiss, one I wanted a repeat of a million times over, when Vice asked, “How come you had a bat when you came down naked?”
“Mom and Drew left, and I’d just gotten out of the shower when I heard a voice in the house. I thought you were a robber.”
His eyes shot wide. “And you were going for an attack while naked?”
Shrugging, I grabbed some panties out and nodded. “Sure.”
He chuckled. “If it’d been a robber, you would have made him very happy. But, Adalyn, next time, you get dressed and hide, then call for help.”
“Now there’s an idea.” I grinned, Vice frowned. He knew I wouldn’t do any different next time. I was fiercely protective of Drew and Mom. Even though they hadn’t been home, it was Mom’s house I was keeping safe.
“Adalyn,” he growled low.
A quick change of the subject was in order. “Hey, how did you get in?”
He sighed, shaking his head. “Was close by. Thought I’d call in to take you all to the game. Your mom let me in, saying you were running late and to wait for you while she took Drew on ahead.”
I groaned. “She could have told me you were here before she left.”
Another wicked smile. “Then we wouldn’t have had so much fun.”
