CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Harris grabbed her up before she even got to the doorknob. Of course, he did. Riley knew he would, but she wasn’t going to make this easy on him. The man better tell her what she needed to hear or—
“Oh, no!” he whispered to her ear. “It’s dark out now and you cannot leave. It isn’t safe in the jungle at night.”
“Oh, fuck the dark. I’ve been in it apparently, since I flew off your mountain! You just shut me down and shut me out the minute Adam showed up!”
“Yes, yes I did,” he admitted calmly as he carried her across the room and to the dresser. Opening a drawer, he fished through it. Then he turned and walked back to the bed, dropping her down on it.
Her eyes narrowed. What is he doing? And why is he acting so calm now? Before she could even take a breath, her wrists were tied up. “Oh. Fuck. No!” she shouted and struggled just as he finished tying her ankles.
“Oh, fuck yes.” He grinned down at her.
“This is not funny, Harris!”
“Oh, yes it is.” He tugged his tee shirt off.
“And you put that back on, Mister!”
He kept chuckling as he lowered his hands unsnapping his jeans.
“Oh, no. You are not going to use that magnificent body to worm our way out of this!”
He kept on grinning.
Dammit, she was losing this one fast. “I mean it. It will be rape!” Fear of losing this battle rampant now that he had her tied.
Harris stared at her for a second. He tilted his head back and laughed hardily.
She huffed. “You cannot just tie people up, Harris! Hasn’t anyone ever told you this?”
“I do what I have to do. Do I need to remind you of that?” He lowered his jeans and his briefs with them.
Huffing with disgust, Riley turned her head away and shut her eyes. She just wouldn’t look. She knew better than to look. He was built like a fucking tank. She knew this. All those hard planes, abs and powerful everything!
He kept chuckling as his weight dipped the bed. “Ridge,” he whispered. “Come on. You know you did not come all the way here to…”
Tears slipped down her cheeks.
He halted. “Dammit Ridge.”
She refused to speak and now she’d blown it. Crying like a little kid. Yeah, great way to keep your dignity.
He grasped her face and lowered his lips to hers. “I’m sorry. I-I do love you Ridge.”
Her eyes opened rounding as she gazed into those emerald depths of his. She’d dreamed of hearing this from those yummy lips in that deep voice and she never thought she would. But he couldn’t just say what he knew she wanted to hear and that be that. “You have a funny way of showing it!”
“I’m holding you hostage. I won’t let you go ever again. I will shower you, feed you. Keep you.”
She licked her lips at the memories these words brought. “Well, those are the strangest vows I ever heard.”
He laughed. “God, you are beautiful.”
“Well, apparently, a forgettable beauty.” She pouted.
He caressed her face with gentle fingers. “I was tortured night and day. Every minute of every hour. I couldn’t get you out of my head or my heart. I think I was going insane.”
Her eyes got beady. Still not good enough. If he only knew how much she’d cried. What she felt like when she got to the mountain to see the cabin empty. Her soul felt empty, barren. She’d never felt so alone like she did that day.
He couldn’t help but smile at her doubtful expression. “Oh, you don’t believe me?”
She pursed her lips. “Love them and leave them Harris. You just rolled me to get sex then you left!”
“Dammit, Ridge. I would have come and got you or shoot myself in the head. One or the other.”
Her eyes widened.
He nodded. “There’s no life without you. I was planning just tonight to come and kidnap you. I couldn’t take it anymore. Was going to take you right out of his arms and keep you.”
“B-but I wasn’t ever in his arms, Harris.”
He sighed as his forehead met hers. “I didn’t know. I wanted you to be happy.”
“I was for once in my life.”
He stared into her eyes.
“When I was with you, you big dumb beast.”
Laughing, he replied, “Well, I’m going to make you happy again.” He rose up and reached into a drawer on his night stand. Raising up scissors, he lowered them down and cut through her shirt. Then he tugged it off. “The bra has to go.” He snipped it at the center and it fell to the sides. Licking his lips, he smiled. “Yum. It will be days and days till you are allowed to wear underwear of any kind.” He then snipped away her pants. Moving down, he removed her shoes and socks too.
Her mouth fell open in shock. “Harris, you didn’t have to—”
He placed his fingers on her lips. “Shhh, I am the captor here and you are my hostage.” Moving up over her, his satiny skin skimmed her bare body.
She remained unmoved, bracing herself. She was still so mad. But god, he was magnificent, just like she remembered.
Harris then did something odd, he kissed the top of her head. Shoving his face deep into her hair, he kissed it again.
Freezing, she hadn’t expected something so tender—something so unlike him.
Next, he moved to her forehead and kissed her there. Skimming his way down, he kissed her nose. “So cute, that little nose.” He kissed it again.
Speechless, Riley just laid there. What the hell was this?
Kissing her cheeks, her chin, he moved over to her ear and tongued the inside of it.
Her body jumped a little with his warm, wet tonguing of her ear.
He moved to her other ear, tonguing that too.
Her entire body shivered.
His mouth moved down along her neck, kissing and nipping her skin.
Dammit, she was already wet. No, don’t give in.
Working his way down, he covered her chest with his mouth, his tongue, tasting her. Finally, he got to her breasts and grabbed both of them, pushing them together and working his mouth across both nipples back and forth.
Her body rippled with the electric feeling as he teased each nipple with his teeth. Releasing them, he moved down along her stomach.
Her chest heaved, as she felt bereft with the loss of his oral attention to her nipples.
All the while, he squeezed her skin with his hands while his mouth got to every inch it could, laving her, kissing her. He groaned to her belly button as he even stuck his tongue in there.
She realized this was a different kind of torture than he’d ever gave her before. She was in deep trouble. Panting, she refused to speak, or rather, she couldn’t as her breathing wouldn’t allow it and her brain was entirely fuzzed with the sensations he was causing.
His mouth and hands traveled down as he kissed her hips with reverence. “I missed this little butterfly,” he spoke to her skin.
God, the man was too much! Her body trembled in his grasp.
He even licked her little tat then moved on to her lower belly, he sucked her skin into his mouth and covered her with kisses, his tongue hot and velvety. Getting to her mound, he paused.
Oh, god. Don’t pause! Her brain screamed.
Lowering his face, he lathered her mound with his skilled tongue.
Body tremoring, her panting was loud in the room as his tongue went past there and down her to thigh, laving, kissing, sucking.
This would drive her insane! Maybe that was his intention?
His mouth moved to her calves, doing the same ritual.
Riley knew for sure, she’d never experienced this in her entire life. A man kissing her from head to—
Harris then kissed her toes and sucked in each one.
The man was kissing her toes!
He moved to her other foot treating each toe the same way. Raising her foot, he gave her instep a long sweet lick down to her heel.
Her body jumped involuntarily with this sensation. He cannot be serious with this! Wet between her thighs, she could feel more bubbling out of her pussy.
He went up and licked around her ankle then gently sunk his teeth into her other clave, nipping.
Finally, with desperate, panting breaths, she broke her silence vow, “STOP! I-I c-can’t…”
Snickering, he loosened the tie from her ankles and whispered, “I’m only halfway there.”
Her eyes widened as he grabbed her waist and flipped her over onto her stomach.
“Oh!” she exclaimed with her face meeting the pillow.
Chuckling, he started at her ankle again, her Achilles tendon.
NO! NO! Her mind screamed. This cannot be happening. He’d surprised her again. She should’ve known. The man never did anything she expected.
He licked up along her clave, then to her thigh. Switching to her other thigh, he took a nip of the inside of it.
“Ohhh,” she let out a breath as she shook like a leaf.
He continued up to her ass, tongue busy, teeth nipping, hot mouth setting her skin literally on fire. Getting to her ass cheeks, he growled and sank his mouth down on one.
I. AM. GONNA. DIE.
Her gasping was full out now, as she knew she was sopping wet, her pussy muscles clenched as she fought her climax. Her pussy was on fire and he hadn’t even touched her there. No, no coming! She couldn’t give in so easy.
He moved to her other cheek, nipping and kissing her entire globe. Squeezing both ass cheeks at the same time.
Her pussy clenched again and her breath caught in her throat as his hot mouth moved up along her back. More tonguing, kissing, sucking and nipping. He even traced his tongue up her entire spine to her neck then he shoved his nose in her hair and took a deep sniff. “Mmm,” he groaned.
With the sound of his voice, those fingers and that relentless blazing mouth, her body was quivering like someone was tasing her with a small but exquisite currents of pure electricity.
Moving to her shoulders, he gave each the same oral treatment, leaving her shivering with his long wet trails of tonguing.
Suddenly, his large hands were grasping her hips and he raised her up on her knees.
Her brain barely registered this as she hopelessly grasped at coherent thoughts like they were hapless straws wandering away from her. What was I fighting? What is happening? Try as she might, she couldn’t focus on any one thought.
His tongue started at her pussy seam and traced all the way up to her tight, little back hole.
Moaning helplessly, her brain now nothing but mush, she grunted.
Next, he stuck his tongue into her little hole while holding onto her hips.
Her body arched up off the bed.
Chucking softly, he held her tightly as he stuck his tongue in again, then finally, his fingers came up and he flicked her swollen, sensitive clit.
“NO!” she screamed as she came instantly. Her cream gushing from her without her permission.
Fuck, fuck, fuuuuck!
Harris groaned at this as he licked and sucked at her folds and her clit while she came, seeming to be intent on getting every last drop. He literally grunted and growled as his hot mouth attacked her pussy.
On her chest with her ass up in the air, she was more than helpless to do anything but give him what he seemingly wanted. God dammit! How could she have forgotten that this man was pure sex? Raw, greedy…all out dirty hot, erotic sex.
Now, her body was being raised up and his powerful legs were stretched out on the bed as he planted her right down on his huge, hard cock. He sunk her straight down, filling her pussy in a flat fucking second.
She screamed, “Harris!”
He speared her straight up to the hilt. “Now I’m going to fuck you,” he announced with a growl.
Panting and heaving, she couldn’t speak if her life depended on it as he raised her up and brought her down.
Never had she felt a man so well inside of her, deep, demanding, no yielding. No room for anything but that magnificent, hard throbbing cock.
He rose her up using her hips to fuck her, then down repeatedly over his cock, pounding her with a vengeance.
Her pussy gave a spasm as she came again, her stomach tightening with an all out consuming orgasm. For a long moment, she experienced nirvana. Pure unadulterated, mindless bliss as he shot her to the top of a sexual heaven. She literally had no breath and it felt like her heart had stopped.
Like a blow up doll, her body slumped as if someone had thrashed all the air out of her. Weak and mindless, her head dropped helplessly to her heaving chest. Gasping for breath, the room spun around her all while his hard cock continued to jut up inside her.
Halting finally, Harris held her still as he came inside her. “Mine, forever, Ridge,” he growled as he filled her.
Heat flowed up inside her with his hot pulsing cum and she knew he’d showed her what she needed to know. She was his, she had no choice, and he belonged to her too. She whispered, breathlessly, “Y-yes—forever.”
