Bender (The Core Four #1)(51)



I had no clue how long I stood there in his arms and wept, but as my tears slowed I was able to take deeper breaths. I became acutely aware of Camden’s hold on me. I was pressed tightly to his warmth, and I couldn’t help but noticed the very obvious erection that was digging into my stomach. I wiggled a bit to readjust my footing. He hissed at the sensation. My eyes shot up to his, and he knew that I knew. I watched as his look changed from gentle and caring to dark and toxic in a matter of seconds. The brown of his eyes were completely swallowed by his black pupils. His Adam’s apple bobbed. Ghosting his hands down my arms, his fingertips drifted across the hem of his shirt, brushing the tops of my thighs. I sucked in a breath. His eyes narrowed at me, and I knew in that moment that I wouldn’t be able to stop this. I didn’t want to. He lifted the shirt a few inches, gauging my reaction. He waited for me to tell him that this was okay, that this was what I wanted. I gave a slight nod, giving him permission to continue. As he raised up the fabric, I had a fleeting thought that I wasn’t wearing a bra. Camden was about to see a whole lot of me. I should have been worried about whether I had on my pretty lace panties, but I was more concerned with my body. I remembered the last few girls he’d brought home and how they looked. I still wasn’t at my goal weight, and I hated that I was scared that he might think I was too big or unattractive. He sensed my apprehension when he got the shirt as high as my belly button. Leaning forward he placed his forehead on mine.

“Clear your head Keegan. You’re going to be perfect.”

“I don’t look like the other girls, Camden.”

“I know. That’s what makes you perfect.”

And just like that, he melted me. I raised my arms up over my head. Like moving in slow motion, the fabric came up over my stomach, breasts, head, and then my arms. Each one tingling as the damp air hit them. When he dropped the shirt on the floor I let my arms come back down to my sides. I watched as his russet eyes traveled from my face to my breasts. Every single one of my nerve endings were alight with fire. My nipples pebbled under his watchful gaze. I had the urge to reach up and cover myself, but I refrained.

“Take off your underwear.” He spoke so deeply it was like a low rumble in his chest.

My face reddened, and I was feeling shy. “You…you wa-want everything off?” I stuttered.

“I want to see all of you. I want nothing in my way when I touch you. Underwear Keegan, now,” he demanded.

My hands trembled with a nervousness I’d never known before, but I complied. Hooking my fingers in my black silk panties, I slid them down my thighs and let them pool at my feet. I lifted one foot at a time and stepped out of them. I was completely bared to Camden, and he was to me. He reached up and touched my no longer covered hip with the subtlest of brushes. While he looked over my very naked body, I finally gave myself permission to see all that was Camden. My mouth parted at the view. He was quite a bit more endowed than I originally assumed. It was multiple inches of velvety skin with a smooth crown that stood at attention. I’d felt his cock against me before, but I couldn’t tell just how big he really was.

“Enjoying the view, Blue?”

Ack! He caught me staring. “No! I was just noticing this little freckle on your side.”

“So you don’t like what you see?” he teased.

“Yes! No! Wait…what was the question?”

Camden chuckled. “It’s okay to look,” he said, trying to lighten the tense atmosphere.

“In that case, I looked but didn’t see anything special.” I shrugged with indifference.

He gave a full bellied laugh. “You know, this just wouldn’t be right if that little attitude of yours didn’t come out to play.”

“What attitude? I showed you mine, you showed me yours, I said I wasn’t impressed. Now I’m ready for bed.” I knew full well I was poking a sleeping bear, but Camden was my bear, and I was ready for the chase.

His strong hand shot out and wrapped around my bicep. Yanking my back to him, my body was flush with his. His cock pushed against the crack of my ass, and my skin was engulfed in goosebumps. Growling in my ear he said, “We’ll talk later about how impressed you were when I make you scream my name. But in the meantime let’s get one thing straight. There’s no going back.” The hand that wasn’t holding my arm came around to splay across my stomach. “When I touch you, you will be begging for more. You’ll be panting for me to take you every way that is humanly possible.” Hard calloused fingers moved down to cup my sex. I moaned loudly, wishing like hell that he would spread me open and touch me where I wanted it. Nipping at my ear he breathed, “And when I fuck you, you’ll know no one else owns this pussy but me.” My whole body shook with desire. One deft finger slid between my folds and circled my clit over and over until my knees threatened to give out. When the room around me started to fade away he suddenly stopped, and I whimpered at the loss. I felt his lips form a smile, he knew he had me. “This…all of this.” He pressed his cock between my cheeks, and he reached up to tweak my nipple. “This won’t happen unless you tell me one thing.”

I was breathing so hard, and my mind was so lost to him I didn’t know how I answered, “What?”

“That you’re mine.”

He pinched my nipple again, this time harder, and it sent a jolt of pleasure straight to my core. I ground my ass back against Camden. He groaned and brought his hand down on my cheek with a slap. It startled me but intensified my need.
