Vindicate (Recovered Innocence #1)(44)

I don’t have to ask twice. His hands are suddenly everywhere. The sensations come at me one after the other. His kisses are hot and openmouthed, trailing down my neck and then OH, GOD. He latches on to my nipple and my knees buckle. Sweeping me up, he lays me on the bed, covering my body with his. The weight of him is more than I expected and yet not enough. My back arches under the onslaught of his mouth at my breasts. He’s driving me crazy toward something. It’s building. I clutch at his head, keeping him right there where I want him.

His chuckle vibrates against me. He bites me, gently sinking his teeth into my flesh. My hips come off the bed. He does it again. His hand is between my legs and I have a moment where I think to push it away. He hits a spot I didn’t know existed and then I’m bucking against his hand. He drifts down my body, his gaze burning. Pushing my thighs wider apart, he looks down at me. Before I can stop him he puts his mouth RIGHT THERE and it’s like I’ve been hit with a million volts.

The shock of what he’s doing stuns me into submission. I let him lick and suck on me down there. It’s good. It’s so, so good. I didn’t know. He parts my folds, exposing more of me. I lift my head to watch and I can’t believe what I’m seeing. I can’t believe how damn good it is. I had no idea. He’s doing this thing with suction and his tongue, little flicks. It’s making me insane. He pinches my nipples softly, then harder.

“Harder,” I gasp.

He does it harder. Sensations rush at me, one after another in great waves. His mouth, his hands, his tongue, his…OH, MY GOD. Arching back, I cry out suddenly. Shocked, I clap a hand over my mouth.

He moves it away, laughing. “Yell all you want, Bluebird. There’s no one but me to hear you, and I like it.”

He kisses the inside of my thigh, my stomach, and then the slope of my breast as he makes his way back up to me. Holding me against him, he strokes my back. I’m out of breath and kind of tingly all over. He’s so big and warm. I snuggle in to him and let my eyes drift shut. I don’t think about how weird it is that I’m lying naked with him or how only weeks ago I wasn’t sure I could trust him.

My body gets heavy. My thoughts slow…

I wake up sometime later, confused. It takes me a minute of slight panic to realize where I am. The ocean crashes outside in a dependable rhythm. It’s dark, darker than I’m used to. Leo’s heart beats steadily beneath my cheek. I’m draped across him like a blanket. He’s got an arm around me, tucking me in close. Sometime in the night he pulled the covers over us. We’re skin to skin. What happened earlier comes back to me and heat creeps into my face. I can’t believe what I did. I can’t believe what I let him do to me.

But I’m not sorry. I totally get what Jamie’s been yammering about for like forever. Orgasms rock. I want another one. Soon. Maybe now. I shift, hoping to wake him up. He pulls me snugger against him and sighs. I slide my hand down his body. His penis feels weird. It’s all soft and deflated.

He grabs my wrist, stopping my exploration. “Go back to sleep.”

“What if I don’t want to?”

“It’s late.”

“You don’t want to?”

“Want to what?”

“We didn’t…you know.”

“We didn’t what?” He moves fast. Suddenly he’s on top of me. “Tell me what you want, Bluebird, and I’ll give it to you.”

“I want you to do that thing you did before.”

“Which thing? I did a lot of things.”

“Where you put your mouth down there.” I point between our bodies.

I can feel him grinning in the dark. “Down where? Down here?” He touches my knee.

“Higher.”

“Say it. Say the word.”

I shake my head.

“Here?” His hand slides up the inside of my thigh.

“Higher.”

“I’ve heard you say a lot of naughty words. You can’t say this one?”

“No.”

His hand finally finds the right spot. “Here?”

“Yes. There.” My voice is all breathy.

He whispers next to my ear: “You want my mouth on your *?”

I shiver. “Yes.”

“You want me to lick and suck on your *?”

That word does strange things to me. Every time he says it I get a jolt. “Yes. Please.”

“You want me to make you come again?”

I nod.

“Cora,” he growls. “Say the words and I’ll make you come so hard you’ll think you’ve died.”

“I…” I can’t say it.

He places kisses along my jaw and then captures my mouth for a long, winding kiss that leaves me breathless. Sliding his fingers through my slickness, he toys with me. He’s not really serious. I catch glimpses of the sensation I had earlier, but his fingers skate away before it can really take hold. It’s driving me crazy. Reaching between us, I find his half-hard penis and stroke it. He makes a guttural sound that lets me know he likes it. It gets harder and harder. He clamps a hand on my wrist to still my movements.

Heh. Two can play the teasing game.

And then his mouth is on my breast and I can’t think.

“What do you want?” The low, sexy rumble of his voice vibrates straight to where his hand is doing wicked things to me.
