Amber Eyes (Amber Eyes #1)(29)

“Condoms?”she echoed.

“They’re sheaths that go over our…”He looked down and she quickly got the idea. “They protect you from pregnancy—and diseases.”

“Diseases?”She was beginning to feel very stupid about this mating business.

“You don’t have to worry about diseases,”Jericho growled. “It’s been a long damn time for both of us, and there was only one woman we didn’t wear condoms with.”

His response didn’t really answer her confusion, and now she wondered about this other woman. Maybe later she’d have the courage to ask about her.

“I’ll go start a shower and be back for you in just a second,”Hunter said as he backed off the bed.

She watched as he walked nude across the room and disappeared into the bathroom.

“Are you all right?”Jericho asked as he pulled her into his embrace.

She nodded and snuggled deeper into his arms. “I don’t like having to wait to take you inside me.”

He laughed softly. “I guarantee I don’t like it any more than you. We have all the time in the world, though, and I want it to be perfect for you when it happens.”

She sighed in contentment. She liked the promise of having time. It made it sound like he had no intention of being parted from her.

Chapter Sixteen

Kaya stood in the small bathroom as Hunter rubbed her dry with a warm towel that Jericho had held in front of the fire while she and Hunter showered. When he’d finished, he pulled her close, warming her with his body heat.

“Hunter?”

He pulled away and looked questioningly at her.

“Jericho didn’t…that is he didn’t have any pleasure.”She frowned slightly as she wrapped her mind around what it was she was trying to ask.

“I’d say he got a lot of pleasure from watching you,”Hunter said. “But ultimate satisfaction, no he didn’t. Not yet.”

Her brow wrinkled in consternation. “Isn’t there anything I can do to give him pleasure?”

“There is,”he said carefully. “But I think it might be best if we took things slowly.”

“Tell me,”she insisted, latching onto his first statement and ignoring the last. “I want to please him.”

Hunter sighed. “A man likes it very much when a woman takes him in her mouth. He could achieve satisfaction without hurting you.”

Her pulse jumped in excitement. “Show me.”

Hunter shook his head. “I don’t think it would be a good idea.”

Kaya gripped his arms. “Show me, Hunter. Please. I want to do this for Jericho.”Then another thought occurred to her. She cocked her head to the side. “Would it bring you pleasure to watch me satisfy Jericho?”

“Yes,”he growled. “Very much so.”

Her br**sts tingled and began to ache in anticipation. “Show me what to do.”

He hesitated for a moment and then carefully pushed at her shoulders until she went down on her knees in front of him. She was eye level with his groin, and she began to understand what it was he was trying to tell her.

He placed one hand on top of her head and he grasped his c**k with the other hand and slowly guided it toward her mouth.

“Open for me, honey. Let me inside your mouth.”

Her lips parted instantaneously and he slid inside, just as he’d done earlier between her legs. Only she could taste him. Inhale his masculine scent and feel his hardness on her tongue.

“Be careful of your teeth. Suck but not too hard. Relax and let me slide all the way in.”

She listened carefully to his instructions, but she soon grew impatient and began to move on her own. He grew larger and harder between her lips, and she explored each ridge and vein with her tongue.

He groaned even as he thrust to the very back of her throat.

All too soon, he withdrew, his heavy breathing fogging the mirror again.

“Why did you pull away?”she asked around swollen lips.

“Because I liked it too much and you wanted to do this for Jericho. He’ll be in the living room. Go on out and find him.”

She rose but reached out to fondle the heavy sac between his legs. Her fingers explored the texture and softness of the puckered, hair-covered skin.

“You’re going to kill me,”he said in a strangled voice.

“Are you going to watch?”she asked curiously.

“Oh yeah, I’m going to watch and fantasize that it’s me you’re sucking off.”

Satisfied that he’d in some way be included, she left the bathroom, still nude, in search of Jericho. She found him on the couch, dressed. She smiled in anticipation of removing those pants.

He looked up when she walked around in front of him. His eyes glittered when he saw her naked body, but he quickly tried to mask his arousal. Her lips twitched as she fought her smile of triumph. He didn’t want to chance hurting her, but he had no idea what she had in store for him.

She knelt on the floor in front of him and wiggled between his slightly parted knees. She rested her elbows on the tops of his legs and studied him for a long moment, absorbing the way he looked at her.

Then her gaze dropped to the discernible bulge at the juncture of his jean-clad thighs. Placing her palm on the inside of his leg, she ran her hand up to cup his groin. He sucked in his breath then reached to pull her hand away.
