Tied Up, Tied Down (Rough Riders #4)(20)

She nodded.

“I’ll grab the condoms. And if you ain’t in there, make no mistake, I will rip this house apart lookin’ for you.” Kade sprinted to the bathroom. He dug through his shaving kit for the stash and was back at the door to heaven in under a minute.

With the shades drawn and the hall light off, the room was completely dark when he stepped inside. “Where’s the light switch?”


“Doesn’t matter. The bulb is burned out.”


“Don’t you have a lamp in here or something?”


“Kade, I’m in the middle of the bed completely naked. Do you really want to talk about the lack of lighting?”


“Nope.” He stripped to skin. “But I’ll admit I’d hoped to see more of you this time than last time.”


“You can feel as much of me as you want.”


He walked in a straight line until his shins hit solid wood. “Fuck. That hurt.”


“Come up here and I’ll kiss it and make it better.”


“I’m holdin’ you to that.” He crawled on the bed to find Skylar was indeed, totally buck-ass bare and in her usual position—right smack dab in the center of the bed. “You do know you’re a bed hog, right?”


“What are you talking about?”


“You. See, a week or so back, you started snugglin’ into me in the dead of the night.

At first I thought it was because you liked bein’ close to me.” Kade’s fingers circled her ankle and he slid her right leg aside to crawl between her thighs. “I hoped that was your way of sayin’ you wanted me.” He kissed the top of her foot, jangling the bells on her ankle bracelet. “Then I realized you were used to havin’ the bed to yourself and didn’t wanna share. Snugglin’ into me was your way of pushin’ me out of your space.”


The mattress shifted and Skylar sat up. “Why didn’t you tell me?”


“Because I liked havin’ you next to me, no matter what your motives were. Don’t matter right now.” He fluttered his fingertips up the inside of her thighs. “Spread your legs wider for me, sweetheart.”


Kade caught a whiff of her arousal. Thick. Sweet. Warm. He wanted to taste her so damn bad his mouth was watering. Keeping his hands gripping her thighs, he leaned over and put his mouth on her belly button.

Her stomach muscles rippled beneath his lips.

He dipped his tongue into the indentation, then dragged it down to the top of her pubic bone. He blew softly across her damp curls.

Goose flesh broke out across her legs and she softly gasped.

“Any objections about me kissin’ you down here?”


“Ah. No. Please.”


Kade chuckled at her polite eagerness. After a couple of gentlemanly licks, he buried his face in her *, found her pulse with his tongue and began to suck her clit.

She moaned his name. His. Kade.

Oh yeah. This is what he wanted. Needed. Just Sky. Just like this. Pliant. Eager, and his.

Skylar’s hands stripped the sheet from the mattress. She ground her wet sex into his face as she started to come, gasping, thrashing against him and the bed, trying to suppress the sounds of her orgasm. He kept sucking her sweet * until she sighed contentment and her legs stopped twitching.

“God, Kade, you make me crazy when you do that.”


“I know.” Grinning, Kade rose to his knees. He reached for the condoms, ripped open the box and tore a package free.

“Let me.”


“I remember how to do this part, although Eliza’s existence might convince you otherwise.”


“I don’t regret anything about her, Kade. Not a single thing.”


That shocked him into stillness.

“I didn’t get to touch you anywhere last time. Let me. Please.”


Couldn’t say no to that. He admired her silhouette as she opened the package with her teeth. Sky smoothed her left hand up his thigh and he withheld a shiver at her tender touch. Placing the latex over the head of his cock, she rolled it down to the root. She curled her hand around the girth and stroked.

His cock jerked hopefully in her hand.

“You were pulling pretty hard and fast in the shower. Doesn’t that hurt?”


“No. Another time I’ll teach you the secret to a great handjob. Right now, lay back.”


As soon as she was horizontal, Kade levered himself over her—his legs brushing inside hers, his palms flat by her shoulders, matched pelvis to pelvis.

Sky touched his face with the tips of her cool fingers and passed her palms over his chest like she was sculpting him from memory. “You have such an amazingly hard body.”


“Some places are harder than others.”


“Show me.”


“It’s been awhile. This probably ain’t gonna last long.”


“Been awhile for me too, cowboy.” She whispered, “Kiss me. I love the way you kiss me. Like I’m the only thing in the world.”


“When I’m kissin’ you, sweetheart, you are the only thing in my world.”


Poised at the entrance to her body, he eased in as he took her mouth. He lost his mind in the glove-tight feeling of her * closing around his cock from tip to root.
