Her tongue circled the head of his arousal before her lips covered him and she sucked him into the hot recesses of her mouth. He felt himself losing control as she explored him, savored him, and pleasured him beyond his wildest dreams.
“No more,” he managed to say, just barely. He reached for her and pulled her up his body, keeping her lying on top of him, until they were lined up perfectly for him to thrust upward and join their bodies together.
Wrapping his hands in her hair, he brought her face to his and captured her lips, driving his tongue into her mouth the same way he was about to drive his manhood inside her core.
She squirmed on top of him, her body quivering with her own need, and he guided her thighs further apart with his knees. He reached down to her backside and drew her close so he could rub his arousal on the outside of her heat.
Pushing her upward so she was now in a sitting position, with her legs straddling his body, he watched entranced as the candlelight flickered over her incredible beauty. After running his fingers down her back until he reached her hips, he lifted her up so she was hovering over his arousal, and then he paused.
“Don’t close your eyes now,” he said as they began to drift shut. “Don’t shut me out of your desire. I want to watch you while you feel me slide inside you.”
Pushing his h*ps up at the same time as he pulled her body into him, he felt a rumble of pleasure emerge from his chest and travel up his throat when their bodies finally connected, when her heat surrounded him and she pulsed around him.
“Ohhhh….” She cried out, her eyes on fire, her body shaking.
Tanner couldn’t look away as he thrust upward. Kyla quickly caught on and began following his lead in their primitive rhythm, but by no means taking a passive role. They picked up speed, her beautiful br**sts bouncing, her skin gleaming.
Trying not to lose control, because he was afraid he might hurt her, Tanner did his damnedest to slow down, but she reached for his shoulders and moaned her disapproval, and then pushed down hard on him.
And he did lose it.
Gripping her h*ps tightly, he let go and thrust hard in and out of her beautiful heat. Their breathing was manic and their movements grew faster and faster, and then she tensed, and her core gripped him, and gripped him so tight. Her cry of joy and release rent the air. One more deep thrust into her body, and his cry joined hers as he spilled his seed deep inside her.
It was several moments before their breathing slowed and she fell against him, her br**sts soft and warm against his chest. He started kneading her back, his hands cupping her bottom and then going back up to her shoulders and back down again. She sighed against his neck, her hot breath making his body begin to stir once more while they were still joined together.
“I could make love to you all night and day,” he said. She was so amazing. This was all so amazing.
She murmured something against his chest and he stopped kneading so he could raise her head.
“What did you say, Kyla?”
“I said, ‘I’m game if you are,’” she told him with a shy smile.
That was all it took to waken him right back up. Keeping their bodies still fused, Tanner somehow flipped her over onto her back without letting their bodies disconnect, and after kissing her properly, he did his best to make love until the morning light.
They fell asleep when the candles burned out and they were both too exhausted to go on for a single minute more.
Chapter Nineteen
Kyla woke up, her limbs still entangled with Tanner’s and she looked over at the clock. Crap! She was late. It was Tanner’s day off from the mall, but not hers. Slowly climbing from the bed, she managed to free herself and rise without waking the man.
They’d made love twice in a row, then drifted off to sleep only to wake again and make more love. Her body was sore, but she could hardly call herself unpleased with the way she felt. When she felt a rush of heat drift over her, she broke out in a broad smile.
The power was back on. Hallelujah!
Grabbing her clothes, she threw them on and then made her way out to Tanner’s living room and on to the front door. She cracked it open, praying no one was there to see her do her walk of shame.
No, she wasn’t ashamed they’d made love. They were both consenting adults, but he was the first man she’d ever slept with without being in a relationship. That made her feel slightly uneasy.
But it had been great, and she refused to regret it, but she also didn’t want him to think that she would now have all of these expectations of him. How could she? She didn’t know a heck of a lot about the guy. As a matter of fact, she didn’t even know Tanner’s last name.
As she snuck into her apartment, that thought hit her full force. She’d just spent the night in bed with a man whose last name she didn’t know. What did that make her?
No. She wasn’t going to do this to herself. She couldn’t take it back, and even if she could, she didn’t want to. It had been nearly three years since she’d made love to a man, years since she’d allowed herself a night of pleasure, passion with no guilt, no shame. She wasn’t going to take that away from herself.
After a quick shower, Kyla dressed and then slipped from her apartment. She was late to work at the mall, and she really hoped she didn’t lose her job over it. Yes, this was just a temporary job, but the agency she worked for had a lot of temp jobs, and she wanted this to lead to another one. She couldn’t blow her chances, even as an elf. She didn’t get very many hours with her other position as a part-time waitress.
“Hello, Kyla. Is everything okay?”
Kyla stopped as she ran into Wayne, the security guard who gave her the creeps. She hated feeling that way about anyone at all, especially someone who was there to protect them here, but she just didn’t like the guy and she wanted to be as far from him as possible.
“Everything is fine,” she said uneasily. “I’m just running late for work.” She began moving forward again toward the front door of the building.
“You weren’t too frightened last night, were you, with the power outage?”
“Yes. To be honest, it did frighten me, but the power is back on, so there’s no more problem.” She gave a nervous laugh.
“I checked in on you, but you weren’t in your apartment last night.”
The way he said this sent chills down her spine. The sooner she could get out of here, the better. “That was very kind of you, Wayne, but there are people here who need to be checked on a lot more than I do.”
