STORY EXCERPT
“A woman doesn’t open doors when she’s with me.”
Mikayla turned her head slowly so their lips were a breath apart from each other. “Good thing I’m not with you then, isn’t it?” She jerked the door open, welcoming the blast of cold air as it hit her face, cooling the lust burning in her belly.
Gage followed her outside into the parking lot, walking beside her silently as she made her way to the large SUV. She hit the button on the key fob to open the doors and turned to face him, noting that he kept his body turned away from her to minimize her view of his scarred face.
He really was sinfully good looking. Playing around with this man was not a good idea, even if her libido told her differently. Roz had given her the warning for a reason, and until she knew more she would not be getting any closer to this man. She saw the lust burning in his eyes, but there was something else there that made her wary. Still, curiosity had her asking, “Why exactly are you out here with me?”
“There has been some trouble in this area. Haven’t you heard about it?”
Her interest was sparked. She leaned against the side of the SUV and cocked her head to the side. “What trouble?”
“Some women have gone missing in the neighboring towns and in Denver. You shouldn’t be out alone at night. It’s dangerous and you’re injured. Should you even be out? You could slip on the ice or something.”
Mikayla smiled. “Don’t worry. I can take care of myself.” She opened the car door and turned back when he spoke.
“Why did you say that inside, about my sister?”
Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you kidding?”
“No,” he said through gritted teeth. She couldn’t tell it if was due to anger or the cold. Either way, the question was ridiculous. She sighed.
Were some men seriously that clueless?
“You were completely disrespectful to her. I figured someone should call you out on it.”
Gage took a step forward, crowding her with his large body. A white cloud swirled out as he released a harsh breath into the night air. “You have no idea what you’re talking about. I love my sister,” he growled in anger.
“You may love her, but you don’t respect her very much. You ordered her home after she took your dog to the vet while you and friends played pool in the bar? Maybe you don’t know what thank you means, but that would have been a better way to start that conversation. Now, I will say thank you for the touch of chivalry, walking me out here, and for the warning. It was appreciated.” She opened the door to the vehicle and got inside, careful not to jar her leg. She stuck the key in the car and started it.
His eyes had narrowed as he frowned at her. Even with that sinister look on his face and the scars on one side, it didn’t detract from his dark appeal. “We aren’t through with this conversation.”
“We are for now.” Mikayla was surprised she didn’t burst into flames at the sudden flare of heat in his bright emerald-green eyes.
“Come home with me.”
She blinked in surprise.
“I want you,” Gage said, his voice a low, heated whisper. “If you agree, this wouldn’t be a date. I don’t date. This would be me fucking you until you come so hard you pass out. That’s it.”
Oh hell no, seriously?
Idiot.
Did he really think she was just going to drop her panties because he said that? Not that she was wearing any. Mikayla sighed loudly and fought back the urge to slam her head into the steering wheel. Why did shit like this always happen to her? It was a good thing she had firsthand knowledge of the irrational way men’s minds worked sometimes since she worked with a bunch of them daily, or else she might have to hurt him. Badly. “You’d have better luck with the blonde inside. Goodnight, Mr. Stark.”
“So you do know who I am.”
“Yes, I do. Which is more than I can say for you.” She started to close the door, but his large hand holding it stopped her.
“You can’t tell me you aren’t attracted to me. I see that you are. What’s your name?”
Mikayla sent him a mischievous smile. “Perhaps you should have started this particular conversation with that question. Goodnight.”
She shifted the SUV into gear and released the break just enough so the SUV pulled forward, jerking the door out of his grasp. She slammed the door closed and pulled into the street, watching as Gage grew smaller in her rearview mirror.
ADULT EXCERPT
“What are you doing?”
“What does it look like I’m doing?” Mikayla whispered as her hands slid down his chest, over his taut abs until they reached the front of his jeans.
His breath hissed out as she began working the top button of his jeans open while her other hand stroked over the rigid length of his cock through the thin material. “Jesus, Mikayla. This room doesn’t have a lock. We can’t do this here.”
Mikayla laughed at the incredulous look on his face as she drew the zipper of his jeans down, allowing the thick, hard length of his to spring free. She took his cock in her hand, pleased that her fingertips didn’t touch around his thick shaft. She nipped at his chin with her teeth as she began stroking his cock, rubbing the pearl of pre-cum weeping at the tip with her thumb.
“Don’t tell me the great Gage Stark is worried about someone seeing us.”
His eyes widened in surprise even as the lust flared brighter in his emerald green eyes. “You aren’t?”
Mikayla shrugged. “You started this. Now I’m aching and want you to finish it. Finish me, come on, Gage. I dare you.”
Fucking hell, she was trying to kill him.
Gage’s breath left in a rush. Christ, he felt like someone had sucker punched him. His body burned with a possessive fire as his mind snapped off, and he began pulling at her pants with shaking hands. Thank god for elastic, he thought gleefully as he shoved the black pants down her legs easily, remembering at the last moment to be careful of the bandage on her thigh.
Fuck him, he wanted to devour her, to eat her up with big greedy bites. And he would, but not here. Not now when anyone could walk in and see them. He’d be damned if he let anyone see his woman naked.
And she was his.
God help her, he was hers, too. She literally had him by the cock, and he felt like he would die if he didn’t pound himself inside her until neither of them could move. His cock was throbbing painfully, wanting to be inside the tight depths of her pussy again.
Gage gritted his teeth as he felt his cock harden in her tiny hand as all the blood in his head rushed down to his groin. His erection was heavy, thick and pulsing, and ready to fuck her until she begged him to stop.
He stepped back, groaning as she refused to release his cock. Instead, she tightened her grip on him as he quickly removed her pants from one of her legs so he could spread her wide. He looked down at her pussy on display for him, wanting to pound himself inside that little hole. Hell, the entire bar could walk in at that moment and he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from fucking her.
He grabbed her hips and slid her forward so she was sitting at the edge of the table. She wound her long legs around him again, pulling him closer. His hand slid down stroking his fingers down her slit, spreading her juices. She used her legs to pull him tighter against her.
“Wait, baby. I gotta get you ready for me.” Gage breathed out on a laugh. “Don’t you want any foreplay?”
“Fuck the foreplay. I want to feel you inside me again, Gage. I need it.”
Gage growled as he jerked her head back to once again feast on her mouth as she guided his cock into her hot, wet pussy. Breathing heavily, Mikayla moaned into his mouth as he slid forward, burying himself into her until the mushroomed head of his cock was tight against the entrance to her womb,
“God, you feel so good, baby. So tight and so fucking perfect. Your pussy hugs my cock like it was made to be inside you.” Gage’s voice was thick with lust. His bright-green eyes gleamed with a hunger he could barely control.
“Gage, I need you to…” Mikayla moaned.
“What, baby?” Gage growled. “Tell me what you need, and I’ll give it to you.”
Mikayla's eyes opened and narrowed on his face as she saw the tight clench of his jaw. He was making her crazy, and still he held on to the thin edge of his control. No, that wouldn’t do. If she had no control, then neither would he. She gripped his hair tight in her hand and bit down on his lower lip. “I need you to fuck me. Fuck me hard, Gage. Shove your big dick inside me and make me come.”
Fuck!
With no warning, Gage did exactly what she asked and began pumping hard into her, shoving his cock into her hot little hole, tearing a strangled scream from her throat that he muffled with his own mouth. He hummed low in his throat as he moved down, his teeth savaging her neck, nipping and lapped at the soft flesh there.
“Oh god,” Mikayla groaned, letting him know exactly what he was doing to her. “Gage, gimme more. Give it to me.”
Gage let out a vicious curse as his hips bucked, thrusting into her heat with startling force. Sweat dripped down his face as he continued to power into her. Her tight, wet pussy was gripping him so hard that he almost burst from the acute pleasure. Over and over he plunged into her tight, hot hole like a man insane, driven mad by his need for her.
Their mouths met again as he pounded his full length into her, stretching her tight hole around his invading flesh. He moved his hand to stroke his thumb over the hard crest of her clit, making her cry out in pleasure. His hips jerked back then forward again, reveling in the sounds she made as he fucked her. Riding her hard, he roughly shoved through her tight folds as pleasure streaked through his system, making him race to the finish, wanting, needing her with him when he came.
“Son of a…fuck!” Mikayla cried out as she came.
Gage watched the pleasure take her, watched her violet eyes go opaque and thought he’d never seen anything as beautiful in his entire life. He had to fight the urge to spill himself inside her at the feeling of her clenched around him.
And damn it, he needed to feel it again.
“Come again, Mikayla. Come for me again,” Gage commanded.
He desperately wanted to feel her come again, and that need drove him to fuck into her faster, harder. He needed to see that look of pure pleasure on her face again. A look that he put there. Her cries drove him insane, the bite of her nails gripping his biceps through his shirt made him ache to feel her hands on his flesh with nothing between them. Reaching down, he gripped her hip hard, holding her steady for his brutal thrusts, pushing them both toward the ecstasy that awaited them.
Mikayla levered up, legs wrapped tight around his hips, and bit down hard into his neck to still her cry of his name as she came again. Her tight channel gripped him hard with the force of her orgasm, milking him until he could no longer hold back.
“Mikayla! Baby!” Gage threw his head back, letting out the guttural yell as he shoved deep, his hard cock erupting, jetting his hot seed deep inside her. He wrapped his arms around her, holding tight to her as everything he was seemed to shatter.
Gage’s body slumped again her, his breathing heavy, but still he couldn’t seem to let go.
Son of a bitch, she was going to kill him.
