He stirred. She stroked him and he grew harder. “Syd, you’re playing with fire.”
“Is that what you call it? Fire?” She winked at him. “I’d have thought you’d go with something more creative. Like My Monster or the One-Eyed Wonder.”
He laughed, more than amused. Who’d have thought sex could be so much fun? Being with Sydney just felt good.
“Well, One-Eyed Wonder has a nice ring. But how about something more intimate? Like Derrick Junior? That way he sounds like a real person.”
“He?” She stroked him, pumping his shaft with a small hand that felt like heaven.
“Yeah, he. He likes it when ladies kiss him. Long, slow licks are nice too.”
Sydney let him go as she stared at him. The laughter left her eyes, but not the desire. “We should probably move to the bedroom for this. Unless you brought more condoms?”
And there, no recrimination for being prepared. The woman amazed him.
“Nope. I only had one, and I was praying you’d let me use it.”
She snorted. “Praying my ass. You knew I wanted a go at you.”
“Just one?” He stepped closer and rubbed his cock along her belly. Then he leaned closer and took one of her nipples between his teeth. He nipped her, then sucked the sting out of it. “Come on, Syd. I’m good for three or four, at least.”
“Well, if you put it that way…”
Sydney couldn’t believe she’d let Derrick Warren fuck her against the door of her own home. Okay, so she’d been hot for him since the first time she’d heard him on the other end of the phone, but still. She normally would have held out until at least the third date. She did have standards to maintain.
But God, had she ever been the focus of so much lust before? Under his stare, she’d felt helpless, caught in a maelstrom of desire and need and sensation. Thoughts of refusal hadn’t existed. As embarrassed as she felt to admit it to herself, if he hadn’t produced a condom, she wouldn’t have had the presence of mind to demand he wear one.
Stupid, Syd. Real stupid.Though she took birth control to regulate her cycle—and yes, because she did like sex—she always mandated her partners use protection. In this day and age, you could never be too sure.
But Derrick… She wanted to feel him inside her, and that made no sense. So she ignored her irrational mind and focused on managing the here and now. Time to set rules. Better late than never.
She stood by her bed, conscious he had yet to take his gaze from her. She couldn’t help preening under his regard. Her weekly workouts were a bitch, but when they produced this kind of attention from a man, she recognized their value.
“Hold on, Derrick.”
“I knew it. It was too good to hope you’d just bend over and take me without a word.”
He held himself for her, huge and thick. Good God, but the man was hung. She wanted to blow him, badly. Normally she didn’t like that aspect of sex. She found it more intimate than kissing. But she wanted to know him that way, to see if she could get him as crazed as he’d made her earlier.
“I’ll bend over when I want to bend over,” she said, reminding him who was in charge as she ignored his sly smile. Challenge met and accepted. “I’m thirty years old. I date a lot, but I’m not a slut. And my partners wear a condom. Always.”
He nodded. “Fine. I’m thirty-six. I date a lot. And I always wear a condom with my partners. You never know.”
“Right.”
They stared at each other. His hard-on looked just as big as ever.
“I, ah, I’m on birth control too.”
“I just had my yearly physical last month. I’m clean. I haven’t been with anyone in months. Well, except for you.”
She blinked. “Months?”
“Yeah.” He didn’t look happy about the fact.
She was ecstatic about it and trying not to be. “I haven’t been with anyone for longer than that. I’m clean, totally.” Which he should have asked before he went down on her. Oh man, she wanted him to do that again.
“And tasty,” he added in a low voice, his gaze centered now between her legs. “Do you have any idea how sexy that thin strip of hair is? Or how incredible your tits are? So full and high, those nipples big and red. I want to suck them. I want to bite them.” He paused and looked into her eyes again, his bright with lust. “I want to fuck them.”
