“I want you again, too,” she whispered. “I want you to take me every way possible. I want to belong to you completely.”
“You already do.” He seemed surprised the words slipped out. “Don’t you?”
“Yes.”
She arched back. Her pussy was open and exposed to his hot gaze. “I have to taste you. Get on your knees and hold on to the edge of the tub.”
She moved. Her fingers gripped the cold, white marble as she knelt on her knees. Her flesh quivered as the cool air rushed over her flesh. She felt his hard hands part her legs and urge her forward so her buttocks rose in the air, awaiting his next move.
Hailey felt his gaze on the curve of her buttocks; the hot pink of her cleft. He leaned over her and blew gently, and she jerked back in response, a half moan caught on her lips.
He lowered his head, and his teeth bit into her firm cheeks, testing her. He moved inward, squeezing, cupping, while his tongue snaked out to take quick, sharp licks. She wiggled helplessly against him but he only laughed and drew out the anticipation. The tip of his tongue slid into her pussy and licked with slow strokes. Her swollen flesh became sensitive to every stroke, and then he flicked his tongue against her over and over with hard, quick motions. Hailey cried out, but he still held back. His fingers pushed the firm globes of her flesh apart so he tasted all of her. His hot tongue teased her throbbing clit again, and again, until…
She came hard, pushing back with a cry. He grabbed her hips, dragged her up, and thrust inside her..
Heat.
Fullness.
Possession.
The convulsions seized her body and ripped through her. Caught in a whirlwind, she was helpless to do anything but ride out the wild wave of pleasure.
He fucked her with a savagery that claimed her as his. She took every inch of him, pussy tight and hot as he pushed even deeper, and she met him all the way, her body arched like a bow, quickening in response to his fierce thrusts. Water slapped over the tub in gentle waves. Bubbles floated through the air. And then her orgasm took hold like a savage fist that scooped her up and hurtled her toward the stars.
This time when he held her, Hailey didn’t allow herself to think of tomorrow. She lay her head on his damp, muscled chest, spent for now, and wrapped her arms around him. His heart pounded in a steady rhythm against her ear.
The clock ticked. She roused herself enough to speak, still greedy to learn everything she could about the man in her arms. “What were you like as a boy, Phantom?”
“More secrets?”
Hailey smiled against him as she heard the teasing note in his voice. “I want to know a little bit about you. As a man, you certainly know how to give a woman pleasure. Tell me about the boy.”
He was silent for a few moments, but she waited, sensing he was ready to open up.
“I grew up very poor,” he said. “My father ran out on my mother when I was seven. He found a local girl with no complications and they took off. That was the last time I heard from him. I was almost glad to see him go. Even at seven, I remember him yelling at my mother, hitting me occasionally. Telling me I was useless.”
She kept her voice low and soothing, even though her heart squeezed in pain. “What did your mother do to support you?”
“Waitressed. Cleaned up after people in hotels. Anything to keep food on the table. I helped as much as I could, but it was years before I could earn any decent money.”
She felt the coldness within him envelop the man who had shared the last three nights with her; the man who had laughed and teased and held her close. She held him tighter as if her body warmth could ward off the chill. “What did you like as a boy?”
“Things I could fix. Things I could control. Math, science, cars, computers.”
“What business did you decide to embark on?
“Computers. One of my mother’s boyfriends was decent to her, and loved to fool around on a laptop. He taught me a few things and something clicked.”
“What?”
“I could finally control something. A computer has no emotions, and does what it’s told. I decided I would learn everything. Coding. Hacking. Anything that can be done was a challenge for me.” He shifted in the water and his hand played with the wet strands of her hair. “Eventually, I found a job at a computer firm and worked my way up. Just like you, I took my opportunity and made the most of it.”
“Do you ever think about your father?”
“No.”
She picked up her head and gazed into his eyes. The gleaming white mask covered half of his face, but the burning light in his eyes confirmed he was a liar. Hailey stroked his hard cheek, traced the full line of his lower lip, then cradled his jaw. Tenderness bloomed within her.
