King took a step forward, and then another and another, forcing her back until her back was plastered against the wall in the hallway, trapped in a darkened area just out of reach of the wall sconces providing a dim glow. King planted a hand on either side of her head, bending down so that he was face-to-face with her. “What about lastnight?”
“That too,” she said in a trembling, breathlessvoice.
He pressed his body against hers, the obvious evidence of his arousal digging into her stomach. “I can’t get enough of you,” came his deepresponse.
Chill bumps raced across her flesh, tightening her nipples painfully. They were sensitive from where he’d suckled sohard.
His dark gaze deepened and she recognized the intense look for what it was—hot wanton desire. Her knees were weak. She grabbed onto his solid biceps for support, biting her lip to keep from kissing him right there in thehallway.
He made a low sound in the back of his throat and then said, “If you don’t stop biting that lip, I’m gonna haul your ass back to mybedroom.”
She felt her eyes widen, and then the heat settled low in her belly at the thought. She gave a shaky laugh, attempted to push him away but only ended up arching againsthim.
“Laura, I’m warning you, I’ve only got so much control.” He leaned in and nipped at herearlobe.
Her knees did buckle, and if it wasn’t for King holding her up she would’ve hit the floor. Every cell in her body wanted him. Last night should’ve helped quench her need; instead it only made it grow stronger. He’d been so open, so vulnerable, and yet so strong and in control at the same time. She’d never felt so connected before. Forgetting everything but King, she returned the favor, bit gently on his neck and said, “That’s me wanting youtoo.”
His obsidian gaze turned black. Without a word, King grabbed her hand, pulled her across the hall, poked his head into the doorway where Faith danced, and yelled to Diggs, “You got this for aminute?”
He grinned and gave them a thumbs up. Audra was closer to Faith, clapping and cheering her on. Before Laura could argue, King dragged her down the hall and around the corner into his bedroom, slamming the door behind him. Then he was pushing her against the closed door, pulling the thin straps of her dress down to expose her sensitivebreasts.
Desire raced through her veins, and stole the air from her lungs. He lifted her with one arm, taking her nipple in his mouth fully, suckling hard. The gentleness from last night was nowhere to be found, instead he was aggressive, taking—not asking. Laura was lost to his possessive touch. She needed him.Now.
She yanked on his hair, attempting to pull him closer. With a rough growl, he yanked up her dress and dipped inside her panties. Rough, calloused fingers teased her sensitive clit mercilessly, leaving her squirming and wet. “Now, King.Please.”
If he didn’t take her, she was going to lose hermind.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” he muttered against her flesh, nipping and suckingruthlessly.
She wasn’t gentle when she pulled his head back, or when she took his mouth. He allowed her that control for a few seconds, and then he had her pinned against the door once more, shoving her panties down. She reached for his pants, wanting to feel him too. The loose band at his waist slid down and she wrapped her fingers around his thick, throbbing length. He groaned and a heady sense of power filledher.
“God, woman, you’re driving mecrazy.”
His words urged her on and she moved her hand up and down his length, loving the feel of his velvet-encased steel. He hissed in a breath, letting his head fall back as she worked him. A bead of moisture gathered at the tip of his wide, flat head and her mouth watered. She wanted to give him the same pleasure he’d given her. Slowly she worked her way across his chest, butterfly kisses around his still healing cuts. His stomach rose and fell sharply, his rock-hard abs beautifully outlined beneath his tautskin.
She reached his belly button, flipped around the edges and then placed a featherlike kiss on the tip of hiscock.
He hissed and buried his fingers in her hair. “Laura.Christ.”
The raw need in his voice urged her on and she parted her lips, his wide hard length stretching her mouth. He groaned again when she eased her hand down to the base, her mouth following in its tracks. With her other hand she cupped his balls, testing their heavy weight, she gently tickled the hotskin.
She sucked firmly down his length, taking him as far as she could before backing off, teasing his sensitive tip with her tongue. She could feel his muscles jumping beneath her hands, and drove herself harder, determined to drive him wild. She moaned, low and deep and took him all the way to the back of her throat. His hips bucked in response and she firmed up her grip, taking him with the same ferocious need that she felt running through herbody.
His hands tightened in her hair, and suddenly he was pulling her off of him, lifting her high in the air he pinned her against the door, lined up his cock at her entrance and slammed into her with one long, hard thrust. He stretched her. He filled her to the breaking point. She cried out at the abrupt fullness, the unimaginable pleasure of having him buried so deep inside her. Her blood pounded in her ears, racing through her body as she clenched around him, her sensitive and swollen core throbbing. His fingers dug into her hips, holding her there, pinned between him and the hard wood. “I’m not going to take it easy this time.” He said at herear.
“Good,” she gasped. She wanted him hard and fast. She wanted his possession and hiscontrol.
He pulled out and then thrust back in, dragging the slick link across her weeping folds. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders as best she could and held on as he rammed into her, driving her to the brink of orgasm. She bit her lip, holding back the scream. She felt surrounded by him, enveloped by his heat. She was burning alive. Her body was on fire. Unable to keep silent, she whispered raggedly, “Please, King.Please”
He growled, low in his throat, and pushed in faster and harder. Laura climbed higher and higher. She couldn’t hold off any longer. Knowing she was about to lose control completely and scream, she buried her face against his neck and bit down on his shoulder, the razor-sharp orgasm bursting inside her. Stealing her thoughts. Speeding through her body. She clenched. She shuddered. She lost all awareness of where she was. Her only solid anchor was King insideher.
She was distantly aware of him continuing to thrust, and then he yanked her down hard and she felt him release inside her. His cock swelling, stretching her even more. And then he was feathering light kisses across her face, her neck, holding her up with his strong callousedhands.
She’d never felt so surrounded. Soprotected.
So inlove.
