“Ahhh. Ulterior motive.” He lifted his hands from Amber’s body and cradled the back of his head. “I’m all yours, lady.”
He enjoyed her love of playing games in the bedroom. Lovemaking with her was so much more personal, always engaging him in more than the physical act, a union of both mind and body. He’d never had a partner who enjoyed giving him pleasure like she did.
“Good, now lie still while I lick you all over.”
“Oh, please, not that again.” He shuddered in mock horror. “All that wet tongue, doing all that licking.”
She pushed up, sitting on him. Her hands tiptoed up his chest, sending little shivers wherever she touched. “You know, it’d be more believable if I didn’t have this thing sticking up against my behind when you say that.” She reached behind her, giving him a long stroke that had him clenching his haunches in pleasure. “Maybe I won’t lick you all over. Maybe I’ll just lick you there.”
Minx. She knew it turned him on when she talked dirty to him. “There?” He widened his eyes mockingly. “You mean…? Surely you can’t do that!”
Her hand moved leisurely. Up and down. It took all of Hawk’s control to force his hands to stay where they were, to appear nonchalant, and to talk at the same time. He watched as Amber got on her knees and swiveled around so her back faced him. He couldn’t see what she was doing, and that made him even more excited.
“You sound like you don’t like this,” she chided.
She was now using both her hands on him, somehow massaging him in two directions at the same time. Hawk closed his eyes, trying to visualize what she was doing. The way she wrapped one hand and stroked upward over the head of his penis while pulling down had the effect of upping the pleasure quotient to an intense level. She moved again. He opened his eyes. She was up on her knees again, her sweet little ass curving toward him. Holy…He laced his fingers tightly behind his head. She leaned forward, her ass teasing him. He was going to break the bones in his knuckles.
And all the while she took her own sweet time. He couldn’t see the back of her head anymore. What was she doing, taking so damn long?
He must have made a sound. “What did you say?” she asked.
Her breath fanned the top of his arousal. That was even worse. Now he knew how close her mouth was to where he wanted it to be. “Not…h…ing,” he managed.
“Are you sure?” she asked, her lips against his rock-hard arousal. “I could have sworn I heard you say something.” He strained upward, trying to get into her mouth. She tsked-tsked. “Now, now, you said you wouldn’t move.”
So a SEAL cheated sometimes. Hawk parted his legs, which made her knees part, too. Out of balance, she fell forward the few required inches and he felt sweet wet heat suddenly gloving the head of his penis. Oh yes, thank you. He grunted with satisfaction.
He almost came when she tightened her grasp. Her tongue tantalized him, rolling around and around, until every muscle in his legs felt like Jell-O. He wanted to sit up. Needed to see her taking him in his mouth. He loosened his hands and was about to reach for her when her ass swayed a little as she started to get down to business and he could only stare helplessly at that sexy ass, imagining himself standing behind her.
He slid a hand between her parted legs. She was deliciously wet. He heard her gurgle of pleasure as he probed and stroked her. Her mouth started to follow his hand, stroke for stroke, until they were both moaning. He felt her trembling, slid a finger deep inside her, and felt the first wave of her orgasm hitting her. His whole being quivered like a readied arrow pulled on a bow. She tightened around his finger and her mouth suddenly took all of him even as he endeavored to keep pleasuring her.
She shuddered and her sweet release wet his hand, robbing him of the last shred of control. All sensation rushed at top speed as he let go, his own orgasm hurtling him at top speed heavenward. Her mews of pleasure were even more erotic because he was still in her mouth. Everything zeroed in on that connection. He came long and hard and her tongue prolonged it, swirling the whole length of him. He groaned. Managed to glide his finger out and up over her nub. She groaned, her mouth still refusing to let him go.
“Baby. Yeah. Like…that. All of it.”
And he gave her everything he had.
When she could move again, she flopped down next to him. “You aren’t obedient,” she complained weakly. “Talk, talk, talk.”
It took him a few minutes before Hawk’s brain could process an answer. “You said don’t move, not don’t talk,” he said. When Amber turned her head and went for his nipple ring again, twirling her tongue languidly, he laughed and added, “I promise to be better next round.”
He kept his promise and when he got up much, much later, he kissed her as she enjoyed the sleep of a satiated woman, smiling as she reached for him still. He looked down at her for a long moment, and then left the small gold nipple ring in her hand.

Lily crushed the half-smoked cigarette,leaning back against the windshield of her car. Everything was falling apart. Time to discard everything. Why couldn’t it remain the same?
She looked up at the night sky. It was so silent out here it made her heart ache. How many times had she stared up and made a wish? Wishes that hadn’t come true. How many times had she sat in the stillness of the night just talking to herself? Alone again. She didn’t mind. She worked better alone, anyway. She didn’t need anybody. Life had always been that way and she had accepted a long time ago that she could do without, as long as she was in control.
She wasn’t happy with the way things were turning out, anyway. She didn’t like these feelings she had about Brad. She didn’t want to think of Amber with him; somehow it angered her. It really shouldn’t. She didn’t care. Maybe he went to her that night and it was just a onetime thing, since Amber was now spending time with Hawk. She shook her head. She didn’t care.
They could all go to hell. All she cared was to make sure the girls were all right, that they were safely out of harm’s way. Dilaver was no dummy. He would find out about Amber sooner or later and then he’d be after her girls. No way was she going to let that happen.
Things fall apart.So she had to work alone again, formulate a new plan. She had done it before, reinventing herself, moving on from old to new. It was easy.
Lily sighed. She couldn’t understand why she felt so hurt inside. She had shut down the emotions that had gotten in the way of life before. It was easier. Feelings only made life painfully unbearable.
She thought of Bradford Sun sitting there looking at her with those accusing eyes. She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for weeks. All she had to do was close her eyes and she could feel the wavy thickness of his hair as she mussed it up, the way he tasted, the way…She jerked up from her comfortable position. Stop, stop, stop. Why couldn’t she stop all this nonsense?
