Last Kiss Part 2

He slipped his hand under her arm and her dress loosened as he released the hidden zipper. Her bodice sagged to reveal her strapless blue lace bra and she heard his breath catch.

Alexei sank to his knees once more, pressing forward between her legs. He placed a kiss between her exposed mounds before taking her dress into his hands. Silent, he urged her hips up to allow him to remove the garment. She leaned back, arching her hips to allow him to slide the dress off her body.

aChrist, woman.a His jaw closed with an audible click when he saw the barely-there matching thong. aYouare going to kill me.

Hidden beneath her mask, Elaine felt bold as she reached for him. aYouall die a happy man,a she murmured.

She tangled her fingers in his hair as he kissed her just above her belly b.u.t.ton, curling her toes as his tongue dipped inside. He reached for her hands, twining their fingers as he pushed her back on the bed. Soft kisses trailed heat to her mons where he nuzzled the blue lace and soft curls contained there.

aAlexei?a her voice trembled.

His grip tightened urging her to slide toward him, spreading her thighs to accommodate the width of his shoulders as she bared herself to his touch. He nuzzled the thin material of her panties aside and, with the first swipe of his tongue, sent fire through her blood. As he settled in to suckle her tight bead of sensitive flesh, she bit her lip to prevent herself from crying out at the delicious sensations he was creating. Heat raged through her body as the tension built beneath his mouth.

She made a sound of protest when he stopped and raised his head, their gazes clas.h.i.+ng.

aSing for me,a he said. aI want to hear your pleasure.a He lowered his head once more and she dropped back to the bed. As he teased her sensitized flesh, soft moans poured from her lips. Vaguely, she was aware of the animal sounds but paid them no mind. He wanted to hear her, to let him experience what his touch did to her.

He released her left hand, sliding down to tease at her nether lips before inserting one thick finger into her tight channel. She arched her hips as he filled her with a second finger, his tongue never losing its persuasive rhythm.

Tension pooled low in her gut as Alexei stroked her needy flesh, her cries increasing in volume. Her breath caught as her world exploded into spasms of delight against his mouth. Deep and convulsive, stars showered against her closed eyelids as release raged through her body. It seemed to go on and on until, finally, their intensity lessened and she sagged against the bed, her breathing ragged.

She was vaguely aware of Alexei as he rose from the floor. She heard the sound of a drawer sliding then he stalked around the bed. He opened and shut another drawer, muttering under his breath as he did so.

Feeling as if she were drugged with pleasure, she forced her eyes open to see him standing at the foot of the bed, a frustrated expression on his face.

aWhatas wrong?a aNo condoms.a She gaped at him. aYou donat have any in your room?a aNo, I checked earlier.a She blinked, then began to laugh.

aI donat think itas very funny,a he growled.

aI donat either.a She bit her lip until her merriment was contained before she continued. aI was thinking that I have an entire drawer of s.e.xual hardware in the bathroom and not one condom to be found. Talk about lack of planning.a She burst into laughter.

He moved around the bed to stand between her spread thighs. aThis lack of planning will kill me.a aSo you keep saying.a She sat up and grabbed his pants, her fingers dipping into the waistband mere inches from his thrusting erection. She pulled him down, fully clothed, to cover her, raising her legs to cradle him. He moaned and gave an involuntary thrust, his c.o.c.k grinding against her sensitized core.

aNot the optimum answer, but it will do in a pinch,a she panted.

He caught her mouth in a searing kiss as her fingers captured his hips, guiding him into the perfect rhythm. She twined her legs around his hips, giving herself up to the sensations he aroused in her.

She came again, hard. Fast.

He paused only long enough for her to catch her breath before he started again, his thrusts hard and short. Urgency raced along her skin and, within seconds, she peaked for a third time, her cry thin and high. Her eyes closed as a myriad of sensations poured through her body.

aCan you take more?a His strained voice sounded harsh in her ear.

She blinked, seeing his face, only a shadow, so close to hers. His tone told her he was in agony. Shead been multi-o.r.g.a.s.mic for as long as she could remember, she usually outlasted her male partners every time. But shead never seen a man last as long as Alexei did.

She released her grip on him and snaked her hands between their bodies. The front of his pants were damp from her arousal and she unzipped them, eliciting a strangled groan from him as he angled up, allowing her to free him.

His breath hissed through his teeth as she stroked his impressive erection from root to tip. Silk over steel, she marveled over the size she felt but couldnat see. He thrust against her hands, gentle involuntary movements she knew he couldnat prevent.

She cupped the head, running her fingers along the sensitive underside of his c.o.c.k, glorying in the mix of ecstasy and pain that sounded in his groans. Was she hurting him? Was he so sensitive she was causing him pain? She repeated her movement and he growled deep in his throat as he thrust against her hands, harder this time.

aAlexei,a she whispered. aDo you like this?a She cupped his b.a.l.l.s with one hand, her other tracing a ring around his tender tip.

aYes,a he panted.

aAlexei. Come for me.a His breathing grew ragged as her fingers curled around his shaft. A sound of near-pain escaped his mouth and she reluctantly released him. He lowered himself against her lower belly, sealing his steel between them as he began thrusting.

Once...

Twicea A cry dragged from his soul as he came. Warmth gushed over her skin where their bellies pressed together. Glorying in the sensation of his release, she slid her arms around his shoulders as he sank against her, his breath hot against her neck as he trembled with the force of his release. The scent of warm male and shared s.e.x perfumed the air and she released a l.u.s.ty sigh. She was replete.

aIall supply the condoms tomorrow.a He pressed a lazy kiss to her neck.

aMmm, today. Itas already tomorrow.a aOkay, today.a aA big box,a she prompted.

He gave a half-hearted nip at her throat. aA huge box.a She grinned as a thrill of possession ran through her. Relaxed, she stretched her legs out, stifling a laugh when she realized they hadnat taken time to remove her stockings or her bra.

Next timea

Chapter 4.

She was wearing his gift.

Alexei watched Elaine as she chatted with two tall blonde women, twins he suspected, each dressed as l.u.s.ty barmaids, exposing more skin than was covered by their clothing. Elaine had a gla.s.s of champagne in one hand and a huge smile on her face, her green eyes sparkling from behind her burgundy half mask.

The rich wine-colored silk of her full skirt licked the top of her black leather b.u.t.ton-up boots. As she turned to wave at Dirk, Alexei caught a glimpse of her white, lace-trimmed petticoats. The black velvet corset made her waist look impossibly tiny while pus.h.i.+ng her normally adequate cleavage into bountiful proportions.

He licked his lips as he took her in shoulders, clad in fine white linen. Shead added the s.h.i.+rt under the corset to cover some of her exposed skin, no doubt. He wasnat disappointed. If anything, her modesty only added to her allure. A narrow band of onyx stones encircled her throat and shead tossed a brightly colored scarf over her arms to cross the middle of her back With this gift of the clothing, she looked like the beautiful Russian gypsy he remembered. He closed his eyes and entertained an image of Elaine dancing under a full moon, her feet bare, her hair tangled with wildflowers.

Tonight was the night to find out for sure if she was the one, and to do this he had to strip the outfit off her body. He opened his eyes, his gaze fastening on her. It was a tough job, but he was just the man to do it.

Elaineas breath caught in her throat as she saw Alexei make his way toward her. Tight black leather pants clung to every inch of his legs, accentuating his muscles as he moved. A long-sleeved, oversized royal blue s.h.i.+rt fluttered as he moved, the chest open, leaving his rippled stomach in view. Around his slim waist, head tied a burgundy silk scarf that matched her skirt. Tucked into that was a jeweled dagger.

He looked dangerous, and he was all hers.

She tightened her thighs as a spurt of warmth sprang to life. Tonight was the nighta aOh my, I just have to sample that oneaa With a swish of her tan skirts, Sabrina, one of twins walked toward Alexei, an exaggerated swing to her walk. She s.h.i.+fted her shoulder, allowing her blouse to slide off, revealing pale skin. aWell, h.e.l.lo there.a Alexei gave her an abbreviated nod and stepped around the predatory blonde. Elaineas breath left in a rush as he curled an arm around her waist and hauled her into his arms. His mouth descended and he took her in a kiss that was powerful and earthy at the same time.

She leaned into him, sliding her arms around his shoulders as he insinuated a strong thigh between hers, pressing against the damp apex of her thighs. She squirmed to get closer, anything to appease the ache of need he alone kindled.

aI missed you,a he growled.

A laugh bubbled in her throat. aAnd I, you.a aCome.a He glanced around the outdoor party before meeting her gaze. aLet us find someplace quiet.a She nodded and, together, they turned and arm in arm, walked toward the doors and the gardens outside.

aDid you see that?a Sabrina said in a mock-stage whisper.

aI most certainly did,a her twin Serena said, the laughter evidence in her voice. aYou, my dear, were just kicked to the curb.a Elaineas grip tightened on Alexeias waist. Head claimed her in front of the entire a.s.semblage. She considered herself a liberated, modern woman, but there was something to be said for caveman tactics and she couldnat deny the thrill that possessed her as he kissed her.

The sounds of the party faded as they entered the formal gardens. Tiki torches were positioned at regular intervals along the path, lighting the way through the darkness. The scent of night blooming jasmine and lavender swirled about her head as he led her toward the small gazebo in the center of the garden.

Her heart thudded painfully in her chest as he drew her into the shadowed interior and into his arms. His mouth was soft, warm as he kissed her. His touch tender, wors.h.i.+pful. Gone was the man staking a public claim. Here was Alexei, simply a man.

Her hands stole about his waist as he kissed her, seduced her senses and sent her mind twirling into oblivion. He nibbled her mouth as he removed her shawl to stroke her shoulders through the linen.

He broke the kiss and leaned his forehead against hers. aI want you,a he breathed.

aYou can have me.a She pressed a kiss on his chin, noting that head shaved recently.

A shudder ran through him and he kissed the edge of her jaw before leaning down to nibble on her neck. Nimble fingers ran along the edge of her exposed bosom. aYou look lovely,a he mumbled against her flesh.

aI think itas false advertising.a He gave a startled laugh, then gave her a hug. aThere is nothing false about you, my dear.a

Oh, I wouldnat be so sure about thata

Elaine pushed the intrusive thought away as she curled her fingers in his s.h.i.+rtfront to pull him into a kiss that was sensual. He was fully aroused, his erection strained against her belly. She was hungry for him, aching and empty. A gush of warm wetness between her thighs had her straining upward so that she could cradle his hardness where she needed him so badly. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s grew taut, her nipples hard, her skin slick with need.

Alexei backed her against one of the gazebo supports, pinning her against the column with his big body. He broke the kiss, his breathing harsh as he leaned into her. Catching her thigh, he lifted her leg, hooking it over his hip. Her breath left her in a rush as he thrust against her mons, sending a rush of heat straight to her toes.

aI can smell your arousal,a he breathed.

She moaned as he dipped his fingers into her corset, teasing her nipples with his fingernails. His scent swirled about her head, hot and musky, blending with the perfumes from the garden blooms.

aAnd I can smell yours.a She nipped his jaw.

He growled, thwarted from touching her by her tight-fitting corset. aI need this off.a She gave a throaty chuckle. aThat may take a while.a aNo, it wonat.a He withdrew the knife from his waistband.

She tensed, relaxing only when he examined the laces of the corset. aYouall ruin it.a aIall buy you a dozen more just like it.a Elaine was amazed at the speed with which he handled the knife. Within a few seconds, head cut the laces in the back and the corset fell away, her once-mountainous bosom resuming its former position. Already she missed her abundant cleavage.

Stripping the linen aside, he cupped his hands over her b.r.e.a.s.t.s as she sighed with delight. He wrapped an arm around her backside and lifted her higher, his mouth hungry on her exposed skin. He sucked at her flesh, her fingers curling in his hair, holding him tightly to her as wave after wave of sensation rocketed through her.

Abruptly, he released her and set her on her feet. She leaned against the column, barely able to stand, her senses in turmoil. She watched with drugged eyes as he tore his pants open and released his turgid staff. In the dimness of the gazebo, she couldnat see him well. He was but a shade among the shadows. But she knew his proportions well as shead dreamed of him while sleeping. She heard the tear of foil and the soft snap of latex, then he reached for her again, twining her skirt in his fist.

He tore her panties from her unresisting body before he picked her up, resuming their former position. She arched her hips, his fingers moving over her damp flesh until he found her opening, then he sank one finger deep. She moaned, her hips moving against his invasion. She shuddered, her fingers digging into his hair as he stroked, preparing her for his entry. When he could stand no more, he removed his hand and replaced it with the broad head of his erection.

She moaned as he pushed into her, stretching her heated flesh with his. With slow, stroking motions, he entered her, each motion taking him deeper than the last. She moaned, pressing against him, wanting him deeper, yet fearing she wouldnat be able to take him. To her amazement, he sank deep, his breathing harsh in her ear.

His grip tightened on her hips, arching her to take his thrust as he began to move. She was open, vulnerable as he pressed into her. The inexorable rush of desire swept over her, her body straining against his as a low cry built with the tension in her body.

Then a shudder swept her body as her o.r.g.a.s.m burst through her. It was so strong that reality faded away and there was only Alexei and herself. On and on she spasmed until she triggered his release as well. Head thrown back, a cry burst from his mouth, his grip punis.h.i.+ng on her hips as they traveled to the heavens together.

aWeare missing the party.a Alexei watched as his woman took a bite from a slice of fresh peach. A single drop of juice glistened on her lip and he fought the urge to lick the sweetness from her skin. Instead, he propped his head on his hand, comfortable in her s.p.a.cious bed.

aAre you sorry youare missing it?a Elaine licked her lips and shook her head. aNot a bit.a She selected a ripe strawberry from the bowl of fruit. aAre you?a aNot in the slightest.a He smiled. aIad much rather be here with you.a A soft blush stole across her cheeks as she chewed. Theyad removed their masks hours ago and he couldnat stop staring at her. The golden glow of candles scattered around the room made her skin appear golden. Her hair was unbound, the thick sable locks below her shoulders in waves of silk. Her deep green eyes were dark and surrounded by thick lashes. Her mouth was full, her lower lip soft from his kisses.

She wore a silk robe while he remained bare to her gaze. Head been sorry shead elected to don the garment but he didnat want to push her. Soon enough, shead feel comfortable to remain nude with him and he was a patient man.

aYouare staring again,a she said.

aI canat help it, youare beautiful.a She dipped another berry into a bowl of whipped cream. aNo, Iam not.a She licked the white blob with tiny cat-like motions.

His groin tightened as he thought about her licking him the same way. aWhy do women always say that?a She dipped her berry in the cream once more. aI donat know why other woman say it.a She shrugged. aI am what I am. I canat take responsibility for genetics.a aIs your mother beautiful?a aWas. She was very beautiful.a Elaine licked the berry clean before taking a small bite. aShe was a singer and she met my father on Broadway. Oh, the scandal of it allaa Her eyes gleamed with amus.e.m.e.nt aDo tell.a He wanted to know everything about her. Her past, her lovers, her family, her dreams as a child, her favorite color and what delights her future held.

aMy mother was Rachel White and her stage name was Rachel Martin. She was a chorus girl in New York in the late fifties. She worked hard and was finally awarded a part in Fiddler on the Roof. It was during this stage production that she met my father.a She tossed the stem on the tray, her nose crinkling in his direction. aAre you sure I wonat bore you with this?a He shook his head. aPlease, continue.a aMy father was the heir to a bread fortune or a fortune in bread, depending upon how you want to look at it. Youave heard of Downing Mills?a He hadnat, but he nodded in agreement anyway.

aHe was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. He and some college friends escaped from their dorm rooms and came into the city. He took one look at Rachel and that was it. He fell madly in love and set out to possess her.a She selected another berry. aHe sent her flowers, gifts, came to see her every weekend and they called each other every other day. They were married eight months after meeting.a aWere they happy?a She turned the fruit over in her hands, her expression thoughtful. aWhatas happy? They had one childa"me. They lived a life of wealth and privilege, but my mother never forgot where she came from. My fatheras family looked down on her for being an actress and I think that bothered her a lot.a She shrugged. aShe loved my father and she loved me. But I always had the impression she felt she was missing something in her life. Maybe she should have continued with her acting? She talked about doing some small roles, but never got the chance. She was killed when I was thirteen.a He brushed his fingers over her knee. aIam sorry.a She tossed the berry onto the tray untouched. aIt seems like a lifetime ago.a aDoesnat lessen the pain any. What happened to your father?a aHe remarried and has a new family. Three girls and a boy.a He stroked the tender skin of her inner knee as he spoke. aDo you see them?a aSeveral times a year. Father moved them to California, said he couldnat stay in New York any longer. There were too many memories on every corner.a aWhat happened to little Elaine?a The smile she gave him threatened to curl his toes. aLittle Elaine grew up to become devastatingly beautiful.a She rose to her knees and moved closer. aShe became a legend with scads of handsome loversaa She rolled him onto his back and slipped her leg over his, seating herself across his thighs. aAll of whom she casta"a She dipped her head and pressed kisses to his chest as she spoke aa"aside, one by one.a He chuckled and laid his hands over her knees. aIs that so?a She raised her head and gave him a devilish grin. aMmm, until now, at least.a aThatas rea.s.suring.a He stretched to give her better access as she nibbled her way south. His breath caught as her hair brushed his groin.

There was something almost painfully erotic about watching a woman pleasure her man. His eyes narrowed as she nipped the sensitive area just below his belly b.u.t.ton. Her fingers curled around his c.o.c.k and his eyes almost crossed with the power of l.u.s.t. He murmured his acceptance and his eyes slid closed, giving himself over to her magic touch.

Her tongue rimmed his sensitive head and he fought the urge to lunge for her when she stroked a particularly sensitive spot. Sensation curled in his stomach as she licked his c.o.c.k, her touch soft yet a.s.sured.

She paused, then something cool touched him and his eyes flew open.

Elaine held the bowl of whipped cream and was liberally coating the head of his c.o.c.k with the mixture. Once covered, she put the bowl back. After licking her fingers clean, she picked up the bowl of chocolate syrup. Dipping her fingers, she then drizzled the liquid over the tower of white, laughing as his c.o.c.k twitched, threatening to topple its white covering.

aAre you quite through?a he asked, amused in spite of himself.

aNot yet.a She licked her fingers clean again and reached for the bowl of fruit, extracting a cherry. She placed it on top where it wobbled precariously. aNow Iam done.a She shot him a heated smile. aI guess dessert is on you this time around.a She lowered her head.

aTake your robe off,a he said.

Her brow rose, her gaze heated as she tugged the silk tie and the material slid open to reveal her body. Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were firm and high, her skin creamy pale and the small raspberry-colored heart-shaped birthmark stood in relief against her pale skin.

His throat tightened. She had the birthmark. She was The One.

Her hips were slim, her legs long and strong as she tossed the robe out of her way. A soft thatch of dark hair covered her feminine mound, mere inches from his cream-coated c.o.c.k.

She leaned forward to nibble the warming cream and he suppressed a groan as her lips brushed the sensitive underside of his head and she lapped at the melting cream and chocolate.

aMmm,a she purred. aDelicious. I could eat this all night long.a He groaned. There was no way head last all night, not at this rate. She licked him clean, taking small cat-like laps as she cleaned him from root to head before taking him fully into her mouth. He was so big that she couldnat take much, but she made good use of her hand and, within minutes, he was straining beneath her.

aElaine, Iam going to explode,a he rasped.

She made quick work of a condom before rising over him, her slender fingers guiding him to her damp entrance. He dug his heels into the bed as she rubbed the broad head of his c.o.c.k against her slick opening. Her eyes closed, her expression rapturous as she rocked her hips. Positioning him, she sank, his fists clenching as she clasped him in her honeyed heat.

He slid his hands to her waist as she moved slowly, languorously. Bracing her hands against his chest, she rode him to completion. Her o.r.g.a.s.m triggering his, their cries mingling as he came in slow spurts, from deep inside his gut.
