Story: Cinder & Secrets

“The glass is tinted. No one can see in.”

Without another word, he lines himself at my entrance and plunges into me in a swift motion, our bodies coming together in a clash. He fills me so deeply that I gasp, my body not accustomed to the width and length of him.

My fingers are in his hair. At the nape of his neck. My nails scratch across his back as he moves at a relentless pace, fucking me so fast and hard that the pleasure borders on pain, and yet, it’s not nearly enough. I want all of it. All of him. I want him so deep that I don’t know where he ends and I begin. I want to draw him in and never let him leave. I want...everything.

With that fleeting thought, my body erupts around him, the very earth beneath us seeming to shake with the aftermath of the most intense orgasm I’ve ever experienced. But that isn’t enough for River. He keeps going, driving me to climax again before I’ve even recovered from the first.

And then, with the sexiest grunt I’ve ever heard in my life, he spills his release inside of me. And as we come down, our limbs tangled together, our panted breaths intermingling, I have only one thought... I can’t wait to do that again.

Chapter Six

“Everything okay?” Charlotte presses up onto her elbow when I reenter the room. I drink in the sight of her naked in my bed, red hair spilling across the most perfect ivory skin I’ve ever seen.

She’s breathtaking... Truly.

The knot of unease in my chest is only slightly outweighed by how desperately I want to sink back inside of her and never leave.

“Yeah, it was just work.” I drop my cell phone onto my dresser as I stalk toward her.

“Anything important?”

“No, just wanted to see if I could work tomorrow.” I crawl up the bed, pulling the covers back so that not a single inch of her is hidden from my view.

“I thought they gave you the weekend off?”

“They did.”

“So are you going to?” She drops her elbow, shifting so she’s flat on her back.

I smile. Always so willing and ready for me.

“And miss out on one more day of this?” I lean down, pressing my lips to her stomach. “Not a chance. I told them I had a family obligation I couldn’t get out of.” I move up higher, kissing the soft skin at the underside of her breast.

“Is that your way of asking me to stay another night?” She giggles when I hit a ticklish spot.

I didn’t technically ask her to staylastnight. I just refused to let her leave my bed once she was in it. One taste, and all I wanted was more. One touch and I was mesmerized. But feeling her bare around me, there are no words to what that’s done to me, though addicted seems like the most fitting thing I can come up with.

I had never fucked a woman bare before... Never trusted someone enough to allow myself. And maybe it was foolish of me to trust Charlotte enough, but I did. I do. Having felt her warm and wet around me, flesh to flesh; there’s no going back now anyway. Anything less thanallof her simply won’t suffice.

“Do you want to stay another night?” I climb farther up her body and swirl my tongue around each nipple, puckered with arousal, before my lips reach hers. I kiss her slowly and deeply, already so hard for her it’s damn near painful.

I’ve been with enough women in my life to know that Charlotte O’Malley is a rare breed. Wild and untamed. Willing to take everything I give her and still ask for more.

No matter how much I know we shouldn’t be doing this, there isn’t a fucking thing in this world that could get me to leave this bed right now.

“I could be persuaded.” She grins against my mouth.

“Oh yeah?” I slide my tongue against hers. “What do you want?”

“You’re off to a good start.” She tangles her hands in my hair, kissing me back with just as much fever as I’m kissing her.

“What about this?” I slide my hand between us, smiling when I feel her so wet and ready for me she’s practically pooling over my fingers. Dipping two fingers inside of her, I hook the tips, letting out a satisfied groan when her entire body jumps.

“Yeah,” she rasps.

I press my thumb to her clit, moving it in soft circles against it as my fingers continue their assault.
