CHAPTER 38

SEDUCTIVE DESTRUCTION

XANDER

November

“What do you need my help with?” I shove my hands into the pockets of my sweatpants, my dick already rock-hard.

Bella walks past me to my walk-in closet, a hint of a smile dancing across her lips. She’s up to something, and I’m impatiently waiting to find out what it is.

When she returns, her hands are behind her back, her expression pure mischief.

“What do you need my help with?” I ask again.

“What do you think about ties?” She holds up a familiar strip of black silk.

Damn . Is it just me, or is it suddenly too hot in here?

I take the tie, making sure my fingers brush hers. “To tie you up so you’re at my mercy?”

“Yes.” She steps closer, and when her mouth meets mine, a fire ignites within me. She moves to my jaw, using her tongue to trace a line down to the hollow of my neck. I shudder, goosebumps spreading over my skin.

Her touch disappears abruptly, and when I open my eyes she’s watching me, her irises a deep, dark blue, all-consuming and full of sexual energy.

I pull her against my chest, and when her breath hitches I can’t help but grin. We’re in this together, enjoying the moment. There’s no need to rush things. We have our whole lives ahead of us. Today, I want to explore her body, to test her limits and discover new things about her.

I pull the T-shirt—my shirt—over her head and drop it to the floor, leaving her standing before me in nothing but a bra and a pair of panties, her chest rising and falling erratically.

As I touch her, I soak in her warmth, relishing the way she trembles with desire. I grip her hips tighter and walk her back to my bed. To our bed.

God, that simple phrase turns me on even more.

She shimmies her panties down and unclasps her bra, tossing it to the floor. As she eases herself back onto the mattress, her hard nipples catch my attention. I desperately want them in my mouth. I take her wrists and carefully tie them together with my tie, stretching her hands above her head.

“Does that hurt?” I murmur in her ear.

She shakes her head and smiles, reassuring me she feels safe.

As I strip off my tee, I keep my focus fixed on her. I watch the way she drinks me in, lingering on the tattoos on my chest, then on my abs and the V that disappears beneath my waistband. I shuck off my sweatpants and kneel beside the bed, between her thighs.

Her pussy is already soaking wet, and I haven’t even done anything yet.

Time to change that.

I trace her slick folds, teasing her opening. Bella gasps, and when I slide two fingers inside her, the sound morphs into a moan. I pump my digits into her slowly, deliberately avoiding her clit.

I want her to beg.

I quicken my pace, each movement rougher than the last, faster.

Bella moves her hips up and down, as if she wants me deeper. “Xander, please,” she pleads.

“Please what?” I whisper against her sex, close enough that my lips barely brush her folds.

“Please touch me.”

I give in more easily than I intended, but fuck, I can’t deny her. I flick my tongue over her soft spot, and she arches her back. I suck and lap, fingers thrusting into her.

“You taste so good.” I blow on her clit, and when she writhes beneath me, I know she’s close. She pulls against the tie, as if trying to free her hands, rocking her hips against my mouth and making little groans of pleasure. I suck harder, curling my fingers, finding her sweet hidden spot with ease. Bella’s whole body stiffens, and she arches her back, screaming my name as she comes. I don’t stop, prolonging her orgasm and enjoying the taste of her.

She tastes like mine.

My cock is painfully hard. I want to be inside her so badly—Bella’s warm pussy is where I belong. I hover over her, bracing myself with an arm on either side as I take in her beautiful face.

Six months ago, if someone had told me I’d end up falling in love with Miller’s girl, I would’ve laughed in their face. But the second I laid eyes on her, I knew I was screwed.

Then, when I saw how she looked at me, I knew she could be my forever.

Beneath me, her pupils are blown, her breathing erratic. With my lips against hers, I devour her, nibbling on her bottom lip and sucking it into my mouth. Again, and again. When my tongue tangles with hers, electricity sparks through me.

I shift so I can touch her. I need to touch her. With her nipple caught between my thumb and forefinger, I pinch.

She moans against my lips. A little bit of pain mixed with pleasure is exactly what gets her off.

Slowly, I lean away and wet my lips. “Can I fuck you bare tonight? I’ve never done it with anyone, but it’s all I want with you,” I confess hoarsely. “I get tested regularly.”

Breath hitching, she nods. “I’m on the pill.”

I smash my lips to hers and push my entire length into her in one thrust, a groan ripping from my throat. I sink my hands under her butt, lifting her hips so I can pump deeper.

“God, you’re perfect.” I dip my head down, leaning closer to her. I ravage her neck, licking the delicate column of her throat and sinking my teeth into her flesh, leaving marks on her skin.

Bella pulls on the tie again, wrapping her legs around my hips. “Harder,” she moans. “Please, make me come. Make me come so hard.”

Dangerously close to losing it, I bite her bottom lip and then let it go, coming deep inside her in hot bursts. I growl as absolute ecstasy overwhelms me. Her orgasm hits her a second later, and her pussy tightens around me. We’re somewhere in the middle of our own universe, oblivious to any sounds but our breathing and the beating of our hearts.

When her spasms ebb, I pull out and drink her in. She lies on the covers, breathing hard. I nestle between her legs again, focusing on her cunt. My cum leaks from her opening. It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.

I dive in and lap at her until there isn’t a drop of either of us left, my cum mixing with her juices.

Bella gasps and rolls her hips. “I want to taste us… Let me taste us.”

Hovering over her, I lower my head, and when she parts her lips, I spit the mess we made into her mouth.

“Now swallow, baby,” I tell her, tugging on her nipple. “Show me what a good little slut you are.”

With a smile, she does as I tell her.

Watching her like this, my heart grows two sizes. I press my forehead to hers and inhale deeply. This thing between us is beyond my understanding, making me doubt everything I thought I knew about myself.

“I love you.”

“I love you too,” she says softly.

Cock already hard again, I release her hands, and Bella instantly pulls me to her for another mind-blowing kiss. She’s insatiable. I break our connection and flip her onto her belly, slapping her butt before I lower my head to her ear, my tongue tracing her earlobe.

“Do you want me to be rough or gentle this time?” I sneak my hand under her belly and help lift her ass up.

“Rough, please.” Her shaky voice makes me smile. Slowly, I slide into her from behind. Her hot, wet pussy clenches around my shaft so hard my body trembles. “I want you to use me… Make me your filthy slut…”

Gripping her ass tight, I slam my hips against hers over and over. I close my eyes, spurred on by the sweet sounds she makes.

“Don’t stop,” she begs, her voice low as she hides her face in my pillow.

“Anything for my beautiful slut.”

“Yes, please,” Bella breathes.

I spank her and watch her skin redden. It’s a very thin line—to be rough with her like she wants but not hurt her. I increase my tempo, ramming into her pussy and slapping her over and over, using her little whimpers as cues.

Suddenly, she trembles and cries out, “Oh, God!” and I’m hit with a gush of warm liquid.

Fuck . It takes all my self-control not to come on the spot. I pull out and roughly flip her so she’s on her back.

Her eyes are wide, her chest rising and falling violently.

I grin at her. “Is that the first time you’ve ever squirted?”

“Yeah. I had no idea I could do that.” She bites her bottom lip, and pink creeps into her cheeks. “I’m sorry for ruining the sheets.”

I put my finger under her chin and make her look at me. “I don’t care about the sheets. You are the only thing that matters to me.” With that, I flip her again. “Ass in the air, baby.”

She grips the headboard this time, and I put my hand on the small of her back, urging her to arch deeper.

I find my rhythm again quickly, hunched over her so I can rub her clit between my fingers. When her insides start spasming around my dick again, she buries her face in my pillow, muffling her sounds.

Immediately, I slow and lightly slap her cunt. “I want to hear you come on my cock.”

She glances over her shoulder and nods.

“Good girl.” Keeping a steady pace, I massage her clit, my fingers moving frantically.

When she comes, screaming my name, I grip her hips with both hands. My fingers dig into her skin as I let the wave of heat rush over me, my cum spilling inside her. It’s so intense, it clouds my mind.

When I’ve been emptied out, I roll onto my back beside her, pushing away the hair that sticks to her sweaty forehead.

“You were incredible,” I whisper, caressing her face.

I can degrade her all she wants in the bedroom, but deep down I know she has power over me like no one’s ever had before. She is the queen of my heart, my body, my mind. Her reign began the second she kissed me, and I’ve worshiped the ground she walks on ever since.

When I’m with her, I have everything I need.

* * *

We climb into bed—with a clean set of sheets—a few hours later, and I cuddle her to my chest, hiding my nose in her hair. Her scent is all over me, mingling with mine, full of spice and sex and promises.

“Bella?”

“Yeah?” She presses her body closer to mine.

“How long have you been on the pill?” I ask quietly.

“Since my first time with…erm…since my first time.”

She was going to say Miller’s name. Fuck . I shut my eyes. I need to remember that they have a history together, that they shared some pivotal moments of their lives.

“Did you love him?”

“Xander.” She shifts and peers up at me, resting a hand on my cheek. “Jake was my first love, but you’re the one I want. I’m in love with you…and my feelings for you are so much stronger and deeper than anything I ever felt for him.”

“I’ve never loved anyone more than I love you, so I know the feeling.”

Eyes softening, she presses her lips to mine for a slow kiss. When she pulls back, I drag her over my body until she’s straddling my legs. “I’ve been thinking…I’d like to introduce you to my parents.”

Her whole body goes tense. “Wh-what?”

“When you’re ready, I want to take you to meet my parents. They’re great, I promise.” I put my hands on her sides and slowly lower them to her hips. “What do you say? Wanna meet my folks?”

“I’d love to. Just give me some time.” She inhales deeply, worrying her lip. “Maybe a few weeks.”

“Whenever you’re comfortable. There’s no pressure.”

We stay tangled in each other for a long time, our soft caresses turning needier with each passing minute. With her hands roaming over my chest, tracing the ink on my skin, she murmurs, “Mind if I tie you up?”

Pulse stumbling, I snag the tie from the nightstand and hold it up. In seconds, she’s straddling me again, leaning over me, tying my hands together. I catch her nipple in my mouth, my teeth grazing it.

She grips the headboard as she ties my hands to it. “Now it’s time for you to play by my rules, Mr. Quarterback.”

Goddamn. This girl is fire, a tornado, a seductive destruction. She’s everything.
