Chapter

Twenty-Two

Smoke

T he soft, distant sound of running water breaks through the haziness in my head. When reality hits me, I fling open my eyes and jerk into a sitting position. I had been laid flat out on the bed. Who’s bed? Oh yeah, Tenley’s bed and fuck! I slept deeply, with not one recollection or tormented thought.

The noise is coming from what must be an ensuite bathroom. I can hear water splashing around, suggesting Tenley must be showering.

The bedroom is pretty spacious for an apartment of this size. Light gray carpet and walls look fresh and neutral, but the black and red accents splashed around the room in the form of cushions, bedding and throw, bring a warmth to it. However, the four-foot square abstract artwork in the same colors that is undoubtedly a naked couple fucking ramps up the heat.

It’s as sexy as fuck and that and the thought of a naked Tenley, wet and lathered up at the other side of the flimsy door, is pushing me to the limit.

The sound of the water shutting off does nothing to quench the images in my head. Now of Tenley standing naked, water droplets scattered over her flushed, heated skin from the warmth of the water.

The image in my head is still wild and vibrant when the door opens, and Tenley is right there, and fuck, she’s irresistible.

Long ropes of wet hair fall around her shoulders. Her body obscured by the skimpiest bubble-gum pink towel. Her skin is indeed flushed, every glorious fucking inch of it, and her piercing blue eyes are wide under my perusal. Her juicy lip caught at the side between her dazzling white teeth.

I push up off the bed and take no time before I’m crowding her.

“What?” she gasps, a flash of apprehension plays across her face.

“I lied.” I growl, brushing her wet hair over her shoulder, exposing her neck to me. “It’s not the only reason.” I run my tongue over the pulse point at her throat, pressing firmly, feeling the elevated speed of the beat. Her skin is soft and smooth. I suck the lobe of her ear between my teeth. One quick nip before I crash my mouth to hers. I walk her back into the bathroom, not once breaking the kiss that she eagerly accepts, and when her back hits the vanity unit, I lift her up and sit her on it.

“Smoke,” she gasps out between me devouring her mouth .

“Tell me to stop,” I pant, my forehead resting on hers, our gaze fused together. “Tell me to stop,” I demand, but my tone of voice is screaming out that’s not what I truly want.

Tenley shakes her head seconds before her mouth smashes to mine, giving me the truth that I so desperately need. She wants me, too.

While our mouths devour each other, I tug at the towel wrapped around her and it quickly falls open, baring her to me. I leave her lips, moving back just enough so I can look down at her naked body.

“You’re fucking perfect,” I murmur, cupping her face with my hands. I kiss her again, but this time softer, letting my lips brush over hers. Only the very tip of my tongue sweeping inside her mouth, teasing the tip of hers. While I continue to kiss her, my hands, palms flat against her silky skin, move down her throat, over her chest to her tits. The weight of each breast in my hands, how it fills them, how the flesh moves against my fingers when I knead them is sensational. So much so, that I break the kiss and drop my lips to a nipple and suck the sweet, hard bud fully into my mouth.

“Oh fuck,” she hisses and when I raise my eyes to her, I can see that her pretty lips are already swollen from our fevered kissing. Her hands come to the back of my head, fingers slide into my hair, nails digging into my scalp. “Oh, oh, that feels so… mmmm.”

“You should tell me to stop,” I repeat, eager for her to give me a reason to cease doing what I’m doing. It’s the only thing that will provoke me to end my advances .

“Why?” Tenley replies breathlessly, “When all I want is more.”

“Because, if you’re thinking that this is the start of some great romance,” I warn her as I slip my hand between her legs, two fingers breaching her pussy lips, coating them with her wetness, then thrust them deep inside her tight little cunt. I slide them slowly in and out of her before concluding my warning. “You’re so fucking wrong. This is sex, simple as.”

“Fine by me,” she fires back, snapping her fingers around my wrist, forcing my fingers in deeper. “Who needs romance? Now, less talking. Fuck me harder.”

“You’re a fucking dirty girl, aren’t you?” I growl at her unexpected response. “Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” I add another finger and start pumping hard and faster into her, hooking my fingers so I hit the right spot inside. “Because I’m going to ruin you, Tenley, more than you can comprehend.”

Her narrowed eyes meet mine as if I’m talking nothing but shit, still, once I’ve shown her what my fingers, mouth and cock can do, she’s going to want more. And that’s something that ain’t ever going to happen.

I continue to work her. She’s so fucking wet that even the rings on my fingers don’t hinder how fast and precisely I slide in and out. They’re big and bulky and I’m sure that she’s feeling every ridge and raised edge of the solid silver, ornate bands. Which I’m damn sure is enhancing her experience by the way she’s unashamedly riding my hand.

I work her clit with my thumb, rubbing the pad over the swollen nub. The sight of her as she writhes at the way I’m touching her has me speeding up and increasing the pressure. It only takes a few minutes until her hands are clawing against the skin of my arms. Her pretty blue eyes roll back into her head, legs trembling, crying out a string of inaudible words and moans as her orgasm hits her hard.

“Did you like that, Tenley?” I bring my fingers to my nose and breathe in the heady smell of her sex that lingers on them before sucking them into my mouth so I can get my first taste of her. Her chest heaves with every gasp of air she takes as she tries to catch her breath. “Was that good for you?”

“Yes,” she sighs. “Incredible.”

“Shit, woman. You ain’t seen nothing yet.” With that, I drop to my knees, push her legs up and apart so her feet are resting on the edge of the counter, opening her fully to me. I drop my mouth to her wet, glistening pussy, lapping up her sweet tasting, heady cum.

My tongue is long, thick and I have the ability to twist it like a corkscrew, so when I stab it deep into her warm cunt, her body jumps at the intrusion. I twist and swirl, flatten and thrust my tongue in and out between her swollen pussy lips as I continue to eat her out. Her hands, now back in my hair, dig into my scalp. With each movement I make, she either pulls me nearer or pushes me away as if unsure if she can take the torrent of sensation. But with the tight hold I have on her inner thigh, stopping her from closing her legs or trying to escape me, I continue to punish her cunt in the best possible way.

“Yes, yes,” she cries as she pushes herself against my face. “I can’t, so good.” The tip of my nose hits her clit, so with my tongue still doing its magic, I do short sharp jerks of my head from side to side so my nose flicks the exposed nub. “Oh my God, I’m going to…”

She doesn’t need to finish the sentence, because the way her whole body is trembling, I know she’s on the cusp of another orgasm.

I jerk my tongue out of her, remove my hands, and fall back on my haunches. Immediately, I raise my gaze to her face to see her reaction to my retreat. Her face tells it all. Lips parted, her breathing fast and furious, as it’s the expression on her face. Her high pitch growl, her flushed skin and flared nostrils tell me she’s pissed at me for blocking her chance to come.

I get to my feet shaking my head at her obvious frustration.

“Smoke, what the hell?” she grits. One of her hands goes between her legs, her fingers moving to take over from where I left off, but I slap it away. “Fucker,” she screams at me, brows furrowed, mouth in a snarl. “Why the fuck are you doing this to me?”

“Because I’ve not finished with you yet.” I grab her by the ass and lift her against me. Tenley’s annoyance at my antics soon dispels at my words. The disappointment and irritation in her eyes instantly morph into heat and want as she wraps her arms around my neck to hold on tight.
