the words no in my mouth. Panic engulfs my chest. What if I say no and I never see him again? What if he’s the one? It’s only a drink after all?
I know he can see the conflict in my face. Another man would jump in and try to cajole me into going home with him. Not Ace. He sits watching me. Waiting for me to make up my mind. And that’s the clincher. I find it sexy as hell. He’s so confident that he just waits.
Like he knows the answer will be yes.
I grapple with indecision. Just one drink, I tell myself.
Who was I kidding, I think later as we hungrily eat each other’s mouth in the elevator? He tastes of the bourbon I served him earlier with a hint of mint. The elevator comes to a stop and he breaks the kiss and leads me to his apartment.
I register the bareness of his apartment before he pulls me into his arms again and before I can protest, our mouths have meshed together. Warning bells ring in my head. It’s all moving too fast. We need to get to know each other first before jumping into bed.
Maybe we can get to know each other afterward.
His hands find my nipples underneath my top and all rational thought leaves my head. I moan as his fingers expertly tease my nipples over my lace bra. I realize that we’re moving and by the time we get to what I assume is his bedroom, we don’t have a stitch of clothing on and I’m panting for him to take me.
I’m embarrassed by my lust, but I take comfort in that it’s mutual. Ace guides me to the bed and arranges himself between my legs. I let out moans as his tongue works over my folds. I’ve missed this so badly. I come over and over again as he tirelessly pleasures me.
My body screams for more. “I want you,” I tell him, and he growls in response.
It’s only later that I realize with dismay that we had sex without protection. I prop myself up on my arm. “Did you?”
Ace trains those gorgeous liquid brown eyes on me and when understanding dawns, he shakes his head. “No, but I withdrew.”
Relief surges through me. I’ve never done anything so stupid. I can’t even tell my sister. She’ll chew me out for it and lecture me about the dangerous diseases that lurk in strangers’ bodies.
I lower my head and plant kisses on his hairy chest. He has a distinct woodsy scent as if he works outside.
I raise my head for some conversation. “So, what is that you do?”
He threads his fingers through my hair. “Right now, what I want to do is to ravish you again and again.” He pulls me to lie on top of him and kneads my backside.
His manhood hardens between my legs and I shift so that it rubs deliciously against my still sensitive sweet spot. He cups the back of my head and brings me down to his lips. He nibbles on my lower lip and then sucks it as if it’s the sweetest thing he has ever tasted.
He slides down and captures my left nipple in his mouth and plays with the other. My nipples are the most sensitive part of my body and before long, I’m squirming and moaning his name. He nips each nipple with just the right amount of pressure.
He drags his tongue down to my belly, pushing me up so that I’m on all fours. He slides further down and grips my hips with his big hands. I gyrate as if I’m on the dance floor as his tongue teases my pussy.
I grab a fistful of bedsheets as an orgasm rolls around my stomach working its way to the rest of my body. Ace completely slides from under me and I hear the rustle of a foil packet.
Moments later, he thrusts his manhood deep into me, filling more than just my pussy. He fills a void in me that I hadn’t known existed. He glides in and out of me in perfect rhythm.
He makes me forget all the heartbreak of the previous months. It doesn’t matter that Eric left me without an explanation or goodbye. What matters is here and now and the pleasure that wipes away all that pain.
Is it possible to fall for a man hours after meeting him? I have a feeling about Ace. He’s special. The sex is out of this world but
