Lust & Lies Box Set-Sexual Awakenings, Excess, Predator & Prey

“Devin,” I murmured as he captured my lips and pushed me down on the bed beneath him. He kissed me softly before pulling back to look down at me with kind, gentle eyes.

“I’m not good enough for you.”

“Really? I like it. It’s a lame excuse, but I like that you’re working that out for yourself. And just so you know, this is love, Devin. This…us…This is love.”

He landed a string of intimate kisses down my neck. It wasn’t like him to be so gentle.

“I want it hard.” My confession seemed to surprise him. I knew he wasn’t capable of sharing his heart with me, and I couldn’t bear the thought of living through his lovemaking. I’d fallen hard, and his unrequited love would be the end of me if I felt his affection in his fucking.

Without warning, he pulled away from me, grabbing the belt from his pants on the floor. Coming back to the bed, he fastened my ankles together with it, leaving me bound.

“How about deep?” He gave me a sexy smile as he pushed my ankles up and lifted my lower half, so it was resting on his knees. I couldn’t see him around my legs but felt the tip of him invade me, making me moan.

“Fuck, Nina, you are ruining me.”

“I want you to come in my mouth.” My voice was so hoarse with arousal that I didn’t recognize it.

“What am I doing, Nina?” he rasped as his length slid into me.

“Taking what’s yours,” I moaned back.

Because of the way he’d bound me, the sensation was amazing. He was deep, so deep, and the friction was surreal. It was torture not being able to see his blue depths as he fucked me hard and deep. I heard his grunts match his exertion as he lifted up higher, bending my knees so my feet rested on his chest and we were finally eye to eye. Our lips parted further with each thrust, and suddenly our mouths were praying out to each other in appreciation.

“I want you so much, Nina, all the time. You are all I see.” I came hard, feeling the explosion through my limbs as he pulled out, unfastening my ankles and slipping between my legs, massaging the back of my calves and thighs.

“Devin, please come in my mouth,” I protested as he slipped back inside of me.

“No,” he whispered into my ear as he kept his pace hard.

“Why not?”

“Because I want to hear you say it again when I come.”

My heart jumped in surprise as he looked down at me, and as soon as his cock jerked in release, I looked right into his beautiful, blue eyes and repeated the words to him.

“Wake up.” It was Taylor. I rolled onto my side and away from her, trying desperately not to fall apart as I recalled the rest of that day. Devin had taken me sailing again, teaching me the basics. We dined on oysters and cold beer, then tortured and soothed each other’s bodies on his boat until the sun rose, neither of us willing to break away. We missed work and spent the day sleeping, talking, and fucking until we were forced to go back to reality. It had been absolutely perfect. Though he’d never said the words back, I knew he loved me too. He’d loved me all along.

“Taylor, the next time you have a hot tip on where my ex-boyfriend is, please keep it to yourself.”

“I’m so sorry about what happened. Why didn’t you come inside or at least fucking call me! I would have blown a hole through that fucking psycho.”

She was referring to Aiden.

Aiden, the psycho. Jesus.

I couldn’t help the pain that spread through me. The loss of who he was like a death to me.

“I handled it, along with Mrs. Leroy Brown.” I sat up, covering myself in my sheet as I looked over to Taylor. She regarded me with sympathy and concern, and I shrugged my shoulders.

“I’m going to be all right.”

“This much I know, but honestly, if you wanted to fall apart, I would understand.” She turned away from me so I could grab a robe. I excused myself to the bathroom, and when I came out, she looked up at me.

“I’m sorry, Nina. I don’t know what I was thinking telling you about Devin. I was just so fascinated. When he walked in, he didn’t see me, and I wondered what the hell he was doing in there. I was so stunned, I guess I had a teenage moment and wanted to gossip.”

I walked into my closet.

“Nina, you have to know I had no idea about any of this.”
