Kelly had begged me now at least a dozen times to take her clothes off, to take off mine, to fuck her, to end this torment. I smiled grimly and dipped down, bringing my raging hard-on up and into her.
Well, almost into her.
I hoped Kelly had learned a valuable lesson tonight. I was a stickler for the rules. She wasn’t ready to get naked and fuck. But I was going to continue making her come until it was time to leave the hotel suite.
I never did things halfway. Just like I never left a man behind. I wasn’t leaving any orgasms behind either.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
I paused and flipped her over again. I stared down at the gorgeous, entirely-clothed woman I was lucky enough to be in bed with. All her shields were down, other than the obvious, material ones.
Next time, I’ll tear those panties off with my teeth.
“I should drive you home.”
She moaned and reached for me.
“Don’t stop, Cain.”
“If I don’t stop, I’ll—”
I cut myself off. I wasn’t going to say it aloud. And I sure as fuck wasn’t coming in my pants like some frat boy at a strip club.
“Please . . .”
“Your mama will be worried.” I gritted my teeth, tempted beyond words to do what she was asking. “That’s not a good way to start this.”
“This?”
Her sexy voice was breathless. It sent a jolt straight to my gut. I kissed her hard and ran my hand over her side.
Then I did the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life.
I rolled away and got out of the bed.
“What are you doing?”
“Taking you home.”
My voice sounded raw. Unrestrained. Emotional.
I hauled back and slapped myself. Mentally, of course.
Cut that shit right now, Marine. You have a woman now but that is no reason to turn into a puddle of goo.
“Cain . . .”
I swallowed and pulled my shirt on. My cock was fucking aching but I wasn’t going to let that stop me from doing what was right. I’d made a promise and I would keep it.
“It’s almost midnight. It’s time to get you home.”
“But—”
“You said ‘late,’ not overnight.”
I splashed cold water on my face and looked back toward the bed. Kelly was up. She wouldn’t look at me as she scurried past me to the bathroom. I had to stop myself from reaching out and grabbing her. I wanted to push her up against the wall and lose myself in her. I wanted to break all my promises, yank her panties down, and fuck her straight into next week.
But I didn’t.
I heard water running and knew she was doing what I just had. Icy cold water to snap me out of the sex haze. When I got home, I planned on doing the full-body version.
I highly doubted a cold shower would stop my balls from turning blue, but it might take the edge off.
Or not.
She came out looking contrite and mulish. Didn’t matter. I wanted her thinking about me until our next date. Wanting me. That way, next time, the only rules would be mine.
“Ready?”
She nodded and I held up a finger. I checked the hallway and the staircase before bringing her outside. I decided to take the main elevator. We rode in silence. It was a heavy silence, thick with sexual tension. Kelly was mad at me, I could tell.
Or maybe she was mad at herself. We’d both come close to losing control. She’d done a fair bit of begging as the night wore on. It had come very close to snapping my control, but I’d held out. I wanted to tell her that only my years of brutal training had made me able to do what I had done. I wanted to tell her that it was tearing me apart to say no to her.
But I didn’t.
I handed our key cards in and signed the bill. It was a lot for a few hours. But it was a hundred percent worth it. A thousand percent.
She’s worth it.
I texted the guys and did a quick visual sweep of the parking lot. It was clear. Two bikes pulled up on either side of Kelly’s car. Hunter was riding my bike. He’d come back for his later.
He was one of the few people I would ever trust to look after my wheels.
“Keys.”
She fished around in her purse, looking defeated. I took one look at her and knew she was taking this the wrong way. I decided to wait until we were in her car to show her just how wrong.
“I need a minute.”
Hunter and Vice pulled ahead, waiting for us at the parking lot exit. I held the passenger door open for Kelly and waited for her to get in. Then I climbed in the driver’s side and locked the door behind me.
The car was tiny, just as I’d expected. It was cramped for a guy my size. Didn’t matter. If she hadn’t imposed her rules on me, I would be trying to get her wrapped around my bare cock at that very moment, no matter where we were.
