Answering her prayers, his free hand began the slow trip past her belly button, under the thin triangle of lace, and found her already wet and slick, ready for everything he would give her before the night was through. His palm cupped her, one finger dipping between her folds. She arched her breasts into one hand, pressed her hips against the other. He tortured her with pleasure, building her desire higher, until she thought she'd scream.
His mouth moved from her lips down to that sensitive spot behind her ear. "Come for me, sweetheart," he whispered and his soft plea pushed her over the peak into an explosive climax. Her muscles clenched around his long, thick finger as an orgasm rocked through her.
She didn't even care if anyone walked outside, looked up, caught them; if anything, the idea excited her.
She turned in his arms, her naked skin brushing against his suit, and reached up to hold his face in her hands.
"I want you naked. Now."
He groaned, and kissed her hard as she slipped her hands under his jacket and pushed it off to fall on top of her dress. She undid the buttons of his crisp, white shirt, and popped his cufflinks off, her hands eager to run across the wide, smooth expanse of his chest, over his strong shoulders, down to his hips, then back up his well-muscled back.
"And then," she said, "I want you inside me."
"There is a God," he said, then groaned as she pulled his shirt off and pressed a hot kiss to his solar plexus.
"More," she said, undoing his slacks. She wouldn't be satisfied until all of Ty's perfection was laid bare before her.
"Looks like I just have to take care of one last thing," she said, looking at his boxer shorts.
She loved the way his cock was pushing toward her through the thin cotton, loved how close she was to having what she wanted, what she'd literally dreamed of.
"One very important thing," Ty said, and she laughed.
Sex and laughter had never been partners in her experience with men; even with Ty on grad night she'd mostly felt awe, fear, excitement, and arousal.
She didn't remember joy bubbling up from an endless fountain.
Still smiling, she gently pulled the waistband of his boxers over his erection. Sweet Lord, he was big.
And oh so beautiful.
Her memory hadn't even come close to the magnificent reality.
Ty's cock was a masterpiece.
She wrapped her fingers around him, sliding her hand up and down the thick, heated length. Ty's thigh muscles tensed.
"Don't get me wrong, honey, what you're doing right now is way up there on my list. But--"
She loosened her grip on his throbbing erection. As much fun as it would have been to know that she had the power to make him come, she didn't want to lose the chance to take him inside her.
"Please tell me you have a condom on you," she said. If ever there was a time for Ty to live up to his reputation as a lady-killer of epic proportions, it was now. She hadn't brought one, of course, because that would have meant admitting to herself that she intended to have sex with him.
Ty bent down and pulled one out of his inside jacket pocket. In a flash, he'd ripped open the package and slid it onto his shaft.
Looking at the six-plus feet of raw power standing before her, Julie lost her breath. She forgot all about celebrity exposes, forgot about the job she was supposed to be doing tonight, forgot anything but her need to be held by him.
"Here?" he asked. "Against the rail?"
She looked up from his huge, attention-grabbing erection into his eyes.
"Right here."
"Put your arms around my neck," he directed, and she was one step ahead of him, wrapping her legs around his hips too. She loved the way he supported her weight, cupped her flesh in his hands.
"I won't let you fall," he promised.
"I know."
She opened up to him, taking the tip of his dick inside. She was so wet, so ready for him, in a way that she'd never been for any other man. His muscles tightened as he held her in place on the tip of his shaft. Julie was glad for his endless weight training, his long, hard workouts. No other man could have held her captive like this, on the verge of swallowing him whole.
But Ty could. And she loved it.
"Do you want to hear me beg?" he asked, his words holding an edge she hadn't heard before. Gone was the charming rogue. In its place was the warrior who knew the limits to his restraint and was issuing a sensual warning.
She couldn't be so cruel, so she took him in another inch.
Then all hell broke loose.
His hips pushed into hers, and she couldn't resist taking everything he offered, every last ounce of pleasure. She clung greedily to him as he pushed her back into the balcony's railing and pounded deep into her, then deeper still.
His name was on her lips as she began climbing again, higher and higher, loving the way his dick grew bigger and harder with every stroke.
He used his hands to pivot her hips up and down and rock her clitoris against his pelvic bone. It was good, so good.
"Ty!" she whispered frantically, wanting to scream with pleasure.
"I'm right there with you, sweetheart."
From deep inside her, her climax exploded, her muscles clenching Ty's erection.
His shout was muffled by her hair as he plunged into her one final time, protecting her from the metal railing with his knuckles.
Even through the thick haze of her own orgasm, she loved the way his cock pulsed into her. A part of her mourned the thin separation of the condom
between them.
She'd never experienced anything so wonderful in all her life. But as sanity returned, she knew that this one time was all she could risk. No matter how much she yearned otherwise.
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Julie blew his mind. Every time he touched her, she went off like a rocket.
Besides tonight, there was only one other time he'd reacted so strongly. Back in high school, where Julie had been the hottest thing for miles.
Now he watched her silhouetted against the rising moon, naked and more beautiful than anyone or anything he'd ever seen. An array of emotions moved swiftly across her face.
She didn't think he knew her, but he did. And right about now she was ripe for regret.
Screw regret. Any two people who enjoyed each other as much as they just had owed it to themselves to do it again. And again.
He figured their luck-o-meter on not getting caught was just about running out, so he pushed down the desire to take her again on the chaise lounge ten feet away. Besides, he'd be more convincing in his arguments to keep doing it like bunnies if she thought he was concerned about propriety.
The two of them getting caught, naked, up on the balcony, wouldn't be great for either of their careers.
He bent down to pick up her dress. "Turn around and step into it," he said, holding it up in front of her incredible curves. "I'll zip it up."
She blinked at him a couple of times before following his instructions. She stiffened as his finger moved up her spine, then played at the nape of her neck while he re-did the intricate ties and clasps that held her dress in place.
When she turned back around Ty was caught, yet again, by her incredible beauty. While her dress was oh-so-proper, her hair was wild, pouring sexily over her shoulders. She looked like a well-fucked woman.
"Is my dress ripped? Oh God, we're never going to get away with this are we?" Worry was imprinted between her eyes, around her lips.
"You look great, your dress looks fine, and no one will have a clue about what we've been doing up here," he said as he began putting on his own clothes. Then he grinned. "No one except us."
She moved away but not before he saw her eyes flash with desire, the primal satisfaction that she couldn't hide.
"Speaking of us," she began, and he held out his cuffs to cut her off at the pass.
"Could you help me over here?"
Reflexively she returned to his side and while she was busy putting his cuff
links back on, he started spinning.
"You're an incredible lover, Julie," he began and she nearly dropped the Outlaw logo pin she was working on to the floor.
"Please, Ty, let's just pretend this never happened."
"Tell me the truth," he coaxed, hoping he was playing this right. "Do you really want to do that?"
She opened her mouth, almost spoke, then licked her lips. Watching the tip of her tongue move across the sexy curve of her upper lip made him rock hard all over again.
"I'm not going to lie," she said, her voice barely louder than a whisper. "What we just did was great. Really, really great. But we both know we shouldn't do it again. Never, ever again."
Yet something in her voice, in the way her fingers brushed against his wrists as she straightened the edges of his sleeves, made him wonder if she secretly wanted him to talk her into continuing where they'd just left off.
"Okay, now I'll tell you the truth as I see it."
She looked up at him, her blue eyes wide.
"There's fire between us. You and me, we're good together."
She shook her head, pulled away from him, and he reached for her hand. Held her close.
"There's no point in denying it. We have chemistry. And whether we like it or not, I don't think it's going to do either of us any good to try and ignore the sparks between us."
Julie took a deep breath, her eyes trained on their hands. "I just don't see how this could work."
He had to convince her once and for all to throw caution to the wind and have a damn good time with him.
"Look at it this way: We've got almost two weeks together, all day every day. I'm already in your house; you're my date for every event. I think we're both strong enough to enjoy what we want without it screwing ourselves up permanently, don't you?"
He knew she couldn't admit that she wouldn't be able to handle a sex-only relationship with him.
"Maybe," she conceded.
He smiled in anticipation of pleasure to come.
"On one condition," she said.
He nodded, knowing what she was going to say. "No strings attached. That's a given."
Something in her eyes gave him pause, made him wonder if he should have kept his big mouth shut. Especially since he wasn't even sure he meant what he'd just said.
"Of course there won't be any strings attached," she finally said, waving away his words as if they didn't matter one bit. "But I was going to say that I can only do this if you agree to keep our after-hours relationship completely secret."
