Sam's Promise (Blackwater)

His entire body stiffened. “Afraid?” It was clear that had been about the last thing Sam had expected from her. “Of me?”

“Of the way I feel about you,” she rushed to explain. “Things are moving too fast.”

“Ah, now I’m beginning to get the picture.” He tapped her on the end of the nose and said, “Would it make any difference in your decision-making process if you knew I was falling for you?”

He seemed to be holding his breath. Was he afraid she’d reject him? Julie’s chest tightened as she realized how easy it would be to give Sam everything. But the cautious side of her forced her to ask, “How do you know it’s not just lust you feel?”

He didn’t speak for a few seconds, but to Julie it felt like an eternity. “I know because I’ve felt lust. This isn’t the same thing. Not by a long shot.”

She started to answer, but when she felt his cock against her, she groaned and moved off his lap. As she stood, her legs wobbled a little. Sam reached out and grabbed her arms. “Thanks,” she mumbled as she reached down and yanked up her sweatpants. She glared at him when the soft material rubbed against her bottom. “My butt hurts.”

All at once, he appeared contrite. “Aw, baby, I’m sorry.” Then he wrapped both arms around her middle and hugged her to him. “Want me to kiss it and make it all better?” he asked with an innocent smile on his handsome face.

An image of Sam on his knees kissing her behind invaded her mind, and Julie had to push it away in order to think clearly. He had her coming and going. She swatted his shoulder. “Stop distracting me.” He released her, and Julie put several feet between them. “I want to have a rational discussion here.”

One side of his mouth tipped upward in a delicious grin. “I thought that’s what we were doing. No?”

“No.” Julie eyed the cushion next to him and gingerly sat. “Look, I think I’m falling in love with you too, but Sam, this is fast. Like light-speed fast.”

He leaned back, and Julie could see the wicked length of his cock beneath the boxers. Her mouth watered for a lick. “You’re afraid you’ll wake up and realize you were the one madly in lust, is that it?”

Julie winced and looked down at her lap. “Maybe. Yes.” She clenched her eyes closed tight. “Oh geez, I don’t know. I only know I’ve never felt this way before. It’s a little scary.” She opened them again and looked at him. “Aren’t you afraid?”

Sam snorted. “Are you kidding? I’m scared out of my mind here, sweets, but I’m not about to let that stop me from exploring this.”

“I don’t want to stop either. I just don’t know if we should start thinking of weekends together—yet.”

He frowned. “I don’t like it, but I’ll take what I can get of you.” He paused, then added, “And we’re exclusive.”

Every muscle in Julie’s body went taut at the thought of Sam kissing another woman. “The only one in your bed had better be me,” she warned.

His frown turned into a traffic-stopping smile. “Feeling territorial, little rose?”

She narrowed her eyes and poked him in the chest. “This particular rose has thorns, buster.”

Sam suddenly stood and grabbed her hands, pulling her to her feet. “And the only man spanking that sweet ass of yours is me.”

She tried to bat his hands away, but he wasn’t budging. “You’re perverted, and you’re never touching my butt again.” Okay,

that was the biggest lie in the world, but she had to say something.

“Bullshit,” he grumbled seconds before crouching low and flinging her over his shoulder. “I’ll touch every part of you, Julie. Every sexy inch.”

All the air rushed out of her, and the world turned upside down. “Dang it, Sam, I’m not a sack of potatoes.” She smacked his back and shouted, “Put me down!”

He didn’t bother to respond, merely strode right out of the room and into her bedroom. Once there, he flipped on the light and placed her back on her feet. Julie swayed, but before she could get her bearings, he swiveled her around until she was standing and facing the bed. “I want you,” he murmured in that totally deep, sexy voice of his. “Tell me you want me too.”

Like she was stupid enough to say no. “Yes,” she breathed out.

From his position behind her, Julie felt him tug at her bottoms until they were down around her knees. He stopped a second, and she heard him curse. “This red ass has my dick so fucking hard.” Julie’s breathing was out of control, and her pussy ached to be filled by him. When he used his foot to nudge her feet apart, Julie looked over her shoulder in time to see him pushing his boxers down his thighs.

“You’re so beautiful,” she whispered.

He shook his head. “I’ll accept hot, handsome, even delicious, but not beautiful.”

She shrugged, not willing to argue the point when he stood there, his cock rock-hard and pulsing with vitality. As he reached for the box of condoms they’d left sitting on the end table and rolled one on, Julie turned back around and succumbed. It took only seconds before she was bent over the bed with his cock stretching and filling her hot pussy.

“It’s too much, Sam,” she said, feeling completely overwhelmed by him.
