Steele (Justice Series #1)

She freed his cock and her mouth watered to taste him. Instead, she wrapped her hand around him while he rocked into her palm. When he handed her the condom, she rolled it over him and moved her skirt up over her hips so she could pull her panties off. Before she could figure out how to do that, he put his hands into the tiny lace and yanked them off her.

“Ride me, please? I want to feel you over me.” She moved over him, stood up on her knees, and lowered herself slowly onto his cock. Every inch of him felt like paradise to her, his thickness rubbed erotically over the walls of her sheath, and she moaned as she took him. When she was settled over him, his cock so deep within her that she could feel him at her throat, she rolled her hips forward as slowly as she could. She didn’t want to rush this, needed to make it last, so that she would be with him for as long as she could.

Steele pulled her blouse up and over her head. Her bra came next, and he buried his face between her breasts. The ride was becoming quicker and the moment he suckled at her nipple, nibbling on the tip, she held him to her and dug her fingers into his shoulder. Kari felt her teeth shift in her mouth, her cat snarling at her to take him. It was all she could do not to bite him, take his blood into her mouth and drink from him. Then she was suddenly on her back.

“Come for me.” Kari wrapped her legs around his hips and rose up to meet each of his thrusts as he moved in and out of her. “Come, Kari, come now.”

She couldn’t. Her cat was holding her back, her body craving something he wasn’t giving her. So instead of screaming out a release that wasn’t there, she pulled him down to her mouth and fucked his mouth with her tongue. He roared out his own release, came pounding deep inside her over and over until he dropped limply on top of her. Kari held him to her as her eyes filled with tears and her heart broke a little more.

When he lifted his head from her shoulder, she almost begged him to bite her. He looked so delicious, and she was falling in love with him. She had tried her best over the last several days to convince herself it was just that he’d rescued her, even if it was for his own personal gain, but he had and she was falling. When he kissed her nose, he shifted over her and her body screamed for more.

“Are you okay?” She asked him why he asked. “Because you do look a little pale and you’ve lost some more weight. Are you eating okay? I can have Izzy make you something more to your liking if you want.”

“What a thing to ask a woman.” She smacked him playfully on the arm when he smiled at her. Kari looked out the window of the car and saw her reflection. She did look terrible. “I guess you’ll be going back to work now.”

“I told Ray I was going to spend the evening with you. Unless you want to go out and see what little they have to offer here, we could go to my hotel room, order some food, and make love all night.” He sat up and brought her with him. His cock was still semi-hard and she rolled her hips over him. “Christ, I can’t seem to get enough of you.”

He moved her off his lap and onto the seat. She wanted to protest, but he told her that they had to check in. So she turned her back while he dealt with the condom and she straightened her clothes. It also gave her a chance to gather her wits. The man was breaking her heart, and he really didn’t have a clue. When he told the driver to take them to the hotel, Kari moved to the other seat again. He leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes. Kari watched him until the car stopped.

“We’re here.” She nodded and moved to the door when it opened, but Steele stopped her before she could get out. “You never answered me. Either time. Are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m just fine.” She moved out of the car and onto the sidewalk before he could ask her anything else. Kari looked at the pretty little house in front of them and then at Steele when he got out.

“It’s a bed and breakfast. I thought it would be nicer than a hotel.” She nodded, not sure she could say anything. As they entered, an older woman came out to greet them. Kari plastered a smile on her face and tried to tell herself that it was only for one day.

Steele was worried. She looked beautiful, of course, but she really was pale, and she was too thin. When they’d had sex in the limo, he had put his hands around her waist and they’d touched. He was sure he’d never been able to do that before. All he could think about was what Stanley had said to him…that she would die without his attention.

Instead of going up to their suite, he led her to the dining room. Mrs. Smyth had told him before he left that she’d whip them up a meal, it was her pleasure. Upon entering, he could smell the roast beef and gravy, and he realized how hungry he was. Pulling out the chair for Kari, he smiled at her when she looked up at him.
