He landed at the back of her throat, and he automatically bucked upward, unable to control his response.
She gripped him again, steadying herself, and then she slowly worked back up. This time she didn’t tease but rather set a steady rhythm with her hand and mouth, growing tighter with each stroke.
“Use your other hand to cup my balls,” he said in a tight voice. “Squeeze but not too hard. Work them while you suck me.”
The raw, coarse language had the same effect on them both. Grace trembled. Her ni**les tightened and became rigid, erect points as they bobbed in front of him. Precum leaked into her mouth, and he worried at first that she’d decide this wasn’t what she’d imagined and bail.
Instead she slowed and seemed to savor it, almost like she was deciding how she liked it. She rolled her tongue around, catching every bit of the liquid before resuming the slow, sucking motions.
She had both hands wrapped around him, one around his balls, squeezing and massaging gently, and the other stretched around the base, working up and down in time with her mouth.
“Deeper,” he urged. “Take me deep, baby. Hold me there. See how deep you can take me.”
He didn’t want to take over and force her to do anything. He’d rather let her set her own pace, explore at her leisure and do what came naturally to her. It was sexy as hell to discover a blow job with her.
In a lot of ways it felt like he was getting his first ever. He could also say he’d never had anything better than right here, right now, with a woman who wanted nothing more than to please him.
She sucked down until her chin brushed over his balls and her nose rested against his groin. Then she swallowed, her throat closing around him, and he lost the last vestiges of his control.
He arched into her, barely able to utter a harsh warning that he was coming. He began to spill into her mouth but she kept sucking and moving, seemingly unfazed by the sudden, forceful ejaculation into her mouth.
He reached out to run his fingers through her hair, his touch gentle and loving as she slowed in her movements. He felt her swallow against him and groaned, knowing she’d just taken everything he’d had to give.
She seemed to instinctively know he was a lot more sensitive now, and she loosened her grip and suction until she very gently released him. His erection sagged to the side, still semierect, and she looked up at him, her lips still glistening with his release.
“That was incredible,” he said
hoarsely. “Thank you.”
She blushed but smiled big, her blue eyes shining.
“Come here,” he said, f1D;inding her hands and pulling her toward him.
He wrapped his arms around her and lay back so she was atop him on the bed. Then he rolled so she was tucked into his side, their legs all tangled up.
“Thank you. That was very sweet of you. I don’t think I’ve ever had a woman who wanted to please me as much as you.”
She tilted her chin up so that her mouth was close to his ear and she whispered as if imparting something top secret. “I love the way you taste. Can I do it again sometime?”
He groaned again. Did she honestly think he was going to tell her no?
CHAPTER 25
GRACE was shaken awake to see Rio looming above her, a tight frown marring his face. She came instantly to awareness, blinking away the layers of sleep. Sunlight shone in from the high window, softly illuminating the room in morning sunshine.
“I have to do some recon,” he said tersely.
She scrambled to a sitting position. “What does that mean? Do I need to go?”
He held out a hand. “No, no. You stay here. Browning’s going to be here with you. I’m going out with Terrence while Decker, Diego and Alton are going to post a perimeter to make sure no one gets in.”
“Is someone here?” she demanded. “What’s going on, Rio?”
“Maybe nothing, but I’m not taking any chances. Browning just came off his watch and he reported movement in the southern sector bordering the river. Said they didn’t look like locals. As I said, it could be nothing, but I’m sure as hell going to check it out.”
She bit her lip but nodded.
“Listen to me. I want you up and dressed and prepared for anything. But I want you to stay in this room until I come back. Unless Browning tells you to move out. If for some reason I can’t return to get you and we need to move, he’ll bring you to meet me through one of the escape tunnels.”
Her pulse raced out of control until she could feel it at her temples. She scrambled out of bed, staring left and right, unsure of what she was even looking for.
Rio put his hands on her shoulders and then turned her around to meet his gaze. He lowered his head and kissed her hard and quick.
“Don’t freak. I need you calm. There are clothes in the closet. Get what you need. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
He kissed her one last time and then was gone before she could even tell him to be careful.
There was no hope of her actually relaxing after that kind of wake-up call. She rummaged through the closet until she found a shirt and a pair of shorts with a drawstring waist. Perfect.
She frowned as she considered whether or not to take a quick shower. He hadn’t really had time to leave yet. If he found trouble, he wouldn’t find it this quickly, would he?
Finally deciding to risk it, she set a record for getting hair and body washed and clean. She toweled off, pulled her clothing on and then began drying her hair. She combed it out, left it mostly damp and pulled it back into one of the rubber bands she found in the bathroom drawer.
