He tipped her chin up with one finger, meeting her heated stare with his. “I am not an honorable man, sugar. I can’t offer you pretty words or happily ever after. Hell, I can’t offer you much after this is over. You okay with that?” He wasn’t going to lie to her.
Kailani nodded, looping her arms around his neck. “When this is over, I don’t plan to be around here either. I want tonight, Traeger, and maybe whatever else we can grab while we’re together.”
Hearing her say the same thing as he did didn’t sit well with him, but he wasn’t going to allow himself to question the whys. Instead, he bent and covered her lips with his, kissing her like a man deprived of water. He raised his head, checking to see that she was with him. Although she was kissing him back, with her past, he was sure that was something she’d done automatically. However, he knew a woman’s eyes didn’t lie, and right now, Kailani’s were sparkling with joy. Flicking his tongue out, he licked over her bottom lip, repeating the action over her top. “You doing okay, sugar?”
“Yes,” she said on a gasp. Her arms going around his neck like she was afraid he would push her away.
“Let’s take this inside.” He gave another teasing flick of his tongue over her lips, and was rewarded when hers came out to join his.
She shook her head. “No, here. I’ve never made love outside like this.”
The honesty and need shook him. He opened his eyes inquiringly to see Kailani looking up at him, her jaw clenching tightly.
With a nod, he stood, taking her with him to the corner of Cosmo’s patio where his friend had a set of loungers that resembled a bed. “Anything you want, I’ll give you, sugar.”
“I like that name better than princess.” Her arms held onto him securely as if she feared he’d drop her.
“It suits you,” he agreed. “Is there anything you don’t like, anything that you don’t want me to do?” If he sounded like a fucking pussy, he didn’t give a shit. With Kailani, he’d be one...for a minute. Hell, he’d be one for as long as it took to get her comfortable.
“I want you, all of you. I’m not scared of men, Traeger. I used techniques to...get through what I had to, but I’m not going to do that with you. I choose to be here with you, completely. Show me what it’s like to want a man. No, scratch that. I want you, let me be with you.”
Her honesty nearly undid him. He took his time undressing her, lifting the borrowed T-shirt over her head, finding the soft skin underneath sexier than any expensive lingerie. Next, he helped her shimmy the too big sweats off, finding the little patch of downy curls at the apex of her thighs better than any smooth pussy he’d ever had the pleasure of fucking. “I love these.” He sifted his fingers through them.
Kailani grabbed his face as he ran his fingers up and down her wet slit. “Please, oh God, I need.”
“I know what you need, sugar,” he promised her. His own body was telling him the same thing, but he pushed it back so he could concentrate on Kailani’s hunger first. He gave her a gentle nudge so that she was laying flat on the double lounger that was shaped like a huge circle, shrugging out of his shirt. Her eyes widened at her first view of his chest. He stood next to her letting her see him, waiting to hear if she liked what she saw. He’d been wearing a long sleeve Henley which covered most of his tattoos. Some women despised tats, but he wasn’t going to hide them from her.
“Those are gorgeous. You’re gorgeous. I mean...do men like to be considered that?” She sat up, biting her lip, one hand reaching for his chest.
He placed her palm over his pec, letting her feel how hard his heart was beating. “I’d say I enjoy everything about what you’re doing.”
She tried to trail her hand down to the waist of his jeans but Traeger knew his control wouldn’t last if she got her hands on his cock. He gripped the back of her hair in his hand and gave a slight tug, tipping her head back so that he could look her in the eye. “If you touch me, this might be over before it begins, sugar.”
KAILANI FELT MOISTURE coating her inner thighs as his words registered. He was the sexiest man she’d ever seen. Oh, she’d encountered gorgeous men, well-built men. Hell, there’d been men she’d been with who were all the above, but none had been by choice. Traeger was the first man she’d chosen. Like he’d said, this was her first time, and she was loving it. Loving everything he did. Even when he’d gripped the back of her hair, the slight sting made nerve endings stand up and shoot straight to her core. “Please, Traeger,” she whispered.
“Oh, I plan to please you.”
He climbed over her, taking her protest away in another kiss, this one deeper and good lord so much sexier as his tongue licked the roof of her mouth. She’d never enjoyed kissing before, but as his tongue swept inside, she mimicked what he did, groaning at his taste, wanting to give as much as she received, then all thoughts faltered and fled as his hands began tweaking her nipples. His fingers never seemed to stay in one spot long, pinching and pulling her flesh. Kailani was sure she’d go insane by the time he touched her where she most wanted, but then the reality eclipsed her wildest dreams. First one finger traced her, then he slipped two into her, gathering her juices as he slid them over her clit. Kailani cried out as he tapped her sensitive nub. Fuck, what was he doing to her?
Traeger pulled back, looking down at her, grinning. “You like that?” He didn’t wait for an answer, his lips pulling back into a devious grin as he bent and took one nipple into his mouth.
Kailani wanted to touch him, wanted to see his cock, but he hadn’t taken his jeans off yet. His diabolical fingers continued to torment her, rubbing around her clit, tapping it, and then blessedly, he pushed them into her, pumping in and out while his mouth moved to her other nipple and bit down just this side of pain. She knew her orgasm was close. “I’m going to come, Traeger,” she warned. Why, she had no clue. Hell, she’d never come before without some drug inducing it, but this time it felt bigger, hotter.
“Come for me, sugar.” He worked his fingers in and out, looking up at her, then he moved his body down, shocking her even more as his mouth latched onto the sensitive nub.
She gasped, flying over the edge with a scream, his name leaving her lips like a prayer. She fell back against the cushions, her body feeling like it had run a marathon.
Traeger continued to flick, caress, tease, and rub her clit, making her jerk at the overstimulated caress. She moaned and grasped at his shoulders, wanting him to fill her. His dark eyes stared up at her. So much need she was sure she could get lost in their depths for the rest of her life, even if all she had was tonight. “Now, Traeger, please.”
“You sure about this, Lani?” he asked.
Tears of happiness filled her at his use of the name she’d told him her friends called her. Of course, she hadn’t had any real friends since she’d been sixteen, not since her mother had been killed. “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”
He stood up, pulling his wallet out of his pocket. The chain attached to it jangled in the quiet night, echoing loudly. Kailani watched as he fished a condom out then handed it to her. “Hold that for me.” While she watched, he stripped out of his jeans and boxer briefs, standing before her gloriously naked and hard. He held his hand out for the foil wrapper, but she shook her head.
