Forbidden Fruit (5 page)

He left the bed, went to the closet, and chose two ties. When he came back, the silk dangling from his fingers, Ava’s mouth dropped open in shock. “What are you going to do with those?”

“Tie your hands and blindfold you.”

She blinked several times, and Luke had to give her credit for not leaping off the bed. Instinct told him she wasn’t used to sexual games. Good. He liked knowing no other man had given her this sort of pleasure.

He aligned his body next to hers, propped himself up on his elbow and stared down at her. “Do you trust me enough to let me have my way with you, Ava?”

“I might not like it. I’ve never done this before, Luke.”

Luke laid one tie on the bed. With the other, he teased her nipples, drifting the material over and around both breasts, then he glided it down her belly to her mound. She was still covered.

“Slip your panties off, but leave the skirt.”

Ava quickly obeyed. She started to drop the small white cotton to the floor, but he was quick to grab them out of her hand. He brought them to his face and inhaled her womanly scent. “Mmm, such a sweet little pussy. And all mine.”

“Oh.”

The oval shape of her lips as she spoke sent him into overdrive.

Luke dropped the panties onto his nightstand and went back to teasing her with the tie. He drifted the silk over her curls, then the soft, wet center of her. He flicked the end of the tie over her clit.

Ava closed her eyes and arched upward, whimpering softly. Luke pulled the tie away and waited for her eyes to open again.

“I’m glad you’ve never done this, but there’s no need to be scared. I won’t do anything that you don’t want.”

Ava stared at him for so long, he thought she was going to tell him no. Her shy nod had his balls drawing up tight.

“Good girl,” he praised, then he leaned down and kissed her. His tongue probed the seam of her lips and she parted, giving him access to the hot wet cavern. He flicked and sucked at her tongue, re-warding her for trusting him. When he pulled away, they were both panting. Her body scorched his everywhere their flesh touched.

With great effort, Luke brought himself back to the game.

He rose to a sitting position then took one of her tiny wrists in his hand. She was so delicate. Ava had an inner strength that he admired, but when he held her fragile bones in his palm, Luke was reminded of how easily he could hurt her. He wrapped the tie around it once, then he did the same with her other wrist, before tying a knot in the center. It was loose, but that was the point.

“I can easily get free. It’s not a very good knot, Luke.”

He flicked the end of her impertinent nose. “That’s the point. A good little girl will stay put. A bad girl will slip loose.” Luke took the other tie and leaned in close. He nipped her earlobe, enjoying the way she moaned. “I wonder which you’ll be.”

“Depends.”

The single word, spoken so low, caught him off guard. “On what?”

“What I get if I’m good and what happens if I’m bad.”

Luke chuckled. “You sure caught on to the game quick, baby.”

She grinned. “I’m a fast learner.”

Luke covered her eyes with the tie, then instructed her to lift her head so he could tie it securely behind her head. “Does it feel okay?”

“Yes.”

She was quiet and shy all of a sudden. Luke wasn’t going to give her time to think too much. He left the bed and quickly stripped. Then went back and knelt between her thighs. Luke went straight for her sweet spot, grasping it between his index finger and thumb, he pinched lightly. Ava spread her legs wider, giving him permission to do more.

“If you’re a good girl, you’ll get to have my big cock inside your tight pussy and you’ll get to come. A lot.”

He sank two fingers inside her heat then, soaking them both with Ava’s delicious juice. “But, if you’re a bad girl, then I’ll be forced to fuck your sweet little ass. And you’ll have to ask my permission to come.”

“Oh God.”

He aligned his body along hers, keeping his fingers deep inside Ava, unmoving, and growled, “I wonder, are you a good little girl, Ava, or are you naughty?”

“Please, Luke.”

She wiggled around beneath him, her hands tied together above her head. “Please what?”

“I can’t wait any longer. Please, I need you inside of me.”

“You’ll have to wait.”

She shook her head in denial. “No! Please fuck me. It feels as if I’ve waited for years to be here like this with you.”

Luke warmed at her words. He kissed her gently and then reared back to look at her disheveled clothing. Her shirt was flung open, her skirt pushed up around her waist. “You look like a little slut with that outfit all askew. I could fuck you so hard right now.”

“Then do it!”

“This little pussy is hungry for me isn’t it, Ava?” Luke growled, needing to hear her say it.

“Yes!” She screamed, the single word causing a maelstrom of need inside him. Luke felt crazed. Like a man gone mad.

“Give me time to play first,” he whispered, then he pinched her tiny nub and Ava let out a moan. She pushed against his hand and abruptly Luke pulled away. “I want you on your hands and knees.”

Ava hesitated, her pride stinging. Everything he’d done so far was beyond anything she’d ever experienced. She’d never known a more powerful man. He was pushing her beyond her comfort zone. Inadvertently, her body went stiff at his harsh command. She could see that he was content to let her take her time. He was so in control, while she was a wild mass of nerves and wants. It was frustrating.

Shocking him, Ava carefully turned onto her stomach. With her hands tied it wasn’t easy, but she managed to get up on her hands and knees, the way he’d instructed. She left her pride behind and bared her soul, as well as her body. Her entire body shook with need.

“Jesus, you look good like this. I can see every detail of your sex and ass. I have to taste you, baby.” Then he moved behind her and kissed her labia. “Mmm, perfect. All spicy and hot and slick.”

At the first swipe of his tongue, her legs quivered, barely able to hold herself upright. He wrapped both his sinewy arms around each of her thighs and spread her open further. Luke plundered and explored her pussy. He was so gentle with her as he licked at her cleft, teasing a moan out of her. It wasn’t enough. Ava wanted to feel his tongue probe deep. She had the sneaking feeling that it would never be enough with Luke. A lifetime spent making love, night and day would only whet her appetite. She wanted to please him. To tip him over that edge of desire. To hear his shout when he came.

The part of her brain still functioning couldn’t believe she was doing this. She had the handsome, possessive Luke McGiffin between her thighs, licking and kissing and driving her wild. Ava planned to enjoy the hell out of every minute too.

When he took her tiny nub into his mouth and sucked at it, she lost control. Her thoughts were forgotten as he drew a long moan out of her. Feelings began to build and soon she was all but begging for release.

Ava pitched over the edge as he nibbled her clitoris. She lost all sense of time and place with the blindfold on. Inhibitions disappeared and she bucked against his face, her body turning to liquid lava.

“Oh, yes!” she shouted, then shattered into a million tiny shards.

Luke’s assault didn’t end there. He continued to tease her clit, causing her to squirm. Evidently, he wasn’t satisfied with her pleading, because he used his fingers on her as well, inserting one at first, then two. Barely edging his way in, he expertly wiggled them back and forth. The dual sensation of his mouth sucking at her, and his fingers stroking at the sensitive nerve endings just inside her cleft, tore a scream from her. “Luke, I can’t!”

“You can,” he hissed against her flesh, then flicked one more time. Ava flew high, higher than ever, over some invisible edge.

From far off in the distance, she heard Luke’s soft words of approval.

“That’s it baby, let it go. I’ve got you,” he soothed.

And he did, she realized. His arms were wrapped so tightly around her upper thighs that it was a wonder she could feel her legs at all.

Ava felt Luke kiss her mound, then pull away. But just as quickly, he was back. With his cock at her entrance, his hands wrapped around her hips, he held her still.

“You’ve been a very good girl, Ava. But someday, soon, I’m going to have to fuck this pretty ass.”

Then he slowly pushed into her, just barely breaching her entrance, before pulling all the way out again. Ava whimpered, wanting, needing him to fill her. She felt his knee nudging her legs wider. She was so ready for him, so swollen and dripping wet. His cock slid deep and she screamed his name. He was so big. Her very limited experience hadn’t adequately prepared her for his girth.

“Damn, Ava, you feel so good. So tight and hot I’m burning up for you, baby.”

His words fueled her libido further. He took his time, finding the right rhythm. Her body clenched the further in he went.

“Don’t go rigid on me, Ava.”

“I… I can’t help it, Luke. It’s just so perfect.” Tears sprang to her eyes and she closed her lids in a lame attempt to keep them to herself. “You can’t know how badly I’ve wanted this.”

He leaned down and kissed his way up her spine. Her heart shuddered in her chest. “Yeah, we’re perfect together. Remember that.” And then he plunged deep, burying himself completely.

Ava arched her back and pushed against him, moving her hips in little circles, increasing their pleasure. His control seemed to snap like a frayed fishing line.

Luke’s body came down against hers as he planted his hands on the mattress beside her, caging her in and holding her still for his loving. He moved in and out, fucking her. She knew, even with the blindfold, that he was watching every move and listening to every sound she made. As her passion mounted again, his gentle thrusts became harder, faster. His balls slapped her clit with each inward stroke. She felt a warm hand palming her right breast. Luke’s tongue drifted back and forth over her shoulder, then his teeth nibbled at the tendon. He sucked and teased, while his hips drove into her. Over and over again, until Ava flung her head back and shouted out his name. Her climax built and built. Inner muscles squeezed his dick tight. His body slammed into hers one last time, and then he was filling her with his hot seed.

They both collapsed onto the bed, Luke on top of her limp body.

She didn’t care. Having Luke on top made her feel safe, loved even. Strong fingers pulled off her blindfold, then untied her hands.

She squeezed her eyes shut to the brightness of the room.

“You are a surprise, Ava Sweet. An amazing, sexy, surprise.”

She didn’t know what to say to that, so she stayed quiet. He kissed her cheek, then pulled his cock free and left the bed—to dispose of the condom she assumed. When he came back, she was half-asleep already. Had it not been for his next words, she would have drifted into a cozy little REM state.

“Tomorrow, we’ll talk.”

And so, Ava’s pleasure bubble popped.

Forbidden Fruit: Chapter 5

“There it’s gone. But the next time you have a rat or a
field
mouse,”
she said, rolling her eyes, “you don’t need to call me, just get a cat and let nature take its course.”

Luke scowled, looking all the more adorable for it. “Look, I could give a flying fuck about the mouse. I wanted to see you, Ava.”

Her stomach bottomed out. Here it comes. The big let down.

Luke was already regretting their night together. This was exactly what she’d been trying to avoid.

In an effort to dodge the uncomfortable morning after discus-sion, she’d slipped out of his bed and walked barefoot the few blocks back to her house in the wee hours of the morning. She’d used that time to give into a good long cry too. Now it was Sunday afternoon and she was forced to face him again. Life was too cruel sometimes.

“Well, here I am.”

Luke crossed the room so they were only inches apart. “Why’d you leave me, baby? I’ve been going crazy. You wouldn’t return my phone calls. I stopped by your place half dozen times yesterday and you refused to answer the door. If it hadn’t been for the mouse, you’d still be avoiding me.”

She sighed. “We’re no good together. Friday night was a mis-take, Luke, you and I both know it.” She started to back her way towards the door. “Let’s just forget it ever happened.”

Luke’s eyes roamed over her body, igniting her on fire with the heat in his gaze. “I’ll never forget the way you looked in my bed. And I sure as hell won’t forget how pretty you are when you come.”

Ava threw her hands in the air and yelled, “Why are you doing this?”

Luke closed the distance between them and took her into his arms, then kissed her senseless. His warm lips coaxed hers to open.

Ava was helpless to deny him. The instant she parted, he was there, teasing and setting off a million different feelings at once. His hand fisted in her hair and he pulled her head back for better access. Her body arched against his and she felt the unmistakable evidence of his arousal. Knowing where he was headed, Ava pushed against his chest and yanked out of his arms.

She was panting and on edge when she demanded, “Look at me, Luke. Really look. These jeans and t-shirt, this is the real me. This is who I am.”

He looked. His eyes a possessive brand as they journeyed from her tennis shoes to her plain white t-shirt. “You look sweet and innocent and so hot I’m ready to push you against the door and fuck you until you moan my name.”

Ava groaned and dropped her head into her hands. “Oh, God.”

A moment or two later, she felt strong fingers beneath her chin, coaxing her to lift her head. When she did, it was to see Luke holding a puppy.
A puppy?
She reached out and stroked. It was the cutest little black and white puppy she’d ever seen.

“Oh, aren’t you just so adorable!” Ava murmured, her anger disappearing in an instant, completely enchanted with the tiny bundle of joy. “Where’d you come from, Oreo?”

Luke’s brow shot up. “You’ve given her a name already?”

Ava blinked. “Sorry. She just looks like an Oreo, I guess.”
