PART 1

 

Lust…

 

It was all she could feel as she followed the swift movements of his hands. He had big hands. Big, strong… She could imagine how they would feel on her skin. She shivered at the thought.

 

He handed her the coffee cup without once looking up. She took it carefully, not letting their fingers touch. Who knew what could happen if they touched? He was killing her just by existing…

 

“Tall, black,” he said distractedly to her, and gave her the change.

 

Tall. She always ordered tall. That way she could spend more time there pretending not to watch him.

 

She took the coffee and made her way to her table. She positioned herself at the perfect spot where she knew she could watch him without being too obvious, and opened her book.

 

It had been a month since she had moved there. The place wasn’t her first choice, but it was cheap and just had to do until she could afford better. Her apartment was on the fourth floor of the coffee shop’s building. Yeah, lucky for her. It made it quite easy to see him every day.

 

She had first seen him the night after she moved in. Having nothing to eat, she had found herself downstairs in front of the closed coffee shop. She had stood there unmoving for what seemed like an eternity, and watched him sweep the floor.

 

She was 24 years old. She had seen topless guys before. She had seen plenty of naked guys in college actually, but none of them had prepared her for the way he looked. She had found herself trembling as she watched the way his muscles moved, the way sweat trickled down his chest… Completely forgetting about food, she had run back upstairs with wobbly knees.

 

She had become addicted to watching him in the last few weeks. There was something about him. She wasn’t denying being horny. But it wasn’t totally about that. He wasn’t just a good looking guy she wanted to fulfil her need with. It was scary to even think that, but she was starting to believe that he was the need.

 

Turning another unread page of the book, she tried to keep her eyes away from him. One day… One day she was going to either stop watching or finally do something extremely stupid. One day…

 

- - -

 

“So, Guerin… Are you still refusing to make a move?”

 

Michael Guerin turned his death glare to Kyle Valenti. Could his day get any worse? The guy was a complete jackass, but Michael had to bite his lip and stop himself from snapping at him. It wouldn’t be a good idea since he was working for the jerk’s father. It was sad, but he needed the pathetic excuse for a job.

 

“What are you talking about Kyle?”

 

“The blonde chick, she’s hot!” Kyle said with a grin that made Michael want to puke.

 

He looked over to the corner table where she always sat, and let himself see her. Her hair was wild, wavy and falling around her face. She was small. And delicate. Yes, he knew she had delicate hands, he had delivered her coffee for long enough to notice that.

 

Her small hand reached up to push a strand of hair behind her ear as he watched, and their eyes met for a brief moment. Time stopped, and he froze where he stood, unable to look away. She had green eyes. Long eyelashes. Pink lips. Then everything turned back to normal, and she lowered her head to her book, letting her hair cover her blush.

 

She looked beautiful when she blushed.

 

Michael jerked away in disgust when Kyle put his arm over his shoulder. “She wants you,” he stated.

 

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Michael muttered as he kept himself busy arranging cups.

 

“Hey, you know, I can get lucky if you’re not interested…”

 

Kyle smirked at Michael’s obvious discomfort, and shook his head. The guy was just clueless…

Maria walked down the crowded street, hopping like a little girl as she watched the twinkling lights everywhere. It was funny to watch so many people get all flustered over a holiday. They were buying presents, trees and food in a haste to make Christmas perfect for their families. No one was going to use those presents, and half the food was going to be thrown away. Trees were going to die, and the sweet panic of another past Christmas would be locked away in people’s memories in a couple of days.

 

Except for her.

 

She didn’t have a family to share Christmas with anymore. She didn’t have anyone to buy presents for. Most of the time she enjoyed living alone, and not having to explain her every action to everyone. Freedom… It felt good. Powerful. But sometimes… Sometimes she was just lonely. Sometimes she just needed someone else’s warmth.

 

Stopping in front of a red and white window display, she thought about buying a tree for her apartment. It could make her feel a little more Christmassy maybe. But seeing the prices, she quickly changed her mind. She couldn’t chance starving just to make herself feel up to singing Jingle Bells.

 

She entered the coffee shop soaking wet, water dripping from her hair. The only thing worse than a lonely Christmas was a rainy Christmas. Wasn’t it supposed to be snowing? Didn’t they have laws for that kind of thing?

 

Taking off her coat, she sat at the counter with the dream of a hot chocolate. She usually never sat at the counter. It was too close. Watching from afar was okay, but being close enough to touch was dangerous. She had started to confuse reality with fantasy a long time ago when it came to him. She needed to believe she was still sane, and kissing the guy out of nowhere would make that really hard.

 

At that moment, cold and wet, all she could think about was drinking something hot, and doing it fast. The stools at the counter were much closer to the hot liquids she knew they were hiding back there. She wasn’t capable of thinking any further than that.

 

Her eyes caught movement at the other side and she reached to grab the familiar brown haired guy’s arm. “Can I have a hot chocolate please?”

 

Kyle smirked at the girl and looked around for a cup. Where the hell did Guerin keep those?

 

Filling a cup he hoped was clean with something he thought was hot chocolate, he handed it to the girl. “Here you go.”

 

She grabbed the cup and drank the brown liquid without even tasting it. It was hot and that was enough.

 

After she finished her first cup, she noticed the guy leaning against the wall, watching her. She rose her eyebrow questioningly at him. What the hell was his problem?

 

“Kyle Valenti,” he said, extending his hand to her.

 

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to be nice. It was Christmas after all. “Maria DeLuca. Nice to meet you.”

 

“So, Ms DeLuca,” Kyle said slyly, leaning towards her above the counter. “…Do you live close to here? I always see you around.”

 

“I do actually,” Maria stated, already sorry that she had decided to play nice for once.

 

“You always come alone. Such a shame. A beautiful lady like you…”

 

Kyle’s words were cut short with the sound of a banging door. Michael Guerin placed one firm hand on his shoulder, and pulled him slightly back, away from Maria. “Kyle, you can leave now, I can handle the rest.”

 

Maria's heart fluttered in her chest, and her body started to throb all over with the knowledge that he was so close. She wanted to close her eyes, and just listen to his voice. She was sure it would be enough to carry her over the edge all by itself, but his face so close was too much of a temptation.

 

Kyle mumbled a silent goodbye, and headed out. She wasn’t that hot anyway. Definitely not hot enough to get beaten up by the big bad Guerin. That guy had problems… and muscles…

 

Michael kept his hands busy and his eyes away from the only customer in the shop. She was staring. That was a first. She was just staring at him wide eyed with a shocked expression on her face. It was starting to get to him.

 

He stopped in front of her, and sighed in exasperation. Meeting her eyes dead on, he tried to keep his back off glare. She ducked her head and blushed. Damn, she looked so hot when she blushed.

 

Her ivory skin was now a little pink around her cheeks. Her hair was wet and plastered around her face, making her look like a lost puppy. He gulped when his eyes travelled down, and her cleavage entered his view. He tried to push away the pictures of her naked breasts from his mind. Not good. Undressing customers was so not good.

 

Her eyes met his, her blush deepening every second, and he felt trapped. Even though he knew she had no idea what he had been thinking about, it felt terrible to get caught like that. He probably had guilty written all over him.

 

She wet her lips, gathering her courage to talk without squeaking. Her mind screamed too close as she found herself getting fast away from reality. It was just two words she needed to say, but it took all her strength to get them out.

 

“Thank you,” she said with the most soft and melodic voice he'd ever heard. His brow creased for a moment as he tried to figure out what she was talking about. He hadn't served her, and he hadn't talked to her… Oh… Kyle…

 

He nodded once, terrified of saying something stupid if he talked.

 

Pushing the cup away, she stood up abruptly. That wasn’t good. She had started to think about how he would smell, and pictured herself burying her face in his neck. That couldn’t be good. She had to get out before she embarrassed herself.

 

With one small smile that made his stomach muscles clench and flutter, she ran outside into the pouring rain. When she was out of his sight he took a deep breath and went back to work, his mind starting to create pictures of her he knew he wouldn’t be able to shake away.

 

 

 

PART 2

 

Maria was sitting cuddled in her comforter in her way too small balcony, sipping her milk and watching the stars when she heard the familiar roar of the engine. She looked down, her heart already running a mile a minute, and watched as he sped away on his bike.

 

Damn! He just had to have a bike, didn’t he?! She had always had a thing for the image of the biker rebel type, and seeing him, her sex god in black jeans, straddle the machine was just too much for her poor old heart. The way his hair flew in the wind, and his strong hands gripping the…

 

Okay, stop, stop, stop!!

 

She had started to pant just from the thought. She didn’t need to torture herself further by getting all hot and flustered with only her teddy bear waiting for her in her bed.

 

She sighed and hugged the comforter closer. It was nothing new. Just another lonely night. She could make it through. She knew she could.

 

- - -

 

Michael was enjoying the silence. It wasn’t everyday that he got to relax and be alone in the damn shop. The place was constantly swarming with people. Not tonight though. Tonight he was going to enjoy making easy money. Everyone was enjoying Christmas Eve with their families. He had no idea why they were supposed to be open, but he wasn’t about to complain. Extra cash was always welcome.

 

He sighed and cursed inwardly when he heard the door open. Just his luck!

 

He stood up slowly, scowling without a care about what the customer might think. The damn customer was invading his peaceful night, and he was intent on making his discomfort known.

 

He froze in his spot when he saw who was standing in front of him.

 

The blonde girl, in her pyjamas…

 

What the hell…?

 

She was hugging herself uncomfortably, her face frozen from the cold wind outside. He suspected that the things she wore did almost nothing to warm her up. His eyes roamed over her body. They definitely did nothing to hide what was underneath. His eyes found her feet and he looked at her questioningly.

 

“You forgot to wear shoes.”

 

“I know,” she said nodding, an expression of distress on her face. “I…I kinda left in a hurry.”

 

“I can see that,” he said looking at her pyjamas. They were cute. Childish. Not sexy. Then why the hell was he finding it hard to breathe?

 

“I… Uh…” she looked around anxiously. “I kinda need a little help. Can you come with me upstairs for a second?”

 

He looked around, there was no one to cover for him. But the place was empty anyway. Should he just… What did she need help for? He forced the naughty thoughts away from his mind. This was real life, things didn’t work here like they did in porn movies.

 

Nodding to her once, he grabbed the keys and followed her.

 

- - -

 

“That’s it, right here…”

 

She opened the door with the spare key she kept under the doormat, and entered the apartment with caution. She was just walking in with her bare feet when she heard his firm voice.

 

“Wait!”

 

She followed his gaze and saw the pieces of her favourite mug right in front of her. She had completely forgotten about dropping it. Kneeling to gather the pieces, she pointed him to the bathroom.

 

“It’s in there. But be careful. It’s huge!”

 

He tried to hide his smile at her wide eyes. So naïve.

 

Spotting the huge cockroach on the tiled floor, he casually raised his foot to step on the problem. His boots seemed like the easiest solution.

 

“Nooo!!!”

 

He stopped and turned around to face her. What was her problem now? She ran inside and came back with an empty jar. He looked stupefied as he took it from her. What was that supposed to mean? What were they going to do with a jar?

 

“Put it in the jar,” she explained, looking at him like he should have guessed it.

 

“What? You’ll keep the bug?”

 

She stepped back a little as he tried to force the cockroach in with the lid of the jar. “No… I just… don’t want to kill it.”

 

“What are you gonna do with it?” he asked, watching the bug as it tried to crawl out.

 

“I don’t know. Throw it out I guess.”

 

“It’ll come back. You should kill it.”

 

“No! I don’t feel like killing anybody tonight.”

 

Michael smirked, “Good to know.”

 

They stood there for a moment, looking at each other. Time stopped, and the world around them blurred. The girl -he still didn’t know her name- was shining. She looked like a mirage with her golden hair, green eyes and pink lips…

 

He shook himself to stop staring. This wasn’t right. He wasn’t supposed to be there. He wasn’t supposed to complicate his life again. He needed simplicity. He wanted it. Working in a coffee shop was simple. Going home and watching TV was simple. Standing in a beautiful young woman’s apartment in the middle of the night definitely wasn’t.

 

He held out the jar to her absentmindedly, and jerked it away when a shriek escaped her lips. “Uh… Sorry. You want me to take this?”

 

“Yes! Please, thank you.” Nodding once, he headed towards the door.

 

- - -

 

Michael was sitting in the shop alone, bored out of his mind, talking to the cockroach in the jar.

 

“You’re a lucky bastard, I would have killed you if not for her.”

 

His brow furrowed as he found himself thinking about her once again. He had wanted to kiss her so badly. But that thought was leading to others, like pushing her up against a wall and tearing her clothes off. He didn’t need another woman in his life. Another woman who would seem like an angel at first, but in time turn into a demanding, blood sucking vampire. He was through with women. He didn’t want them. Nope. He didn’t…

 

He looked around to find something to feed to the bug, but all they had around was coffee beans. He didn’t think it would go for that. He tapped on the glass to get its attention. “What do you guys eat?”

 

“You can try sugar…”

 

His heart skipped a beat. She was there. Again. In her pyjamas.

 

Damn…

 

“You have shoes this time…” he stated looking at her feet.

 

“Yeah,” she said, slowly walking closer to him.

 

She sat down on a stool in front of him, and extended her hand to him. “Maria DeLuca.”

 

He gulped and touched her hand tentatively. Delicate. Soft. Just like he thought they would feel. “Michael Guerin.”

 

She gave him a shy smile, and ducked her head slightly. “So… you’re keeping my cockroach?”

 

He chuckled. “It was keeping me company.”

 

“Why are you working tonight?”

 

He pushed the jar away from where she was sitting, and shrugged. “Got nothing better to do.”

 

“I know… Me too…” she said, her eyes lingering on his face.

 

“You know… Uh… I…” Why she was suddenly stuttering, she had no idea. She had the whole conversation planned in her head before she entered the shop, but now, under his intense gaze, she couldn’t remember a word of it. “You can… you know… come upstairs if you want… after work or something. Tonight… or tomorrow night… of course if you have nothing better to do… which I'm sure you do… But I’ll try to cook… and I don’t have anything else to do…”

 

She closed her eyes tightly, and counted inwardly to ten. That had been lame. Really really lame. She stood up abruptly. “Uh… You know what… I…”

 

She turned to leave, but changed her mind before she could take one step away, and faced him again. “Are you married?” she asked suddenly, looking in his eyes to see the truth.

 

“No.”

 

“Are you in a committed relationship?”

 

“No,” Michael said, and swallowed hard as she took a step closer to him.

 

“Okay,” she said under her breath, and her eyes dropped to his lips. Perfect. She had imagined how they would feel a million times. Her hand came up to softly touch his chin and trace his slightly parted lips.

 

“I'm going to kiss you then,” she said in a hoarse whisper, her chest heaving with her laboured breathing.

 

Michael watched in slow motion as she raised on her toes, and pushing herself up on the counter with her hands, pressed her lips to his.

 

 

 

PART 3

 

It was supposed to be a soft kiss. That was what she’d had in mind. She was going to kiss him to prove to herself that he wasn’t anything out of this world, and that she wasn’t a coward. But once their lips touched, and she felt his hands cup her face, she knew there was no way in hell she could keep the kiss innocent.

 

Her lips moved against his sensually. Soft. Warm. He opened his mouth greedily, and tasted her. Sweet. There was a small voice at the back of his mind telling him to slow down, but he pushed it away. It was already too late.

 

He tried to pull her closer to feel her against him, but then remembered the counter between them. Damn! How was he going to get to the other side without breaking the kiss?

 

Convincing himself that she wouldn’t run away if he let her go just for a couple of seconds, he pulled back slightly. He looked at her face; her eyes were closed, her lips were red and she was breathing hard. The sight awoke something primal inside him. He had to touch… feel… taste…

 

His eyes drifted to the glass doors right behind her, and he saw a couple walking by. Lights. He had to get to the light switch.

 

Moving faster than he'd ever done before, he reached for the light switch. Satisfied with the dim light in the room coming from the street lamp, he jumped over the counter to get to her. There she was; still standing in her pyjamas, her chest heaving with every excited breath she took.

 

Unwilling to listen to reason, he wrapped his arms around her slim waist and pulled her body flush against his. Warm and soft. Just as he imagined. Just as she looked. Her eyes were still closed, and her lips were searching for his in a daze. He would have watched her face all night if the desire hadn’t been so maddening. He took her lips again in a searing kiss, and let go of his remaining control with the feel of her hands in his hair.

 

Their tongues fought a battle neither wanted to win as his hands dared to slip under her top. Her skin was as smooth as it looked. He let his hands travel up her chest, one word echoing in his head. Cream. She felt like cream.

 

Her head fell back and broke their kiss when the hands she'd dreamt about for so long touched her breasts. He groaned when he felt her skin without any restrictions. No bra. Damn! He wasn’t ready for this.

 

But ready or not, she was there, and he wasn’t about to let go.

 

His lips kissed a trail of fire down her neck, making her knees so weak that she had to lean against the counter behind her to stay standing. Her hands gripped his shoulders, strong and firm under her touch. She had always thought that she was above the strong man fetish most women seemed to have… Well… She'd been wrong.

 

Even his scent was strong. Masculine. His large hands, cupping her breasts, were moving slowly, kneading the soft flesh, and she wanted to scream for him to hold her harder, stronger, pull her closer until she couldn’t breathe.

 

His lips reached the cotton pyjama top covering her, and he growled in frustration. He pulled his hands away from her breasts to unbutton the annoying piece of clothing, and couldn’t help but feel triumphant when she gasped at the loss of his touch.

 

He unbuttoned her top slowly, his heart thumping loudly in his chest. His breathing was laboured and erratic, and it was the only sound in the room. He held his breath as the soft material slipped down her shoulders to expose the creamy white skin of her chest.

 

Suddenly he was a teenager again, about to have a heart attack from excitement. She was… exquisite. His hands tentatively reached to touch her waist once more. He was too scared to place them any higher.

 

He enjoyed the view for a moment. Her too large pyjama bottoms were folded low on her hips, showing her taut stomach. A blush rose from her ivory breasts to her neck as he gazed at her freely, apparently making her feel self-conscious. It only made him want to watch her more.

 

It was perfection. Her dark pink nipples were erect and taunting him with every rise and fall of her chest. The curve of her breasts, the way she arched her neck… Her every move was graceful. And definitely sexy.

 

Finally his eyes settled on her face, and he frowned. Her eyes were still closed.

 

He took a step closer to her, mating their lower bodies. She gasped and swallowed hard when she felt his erection pressing against her through their clothes. He wanted her, that was for sure. Why was she still so scared?

 

He leaned closer, and whispered to her ear, his breath scorching her skin. “Maria, open your eyes.”

 

All she could manage was to let out a whimper as he nipped through her jawline. He whispered again when his lips reached hers. “Maria…”

 

He pulled back to watch her face after giving her a brief, soft kiss. Her eyes slowly opened, like the act itself was a torture to her, and she looked right at him with a hunger he hadn't expected to see.

 

Green. Bright green. He could swear that they saw right through his soul. She was an angel, or a fairy, or… He wasn’t sure what… Something magical… Entrancing…

 

His hand, so big and strong that it could crush her easily, reached up to caress her cheek. His touch had a gentleness she would have never thought he had in him. She had imagined him wild, demanding, forceful… Not gentle…

 

She leaned in to his touch and moaned, unable to control herself anymore. His knees trembled. Looking deep in his eyes, with one soft moan she had abandoned herself to him. A part of him wished to have never asked her to open her eyes. It would have kept things from getting deeper, and more meaningful. Not that it was now. It was just…

 

Oh hell… He was beyond caring…

 

His lips covered one nipple, causing her to let out a guttural moan and arch her back towards him, as his other hand held her other breast. Her hands grabbed his head, pulling him closer to make him take more of her in his mouth. At that moment, he would have swallowed her whole if he could. He was craving for her skin.

 

He tasted every inch of her chest until her impatient hands started to pull up his t-shirt. He was setting her on fire, and causing the desire she held for him to intensify with every touch. It felt like the only thing that could satisfy her need was his skin, but a part of her knew that it would only make her want more of him. She couldn’t foresee an end for the hunger he made her feel.

 

Dropping his t-shirt on the floor, her hands touched his skin in awe. He was more than she remembered. Her lips attacked his chest without wasting one moment with hesitation. She had wanted to taste him for a month now. She wouldn’t be able to stop herself even if she wanted to.

 

He was struggling to stay upright as her mouth moved along his chest, sucking his flesh greedily, biting his nipples… His legs were getting weak, and his erection was almost unbearable. He had to stop her.

 

His fingers delved in her hair, and softly pulled her away from the hickey she’d been so intently working on. Her dazed look and flushed cheeks made him groan again. She was going to be the death of him, that was for sure. “Maria…”

 

Her lips silenced him before he could say more, and again he found himself getting lost in her taste.

 

Grabbing her thighs, he wrapped her legs around him. Her centre grinding to his erection made him move faster, and he found a nearby booth to place her on. Her hands flew to his jeans as soon as he pulled back from her, but he pushed them away. He had other plans.

 

Maria… on a table… naked…

 

Oh yeah… A perfect meal…

 

Wrapping one arm around her waist, he lifted her up enough to pull her pyjama bottoms down along with her panties. His hand lingered on the perfectly smooth curve of her hips, and closing his eyes, he enjoyed the feel before he actually let himself see her.

 

Slowly, he lowered her on the table and gently pushed her to lay her down on it. He took his time to let her get accustomed to the cool surface. Her skin was too tender for a rough place like that, but upstairs was way too far away. He lacked the patience.

 

It was just as he had imagined. Silky white on the brown old table… She was shining.

 

His hand parted her thighs as he trailed kisses down her torso. His fingers touched the moist curls he revealed, and his tongue lapped at her navel, causing her to moan and move her hips to meet his fingers. Neither of them had any more patience left.

 

Parting her lower lips with his fingers and tongue at once, he felt dizzy with her scent and tangy taste assaulting his senses. Her fingers gripped his hair to pull him closer as if he wouldn’t have moved closer if it was physically possible. Her hips rocked uncontrollably, and she moaned her appreciation to him in abandon.

 

Michael just moved his fingers inside her expertly as his tongue caressed her moist heat the way he could see she liked. To him, motions had lost their importance. He was enjoying having her. He had her with the most primal meaning of the word. Maybe not for long. Maybe it was only for a short period of time. But at that perfect moment, as her little feet caressed the skin of his back, she was everything… And she was his.

 

“Oooh… God… Please, please, please, please…”

 

She wasn’t even sure what she was begging for. Her body was burning from the inside out. Her throat was hurting, and her lips felt dry. There was a fast growing ache in her abdomen, and it made her feel like she was about to explode. His fingers kept moving in and out of her, getting faster, and pushing her closer to the edge with every moment.

 

Then it happened. All of a sudden the sweet torture of his tongue was just too much to handle. Her body arched off the table and rose impossibly until the flames engulfed her, and she started falling.

 

He grabbed her hips keep them from moving, and lapped all she could give, feeling like a conqueror. Her body stopped spasming after a while, and he felt her hand tugging him up. He complied willingly, and captured her lips in a kiss as deep as a kiss could possibly get.

 

Her hands moved hurriedly down his back, and one of them snaked its way inside his jeans to caress his skin. He felt her unbutton his jeans, and sighed gratefully. It had almost been too much to take… Almost…

 

Her feet reached up to push his jeans further down with difficulty and he felt her hands cup his face with a feather-like touch. “Pleease…” she whimpered, looking in his eyes. Like she needed to ask…

 

He helped her push his boxers down, and reached for his wallet. Then he remembered…

 

Damn!

 

He closed his eyes to gather some control. He was hardly keeping his tears of frustration in check. He had removed the condom just to keep himself from doing this. What a great idea had that turned out to be!

 

“I don’t have a condom,” he told her with a wry smile, brushing his face to her navel longingly.

 

Her fingers traced his chin and tilted his head up to meet her eyes. “It’s okay,” she said, nodding her head, and watched with adoration as his lips broke into a grin.

 

He was so much… more… than she had imagined him to be.

 

 

PART 4

 

They both sighed as he slowly entered her. The feel of her around him was almost intolerable, and it was Michael’s turn to moan uncontrollably. He buried his face in her chest as he waited for his body to adjust to her heat. His lips latched on to a nipple and he bit it softly to keep himself distracted.

 

The need to move was too intense to resist, but his knees were too weak to keep him standing any longer. “I… need to sit…” he muttered to her chest, and wrapped her body around himself with the last shred of strength left in him.

 

He looked for a place to sit, but they were all either too far away, or too uncomfortable. Finally, giving up the search, he sat on the floor; on top of the clothes they had thrown there earlier.

 

He hissed in her ear when she let her weight rest on him and made him sink deeper inside her. They sat motionless to savour the feeling. His hands caressed her back and hips almost in a daze, and she placed unconscious kisses on his neck.

 

Maria could feel his heart beating against her chest… his heat enveloping her… his breath tickling her ear… His hard erection was throbbing inside her, making her feel every aching inch, and causing her already out of control desire to triple. But the soothing caress of his hands and lips were lulling her to a peaceful trance. He had a contradicting nature, and it was overwhelming her.

 

Michael was content with the feel of her, but after a while, it started to hurt not to move. With a newfound strength, his hands gripped her hips and moved her up.

 

A surprised shriek escaped her lips with the first jolt of pleasure running through her. She bit his neck to keep herself from screaming and tried to help him. It was too hard. With every move, she could feel him brush against her walls, and the friction was intolerable. She bit him harder, and hugging his body close, she let him move her.

 

It was impossible to stop; yet, he was sure the movement was going to kill him. Her lips on his neck were providing a little distraction, but it wasn’t enough. Maybe if she cut his arm, he would stop feeling the torture he was inflicting on himself.

 

It was too hot. Their bodies were slick with their combined sweat. He could feel the cool air hit his heated skin, but it was nowhere near enough to cool down the heat rising from inside him. Flames… He could feel the flames.

 

Her whimpers rose to screams as he sped up, and he felt her body start to tremble in his arms. Was she cold? She felt hot. It scared him to think she could be hurt or sick. There was a feeling he'd felt his entire life, the fear of hurting something precious and vulnerable, it suddenly hit him like a ton of bricks. Had he been too rough? He cursed himself for getting so lost, and slowed down his pace.

 

She felt him stop and let out a whining moan. She simply could not stop now. It wasn’t possible. She didn’t care if the world ended at that moment. He had to keep moving.

 

His hands pulled her body slightly away from his to see her face, and make sure she was okay. Deep green eyes met his, and he forgot what he was about to say. The look in her eyes… The hunger… The need… The lust… Her lips were parted, slightly pouting; her breath was coming out in pants…

 

Her hand touched his face, and her fingers moved along his skin sensually. She caressed his lips, and let out a moan when he licked her finger. Her lips crashed on his forcefully, and her hips started to rock in tandem with her tongue. She was fierce. He had never been with a woman like her before. He had never known he liked women like her. Actually, he really wasn’t sure if there were any other women like her…

 

She growled and bit his lip to get him moving, and he remembered what he'd been about to say.

 

His hands held her shoulders. She was still trembling. He pulled back, and stuttered, “You… You're trembling…”

 

She watched his face in awe. He was surprising. He was everything he appeared to be and more. He was dangerous.

 

Her lips formed the brightest smile he'd ever seen, and he found himself gaping at the glowing beauty in front of him. She was enchanting, and he was spellbound. He was completely against that. He had never let that happen with any woman, and he wasn’t going to start now. But he could let it happen just for a little while… Just for tonight… It was so easy to give in.

 

“I'm okay…” she said, still smiling at him. “I'm more than okay…”

 

“Are you sure?”

 

She slowly rocked her hips and hissed at the sensation. “Yess…” she whispered to him. She’d never been better.

Her head fell back and he felt her abandon herself to his arms like a puppet. He took one taunting nipple in his mouth, and suckled, as if he could summon her strength back that way.

 

All he got in response was a low moan.

 

Burying a hand in her soft hair, he pulled her head up to see her face. He kissed her softly, and whispered against her lips, “What baby? What do you need?”

 

“Michael…” She moaned his name, her forehead meeting his, her eyes open in slits.

“Harder…” she gasped, accepting his kisses, too exhausted to kiss him back as hard as she yearned.

 

He complied. How could he not?

 

His arms were hurting, but he didn’t care. He moved her higher, and impaled down on himself harder, causing her to cry out, “Yess…”

 

He moved furiously, her
