I kiss her again, forcefully parting her lips with my own, plundering her mouth with my tongue.
She breaks away, panting. “You were meant to be one of the good guys.”
I smile against her lips and kiss her again. “I am. I’m so good, baby. Just pretend you never figured it out. All you need to remember is that I can protect you and make you feel so, so safe.” I slide my hand down to cup her sex. Alaina gasps, her thighs clenching around my fingers. She grabs my wrist to pull me away, but I’m too strong for her. She grinds against my fingers. I think she’s trying to escape, but the effect is only to work me against her clit.
I help her out and rub her harder. I can feel the peachy cleft of her pussy through her jeans, and make out her swollen clit. Fuck. Alaina’s clit. I’m about to get everything I ever wanted.
“I can still be that good man for you,” I purr, playing with her and watching the sensations flicker over her beautiful face.
She squeezes her eyes shut and shakes her head from side to side. “You’re kidding yourself if you think you’re a good man.”
“Let me have one bad thing, Alaina,” I whisper in her ear. “I’m a fucking angel in every other way, but I lose my head when it comes to you.” I unbutton her jeans and pull them down and off her legs, along with her underwear. She’s glistening wet, and the sight makes me rock hard. I slide two fingers up and down on her clit, again and again.
“Be my bad thing, baby.”
Her breasts are lifting and falling faster and faster. Just before she climaxes, I take my fingers away, denying her the release. Alaina lets out a moan of protest but chokes it off when she realizes what she’s done.
I’m not giving her what she wants yet. Not until I get what I want.
I push her onto her back and spread her legs open. Her shiny pink sex is right there in front of my face.
“No, please. Don’t,” she moans.
“I thought you’d be dying to come on a man’s thick cock after abusing those dildos for so long.”
She sucks in a startled breath. Yeah, I’ve been watching you, baby. You pound yourself so goddamn hard with those things. My girl can really put on a show.
“What’s Mitchell? Five inches? Five and a half? I forget exactly what you confessed to your friend on that phone call.”
“Shut up,” she whispers, her hand covering her eyes. The other grips my wrist and tightens as I take my first lick of her, and her whole body jumps.
I groan at the taste of her, and the firmness of her clit against my tongue. It’s just how I imagined.
Alaina’s so close to coming that I toy with her, licking around her clit as I talk, keeping her right on that blazing edge. “I know about the dirty books you read, too. Mafia men and billionaires kidnapping virgins to deflower on their yachts. I’m giving you what you crave. You should say thank you.”
I look up and smile, seeing she’s too lost in what I’m doing to her to speak.
“It is you know.”
“Is what?” she pants.
I sit up and place her hand against my cock, hard and outlined through my pants. I can’t give her a handsome lover but I can leave her in a boneless daze after being fucked by me. “Good and thick.”
She touches me slowly, feeling me from the base right to the tip. Her mouth falls open as she learns my shape and length through my pants.
I tip my head back and groan. “That’s heaven, baby.”
I’ve taken my hand away and I’m not actually forcing her to touch me. A moment later, she realizes it and snatches her hand back. “I thought you were a good man and that’s why I came to you for help, but you’re cruel. You’re—”
I unbutton my shirt and shrug out of it.
Alaina sucks in a breath. “Holy hell.”
I was impatient as a younger man for Alaina to notice me, but she sees me now. She reaches out a hand and runs her fingertips over the muscles of my chest. Down the ridges of my abdominal muscles to the hard line of muscle along my hips that point toward my cock.
“Do you think I’m ugly, Alaina? I know you like pretty men. I’ve never been pretty.”
“I never thought you were ugly,” she whispers. “But you knew what I was. What I am.”
I frown down at her. “What?”
She speaks so softly that I can barely hear her. “Worthless.”
I scoop her up in my arms and kiss her hard. “Don’t you dare say that,” I growl against her mouth. “You’re the most precious creature I’ve ever laid eyes on and that’s the fucking truth.”
Alaina’s eyes fill with tears. “You always wanted me to believe that. I tried, Rhys, but it’s so hard.”
I kiss away the tears, one by one. She needs me to be soft right now, so I am. I kiss her gently as I ease myself out of the rest of my clothes until we’re naked together. She kisses me back hesitantly, still afraid to touch me. Then her fingers find the tattoos on my chest and she traces them as if she’s always been curious about them. I watch her, barely breathing, as she explores me further. The ridges of my abs. The muscle over my hip bone. Then her hand brushes down the length of my cock.
Heat cascades through me. I can’t wait any longer. I push Alaina onto her back and fist my cock in my hand, dragging it through her folds. Getting the head slippery.
Alaina’s hands press against my chest, and her eyes widen in
