I couldn’t help but grin. “Happily ever after, huh?”
His lips quirked up on one side. “Yeah. Happily ever fuckin’ after.”
“OK, then. Because that’s what I want. I just never thought I’d have it.”
“Why?” He tilted his head to the side, genuinely curious.
“Because of my dad. You’re right. He’s never going to be satisfied with any man I want to date.”
“Good thing we’re not datin’ then, huh?”
“We’re not?”
“Oh no, baby. This isn’t me datin’ you. This is me claiming you for my own.”
“Then I’m claiming you as well.”
“Pretty sure that’s the way it goes.” He grinned. Then he fisted his hand in the hair at the back of my head before kissing me.
There wasn’t pain so much as a slight sting where he moved my head with my hair. Surprisingly, the little bite of pain only made things that much more intense. I moaned as he kissed me with wicked strokes of his tongue. It wasn’t long before I found myself giving as good as I was getting.
“So fuckin’ sweet. I’m gonna make you so fuckin’ happy, Dawn. Give you more fuckin’ pleasure than you ever dreamed.”
“Ice…”
He kissed me again, wrapping me up tighter while he stood and carried me to his room. The next thing I knew, he’d laid me on the bed and covered me with his own large frame. I hugged his hips with my thighs as I looked up into his rugged, handsome face.
“This only goes as far as you want, honey.” He gently stroked my face before leaning in to kiss my chin. “If you get scared or just change your mind, you can always stop me.”
I shook my head. “Don’t want to stop you. I want this. I want you.”
He gave me a sexy smirk. “Good.”
Then he was kissing me again.
The wind raged outside, the windows rattled as debris pelted the hotel, but all I cared about was the sounds coming from this man as he grunted his approval when I surrendered to him.
I loved the feel of his arms winding around me, holding me to him. The way his body mashed so securely against mine. His weight was heavy, pressing me into the mattress, but it was a comforting weight. I knew beyond any doubt that Ice would protect me from anything. The storm. David. Even my father if he thought he had to. And he might just. Not that I believed my dad would hurt me or anything, but if he tried to make Ice leave me, I’d be devastated.
He made his way from my mouth to the column of my neck, kissing and nipping the whole way. I shivered, whimpering as he kissed my collarbone and nudged the T-shirt neck out of his way to go lower.
“Need to lose this shirt, baby. Objections?”
I shook my head. When he pushed his weight off me, I tried to shimmy out of the shirt, but it got stuck between my back and the mattress. My mind was such a muddled mess of lust and need, I couldn’t seem to figure out how to get the fucking thing off!
His warm chuckle should have offended me, but when I saw his cock proudly tenting his shorts, all I could do was stare at him with my mouth watering. “Let me help you.” Instead of pulling it all the way off, he shoved it up over my bare breasts before he froze. “Fuck… me…” He scrubbed a hand over his mouth, his gaze zeroing in on my breasts.
Before I could ask what was wrong, he let out what sounded like a defeated groan and latched on to one nipple with his mouth, sucking strongly. I cried out, my hands going to his hair. I’d intended on pushing him away but ended up wrapping my arms around his head and holding him to me tightly.
He grunted before sliding down my body -- still latched on to my nipple -- and wrapped his arms around me once again while he feasted.
I think he took my whole breast into his mouth while he flicked and licked my hard peak only to occasionally suck it before he moved to the other side. He lavished the same attention on that breast, his short beard abrading my sensitive skin in the most tantalizing way. The more he did it, the more out of control I felt. My pussy clenched and my clit ached and throbbed where it brushed lightly against his stomach through my shorts.
Vaguely, I could hear the wind picking up, but it might have been the roaring in my ears as Ice continued to drive me higher and higher. The pleasure was indescribable! Was sex always like this? Is this what I’d been missing out on by not sleeping with David?
No. I knew that with absolute certainty the second the question popped into my head because I’d never had this level of attraction to David. Not in any way. Maybe it was the danger we’d faced together. The way he’d protected me and helped me. Kept me centered. All I knew was I was absolutely certain that, if Ice didn’t fuck me right here and now, I would die. Simple as that. Something inside me would explode and I’d die right fucking here.
