A Grave Exchange (4 page)

Lucius slid my loosened top down off my shoulders
.
“Oh
,
Ivy
,
you
have
the
sweetest
complexion of
peaches
and cream.”

I couldn’t respond
;
my
mind focused
on one thing
and one thing,
only
—
getting Lucius naked
.
I ripped his shirt off his shoulders and gasped
at his physique. T
rue
,
masculine
perfect
ion
met my heated gaze
.
I ran my hands over his smooth, defined, muscular chest. Leaning in, I followed the path my hands had made with my lips, kissing
my way down his chest
.
His nipples
grew
as erect as mine,
and
I wrapped my lips around one
while
pinch
ing the
other
between
my
fingers.
Lucius grabbed my hair
, lifted my head,
and cupped my chin
with
his
other
hand
.

“Ivy, please, stop, I have little control left.”

I barely registered
his words, so desperate was I for
a fast relief
.
Feverishly
,
I wrapped my legs around
his
hips, while
I
tugged his ha
ir
and pulled him in for a long
,
passionate kiss
.
I don’t know who
se
moans
filled my ears;
all I knew was the more I tasted of Lucius
,
the more I wanted
him. F
aster and faster
,
I slid up and down
on his
lap,
pressing against him
harder and harder
, riding him until
my panties
grew
so wet the
y
stuck to my skin
.

“Lucius
,
please help me.” I begg
ed
for release, speaking against his lips as we continued
our tongue duel
.

Lucius
grabbed the hem of my shirt and lifted, pulling my blouse up and over my head. He then made quick work of my bra, baring me completely to his teasing touch. Lazily, as if we had all night, he stroked my breasts, tweaked my nipples, drove me mad with desire. M
y nipples were hard as stone,
and when
I dared to look up a
t
Lucius
, I gasped at the need reflected in
his eyes
, which had grown
dark with emotion. H
is breathing raspy, slowly
he lowered
his head and ravished one nipple
.
I let out a scream and pulled hi
m
tight
ly
against my breast
.
I
rode the edge of
release,
and when
Lucius slid his fingers
beneath
my long skirt and
up
between my thighs, he found my panties
soaked.

With a low growl, he
ripped them off,
and then
both of us moaned,
and
I arched into his fingers
. S
lowly
. . . ever
so slowly
. . . he
caressed my bare skin
.

“Ivy
,
my God
,
you are exquisite.”

He
drowned out
my moans
by claiming my mouth again,
and
my body shudder
ed at
his expert touch
.
I
ground my crotch against his, and my movement caused his fingers to effortlessly slide
inside my sheath
.
I
slammed
my eyes shut
,
and my body convulsed around his fingers
,
over and over again
.

“Ivy, sweet
,
you feel so good, so tight and wet.”

I barely
made
out
his words, but
I didn’t care
—
the world could have ended right there
,
and I would never have noticed, such was the power Lucius had over me.

I started to rip open Lucius’ buttoned fly, but he pushed my hand away
.

“No
.
I cannot afford to lose control now
. W
e need to finish our talk.”

I ignored him and returned to my task,
undoing Lucius’ fly, button by painful button
. Finally, his
erect cock
broke
free and
stood
at
attention
.
I couldn’t help but stare, so beautiful was his smooth but rigid shaft. Velvet to the touch, his cock jerked when I ran my fingertips up the length. T
he tip glisten
ed with pre-cum caught in the Tiffany lamp’s glow. I grew hungry,
me
s
m
e
rized
, and
I slid off Lucius’
lap,
onto my knees
. S
lowly
,
I dragged my fingernails up
his
thighs, watching his face for reaction
. H
e looked like a fallen angel, tormented but beautiful,
and
I smiled and kissed the tip of his cock
. A
low
rumble came from
deep in his chest
, and
he rested his hands on top of
my head
. W
ith pleasure
,
I started to suck
his
cock
, breathing deeply through my nose,
adjusting to his enormous size
.
Slowly and deeply I sucked
him
in, enjoying every sensation and taste
.
I had never
taken
such pleasure from any man before
.
I felt like I had awakened, my body blossoming this autumn night
.
With wild abandon
,
I sucked faster and deeper,
and he dug his
nails into my scalp
.

“Yes, Ivy, harder
.
”

I smiled around his cock
and did as he’d requested
,
and
soon I felt
him
tightening in my mouth
. I cupped
his balls
, massaged them, until
I heard him cry out
and
his seed
burst against
the back of my throat
.
I swallowed
every drop of
the salty treat
.
Lucius grabbed me by the hair and pulled me up onto his lap again
. Holding me closely
, he
gave me a bruising
kiss
,
our tongues tasting and dueling, our breath
ing
furious and
heart
s
beat
ing hard
.
Any reservations I had left disintegrated; t
here would be no control tonight
.

Suddenly
,
Lucius picked me up
, stood,
and
then gently deposited
me
on
the loveseat
so that I lay down.

“Ivy
,
I have never wanted a woman the way I want you right now
. T
he little control I had is completely gone
. P
lease
,
tell me now if you want me to stop
,
and I will, but if you don’t, I am going to make love to you over and over again until the dawn awakens the earth.”

My heart
beat
hiccupped in my chest,
and I felt as if
a thousand fluttering butterflies swarmed around my stomach
. T
his man truly wanted me
. But
why
? Why would a man who looks like
an angel sent from heaven
want plain old, boring
me
?
I forced my mind back to what
he
had just asked of me
.

“Lucius
,
please make love to me now
.
I want you as
I have
never wanted a
nother
man.”

No sooner had the words passed my lips, than
Lucius knelt
before
me and gently kissed m
e. He
stroked
his
way down
my body
to my skirt zip
per
,
and within moments, he’d removed the last of my clothing
, sliding the material down past my hips over my quivering thighs and
off over
my
feet
.

The dawning realization
I lay
naked in front of Lucius made me conscious of my scars
. Not
since the assault had I
allowed
a man near me,
to see me without clothing to cover my ravaged flesh. And
as much as I wanted Lucius
,
shame
overwhelmed
me.

“Ivy
,
look at me, look at me now.”

I found myself starring up at
him, obeying his command.

“I love you, all of you
. E
very inch of your body is a beautiful miracle for me to savor and cherish, for me to explore and devour
. Y
ou are beautiful
.
I waited lifetimes for
you; you are mine
.”

His words shattered the wall behind which I had hid my pain, and the
tears
I’d
h
eld back
for way to
o
long fell openly in front of
a
man I
barely knew, but with whom I
was falling madly in love
.
Lucius stroked each and every tear off my face,
then
replac
ed
his finger with his mouth
and kissed away my pain. M
y eyes slid shut
,
and I savored the sensation of his tender administrations
.
He
continued raining kisses on
my face, while gently stroking my neck,
and
I arch
ed into
his touch
.

“Relax
, my
sweet,
and let
me show you real love.”

I lay back and opened my eyes
. H
is beautiful
gaze, warm and
molten grey
,
shone down on me like a light welcoming me back home
.
His mouth found my neck and
he
suckled me, his hand having traveled down to my swollen
,
erect nipples
. E
ver so gently
, he
teased the hardened nubs. Again,
I arch
ed
against him, gasped as he replaced his teasing fingers with his hot mouth, drawing a tender nipple between his lips. Back and forth between them, he moved his head from side to side, lathing my breasts with his hot tongue. Desperate moans sounded from somewhere deep within me, and I writhed beneath him, longing for release.

“Please
,
Lucius, I need you now.”
