Laces and Lace (Assassins #6) (15 page)

Her eyes searched his, as if she didn’t believe he was real either, but he planned to prove just that as soon as they got to her apartment.

“Let’s get out of the cold.”

She nodded briskly and started for inside, but he didn’t let her get far. Stopping her, he took her hand in his, lacing his fingers with hers. Her eyes looked at where their hands were joined and then back up to meet his gaze. When a small little smile curved the side of her mouth, he felt like he had been hit in the chest with a puck.

Good God, she was magnificent.

Tearing her gaze from him, she started for the building. When they entered through the large glass entrance, the guard said, “Good evening, Ms. Martin.”

“Good evening, Oscar. Have a good night.”

“You too, ma’am,” he said, his eyes wide as he took in Karson.

He wasn’t sure what that meant, but he wasn’t really worried about it. His mind was solely on Lacey. Heading to the glass elevator, he was curious to see if the whole apartment complex was made only of glass. If so, Lord help anyone who was awake because they were sure to get a show.

When the doors shut, he watched as she pressed the penthouse button before entering her card and typing a code. Impressive. She had made something of herself, and pride burned in his veins. That’s what he wanted. He wanted her to have the best of everything, and while he was sure he could have given it to her, he was glad she’d done it for herself.

When the elevator started moving up, he moved behind her, his hand still joined with hers, bringing it behind her back as his other hand moved up her hip and rested right under her breast. When she sucked in a deep breath, his cock cried out for relief. Running his nose along her jaw, he whispered, “I’ve missed you, Lacey.”

She took in another jagged breath and nodded. “I’ve missed you.”

“Good, I like that, a lot,” he whispered, his teeth grazing her jaw. “Do you still think of me?”

When the doors opened, she turned her face into his, her lips grazing the spot by his mouth before she said, “I do.”

Turning in his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said, “And you?”

He closed his eyes, his nose moving along hers as his mouth gently touched hers. There wasn’t a time when he didn’t think about her. She was constantly in his mind and his heart. Thinking that was a pretty heavy answer, he said, “Yeah, a lot.”

Her eyes glazed over, and he could feel her heart vibrating her body. Leaning down, he wrapped his arms around her below her butt and picked her up, pressing his lips to hers as her arms tightened around his neck. Carrying her out of the elevator, he paused since he didn’t know where to go.

Against his will, he pulled back and asked, “Which way to your bed, baby?”

She jerked a thumb to the left, her breath coming out fast and hot against his lips. “That way. Hurry.”

“You don’t have to tell me twice.”

As he carried her down the hall, she moved her lips along his and then his jaw, driving him completely insane. When they came slamming into a door, he prayed it was hers and she pulled away, grinning. She handed him her card, and he took it and opened the door before throwing the card on the entry floor and slamming the door shut by pressing her against it. Meeting her gaze, he saw her lips curve into another little sneaky grin as she slid to her feet, and he knew there was no coming back from this.

Unbuttoning his jacket, she pushed it down his shoulders before it fell to the ground. He then undid her scarf, his eyes never leaving hers as he undressed her so slowly it was agonizing, but he didn’t want to ever forget this moment.

The moment he had her again.

Opening her jacket, he pushed it down her arms and then to the side before going for the hem of her shirt, but her hands stopped him. “I don’t look the same as I did.”

His eyes met her worried gaze, and he shook his head. “You’re beautiful, Lacey. You’ll always be so fucking beautiful to me.”

Kissing her nose, he reached for the hem again and lifted it up and over her head. Setting his gaze on where her breasts were supposed to be, he was surprised to find that she did have breasts there and was supersurprised when he saw through her lace bra that her chest was covered with big black and white flowers. Biting his lip, he reached around her, unhooking her bra, and when the cups fell away and he could see the pure beauty of her, he almost fell to his knees to worship her. Dropping his mouth to the spot between her breasts, he pressed a soft kiss there before inhaling deeply, his eyes drifting shut.

“My God, Lacey, you’re going to kill me,” he whispered against her.

Her fingers came up into his hair, massaging his scalp as he pressed another kiss to the same spot. Looking up at her, he asked, “Can you feel me here?”

She nodded, and he could see the tears in her eyes. “Not the actual nipple, but around my chest, yes. I don’t get anything out of them though. They are really for show.”

Moving his lips up her neck, he kissed her jaw before pressing his nose against hers. Looking deep into her eyes, he said in a deep, throaty way, “Then I’ll go to the place that I know you’ll get something out of.”

Her eyes darkened in color as he trailed his lips back down her chin, her neck, the spot between her breasts, her belly button, then her hips before he slowly inched her black skirt down her legs, bringing her lace thong along with it.

“Step out, baby,” he said when he reached her ankles. She did as he asked, beautifully bare in only a pair of expensive black heels. Kissing the inside of her right knee, he made his way up, kissing and licking every inch of her delectable thighs. When he reached her center and could see her arousal glistening on her beautiful pussy, he bit down hard on his lip to keep in the groan that threatened to escape. Holding on to her hips, he heard her take in a breath, but that’s all he could hear before his heart was beating loudly in his ears.

As his thumb pressed into her hips, he traced his tongue along her bare lips, lapping up her sweetness and unable to form a coherent thought. Opening her up, he moved his tongue inside her as she arched against the door, her fingers tangling in his hair. When his tongue found her clit, her hands squeezed, pulling his hair as she cried out.

“Oh, Karson.”

“That’s right, baby. Don’t hold it in,” he said roughly against her wanton pussy.

Dipping his tongue back inside her, he was ruthless with his assault. Moving his tongue quickly against her bundle of nerves, he moved two fingers inside her and slowly fucked her with his fingers as he swirled his tongue around her taut nub. Sucking her clit into his mouth, he pressed the base of his tongue against her as he pounded his fingers inside of her, unable to go slow. He needed her to come; he needed to be deep inside her.

It didn’t take long. Soon she writhed against him, crying out his name as her body seized up and she came long and hard, squeezing his fingers with her sinful body.

Curling his fingers deep inside her, Karson kissed around her pussy, the inside of her thighs, her lips, before running his tongue slowly along the outside of her, making her squirm under his tongue. Looking up, he met her gaze as his mouth curved into a grin while she fought for breath, her chest rising and falling with each passing second. Withdrawing his fingers, he brought them into his mouth, sucking them dry of her sweetness as he stood, his cock pressing painfully into the fly of his jeans.

He placed his hands on either side of her head, looking down into her flushed face as he fought for his own breath. Man, she was stunning. Her breasts, still a beautiful masterpiece but also a beautiful tribute to her fight against cancer, rose and fell with each breath she drew in. Her body was rosy, sweat making her skin shiny as her eyes sat hooded and so intoxicating. When her hands came out, taking him by the front of his jeans, he took in a sharp breath. Pulling him to her, she kissed him long and hard as her fingers made fast work of unbuttoning his jeans and pushing them down as far as she could.

Leaning back, he pushed them down and toed out of his shoes before chucking them both to the side as his cock sprang up between them. As she ran her fingers down the velvet smoothness of him, his eyes drifted closed. There wasn’t a night that passed that he didn’t imagine her doing just this. Touching him, driving him wild with only her touch. Opening his eyes, he met her lust-filled gaze and pulled her against him, his cock pressing hard into her belly as he crashed his mouth against hers.

Backing away from the door, his hands slid down her back to her ass, squeezing her softly as he continued to kiss the hell out of her. He wanted her in the bed. He wanted to sink into her and get lost, but he couldn’t seem to stop kissing her. When her hands started stroking him as they kissed, he worried he wouldn’t make it, so he pulled away and looked around, despite her protests.

“I need a bed,” he groaned as her thumb swirled around the tip of his cock, his precome wetting her thumb.

“You’re in luck; I have one.”

His gaze met hers and he smiled. Man, he still loved her. Taking her face in his hands, he kissed her, melting against her lips. This time she pulled away and took his hand, leading him through the living room and down a hall. He walked behind her, drinking in the sight of her sweet, heart-shaped ass as it swayed side to side, causing his body to catch on fire. When she threw open her door and a huge bed came into view, he thanked the heavens above before wrapping his arms around her waist, walking the rest of the way as one.

Once at the bed, she turned in his arms and slowly lowered herself to the mattress, her eyes never leaving his. When her tongue ran along her bottom lip, her eyes darkened, and she was basically the hottest fucking woman in the whole entire world. Karson’s nails bit into his palm as he begged for restraint. If he didn’t find some quick, he was going to pound into this woman, and he didn’t want that. He wanted to enjoy her, he wanted to savor her, but when she moved back on the bed, her eyes beckoning him to follow before slowly letting her legs fall apart so he could get a fucking great look, control, restraint, and anything else went out the damn window.

Covering her body with his, he pressed into her, kissing along her neck and shoulders before capturing her behind the knee and opening her up for him. Leaning back on his haunches, he took his cock in his hand and went to direct himself into her, but she stopped him.

“Condom.”

He met her heated gaze. “Do I need one?”

She shrugged. “I’m on the pill.”

“Okay. I swear to you, baby, I’m clean. But if you want me to get one, I will.”

Her eyes held his for another second as he held his breath. Thankfully though, she slowly shook her head and said, “I want to feel you.”

“Good, baby, that’s good,” he whispered before pushing himself into her to the hilt. They both moaned at the connection, and then he fell to his elbows on either side of her head, pressing his nose against hers. The feeling of being squeezed by her sweet body was unfuckingbelievable. He had dreamed of this for years. To feel her like this again…and it was better than he remembered. He’d only had one time with her, but that one time had stuck with him since he’d walked away. But he wouldn’t make that mistake again.

He wasn’t going anywhere without her.

“So fucking good,” he whispered as he slowly started to move against her. Each thrust was brutal and he knew he wasn’t going to last long, but he knew he had to try. Pressing his lips to hers, he kissed her slowly as he moved in and out of her, each time coming completely out of her before entering her again. He watched her as he slowly made love to her, her eyes drifting shut and her body tensing up underneath his.

“You’re so beautiful, Lacey,” he said against her lips. “I… I…—”

Before he could utter the words, her hand came to rest against his chest as her eyes bored into his. “I know, Karson. I know.”

His heart then exploded in his chest as she brought him down for a toe-curling kiss. Pulling his mouth from hers, he pushed himself up onto his knees, taking her by the back of hers and then pushing them back against her chest so he sank deeper into her.

“Fuck,” he moaned as he moved in and out of her, his breath coming out in spurts with each thrust. Finally, unable to take it, he pounded into her, his body tensing, his balls drawing up until he came so hard, he squeezed his eyes closed tight as lights went off behind them. Jerking into her, his head fell back as he sucked in a deep breath and then let it out.

Oblivion.

When he was able to move, he looked down at his love. She was laid out in front of him, her legs still in his hands as she looked up at him, her eyes tired and spent. Letting her legs go, he fell to the side of her, gathering her into his arms before pressing his lips against hers in a slow but demanding way, drawing the kisses from her succulent mouth. Moving his nose along hers, he smiled as he tightened his arms around her. She smiled back, moving her hands up his chest as she molded against him.

Not sure what to say because, really, what the hell do you say after mind-blowing sex, Karson said, “Well. Hello.”

She giggled and he swore his cock came to life from the heavenly sound. “Hi.”

“I guess I should have asked if you had a boyfriend or something, huh?”

“Would have been polite,” she teased, her fingers moving against his jaw as his face broke out in a true grin. “But the answer is no.”
