Look At Your Future (2 page)

He gently opened his lips and tickled hers with the tip of
his tongue, waiting anxiously for her to open for him.  She relaxed on a sigh
and he was finally inside her.  He forged on and kissed her like his life
depended on it.  He heard her moan softly and then he grabbed her ass as he
picked her up and held her against the wall.  He reached one hand down under
her dress and felt the smooth skin of her thigh between her stockings and her
lace panties.  He moved a few fingers under the lace edge and curled them
around her smooth ass cheek and then pushed his erection against the belly.

Lily had never felt like this before, she felt like a
completely different person.  She had never been a very sexual creature, the
few men she had been with all said she was cold and unfeeling.  She felt so hot
right now, almost feverish, what was wrong with her? She pulled her lips from
his to break the kiss, and moved her head to the side, gasping for breath.  She
felt his hot mouth slide along her neck and down her throat.  “Please,” she
begged, “you have to stop.”  She was trembling, trying desperately to get
control of her body.

Fear, she felt fear.  Max leaned back and listened to her
thoughts as she fought for control.  He looked into her wide eyes.  She wasn’t
afraid of him, she was afraid of herself.  He ran one hand down the side of her
face, trailing the backs of his fingers along the smooth skin of her cheek. 
“When can I see you again Lily?  Don’t say no to me, I am a very determined
man.”

“I can see that about you, I don’t even know your name.” 
She took a deep shuddering breath.  “Do you think you could take your hand off
my ass?”

He smiled suddenly, watching her eyes widen again as he let
her slide down against him, she was just so unexpected.  “My name is Max.” He
removed his hand gently caressing her skin as he let his fingertips play with
the tops of her stockings.

She shivered as she looked up at him, feeling her belly
clench wildly.  She leaned her head back and it thudded softly against the wall
as she closed her eyes.  She had never been so turned on before. 

He moved his fingers along her cheek again, willing her to
open her eyes.  Slowly she opened them and her eyes widened again as she looked
into his.  His eyes seemed to be glowing, almost like a shiny metal.  Must be
the light in here, she mused.

Max smiled to himself, keep telling yourself that if it
makes you feel better honey.  She was his soul mate; her instant attraction to
him should have been his first clue.  He could tell it would take some time to
convince her.  He really should have known by how quickly they had been aroused
by each other, for her it was just by being in the same room with him.  For him
it was her scent, it called to him.  He had gotten weary of the women his
father had been sending to him.  It had been so long he had gotten tired of
waiting for her, but now, here she was, in his arms, and she was beautiful.  He
gathered from her thoughts that she hadn’t had a very good sex life.  Thank
God, if she would have been in love with someone things could have gotten
ugly. 

If the stories his father had told him were true, he would
become potent within a few years.  He had to make her his in all ways by then
in order to produce his heir.

“So you haven’t answered me yet,” he said.

“What?”  Lily frowned as she looked up at him.

“When can I see you again?”

“Oh, I…”  Why did he want to see her again? He was so hot;
there were any number of women who would do anything for him.  Although that
thought really bothered her, she still didn’t understand why it was her that he
seemed to want.

“You are beautiful Lily; you are just the woman that I have
been looking for.”  He ran one hand down her bare arm and felt a shiver run
through her.  “Can you feel it? You were made for me.”

What?  She thought as she looked at him with an astonished
expression, how could he know that?  They had just met.

“Do you work Lily?”

“Uh, yes…I am an editor for a publishing company.”

“Tomorrow is Saturday; do you have to go into work?”  He
smiled as she wordlessly shook her head no.  “Will you have dinner with me?”

Lily felt her head nodding yes before she even realized what
she was doing.  What the hell was wrong with her?  He continued to touch her,
scrambling her thoughts, not anywhere intimate, but the feel of his fingers
gliding across her cheek and down her arms felt very seductive.  She could feel
his touch sending jolts to her breasts and between her thighs.  He gave her
another little smile and she felt her belly clench viciously.  She couldn’t
help the moan that left her lips.

“Will you stay the night with me Lily?”  He asked her,
softly breathing into her ear and neck as he brushed his fingers across her
belly and then to her hips.  He pulled back to look at her for his answer.

She nodded yes again and her eyes felt heavy as he leaned
into her again.  He kissed her and she felt her mind shut off as her fingers
clasped the longer strands of his hair.  He picked her up and carried her
somewhere.  All she could think of was him inside her, she wanted him so badly.

“Lily, baby, you are so sensitive.  Do you know how sexy
that is?”

She stood dazed in his arms as he set her down to undress
her.  She felt the zipper at her back being slowly lowered, and then her dress
slithered downward past her hips till it pooled at her feet.  She stood before
him in her baby blue lace bra and panties.  She felt his lips as he left kisses
along her collar bone, and then he nipped lightly at her neck and just below
her ears.  She shivered as he pulled back and placed his hands along her jaw,
rubbing his thumbs across her swollen lips. 

She gripped his massive arms as she felt electricity running
from his body to hers, the sensations seemed to travel everywhere before
concentrating between her legs.  She had never had an orgasm during sex before,
the only ones she ever had were when she was alone using her vibrator.  She had
a feeling that Max could give her all the orgasms she wanted.  Hell he could
probably make her come just from touching her skin.

Max listened to her thoughts, waiting for her cues to see
what she liked.  Obviously she didn’t know.  How could a woman this beautiful
be so inexperienced?  She would make an excellent submissive, but she would be
so much more to him.

He finally had her half naked and trembling in his arms.  He
leaned back to look at her and felt an ache in his chest.  She had high full
breasts with dusky pink areoles and her dark pink nipples were pebbled tight. 
He cupped one breast, amazed at how perfectly proportioned she was to him.  He
ran his thumb across the beaded peak and enjoyed the moan that tumbled out of
her.

Lily moaned and watched with hooded eyes as he leaned down
to take her breast into his mouth.  He sucked her nipple deep and she bucked
against him.  He growled low in his throat and then thrust one leg between
hers.  He cupped her buttocks and pressed her aching mound against his muscled
thigh, and then he slowly dragged her up its length.  He latched onto her other
breast and wrenched moan after moan from her.

She felt her body being lowered and then the softness of a bed
beneath her, and then Max loomed over her.  She vaguely felt her panties being
removed, and then he pushed her legs apart and licked into her moist cleft.  She
arched off the bed and whimpered. His tongue was so hot and skilled.  He thrust
his tongue inside her and she felt her body begin to quiver.  He pushed one
finger inside her tight sheath as his clever tongue licked her clitoris and she
exploded, pulling his hair, and clasping her thighs around his ears.

She lay gasping; by the time she had recovered he was
sliding his hot shaft into her body.  He was so big, she felt uncomfortable
pressure, and then it seemed like her flesh was making room for him. Then he
was deep inside her and he stopped.

“Lily open your eyes and look at me”, he groaned.

Lily forced herself to open her eyes, and then looked into
his, his eyes were glowing and she felt his shaft pulse inside her.

“Tell me my message again.”  He demanded as he looked at her
fiercely.

Lily trembled beneath him, feeling so full, and she couldn’t
move, he held her so tightly.  Huskily she murmured to him.  “Look…at
your…future,” she managed to say. 

He growled again and then he started to move inside her,
touching all the hot achy places deep inside her body.  She wanted desperately
to move against him, touch and lick his skin, but he had her pinned beneath
him.  She felt his will upon her as he moved steadily and forcefully.

“Please let me touch you, please Max,” she said
breathlessly.

He liked the sound of his name on her lips, he released her
arms and then levered himself above her.  He felt her move her soft hands over
his shoulders and down his back.  He leaned down and brushed his lips across
her shoulder and felt her lips and tongue moving along his neck.  He nipped at
her skin and he suddenly felt her stiffen beneath him, arching her hips against
him as she climaxed.  He could feel her channel milking him as her orgasm
rolled through her in waves.

He came a few minutes later with her still shuddering
beneath him.  He bit into her neck as he came, just enough to break the skin
and hold her still beneath him.  Then he slowly licked the bite to soothe her,
he felt the small wound close before he stopped.

He levered his arms up a little and watched her face as she
regained her senses.  She finally opened her eyes and looked at him in
disbelief.  He listened to her thoughts again.  Mostly she couldn’t believe
that she had slept with a man she had just met.  She’d never done anything like
that before in her life.

Lily watched Max’s face as he looked at her, he seemed so
intense.  Nothing like this had ever happened to her before.  What the hell was
she doing?  One night stands weren’t her thing.  He must think she was some
kind of slut.  What kind of woman slept with a man without knowing who he was?

“Lily I can tell you are overthinking this.”  He smiled when
he saw her pretty blue eyes widen.  “Are you on the pill?”

She felt a blush rise from her chest into her cheeks and
nodded her head yes.  They hadn’t used any protection.  He finally pulled out
of her, his shaft still seemed hard enough to go again.  She briefly wondered
if he wanted to.  She shook her head slightly and pulled the blanket over her
still trembling body, she wanted to cry.  How could she have done this?  He
moved towards her and pulled her into his arms, gently placing her head against
his chest.  Then he slowly moved his hands up and down her back in soothing
strokes.

“Stay with me Lily, I don’t want you to leave.”  He tipped
her chin to look at her face for a moment, waiting until she nodded, and then
he spoke softly to her again.  “Go to sleep honey, things will look different
in the morning, it will be okay.”  He watched her eyelids begin to droop, he
liked that he could calm her as easily as he aroused her.

He watched her as she slept beside him.  He generally only
slept a few hours, but he held her the whole night.  He’d never had a woman in
his bed; he preferred to get his pleasure elsewhere and leave right after.  Once
she slept deeply he caressed her gently, memorizing her features, cementing
them into his subconscious.  He would be able to find her anywhere in his human
form, but he would be able to find her much faster in his true form. 

He had given her the first bite; she would have a bruise
where he marked her, but only his kind would recognize it for what it was.  The
claiming had begun; he would bite her each night until the week was up, and
then they would change together.  Then she would truly be his mate.

Lily had been having a wonderful dream.  She was so warm,
hot in fact.  Her lashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.  She felt
smooth skin beneath her hand and cheek.  Everything she felt suddenly
registered and she was aware that not only was she naked, but so was the man
she was lying on. 

Oh my God, what had she done?  Memories assaulted her from
last night in a rush, every moan and every whimper.  She felt moisture pool
between her thighs and she felt a hand start to move slowly up and down her
back.  His fingers trailed down the vertebrae of her spine and then stopped at
the small of her back.

She took a deep breath and then leaned up on one elbow,
unable to look at him.  She could feel her body flushing all over in
embarrassment.  How could she have done this?  This was so unlike her, and
where were her clothes?

“Lily you didn’t do anything wrong.  It’s okay.” Max said to
her, he didn’t need to read her mind to know how she was feeling; her body
language was answer enough for him.  “Lily, look at me,” he ordered softly.

Lily obeyed him even though she really didn’t want to.  How
could he have so much power over her?  She looked up into his eyes and felt
lost.  She licked her lips and held her breath, waiting anxiously for him to
speak again.

Max smiled at her, he knew he would fall for her fast. 
“Lily breathe,” his smile widened as she sucked in a deep breath.  “Did you
sleep well?”  She just nodded her head as she looked into his eyes.  He reached
up and ran his fingertips along her cheek.  “Will you give me a good morning
kiss?”  He watched as she blinked a few times and reached up to touch her soft
lips to his.  An innocent touch that burned him inside, and then she pulled
back and let out a little sigh.  “Are you hungry?”  He smiled again as she just
nodded wordlessly.  “You can talk to me you know, I won’t bite.”  Not during
the day at least, he thought.

Lily blushed and gave him a shy smile.  “Yes I am hungry. 
Do you mind if I use the bathroom?”  She felt her body flush more as she
asked.  She had no idea what to say or do; she was so out of her element.  What
were the rules for the morning after? By sheer will she managed to pull her
gaze from his.  Maybe if she wasn’t touching him she could think a little
better.  She pulled back further from him and her brow creased in confusion. 
She felt so sad; it was as if he was a drug.  If he was how had she become
addicted so quickly?  She snuck a quick peak at him again and got her answer. 
Duh, mental head slap, the man was gorgeous and oh so very charming, no
wonder.  She had minimal experience with men, and he was just so…male.

Max watched her leisurely as she sat up and pulled the sheet
over her luscious breasts.  He could see dimples at the base of her spine when
she turned away from him.  He couldn’t wait to dip his tongue into them.  If he
could keep her in his bed all week, he would, but it didn’t work like that. 
She would have to come back to him tonight of her own free will.  He couldn’t
make her come back; he could only ask her to.

He sat up and pulled the rest of the blankets off of him. 
He heard her gasp and he glanced at her as her hungry eyes roamed his body. 
She had one quick peek at his boner and then suddenly looked away.  He smiled
as he walked to his closet and grabbed a pair of boxers and a t-shirt.  He
quickly put them on and then grabbed a shirt for her.  He went back to the bed
and handed her a button down shirt.  He watched as she slipped it over her
shoulders and pulled it closed over her sweet body.  He watched her for a
second and then he walked away to open another door. 

“Lily,” he said as he waved his hand inside the room.  She
got up from the bed and walked gracefully towards him.  He liked the way she
looked in his shirt, she had rolled the sleeves up and the tails of the shirt
went past her knees.  It made her look delicate and so very desirable.  She
gave him a small smile as she walked past him into the bathroom and closed the
door.

He had used his influences on her last night, but he
couldn’t use them today.  He had to be normal.  How the hell was he supposed to
do that?

He went to the back of the room and opened a hidden sliding
door and let the fresh morning air move over him, cooling his hot skin.  It was
early yet.  He saw a deer on the edge of the woods.  Its head came up suddenly
and looked at him, its ears twitching furiously.  It felt fear, but didn’t
understand why.  It knew what he was, but only saw a man.  He was concentrating
on the animal so hard that he was startled when Lily came to stand beside him.

“Wow,” she said as she stepped past him and out the door. 
“It’s beautiful here, you are so lucky, you get to see this every day.”  She
took a deep breath as she listened to the birds chirping and she noticed the
deer in the distance.  She loved mornings.  She glanced towards Max and flashed
him a smile, she loved spring time.  She turned towards him and frowned as she
looked at him.  “Max, are you okay?”  She moved closer and touched his arm as
she asked.

Max watched as she moved around his private deck.  When she
had turned and smiled at him, he felt an ache in his chest.  What was it about
her?  She just made him feel so…right.  “Yes, I’m okay.  I was just thinking
what a pretty smile you have, and also how nice you smell.”  He leaned towards her
neck and took a deep breath from the skin below her ear.  He felt her shiver
and smiled to himself, and then he leaned back again.  “We could have breakfast
out here if you’d like.”  He smiled when she nodded at him.

“I’ll have someone bring us something.  Would you like
coffee?”

“Yes, please,” she hesitated for a second.  “Can you find
out if Angie left my purse here?”  He nodded and then went back inside.

Lily stood by the rail and watched the deer in the
distance.  They went back to eating after a few minutes, their tails twitching
every so often.  She felt a tingle and then strong arms came around her as Max
pulled her back against him.  They stood together enjoying the fresh morning
air.

Max listened to her thoughts, she couldn’t understand why
she felt so good around him.  She knew he was aroused, but he hadn’t initiated
anything sexually.  She respected that about him.  He hadn’t made her feel
cheap this morning; he just seemed glad that she was still here.  She needed to
leave soon though, but she really wanted to spend more time with him.

Lily felt a gentle kiss touch the back of her head and
smiled.  He’s a good man, he was very intense last night, but she could tell
instinctively that she could trust him not to hurt her, ever.  That was a
little weird, she’d never felt such things before. 

He stiffened slightly against her and then she heard a voice
announcing his presence.  She turned in the circle of Max’s arms and noticed
the butler from last night come out onto the deck with a tray.

“Good morning John,” Max said.  “Lily this is John.”

“Good morning John,” Lily said to him, she could feel
herself blushing as John gave her a small smile.

“Good morning Miss Lily, Mr. Thompson,” John smiled to
himself, they looked so good together, he was so pleased for Max.  He seemed so
happy this morning.  He finished setting up their breakfast on the table and
then quietly left.

“Time for breakfast,” Max said as he rubbed her shoulders,
he smiled at her as he placed his hand on the small of her back to steer her
towards the table.  His smile widened when he felt a fingertip dip into one of
the dimples at the base of her spine. He saw her frown when he released her to
sit down beside her.  He felt it too, like every time they weren’t touching a
little part of him was dying inside.

“So what kind of books do you edit Lily?”

She raised one perfectly shaped brow at him and then she
remembered that she had told him last night about her job.  “Mostly paranormal
fiction, anything with ghosts, vampires, and even angels are really big right
now.”

“Really, people read those sorts of books?”

She grinned at him, “of course, haven’t you heard stories
like that before?”

“Well, yes I have.  Do you believe any of it?”  He asked her
seriously.

“Sometimes I wonder, some stories you hear seem so real, but
I do believe in ghosts.  I’ve thought that I’ve seen my father a few times and
sometimes I’ve felt like someone was watching me.”  She looked at him for a
second and frowned.  “I don’t know why I told you that…now you probably think
that I am crazy.”

“Hardly, I asked a question and you answered it honestly. 
Don’t ever be afraid to tell me anything Lily.”  He said very carefully.

“All right,” she looked at him over the rim of her cup as
she sipped her coffee.  “I have some work to do today at home.  Can you have
someone call a cab for me?”

“No,” he smiled when he saw her startled expression; her
eyes had widened a bit too.  “I’ll give you a ride home when you are ready.”

“Oh,” she felt another blush touch her cheeks, she felt
relieved, and she hadn’t known what to think when he had first said no.

“Will you have dinner with me tonight Lily?”  Max asked her,
their eyes met and held for a few seconds before she looked away.

“I’d like that.”  Lily said, secretly pleased that he wanted
to see her again.

“Come back tonight around six.  I’ll take you for a walk
around the estate after dinner.”

Lily smiled and nodded to him, “that sounds nice.”

“Do you like the outdoors Lily?”

“Yes I do, I try to get out when I can.  I’m not a winter
person though.”  She smiled when Max raised a brow at her.  “Too cold,” she
gave a delicate shudder as she answered. 

Max smiled at her, she was so easy to talk to.  She was
passionate and sweet, but she had a feistiness about her too.  He wondered how
she looked when she was angry.  He wasn’t ready to find out…yet.

After breakfast she went into the bathroom to put her dress
on.  He had watched as she pulled a toothbrush out of her purse before she went
inside.

He threw on some jeans and a dark gray button down shirt
while she dressed.  He was tying his boots when she came back out sporting
another blush.

“What is it Lily?”  He stood and tipped her chin so she’d
meet his gaze.

“Uh…” how could she tell him that her panties were missing? 
“It’s not important.”

“You’re sure?”  He asked, and then seemed convinced when she
nodded.  He knew what she was thinking; he had found her panties next to the
bed while she was in the bathroom.  He was glad she didn’t ask for them, he had
them in his pocket right now.  He planned on giving them back to her tonight.

They walked out to the garage and he opened the passenger
side door of a flashy red car for her.  It was sporty, but she had no idea what
it was.  She’d never seen anything like it, but she knew that it was very
expensive.  Once he was seated he opened a clever compartment to retrieve his
sunglasses, she saw the name
Aston Martin
on it.  No wonder she hadn’t
known what it was, she’d never seen one before.  She watched him strap on his
seat belt.  He glanced at her with a smile and then turned the key and the
engine roared to life.  They zoomed down the driveway towards the gates, which
opened and closed behind them, obviously the guards were used to him coming and
going.

“Where do you live Lily?”

“Park Street, River Front Apartments.”

Max nodded and switched through the gears as they went
around curves and up and down hills.

“I don’t remember this from last night.” Lily said a little
confused.

“This is the long way into town.  It’s more fun to drive
this way, especially with this car.”

Lily smiled, boys and their toys.

Max looked out the window as he rolled it down a little to
let some cool air touch his skin.  She had no idea about his toys, he grinned. 
He was going to have to make a conscious effort not to read her mind.

All too soon he pulled up to her building.  He noted there
was no security guard, but at least you needed a key to get inside.

Lily turned towards him as he pulled to a stop.

He leaned over and kissed her gently.  “Wait just a second;
let me get your door for you.”

Lily watched as he gracefully exited the sleek vehicle and
walked around the hood to open her door for her.  She smiled to herself, he was
such a gentlemen.  He opened her door and offered her his hand to help her out,
and then he reached out and touched her cheek as she stood next to him.

“I’ll see you tonight,” he pulled a card out of his pocket
and handed it to her.  “This is my cell number if you need to call me for
anything.”  He watched as she glanced at the card and looked back up at him. 
She nodded to him with a small smile and then turned to walk up to the
entrance.  After she opened the door she looked back to see him still watching
her.

“I’ll see you tonight Max,” she gave him another smile and
then disappeared inside.

Max got back into his car and then drove off.  He had a lot
to do today, but first he needed to stop and see his father.

Nathan stood by the window and watched as his son pulled up
outside the house and made his way inside, he heard him whistling as he came
through the entryway into the living room.  He seemed different today; could he
have been right about Lily?

“So,” Nathan said as his son stopped before him.

“You did it Dad,” Max said with a huge grin.  “I can’t
believe it, Lily is the one.” They hugged and his father patted him on the
back, then he pulled back and sat down.

“I don’t understand,” Max said.  “You’ve sent me brunettes
for so long, what made you send Lily to me?”

“I felt her last night in the club, I could sense her
somehow.”  Nathan frowned.  “All our information has been based on a brunette. 
I only sent her because she seemed so right.  I fought it for a while, but
finally I approached Angie.  After I met her I knew she would be prefect for
you.  It’s too soon to know for sure if she’s the one though.” He cautioned
him.
