Stripped Bare (8 page)

She urged him back onto the bed following him down. Briefly she kissed his lips before slipping lower over his jaw and down his neck to his broad shoulders. She loved the taste of his skin. The salty flavor exploded over her tongue with each nibble and suck. She found a flat nipple and scraped it with her teeth. She felt Shep flex beneath her, heard his groan. She sucked the nipple into her mouth and then nipped it before moving on to the other one.

He had one hand pulling her hair free from the ponytail and the other was rubbing over her jean-clad ass. He made her so hot. She moved down his rock-hard stomach tracing each ridge of muscle with her tongue. She followed the trail of blond body hair down to his button-fly jeans and her hands got busy again. He was more than ready and even while her hands were busy her mouth was already exploring each hard inch as it was revealed.

She sucked him through his boxer briefs and Shep groaned and she could feel his abs rippling above her head. Finally she had the fly spread wide and gently tugged his briefs down enough so that his cock sprang free. She immediately laved the head of his cock and then sucked it into her mouth. She didn’t want to take her time. She wanted to suck him deep into the back of her throat until he came spilling his taste into her mouth.

She let her hand stroke up and down his shaft while she sucked and tongued the tip. She was so hungry for him and she could tell that her excitement was building his even higher. She opened her mouth and followed the glide of her hand letting the head of his cock brush the back of her throat before sliding back up off him. Once more she wrapped tight around the head and sucked hard at it while her hand stroked. Again and again she followed this pattern until Shep was breathing hard. He had one hand gripping her hair holding it out of her face so he could watch her while the other softly brushed her cheek.

She let her eyes connect with his and held that connection while she took his length again. This time she took him into the back of her throat and swallowed around him. She had to fight her gag reflex but she did it and then she did it again and again.

“I’m about to come,” Shep moaned and she moved her mouth back to the tip and sucked greedily at his flesh.

His whole body felt like a tightened bow and then with a groan from him she felt the first splash fill her mouth. She swallowed quickly and sucked for more. Two more spurts filled her mouth before she felt his body sort of melt into the mattress beneath him. She didn’t want to give his flesh up, wanted to keep sucking, keep him hard and get more of his cum. But he was already tugging gently at her hair to get her to release him. Reluctantly she lifted her mouth and instead placed a trail of soft kisses along his lower abdomen.

Shep took a deep breath and the next thing she knew his hands gripped her beneath both arms and pulled her up to lie against his chest. He kissed her softly on the lips and she felt his hands undoing the back clasp on her bra. She lifted one arm at a time so that he could pull the straps free and then with a tug she got her earlier wish and his chest hair was against her nipples. She rubbed against him and her nipples got harder and tighter with each pass.

With a quick move Shep reversed their positions and she was on her back beneath him on the bed.

“My turn,” he said but as his lips moved down her throat toward her chest she thought it was more like her turn.

He moved his lips and teeth along her collarbone to her breasts and she’d never realized how sensitive the undersides of her breasts were until she felt his tongue and then his teeth there. It was almost more sensitive to touch than her nipples were.
Almost.
Then his mouth was moving up one breast until his lips wrapped around one tight bud and sucked hungrily at it.

She was arching off the bed, gasping and moaning as he worked between the two nipples making both hard wet nubs of sensation. His teeth scraped then nipped lightly before his tongue soothed over them. Then he was sucking again before moving over to the other one. God, she could come just from this treatment alone. It felt like there was a string connecting her pussy to her nipples and each deep pull had her cunt clenching in need.

When he finally moved from her breasts down over her taut stomach she was so close to the edge already. His mouth skimmed her abs stopping and paying avid attention to her bellybutton while she felt his hands working on the button and zipper of her jeans. He shifted from her and she lifted her hips as he gripped her jeans and panties and pulled both down and off her legs so that she was completely naked. His eyes were just as hot a caress as his hands and mouth were.

“You are sweet perfection,” he breathed as he fell to his knees in front of her.

He helped her move lower so that her hips were right at the edge of the bed. He spread her legs and she maneuvered to drape them over his shoulders as he lowered his head to her dripping wet pussy. He used the fingers of one hand to spread the lips of her sex and ran his tongue from her opening all the way up to brush over her engorged clit.

“Shep,” she cried out as he continued this torture. She wanted to feel him, any part of him, inside her clenching channel. She wanted his mouth paying homage to her clit. Most of all she wanted to come.

One finger slid into her pussy pumping slow and easy as he kept a constant licking over her clit. It was torture of the most erotic kind. She dug her head into the bed rolling it back and forth as he continued. One finger finally became two and his lips wrapped around the bud and sucked gently on it, too gently. He seemed to be taking his time, savoring and enjoying her. She wanted him to dive in and drive her up and over the edge quickly.

His lips moved down and his fingers were pulled free. Before she could beg he had switched their position and now his thumb rubbed slow firm circles over her clit while his tongue played at her opening. He rimmed and flicked her for several moments before slowly pushing his speared tongue inside her. Her pussy clenched as it had around his fingers trying to hold him there. She felt his lips covering her opening as he thrust his tongue in and out.

Slowly he sucked at her and it was incredible. He flattened his tongue inside and began twisting it around rubbing her walls. The pressure of his thumb grew firmer. He went back and forth between the tongue-fucking and the suction and she was twisting and thrashing. She could feel the pleasure mounting inside her and knew that she was very close to orgasm.

His finger joined his thumb and now he was tugging and pinching her clit. He went back to fucking her with his tongue. It was wicked the way he used it. He flicked, rubbed and plunged and with a long low moan she was coming. He sucked her juices into his mouth before plunging his
tongue
deep once more and rubbing about for more. He went back to soft slow caresses easing her down from the extreme high she’d been on until finally he pulled back completely and placed a kiss on her thigh.

“Think you can handle a little more?” he asked with a wicked grin and stood so that she could see how hard his cock was again.

“Always,” she agreed knowing that with him that word was true. She’d never felt so connected to a man so quickly. It was like they’d been together a lot longer than the few days it had actually been.

Shep shoved his jeans and boxer briefs down his legs and kicked them off as he reached over and snagged a condom from the supply they’d left on the nightstand. “Can you move over onto your hands and knees?” he queried as he ripped it open and rolled the protection over his cock.

She smiled and easily turned over onto her belly before coming up to her hands and knees. She eased back with his hands to guide her until she felt the edge of the bed with the bottom of her kneecap and the brush of his hard abs against her ass. Oh, yeah, this was one of her favorite positions. The penetration and angle were incredible. The depth he could reach inside her and the way his hands felt even now as he gripped her hips was making her pussy weep again in anticipation of that first amazing stroke.

He didn’t disappoint. No long tease this time. They had already taken care of that with the oral sex they’d enjoyed with one another. She felt him lodge against her opening and then with a hard surge forward his cock filled every inch of her pussy and had her hands clenching in the bedcovers beneath her. Her head snapped up, her back arching, lifting her pussy just a bit higher for his next thrust.

Hard and fast and so fucking deep his cock possessed her, thrilled
her,
owned her. She loved the way his abs brushed against her ass with every hard stroke, loved the way his hands clenched on her hips. She was pressing back into him meeting his thrusts. She clenched her inner muscles around him with every outward pull and it was driving them both to the edge quickly.

She felt one hand move and those fingers dipped between them rubbing her clit and slit and she knew she was drenching him. He moved the hand back up and she cried out as she felt the first brush of his finger at her anus. He lubed her with her juices and soon he was breaching her there, pressing his finger inside her ass and rubbing, igniting new sensations and nerves. She was panting, gasping for air as her body became a conduit for the electric pleasure coursing from him to her.

She came with a hard cry, her pussy gripping and rippling around his surging cock, her ass clenching on his finger. She moaned his name as he kept thrusting his cock harder and faster, working to join her in orgasm. With a cry that had to shake the house he held his cock buried deep inside her and she could feel the heat of his cum through the condom that separated them. She loved the way he buried his cock as deep as possible and gave tiny pulses of his hips as he came.

Slowly he eased behind her and with a gentle pat to her ass he pulled free of the snug grip of her cunt. She collapsed onto her stomach and watched lazily as he moved around the bed to the bathroom door. There was something so intimate about watching as he removed and discarded the condom, watching as he turned the water on and washed his cock in the sink. It was weird but somehow watching that seemed very intimate to her which was laughable considering there should be nothing more intimate than sex.

He turned to see her watching and gave a grin as he headed to the bed wet washcloth in hand. She tried to follow him with her eyes as he moved back around to where her legs were dangling half off the bed. He gently rolled her over and using the cloth cleaned the aftermath of the great sex they’d just shared from her flesh. She just lay there letting him take care of her. One of these times she was going to have to be the one to go get something to clean him up but this felt too good right now.

She must have closed her eyes and started to drift. She fluttered her eyes open as he lifted her into his arms and she held onto his neck as he used one arm to pull the covers back. He maneuvered them under the covers and pulled the sheet up over them. She snuggled into his chest while he ran one hand up and down her spine. She knew it was more than just sex between them and to be honest that scared her in a way that no other man ever had.

“Go to sleep,” he encouraged. “Tomorrow may be the hardest day so far.”

She nodded and closed her eyes. Tomorrow they would see if Ally could give them a lead, a direction that would point them toward where her sister was. And God help her but she just wanted a direction, wanted to find her sister and finally know exactly what had happened to Chloe.

Chapter Eight

Stace had made a call to the police department and let Shep and Blake go pick the car up while she and Ally stayed at the farmhouse. Her nerves were raw this morning. She remembered all the times she had told family members that she needed them to stay calm, remembered how sometimes she would get frustrated with what she saw as their lack of control. Now she understood all too well. It was hard when it was your family member missing.

“So you and Shep seem awfully chummy,” Ally said and Stace knew the other woman was trying to get her mind off what they may or may not find.

“I like him,” Stace admitted, turning to look at Ally.

“I love him,” Ally said and then laughed at Stace’s raised brows. “Not romantically. Like a best friend, like family. You know that I’ve slept with him and, as you have too, you know that he is an amazingly attentive lover. But I never gave him back what he gave. It was always Blake for me, from the very beginning. Shep knew that. But you can’t truly know Shep, know the man he is, and not love him. He is just amazing.”

“Yes, he is amazing,” Stace agreed.

“I’m hoping that you’ll come back to Legacy and get to know everyone,” Ally continued. “Shep has an amazing extended family. I know you met several of the guys when you went in to the offices. But you need to meet them out of office. Meet the wives and family.”

Stace sighed. “I’d like that. I really would. But I don’t know what the next few days, the next few weeks are going to bring. I don’t know where Shep and I are headed.”

“But you do know that the two of you are headed somewhere,” Ally said. “That says something right there.”

Stace laughed. “I like you, Ally. Perhaps I shouldn’t but I really do.”

“If you didn’t like every woman who slept with a man you dated then you wouldn’t have many friends,” Ally said and laughed as well. “Hell, I know Blake didn’t learn all his moves with me,” she grinned and wiggled her brows. “But he sure has perfected them with me.”

Stace laughed again. “Can I ask you something?”

Ally smiled. “Yeah, go ahead.”

“What is it like? Being able to do what you do?” Stace said.

“It is a gift and a curse,” Ally answered. “People want to use you and yet often treat you like you have the plague once it is all said and done.”

“Some people can’t handle what they don’t understand,” Stace offered.

“You’re right,” Ally said. “I never made friends easily. I was mostly a loner before I met Blake. Blake,” she sighed. “Well, meeting him changed my life.”

“It sounds like you are very happy now,” Stace said.

“I’m fantastic,” Ally said. “I was worried about making so much noise last night but I heard you guys after we were done so…” Ally let her sentence dangle, a grin covering her face.
