Targets Entangled (20 page)

“Just as you’ll continue to be who you are deep down,” Ferrin murmured, raising her hands and putting her cold fingers on his face. Daegan didn’t like the way she said that, but he didn’t interrupt. He’d had his say and now it was time to hear hers. Her grey eyes searched his and then she gave a small smile. “Thank you for sharing your past with me. Kayla was very lucky to have you in her life and I can see that you treasure her memory. Kayla and I may have some similarities, but I know a different man than she did. I know the man who is the total opposite of me in every way and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. Our actions and Starr’s ultimatum has forced us into a situation that I don’t think either of us is ready for.”

“You’re wrong.” Daegan wrapped his fingers around her wrists and then placed a soft kiss into the palm of her right hand before telling her why. “When I heard there was a bomb in the radio room, my first thought was of you. Not the crewmembers, not my team, not me—you. That tells me that this isn’t something passing or short-lived. I don’t know where this will lead, but I’m willing to give it a shot if you are.”

Ferrin leaned forward and brushed her soft lips against his, surprising him. He expected her to want to talk about this more or maybe answer some more of her questions. Instead, she scooted forward on the bunk and untangled her wrists from his grasp. She placed her now warm palms on his chest, sliding them up his shoulders and then around his neck to pull him close. She shocked him even more when she pushed against the rack and toppled them both onto the floor.

“Easy,” Daegan muttered, ensuring that he had a good enough hold on her waist so that she didn’t fall off of him. Ferrin all but pushed his hands off of her as she slowly lowered herself down his body, her tongue licking a path to the button on his jeans. “Don’t think I didn’t catch that we didn’t finish our conversation.”

“How about we don’t think at all?” Ferrin said, lifting her head to meet his gaze as her fingers went to work on unzipping and shucking the denim down his legs. It wasn’t in her nature to push their conversations out of the way for physical satisfaction and he thought about stopping her, but the intensity in her eyes said she needed this as much as he did. When his cock was finally released his body literally felt relief mixed with anticipation. “I want to taste you.”

Daegan groaned at the sound of those sensual words coming from her sweet mouth and he was mesmerized when her pink tongue came out and circled the tip of his cock. His skin glistened and cooled when the air moved against him. Her soft hand held his shaft as she seemed fascinated by the drop of pre-cum that had seeped out of his slit. Her lips closed around it, drawing harder until he had to close his eyes at the power of her suckling. Fuck if the pleasure wasn’t so intense that Daegan had to cover his eyes with his forearm and will himself not to empty himself into her mouth right then.

“Hmmmm,” Ferrin hummed, the vibrations traveling down his shaft and into his sac. “I want more.”

He lost track of the time, abandoned in the pleasure she was giving him. Her mouth finally slid over his cock, her moist heat taking him to the breaking point. He fought hard as she pulled back and followed with her hand, her palm sliding up and over the sensitive underside before descending back down to his base. Her lips followed and the repetitive action occurred over and over until his balls felt heavy.

“Do you like this?” Ferrin’s soft words reached his ears and he smiled when he thought back to their weekend. He’d taught her how to talk dirty but she rarely did it. “I’m torn between wanting your cock in my pussy or you coming in my mouth.”

“Trust me, siren, we can do both,” Daegan responded with more of a grimace than a grin when she took him to the back of her throat. He reached down and slid his fingers into her hair, loving the way it brushed up against his thighs every time she bobbed up and down. He bit back a curse when she used her other hand to massage his balls and triggered his release. “Fuck.”

Daegan tightened his hold on her hair and held her still as he emptied his seed into her mouth. She continued to swallow and her tongue worked him over, not missing a drop. He allowed her the time she wanted to tend to him and then when he had the strength, he leaned up enough that he could slip his hands underneath her arms and lift her up over his body.

“I want my dinner as well,” Daegan said, yanking the shorts that she’d been sleeping in down over her ass. “Take them all the way off and then straddle my face.”

“What?” Ferrin leaned up on his chest using her elbows, her surprise evident. “No, I’ll just roll over and then you can—”

“That wasn’t a suggestion,” Daegan laughed, taking enjoyment in showing her new things and taking her to even higher heights. “You’ve trusted me so far. Have I ever led you wrong?”

Ferrin slowly shook her head and then sank her teeth into her lower lip that was already swollen from loving on him. She wasn’t convinced, but he knew from experience the intense enjoyment the position could give a woman. He tugged on the black tank top she’d worn to bed and pulled it over her head, not giving her time to think too much about it. It did put her in a vulnerable position, but he would do his best to ensure that she reached her own release. Her hair splayed over him and the vanilla fragrance she used in her hair hung in the air. He breathed deeply before pulling her up higher and finally working her shorts off.

“Straddle me,” Daegan ordered as he helped her in place. Her knees were on either side of his head and she was spread wide, which gave him perfect access if she would only lower herself. He looked up into her beautiful face, her hair hanging down and still swinging from her movements. “Lower yourself, siren. Lean back enough so that you can put your hands on my chest for leverage.”

Ferrin slowly spread her knees a little wider, allowing her body to drop just enough that he was able to use his tongue and lick her from her entrance up to her clit. She moaned and arched her body so that her palms were flat against his chest. Daegan brought his hands up and cupped her ass, tilting her hips for a better angle. He laid his tongue underneath her clit and then melded his lips so that he could suck her little nub to the roof of his mouth.

“Daegan!” He focused on her hardened nipples, his fingers itching to tweak them but he held himself back. He focused on the bundle of nerves and continued to nibble, suck, and lick until she was all but grinding herself against his chin. She was so unrestrained in her pleasure that her inhibitions went by the wayside. It was only then that he released her ass and repositioned her slightly so that he could stroke his hands up her body, cupping her breasts. They were heavy and fit perfectly in the palms of his hands. He pinched her nipples lightly and instigated a guttural moan from deep within her. It was when he tugged and rolled them that she came. “Yes, Daegan. Oh!”

Daegan didn’t ease up until Ferrin leaned forward and placed her hands on the floor above his head. Her hair covered both of them, but let enough light in that he could see her grey astonished eyes at her uncontrolled response. He would never tire of that look and he grabbed her hips, pulling her down until she was face to face with him.

“Wow.”

“Yes,” Daegan agreed as he tucked her hair back behind her ears. “Wow. And since we’re already on the floor, lean over the mattress.”

Ferrin’s eyes widened once more, but her smile even more so. She pushed off of him and turned to face the bunk, looking over her shoulder with an impish grin. She wiggled her heart shaped ass and then stretched out over the bunk.

“Is this what you wanted?”

Daegan growled as he searched his jeans for the condom that he’d put in there earlier. He pulled it out and ripped the wrapper with his teeth before unrolling the latex over his resurrected cock. She affected him in such a way it was as if he hadn’t come in years. He still didn’t rush this moment, but instead ran a hand up and down her crevice. Her cream was everywhere and he took time to rub it on her swollen clit. She was a sight to behold and he couldn’t resist pushing a finger into her pussy, feeling her sheath tighten on his skin. It was as if satin had melted over his flesh. She dropped her forehead to the sheets and moaned.

“Daegan, do something.”

“You just came.” Daegan added another finger, fascinated when her pussy stretched around his digits. She became wetter, easing the intrusions of his thrusts. “I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t prepare you properly.”

“I’m ready. Believe me, I’m ready,” Ferrin groaned, turning her head so that her cheek rested against the sheets. Her eyes were closed and she was clearly enjoying his ministrations. “I need you inside of me now.”

“Not quite yet,” Daegan said, leaning back on his heels to get a better view. She was stunning and sensual. He didn’t want to rush this, especially since they had all night. He added a third finger and was captivated when her hips started to rotate. “That’s right, take more.”

“I-I need to come again.” Ferrin clutched the sheet in her hands but he didn’t go any faster. He kept up his rhythm until she was rubbing her hips on the mattress. He twisted his fingers until he was able to rub her clit with his thumb. “Daegan, please do something.”

“With pleasure.” Daegan removed his fingers slowly and replaced them with his cock. He gradually drove into her, inch-by-inch, drawing out their needs. He wanted this to last and he made his wishes known. “If you come before me, I get to tie you up and have my way with you…for hours.”

“Oh, my…” Ferrin’s words trailed off as her pussy stretched to accommodate his width. She leaned up on her elbows but he lowered her back down with his hand, not wanting her to control the pace. He wanted to hit her sweet spot with each stroke of his cock, sending her over the edge well before he reached his release. The thought of being able to take his time with her body, her hands out of the way, was downright irresistible. “Daegan, that’s not fair.”

“All’s fair in—” Daegan cut off the saying, not wanting to express something he couldn’t take back. She’d yet to even agree that they should see where their relationship could lead, let alone speak of words that they weren’t ready to say or hear. Right now it was about loving her body and showing her nothing but pleasure. “I want you tied to my bed, siren. I want to hear you sing.”

Daegan’s cock was deep within her warmth and he stilled his movements, taking a moment to gather his strength. She was snug, tight, and all it would take was a couple of strokes to send him over the edge. While he controlled himself, he caressed her ass and brushed her hair off of her back. He wanted her senses to remain heightened and he succeeded when he ran a finger down her crevice. Her pussy tightened on his cock and he couldn’t hold back any longer. He started slow enough, setting a pace that would take her higher and higher. He lengthened his strides, pulling out of her until all that remained was his tip before thrusting back in. Over and over he led the way until he pulled her up off the bunk so that her back was to his chest and he had access to her neck.

“Rub your clit for me.”

Ferrin let her head fall back on his shoulder and he cupped her breasts, rolling her nipples in between his fingers the way she liked. Her hand slid down her body and did what he asked, but in this position it was hard for him to thrust. He waited while she pleasured herself and when she started to cry out, he pushed her back down and started plunging deep within her until he felt her pussy tighten around his cock. Her orgasm had her crying out his name and it was like music to his ears. It triggered his own release and he emptied his seed within the latex until they were both spent.

“Just leave me here for the rest of the night,” Ferrin mumbled into the sheets, her body covered in perspiration. After he slowly pulled his cock out of her, she leveraged the mattress until her body sprawled over the cot, leaving him absolutely no room. She never looked sexier than she did at this moment when she peered at him through her tousled hair. “We’ll have to talk in the morning.”

Daegan’s smile faded from his face and a stirring that had to do with more than sex awakened within him. He’d all but laid his emotions on the table, which she had just turned on him. She wasn’t the type to play hard to get or any of the other useless and pitiful games that most men and women indulged in, so he bit back the first response that came to mind. Instead he stood and gradually took his time leaning down and making sure his lips were inches from hers. Her grey eyes followed every movement, just as he wanted.

“We
will
see where this leads,” Daegan warned, preparing her for an all-out war that he intended to win. When he gave his word to Starr that he and Ferrin were taking their relationship seriously, he hadn’t lied. Was it as much of a surprise to him as it had been to Ferrin? Absolutely. “Don’t think that you are the only one taking risks here. I know that I’ve come across as wanting nothing more than living in the moment, but circumstances have changed. The question here is—do you have the courage to come out of your shell as much as I have the resolution to face up to my own reservations?”
