The Trouble With Love (31 page)

"Goddammit, I've tried!  I can't
leave you alone
!" he huffed behind her.

"
Bullshit
.  You have
Candy
and her roller coaster, why would you want to get back on the merry-go-round with me?
"
  Sabrina
said snidely, her
fists
clenched
at her side
s
at the
unwelcome
mental picture that produced in her head.

"Because I fucking love you and can't stop.
 
I seem to
like
the merry-go-round, as crazy as it makes me!"

She snorted,
then shook her head,
"You
haven't
seen
crazy
.
..I'm almost certifiable these days...I'm buying a cafe in a
t
own where I have to see
you
every day
!
"

"
What?!?
" Cole shouted then grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him.  His eyes
were
about the color of the sky before a tornado
,
and swirling with
as much
devastation
.

"I'm
staying in
Bowie
and
buying the Blue Bird...or thinking about it," she told him then shook his hands off of her shoulders
and they slumped when she turned away and started walking again
.

He stopped her again, this time his hands were gentler on her.  "That's the best idea I've heard in years...it's perfect for you."

She hiccupped then said, "I thought so too, but now...
I don't know.
"

He turned her to him again then said softly,
"Come back to the cabin, Bri..."

She shook her head, "No way...
not with
P
orno
Skipper there.
"
  That's what the woman had looked like,
plastic
Barbie's dark-haired best friend.

"She's gone, sugar. I sent her home.
..
"
he told her then pulled her toward him and into his chest, before he kissed the top of her head.  "I only invited her over, because I was lonely...missing you."

"If I hadn't shown up, you'd probably be having sex with her right now.  I'm sorry I interrupted," she told him
in a wobbly voice as
pain ripped through her chest almost sen
ding
her to her knees.

"No, I wouldn't have, Sabrina.
..s
he was a distraction, nothing else.  And I would not have had sex with her...as pissed off
as I am
at you
.
..
I love you," he said and kissed her hair again.

Indecision warred inside of her and she gnawed her lip, then his finger moved
under her chin
to tip it up toward him.  She held her breath as his lips touched hers gently, then he nipped her lips a couple of times
,
before he sealed his lips with hers and kissed her with so much feeling she whimpered and slid her arms around his neck.

He pulled back from her and swallowed twice then said, "I've missed you so much, baby...come back to the house with me.'

CHAPTER SIXTEEN
 

Sabrina
nodded and he laced his hand with hers
and
they walked back down the road
,
then up he
driveway
to the house. 
Cole
didn't stop, he led her inside
,
then across the living room and down the hall.  He hesitated at the bedroom door, and she leaned around him
to open it,
then pushed him inside and shut the door
.

Walking up to him, Sabrina put her hands on his chest
then put
a soft kiss
over his heart
, before pushing
up on her tiptoes
to
put her lips to his. 
With a groan, Cole's hands found her but
t and pulled her into his body
and
just held her there refreshing his memory of how good she felt in his arms.
  A tremor moved through hi
m
when he
leaned down and captured her lips, tasting them, testing then finally devouring her in a kiss that would tell her just how he was feeling.
  Her enthusiastic
response set off a wildfire in
side
of him
and he kissed her harder.

Breathing heavily, she dragged her mouth from his then kissed his cheek, along his jaw and down his throat to his collarbone.
 
"I've missed how you taste," she told him
in a low desperate voice
as
she
licked across his shoulder
. 
Cole's fingers itched to touch her, but he stood still while s
he
eased back on her feet
and k
iss
ed
her way
slowly
downward, across his pecs, flicking each nipple with her tongue
, sending electric current through his body.

Cole
moaned
when she moved
further down his body, a
long the trail of hair bisecting his stomach
.  He stopped breathing when
she dropped to her knees in front of him
, and placed a
tiny kiss on each of his hipbones,
before
she put her face against his skin and her arms around his hips
.  She
rubbed h
e
r face against him and said, "I've missed how you feel..."
then
placed
open mouth kisses
a
long the waistband of his shorts, flicking her tongue inside between kisses.

When she moaned and her mouth vibrated against his skin, Cole sucked in a sharp breath and his hands moved to her hair.
 
"Come up here, baby.  I need to
taste you too
..." he told her
in a tight voice then
tried to pull her up.
 

Sabrina shook her head
and said, "We were in such a hurry last time, I didn't get my turn to taste
you
,"
then her fingers worked the button of his shorts and pulled his zipper down.
  Starting where the zipper ended, she licked a path up to his navel then purred her delight, and a violent tremor worked its way through him along with the electrical cu
rrent she'd sent to his heart.

Her fingers moved along the waistband of his shorts, then she pushed them down his legs.  Cole had gone for a swim earlier and hadn't bothered to put on underwear again, s
o he sprang free and she gasped then put her hands around him and squeezed his spike hard erection, then kissed the head.  It was his turn to gasp, then a moan forced itself from his lips.  "Darlin', I'm not going to last long...it's been
a while
.  Let's save this for later
,
"
he said then tried to pull her up to him again.

Cole gritted his teeth when she took him into her mouth instead
,
and worked her lips over the head of his cock
, her tongue swirling around
him
inside the warm cavern of her mouth
. 
W
aves of pleasure
crashed over him, working
their way up his muscles and along his spine. 
She slid her hands down to the base
of his cock as she
took him further into her mouth and he growled his pleasure and put his hands on her shoulders.  His breath wasn't coming easily now and he told her, "Oh, God, Bri...that feels so good, baby.
..
"

She moaned and her mouth vibrated a
round
him about sending him over the edge, then she slid her
lips
slowly up
his length
almost releasing him,
before going downward again,
working her hand in rhythm.
 
He looked down at her and saw her
beautiful full
lips
on him
,
the sight w
as the most erotic thing he'd ever seen in his life. 
He couldn't help his hips joining
her
rhythm and he threw his head back and
savoring
the heady sensations racking his body from ground zero below.

She let him go with a pop then looked up at him her eyes dark blue and glittering with passion, "So damned, good..." she said then moved one hand up his thigh to cup him, as she worked her tongue along the underside of his cock, along the vein there then
she
took him in her mouth again.

Cole's legs were weak and his knees wanted to give out, but he tightened his muscles and held on while Sabrina
continued to
worship him with her mouth.  That's the only word he could think of to describe the way she was loving him.  She was soft, gentle, and reverent in her motions, but
so hot he thought his blood was boiling. 
Panting now, very close to the edge, he shoved his fingers into her hair and held the sides of her head and tried to pull her away, "Bri...I'm about to..."

She shook her head again and increased her rhythm
. 
Cole clenched trying to hold back the tidal wave of his orgasm, but he couldn't and she evidently didn't want him to,
because
she
gently squeezed him and kept pace until his body vibrated and he shouted his release.
 

He could hardly breath
e
, his heart was ricocheting around in his chest and all the blood that had been south a moment ago, rushed to his head making him dizzy.  "Lord, I feel like I'm gonna pass out...."
he told her and put his hand on her shoulder for balance.

She smiled up at him then got to her feet and pressed a kiss to his lips then grabbed his hand to lead him to the bed. "Well, you better lay down then, sugar.  I'm not done with you yet," she told him and pushed
him back against the mattress.
 

Cole
wasn't done with her y
et either.  When she crawled up on the bed beside him,
he
flipped her onto her back and threw his thigh over hers to pin her down.  Then his fingers moved to the buttons of her shirt, and he
quickly moved down the row until he could see her beautiful breasts, pushed up by her red bikini top. 

"Wow, sugar...
" he
whispered throatily then
kissed the top of her breasts, "
I can't wait to see you in this bikini...
"
H
e
ran a finger slowly around the upper edge
, "
B
ut right now I want to see you out of it," he told her then reached behind her neck to untie it. 
It parted and his eyes feasted on her, then he put his mouth over her nipple and sucked deeply. 

Her back arced off the bed and she
gasped
, and her hips moved against him.  Cole moved his hand to her other breast and cupped it, his fingers rolling and pinching her nipple. 
Sabrina moaned and rolled her head to the side
. 
Cole lifted
up
then moved to his mouth to her other breast and feasted there,
before kissing
his way up her neck to her earlobe, where he sucked a spot behind her ear
, then moved his mouth over her cheek and then claimed her lips with his.

Sliding his hand under her butt, he moved more fully on top of her then pulled her against him.  She ground her hips against him pleadingly
, then
pulled her mouth away from his and whispered brokenly, "I need you so bad...please
.
"
H
er hands moved frantically up and down his back, her nails scraping lightly sending tingles of pleasure along his nerve endings.

Cole rolled off of her and growled, "You have too many clothes on, I want to see you," then took off her shirt and top
, and
unbuttoned her shorts
then
slid them down her legs along with the bikini bottoms.
  She lifted her hips to help him then took him in her hand and stroked him.  He moaned and put his hand over hers and shook his head, "It's your turn, sugar."

She grinned up at him, "Remember what you said
last time,
what I did before
was
my turn...now it's
our
turn."

He groaned and smiled, "Trust a woman not to forget
anything
..."

"Don't forget it
either
, sweetheart," she said then got to her knees an
d rubbed her chest against his, licking his neck up to his earlobe
before she
sucked it into her mouth then let it go.

Cole pressed her tighter against him
for a second,
then scooted back to lean against the headboard and moved her to straddle his lap.  "I plan on giving you a lot of things to remember, baby," he told her then reached for the drawer in the table beside the bed.  Blindly he fished around in there until he brought his hand back out with a condom.

"I look forward to...remembering...every minute," she said and
moaned when he reached his fingers between them to stroke the nub at the apex of her thighs.  Lifting up on her knees, Sabrina
rotated her hips with him and put her hands on his shoulders.  "Mmm...that is so good," she told him in broken gasps. 

He leaned forward and took a breast into his mouth an
d
sucked
, and Sabrina
groaned loudly then st
iffened as
her body shook violently
.  He
kept up his motions until
the tension in her body eased and she leaned fo
rward and nipped his shoulder.

He pushed her back a little and opened the packet with his teeth, then covered himself and pulled her back over his lap, situating himself at her center
and holding her still with his hands on her hips
.
  Looking deeply into her passion drunk blue eyes, he said seriously
in a strained emotion-filled voice
, "Promise you won't leave
me again. sugar...even when I'm a stupid man."

Sabrina sucked in a breath
at the fierce love she saw in Cole's eyes
and fought the tears that burned her
own
,
then she
swore, "I won't leave you again, Cole...I love you."

He blew out a short breath then pulled her to his chest and hugged her.  "
I couldn't ta
ke you leaving me again, because I handle
d
something wrong.

"Don't change, Cole...just love me...
no eggshells, baby
,
"
she told him then lifted her hips and eased down on him
.  "And no more talking, either,
"
she told him and captured his lips with hers in a heated kiss as she settled herself
on him
.
