Just a Love Story Read online

  His admission allowed Shae to throw aside her apprehension. She could scarcely believe he wanted her to such an extent. Her!

  Turning on her side to face him, her lower body came into contact with his swollen member. Shae tensed at the touch but didn’t back away. Instead, she moved closer, accepting him. “You remember what I want to do?”

  Derek swallowed, his skin tingling where her fingertips brushed so lightly. He’d been so long without a woman’s touch, he closed his eyes, giving himself over to ecstasy. And when the featherlight caresses were joined by butterfly kisses, he moaned and ran his hand over the silkiness of her back and down to the sweet curve of her ass. “You’re so soft. So beautiful. So sexy.”

  Feeling emboldened by his praise, Shae placed her palm flat of his chest and pushed. “Let me.”

  Too enthralled with her actions to question them, he obeyed, willing to go along with whatever she desired. To his awe, she came with him, settling her knees on either side of his hips. When she bent over, her hair formed an intimate curtain around them as she proceeded to kiss and caress every inch of his body – from his face, down his neck, to his chest…and lower. “Shae, oh baby,” he groaned while enduring the sweet torture.

  She heard Derek speak, but was too enthralled with the liberties she’d been granted to respond. Letting her hands and lips roam freely, Shae explored him with wonder – his pecs, his abs, his broad shoulders – anywhere she could reach. All her sweetest fantasies were coming to life, made ten thousand times better by a flesh and blood hero who more than surpassed the shadowy figure of her dreams.

  Over and over, she kissed and petted him, rubbing her face against his skin, moving her body sensuously over his. Yes, she’d read enough, seen enough, imagined enough to know what to do – but God knows doing it for real was so much better. Being with Derek like this was heaven.

  Derek let her play until he was on the verge of losing control. “Time for round two, love.” Gently, he reversed their positions.

  “Are we keeping score?” she asked in a breathless teasing voice.

  “No, but I do intend on scoring. Don’t you?”

  “I like this game.” She gazed up into his face with adoration in her eyes. “Thanks for letting me play.”

  “Oh, we’re just getting started.”

  He planted a kiss on her lips, a deep hungry kiss that captured her breath as well as her imagination. Once he’d drank his fill, he let his lips slide down her neck, blazing a path down her cleavage.

  “Fuck, you’re pretty.” Sitting astride her, Derek framed her breasts, his thumbs rubbing her nipples, eliciting a whimper from her lips as she began to shudder beneath him.

  “Oh, I like that…” Her palms skated over his arms, loving the corded muscles he’d earned due to hard work. “I knew my nipples were sensitive, but…”

  “Oh, you did?” Derek continued to tease her – light touches that danced right around the sensitive peaks. “And how did you know that?” He grinned, his eyes taking in the emotions flitting across her gorgeous face. “You look guilty, precious. Have you been playing with these sweet tits?”

  “Maybe,” she hedged, letting out a frustrated pant.

  “I thought you didn’t use toys,” he murmured as he shaped and molded the firm flesh. He felt like a kid who’d discovered a longed-for gift under the Christmas tree, one he’d begged for but never dreamed he’d possess.

  “I don’t.” She looked up into his face, trying to read his expression. “I just fingered…myself.” Shae gasped as he rewarded her honesty by honing in on her nipples – rubbing, swirling, milking. “Derek…” As much as she could, she spread her thighs, aching for closer contact with him.

  “From what I remember of those tales you’ve woven, Scheherazade, you seem to have quite a breast fetish.” All the time he talked, Derek gently ground the hard length of his erection against the apex of her thighs.

  Shae’s head swam with pleasure as the sweet friction made her clit swell and cry out for closer attention. “Oh, my God!” She bucked her body beneath him, aching to find an answer to the mystery she hoped would bring her release.

  “You like that, love? Good?”

  Her whimpered agreement gave him the answer he needed. As he rubbed his aching cock against her softness, Derek continued to toy with her breasts. “I bet I know what you want, what you’ve been crazy for.”

  “You?”

  “Oh, you’ve got me, love.” Her sweet answer made him smile. “Do you want my mouth here?” He tweaked her nipples, rubbing them between his fingers.

  “Oh, please, yes.” She arched her back in welcome, her hands coming underneath her breasts to offer them to his mouth.

  “My pleasure.” Derek bent and covered the tip of one round breast with his lips, sucking the nipple with firm, strong pulls.

  Shae closed her eyes, her whole universe boiling down to this one perfect sensation. She moaned and writhed as his tongue rasped the tender bud, the furnace of his mouth only adding to the bliss. While he suckled, taking deep draws on the sensitive tip, she caressed his hair, holding his head in place, amazed as the ecstasy coursed from her nipples straight between her legs. “Oh, I love this,” she moaned. “I love this so much.”

  The only answer he gave was a satisfied grunt as he feasted on her flesh. His obvious enjoyment excited Shae beyond measure. She didn’t know what was better – the sublime feeling of his mouth or seeing the look of rapture on his face. The sight of him taking pleasure made her wet, her vagina was tingling and pulsing, craving to be filled. Bucking her hips, she strove for relief, wanting him with a desperation she could scarcely contain. “Derek…I want…”

  Shae didn’t even realize she’d spoken aloud, but Derek heard her loud and clear. With stunned wonder, he raised his head to gaze at the sensual desire on her face. He shivered as her arms went around him, her hands finding his back, her nails scoring light tracks of erotic need on his skin. “I’ll give you what you need, baby.” Bending, he touched his lips to hers and the electric heat of their joining seared his senses. His dick was beyond hard, strutted to the point of bursting. “Let me touch you.”

  “Yes,” she keened, spreading her legs as wide as she could. Shae could feel the soft place between her thighs melting, growing warm and slick as she strained toward him. Giving her what she needed, Derek let her feel his weight, the light furring on his chest rasping against her grateful nipples. Unable to contain her hunger, Shae nipped him on the neck, drawing a chuckle from his lips as he moved down her body. “Where are you going?” she asked, mesmerized by the sight of his mouth closing around her stiff, distended nipple. When he began to suckle, ecstasy lashed through her. “Oh, that’s good, don’t stop.”

  “Just getting started,” he murmured as he reached a hand between them to stroke up her thigh, his fingers brushing against the silky folds.

  “Oh, God, Derek, I love you so.”

  Hearing her declaration, Derek stiffened. His hand stilled and his eyes rose to meet hers. Should he stop? He wasn’t ready for love. June had to be his priority. Seeing her gaze was unfocused, he sensed she didn’t even realize what she’d said. Pushing aside the guilt, he fingered her deeper, amazed at how sweetly she responded. He was the first one to touch her, by God – and she loved everything he did. “That’s right, baby. Feel me. Only me.”

  Yea, he was going to bust hell wide open.

  Shae was completely lost in the pleasure Derek gave her. He was bringing to life every fantasy she’d dared to dream. She stared at his face, memorizing the way he looked as he touched her. Raising a trembling hand, she cupped his cheek. “I just needed to know you’re real.” So many times before, he’d disappeared when she dared study him too closely. “Yes, just you, Derek. I don’t want anyone else. Oh!” She jerked in his arms as his fingers swept over her swollen sex sending hot, pulsing streams of heat through her feminine core.

  “Want to cum, Shae?”

  “Um…yes.”

  “Can
you cum hard for me?”

  “I think so.” She hid her face in his shoulder.

  “You haven’t ever…?”

  “No. I have. Sometimes when I write, I get so turned on I can’t stand it.” She spoke so softly he could barely hear. “I’m just not sure how it’s supposed to be…with somebody else, you know?”

  Derek didn’t know what to do with her. She just tore him up sometimes. All this innocent shyness made his heart go soft with tenderness. Shae was such a contradiction. A virgin temptress if there ever was one. How had the men in her life resisted her? God knows he couldn’t. He was completely fascinated by the diamond-like facets of her personality. Her quick mind, her killer sense of humor, a tender heart. And a sensuality so deep, he felt like he might drown in the depths of it.

  “Let’s find out, shall we?”

  Shae could barely breathe for the anticipation. “Is this next on our agenda?”

  “Agenda, yea, definitely.” He chuckled as he pushed her legs apart, holding them open with his big shoulders.

  As he dipped his head between her thighs, she cried out at the first touch of his lips. “Oh, Derek!” She thought she’d been prepared for this, but she wasn’t. The pleasure and the intimacy were beyond all expectations. “You slay me…” she moaned as his tongue slid between her folds, then up and down the slit. With each movement he made, her whole body undulated in tandem.

  Immediately, Derek was addicted to her taste. The way she whimpered and writhed sent his own arousal off the charts. Sliding his palms beneath her bottom, he lifted her, feasting on the sweetest pussy he’d ever imagined. Her hands were buried in his hair, massaging his scalp, letting him know how much she loved what he was doing to her.

  Shae was out of her mind with ecstasy, arching her neck, biting her lower lip. Each lash of his tongue brought another wave of bliss, and each wave built and built until she felt herself being swept out into a sea of pleasure. Opening herself wider, she lifted her hips, keening her satisfaction as his lips latched onto her clit and sucked. “Oh god, baby, oh god. Yes!”

  Even as she began to cum, Derek didn’t stop. He needed to prepare Shae, and this was the time. Pushing a finger up inside of her, he began to thrust in and out, mimicking the movement of what his cock longed to do.

  “Oh, please. Please. Please!” Shae begged, unsure if she was pleading with him to continue or to bring a sweet end to the sensory overload. Clawing at the bed covers, Shae fought for sanity as the rhythm and pressure of his fingering increased, keeping perfect time with his mouth as he kissed, licked, and sucked at the throbbing bundle of nerves.

  “Cum, baby. Cum for me,” Derek demanded as he drove them both to the edge of sanity. If he didn’t get inside of her soon, he knew there would be no surviving. “Now!”

  His command seemed to unleash whatever was holding her back, causing the spring that was wound so tightly inside of her to release in an explosion so perfect, Shae felt as if she was rocketing toward the stars. Her body felt lighter than air, and if Derek didn’t hold her tightly, she might drift away on a cloud of ecstasy. “Hold me, please.”

  Derek wrapped his arms around her and held on. His heart was beating as hard as hers. “I need you, Shae. I need you so fucking much.”

  Still reeling from the aftershocks, Shae wanted only to please him. “Do you want me to…” She slipped her hand between them and touched him, making him bellow out a groan so harsh, Shae thought at first that she’d hurt him.

  “Not now, baby.” He caught her hand. “Later, please. I need to be inside you.”

  Hearing him express his need for her did something to Shae. She felt both powerful and humbled, excited…and nervous. “I want that too,” she assured him.

  Derek needed no further invitation. He rose between her thighs and placed the broad head of his cock to the same entrance where his fingers had been only moments before. “I’ll try not to hurt you,” he whispered as he began to slowly penetrate her. He was awed to feel her soft sex still clenching and releasing with the spasms of her climax. “God, this is going to feel so good.”

  Shae hooked her feet behind his knees and held onto his forearms. She didn’t know what to expect. Everything that had happened thus far had surpassed her expectations a thousand-fold. “I trust you.”

  No three words could have affected him more. Every fiber of Derek’s being demanded that he thrust in, make a place for himself deep within her. But…he couldn’t. He refused to cause her one iota more pain than necessary. Instead he denied himself, slowing his impulse to take, wanting to give Shae the pleasure she deserved more. “Look at me,” he told her as he began to push his cock slowly into her wet, warm channel.

  She did so, fixing her gaze on his handsome face. Shae tensed at the unfamiliar invasion, a burning, stretching sensation as her body sought to accommodate his heavy erection. “Oh, Derek…” A firestorm of conflicting emotions assailed her. She wanted to be with him more than anything…but this was new territory for her, a place she’d never been before.

  “Just hold onto me, baby. I’ll be gentle.”

  Following his request, Shae clung to him as he fought to keep a tight rein on his control, flexing his hips to gain entrance. “Oh, God,” he breathed the words out like a prayer. He’d only just begun and already the feeling of being bare inside of her was incredible. His ex-wife didn’t allow him this pleasure. Bowing his head, he groaned aloud, “Oh, fuck. Fuck.” Derek thought he might pass out from sheer ecstasy. The heat, the tightness, the way she gripped him – all of it combined to be the single most euphoric moment of his life.

  Shae squeezed her eyes closed. She knew he was big, but he felt enormous. “I don’t think I can…”

  “It’s okay, love.” Derek kissed her face as his cock burrowed a little deeper.

  “I know.” She pressed her lips together and did her best to relax.

  “Almost there.” Not that he knew what to expect. He thrust a little more, went a bit deeper, until he encountered a barrier. Derek stilled. Her hymen was intact. For some reason this surprised him. He’d heard guys talk about popping a girl’s cherry, but most said they couldn’t really tell much difference.

  This was different.

  “Are you okay?” she asked, a quiver in her voice.

  “Yea, sure.” He kissed her eyes closed. “This will be better soon, I just need to…” God, he didn’t know what to call it.

  Shae understood. Derek was about to take her virginity. “I’m ready.”

  She might be ready, he wasn’t sure he was.

  “I’ll make this good for you, I promise.” Raising up on his hands, he pulled back a bit, then thrust forward. She cried out, but he dipped his head and captured the soft sound with his lips. Derek kissed her tenderly. “I know. Just wait. It’ll get better.”

  Shae couldn’t think. She’d felt herself tear deep inside. The pain was sharp and paralyzing. She bit her lips to keep from crying out.

  “Are you okay?” Derek asked, aware that she’d become as stiff as a board.

  “Yea, I think so.”

  Wanting to make everything better, he joined their lips and kissed her, holding himself up with one hand while he caressed her breasts with the other. Derek wanted to give her pleasure, and he wouldn’t take his own until she found it.

  Shae returned his kiss, wanting so much to be what he needed. “I’m sorry.”

  Derek raised his head. “Sorry?” He kissed her eyes shut. “Don’t say that, you’re perfect. You’ll never know what being your first means to me.” When she’d told him she was a virgin, he’d found her claim a little hard to believe. After all, she’d seemed so worldly in a way and so…angelic in others. “I am glad. Proud. Humbled. Thrilled that you gave me what no one else can claim.” To show her how he felt, he kissed her some more, caressing her body, even dipping his hand down to where they were joined so he could rub her clitoris.

  Slowly, midst his petting and whispered words, Shae began to relax. His presence within her b
ody became something she wanted. With little dips of her hips, she began to move against him.

  Derek groaned when he felt her inner caresses. She was stretched so tight around his cock that any motion she made only served to increase the pleasure. “I love what you’re doing, baby.”

  “Yea, me too.” She pulled him back down to her, taking a kiss of her own. “You can move now.”

  Thank God. Closing his eyes in ecstasy, he began to pull out, then push in – a little deeper each time.

  Shae held her breath as his manhood stroked places so extremely sensitive that each thrust sharpened the surprising mix of bliss and pain she was processing. In and out. In and out. Shae welcomed each impalement and wanted more. She found her body grew more and more greedy until she was clutching him, holding him close with every part of her, lest he leave her before she reached the pinnacle she craved. “Oh, more, Derek, please give me more.”

  “Oh, fuck. You’re so sweet. Take me, baby. Use that pretty pussy.”

  Surprisingly, the dirty talk spiked her pleasure. Her body reacted, her hips jerking, accepting even more of him.

  “That’s right, take me, baby. Take everything I have.”

  Derek’s whole body was alight with pleasure. He was mindless in his drive to possess her. With powerful pumps he drove his greedy dick deep, filling her time after time. The sounds of passion she made only spurred him on as he powered deep – over and over.

  The pain was gone and all Shae could feel was a building need as the thick wedge of his flesh hammered into her again and again. She couldn’t be still even if she’d tried. As her sex clenched and grasped him, Shae writhed, her body aquiver with sensation. “I love this, Derek. I love this.”

  His mind and body were in perfect agreement with hers. He felt as if he were running a race, fighting for the finish, driving relentlessly toward a goal that he craved more than air. As his body strained for the prize, each muscle tensed, his cock was a tyrant that demanded satisfaction. “God, you’re good. You’re my baby, aren’t you?”

  “Yes, yes!” She wanted to be his baby. The very thought made her body convulse around his with joy, stealing her breath. Shae wanted to hold him forever, keep him connected to her in the most intimate way possible. “Love me, Derek. Love me!”
