Anxiety had been festering and
multiplying inside since the moment Teddi saw his name on the phone
screen. Under normal circumstances, she would’ve mediated and dunked
her aromatherapy pendant in lavender, but there was no time for
either. There was barely time for a thirty-second blow dry before
throwing on the odorless necklace and some clothes.
So, when Jon kicked the door shut
behind him…
Well, she’d wound herself into
such a tizzy by that point, she nearly fainted. The wall at her back
was the only thing that saved her from hitting the marble foyer in a trembling
heap of distress. She’d gripped the raised edge of the wainscoting
with her left hand, using it as a touch point to ground her, while her right
lay limply folded over the necklace.
She was
suffocating. She couldn’t breathe. There wasn’t enough
oxygen. Damn it to hell, she was going to faint.
Then his fingers closed around
hers.
That simple contact righted a
world which had tilted to an intolerable angle. He became
the touch point that grounded Teddi, allowing her to draw the sweetest, purest
breath she’d had since 1989. When he locked around her wrist, she
almost whimpered at the wave of peace that washed away the panic.
Yes, her heart still beat too
fast, but it wasn’t unnatural. Death was the only thing capable of
slowing a woman’s heart when a man looked at her the way Jon did now.
With intensity. Determination. Purpose.
Exhilaration eased the heaviness
cramping Teddi’s stomach and warmed it to molten lava. That lava
slid low into her belly and bubbled at his husky, “Dr. Montgomery… consider
yourself fired.”
“Why?”
He must’ve found the breathy
question amusing, because one corner of his mouth slanted up for a split second
before levelling to murmur, “You’re a smart woman. Figure it out.”
Teddi already
had. Every fiber of her being knew, and the more sentimental of
those fibers begged her not to speak. They beseeched her to be still
and soak in everything about this moment so that she could savor it in the
aftermath.
A woman only crossed the precious
bridge from fantasy to reality once in her life – twice if she was
lucky. Teddi knew the bridge would burn behind her once she’d crossed,
and that this magical sliver of time lasted only as long as the journey.
The rarity of this passage was
enhanced by another fleeting wonder – the purest moment of any
relationship. When two souls craved one another without condition,
past baggage or future expectations. It was like Christmas Eve, when
fairy dust floated through the air, invisible yet glittering with the promise
of perfection.
That’s the feeling Teddi wanted to
preserve, and she strained to absorb… everything.
From the shadow that obscured the
left side of his face to the darkness that eroded his blue eyes to black, she
etched this moment into the scrapbook of her mind. She journaled the
scent of sunshine and summer that enveloped him. She scribed the
flavor of his breath mingling with hers. She relished the heat of
their melding auras – right up until Jon slammed the memory book shut and
branded the cover with scalding lips.
“Mmmm…” Her
appreciative sigh was the steam from the lava in her belly. It
heated the kiss that mocked her fancy imagery and ignited the torch that would
incinerate her bridge – and Teddi gladly let it burn.
He grunted into her mouth, fingers
flexing around her caged wrist as his other hand snuck under her
blouse. Electric fingerprints sizzled into the indentation of her
waist, the small of her back, the swell of her rib cage. They dotted
their way up, up, up…
“No.” She twisted free
from the kiss, capturing his wandering hand while escaping the wrist
lock. “Not here. Upstairs.”
Jon didn’t fucking like giving up
his first taste of her, but he wasn’t the type to cut his nose off to spite his
face. That’s why he allowed himself to be first pushed away, and
then led by the hand to docilely follow in her cookie-scented wake.
Thank God it was a quick trip up
the stairs and to the door at the end of the hall, where she wrenched open the
knob. He would’ve said he didn’t give a damn what the room looked
like as long as there was a bed, but when she flipped the light switch, that
simple gesture nearly knocked him on his ass.
Nowhere in his wildest imagination
did he expect Teddi to be the only dot of beige in the most colorful bedroom
he’d ever seen. Ever.
“Holy shit.”
“We can discuss my décor later,”
she dismissed his awe and whipped the tank over her head.
One look at her bare chest and Jon
forgot the array of scarves and lanterns hanging from the canopy-less bed
frame. Breasts that he’d believed to be avocado size were
actually cantaloupes, and they swayed heavily with their plump nipples pleading
for his mouth.
He stepped forward to oblige them,
but their owner retreated with a shake of the head and dropped her pants.
That fast, his attention was
diverted from nipples to her absolute nudity. The very proper Dr.
Montgomery had been commando under her beige camouflage, and the realization
had his hard-on raging. If it hadn’t done the trick, watching her
drop to her knees and reach for his zipper sure as hell had him
throbbing.
“Whatcha doin’ down there?”
Eyes that were as uncloaked as her
body latched onto his, and she smiled seductively up at him while dropping his
shorts to the floor. “You’re here for the Gypsy, aren’t
you? Slicking over your erection?”
Was
he? Maybe. Jon didn’t know for sure anymore. The
Gypsy had a way with sexy words, but a fearless Teddi was hotter than
hell.
Blow first, think later.
“We can start there,” he conceded,
pushing hands into her hair. The cool, damp strands tickled the
webbing of his fingers and added a layer of erotica to the hot, wet mouth
closing around him. If he hadn’t been so determined to watch her
suck him, Jon’s head would’ve fallen back in ecstasy. “Fuck.”
The quiet hum she gave vibrated
against an over-sensitized dick, and Jon reflexively fisted Teddi’s hair
without hindering her Olympic effort to swallow him whole. She
reached up to deliver a hard squeeze and the white-tipped nails wrapped around
his base looked out of place. They were too tame for the woman who
was going down on him like he was her last meal. With eyes closed
and picking up speed, anybody would think she was doing it for her pleasure
instead of his.
“Jesus, that’s good,” he groaned,
mesmerized by the view.
Naked breasts swung along with
each deep dive, and that squeezing hand of hers had drifted away to cup him
from underneath. The other one was curled around the back of Jon’s
thigh, lightly scraping the lower curve of his ass.
The combination of pouty lips
skimming over his hard-on and the way her fingers danced was almost too much
for him. It was definitely too much for this early in the
game. If he didn’t get some space, Jon was going to explode.
“Hey, hey.” A gentle
tug of hair stilled her motion and allowed him to ease away, but the wet pop
that came with freedom had his balls drawing up in tortured
pleasure. “You’re too good at that.”
“Too good, huh?”
The gleam in her eyes was like a
prism, reflecting all the colors of the rainbow. Jon had suspected
she wasn’t beige on the inside but didn’t realize there were rainbows in
there. This was going to be fun.
“Mm-hmm.” He tossed his
shirt aside and extended a hand. “I’d like to get more than five
minutes out of this, yanno?”
When she rose with a throaty
giggle, he guided her near and settled his hands atop appealingly curved
hips. The magic scent of vanilla kippers beckoned, and tonight
he would heed its call. Open lips skated over the fragrant patch
behind her jaw and, when he flicked the tip of his tongue out for a taste, Jon
was rewarded with a sultry purr.
He lapped the flavorful skin until
it glistened, and when her purr became a whimper, he used his teeth. The slow
scrape of incisors over goosebumps must have felt good, because she arched
close and clutched the back of his hair.
“Harder.”
Happy to oblige, Jon sank into the
meaty curve where neck and shoulder joined, earning himself a breathy moan this
time. It was gratifying enough to make him want another, so he held
the bite and sucked while simultaneously swabbing his tongue over the
tenderized flesh.
Her reaction was more growl than
moan, but he’d take it and the soft mounds she ground
against his chest.
Mindless fingers trailed daintily
down the back of his skull and cradled it the base as Teddi turned heated lips
into his neck. Her approach was effective,
just different than his. Whereas he gnawed and slurped like
Rottweiler with a sirloin, she flittered like a hummingbird. The
swipes of her tongue were light and frequent, sampling without
gorging. Tantalizing. Titillating.
“You taste like the best part of
summer,” she breathed against his ear. “Sweat, sunshine and sex.”
His dick raged, straining against
her belly and wishing it was a pussy.
Jon’s dusted soothing lips over
his bitemark and murmured, “I haven’t had sex today.”
“But you will.” Teddi
yanked sharply on his hair, continuing her hummingbird expedition under his
chin before slicking downward to the hollow beneath his Adam’s
apple. “We’re going to do unspeakable things together.”
Hell-to-the-yes they were!
He gripped her ass cheeks, both
kneading them and holding her firm for the light buck that he couldn’t restrain. Fragrant
tangles were tickling his nose as she shifted to the opposite side of his neck,
stirring an aromatic cloud of cookie-ness that had his mouth watering.
He’d dreamed of it for weeks now,
and hallelujah, the time for dreaming was over. Shifting both hands
to her waist, Jon tossed his long-anticipated dessert onto the bed and watched
hungrily as she bounced in all the right places.
The jostling threw her hair into
even wilder disarray, now hanging as much in her face as out of
it. As far as he could tell, she didn’t mind being tossed like a rag
doll. A surprisingly Zen Teddi just peered through her disheveled tresses
with interest.
That prismatic gleam shone in the
same rainbow colors as the cushions she lounged upon with utter
confidence. Since he first touched her, there’d been zero sign of
anxiety, and the necklace dangled untouched. Then again, her
hands were otherwise occupied.
They glided over inner thighs that
looked satin smooth from his point of view, and God knew Jon had a good view,
since those babies were parted wide-open. Manicured fingertips
grazed the edges of a close-cropped bikini line, wantonly drawing attention to
the goods she offered. Goods he’d already planned to
take. To taste. To eat until he drank.
Crawling between open legs, Jon
used the heels of his hands to shove her ass up higher in the
bed. Slender ankles circled around his back as the crease of her leg
beckoned him to tuck his nose there. In a breath, he discovered the
hedonistic blend of cookies and pussy was better than he could’ve imagined.
He dove greedily into the slit
that reeked of both, and his first lusty swipe had them both groaning with
pleasure. Teddi arched into him, but she couldn’t get any closer
than he wanted to be. Jon was already burrowing deeper inside the
magic cookie to gobble at its delicious, gooey center. Every slick
pleat was licked, tasted, sucked and savored. Every swollen fold was
thoroughly explored, lest he find a new flavor to call his favorite.
The array of cushions hit the
floor one or two at a time as she writhed against the bedding and gripped the
covers. When Jon zeroed in on her clit, rolling it against his
tongue, Teddi began an agitated tugging at one of her nipples while the other
hand pushed the hair back from Jon’s forehead.
With rapt fascination, she watched
him eat, breathing unintelligible words that he took as
encouragement. When he buried two fingers to the hilt and landed on
the magic g-spot, she crumpled his hair into her fist. The
accompanying raw cry was so fucking carnal it had him grinding his hips into
the mattress and his mouth into her box. He wanted to see her come
undone, and then he wanted to fuck her until she did it
again.
Teddi’s skin already glowed with
the flush of an oncoming orgasm. It wouldn’t take a lot, and as much
for his own benefit as hers, Jon ate harder – until her clit was as solid as a
pink diamond and pulsing in his mouth. He fingered faster – until
her inner walls seized around him. He massaged that secret spot deep
inside – until his hand was sopping wet and the air shattered with her ragged
scream.
Then he climbed her body for his
reward, leaving a trail of sweet stickiness when tasting his way up her
torso. Heaving breasts got only a quick fondle in passing because
Jon’s true mission was to screw her senseless. He got so far as
jamming himself into her still-throbbing sheath for a couple of
thrusts. He even slipped his tongue into her mouth for the same
before plans took an unexpected turn.
Teddi shimmied in some mystical
way, and the next thing Jon knew, he was flat on his back with hands pinned to
the pillows. Before he blinked again, she’d dug her feet into the
mattress and was riding him with reckless abandon.
“My bed, my rules,” she breathed
against the mouth she claimed in an equally reckless kiss.
Restraint, if there ever was any,
flew out the window. She may be in the dominant position, but Jon
pummeled her from beneath and met her tongue stroke for stroke. He
allowed his hands to stay pinned but flipped them to interlace their fingers
into a combined fist. She squeezed, he squeezed. She
bounced, he bucked. They gave up kissing as air became scarce, and
Teddi reared back on her heels to ride him in earnest. He didn’t
release her hands, only lowered them to his chest so she had support as the
damp suck of their joining picked up tempo.
Fuck, he loved that
sound. The repetitive smack of sweaty flesh was pornographic music
to his ears. It would carry him through to the other
side. All he had to do was close his eyes…
Slap… suck… smack… slurp… grunt…
groan…
“Look at me.”
Her sharp demand was a surprise
since Teddi’s eyes were squeezed shut just a second ago, but she now stared
intently down at him while still keeping a meticulous beat. The
sexual music didn’t stutter or slow, but she clearly expected obedience.
When he gave it, she rasped,
“Don’t just look. See.”
His gaze locked into the eyes that
no longer reflected a simple rainbow gleam. There was a full-blown
kaleidoscope spinning in her dilated pupils, and it bent to a different
colorful pattern with each stroke. Each thrust brought a display
more stunning than the last.
She wanted him to know she more
than beige, but Jon had already known. Teddi Montgomery was a gypsy
in disguise. Her silk blouses may be bland, but her soul was
resplendent with shades of cyan, chartreuse, magenta, mango, saffron and
scarlet.
And they spilled everywhere when
she shattered.
Jon got a female jon on his hands. Wonder who will cry wolf first?
