8. Drake

CHAPTER 8

Drake

" C ome back to my room." Her breathless voice whispers along my skin and fires up the lust that's never far away when she's so close to me that I can reach out and touch her.

"Why?"

She glares at me. "Do I really need to spell it out for you, Drake?"

"Yeah, I want the words, Harmony."

"Fine," she huffs. "I think we should have sex."

I can't stop smiling when she says the words I've been longing to hear with such a look of disgust. Damn, she's cute when she's pissy."

And even though I hate to do it, I do what I need to.

"No."

Her head rears back and she stares at me like I've lost my mind. I kinda wonder if I did too. The last thing I want to do is say that one little word to her. Hell, I want to throw her pretty ass over my shoulder and race back to the room, throw her down on the bed and bury my head between her soft, creamy thighs until I've got her coming all over my face.

"What do you mean no?" The shock on her face is priceless.

I stop and turn to her. "Baby girl, I want you. Don't get me wrong. But I want you for more than one night. I want you for all the nights until the end of time."

"How do you know that?" She wails, confusion and distrust on her face.

"I knew it as soon as I saw you. I knew that you were the one for me, baby girl. Knew that my fate has always been tied up with you. I knew that you were my one, the one that I've been looking for for my whole life."

"You thought she was your one?" She points out. I know why she said it but it still hurts.

"I was settling. I never felt about her like I do you."

She points a slender finger at me. "You say that now. You can make one promise now but that promise can change, grow, mutate until it's unrecognizable as love. I don't want anything to do with that. I don't understand why you do! You were hurt just like me and yet you're willing to throw yourself back out there to be made a fool of. To let someone break your heart and soul and then throw it back in your face! How the hell can you think that that's okay? How can you do that to yourself without knowing that it's all going to work out and your heart will be safe?"

I sigh deeply and shake my head. "I know it seems like I shouldn't be open for love anymore. Hell, I know this more than anyone else out there except for maybe you! But I've always dreamt of finding a woman to spend my life with. I've wanted kids forever."

She shakes her head and my chest tightens. "I don't want more kids, Drake. I'm forty years old. There's no way I want to put my body through that again. So if that's important to you you might as well find another woman to be your one. This one has closed down her uterus. There's no more baby-making going on in there. I'm too old."

I reach over and tip her chin up to me, my eyes studying her eyes, hating the pain I see behind her smoky silver gaze. "Nothing is going to change my mind. I don't need a baby or two to make me happy. I thought I did but as soon as I met you, I knew that I can live without a child. But the one thing that I can't live without is you."

She shakes her head, tears in her silvery eyes. "Fuck, I wish I believed that all of this was that easy. That we could just be together and nothing else would matter. But that's not the case. There's always going to be something to come between us. It's the nature of relationships."

Growling, I lean down and settle right in front of her lips. Her soft breath puffs out across my mouth. "It's the nature of bad relationships. I know you don't believe me but we could be good. We are good."

My lips crash down on hers and she groans under her breath, opening her lips and giving me the opportunity that I've been waiting for.

My tongue surges inside her mouth and tangles with hers, soft and shy. Her arms come up and wrap around my head, tangling her fingers in my hair and tugging lightly. My cock jerks to attention, begging me to fuck her against the nearest hard surface.

"Fuck, I need you, Harmony. I'm so fucked up thinking about you every damn second of the day."

"We just met yesterday," she breathes out and her lips trail down my throat, nipping at my skin and driving me absolutely wild. My hands dig into her hips and I lift her straight up so that her legs wrap around my waist.

"Time stands still whenever I'm around you. Time doesn't matter as long as you're with me. You're my kryptonite, baby girl. I can't eat, can't think, can't even breathe unless you're near me. I spent all night up and pacing the room. When I wasn't fucking my own hand in that damn little shower stall until I came just thinking about how you'd taste, how you'd come on my cock and the way your voice would shake when you lost your mind under me. You're driving me crazy!"

"Then do something about it, Drake. Fucking do something about it."

Like a man obsessed, I stagger down the hall with her body wrapped around me tighter than a koala bear hugging a tree. Her lips taste like the sweetest candy and I can't stop tugging, tasting and teasing them.

"I love the way you taste, baby girl." I run my tongue up the side of her throat and she tilts her head until I find a place right under her ear where she groans and grinds her hips into me.

"Drake," she whimpers and whines, my name making my dick jerk and almost come in my pants like a damned teenager.

"Fucking hell," I stagger into my room door and groan when I can't find the key. I growl under my breath. "Reach into my pocket and get my key, baby."

Her little hand reaches into my pocket and feels around and blood rushes to my head. Everything around me turns red and I fucking growl like a fucking tiger in heat. "Find it before I fuck you against this wall, baby girl."

Her hand finally closes around the key and yanks it out but it scrapes against my dick and I see stars and fireworks. "Fucking hell," I hiss. "Put that god-damned key in the door before I put my dick in your pussy right here in front of everybody on this damn ship."

"Is it a ship or a boat?" She whimpers, tilting her head as she tries to unlock the door and get her body closer to mine.

I lift a brow at her as the door finally opens. "Does that really matter right now?"

She shakes her head and her wild curls fall around her shoulders like a damn goddess. "No. Not if you finally put that dick in me."

I am in heaven. Dirty talk from a fucking goddess that looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth is apparently even better than the woman of my dreams. I drop her toes to the rug and growl.

"Get that fucking dress off of you before I lose my mind."

I start ripping at my shirt and yanking it right over my head. Then I jerk and pull at my belt and rip it out, snapping it in the air. She shudders and her flushed cheeks darken even further.

Interesting. I'll have to remember that for later.

But right now I need in that pussy so much I'm salivating just thinking about her sweet honey on my tongue.

She finally pulls her dress over her head and my whole body goes into rigor.

"Holy shit," I breathe. She flushes and tries to hide behind her hands.

I grab them and pull them away from her body. She's still wearing a soft pink bra and lacy thong panties that do not hide one fucking perfect piece of her body.

"Don't hide from me, baby girl. You're so damn perfect. I've never seen anything as beautiful as you."

She licks her lips and I can see the desire in her eyes. "You don't have to say things like that to me, Drake. I know what I look like."

"Obviously you don't if you think I'm lying. I'm not lying. You're a beautiful woman. Your ex was an idiot. I bet that before long he regrets letting you get away. But that's just too damn bad because you're mine now and nobody's taking you away from me."

"Lie down on the bed and open your legs. Let me see that pretty pussy."

She walks over to the bed like she's walking on eggshells. So slow and careful, her eyes darting everywhere but mine. But she lies down and cranks her knees open just a millimeter.

"Wider, Harmony," I growl, my voice tense. I need to see her right this second.

Her knees open and I see the wet patch on the crotch of her panties. I groan and wipe my mouth. I'd bet money I'm fucking drooling. I can almost taste her.

"You're soaked, baby girl. Were you thinking about me all night like I was thinking about you?"

She nods her head and the tip of her tongue darts out and touches to the side of her mouth. "Yes," she whimpers and her legs move restlessly. "I need you, Drake."

"Open your legs, baby." She opens them wide and I settle my shoulders between them, pushing her until her legs are over my shoulders and my face is buried in her pussy. She screams and then shivers.

"You didn't come already, did you, beautiful?" Her cheeks flush and her eyes close, looking away from me.

I reach up and tap her cheek lightly. "Hey. Nothing we do is ever embarrassing, Harmony. What comes naturally to us is just that. It's natural and it's ours. I will never think any less of you because you want me as much as I want you."

"I'm sorry, Drake. It's been so long." Her voice is soft and she groans low in her throat.

"Then I think you've waited long enough." I twist the side of the little scrap of fabric, ripping it right off of her.

"Hey! That's my favorite pair," she groans.

"I'll be you another pair. Hell, I'll buy you a million pairs that I can rip off your body every time the mood strikes me."

Then I reach down and touch my tongue to her clit, tapping it gently and grinning when she groans and her fingers wrap tightly in my hair, dragging me closer.

"You're so damn pretty down here, baby girl. I could stay buried in this pussy forever and die a happy, fulfilled man."

Then I reach forward and lap gently at her sweetness, moaning when her taste fills my mouth. "So fucking good."

My teeth, tongue and mouth lap and nip and suck at her gently until her pretty pink lips are swollen and glistening with her juices. "I'm gonna stay down here until you come, baby girl. So get comfy cause I am."

Diving in, I suckle her clit and tap at the little throbbing nubbin. She squeaks and her hips bump up into my mouth until I reach up and push her hips down with my arm, dragging my tongue up and down her seam and then diving inside until her dew drips across my tongue like the sweetest dessert I've ever tasted in my life.

I grasp that little nubbin between my teeth and scraped along it until her slender back lifts and bows up, her mouth opens on a silent scream and she shudders, coming apart in my arms.

"That's one time. How many more times can I make you come?"

Her darkened smoke eyes open, glazed over with pleasure and lust.

"I need you inside me right this second, Drake. Right now!"
