Bought for Love Page 5

  My body loved what he was doing but I was mortified. Shaking my head, I couldn’t meet his eyes.

  “Maybe it will feel good if I did this.” His fingers slid under the elastic band of my panties and rubbed over that sensitive flesh in slow unhurried movements. I cried out at the incredible friction and forgot for a moment how I’d embarrassed myself.

  “I like you wet for me, little one.” That unbearable tension began again and I lifted my hips toward those magical fingers. God! What was this? I wanted to scream in frustration as he continued to rub over my slick flesh.

  “Please!” Stop this torment, I wanted to beg. My entire body was on edge and reaching toward some unreachable goal. I felt his long finger inch inside me and then a dam broke flooding me with the most unimaginable bliss. My core clenched repeatedly around the thickness of his digit and I cried out loudly. I gasped for air when the sensation finally died down.

  “What did you do?” I could only look up at him in awe as he slid his finger from my clenching flesh.

  “I gave you your first orgasm.” He brought the finger he’d entered me with to his mouth and suckled it. “Delicious.”

  How the man could look so pleased while doing that amazed me. That finger had been inside my body! Grasping his hand I pulled it away from his lips. “Don’t.” Making a face of disgust, I had no idea why he would do something like that.

  “You taste like heaven and I can’t wait to lick every drop of you.”

  He wanted to lick me there? “You can’t.” The thought of his mouth tasting me that way, was oddly thrilling and disturbing.

  “Trust me, you’ll love it.” The smile that broke over his handsome face made me want to give in, but I wasn’t sure I’d survive him doing something so intimate. “Tell me to taste you.” The words were a soft demand that seemed to dare me to defy him.

  My heart, which had somehow found a normal rhythm, raced again. The man had just given me my first taste of true passion and as much it embarrassed me, I didn’t want to disappoint him, either. Biting my lip hard, I tried to think. Did I want him angry again? I hated it when I felt I’d disappointed him. “Taste me.”

  I barely whispered the words before he lifted my hips, pulled away the scrap of silk covering me, and he spread my thighs wide. His head dropped between my legs and his tongue devoured me until I was writhing in pleasure. I was holding my breath as he licked, nibbled, and suckled.

  “Breathe, little one.” He lifted his head, his face covered with my essence and smiled like a man who just been given the greatest gift in the world. Adjusting my legs over his shoulders, his mouth found me again and that magical tongue delved in deep inside my core.

  My cries of pleasure filled the room as he loved my body in ways I’d never known existed and once again I found paradise. His teeth bit down lightly on that small nub that I’d never known could be so sensitive, and I screamed.

  Lifting his head, he smirked before moving up to lie beside me. “I love how easily you come undone for me, Emily. You’ll be a pleasure to train.”

  I had no idea what he meant, but he moved his hand to the snap on his pants, unsnapping, then pulling the zipper down. Grasping my hand, he slid it under the band of his underwear, and I marveled at the feel of him. He was so hard, yet the skin covering his sex was almost soft, it was an amazing contradiction.

  Lifting his hips, he pushed his pants down and I continued exploring his member. He groaned at my untrained exploration. I liked knowing what I did pleased him. “Make me come.” He demanded softly.

  “I don’t know how.” After the pleasure he’d given me, I wanted to do the same for him. It was disappointing not to know what his body needed.

  He lifted his hips again, pulling his underwear down so I could finally gaze upon him and I gasped. I’d never seen one before, but his was beautiful. My fingers wouldn’t wrap around the circumference of him, so I slowly squeezed before letting go and tracing my fingers down the long length.

  “No, wrap your hand around me again, sweetheart.” He groaned when I complied. “Now start at the base and move your hand up and down while lightly squeezing.”

  Awkwardly, I began pumping him with my hand, lowering my head down so I could watch in fascination. “Like that?”

  “God, yes, just like that. Faster, though.” I moved my hand faster and was amazed as a small drop of liquid found its way out of his mushroom-shaped head. Remembering how he had tasted me, I lowered my mouth and suckled the droplet. It was slightly salty and not unpleasant at all.

  “Fuck, Emily!”

  I lifted my mouth, worried that I’d done something wrong and my hand faltered in the movement.

  “Don’t stop, baby. Stroke me and suck me with that hot little mouth.”

  I smiled at his words, pleased that he enjoyed this. Lowering my mouth again, His shaft stretched my jaw as I took him in and tried to match my hand to the movements. I had no idea why, but I loved doing this for him. Feeling the twitch of his hardness as I continued and his soft growls of pleasure was really turning me on.

  He tangled his fingers in my hair, and I moaned softly as he pushed me down further on his shaft. My hand tightened on him, and he pulled my mouth back up again.

  “I want to fuck that mouth so badly. I forget how inexperienced you are.”

  He released his hold on my hair and he caressed it instead as I slowly guided him in and out of my mouth. I increased my movements and felt like a goddess as he grunted in pleasure. I was pleasing him!

  “I’m going to come, baby.” I had no idea why he was telling me that and took him in even deeper. At first when drops of his release filled my mouth, I wasn’t sure I liked it at all. It was an odd taste, but I wanted to take everything he gave me.

  I swallowed, still unsure if it was something I enjoyed, and he shrunk in my hand. His body completely relaxed and I understood I’d given him the same pleasure he’d given me. There was something really intoxicating about that. I stroked him again, wondering if he could do that twice, too.

  He pried my hand away and I looked up at him in confusion. “Come up here with me.” The way he smiled melted my heart and I crawled up to lay beside him. He pulled me over onto his chest and caressed my hair gently.

  I’d forgotten that I was laying there exposed, with my skirt around my waist, and the cups to my bra pushed under my breasts. I quickly moved to fix that and his hands pulled me down against his chest again. “Don’t hide from me. That sexy body should never be hidden.”

  I nuzzled my face into the smooth hardness of his chest, trying not to let my embarrassment take over.

  “You please me more than you’ll ever know.” Turning on his side, he caressed my cheek with the back of his hand.

  Blushing, I smiled back. “I never knew it would be like that.”

  “We haven’t even begun yet.” His soft chuckle had me wanting to experience even more. “Are you on anything, baby?”

  Confused by his words, I looked into his eyes.

  “Birth control? I don’t want you pregnant until you’re completely mine.”

  Shaking my head, I wasn’t really sure what he meant by those words, either. “Do you want me to be yours?” I guess my question was pretty forward, but we’d been about as close as two people could get tonight.

  “More than you know.” He chuckled and sat up in bed, pulling me with him. “I should take you home.”

  The thought of leaving after what we’d experienced was depressing, but I turned my face, not wanting him to see that. Sliding out of the bed, I adjusted my clothes, trying to get some control over my emotions. Tonight had been one of many firsts, and I wasn’t sure how to deal with them.

  “Emily?” The soft tone of his voice, forced my eyes back to his. “I don’t want you to leave, but if you stay, I’ll be inside you. Until you agree to belong to me, I don’t want to do that.”

  The man didn’t mince words, and I flushed bright red. “Then make me yours, Jack.” I don’t know why I said that, b
ut the thought of leaving him really bothered me.

  He slid out of bed, adjusting his own clothes before walking over to me. “Soon, baby. I’m going to seduce you first.” He lowered his head and kissed me deeply.

  When he broke away, I was breathless again. “I think you already have.”

  He chuckled and led me out of the bedroom. “I promise, I haven’t even begun.”

  We walked off the boat and to the car where Dante was waiting. I knew he probably guessed what we’d been doing from how disheveled my clothes and hair were. Jack however looked sexier than ever. I think I was a little jealous of him as he took me home.

  I was so disappointed when we reached my apartment, but I tried not to let it show. We kissed goodnight at my door, and it took everything I had not to beg him to stay. Tonight had been the most incredible one of my existence, and I hated that it came to an end.

  He promised to call me tomorrow and I had to be satisfied with that. I walked back to the bathroom and showered, seeing my body in a completely different way now. Feeling a little guilty, I pleasured myself, remembering how his fingers and mouth had felt on me earlier.

  I wasn’t sure what was happening to me since meeting Jack, but when I slid into bed, my fingers continued their exploration. It didn’t feel anywhere near as good as when he’d done it, but it was enough to help me fall asleep with a smile on my face.

  chapter Six

  Enthralled

  The next two weeks were so surreal I wasn’t even sure I could dream up a better scenario. We moved out of our apartment and into the new building. I now had my own space. Kim had taken the second floor and I was on the third, since she claimed it made more sense that she was closer to the offices.

  It would take another two weeks for her to have a fully-staffed center, so our time was basically spent getting acclimated to our new living arrangements and me waiting for Jack to take me out at night.

  He’d done little more than kiss me since that night on his boat, and I was worried that I wasn’t experienced enough for him. Anytime I initiated more than a kiss, he smiled indulgently, but never took things further.

  Usually, he would give me some crazy comment about how he couldn’t wait until I was his. What did that even mean? In my mind I couldn’t be more his than I already was, so I still didn’t understand what he was waiting for.

  Kim and I had beautiful new wardrobes now. He’d taken us both shopping, stating that we were now both representatives for the company. Since my sister seemed to find it appropriate that he’d clothed us, it was hard to argue with his reasoning. I no longer felt insecure when we were out together. And we were always going somewhere.

  Jack had taken me to the museum, a Broadway musical, and even indulged me when I asked for a trip to the zoo. We took the boat out several times, but not once did it end up with us back in the bedroom. The only thing not perfect with our newfound relationship was the fact that he refused to touch me again. I’d started taking the birth control shot, and was ready to take things to the next level.

  Kim was the only person I could talk to about my feelings for Jack, and she thought it was charming that he’d decided to hold off on taking our relationship to the next level. Charming for her, maybe, but frustrating to me since he’d opened my eyes to a new world of passion. Since her and Dante were now seeing each other, I doubted she had any idea how frustrated I really felt.

  I was down in the office with her, making calls to different social organizations about joining in our efforts. Kim had made me a calling sheet, but even with it, I was learning how difficult her job was. Using Jacks name normally turned the conversation in my favor, and I discovered the benefit of having him as a benefactor.

  We stopped for lunch and ate upstairs in Kim’s apartment. With her new salary she kept the refrigerator fully stocked, and I knew it was because we’d never been able to have so much before.

  “So where is Jack taking you tonight?” She smiled widely as she joined me at the table with her salad.

  “Probably someplace outrageously expensive.” I was sulking and knew that I should have been excited to do all the things he planned.

  “I take back everything I said about him. Any man that’s willing to woo a girl for two straight weeks has my respect.”

  “Personally I wish that he’d been more like you thought in the beginning,” I grumbled. Pushing away my fruit, I stood up from the table, exasperated.

  Kim laughed, nearly choking on her food before controlling herself. “Maybe you should buy yourself a BOB.” The amusement on Kim’s face made me want to slap her.

  “It’s not funny!” Walking over to the refrigerator I pulled out a soda, popping the top. “Do you think there’s something wrong with me? Maybe I just don’t do it for him.” What else could it be? I’d basically thrown myself at him every way I knew how and he’d turned me down. Granted my idea of coming on to him probably wasn’t that obvious.

  “There’s nothing wrong with you, baby girl. He’s giving you a chance to get to know him better. I think it’s sweet.”

  “The only thing I don’t know about him is his social security number.” I rolled my eyes and sat back down at the table with her, sipping on my drink.

  “Then tell him you’re ready.” Her suggestion was so simple, and the one thing I hadn’t tried. I’d pressed closer to him when we were in the car. Smiled up at him in what I thought was that come-hither way, and even put my hand on his leg, squeezing it softly, hoping he’d get the idea. All he gave me was that sweet, indulgent look that had me ready to jump in his lap and demand he replay the time we’d spent in that bed.

  “You don’t think that would be too forward?” As much as I wanted him, the thought of just saying the words outright embarrassed me.

  “I think unless you’re going to start enjoying toys, you’ll have to.” She grinned again, but my glare prompted her to try to bite it back. “He obviously thinks you need more time. Maybe you do?”

  “What I need is to stop wondering how it would feel to finish the act.” I blushed, feeling a little ashamed for talking to my sister about this.

  “Like you said before, you’re a grown woman. I told you what I would do, but the decision is up to you.”

  The change in Kim since I’d said those words had been almost instantaneous. Not once in the last few weeks had she told me what to do, and I strangely missed the way she used to mother me. Somehow, I felt Jack was partly the reason for her change of attitude. After explaining how much of gentleman he’d been, I think Kim enjoyed knowing he wasn’t rushing me.

  “Are you and Dante doing the deed?”

  “Emily!” I was amazed as her cheeks flushed and thought it was nice to see her ruffled around the edges instead of me.

  “What? I tell you everything. All I asked is if you two were, you know, being intimate.”

  “What Dante and I do really has no bearing on your relationship with Jack.” She focused on her salad and I knew without her saying anything they were indeed sharing a bed. They’d known each other relatively the same amount of time Jack and I had, so that discouraged me, too.

  “I’m tired of waiting!”

  “It’s a little different, baby girl. We’ve both been around the block a time or two. Your first time should be magical.” A wistful look found her beautiful face and I sighed.

  “Was yours?”

  Kim laughed at that and it wasn’t one filled with humor. “No. I was so drunk I barely remembered it, and it took me almost a year before wanting to do it again. You’ll be glad you waited, trust me.”

  “Did it hurt?” I really was naïve when it came to the act. Outside of my sex-education classes in high school, I had no idea what it would be like.

  “Like I said, I was pretty drunk, but it wasn’t the best feeling in the world. It gets better, though. I imagine if the guy had known what he was doing, it would’ve been more, um, fulfilling. It took me several times before I could get off while having sex.”

  “
Jack made me do that with just his fingers.” Why I blurted that out, I had no idea. I’d told her he’d touched me a week after the deed, never going into detail. It only came out after I mentioned that he hadn’t even tried again.

  “Now who’s giving too much information?” Kim laughed and shook her head. “Seriously, though, that he pleased you only proves that the first time will be different for you.”

  Just thinking about Jack doing that to me again made me clench my legs together. “I’m telling him I’m ready tonight.”

  “Are you sure? You can only have one first time.” She looked concerned, and I realized that maybe she didn’t need to know everything.

  “I don’t know. Maybe.” There was no doubt in my mind that I was telling him, but for all I knew he might not take me up on the offer. If there was one thing I’d learned about Jack over the last few weeks, it was that he liked being in control. Outside of the one zoo trip, he planned everything we did. It didn’t really bother me since I didn’t know his world well.

  “Just make sure you’re ready. I’d hate to have to kick his ass if he didn’t do you right.” She winked at me, telling me she was joking, but I wasn’t so sure she wouldn’t do just that if he ever hurt me. Kim had stopped mothering me, but a part of me knew that she’d never stop feeling like she was responsible for what happened in my life.

  We finished our lunch, and I steered her away from comments about my relationship by talking about the center. Her mind was wrapped around it completely and I knew it was the easiest way to get her thinking of something else.

  chapter seven

  Learning

  I’d had my legs waxed the day before, since Jack had talked me into spending a few hours at the day spa. I’d turned down a bikini waxing, thinking that was much too personal for strangers to do. Besides, I had no idea why I wanted to be waxed down there, anyway.

  Getting ready for my date, I took a hot bubble bath, and enjoyed not having to shave my legs or armpits. Even though the waxing had been painful, this was definitely a benefit. I soaked until my fingers were pruned then got out and began a new pampering routine I’d learned from the ladies at the spa.
