Twelve Days of Temptation (A Hot Holiday Novella) (Temptation #1) (12 page)
This time when his fingers thrust into her, she came instantly, powerfully. She thrashed back and forth on the table, unable to reach him as she soared once again beneath his touch.
She was slowly coming down from her second orgasm when she heard a condom wrapper tear open. She quivered with anticipation.
He took her still-tied hands and pulled her to a seated position, then lifted her once again so her legs wrapped around his waist. He took a few steps forward until she felt the cold, hard wall behind her. One of his hands held both of hers above her head while the other cupped her ass and held her easily against the wall.
He plundered her mouth with his. The taste of her mixed with the taste of him, and Kate met him eagerly. She couldn’t get enough of him. He was all around her, filling her senses and driving her out of her mind with desire.
Gentleness fell away as his need for her overtook him. He thrust upward, filling her completely. This was no tease. He fucked her mouth with his tongue while he drove deeper and deeper into her. Kate opened her mouth and her legs wider for him, welcoming his claiming. She looped her tied hands behind his head as he pounded even deeper into her. Faster and deeper until she was calling out his name, and he was swearing.
She came again, expecting him to join her, but he didn’t. He untied her hands and lowered her to the floor. She could barely stand, swaying before him helplessly, wantonly his for wherever or however he wanted to take her.
He turned her around so she faced the wall and lifted her again. Bending her legs, he held her under her knees while she steadied her hands against the wall. He entered her with one powerful thrust from behind. His breath was hot and ragged on her neck as he drove himself into her. This was a primal fucking like none she’d ever experienced. He took her with a power and command that had tears of pleasure running down her cheeks. Everything she’d thought she’d known about sex was blown away by the intensity of their mating.
He came with one final thrust, and she would have collapsed at his feet if he hadn’t continued to hold her. He lowered her slowly to the floor, then removed her blindfold. She turned in his arms and met his eyes.
He pulled her against his chest and softly kissed her upturned mouth. “Is that what you were looking for?”
If she could have spoken then, she would have said yes. Instead, she just nodded and smiled.
Holy fucking Christmas, that was good.
The next morning, Kate woke in the heavenly warmth of Brock’s embrace. Nothing in her life—or her imagination—had prepared her for the amount of pleasure Brock had given her. She’d thought Mr. Elf had been exciting, but he paled into obscurity beside the reality of being with a man who wanted to please her even more than he wanted to be pleased by her.
The idea that she could have everything she wanted in one man was almost too good to believe. There had to be a hitch. She ran her fingers absently over his lips.
He caught her hand and kissed it. “Why are you awake?”
“I’m just thinking about you.”
“The nice me, or the me who gave you four orgasms last night?”
“Both.” Kate kissed his chest. “Last night was amazing. It was like you knew exactly what I wanted.”
He tensed beside her. “You were pretty clear with your requests.”
Absently tracing her hand over his jaw, Kate couldn’t help feeling like there was something she was missing. “It didn’t feel like our first time. I don’t have a lot to compare it to, but is it always like that for you?”
He put his hand on hers and brought it back to his mouth. “It never has been, and I can’t imagine it ever could be with anyone else.” He kissed each of her fingers gently, slowly.
She smiled. “We’re good together.”
“Kate, we’re fucking amazing together.”
She hugged his chest and loved how his arms wrapped around her, holding her close. “What do we do now?”
“Besides more of last night?”
She slapped his chest playfully. “Yes, besides that.”
“We need to move in together.”
She pulled back in surprise. “Now? We haven’t even really dated.”
“I don’t want to sleep without you by my side. I don’t care how much shit you have to bring to my place or I have to bring to your place to make that happen.”
“You’re pushier than I thought.”
“Only when it comes to getting what I want. And I want you, Kate.”
Kate smiled and rested on his chest again. “I want you, too, Brock. And I don’t want to sleep without you by my side, either. I guess we’ll just have to figure everything else out as we go.”
Brock tensed beneath her again. “I’m not a perfect man, Kate. I make mistakes. I’m sure there will come a time when I’ll do something to piss you off. But I want to be with you more than I’ve ever wanted to be with anyone. If I ever do disappoint you, promise me you’ll stick around so we can work it out.”
Kate studied his expression. “Is there something you’re not telling me?” He kissed her deeply and, as passion stirred within Kate, she nearly forgot what she’d asked him.
“Yes, I have plans for you today. I noticed you don’t have a Christmas tree. Let’s decorate your house, Kate. Let’s decorate mine. You and me. Naked and hanging festive shit everywhere. Let’s make this the best fucking Christmas either of us have ever had.”
No longer dreading the coming holiday, Kate chuckled. “That’s how you want to spend our day?”
He ran his hand down her back and laid it possessively on her bare ass. “Yes, because I know where you’ll be tonight. With me. You’re mine, Kate.”
Kate met his eyes and slid a hand down to stroke his quickly hardening shaft. “Well, if you’re sure you don’t want to stay in . . .”
He rolled over so he was on top of her and eased himself between her legs. He slipped his tip between her lower lips and rubbed it up and down her clit. “It probably doesn’t take that long to decorate. We can do it later.”
“Can I go first today?”
He leaned down and growled in her ear, “Whatever you want, Kate. However you want it.”
In her head, Kate sent out a quick apology:
Dear Santa,
I would like to formally apologize for my previous letter. I will never doubt you again.
Happily enjoying my early Christmas present,
Untouchable
Kate.

Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York—then came full circle and moved back to Rhode Island. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.
She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love– writing and has never been happier. When she’s not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm, riding her horses, or connecting with her readers online.
