“I’d never want to get in the way of your songwriting,” I said carefully.
“There’s so much more to it than just that, though,” she said. “Marketing, developing a brand, social media, researching all of the open mic nights, building a following, getting opening spots for other acts where you would align with their fans to bring them over…it’s a huge amount of time and energy.”
“And you’re not sure if you want a guy around to distract you,” I said flatly.
“I don’t…” She looked up at me, her eyes filling with tears.
“Jesus, no,” I murmured, pulling her into my lap and into my arms. “Please don’t cry, kitten. I would never want to overtake your life. I know some couples spend every waking moment together, but that would drive me nuts. I have my own work. I’m a total loner. I just…maybe there’s a way we can figure things out.”
Her face tilted up to mine, as I wiped away a tear with my thumb. “My sweet little kitten,” I whispered, “Could you think about it for me? Could we find a way to be together that will make you happy?”
She froze, staring at me strangely with her hands gently holding my biceps. She paused, as if she was breathing me in. Then her hands slid up my arms, my shoulders, gliding into the back of my hair.
“I don’t know how you manage to make me feel this good,” she murmured. Then her sweet lips met mine, my hands sliding down to grip her ass as I pulled her against me. My cock lurched under her, instantly completely hard, straining against the fabric of my jeans.
“I love how much you want me,” she gasped, then her eyes flew wide as if she was shocked at what she had just said.
“I just want you to love me,” I growled without thought. Before I even knew what was happening, she had straddled me, unfastening my jeans as I lifted her skirt and tore her panties off, throwing them across the room as she squealed again.
Slipping a finger inside her, she was already drenched. “Fuck, I love how wet you are for me,” I murmured, pulling down the front of her dress to suck her nipple into my mouth while I fingered her.
Lifting my hips, I awkwardly pulled my jeans down with one hand while she helped me. Feeling her little hands around my shaft made my teeth tighten on her skin, her cries making me even hotter.
?
??Do you know what you’re doing to me right now?” I rasped, gripping the back of her hair to look into her eyes. I had to be sure that she was seriously into this.
Kate flashed me a sassy smile as she nodded. “I’m going to be a naughty kitten for you,” she breathed.
A shudder ran through me. Fuck, I loved that she already knew how to hit my buttons. Angling her hips, I moved my hand away. “Put it in, kitten. Play with your new toy.”
The fire in her eyes was almost as erotic as the feeling of her obeying me, taking the head of my shaft and dragging it through her soaking pussy lips.
“Like this?” She was teasing both of us perfectly, her eyes lighting up from the contact on her hot little button. I watched as she stroked herself with my skin. Those sweet green eyes blazed mischievously.
Yanking her against me, I nuzzled her throat, working up to her ear, my words spilling out frantically. “Ride me, kitten. Show me you love me. Take me inside you and ride me until you scream.”
The sweetest word I’ve ever heard in my life filled my ears as she began to sink down onto me.
“Yes.”
CHAPTER ELEVEN
* Kate *
A vortex of new emotions was swirling inside me as I moved slowly, hoping that this time I could take a bit more of him inside me, without pain.
The urge to open myself to him in every possible way was overwhelming. Knowing that he loved me, and suspecting that I loved him, made everything blur together.
Staring into his eyes, I could see that Ray didn’t have a filter. He didn’t seem capable of hiding his feelings.
His large hands cupped my ass gently, helping me balance as he guided me slowly down. My thighs tightened as I bobbed slightly, trying to ease his girth into my snug, wet tunnel. Sparks flew through my bloodstream as I felt my body opening for his. Each stroke nudged his length a little deeper, until I felt him finally touch the very end of my tunnel.
A shudder ran through both of us, his eyes wide. Then he smiled, darting in to rake his teeth across the skin between my neck and my shoulder. “My sweet little kitten. So hungry for me that she took the whole thing.”
We began to rock together, deep and slow. I whimpered loudly when I realized that if I leaned forward a bit, I could rub my clit directly against him.
All logical thought drained from my mind as my body took over completely. Rising and falling, I moved his body through mine, making both of us moan. I felt powerful, even as I felt like he was controlling me. It was hard to think at all as he gripped my hips, helping me by pumping up into me gently.
