Istared at the woman I was quickly coming to care for, wanting nothing more than to take her back to my room and worship every inch of her body. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Evie, I can’t make any promises right now. I have a tour I need to finish. I’m meeting up with my band…”
Everly reached up and covered my mouth with her fingers, a slow smile spreading across her face. “Did I ask you for any promises, Alexander Scott?” Slowly, I shook my head. “Then stop trying to put words in my mouth. I want tonight. Possibly another week or two, depending on what you can give me. Beyond that, I have no expectations. I know what kind of life you lead. I understand.”
She said she did, but the look in her eyes said more. The thing was, I was pretty sure mine were saying the same thing. I wanted something with Everly. Something more than just one night or one week. But I had commitments—obligations I couldn’t shirk.
Taking her hand in mine, I brought it to my lips and kissed her knuckles. “I want to promise you the world, Everly Chase. I can’t do that right now, but I can promise you every day until I have to leave for my next gig.”
“Sold,” she whispered, those beautiful eyes dancing with an emotion I was afraid to try to name.
Sliding an arm around her waist, I held her close as we made our way back to the bed-and-breakfast. We were both silent, the air vibrating with anticipation. I was rock hard at the thought of being inside her and had to reach down to adjust myself discreetly twice.
It was quiet when we entered the dimly lit lobby. I grabbed Everly’s hand and pulled her quickly over to the stairs, up them, and back to my room. I slid the key into the lock and got the door open just as I heard voices below. We both laughed as we slipped inside my room, shutting the door before anyone could see us.
“Trying to save your reputation?” Everly teased, laughing up at me.
“That depends,” I whispered, cupping her face in the palms of my hands.
“On what?”
“Are you going to take advantage of me, Ms. Chase?”
Her eyes went to my mouth, and she licked her lips. “God, I hope so.”
I groaned, leaning down and capturing her lips with mine. The taste of her was like heaven, and no matter how many times I kissed her, I couldn’t get enough. Tracing her lips with my tongue, I moved my hands down to her jacket, zipping it open and slowly sliding it from her shoulders. Not taking my mouth from hers, I tossed it over in the direction of the chair that stood in a corner. Everly giggled, her hands finding my coat and doing the same.
Her hands slid under my shirt, and I jumped at the ice-cold feel of them. She giggled again, and I nipped at her bottom lip, then soothed it with my tongue. “Not funny,” I whispered, paying her back with the feel of my own cold hands against the soft skin of her back, just under the hem of her shirt. I swallowed the muffled shriek that she let out, then leaned back to slip the shirt over her head, before chasing those delectable lips again.
Everly gasped, her hands going to my belt. She had it undone, the button open and my zipper down within seconds. “Fuck, Everly,” I growled when she grasped my cock after it sprang free. I pushed into her hand, loving the way it felt snug around me.
“Alex,” she moaned, throwing her head back when my lips trailed hot, wet kisses down the side of her neck. “Please!”
“I’ve got you, baby.”
I pulled back so she could get rid of my shirt, then helped her slide my jeans down and off, along with my boxers. I stood naked in front of her and wanted nothing more than for her to be the same way. But when I reached for her, she shook her head and stepped back. I froze when she slipped her hands into the side of the black pants she was wearing, and then slid them over her hips and down, revealing dark red panties and creamy white thighs. The second her pants were off, I was on my knees, my hands spanning the sides of her waist and then moving lower.
“You are so fucking beautiful, Evie,” I breathed, leaning in to trace my tongue over the area right below her belly button. “So beautiful.”
My hands went around to cradle her ass, and a deep groan of appreciation slipped out when I found myself cupping bare skin. I dropped my gaze lower, rasping her name. My Evie had only a thin layer of material separating me from what I wanted, and nothing else.
Leaning in, I placed my mouth over the silk that hid that wet pussy from me. Everly gasped, rotating her hips and pushing up against my mouth. Grasping the small strip of lace that ran up the crack of her ass, I yanked, snapping it in two, then I did the same to the one on the side, before removing the thong from her.
The minute her pussy was bared to me, I ran my tongue up the slit between her lips, loving the way she tasted. She was shaved, all except a light blonde strip that ran over those glistening lips, and that part was trimmed really short. So fucking sexy.
Finding her clit, I flicked it with my tongue as I pushed one finger inside her hot, wet sheath, and then one more. Moving them in and out, I sucked gently on the small nub, then licked it again.
“Alex. Oh, God, Alex!”
Everly’s low, quiet moans had my cock so hard, I knew I wasn’t going to last long. She shoved her hands into my hair, clutching the strands tightly as she pushed against my mouth, panting my name. It didn’t take long, and soon she was coming on my tongue.
Pulling my fingers from her, I rose and found her mouth with mine. My hands went to her ass, cradling her under the round globes and lifting her up until my aching cock was rubbing against her wet heat.
Turning, I rested her back against the wall, and then found her entrance with the tip of my dick. Slowly, I pushed inside of her, groaning when I was surrounded by fiery silk. Pulling my mouth from hers, I nipped and sucked my way down her neck until I made it to the top of her breasts that were still covered in dark, red lace.
“Fuck, you feel good, baby,” I growled when I finally made it all the way inside her. “So good.”
