The relaxed atmosphere disappears in an instant. I move to pull my feet away, nervous about the intensity of whatever is pulsing in the air between us, but as I do, my toes brush against the now obvious bulge in the crotch of his trousers. He lets out a low growl, an honest to God growl, and instead of it being weird, I’m even more turned on as my desire continues to edge higher.
He holds my feet where they are, takes another deep breath, and swallows slowly, returning to rubbing my feet in silence. I watch him cautiously and attempt to steady my racing heart. This time, instead of an innocent massage, his hands drift a little higher with each stroke. He wraps his hands around my ankles, massaging up my calves and back down again to my feet. Tingles erupt everywhere he touches, and I’m in absolute bliss, mesmerised by the heat between us as his magical hands send jolts of electricity straight to my core. Tipping my head back, I close my eyes as his hands drift even higher, tickling me as he skims over the sensitive spots behind my knees and up the outside of my thighs.
I can feel him watching me, but I can’t open my eyes. The sensations are already so intense and overwhelming, I can’t focus on anything else. It’s like the bar, but amplified by a thousand. He strokes gently from my ankles up the inside of my legs, all the way to the top of my thighs, and I shiver as he reaches my underwear. His fingertips skim along the edges of my silk panties and follow the hem all around to my ass. He traces the same path back again, this time edging underneath the thin fabric an inch, teasing and stroking, and my sex quivers.
My insides coil tight, and I’m spellbound by what he is doing. I’ve never had someone take their time the way he does, to focus all their attention on me, pleasing me with no rush at all. As if he has all the time in the world and is simply enjoying himself. It makes me feel so cherished. Parting my legs an inch wider to give him better access, I’m rewarded as he trails his fingertips along the edge of my panties and down the side of my lips, around to the sensitive skin where my thigh meets the underside of my ass. I gasp as he strokes my clit through my panties and arch slightly off the couch, seeking more pressure. The sensual caresses drive me wild, but they’re not enough.
“Cooper!” Frustration colours my voice as he does it again and I toss my head restlessly, not knowing what to do with myself as my need for him builds. I could come just from his delicate, teasing touches alone, but it’s not what I want. He chuckles, obviously enjoying how much he’s driving me mad with this sweet, sweet torture.
“Do you like that, Hayley? Tell me what you want,” he whispers, still seated on the other side of the couch and stubbornly out of reach. He dips a finger under the edge of my panties and swipes it through the wetness at my opening without entering me more than an inch. Every muscle in my core clenches in anticipation of the intrusion that never comes. I feel like crying when he doesn’t push his finger deeper inside but moves back to gently circling my clit, a little too softly, a little too far away to push me over the edge.
“Fuck, Cooper. Do whatever you want. More, I just need more!” I pant.
CHAPTER 23
HAYLEY
I’m practically begging him, but I don’t care one bit at this point. It’s too much. He gently pulls my silk underwear down between my legs, flinging the tiny scrap of material over his shoulder. In the next moment, his mouth is on me. I cry out in pleasure as he licks and flicks at my sensitive clit. Twirling and circling with his talented tongue, before delivering long, firm strokes over it that have me attempting to crawl up the couch away from the strength of the sensations. He pushes a finger inside me as he continues to suck, and my sex clamps down, so close it’s unbearable before he slowly adds a second finger to increase the sensation.
His other hand drifts over my stomach, holding me in place as I writhe underneath him and he increases the tempo of his movements with the fingers inside me. I’m on the verge of coming, but I’m holding back, tensing to delay my release. It’s a monumental effort to hold off as he curls his fingers inside me, stroking in and out at the same time. The added sensation hits my g-spot and ratchets everything up another level. I can’t hold it back any longer. He throws me into the strongest orgasm I have ever experienced. I toss my head back and call his name, my eyes flying open in shock at the power of it as Cooper pulls me to him. Powerful aftershocks continue, making me twitch and shudder despite being wrapped up in his powerful arms.
“Goddess, that was amazing, Hayley. I need you right now. Tell me I can have you at last.” His breath on the shell of my ear and neck is ragged, and his deep husky voice is filled with so much longing, my head is spinning. I have no idea what is happening to me, but every fibre of my being is begging for him to take me, to be possessed by him. I can’t speak, so I just nod. He grabs my chin, tilting my face up to kiss me.
“I want to hear you say it, Princess. I need to hear you say you want this as much as I do.” He speaks into my neck as he licks and kisses the spot on my neck that makes me crazy. I know I shouldn’t be doing this. I’m supposed to be taking a break from men, but I couldn’t stop myself even if I wanted to. I’m out of control and it’s oh so good.
“Yes, Cooper, I want you. Take me,” I whisper. He growls in satisfaction and devastates me with a soul-deep kiss, his tongue tangling with mine and his hand cupping my cheek with such reverence, my heart soars.
“I’m on the pill,” I add for good measure, just so we’re on the same page. He sits back for a second, looking at me spread out in front of him with undisguised lust, and nods. It’s raw and carnal, like I’m the prey and he’s the predator.
“I’m clean, I promise,” he whispers, “I’ve never...”
“Me too. I’ve never gone bare before, but I want to, with you.” I bite my lip, a little shocked at my boldness.
“Fuck... Hayley, you are something else,” he mutters, staring into my eyes. My breath catches as he rips his t-shirt over his head and opens his jeans, shoving his boxer briefs down and frees his massive cock. As I stare at the size of it, I’m not sure this is going to work.
He shucks his jeans, and my dress and bra follow shortly after. He captures my hands and pushes them slowly up to either side of my head, pinning them against the cushions as he rakes his heated gaze over my naked body from head to toe. Instead of feeling exposed or vulnerable, I feel sexy and desired.
He reaches for me again and presses soft kisses to my breasts and stomach as he circles my clit with his fingers. Worshipping my already sensitive body and building my arousal again. He kisses my breasts, sucking and nibbling at my nipples. He tugs and pinches them as they pebble under his attention, before taking the weight of each breast in his hand and squeezing them.
“So fucking perfect, and all mine,” he mutters to himself, as returns to licking and biting my neck and shoulder, making me moan and gasp.
“Open your eyes, Hayley,” he commands, and I force my eyes open again, despite the desire to screw them tight against the onslaught of sensations making heat spread through my body and making my toes curl. I meet his gaze as he stares down at me with pure, unbridled desire flashing in his eyes, before lining up and plunging his cock into me in one deep thrust.
“Cooper!” I cry out as I come again, all the foreplay and build-up tonight, of the last two weeks, coming together in one explosion. Finally, having him inside me, filling me completely, feels better than I ever imagined. He pulls us into a seated position, buried deep inside me as I straddle his lap until I’m coherent again, resting my head on the bulging muscles in his shoulder. His whole body is tense, muscles straining and the tendons in his neck standing out as he restrains himself and holds still, waiting to see if I am alright. His cock twitches inside me as I shift slightly and he pushes deeper inside me.
“Holy shit, Cooper.” I shake my head in disbelief, completely stunned at the power of what is happening. He kisses me tenderly before he somehow stands with us still joined, wrapping my legs around his waist as if I weigh nothing at all. His lips crash down on mine as he kisses me, walking into the hallway. He whispers how beautiful and sexy I am, how hot it was to see me break apart just for him. I place my hands on his tanned, muscular shoulders and lift myself slightly using my thighs, before lowering back down on him, rocking my hips to meet his as he hisses, and bites my lip. All plans of making it to a bedroom appear to be on hold as he growls and spins, pressing me against the nearest wall, shifting my weight to just one arm.
“Hayley, you feel so good,” he moans, pressing his forehead to mine and thrusting once deep inside me again.
I rock my hips, desperately needing to feel him move again. I swear I can feel his cock pulsing inside of me and I want him to take his pleasure, to see him lose control as I have. To see if I can make him feel as good as he makes me feel. He smirks into my neck at my attempt to take matters into my own hands, and presses me a little harder against the wall, his hands under my ass roughly squeezing both cheeks.
He tilts his hips into mine and pushes so deep that he fills me to the hilt. I moan loudly in pleasure at the sensation of feeling so full, so completely owned. Thrusting in and out, every inch of him stretching me, his crown rubs against that perfect spot with each roll of his hips. The base of his cock grinds against my clit with each thrust. I rub my hands down his strong back, and I can feel his big muscles bunching and moving under his skin with each powerful thrust.
“Not here. You deserve a bed, Princess.” He pulls us away from the wall and resumes the walk quickly towards the back of his cabin. I know he is a big man, but I marvel at how he carries me so easily.
“Hayley, you feel so amazing... so tight,” he breathes, kicking open the door and lowering us both to the mattress. “I wanted to take my time making you come again and again, but I can’t. I need to have you right now. I can’t wait any longer,” he says, and my pussy clenches tightly in agreement, loving this dominant side of him. He kisses me deeply again and grabs my breasts roughly, squeezing them before kissing each one gently and licking over my nipples. All the while rocking in and out of me, slowly building the pace and the force behind each thrust.
He shifts his position so that he is higher up my body, his pelvis rubbing my clit again as he moves faster, harder. With each thrust, I feel myself inching higher on the bed. Lifting my arms above my head, I brace myself against the headboard and stop myself from moving as he pounds into me with more force now. Grunting and groaning, he’s completely lost in his pleasure, and I watch with delight as his muscles tense and tighten. His release is close.
“I have wanted this for so long, Hayley... to make you mine,” he growls as he reaches between us and strums my clit in time with each thrust.
“Oh God, Cooper. I can’t... I can’t again.” He drives me towards my peak again and I whimper. I can’t concentrate on anything he is saying, only the warm tingly sensations that are coursing through my body, as I am impossibly close to coming a third time.
“Yes, you can. Wait for me, princess,” he orders. I am moaning and panting as I feel my control slipping, the sensation of being completely owned by him making me feel almost delirious.
“I... I’m going to... I can’t...,” I cry, clinging to him desperately as I’m overwhelmed, swept past my limits. It is all just too much sensation. He lifts my hips to deepen the angle and thrusts hard, holding tight and pulling me to meet him each time. I grip his thighs and dig my nails in as he powers into me once, twice, three times. I can’t hold on any longer when he presses hard against my clit with his thumb. My body shakes as I call out his name, another orgasm rocketing through me.
With one last thrust, I feel him shudder as he roars, releasing deep inside me, gripping my waist tightly to hold me in place while he empties into me. He pulses in and out slowly a few times, dragging out my release before finally collapsing over me, careful to keep most of his weight off me, his head buried in the crook of my neck.
“Hayley,” he whispers reverently, and my heart flutters at the way he says my name, at the emotion that one word conveys.
Reaching up, I trail my fingers through his dark hair and the curls at his neck, marvelling at this gentle yet strong man who has turned my world upside down. Cooper has me enthralled. It might not be a good thing, but it feels amazing right now. He turns his head to mine, kissing my nose softly as his gorgeous face lights up in a soft smile and his breathing evens out again and our heart rates settle.
“That was unbelievable. I don’t even know what that was.” I’m dumbfounded, and he laughs, rolling onto his side and grabbing my hands to bring them up to his lips to kiss each finger and palm.
“You’re unbelievable,” he says, smiling at me with a look of adoration I have never been on the receiving end of before.
“You have some serious skills, Mr. Jones.” He beams with pride. I swear his chest puffs out. I have never had that much pleasure from sex, from anything. He brought me to ecstasy so quickly and easily. But it was more than that, and I’m emotional from how connected I feel to him right now. Amid all the passion and frenzy, something happened. Something deeper.
“I’ve never done that before,” he admits, meeting my eye. For a second, I think he meant sex. But that can’t be right, because he was amazing. And this man is gorgeous.
“Go bare? Yeah, me neither, it was pretty spectacular.”
“No, any of it, Hayley. You’re my first. I’ve done some fooling around, but never all the way.”
I attempt not to look as shocked as I feel. How has this hunk never had sex before?
“I don’t understand. How are you that good, then?” I ask bluntly before I can stop the words tumbling out of my mouth, and he chuckles.
“The right partner, I guess,” he rumbles as he plants a kiss to the tip of my nose. “Will you stay here tonight with me?” He asks, looking me in the eye, and seems genuinely nervous. It’s endearing after his very commanding performance this evening. Again, a little something in me appreciates that even though things between us have moved extremely fast over the last week. He still stops to check in and ask at each step. A little voice niggles in the back of my head that this will blow any notions I had of it being a fling completely out of the water, but I’ll worry about that tomorrow.
“Okay.” I smile at him drowsily, and he plants another panty-melting kiss on me before wrapping me up in his big brawny arms, breathing in and out deeply into my hair. His smell and his warmth are so comforting, and I’m so exhausted I drift off to sleep instantly with a dopey smile on my face.
CHAPTER 24
COOPER
After what we did last night, it’s like I can physically feel the mate bond getting stronger between us. As if we have added one more thread to the invisible connection that will bond us forever. Even though she hasn’t moved yet, I know she is awake, and I feel a twinge of anxiousness flowing from Hayley, which immediately makes me nervous.
“Hayley, promise me that if we’re going too fast, you’ll tell me. Just talk to me, okay? We have something special here and I don’t want to ruin it,” I say quietly against her neck, laying my cards out on the table, fear that I pushed too soon gnawing at my insides. Something in her face flickers and I wonder if I’ve just hit the nail on the head.
Damn it, I got too carried away. Or maybe she is put off by my admission that it was my first time. Is that too much pressure?
I brush a kiss to the top of her shoulder, her golden skin too tempting to resist, before turning her gently to face me. She’s wearing a sleepy little smile that settles my nerves a bit, but I still need to know.
“Are you sorry last night happened?” I ask, steeling myself for her response. If she regrets it and pulls away from me, I’m not sure I’ll be able to take it.
“Cooper, I’m happy about that, so happy, trust me,” she whispers, as she moves to straddle me, sitting back on my thighs, giving me a perfect view of her body with the early morning sunlight streaming through the windows. She rubs her hands across my chest and trails them down my abdomen, and then along the muscles running from my hips to my groin. Her gaze follows her hands as she dips them even further down, but I catch them before she touches me there.
“Jesus. You’re killing me here. Please, Hayley, we can take things slow, you don’t have to...” She cuts me off with a shake of her head as she bends down and plants a kiss on my collarbone. Her hair falls across my chest, tickling me and sending goosebumps across my skin as she wriggles lower, kissing and licking her way down my stomach.
“Hayley, don’t start that unless you plan to finish it,” I growl, and she peeks up at me before glancing down along my body at my rock-hard dick.
“Maybe that’s exactly what I want to do?” She smiles and bites her plump bottom lip between her teeth as she sees how hard I am for her, how much she turns me on. She wraps her hand around my cock, her grip firm, and begins pumping up and down slowly over my hard length, making my eyes roll back into my head. With her other hand, she reaches for my balls and rolls them gently. I lie back and cover my face with my arm, a groan of pleasure leaving my lips. I can’t watch or I’ll go off in about two seconds. She just looks so fucking hot.
She slides her tongue along the v reaching down to my groin, and my thighs and ass tense as I struggle not to move and take back control of the situation. I enjoy being the one in charge. It’s hard to give her all the power, but she seems to love it. She chances a glance up at me, and I stare back from between my fingers. I know my eyes are pure black where my wolf is pushing through, and I clench my elongated teeth behind firmly shut lips to stop myself from hauling her up the bed and embedding them in her neck this instant. Marking her as mine forever.
I reach out to touch her hair, tucking it behind her ear as she moves closer to my groin and gently licks the very tip of my cock, taking the bead of pre-cum that’s already there and swirling her tongue around the head, flicking the sensitive spot on the underside.
