She told her what she was comfortable with, not wanting to cheapen what she’d done with Ryan. The amazing first kiss. The heart-stopping first touch. The overall feeling of contentment. The unpretentious enjoyment of what they’d shared.
“Wow,” Pam said. She finished her beer and pushed away her plate. “So are you going to see her again?”
“In a few weeks.”
“Oh, I thought you said you had a date tomorrow night.”
“I do. With a different woman.”
Pam’s smile was genuine. “Girl, you’re living the dream.”
She tossed money on the table and gathered her things. “That I am.” Of course, those dreams were expensive, but so far they’d been well worth the sacrifice.
Chapter Fourteen
At exactly seven o’clock, a silver Audi roared to a stop in front of Dani’s apartment. She watched through the peephole as the occupant, her escort for the evening, strode up the walk with a confident swagger and a cocky smile. Dani waited several long seconds before opening the door. Drake’s gaze slowly traveled over her and the heat in her eyes felt like a tactile experience.
“Hi, I’m Drake, your escort.”
“Hello, Drake.” She extended her hand. “I’m Dani.” Her hand was smooth and engulfed Dani’s much smaller one.
“My pleasure. Shall we go?”
When she turned to get her jacket, she took a breath. Drake was stunning, in a male runway model kind of way. She slipped her crossbody over her shoulder then checked for her keys. When she turned back, she smiled, determined to have a good time, even though she couldn’t quite ignore the tiny stab of disappointment that it wasn’t Ryan at her door instead. “All set.”
Drake wrapped her arm around her waist, then led her to the car. As Drake went around to the driver’s side, Dani followed her movement and the electricity she emitted from where she sat made her skin tingle.
“I thought we’d go for a drink and get to know each other a bit if that’s okay.” Drake’s hand gripped her thigh possessively and the contact made her clit jump.
“That’s fine. I could use a stiff one.” The words were out before she could sensor them.
Drake shot her a heated look and smiled knowingly. “I like a woman who knows what she wants.”
Dani bit the inside of her cheek. The contrasting energy between Drake and Ryan was a bit disconcerting. Ryan’s responses were unhurried, and her overall demeanor was one of sophistication. She sensed Drake was wilder, untamed. Demanding. The air in the car practically crackled from her energy, and Dani’s body was on high alert.
A few minutes later, they pulled up to the valet service at Vapor Night Club, the “in” place to go in Saratoga Springs. Drake spoke to the attendant before meeting Dani on the sidewalk. Music drifted out to them as another patron entered. Drake grasped her hand and led the way. She flashed a VIP card at the door, bypassing the cover charge. The pulsing lights from the ceiling matched the beat of the song playing. It was fairly early to be at a club, and they found a couple of unoccupied seats at the bar.
“What would you like?” Drake asked.
“Grapefruit martini, please.” The bartender nodded and Drake ordered a dirty martini. She almost snorted out loud. The drink choice fit Drake’s personality.
“To enjoying tonight,” Drake said as she lifted her glass in a toast.
Dani let the first sip of alcohol relax her enough that she no longer spun on the merry-go-round that was Drake. “How long have you been an escort?”
Drake sipped from her cocktail. “Let’s see,” she began as she looked at some distant point. “About twelve years.”
Dani had only been doing hair for a few years, but she couldn’t see herself doing anything else. “Do you like what you do?”
“I love sex and I love fucking women. So, yeah, I do.”
“That’s good.” Maybe someday she’d consider a different profession, but she wasn’t in any hurry to change her life. Well, except for being a lesbian. Was she a lesbian now? Did sleeping with a woman twice mean she’d never go back to sleeping with guys? Still so many questions to be answered. She couldn’t see herself long term with any of the men she’d met, then she remembered seeing the shadow that had crossed Ryan’s face when she asked about a partner. What memory had caused the momentary shield Ryan usually had in place to falter? She could have pushed and asked, but she’d realized some things were too private to share, especially since they weren’t dating. She was startled from her thoughts when she heard her name.
“Dani?”
“Hmm?”
“Are you having second thoughts about being with me?” Drake’s eyes had a questioning, almost wounded appearance.
After giving herself a mental kick, she refocused on the woman beside her. There was no reason to fixate on anyone else when there was a gorgeous woman right there. She shook her head and smiled. “No. Sorry. It’s been a long week.”
Drake studied her for a few minutes. “That’s okay.” Her gaze moved to Dani’s lips before returning to her eyes. “I hope I can help you forget for a while.” Drake’s hand possessively held her hip. The bulge in her leather pants left little to the imagination and Dani’s imagination needed no help in thinking about what Drake was going to do with the cock resting against her thigh. She’d been reading up on the subject, surprised at how much information was available on the internet, and glad she hadn’t had to go searching in porn shops for answers to questions she didn’t even have yet.
“Would you like to dance?”
At first glance, Drake’s long blond hair and mesmerizing eyes gave the impression she leaned feminine, though that was in direct contrast to everything else about her. Dani sensed power in her shoulders that were nearly as wide as Ryan’s. Her blood had begun to run hot the moment she’d stepped out of the Audi. She wouldn’t regret a thing about tonight, and the freedom she felt of finally being in control of her life as well as what was happening in her bed, made her light-headed. She finished her drink. “Yes, but not here.”
Drake’s brow rose as her full lips formed a knowing grin. She pulled money from her pocket, leaving a generous tip, and took her hand. “Then let’s not delay.”
Her clothes felt too tight. The anticipation of what would happen when they arrived at whatever apartment they had for the evening made her break out in gooseflesh. She wasn’t afraid. Drake didn’t give off danger vibes, but the energy wafting from her was nonetheless intense. She glanced in her direction.
“I understand you’re looking for a different experience tonight.” Drake shifted smoothly as they cruised along the boulevard.
She laughed. “Am I the subject of many conversations?”
Drake looked over at her, then back at the road. “No. Just looking for clarity to make sure you’re satisfied with this evening’s events.”
Of course. Ryan would have told her of Dani’s request. “I couldn’t help noticing you’ve come prepared.” Their car entered the underground parking for another high-rise condominium and rolled to a stop in front of a wall displaying 8A in black lettering.
Drake turned off the car and smiled. “Please wait for me to open your door.” She took a duffel from the trunk before reaching Dani. “Right this way.” Hand in hand, they walked to the elevator where Drake swiped a key card and pushed eight. The elevator smoothly rose, soft music playing in the background.
The minute she stepped into the enclosed space, Dani again felt Drake’s vibrant life force surround her. Drake leaned against the wall, looking her over from head to toe, the caress of her gaze so intense she could already imagine her touch, sending a shiver up her spine. The bell chimed and the elevator slowed. When the doors opened, she let out the breath she’d been holding, and her vision blurred.
Drake caught her. “Are you all right?”
The hallway in front of her stopped swimming. “Yes, just warm in that small space.” Her smile felt awkward. Drake guided her to a door marked “A” and swiped the card again, then brought her inside. Once she was seated on the leather sofa, Drake went to the bar and produced a couple of waters, opening one.
“Drink some of this, please.”
Grateful for something to do with her hands, she took several swallows and instantly felt better. “Thanks. I’m good now.”
“Well, that’s a relief. I’d hate to think we’d have to cancel our evening.” Drake slid her hand over her ribs, her thumb against the side of her breast.
“That would have been a shame.” She wanted Drake’s touch. Longed to feel her against her and her cock at her soaked entrance.
Drake picked up a remote from the coffee table and the apartment filled with sultry jazz. “Shall we have that dance now?” Her eyes brightened.
“Oh, yeah. I’d like that.” Once in her arms, Drake pressed the prominence in her pants against Dani’s center. It was hard and soft at the same time.
“Can you feel me, Dani?” Drake’s lips brushed the curve of her ear. “I’m going to enjoy fucking you so much.”
If it weren’t for the fact that she was paying a great deal for Drake’s attention she would have told her to take her right there. That’s what a guy would do, and while Drake may have an ambiguous gender name, she was every bit a woman. God. How could she have been so blind for so long? The sudden movement of being backed across the room as they danced jarred her to the present.
“What are you thinking about?” Drake spoke again when Dani hesitated. “Tell me.”
“How much I want you to fuck me and how much I’m struggling with going slow.”
Drake’s hand wove into her hair and she pulled, exposing Dani’s throat. After running her teeth down the column, Drake pinned her against the wall. “Why would you want to go slow?”
She groaned. Every fiber of every nerve in her body was alive, tingling with such anticipation she wasn’t sure she could stop if she wanted to. “Because I’ve never been fucked by a woman. Not…not like that.”
Fingers at the buttons of her shirt, Drake kept her there by pressing her thigh into her center. “Do you think it will be fast? Over before it’s barely begun?” Drake flicked the blouse from her shoulders, then lifted her hands over her head and held them there with one hand while she kneaded her breasts with the unoccupied one.
Thinking became a chore. Nothing made sense. Drake teased her flesh incessantly and her nipples turned into hard pebbles. “No.”
“Do you think my cock will go soft before you’re satisfied?” Drake smoothed over her abdomen, cupped her crotch, and squeezed.
She gasped. “No, no.” She tried to push her away. Her mind warred with her body. She wanted what Drake was offering, but everything was happening so fast, she trembled in her grasp.
“Stop fighting me. Stop fighting yourself and what you want.”
The kiss that followed made her weak-kneed. Drake was much more aggressive than Ryan. Not in a bad way. Different. Uncontrolled. Instinctual. Drake was as wild and dominating as a lion. A powerful animal intent on mating. Dani imagined that was also how she fucked. She’d had enough control in her life. It was time to enjoy what was happening. In the back of her mind, no matter how intimidated she might feel at the moment, she trusted Ryan wouldn’t have sent Drake to her if there was any chance Dani wouldn’t enjoy what she was offering.
“What’s your safe word?”
“What?”
The weight of Drake’s body against her disappeared and her whimper was real. With her hands still held above her head, Drake’s vivid green eyes danced with desire. “You need a safe word because sometimes no doesn’t really mean no, does it? Sometimes,” Drake said as she used her free hand to undo the grommets encasing her hips in leather. “No means keep going. Don’t stop.” She grasped the bulge so close to the opening Dani could almost see it.
Her chest heaved. She was so turned on…so afraid of her own wanton needs, she almost forgot to breathe. Years of being under her parents’ rule had done little to suppress her natural desires, and she’d found refuge in the books she read, her appetite voracious, devouring page after page. She could go anywhere, do anything, with no one to stop her. No one to make her behave or follow a righteous path. Those days were behind her. She would never again succumb to anyone’s will unless she chose to, and here she was, wanting to succumb to whatever Drake wanted.
“Thunder,” she blurted.
To Drake’s credit, she hardly missed a beat as she withdrew her cock from the confines of her pants. The head of a dark purple dildo poked from the opening and Drake ran her fingers along the still covered shaft. “Is this what you want?”
“More than you know.” Her bravery returned. Drake was a professional. She wouldn’t hurt her, or use her, or abuse her unless that’s what she wanted. And even then, there were rules.
Before she knew what was happening, Drake had her naked to the waist and facing the wall, arms splayed out and legs wide. Drake’s hands smoothed over her heated skin while her lips played at her neck, kissing one minute, biting the next. A gush of excitement soaked her panties. Time stood still. In that moment, all there was in her world was Drake’s mouth and hands, and the press of her body. Dani’s legs shook. When she began to slide down the wall, Drake picked her up and carried her to the bed. She sank into the softness, content to let Drake lead.
* * *
Dani focused on slowing her breathing. She rarely thought about being in control of herself. Prior to Ryan, there wasn’t much going on to get worked up about, and the few orgasms she’d had weren’t all that pleasurable, they just…happened. Or not. Drake was not someone she could just go through the motions with. Especially not after she’d come prepared to please her, and Dani had no doubt she would do just that. There was something about Drake that drove her need higher in a way that was primal. She might never see Drake again, but she was certain tonight would be one she wouldn’t easily forget. Ryan may have been her first, but Drake would likely show her there was more than one way to be with a woman.
Her remaining clothes were aggressively removed, as though Drake couldn’t get her naked fast enough. When their eyes met, Drake’s were heavy-lidded, and her body felt anything but soft. Drake’s hand moved over her abdomen as she smiled.
“I love your curves. You’re so fucking sexy.”
She pictured Drake being buried deep inside of her as she captured her lips. Drake moved her mouth sensually before pressing her tongue inside.
“Tell me what you need to make your fantasy a reality.” Drake took her nipple in her teeth, lightly tugged, then lavished attention on it with her mouth and tongue.
“I want to feel your naked body against me.” She yanked at Drake’s shirt as roughly as Drake, liking the surge of power by knowing she could ask for anything. Drake sat up, bringing her with her. “Take it off,” she said. Once her breasts were freed, they hung heavy, as though they were larger than they actually were. She cupped them in her hands and brought one to her lips, making her wetter. Drake held her head and Dani had the impression she would have liked to take over what was happening before remembering this was her show. Her nipples grew incredibly hard and the surrounding flesh pebbled beneath Drake’s fingertips, mirroring her motion before she pressed a tip to her mouth. If Drake kept sucking, she was going to come. “Stop, baby.” Drake pulled away and her nipple popped from her mouth.
“Was I not doing it right?” Drake licked her lips. Her eyes were glassy, thoroughly lost in the moment.
She smiled. “You did it so right, I’m going to come.”
With her head tipped and a puzzled expression, Drake asked, “You don’t want to?”
Dani ran her fingers over her shoulders, then traced her collar bones. “I do,” she said as she leaned closer. “But I want your cock inside me.”
“Fuck yeah.” Drake stood over her. “Help me get this leather off.” Between the two of them, they peeled the clinging hide down until all she wore was a harness with a seven-inch dildo swaying from it. Dani stared at the appendage. “Do you want me like this?”
“Yes.” Dani’s voice cracked.
Drake reached into the nightstand and withdrew a condom. “Sheath me.”
“Have you used this on other women?”
“The gear we all use and wear is new every time. I prefer you not having to worry about anything when I’m fucking you.” Drake watched her as she tore the package open and rolled the cover down, the fit snug. “Lay back.” She dropped to her knees and took her place between Dani’s thighs. Drake kissed her taut stomach and continued upward. Once she was resting on her forearms, she lowered her center until her cock was pressed against Dani’s opening. “Can you feel how ready I am to be inside you? Please let me fill you.”
She spread wider and reached between them. “This is for me, right?”
“All yours.” Drake trailed her tongue over her chin, down her neck.
“Show me.” Dani gave the dildo a jerk.
Lifting to give her hand space, Drake grabbed the shaft and slid the head over her clit several times. Dani looked between them. Beads of arousal clung to her hair. When Drake pushed the tip inside she momentarily tensed before Drake eased in deeper and fully opened her. Drake pressed forward until her cock was buried all the way.
She groaned as her gaze lost focus. “Feels so good.”
In and out, Drake slowly moved her hips as they kissed and tasted each other. “Do you want to come? Can you come with my cock?”
“I want to,” she said between gasps of pure pleasure.
Drake began thrusting, each one deeper and harder until all that remained was the feel of Drake over her and the moans from both of them filling the air. “Harder. Fuck me harder.” Drake’s response assured her she was more than happy to oblige. Pressure began to build in her groin as Drake shortened her strokes. She was so close.
