  “Okay. No walls. Now hush so I can have some fun.” She took him in her mouth again and began a sweet torture.

  “Your mouth is so fucking sweet,” he groaned, and that spurred her on even more. Using her tongue, she swirled it around the crown and then ran it up and down from base to tip, back and forth. Teasing him relentlessly, her hand at his base, she stroked and licked him.

  Shan felt her warm breath spread across him but when her wet tongue teased him, he twitched furiously. It had been ages since he’d allowed any woman to touch him like this. He twisted his fingers in her hair, and try as he might, it was impossible to prevent the moans from escaping his lips.

  Riviera’s mouth wrapped around him and sucked him gently at first, but then she increased her intensity until Shan knew he couldn’t last much longer.

  “Ahh, I’m going to come,” he groaned, as he held her head. Instead of releasing him, she sunk her fingers into the cheeks of his ass and sucked him off even harder.

  “Oh God, Riv, I can’t hold off any longer. I’m gonna come,” and with that, Shan’s hips and thighs tensed and bucked as he climaxed. “Ah fuck, Riviera.” He was shocked because that wasn’t the norm for him in the past. She smiled as she ran her tongue around her lips, but was surprised when he yanked her to feet and started kissing her. It was a soul-searing, possessive kiss, one that she wouldn’t soon forget. There wasn’t any part of her mouth he left untouched.

  “Mmm, I can taste myself on you. That was amazing.”

  “Hearing you … knowing I was making you feel that way … I liked it as much as you did.”

  “That’s not possible,” he smiled, right as he crushed his mouth to hers again. As he tasted her wet mouth, his hands started pulling her shirt up. “I want you naked. Now, Riviera.”

  “Only if you get naked too.”

  Shan glanced down to see his shirt was still hanging on his neck and his pants were around his ankles.

  “I’ll be happy to comply.” He kicked off his shoes and stepped out of his jeans as he stripped off his shirt. “Now I think it’s time for me to make you more comfortable.”

  “Shan, I … I’m scared,” she confessed. “What if I can’t …”

  Shan grabbed a handful of Riviera’s shirt and jerked her against him. “Sweetheart, whenever you’re scared, nervous, or frightened, you come right here. I’ll take care of you. I’ll chase away your demons and keep you safe. I promise.”

  “Okay.”

  “We can stop at any time you want. You tell me if you’re uncomfortable with anything we do at any time. This is all your pleasure, Riviera, and what’s right for you.”

  Riviera’s shirt whooshed over her head. Shan’s lips and mouth were everywhere as he licked and kissed her. Her bra disappeared next and Riviera closed her eyes as Shan’s mouth closed down on one puckered nipple. She moaned in disappointment when he let her go, but groaned loudly when he blew cool air across her and sucked and scraped his teeth against her beaded peak. Not wanting to be accused of neglect, he switched his attention to her other breast, flicking his tongue across her as she sighed. Riviera was nearly climaxing and Shan knew it wouldn’t take much more for him to push her over the edge.

  Picking her up, he carried her to the bar. Shoving several decanters and glasses aside, he set her on top of it. “Shan, you’re going to break something,” she said, alarmed.

  “I don’t give a damn about that right now. This is all about you.” Spreading her legs wide, he raised his eyes to hers, asking for permission. Her anxiety forgotten, the corners of her mouth turned up and he had his answer. He spread her tender lips and made one long bold sweep with his tongue. Riviera’s hands tightened on his forearms and she moaned.

  Shan licked her again, but this time he didn’t stop. His tongue paid very close attention to one rather small, sensitive detail and Riviera came close to bounding off the bar. She arched her back and moaned loudly.

  But that didn’t stop him. He was relentless in his agonizing torture. Shan was sure Riviera was going to climax. He sensed the change in her body … the way her muscles began to tense and the way she squeezed his arms.

  When he slid his finger inside her, she called his name. Shan was taken with how beautifully perfect it all was. This was something he wanted to see time and time again. He was stunned that his breathing was every bit as fast and hard as hers. Picking her up, he carried her to his bed as his mouth devoured hers.

  “Riviera, I need you. I need to be inside of you. My body craves yours, all over. Tell me to stop now if you don’t want me.”

  “Shan, I want you too.”

  “Oh fuck, Riv. You’re sure about this? I don’t want you to have any regrets.”

  “I’ve never been more sure of anything. But I’m not going to lie and say I’m not scared, either.”

  He took his thumb, hooked it around her hair, and moved it away from her face as he pressed his lips to her cheek. “I know you are. If we get to a point at any time that you need to stop, you just say the word and we’ll stop. Okay?”

  “Yeah, okay.”

  “I’m clean, sweetheart. I’ve not been with anyone in quite a while, and I’ve always used condoms.”

  “I’m clean too. I was tested after I left Jasper. When I started visiting Shelby’s Shack, they recommended it. I’m also on the pill so you won’t need a condom.” She kissed him and whispered, “I want you, Shan.”

  “We’re going to take this slow and easy, because I want to get to know your body, every tiny part of you. I want this to be all about you, Riviera.”

  Shan had many goals in mind, but the one he truly wanted to conquer was to chase away the demon that had nearly destroyed Riviera. The only way he knew to do this was to worship her body.

  Since Riviera never had anyone who could qualify as a lover, she was simply astounded at what Shan was doing to her. His hand feathered across her skin and made her flesh tingle. When his tongue painted patterns on her body, she moaned softly, the ache within her expanding. Shan discovered her every erogenous zone, places she hadn’t known existed … the sides of her neck, behind her ears, the insides of her thighs, the arches of her feet, all around her stomach.

  By the time Shan’s mouth moved to the apex of Riviera’s thighs, she was burning for him. Her orgasm erupted on her with the slightest touch from his tongue, as she twisted her fingers into his hair and called out his name.

  Shan couldn’t help but smile to himself. He wanted nothing more than to make sure she was satisfied, and from the sounds of things, he’d certainly hit the mark.

  “Riviera, how’re you doing?”

  She growled and tugged him up to her. “I want you inside of me, Shan. And I want your mouth on mine.”

  Not one to pass up an opportunity to kiss her, Shan kissed her cheek, then her eyes, and then finally her lips. She opened her mouth to meet his, but he didn’t go there right away. He wanted to tease her a bit, so he licked her lips, drawing the outline of her mouth. When he was finished, he tugged her lower lip into his mouth and sucked on it, until he had her moaning again.

  “Shan, please. I ache for you.”

  He chuckled and said, “Patience, babe. We have all night and there’s no need to hurry things.” He moved his hand between their bodies and slid a finger into her. “God, you’re so slick for me.”

  “I’m aching for you, Shan. Please,” she begged.

  He lifted one of her legs and hooked his arm around it. Taking his other hand, he placed his tip at her opening and slowly entered her.

  “More, Shan,” she cried.

  “Hold on, Riv. We’re gonna take this slow. I’ve waited so damn long for this that we’re going to make this last. And honey, I promise you it will be worth it.”

  He pulled back and pushed in a little deeper. She moaned and put her hands on his ass as she tried to push him in more. He chuckled and said, “My girl is so impatient.”

  “You’re torturing me,” she cried.

  “No, I’m tryin
g to please you, babe. Relax. Look at me, Riviera. Open your eyes for me.”

  “I-I …”

  “What is it? You can tell me.” He was still as he lay on top of her, slightly buried in her.

  “I’ve never felt this intimate before.”

  “Good. That’s precisely what I wanted to hear. I want you to feel that way. Now look at me, honey. I need to see your gorgeous eyes.”

  She opened her eyes and then her mouth curved into a slight smile.

  “There, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”

  “No,” she whispered. “It’s perfect.”

  As soon as those words left her lips, his hips slowly and achingly inched into her, and she moaned, right along with him. Her mouth was opened so he kissed her as they made love. It was really the first time Shan had thought of this act quite like that. All the other times in his past, he’d thought of it as fucking. It wasn’t so with Riviera. Suddenly, his heart swelled with an emotion so strong, he wanted to absorb her into his own body.

  “Riviera.” One word. That was all he could say. All else was lost in his constricted trachea. He was drowning, floundering, reeling in everything that was Riviera. It became so blatantly clear to him that there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for her. Abso-fucking-lutely anything she asked. Whatever it took, he would find a way.

  Fuck me! I’m falling in love with her!

  He wanted to shout it out to her right then, but didn’t. He was afraid it would scare her off. If anyone had asked him then, he would’ve climbed the highest peak and shouted it from the mountaintop.

  “Oh, Riviera, you far surpass any fantasy I ever had of you.”

  He idolized her with his body. And the sounds she was making … Christ, she was the most perfect thing he’d ever known. He reached for her hand and clasped their fingers together as he pressed into her. His other hand found its way underneath her and tightened its hold on her ass. Shan was lost in the beauty that was Riviera as she curved and arched with the motion of his thrusts.

  “Is this good for you, Riv?”

  “God, yes, Shan. So good,” she groaned.

  She noticed his furrowed brow and drank in his sexy sounds. It all spiraled down on her … how undeniably loving he was and that he cared how she felt.

  “Shan, is it always like this?”

  He suddenly stopped and his eyes dug into her soul. “Never before you.” His hand moved to cup her cheek and he kissed her mouth as he rocked his hips against hers again.

  Riviera reveled in his delicious thickness as it pressed deep within her, touching her in places that made her body writhe. Whatever he was doing to her, she wanted it to last forever. “Yeah, oh yeah, right there, Shan. Keep doing that. That’s so … ahhh, that’s perfect. What are you doing down there?”

  He continued to swivel into her and rasped, “I think I’m making you feel good.”

  “Uh-huh … yeah … so good.”

  “Riviera?” He rubbed his cheek against hers.

  “Yeah?”

  “I think my dick really loves your beautiful pussy.”

  “Shan? Ahhh.”

  “Yeah? Mmm.”

  “I know my pussy really loves your dick. Oh … yeah, right there, Shan.”

  “Come for me, babe. I want to feel you come all over me. I want to feel you spasm around me.” He started moving faster.

  “Oh yes. That’s so good.”

  He moved his hand back between them again and pressed his thumb on her.

  “Oh God, Shan. How do you do that?”

  “It’s my thumb, Riv.”

  “Ahh, well, I knew that. Ahhh!”

  It was only a few moments before that set her off and her orgasm plowed into her. Shan knew it was about to hit by the way her thighs clenched and her fingers sunk into the muscles of his shoulder. When she screamed his name, it drove him to his climax too.

  When Riviera finally caught her breath, she gave him a huge smile.

  “You are amazing. Gorgeous. Sexy. Perfect,” he told her.

  “You are every bit of that, and then some. You made me feel … well, I’ve never …”

  “Yes? Tell me, Riviera. You know, a man wants to hear those things.”

  “I’ve never done that before,” she whispered.

  “What?”

  “You know,” she said.

  “No, I don’t,” he teased.

  She punched his arm. “Yes, you do.”

  “Tell me,” he said against her mouth. “Tell me everything, Riviera. I’ll tell you if you tell me.”

  She tucked her head into his shoulder. “I’ve never climaxed during sex before.”

  “I see. Then that’s a very good thing.”

  “Indeed, it is.”

  “So, how was it?”

  “Are you fishing for compliments?”

  “Of course.”

  “Then I give you an E for excellent.”

  “And I give you an F for flawless. You couldn’t be more perfect in my eyes. Riviera, I love it that I was your first.” He lifted her face so he could look at her. “I want to be a lot more firsts for you. You’re … you don’t have any idea what you do to me.” He laced his fingers with hers.

  “Yeah, I think I do. You do the same to me.”

  “I pray I do.” He wanted to tell her she was a first for him too, but he didn’t. Instead, he kissed her lightly on the cheek. “Would you like to get in the hot tub, with the promise that neither of us gets out and leaves without the other?”

  She laughed and agreed.

  They walked outside into the cool night air, and Shan helped Riviera into the tub. He took a seat and she moved to sit next to him but he wasn’t going for that. Surprising her, he pulled her onto his lap. She laughed.

  “You didn’t think I’d let you spend one second away from me, did you?”

  “I hadn’t thought about it.”

  “Well, just so you know, this is your seat from now on.”

  “Hmm, this could get a little difficult to explain, Shan.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “It might look a little funny when we’re meeting for breakfast or lunch.”

  Shan laughed, then said, “I don’t know. We’re both fairly imaginative people. We could figure something out.”

  Riviera’s eyes zoomed in on his mouth as he spoke and she couldn’t stop herself from putting her fingers on his lips.

  “I love your mouth,” she blurted out. “The way one corner turns up a little higher than the other when you talk. It’s so damn hot.”

  “Whoa.” Her confession warmed him to the point he wanted to slip inside her and start pumping furiously. His heart pounded like he was on the verge of an arrhythmia. Christ, she had destroyed the fuck out of him, he thought. All those years of living with the wall he had erected and she had crumbled it in less than a few months.

  Riviera dipped her head, embarrassed by her confession. She’d never had feelings about anyone the way she had about Shan, and her sentiment had slipped out before she knew it. “Oh my gosh, I probably shouldn’t have said that,” she mumbled.

  He slid his hands into her hair and said, “No, I’m damn glad you did.” Then he teased her mouth with his tongue. “I love your mouth too, Riviera. It was made for me,” he whispered against her lips, right before he slid his wet tongue into it. Moving to her neck, she started to writhe, but when his head dipped down to her pearled nipples, Riviera gasped and cried out.

  “Shan, I want you again.”

  “I want you too, honey.”

  “I think I can tell,” she grinned as she reached beneath her. “Someone has poked his head out.”

  “Damn, Riviera, I think I’ve had a hard-on since I met you.”

  He lifted her so she faced him and raised his knees so she could lean back a bit. Then he slid his tip against her opening and gently moved forward, inching inside of her.

  She gasped at the feeling of him entering her, for she loved how exquisite he felt. Shan backed out and Riviera
whimpered. “No!” she cried.

  She felt him shake as he laughed. “Shh, it’s okay, babe. I’m not going anywhere.” He gently thrust back inside of her, going deeper this time, and retreating again.

  “Ahh,” she sighed.

  “Good?”

  “Yes. More.”

  “Greedy, aren’t you?”

  He moved in and out, and when he was sure she was ready for his entire length, he slid all the way in. She gasped again, loudly, at the feeling of him so deep inside of her. She’d never felt so full, so complete.

  “Talk to me, babe. Tell me how you feel.”

  She was panting now and could barely get her words out.

  “Ahh, Shan, more. I want more. Faster.” She felt him caress her deeply inside and was astounded again at the pleasure she was experiencing.

  “I can do faster.” At the same time, he reached between them and found her swollen clit. Taking his thumb, he applied pressure in a circular motion and Riviera’s head fell back as she groaned out his name. Water sloshed all around them, spilling out of the tub, but neither seemed to notice.

  “Baby, tell me what you need. Is this good?”

  “Ah yes. Good. Very, very good. Excellent,” she cried.

  “Kiss me, Riviera.”

  She put her mouth on his and they culminated the act of love with their tongues as they kept pace with the rhythm of their bodies.

  Shan felt his orgasm approaching, but he wanted to make this moment last, so he slowed his movements.

  “No! What? Keep going,” she protested.

  “I want to make this last longer, honey. At this rate, I’m not going to make it.”

  “Ohhh,” she moaned, as he shifted her in his lap, pulling her ankles up to his shoulders. “Oooh, I like this,” she crooned.

  “I aim to please,” he smiled. “Hold onto my arms honey.” He pumped his hips into her and she matched his movement as she felt his hardness push against her newly discovered secret pleasure points.

  “Aaah, Shan. That’s so … ahhh, good. Yes, good.”

  “Fuck, Riviera. Come for me, baby. I want to see you fall apart for me. I love to watch you and feel you squeeze me when you climax.” She looked into his ice-blue eyes, now filled with heated lust, and felt her body begin to unravel. Then he felt her tightening and clamping as she cried out and orgasmed around him. Feeling her climax pushed him right into his own perfect bliss.
