In Deep Water Read online

  Placing her hands on his chest, she rose above him. The rich bounty of her breasts filled his view. The rosy peaks of her nipples tempted him. “I’m not as innocent as you might think. Single and married men have propositioned me for the last two years. Each one thought I was so hungry for sex I’d jump at the idea of having them.”

  “So you denied them because it was the proper thing to do?” Zack cupped his hands around her breasts and savored the weight in his palms. He swiped a thumb over a taut tip.

  She rose onto her knees and braced her hands on his chest. The sizzling heat of her pussy lying close to his hungry cock had his heart racing. “Yes. I’ve always played it safe because I didn’t trust the men involved. I knew they would leave me the first chance they got.”

  “Yet, you’re here with me. Why?” The question squelched his desire and left him cold. What type of game was she playing?

  A smile formed on her pink lips, and she wrapped a hand around his staff. With meticulous care, she eased her wet pussy over the wide head. “You didn’t balk at the idea of being my husband. Instead, you went along with the lie and tried to protect me from the crowd’s harsh comments.”

  Zack slipped his hands to her waist and held her in place when she started to reverse her momentum. Now was not the time to have an in-depth conversation concerning the plans he had for her.

  Yes, he’d expose her to his dark side but gradually. First, he needed to establish trust between them and make her understand he’d wanted what was best for both of them. “You could have slipped away when you left me at the dock. I wouldn’t have known where to find you.”

  She smiled and leaned forward the tips of her breasts teasing his chest. “I didn’t even consider it. All I wanted was to get back to you.”

  He bucked his hips, pleased by her honesty. “Good, because I’m not letting you go until I get you safely home and I find my friend, Logan.”

  Carolyn struggled with the meaning of his words. Did he plan to leave? If so, should she continue to enjoy the bliss of a fake marriage?

  He toyed with her breasts and drew the aching flesh to his mouth, sucking hard and strong. With his other hand, he rolled the stiff tip between his thumb and forefinger.

  She moaned and arched into him, silently inviting him to take more. Euphoria coursed through her, sending a flood of heat to her core. She rocked her hips, rubbing her clit along the length of him, titillating her senses and building a need inside.

  Heart racing, she shifted gently up and down. Every breath audible, she drew air into her lungs and panted. The change in position allowed her more control and she marveled at the deeper penetration.

  Zack released his hold on her breasts and slapped his hands hard against her ass. “Stop playing.”

  Stunned, she plunged downward, her pussy suddenly full with his engorged cock. The erotic invasion awoke nerve endings, and quivers raced along her inner thighs. She gasped as the sharp pain from his spanking added a new element to her pleasure.

  “Now ride me,” he grounded out and adjusted her position so she sat more upright. Grabbing the pillows propped against the iron railing, he shoved several under his head and shoulders. “I want to watch you and enjoy the sight of my cock sliding in and out of your pussy.”

  His words should have shamed her, but instead the crass words ignited a naughty hunger to please him. He set her on fire and perspiration burst across her skin.

  He wrapped his hands around her waist and guided her movement. Up, down, every caress of his cock on her sensitive flesh sent her higher, demanding she give him all that she had.

  “Beautiful,” he whispered and brushed a fingertip over her clit.

  A burning desire consumed her with the continual pressure of his touch. She increased her pace, riding like the demons of hell were on her heels. Poised on the edge of complete bliss, she fought to hold on, trying her best to delay the delirium that made her head spin. Stars exploded against her eyelids.

  Losing the battle, she screamed as an orgasm exploded, lighting up her nerve endings. Her body tingled. She curled her nails into his chest as wave after wave of pure ecstasy crashed against her senses.

  “That’s it, baby. Give it all to me.” He moaned and bucked his hips finding his own release. The tantalizing stimulus prolonged her passion and one thought rocked her to the core.

  What would she do if he decided to leave?

  Chapter Five

  Zack stared at the long, dirt road ahead. The transaction with the horse trader had gone off without a hitch. They had stopped in at the merchants again for supplies and followed the trail out of town.

  The sun beat on their heads. Zack glanced over at Carolyn. Her flush face showed her discomfort of riding in the rising heat and sweat dotted her brow. He’d tried to convince her to buy a bonnet but she’d insisted it wasn’t necessary.

  Her body swayed with the horse’s gait, reminding him of her above him riding his cock. His body swelled at the thought and he dropped his gaze to the white creamy skin of her legs. Riding in the one saddle which had accompanied the sale of the horses, she had her dress pulled up around her knees with her small feet resting in the stirrups.

  He rode another horse bareback and the other ones he had on a lead rope.

  Checking the position of the sun, he figured they’d been riding for almost two and a half hours. “Why don’t we stop and rest for a few minute?”

  He led the way off the trail and stopped under the shade of an oak tree. “Let me tie the horses to a limb and then I’ll help you down.”

  She nodded and remained quiet as if the strain of speaking was beyond her. Had he pushed her too hard? Last night, they’d gotten to sleep late. This morning, he’d awakened early. Hungry for the velvety caress of her cunt, he’d entered her from behind. She’d stirred and bucked her hips, encouraging him to pick up the pace.

  He smiled and adjusted his growing erection before turning back to her. His gaze immediately caught sight of her swinging her leg over the saddle horn. The fabric of her dress drew together up to her crotch.

  His pace increased, and he quickly reached her horse. “Easy there, honey, we don’t want you hurting yourself.”

  Wrapping his hands around her waist, he lifted her down from the saddle. The soft glide of her body down his inflamed his senses. He struggled with the desire to carry her deeper into the woods and strip her bare.

  She placed her hands on his shoulders until her feet touched the ground, then her arms slipped around his neck. Her dark brown gaze caught his and held.

  The energy sizzling between them made his balls tingle. He lowered his hands to her ass and pulled her deep into his embrace.

  She wiggled, her pubic bone riding against his engorged cock. “You’re pondering how you want to make love to me again.”

  He squeezed, digging his fingers into the fabric of her dress, wishing instead for the soft caress of her skin. “Yes, and so much more.”

  “Isn’t that a naughty idea to do in the middle of the day?” She rose onto her toes and brushed her lips along his jaw.

  “No, not when a man has a woman as wonderful as you to fuck. It pushes the limits of his concentration to ponder anything else.” He lowered his head and nuzzled her neck. Her honey flavored skin made him long to lick every inch of her.

  “Zack, you’re teasing me. You know we’re not going to make love here on the side of the road.” She moaned when he hit the sensitive spot behind her ear. He’d discovered several places on her body last night that drove her wild.

  He’d admit to the logic of her statement, but he had no intentions of stopping at the moment. He needed a taste, a sample, a drink from her sweet mouth. Shifting his head, he dove for her lips and took advantage of her gasp of surprise to plunge his tongue deep.

  She melted against him and opened her mouth wider, surrendering to his demands and lighting a fire in his gut. He couldn’t let her go, not yet. Damn it, maybe, not ever. Why?

 
He broke their kiss and stared into her face. Her creamy complexion was sprinkled with a few freckles. She didn’t appear that different for the other girls he’d dated. Her eyelids fluttered and soft warmth engulfed him. He slid his hands along her spine and marveled at the cushion of her breasts against his chest. The woman had a body that called to him—lush rosy nipples, a nice dip to her waist that led to the flair of her hips and her ass. He swallowed the need gathering in his mouth and licked his lips.

  Again, she wiggled against his enlarged cock, this time in an effort to break free. “I need to stretch my legs.”

  “I only want to spread your thighs wide and plunge deep inside you.” He smiled at her shocked expression and released his hold. Had he offended her?

  She shook her head and eased by him. After several steps, she paused and turned. “How long do you think it’ll take to get back to Naked Bluff?”

  “If we change out our mounts every two or three hours and ride for most of the day, we should be there by tomorrow evening.”

  “Right, two long days on a horse.” She placed her hands on her waist and stretched backwards as if stiff.

  He stepped closer. “I take it you’re not use to riding for an extended period of time?”

  “True, and last night’s activity probably isn’t helping.” She lowered her gaze and stared at his crotch.

  Blood drained from his head. He felt dizzy and blurted out, “Meaning what? You want to abstain from any more sex until we reach our destination.”

  She blinked and lifted her hands as if to warn him off.

  He gripped her waist and yanked her back against his chest. “It ain’t gonna happen. Just be happy that I don’t have you on your knees sucking on my cock right now. I’m so hard, I’m ready to explode.”

  Her hands resting in the center of his chest, her head down, she remained quiet in his arms. Had he shocked her? Demanded too much?

  Suddenly, he doubted his ability to keep any woman. Was his father right? Did the average woman only want to have sex in a bedroom with the light off?

  “I’ve, uh, never done anything close to that before.” She peered up at him. Their gaze connected briefly, and then she looked away. Her face turned a deep shade of red.

  Confused by the questions running through his head, he fought to recall what she’d been saying. “What?”

  She bit her lip and glanced everywhere but at him. Stuttered words burst from her mouth. “Had a man, in, uh, my mouth.”

  A ravenous hunger coursed through him. His body tightened, his cock grew in length, and he had no doubt that if she touched him, he’d shoot off like a bullet. Fighting to take it slow, he cupped his hand under her chin and lifted it so their gazes met. “Do you want to give it a try?”

  Curiosity lit her face with delight and she tilted her head shyly to right. “I might, but I don’t want to hurt you.”

  He groaned and hugged her close. How in the world had he found such a woman?

  Lowering his head, he whispered, “We’ll need to move a little deeper into the woods so no one will see what we’re doing.”

  They had passed almost no one in the last hour, but he didn’t want anything to interrupt her tempestuous adventure.

  She nodded. “Then I guess we should move the horses?”

  ****

  The shadow of the trees dropped the temperature, but didn’t keep the sweat from breaking out on Carolyn’s brow. What in the world had she been thinking?

  Zack hadn’t demanded she suck on his cock. She shivered at the vulgar statement, knowing with her upbringing she should find the thought repulsive. Strangely, she didn’t. The moment he mentioned the idea, her body had heated and need had flowed between her legs.

  He’d licked her intimate lips. Why shouldn’t she have the same pleasure and sample him?

  Turning, she caught sight of him a short distance away. The moment she agreed to his suggestion, he’d rushed around gathering up the horses. He led her and them along a curvy trail, pausing only when they entered a small clearing.

  Now with the horses munching on grass, he gathered a canteen and tugged the blanket from the horse he’d ridden. He strolled toward her with a wide smile, revealing his slightly crooked, white teeth.

  Butterflies erupted in her stomach. What if she did this wrong and he bolted?

  Strolling by, he slid his free arm around her shoulders and guided her deeper into the shade of the trees. “Are ready to give this a try?”

  She shook her head and drew to a stop. “I’m not sure I’ll be very good at this.”

  He released her and spread the blanket out on the ground before retrieving the canteen. “Don’t worry, I’m with you every step of the way.”

  Nerves shivered through her and she shifted restlessly on her feet. Hadn’t she learned that once a woman married a man, her main objective was to please her man? Did this qualify? Or were they both stepping over the line? Did he consider her a whore?

  “Come here.” The stern tone of Zack’s voice surprised her and she stood rooted to the spot.

  “Zack...”

  “Now.” His hard gaze drilled into her, stripping her of her will to resist. “I want you on your knees in front of me.”

  Biting her lips, she allowed her gaze to travel the length of him before she kneeled before him. The large budge behind the buttons of his pants stood right in her face.

  Zack worked each disk free. Each one exposed a little more of his erection until it sprang free. He stroked a hand along the length. Enthralled by the sight, Carolyn zeroed in on his hard flesh. Need grew in her core, fighting with the anxiety of doing this wrong.

  “I’m sure after the long ride we’ve had, you’re thirsty. I’ll trickle water over my cock and let you lick it off. It’ll help you learn what you need to do.” Zack shifted and his pants fell to his knees.

  She licked her lips as her gaze narrowed in on the prize mere inches away. What would it feel like to have his cock in her mouth?

  “Open your mouth and stick out your tongue, but don’t move until I tell you to,” Zack ordered.

  Automatically doing his bidding, she waited for him to guide the tip closer. She fought to draw in air and caught a whiff of his musky scent.

  With a gentle stroke, he laid the tip on her tongue. Drops of water ran down the length of his cock and splashed over her lips. The need to swallow forced her mouth close and she wrapped her lips around the swollen head.

  “Oh, sugar, that feels heavenly,” Zack moaned and wrapped a hand around her head. He drew her closer, forcing the silk covered length of him deeper.

  She swept her tongue over the underside. Flavors raced over her taste buds...primitive male spices that reminded her of dark, forbidden cravings. The hunger in her core increased and seeped from her, trickling slowly down her thighs. Wanting to touch him, she lifted her hands and wrapped them around his length.

  “Suck me all the way in, Carolyn.”

  Lifting her gaze to his face, she read his pleasure. A surge of confidence bolted through her, and she drew back a fraction before she fed a little more into her mouth.

  The inch or two she’d planned increased when Zach shifted his hips forward. The head of his erection almost bumped against her tonsils. She gagged and reversed her momentum. His cock broke free from her lips, and she held him reverently in her hands.

  “I can’t take you that deep,” she admitted with some concern. Would he now want her to stop?

  “It’s alright. You’re doing a great job. Just pump your hands over me as well as your mouth.” He showed her what he meant.

  She practiced the move by gliding her hands along the length of him and licked the purple head. A dollop of fluid leaked from the narrow slit and flowed into her mouth. The salty flavor added a new depth to his unique zest.

  “Oh, honey, I’m so close.” He drew back and tilted her head to stare into her eyes. “I want so badly to fuck your mouth. Driving into you so hard and fast you...”

  He shook his head
as if fighting with himself. “I’m not sure you’re ready for what I have in mind.”

  Chapter Six

  Carolyn paused. Feeling as if she’d somehow failed him, she lowered her head. “I get it. I’m doing it wrong.”

  “No,” rang through the woods, and a horse neighed at the loud interruption.

  “If you were doing it anymore right, I would have already shot my load into your mouth. As it is, I’m teetering on the brink of insanity.” Zack shifted and edged away from her hold.

  She tightened her grip and peered up at him. “Then why won’t you let me finish what I started?”

  He closed his eyes and sank back against the trunk of the tree. “Because I...”

  Unwilling to listen to his excuses, she wrapped her lips around the head of his cock, working her mouth over him faster and faster. Excitement built inside her. She shifted her legs further apart to allow the moisture dripping from her core to slide along her leg.

  Following her rhythm, he thrust his hips boldly and increased the pace. One of her hands slipped from his cock, and she used it to tease the tight balls hanging between his legs.

  He screamed and dropped the canteen to wrap both hands around her head. Taking control of her movements, he forced his cock deeper until it hit the back of her throat.

  Dizzy from the lack of oxygen, she sucked in air between thrust and held on, determined to give this man everything he needed.

  With a hoarse cry, he plunged deeper and released a stream of hot cream into her mouth. She gagged.

  “Swallow,” he barked and shifted back an inch, but didn’t allow her to break free.

  She did as he instructed. One, two, three quick swallows and she managed to breathe in air again. Her body trembled and raunchy hunger coursed through her at bringing him to his release.

  “Damn,” he muttered and withdrew from her mouth. He guided her to her feet. His hot stare burned through her, reminding her of how much she enjoyed having him licking her intimate lips. Did they have time for him to pleasure her?
