Like brushing away a gnat, Zane blocked her attack andeasily caught her wrist manacling it tightly in his grip. Lifting her up, hislips found hers again in a fight she could not win. Crushing and merciless hegave her no chance to move as his skilled lips moved over hers, his tongueinvading the depths of her mouth drawing out small, foreign whimpers from herthroat. Adjusting her in his strong grip, he seated her deeper in the spacebetween his firm thighs. Everly’s eyes sprung open in surprise as she felt the hard,hot length of him pressed into her backside.
Pushing away from his lips, only because he let her, Everlytried to plead again. “Please don’t…”
“I need to taste more of you,” he chanted again in a whisperagainst her neck, seemingly more to himself than to her as if in some sort ofburning trance.
Using his free hand while the other still held her firmly,Everly cried out as he boldly cupped her sex pressing the blazing heat of hishand against the small defense of her cotton underwear. Thrashing wildly in hisarms, Everly tried to dislodge him, tried to escape his hold. No matter whatshe did, Zane only held firm around her. Desperately Everly stretched in hishold trying to see beyond Zane’s broad shoulders to where Reid was laying. Thespot was empty. Opening her mouth to scream her voice strangled in her throatwhen she felt his hand move against her. Crackling heat swirled through herbody as his thick fingers began to stroke her, leaving her throbbing at everypulse of his movement. Her trapped hand, which was wedged against him, clawedat the flesh of his stomach digging her nails into his hot skin, while herother hand went rigid in his grasp. Petrified in his hold, Everly bit theinside of her cheeks to keep herself from crying out, as his hand strokedfaster against her dampening underwear.
“No, Everly don’t you dare hold back,” Zane’s harsh voicerasped snapping her attention back to his, “I want to hear you.”
A surge of anger gave her a moment of clarity through thethick fog of her mind. Sealing her lips tighter Everly turned her head into hischest, she would lay their stiff and unmoving. She would not respond to him.
The stroking movements of his hand stopped immediately ather open resistance. With a rumbling growl, Everly felt his grip wrap aroundthe thin barrier of fabric, brushing his knuckles against her dark thatch ofcurls. Swiftly, he yanked her underwear down her legs leaving it to dangleuselessly around one of her ankles.
Jerking her head back to look at him she shrieked, “Zanestop!”
He ignored her, standing up he turned with her in his armsand laid her back down on the bed with her head pointing to the foot of the bedand her feet near the headboard. Twisting to scramble away, Zane clamped onehand around her knee crawling onto the bed himself to kneel before her,trapping her. Holding each of her knees apart, Zane stared down at her exposedglistening sex with fierce triumph. Everly couldn’t move, could not hide, shewas forced to lay here exposed to him. Tears glided down the sides of her face,as her chest hitched with a deep sob.
Covering her face with both hands, she cried harder. Thiscan’t be happening, they couldn’t do this to her. She cried, unsure if she saidthe words aloud or not.
Feeling the bed shift around her, Everly felt Zane’s griparound her wrist before he pulled her hands away revealing her tear-stainedface. Meeting his gaze directly Everly stared at the pain in his bright eyes.
“Everly, my love,” his voice was thick and strained as hewhispered. “Baby I am not going to hurt you,” his frown deepened as he tried tomake her understand, to accept his words. “You have to give us a chance. Toshow you how much we need you.”
Holding himself above her with one hand, he wiped the tearsfrom her face with the rough pad of his thumb. Opening her mouth to speak, Zanelowered himself down closer to her, hovering easily just above her lips hecaught her words with his mouth. Kissing her softly he pulled away watchingher, waiting. Again, she attempted to speak and again he pressed his lipsagainst her kissing her softly. The pattern persisted until she stopped tryingto speak altogether until all she could focus on through the heady fog of hermind was the darkening of his azure gaze and his hand slowly roaming furtherdown her body.
His callused hand settled on the small rise of her stomach,and her whole body froze.
Real fear shined back at him from her eyes as she lay there,petrified, under his heavy hand. The intense gaze never left hers as he beganto caress the small bump.
Placing another kiss against her lips. “Let us protect you,Everly,” he moved and placed another kiss on her neck. “Both of you,” his handcupped her stomach softly.
The unfurling heat returned to her with even greater forceas she watched him with heavy breaths, as he unbuttoned her nightshirt kissinghis way downwards. Stopping above the rise of her stomach her eyes met his,never breaking contact, as he kissed her tiny baby bump. The wave of tinglingpleasure that coursed through her from that simple action took her breath away,and she shifted uncomfortably. Agitated all over. Breaking his gaze from hers,Zane rained more torturous kisses on her stomach until she could hear smallwhimpers breaking from her throat. Lower and lower he moved until his facestopped right above her wet heat.
Confused she gave him a questioning look. Surely, he wouldnot kiss her there? Zane read her unspoken question and smiled largely, bearinghis white teeth in the dark room. The delight in his eyes scared her. Dippinghis head further, Everly moaned when she felt the tickle of his breath againsther folds. It felt as if her heart was going to stop from the lingeringsuspense.
Reaching for his head she clutched at a handful of his hair,intending to pull him away, but he didn’t budge. The hot pressure of his mouthon her broke her in half.
Screaming his name, her hand clutched at his hair as hestroked and lapped at her swollen clit. His tongue danced against the bundle ofnerves causing her body to twist and heave under his assault. Shamelessly, sherocked into his tongue as he penetrated her sex, while his thumb resumedattention at her throbbing needy clit. Tighter and tighter her body wound asshe listened to the wet sounds his mouth created against her mixing with herdesperate cries.
“Please,” she begged, nearly sobbing as she writhed her hipscloser to his mouth. So close, she was so close to breaking.
The feeling of his teeth softly tugging at her aching clitshattered her reality. A series of cascading vibrations broke through thespiraling tension, sending spasming shudders of euphoria to every nerve in herbody.
“Fuuuck,” she could hear Zane’s drawn-out curse above her asif shocked too by the strength of her climax.
Delirious, she lay there, her legs still spread open as shefought to catch her breath. All she wanted to do was sleep.
“Come here,” Zane growled roughly, his big hands grabbingher, lifting her up easily. Tiredly, Everly let Zane straddle her legs acrosshis lap, his erection standing tall between them.
Shocked fear energized her again as she looked at him withhorror. Fully naked, Zane sat on the edge of the bed holding her firmly in hislap. The usual wicked charming Zane was gone, the beast of a man holding hernow was possessed by need, his evident arousal jutting into her.
“Hold onto my shoulders,” the harsh bark of command held noroom for disobedience.
Shakily, Everly clutched at his massive shoulders as hepushed the open flaps of her shirt to the side and quickly unsnapped the frontclasp of her bra. Her breasts fell free, and his eyes brightened with ferocity.The grip on her hips tightened, and he lifted her higher. Everly whimpered,knowing what he intended. One of her hands slid down clutching at the hard rockof his flexing bicep as he kept her suspended above his lap. Slowly he broughther down, the blunt fat head of his cock finding her entrance naturally.Lowering her slowly, they both groaned as he slipped inside her soakingchannel.
“Everly,” he growled in warning.
Wrapping her arms around his head, Everly buried her face inhis hair in reply.
