“Absolutely not. The loser has to do what the victor tells him to do, especially when it’s an unconditional surrender like this one is.”
“I could have putconditionson my surrender?” he asked, glancing over his shoulder. Her voice sounded much nearer than when she’d first called his name, but she kept herself out of his sight.
“Yes, and you should remember that for the future. Negotiation is an important skill set to develop.”
I’ll keep that in mind,Liam told himself. “Okay, so what can I do?”
“You can put the cards away, put them on the table, and then close your eyes.” There was a brief pause before her voice added, “And quickly.”
That final addition was enough to keep him from questioning her commands. The yearning within him urged him to act now and think later. With haste, he gathered up the cards on the cushion, thrust them back into their holder, and deposited them onto the coffee table. He stopped long enough to grab his water and take a long, hydrating swig.
“Okay,” he said, closing his eyes, “it’s all done.”
He had no idea what she was up to, but it was as if he could sense she’d just peeked around the corner to see if he was telling the truth.
“And your eyes are shut? All the way?”
“Yes, all the way.”
“Keep them that way.”
“I will,” he promised.
Her soft footsteps elicited a crescendo of excitement within his veins. Half of those urges begged him to open his eyes and see what she was up to. The other half, which proved slightly more ferocious in its fight, ordered him to keep his eyes shut.
He didn’t feel the couch shift after Tess’s footsteps ended practically right in front of him, which meant she was still standing. Looking, deciding, or testing him to see if he would keep his eyes shut? Or maybe she was just enjoying how much he squirmed in his seat, awaiting some manner of discovery about her intentions.
“Keep those eyes closed, Liam,” Tess said, confirming that she was, indeed, directly in front of him.
“I promised I would, and I will,” he replied.
“Okay, because the fun will end if you open them before I say you can.”
Eschewing welding them shut, there would be no other way to close his eyes tighter than he now did. Liam could feel his heartbeat in his throat, pounding away like an overly forceful bass drum. Every part of him burned with unbridled anticipation, so much so that he felt molten, like he was sitting in the chamber at the heart of a volcano. He lamented each second that went by withoutsomethinghappening.
So alert was he that his ears perked up as he heard Tess shift. One soft thud on the rug under her coffee table, then two more quickly behind it. Had she dropped to her knees? And what else had she just placed on the ground? What was it she’d obtained from her refrigerator, or was that just a ruse, and he was about to feel ice agonize his throbbing member?
“Lift your hips a little,” Tess purred, voice coming from below, which supported his theory that she’d lowered herself to her knees. A second confirmation arrived seconds later when her fingers began trailing up his thighs toward his waistband.
Doing as was requested of him, Liam separated from her couch by a few needed inches. As Tess’s fingertips found his waistband, he immediately added his to their apparent intentions. Moments later, their tugging work saw his cock sprung free.
The volcano rumbled.
Behind his eyelids, he imagined Tess licking her lips, eyeing it hungrily. It nearly broke his willpower, and he hung on from opening his eyes to see if his hopes were reality by just a thread of restraint.
“Good,” Tess said, leaving him uncertain if she was complimenting what she saw or his continued discipline.
Her fingertips glossed along his thighs, toward the center of the heat blazing through his body, only to halt inches away from it. Liam instinctively tensed, and his breath clogged inside his lungs.
“Just a little longer,” Tess said. “Lift your hips again.”
When he did so, she slipped her fingertips skimmed down and quickly removed his pants and boxers entirely. Afterward, after spreading his knees apart, he felt her scoot between them.
“All right now,” she whispered, returning her fingertips to their dangerous proximity to his shaft. “Keep those eyes shut tight until I say you can open them. I don’t want to have to end things.”
He could only offer a short nod; his nearly unbearable anticipation locked down the rest of his body. He was on the brink of outright immolation, rapidly hitting temperatures that he couldn’t survive. Thankfully, the gorgeous woman of his dreams finally began to walk the path to his desperately needed release.
Her hands initiated a pincer attack upon his throbbing manhood, sliding the final few inches to the base of his shaft in perfect unison. Liam exhaled, relieved beyond imagination, as her nails lightly contacted his erection. Swiftly enough, the soft pads of her fingertips skimmed around his shaft, with her right hand soon wrapping itself around his nearly incandescent manhood.
