Double Dare Part 18

"I'm a little busy," Jesse said in a low whisper. "No, you handle it. I'll be in later. Right now I'm..." Jesse glanced over and winced when he caught Audra staring at him. "I'm busy," he finished.

With his sleepy eyes, tousled hair and guilty look, he was like a naughty little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

It made a woman glad to be a cookie.

Audra gave him a wink.

He blushed.

She ignored the melting feeling in her heart and shifted to her side, letting the sheet fall away.

His gaze slid from her face to her bare b.r.e.a.s.t.s. The heat in his eyes was enough to make her wet.

Then the person on the phone said something, Jesse's eyes got huge and he ripped his gaze from her body as if he'd been slapped on the back of the head.

She giggled and opened her mouth to tease him, but he gave her a frantic hand motion to hush. One brow raised, she leaned across the bed to grab one of the pillows from the floor. Sliding back to a sitting position, she was glad to see Jesse's gaze back on her body. His glazed look promised she'd be starting the day quite nicely.

Audra grinned and plumped the pillow behind her back, then settled against it to listen to his conversation. And, of course, enjoy the view of his nude body and its gratifying reaction to her nakedness.

"Sorry," Jesse said as he pushed the Off b.u.t.ton with look of relief. He tossed his cell phone back on his jeans and shrugged. "That was the office. There's a job they need me to take care of this morning."

"Isn't it awfully early in the morning to have to deal with business calls? That's what voice mail is for."

"I can't ignore the phone when I hear it. I guess it's a good boy thing," he said with a grin.

Then he curved his large, warm hand over her bare hip, and Audra shoved the curiosity aside and focused on the here and now. Tingles of awareness shivered through her. Desire, never far from the surface when she was around Jesse, flamed higher. Audra reached out and pressed her palm against his chest, combing her fingers through the smooth hair. She glanced at the clock. Six-thirty. Plenty of time for breakfast.

"You know," she said, leaning forward to run her tongue around his nipple, "I seem to have developed a serious yen for good boys."

"Oh, yeah?" Jesse's smile turned her on almost as much as the hand that was now caressing her b.u.t.t.

"Yeah. So, seeing as I'm feeling generous, I think you should be rewarded."

"For being a good boy?"

"Well, that and the level nine o.r.g.a.s.m you so awesomely rocked my world with last night," she said with a delighted shiver of remembrance.

Jesse took her mouth with his. She leaned into his kiss with a purr. The taste of him filled her senses, his tongue dragging her deeper and deeper into pa.s.sion. His scent enveloped her and Audra just wanted to grab his broad shoulders and never let go.

He slowly eased back, the kiss tapering from pa.s.sion to soft, sweet nibbled kisses on her lower lip. When Jesse pulled completely away, Audra's lashes fluttered open. She met his rich brown gaze with a pa.s.sion-glazed one of her own.

"That'd be a nine and a half, thank you very much," he corrected.

She blinked twice, then burst out laughing. "Can't forget that half, can we?"

"Would you want to?"

"Definitely not. And," she said, pulling away and giving him a pat on the cheek, "I'd say such a grand accomplishment definitely deserves a reward."

"What? A T-shirt proclaiming me the best s.e.x you've ever had?"

"Your ego is no little thing there, is it?" she said with a roll of her eyes as she slid from the bed.

Jesse glanced down at his d.i.c.k, then back at her with both brows raised. Audra got his point and couldn't keep from laughing.

"Okay, so you probably deserve a little stroking. Your ego, too. For now, though, will you settle for breakfast?"

Jesse's mouth dropped open. "Breakfast? As in you'd make me food? To eat?"

"You say that like it's such a crazy concept that I can cook." Audra tugged a T-shirt over her head, its hem brushing the top of her thighs. The bunny on the front proclaimed her Cute But Psycho.

Jesse swung his legs over the side of the bed and stared at her in puzzlement as he pulled his jeans on. "I can imagine you doing just about anything. h.e.l.l, I have have imagined you doing any number of things. It's just that cooking isn't anywhere on the list." imagined you doing any number of things. It's just that cooking isn't anywhere on the list."

"Ye of little faith."

With a heavy dose of body English in her hips, she led the way to the kitchen. She gestured for him to have a seat at the tiny bistro table.

He watched avidly as she sauntered to the pantry. Audra shot him a naughty look over her shoulder, then reached in and pulled out an octagonal-shaped jar with a gold foil label.

Jesse's eyes lit up like fireworks at the sight of the chocolate fudge topping.

"You went out and bought that?" he asked in delight.

"Nope. I've had it a while. It's actually my favorite ice cream topping. Among other things."

"Breakfast?" he asked.

"Breakfast in bed," she corrected as she dipped her finger in chocolate, then rubbed it over his bottom lip.

12.

HE WASN'T REALLY a spiritual man, but Jesse had to admit if there was a heaven, this was his idea of it. An incredible night, out-of-this-world s.e.x and the perfect woman. He vowed to make d.a.m.ned sure not to lose any of them. a spiritual man, but Jesse had to admit if there was a heaven, this was his idea of it. An incredible night, out-of-this-world s.e.x and the perfect woman. He vowed to make d.a.m.ned sure not to lose any of them.

He lay back on the cool sheets of Audra's bed, the scent of their lovemaking mingling with the exotic vanilla aroma of the candles she had all over the place. Morning light filtered through the filmy curtains, giving the room a soft glow.

Of course, the woman standing at the foot of the bed, her nude body a work of art in the golden light, could never be termed an angel.

Thank G.o.d.

"How hot do you like it?" she asked with a teasing grin. She used her index finger to stir the chocolate sauce still in its gla.s.s jar. The rich scent of chocolate overlaid the other scents in the air.

Jesse's body stirred, realizing this woman was about to make one of his wildest fantasies come true. Could life get any better?

"I'll take it as hot as you can get it," he a.s.sured her, folding his hands behind his head as he leaned back against the headboard.

Audra peered at him, then shook her head and tut-tutted.

"What?"

"You look much too comfortable there. Like you're a despotic king about to enjoy being serviced."

Jesse burst out laughing. Had he ever had so much fun with a woman? Sure, the s.e.x was the best in his life. But just the fun? Even more than s.e.xy, Audra was quirky and sweet. The woman, he realized with sudden, absolute conviction, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

The realization didn't even bother him. It just felt good. Felt right. He probably best keep it to himself, though. Or she'd kick him out of bed without chocolate.

"Despotic?" he asked instead.

"Yeah. Like you're so sure you know what's coming next and it's all about you."

"All about us," he corrected with a grin. Because no matter who did what, he'd be getting pleasure beyond belief. That That he knew. And there was no way he'd be stopping until her pleasure was ripped from her while she screamed with ecstasy. he knew. And there was no way he'd be stopping until her pleasure was ripped from her while she screamed with ecstasy.

With a roll of her eyes, Audra slowly shook her head.

"Never get too comfortable," she warned. "The last thing I'll ever be is predictable."

With that, she pulled her fingers out of the chocolate and lifted them to her mouth. Holding his gaze, she sucked first one, then both fingers into her mouth. Her tongue slid down the length of her hand, sipping up the chocolate that had dripped down to her wrist.

Jesse swallowed, trying to wet his suddenly parched throat. More than anything, he wanted to taste that chocolate. But only if it was off her body.

Eyes narrowed, he watched her dip her fingers back in the jar, coming up with a scoop of the rich brown liquid. He held his breath and waited to see where she'd put it. And wished with all his might it was somewhere he could lick it off.

"We're gonna play a little game," she informed him.

Her words seemed to be coming from a distance through the blood roaring in his ears. She lifted her chocolate-drenched fingers to her breast, the deep brown confection a vivid contrast to her pearly white skin and coral nipples. All his concentration was focused on the sight of those fingers swirling the sweet syrup over her nipple.

Jesse leaned forward and grabbed her by the waist. Audra knelt on the mattress between his spread legs, but that was as close as she came. He sat forward, trying to get a taste, but she leaned back, limbo style.

"Nope," she said. "It's my game."

"Are you going to tell me the rules?" he asked.

"Of course not," she said with a light laugh.

He'd have objected, but she was now spreading chocolate over his his nipples. nipples.

"I'll give you a hint, though. The first round-"

"Round?" he interrupted. His d.i.c.k was already so hard it could drive nails and she planned to go rounds? rounds? The woman was crazy. The woman was crazy.

"The first round," she said again with a raised brow, "is follow the leader. You have to do what I do, match for match."

Jesse grinned. Given the directions were already painted in chocolate, this would be a definite pleasure. Antic.i.p.ation making him c.o.c.ky, Jesse reached out and flicked his finger over her chocolate-covered nipple.

"But," she said as he stuck his finger in his mouth and sucked at the bittersweet flavor, "I'm the leader. Which means you can only only do what I do. No improvising." do what I do. No improvising."

"No..."

"None." She tilted her head to the side and, watching him through hooded eyes, cupped her hand under her breast as if offering it up for his pleasure. "Can you follow the rules?"

"As long as I get to set them for round two."

"Deal," she agreed.

Then she leaned forward and used that amazing tongue of hers to drive him insane.

His head spinning with sensations, Jesse gave in to the game. He followed her lead, reveling in the sensations as she tormented his body with her mouth, her hands and her own sweet body.

On his turn, he gave equal measure. Jesse wasn't sure which was more exciting-the satisfaction of Audra's body writhing with pleasure beneath his mouth, or how incredible she felt and tasted. Jesse's mind was a fog of sharp, edgy need. All he could think of was the woman in bed with him, even as his body screamed for release.

With slitted eyes, he watched Audra lean back and scoop in another fingerful of chocolate. Sitting forward, she took his mouth in deep, biting kisses. He was so into it that it wasn't until he felt her grip his d.i.c.k in her slick fingers that he realized they'd moved on to the pinnacle of round one.

She scooted down to kneel between his legs, and Jesse knew this was heaven. Barely holding on to control, he watched as she licked away the chocolate and knew he wasn't going to last much longer.

With a groan, he pulled her up to meet his mouth.

"My turn," he said against her lips. "This time, we'll see who can make the other scream first."

AUDRA'S BREATH shuddered at the look in Jesse's eyes. His face tight with desire, he slipped around so they both lay on their sides facing one another with his feet toward the foot of the bed, hers toward the top, their mouths within easy kissing distance of each others. shuddered at the look in Jesse's eyes. His face tight with desire, he slipped around so they both lay on their sides facing one another with his feet toward the foot of the bed, hers toward the top, their mouths within easy kissing distance of each others.

"More follow the leader?" she asked after he brushed a soft, sweet kiss over her mouth.

"Follow my lead," he said, trailing his lips over her jaw, then down her throat. Since he was essentially upside down, his chest was now in front of her face.

Nice.

Audra took advantage of the delicious expanse of well-muscled flesh. Gliding her hands over the smooth plane of his chest, she used her teeth and tongue to tease his nipples.

She wanted to focus on making him scream. Proving her own s.e.xual prowess by driving him wilder than he'd ever been before. But he had his mouth on one breast, nibbling little kisses in an ever-tightening circle. And all she could think was Please hurry. Please hurry. She had to feel his mouth on her nipple, his teeth. Something. She had to feel his mouth on her nipple, his teeth. Something.

As if he'd heard her silent plea, Jesse took one stiff bud in his mouth at the same time he tweaked the other with his fingers. Already dripping with desire, Audra squirmed.

Gentleman that he was, Jesse released her breast and slid his open palm down her body until he reached her aching core. Audra gasped when his fingers flicked her throbbing center. She was ready to explode. And d.a.m.ned if she'd go alone.

She pulled away and slid down so his hard length was in front of her face. Jesse shifted so he was on his back, she on her knees over him.

Audra took him into her mouth at the same time he licked his tongue along her swollen lips. She pressed herself to him and used every bit of talent she had with her mouth and hands to send him higher and higher.

Her breath coming in gasps, Audra lost her focus. Forgotten was her intent to drive Jesse crazy. She couldn't find the energy to care about proving her prowess. She sucked his delicious flesh into her mouth, her hands cupping his jewels and giving him a gentle squeeze.
