OMG guess what I found. Okay, I'll tell you. I found the
prologue and first chapter of the next installment of Tristan and Danika's story.
PROLOGUE
DANIKA
I took a deep breath, my face buried in the most divine chest in the world. I’d been awake for a while, but I didn’t even think about getting up. I wasn’t sure If I was more wrapped around Tristan, or he me. We’d gone to sleep clutching each other, and from what I could tell, neither of us had moved an inch.
My leg was thrown over his hip, my arm around his side, a fistful of his T-shirt gripped in my hand like I was holding on for dear life. I was lying on my other arm, enough weight on it that it’d gone numb, and still, I didn’t even think about moving.
His arm was thrown over my shoulders, one leg pushed high between mine. I could feel my own T-shirt riding up to my ribs, his hand gripping a handful of it at my back. We’d been mirroring each other, clinging for dear life, even in sleep.
I felt him stir, and I lifted my head to look up at him.
His beautiful golden eyes were blinking, still blank from sleep. I witnessed his transformation from sweet oblivion and into dawning horror as he remembered.
I thought that might have been the worst thing about losing someone, that moment between asleep and awake, when you had to remember and accept the loss again, relive that moment when your life changed, and you lost something dear. It had been just over a month since his brother’s funeral, and he was still reliving that horrible moment of realization every morning.
Two days after the funeral, Tristan’s mother had asked him to leave her home and not come back. As wrong as it was, it was clear she was placing all of the blame for Jared’s death at Tristan’s door. I thought he’d taken the falling out well, considering all he’d been through, and I’d been confident that she’d change her mind after she made it out of her own grief, but so far she was holding firm in her pique. It was a struggle for me not to get mad at her. But I told myself, over and over, that she was just hurting bad, and that much pain could spill outward. She loved Tristan, and so she would get over this.
Tristan had taken her rejection well, all things considered, but he needed me now more than ever, and I was determined to get him through this.
He’d spent the past month basically glued to my side. He still had his apartment, but he’d slept over at Bev’s house every single night since we’d left his mother’s. He didn’t want to be alone for even a second, and I understood. Solitude was perhaps a necessary component when dealing with grief, but I could not deny this man anything.
We didn’t go out, spending our days playing with the boys, and our nights watching re-runs of Jerry’s all time favorite show, Arrested Development, over and over again, until we could quote the episodes to each other. We’d make love, fall asleep, then make love again. It was a time of comfort and distraction, of love and avoidance.
To this day, I thought back on those days as the most bittersweet of escapes.
His eyes shut tightly, and his lips sought out mine, seeking comfort through touch. I gave it to him. I was ready and willing to give him absolutely everything.
His fingers let loose their grip on my shirt, skimming up along my back, peeling it off me in a few smooth, swift motions. His shirt received the same treatment from my impatient hands. I rubbed my chest to his, as we made direct contact, skin on skin.
He dragged off my panties while I dragged off his boxer-briefs, kissing every part of his body that I could reach, sucking his nipple hard into my mouth until he gasped and tugged me away, his hands in my hair.
He slid his hands down to my hips, gripping tight. He rolled onto his back, and pulled me up to straddle him. “Ride me,” he told me gruffly, using those big hands to tug me into place over his erection.
I arched my back, using one hand to balance on his chest while the other guided him to my entrance. I rubbed him there, letting him feel how ready I was, and just loving the feel of his tip playing over me.
His hips bucked underneath me, pushing him in far enough to make me gasp. “Now,” he growled, “I can’t wait.”
I pushed down while he surged up, seating me to the hilt.
My eyes closed, my head falling back as sensation overtook me.
I stayed still, just enjoying that perfect contact, until his impatient hands tugged at my hips, urging me to move. I circled at first, a teasing motion that had him gripping my ass and moaning.
I bit my lip and worked into a rhythm, rocking back and forth, back and forth.
He brought one hand up, kneading at my breast, his other sliding up my thigh, going unerringly to my clit, rubbing in a circle that brought me to the threshold of release deliciously, leisurely.
Those magic hands never missed their mark.
“Please,” I cried, quickening my pace.
He worked me faster, and I froze and shook like I had a fever, letting the waves of rapture take me. I felt him jerking inside of me as I came back down from that addictive high, his face arrested in his own gratifying release. I loved to watch him come, and I held as still as I could, impaled on him, until his eyes opened, and he blinked up at me.
I folded down to lay against him, burying my face in the side of his neck, breathing him in.
He always smelled divine. Like home.
“I love you,” he rasped out. He said it all the time. He didn’t hold it back, now that he’d admitted it, but it still gave me butterflies, every single time.
“I love you,” I spoke softly into his ear.
He gripped me harder. “I can’t ever lose you, Danika. I’m not sure I’d survive it.”
“You’ve got me. And I’m not going anywhere. Not ever.”
I meant the words when I said them, but life had other plans for us.
I was, by nature, a fighter, and no one could say I didn’t fight for us.
I’d have given my life for that fight.
In fact, I very nearly did.
First Chapter
TRISTAN
I was shrugging into a dark blue T-shirt when I froze mid-motion, not quite believing my eyes.
“There is no fucking way you are wearing that,” I told her, sitting down on the edge of my bed to watch her, equal parts pissed off and turned on at the sight of her.
She was wearing tiny black cheer shorts that didn’t belong outside of a bedroom, and a black half-shirt that read ‘
Fuck No’. It left all of the skin bare from two inches below her naval to the top of her ribs, just covering her breasts. She wasn’t even wearing a bra.
My jaw went slack, my eyes glued to the sight.
She didn’t have huge breasts, but they were a handful, and they were fucking perfect, soft and pliant in my hands, and when real tits went braless, there was no mistaking it.
“Fucking no way in hell.”
“I can’t wear a bra after the tattoo, and the half-shirt makes it so I won’t have to take off my top for the cameras. Frankie told me exactly what to wear, and I’m wearing it, so wipe that Neanderthal look off your face.” As she spoke she twisted her hair into a bun on top of her head, the shirt riding up, bearing the undersides of her breasts.
“Are you fucking serious?”
She rolled her eyes, completely blowing me off as she slipped into flip-flops.
“It’s important for me to be comfortable and properly prepared, Frankie says. If you can’t behave yourself, you are staying home.”
“Are you fucking serious?” I repeated. “I took a week off just for this, and you’ve had to postpone it for weeks, just so I could go with you.”
“So behave yourself if you actually want to come.”
I clenched my jaw to keep from arguing, counting to ten, my eyes glued to the front of her shirt.
“Fuck No?” I asked her.
“Frankie says it’s a great way to let the censors keep you modest. If my nipples are hard, they won’t pick it up, because they’ll already be blurring the word fuck. She loaned me the shirt.”
No shit, I thought. It was clearly a Frankie creation.
She moved to stand in front of me, hands on her sexy little hips. I reached up, palming her breasts with both hands. I closed my eyes, not quite managing to stifle a groan.
“We’re already late, Tristan, and the camera crew is on a tight schedule.”
My eyes snapped open to glare at her. I lifted her shirt that minuscule degree it took to bare her tits, cursing loudly and fluently as I leaned forward, framing her breasts in my hands and sucking one hard nipple into my mouth.
“I’m going to pin you to that table when she’s done with you and fuck your brains out.”
She gasped, and one of my hands snaked down, sliding into the waistband of her shorts to finger her. I yanked it out with a curse, using the leg of her shorts instead to ram my finger into her hard.
“If I can get at your pussy this easy, that’s a good sign that your shorts are too tiny.”
Her hips twitched, moving on my finger, and I went back to sucking on her nipple and working her on my finger.
I waited until she was close and pulled away, extricating my finger slowly, teasingly. “We’re late, boo. Remember? Tight schedule.”
She glared at me, backing away.
I grinned at her and winked.
I could barely keep my eyes on the road as we drove to Frankie’s tattoo parlor, glancing over at her every time she shifted on her seat.
She was jittery with excitement, and every movement, every twitch of her body was distracting in that barely there excuse of an outfit.
I fondled her with one hand until she moaned, trying to push my hand away.
“Quit teasing me,” she complained. “I don’t want to be turned on right now. It’s going to be hours before we can do anything about it.”
“Well, tough shit,” I told her, sending her a sidelong smile. “You know what that outfit is? It’s a tease. You’re only getting what you’re dishing out right now.”
She lifted her shirt, and my hand was suddenly kneading at her bare skin.
Fuck.
I glanced over.
She was folding the band of her shorts down, making them even tinier, and pulling the waistband open wide. She grabbed my hand and slid it down her body, cupping my hand over her sex, shifting until she could force one of my big fingers inside of her.
I yanked my hand away, and refused to look at her for the rest of the drive. As always, she’d won the teasing contest. She was the uncontested champ.
I should have known better than to go
there.
I put my arm around her like the overprotective boyfriend I was as we walked through the casino, glaring at every asshole that stopped to stare at her.
“Fucking pinning you to that table as soon as she’s done. Going to fuck until we’re both fucking raw,” I muttered under my breath, making her giggle. I wasn’t even close to joking.
She tried to hug Frankie when she we got to the shop, but I got in between them, giving Frankie a pointed look. “You talked her into wearing this, but you sure as hell aren’t feeling her up while she does it.”
Frankie just laughed.
Danika punched me in the shoulder.
I stood back, arms folded across my chest as the TV producer did a brief interview for the show about her tattoo. She blushed and giggled and told a little story about how she’d always loved cherry blossoms.
She was adorable, and I was counting the seconds until I could fuck her brains out again.
They did a lot of closeups of the spot on her back where the ink was going. Frankie held up a square of paper that was about three by five inches, illustrating exactly where and how she planned to place her precise sketch of a cherry blossom branch, left of her spine, the top ending right where her shoulder blade started. It was beautiful, as I’d known it would be. Frankie’s work was always excellent.
I stood at Danika’s head, holding both of her hands for hours while Frankie worked, wanting to punch each member of the camera crew nearly every second of those hours.
The work was slow and fascinating. Watching Frankie work was always a treat, but watching Danika’s lovely back becoming even more exquisite with an intricate piece of art was an experience.
And of course it turned me on.
Danika took the pain well. I’d crouch down to check her expression, and only occasionally were her eyes squeezed tight with pain. Mostly, they were clear, and excited about seeing the results.
I took down her hair, and stroked it, and even bent down to kiss her face when Frankie took the needle off for brief breaks while she switched ink, or wiped the area.
The final result was well worth the wait, and the pain. Dark branches were painstakingly detailed, and ended in pretty blossoms that went from myriad shades of pale pink, to magenta, to a bright red.
It was a feminine tattoo, perfect in every detail, just like its owner. She squealed in delight when she finally got a good look at it.
“Give her some privacy while she gets dressed,” I snapped at the crew when Frankie was finally done.
Frankie shooed them out, following behind. She gave me a rueful smile before she shut the door behind her. “I’ll blast some rock so you can have some privacy. I’d recommend you lock up after me.”
I locked the door, moving back to the table. Danika was already on her stomach, lying down, so all I had to do was twist her until she was sideways, her hips at the edge of the table, her feet not quite touching the ground.
“Get up on your elbows,” I told her, tugging off her shorts.
“I can’t believe you’re doing this,” she said breathlessly, raising up just enough to give me access to her chest.
“No one can say I didn’t give you fair warning.”
“Frankie knows exactly what we’re doing in here.”
No shit, I thought. “Nah,” I said. “You just needed a minute to straighten your clothes.”
“I don’t have that many clothes.”
“That’s the problem, now, isn’t it?” I slid my hands up her ribs, palming her bare breasts under that joke of a shirt.
I rammed into her, not stopping until my hips slammed hard against her.
She screamed, gripping the other edge of the cushioned table.
“Well, now she definitely knows what we’re doing,” I rasped, pulling out slowly. I let go of her breasts, leaning back to watch my cock slide out of her slick entrance, cursing as her sheath gripped me tight, the curses turning into praise as I lunged back inside of her, hitting the end of her so hard it jarred us both, and she screamed again.
I bent back over her, speaking into her ear. “Did I hurt you, sweetheart?”
“No. More, Tristan, more. Fast. Please, please.”
I closed my eyes, the sound of her soft voice begging me about all I could take.
I was true to my word. I pinned her to that tattoo table and fucked her brains out.
I came so hard, my legs just about gave out, and I was shouting nearly as loud as she was screaming.
“You like that angle, huh?”
She mumbled something in the affirmative, laying her cheek on the table, looking like she was about to drift off.
I cleaned us both up with paper towels from the bathroom that adjoined the room, slipping her shorts back on her.
I had to pick her up and set her on the table to get her upright, and even then she leaned forward against me, her head on my shoulder. I copped a feel, completely powerless to keep my hands off her bra-free tits.
“Just remember, if you ever decide to wear something like this again, this is what will happen. You won’t be able to get anything done, because I won’t be able to stop touching you for more than seconds at a time.”
“I need a nap,” she said, sounding half asleep already.
“I need inside of you again,” I said into her ear, already trying to work her shorts back over her hips.
Copping a feel had backfired in a hurry. My brainless cock had taken it to heart.
I fucked her sitting up that time, leaning her back on her hands so I could watch her round breasts bounce with every jarring thrust, her shirt pulled up to her neck.
Frankie knocked loudly on the door for that round, telling us to hurry up.
I shouted loudly back for her to fuck off.
I pounded into Danika, growling, cursing, praising, all the while completely mesmerized by her naked chest. Something about having just the tops of her shoulders covered, and the rest of her bare, was turning me into a sex-crazed maniac.
Come to think of it, everything about her turned me into a sex-crazed maniac.
She moaned almost lazily as she came that time, squeezing me like a vise for torturous, drawn out moments.
I shouted and came, laid her back on her elbows, spread her legs wider, bringing her heels up to the table, and hard again, I pushed inside of her.
Again.
She was so slick, so full of
me, and I groaned and cursed and rutted mindlessly in her until my legs wouldn’t hold me for another second.
I leaned forward on my elbows as I twitched and spurted inside of her, my face in her neck, and wondered if anyone would notice if we passed out on Frankie’s table for a few hours.
“You better clean up after yourselves, you nymphomaniac horndogs!” Frankie was shouting on the other side of the door.
Who knew how long she’d been shouting? Not me.
“I put clorox wipes by the door, lovebirds!” she shouted, maybe five minutes later.
I blinked, wondered if I’d been sleeping, and then studied Danika, trying to figure out if she
was sleeping. She was still managing to prop herself up on her elbows high enough not to lay directly on her fresh tattoo.
“I hope she doesn’t think we’re going to use those to clean ourselves,” I muttered, trying to find the strength to stand up straight.
“I think those are for her table that we desecrated,” Danika murmured, eyes still closed.
“And the floor! And the wall! And everything else you touched in there!” Frankie shouted.
“How about you work on getting thicker walls in here, Miss nosypants?” Danika shouted back without missing a beat, her face still looking relaxed enough to be asleep.
I couldn’t help it. I laughed. Even nearly unconscious, she could manage to dish out sass.
Did you love these excepts like I do. I can't want for more.... What do you think ? Tell me.
Coming out Summer 2014
