He reached around and tugged off the clamp on her right nipple. Her body clamped down on his like a vise, strangling his cock. He threw back his head for a moment, savoring the incredible feeling of her silken tunnel. He had the sensation of a thousand tongues licking and sucking at his cock. Her inner muscles squeezed and gripped him, desperate to milk him dry.
Keys tugged the second clamp free, and her body convulsed around his. Imploded. Fragmented. Took his with the force of a tsunami. There was no holding back, no stopping the massive explosion. He’d never felt so close to anyone. He’d never had such great sex in his life. He felt her body’s response and knew her orgasm was as massive as his. They rode it out together, and then she collapsed back into his arms.
“Now we go home,” he whispered. “You need to sleep.”
He needed her to sleep all night and hopefully part of the next day.
Seventeen
Keys sat on the edge of the bed and pushed back Lyric’s hair. He’d taken care of her, given her a bath even though she was half-asleep, gotten her into her pajamas and tucked her under the covers. She didn’t even question why he put her in pajamas when he preferred she slept naked. That was just a sign of how tired she was.
“Gotta go, baby. I want you right here in this bed. Sleep as much as you can. We’ve got the thing with Rampage tonight, and it isn’t going to be so fun, not like the party with Trinity.” He made the announcement as matter-of-factly as possible. This was going to be the first real test of how she would handle his absence when he couldn’t tell her what he was doing.
Lyric caught his arm, the sleepy, sated look disappearing to be replaced by alarm. “Where are you going?”
“It’s club business, Wildfire. Can’t tell you exactly. Torpedo Ink runs two teams. We get the call, we answer.”
She tried to sit, but he kept his palm, fingers splayed wide, on her belly, preventing the movement.
“That’s why you didn’t really drink. You sipped that one beer a couple of times, but you didn’t even finish the can. You knew you were leaving tonight.” There was a note of accusation in her tone. And hurt.
Keys didn’t like the hurt. Accusation, yes, she had every right to question how he handled things, but that little note of hurt caught at him. He brought her hand to his chest, ignoring the way she tensed up as though she might pull away.
“I wanted you to have fun tonight. To get to know all the women and see that the club is a family that you’re now part of. I wanted you to get the chance to realize they accept me when I’m different. They don’t judge. They let everyone be who they are. That was also one of the reasons I wanted you to stay and observe how kinky a party can get.”
“You loved being there.”
“Yeah, I like kink. I’ve never hidden that from you. I like dirty and rough. Again, Wildfire, I’ve always been up front about who and what I am. But you’re missing the point. Every person there is accepted and not judged, no matter what their needs or desires are. We’re a family, maybe strange and different, but you needed to see that strange and different is our normal.”
A faint smile touched her mouth. “Which am I? Strange or different?”
He didn’t smile back because his heart ached. He actually hurt with overwhelming emotion. He pressed her hand tightly over his heart. He didn’t do emotion all that well. “You’re a fucking miracle is what you are. A treasure beyond any price. You’re the most beautiful woman in the world to me, and that means inside and out. I have no idea what I did to earn you, but sometimes, when you’re sleeping, I just watch you. I always ask myself how I managed to be with someone like you. I’ll never deserve you, but I’ll always keep trying.”
Her green eyes went liquid. “Keys, don’t think like that. It’s beautiful, but you’re my particular miracle. I have no idea what you see in me. I’m so very thankful you do see me. All the things you said about me apply to you for me.”
He flashed his grin at her when there was a lump in his throat and a strange burning behind his eyes. “Babe, that’s so fucking convoluted, I’m not sure it made any sense.”
She burst out laughing, dispelling the rising tension, just as he’d hoped. He felt far too much emotion when he was with her, and he needed to be 100 percent monster for the next few hours.
Her smile faded. “Are you certain I can’t go with you?”
