THE COUGAR'S BABY - 17

C H A P T E R S E V E N T E E N - - - - D A N I E L L A

Dani yelled and collapsed onto Shaun's lap. Her initial reaction was to leap to her feet and separate herself from him as much as possible, but the instant his lips met hers, she was doomed. Her fingers grasped his hair as her hands wound around his neck, kissing his mouth with an intensity she could only recall from one other occasion in her life.

They had shared a night together.

"What the heck are you doing, Shaun?"

She asked, gasping for air and only briefly pulling herself away from his mouth.

“Why are you doing that?” He responded, and the grating grin on his face drove her plunge back in, determined to rip the breath from his lungs just as he had done to her.

She was yelling at herself to halt, think, and cool the heck down from every sensible part of her. A harsh voice was reprimanding her for what she was doing even as her fingers were raking down his sides and ripping his shirt up and over his head.

This man was dangerous. She had the bruises to prove it, even if she’d goaded him into going hard instead of playing light like he’d intended to. This man could kill from a distance so great she could barely imagine it. This man was violent at the best of times, and deadly at the worst.

So why was she clinging to him like her life depended on his closeness?

Shaun kissed Dani's neck and then the top of her collarbone as her tongue traced the salty flesh. Dani groaned loudly. She voluntarily raised her hands as he began to remove her shirt, and when he spent too long to admire her figure instead of placing his hands back on her, she whimpered in complaint.

She was a willing addict who was addicted to him, and she didn't want it to end.

It made no difference who entered through the door; it was open to everybody. Additionally, she was aware that what she was doing was wrong, but that didn't matter either.

In reality, Shaun had been the sole guy on her thoughts every day and night that she had been apart from him. The only person who gave life to her dreams and caused her to wriggle and moan in the sheets while her fingers teased her clit and her head was thrown back in lust. She was powerless to resist him once he arrived and demonstrated the intensity and yearning she had been feeling. Wouldn’t.

Dani jumped back in for another kiss as Shaun undid her bra, his mouth still tasting of blood with that coppery tinge, and hers did too. While feeling the sharp edges of the incision she had given him, she kissed his bottom lip, biting it lightly. Knowing she was capable of hurting him and loving him while also knowing that he desired both was enticing.

She leaned back and let him see her breasts while his hands were on hers. His eyes were black with need as he smirked, much as she recalled from the night in the bunker. Her hips dug into him as she admired how he was becoming hard under her, his monster cock poised to fuck her senseless as she had always desired.

Shaun suddenly found himself on top of her, tugging down her underwear and pants while she pulled at his sweatpants with her fingers wrapped around the waist. He readily agreed, removing her pants before effortlessly slipping out of his own, his physique just as she remembered it.

He towered above her as Dani hiked herself up on her elbows, naked on the training mat, looking up at him. His cock was rock hard, jutting upward like a pillar, and her mouth watered. His thighs were thick, lined with muscles, tapering at the hips and stomach to create a carved picture of masculine power. His chest was wide and strong and her eyes kept tracing the tattoos she remembered on him, seeing details she’d forgotten or never noticed.

“Fuck, I’ve missed you,” she whispered, clambering up on her knees in front of him.

She stopped him when he moved to get down on his knees, her hand on his thigh and moving upward until it softly cupped his heavy balls.

“I’ve missed you too, baby,” he growled, and it was the most beautiful thing she’d heard in a long, long time.

Of course he’d missed her, he’d told her as much. But then and there, she couldn’t believe it. She wasn’t even sure she could now, because none of the reasons that had caused her to want to keep her distance had disappeared. They were all still there, looming and threatening. But this was now and everything else could be figured out later. She couldn’t handle any reality that didn’t conform to that belief.

Her tongue lapped up the length of his shaft, purring at the feel of the thick veins under her tongue. She followed one up to the head, flattening her tongue against the rigid length. Dani opened her mouth and took the head in, stuttering a little sigh-moan that shuddered through her as she curled her tongue around the velvety smoothness.

She gave up on holding herself back, her nails scrabbling at his thighs, pulling him closer. Dani rose up from her haunches to take him in further, watching him as he looked down at her, his delicious lips slightly parted, his breath coming in quick bursts. She took his cock deep, gagging on him a little as her nose slammed into his pubic bone, then pulling back to do it again until her eyes watered and he was groaning, shuddering in her grasp.

She blew him like it was supposed to be done. Wet, sloppy, needy and so good that she knew she’d carry that memory with her no matter what happened next. Hands snaking up him, she laid them flat on his abs as she needily sucked on him, until his strong hands sharply gripped her and pulled her up to her feet, her lips missing him as soon as he was out of her mouth.

This time, he’d let her control the scene, but only for so long.

“Hungry, aren’t you?” he teased, before Dani got to yelp again because his hands were kneading her ass, crushing her against his body.

“Yes,” she admitted, lost in the moment. “I want more!”

Dani mewled as Shaun pushed her down then, flipping her around on her hands and knees before she knew what hit her. Her nails scraped at the plastic cover of the mat as she pushed herself against him, loving the feel of his cock, wet with her saliva, running up her slit and then nestling between her ass cheeks as he held her by the hips. Shaun ground into her slowly, bucking with slow, taunting motions, not giving her what she wanted so easily. But one hand slipped around her body and it left a fiery trail, exploding when his fingertips flicked over her clit.

“Shaun,” she whined, every muscle straining. “Please!”

“I thought you were afraid of me. That you didn’t want this,” he said, his voice heavy with emotion.

Dani looked over her shoulder and as she was about to speak, he rolled his fingers over her clit again, leaving her gasping and wailing. He did it a few more times, a smirk curling the corner of his mouth, before she could spit out words through gritted teeth.

“I don’t think I’m wrong for being a little bit afraid. But I fucking want this.”

It was enough. Thank the spirits above. Dani was pushed down on her elbows, her face against the mat as he spread her cheeks with his hands, rough and calloused as the pads were. She was glistening for him, she knew that much, wet with need for his thick cock. Dani closed her eyes tightly as he moved the head down to her slit, adding pressure, letting her hang on the edge a moment longer.

When he finally thrust in, it was like heaven and hell met in her head and body all at the same time. Her vision blurred and she saw stars and flashes of light as he sunk into her with his full length. He stretched her painfully, but it was the kind of pain that promised imminent pleasure, and within a few strokes, her body responded as she knew it would.

Her hips started moving back against him, willing him to fill her faster, to sink to the hilt as soon as he could. She wanted that feeling of fullness, that complete knowledge that she couldn’t take any more, that she was at her peak and he was the one she’d needed to reach it.

Shaun’s hand was on her breasts again, tweaking her nipples, making them hard and swollen and screaming for his mouth. Everything he did drove her to insanity and it was a feeling she relished.

“That’s so good, baby,” he growled, and it was music to her ears.

She loved hearing him grunt, groan, hiss for her, just as she did for him. His pace picked up when he buried himself in her, stretching her to her limits and bottoming out in her, and it was exactly as darkly wonderful as she’d hoped. Her moans turned into screams and when she felt his hot mouth on her skin, his hands pulling her up to her knees with her body flat against his, she couldn’t withstand it any longer.

Her orgasm came like a violent force, ripping through her and shaking her to the core. A thousand explosions went off at once, her nails digging into his skin, scraping at his arms as he pumped into her. Dani’s pussy clenched around Shaun’s cock, milking it, urging him to his finish as well.

She threw her head back against his shoulder, her cheeks slick with tears she didn’t know were falling, and his breath scorched against her as he planted kisses on her neck and cheeks and lips.

“That’s it, baby. Cum for me,” he whispered, and she could only answer with a long, drawn-out scream that encompassed all the hurt and all the desire that she’d felt when she’d missed him.

Before her body could relax, she felt his arms growing tighter around her, his hips bucking into her faster and more feverishly. Dani strained to meet his lips, sucking his lower lip into her mouth and keeping it trapped between her teeth as he came with a snarl, the jaguar and the man both muddled in that noise. She could feel the way his cock spilled his load inside of her, the thick shaft throbbing intensely.

In a daze, Dani was lowered down on the mat, Shaun’s strong arms never letting her go. He curled her up against him and she was glad for it, the little spoon in a big, firm grasp as they both fought to catch their breath, their bodies hot and sweaty against one another.

She loved the way his fingertips traipsed along her arm, leaving a heated trail there, then moving lower over her sides and thighs. There were some stretch marks there that hadn’t been there the last time they’d been together, but if he noticed, he didn’t mention it. However, the sensation of his hand skittering over her stomach brought her out of her happy bubble, breaking it with a swift and painful edge.

What are you doing, Dani, she asked herself, her eyes fluttering open. You shouldn’t be here. Not with him. You can’t do this to yourself or Ro!

And that was all it took. She practically hurled herself out of his grasp, clambering for her clothes, her lips pressed together in a tight line.

“Did I do something?” Shaun asked, his voice still breathy and his eyes beckoning, making her want to go and crawl back into his arms and stay there until nothing bad in the world could threaten her or her baby.

But she couldn’t.

“No. I have to go. This shouldn’t have… this shouldn’t have happened,” she muttered, tears in her eyes as she was already throwing on her shirt and grabbing her bag, trying to locate her cell phone to call a cab.

One glance back at him told her that he wanted to say something, but her hasty departure left her tongue-tied to explain her behavior.

Put distance between you, it’ll be better then, she tried to encourage herself, but it sounded like utter bullshit.

It hadn’t worked the last time, why would it now?
