Layers Peeled by Lacey Silks
Excerpt 1:
I closed my eyes. I’d missed the dance of Tristan’s lips on my body.
The three weeks without his touch felt like forever. I couldn’t even remember
the last time we’d had sex, and part of me began feeling like a virgin again.
His hot breath still at my belly grazed upward, meandering through the valley
of my breasts as he stood to face me. My bottom pressed against the sink as I
braced my entire weight there.
A button popped open on my tightening shirt. My breasts had grown
the last few weeks, and most of my wardrobe seemed to be shrinking in the chest
area.
“I missed you,” he said.
Another button loosened and Tristan kissed my neck. I leaned my head
to the side, allowing him greater access, and whispered, “I missed you too.”
Tugging on his shirt, I yanked it out of his pants. “You have no
idea how much I want you.”
“I can imagine.” Tristan nibbled on my ear and swept along my chin
toward my mouth. He spread my lips with a longing that had been denied for too
long. The delicious scar on his upper lip rippled against my mouth, his tongue
controlling me like it wanted to learn the shape of my lips all over again. I
moaned into him and his response hardened in his pants.
By this time I was done with his buttons, and I smoothed my hands
along his naked chest. Somehow we’d been walking and ended up by his desk
again. I didn’t remember the details. All that mattered was that my skin was
connected with his. His hands were all over me, exploring, tracing, fumbling
with my bra until I felt my breasts loosen.
“And I missed these as well,” he said against my mouth, while
molding the twins, one in each hand.
My hands roamed his chest and stomach. I couldn’t decide where to
touch next, and I wanted to feel him, all of him, all at once. Oh, how I’d
missed the field of muscles on his abs! I slid my palms over his lean torso.
The white scar over his heart, where Kendra had stabbed him, rippled under my
fingers. For the first time Tristan didn’t flinch. He let me caress and smooth
over the healed wound, all the while exploring my mouth. The kiss became more
fevered and so did my response. I didn’t recognize the desire burning inside
me. I had never felt this needy. I mean, I’d always wanted him, and the sex
held the gold medal in awesomeness, but this greed aching in my nipples and
between my legs was definitely something new.
I craved Tristan’s whole body as if it was on the menu as my last
meal. His erection poked against my belly. I wanted him inside me, yearning to
feel his stretch and warmth. The painful longing begging me to part my legs and
let Tristan do as he pleased pounded in a sweet tantalizing rhythm.
The phone rang. He pulled away from my mouth and pressed the
intercom button, saying, “I’m not in for the rest of the day.” Tristan didn’t
wait for whoever called to reply, but just hung up. Another click, and the lock
on his double door twisted and blinds lowered over the windows.
Excerpt 2:
Tristan’s soft steps of naked feet on a wooden surface approached.
Every step I heard spiked my heart rate. I felt my nipples harden and the tight
excitement surge deep into my belly so I dimmed the lights and leaned against
the kitchen island, ready to serve my man.
“You’re up to something.” Tristan strolled toward me. The look on
his face when he saw me scooping chocolate ice cream into two bowls said it
all. He had ripped the apron off me in his mind the moment he saw me.
The sun had set and Tristan had just taken a shower, getting ready
for bed. I’d left him a note on the nightstand asking him to join me for a late
snack. And now he was probably wondering whether the snack was the ice cream or
me.
Seeing him there, in nothing else but his silky pajama bottoms that
hung just below his hips, shot an urge of desperation to my groin. The exposed
triangle leading down to his waistband looked more appetizing than the dessert
I’d prepared. It would take every little ounce of restraint I hoped I had to
resist him. I had to tempt him first. Hook Tristan and reel him in slowly with
the most delicious bait I could imagine: myself. I’d only spent a few seconds
ogling him and already couldn’t wait to feel him between my legs. I wondered
whether I’d end up begging him to ease my deepening ache before I got a chance
to ask him the favor.
“Why would you say that?” I fluttered my lashes in innocence.
“Because you look like a temptress from hell in that outfit.”
“Is that a way to talk to the mother of your unborn child?” I turned
around to put the tub of ice cream back in the freezer, bending over to give
him a full view of my exposed backside, and then leaned a bit more forward for
good measure. If he could only get a look at my wet slit I was sure he’d be
gone. The quick inhale I heard confirmed my suspicions: he wouldn’t be able to
resist me for long.
“Are you trying to seduce me, Ms. Green?” he asked, as if I were
Mrs. Robinson.
“Is it working?”
“Hell yeah. Come here.”
“Not so fast, Mr. Cross,” I stood up and turned around, taking away
his view of my ass. “The ice cream will melt.” I lifted the spoon to my mouth,
licking it clean, sucking on it harder than needed. That little pulse
underneath Tristan’s bottoms began distracting me. The curve became more
defined with my every taunt, and he would soon run out of space under there.
“The only thing that will melt tonight is you underneath me.”
I pretended to pay no attention to him, even if my juices were ready
to welcome his fingers, tongue, and cock; not all at once, of course. I opened
the fridge and reached for the whipped cream. Shaking the can in a motion that
inspired another flex under his pants, I pointed the nozzle down and swirled an
artful mass on top of the ice cream. Once done I lifted the creamed tip to my
lips and licked the excess off.
Tristan growled.“You’re a bad girl.”
“Thank you for the compliment. Cherry?” I centered a single fully
ripe fruit on top of the cream, and then took an extra one between my teeth and
bit it with my mouth open. The crunch echoed in the kitchen. A drop of juice
collected in the corner of my mouth but I didn’t lick it away. Instead I braced
my backside against the cupboard, thankful I missed the stainless steel
dishwasher. I wouldn’t want my butt print on the appliance. The coolness of the
door against my heated skin felt welcome. I leaned my elbows on the counter as casually
as possible, which made the curves of my breasts spill further out the sides of
my apron.
Tristan took another step toward me, his intention clear from the
way he moved; in fact, he was now fully tenting out from underneath his
pajamas. He didn’t bother to wipe the cherry juice off my mouth as I’d
expected. Instead, he lowered his mouth to mine and licked it right off. The
gesture sent an army of flavorful tingles through my whole body. How in the
world would I be able to keep this up? I was beginning to doubt my ability to
sway him the way I’d planned, because now all I wanted to do was spread my legs
for him and welcome him in with a bang or two.
But Tristan had more strength for a man in need than I expected.
“The cherry tastes scrumptious, but I can think of an even more delicious one.”
His hand slid under the apron. For a moment I thought he’d reach right for my
cherry, but he slid his palm along my hip to the back, squeezing between me and
the counter, and untied the apron.
“Wouldn’t want the ice cream to drip on your beautiful apron,” he
teased.
My heart pounded and my breathing stilled. The innocent touch of his
fingers was like magic.
He reached up to my neck and unfastened the ties there as well. The
fabric dropped to the floor and I stood in front of him, naked and hot and at
his mercy. He braced his hands on the counter, one at each side of my hips. His
rigid cock poked my belly through the fabric, and I felt my knees soften.
“I will ask again, and only once. What is it that I can do for you,
Allie?”
Truthfully, my whole plan had just gone up in flames. I had set the
flicker when I prepared for this evening, but Tristan had added gasoline the
moment he stepped into the kitchen. The burning effect dripped on the inside of
my leg. What was it that I wanted to ask him? Why the charade?
“Make love to me,” I said.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” He shook his head sideways. “We make love in bed.
The kitchen and anything outside the bedroom are meant for fucking.” Tristan’s
hand slid to the side of the counter. My gaze followed the talented fingers I
so badly needed inside me. He lifted a spoonful of melting ice cream to his
mouth, saying, “Good, rough, merciless fucking.”
Excerpt 3:
“You sneak off downstairs too quickly, Allie. Are you all right?”
No! But I didn’t want to worry Tristan,
not before his cousin’s wedding.
“Well, we can’t really have sex every hour.” I rolled my eyes,
acutely aware I was teasing him because nothing would make me happier than
staying in bed with Tristan Cross all day long. Sex with him was always
earth-shattering. Our connection and mutual rhythm never ceased to amaze me.
“Says who? I could make it my priority to have you every hour. Like
right now sounds good.”
Judging from the hungry look on his face, he was serious, too!
“It’s too cold.”
“I bet I can get your heart rate going just like that.” He snapped
his fingers.
By the way my body was reacting to his unbelievable invitation, I
knew he’d win. That earlier swirl in my tummy was beginning to turn at the
speed of an ocean whirlpool, sucking all my hormones down to between my legs.
“Is that a challenge Mr. Cross?” I got off the toboggan and
Tristan’s weight tipped him over into the snow.
He sat in the white puff still serious while I laughed.
“If it gets you to lower your pants, hell yeah.”
“You can’t mean it...” I held onto my tummy instead of paying
attention to his swift move. In one pounce Tristan had me in his arms, merging
his lips with mine, insisting that I comply with his craving. And how could I
resist those warm lips and his persistent tongue? I could still smell the
remnants of his morning aftershave mixed with that intoxicating cologne of
Tristan. I weaved my fingers into his hair, pressing his head to mine. I
couldn’t get enough of him. Every breath felt sharper and wanton. Every nerve
awakened with a need to be stirred and satisfied. And within seconds Tristan
managed to turn this snowy day into a paradise. With my eyes closed and
Tristan’s body melting into mine, I imagined us on the hottest beach – because
admitting snow lay at our feet would be a lie. His hands were all over my body,
searching for an entrance from underneath the layers of clothing.
My back pressed against the tree. The rough bark dented into my ass,
and for a moment I wished I’d worn thicker pants. Tristan pinned me and gripped
my engorged breasts in his palms, molding them hard enough that I felt my tight
nipples peak even higher in search of his touch.
The sound of a zipper danced through the air. I didn’t care whether
it was his or mine, because the second one followed like an arousing echo.
“Turn around,” he asked.
I complied, bracing my hands on the tree as Tristan lowered my
pants.
