Fire and Ice: Book One: Burned (The Fire and Ice Series 1) Page 8

  I rapidly rose from the floor and headed to the kitchen for a drink. I definitely needed something stronger than a beer. My hand was killing me, and mind was reeling. Before I made it halfway down the hallway, Hailey caught up to me, and stepped in front of me, attempting to halt me, as I continued to try to sidestep her. Finally, I grabbed her by the shoulders, and set her aside, as I continued past her.

  I reached the kitchen, knowing full well she was hot on my heels, and grabbed a bottle of Jack out of the cupboard, pouring myself half a glass. That ought to take the edge off...for starters. I took a few large swallows, letting the acidy burn flow down my throat, as the warmth of the soothing liquid eased my frayed nerves. Turning around, I realized I was cornered against the kitchen counters by Piss Pants, and had nowhere to run, lest I physically remove her...again. I rolled my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose, now feeling as if I had an annoying younger sibling following me around. More like kissing cousins. VERY DISTANT cousins. I had drained half of my whiskey, so a small laugh escaped me, as I inwardly amused myself.

  With a perplexed look, Hailey asked, "What's so funny?"

  I shook my head, and replied simply, "Nothin'," before I hopped up onto the counter. If she was gonna cage me in, I might as well get comfortable for a while. "So, how can I help ya darlin'," I continued with a sly grin. If people thought I was a dick day to day, they sure as hell wouldn't want to be around me when I was drinking whiskey. My cocky attitude magnified to at least twice its normal dosage; and I loved every minute of it.

  Hailey sighed, as if defeated, and lowered her head, mumbling out, "Will you please let me apologize...for earlier?"

  I snorted...the whiskey kicking in, making me bold and uncaring, as I acquiesced, ushering my hands for her to have at it. "Fine, let's hear it...this should be good," I chuckled. She didn't look amused, and I couldn't care less.

  She took a deep breath, looked around, as if trying to find the right words to convey her thoughts, and said in a hushed tone, "I didn't mean to call you a liar, Kellan. I just thought...at the time, well," she lowered her head again, and began to wring her hands, continuing, "What was I supposed to think?" She looked up to me, her eyes glossed over with a fresh set of tears, and her voice rising, as she said, "You and Georgia painted a pretty clear picture, ya know?"

  I nodded in understanding, and threw back the rest of my drink, pouring another glassful to ease my anxiousness. I didn't do the whole 'Can we kiss and make up?' shit. This was new territory for me. But something about Hailey made me want to make things right between us. I needed her to hear me out. "Is it my turn, now?" I asked sarcastically. She bit her bottom lip and nodded. Jesus, I couldn't even put my pride aside to give her a proper explanation.

  I combed my hands through my hair and blew out a frustrated breath to calm myself, before I continued, "I was fucking around with her." Hailey cocked her brow and placed a hand on her hip. Definitely poor word choice. "Not like that, Hailey...I mean, I was being a dick to her. She isn't even into men." Hailey looked at me skeptically. I held up my right hand, adding, "I swear...you can ask her yourself."

  Hailey shook her head back and forth in disbelief. "I don't get you, Kellan. Why would you act like that towards her? You two looked liked you were ready to get it on in the middle of the hallway!" she exclaimed.

  I jumped down off the counter, invading her space, as we now stood just inches apart. She made no effort to back away from me, and began to tremble slightly. Goddamnit...being near to her had me on overdrive; but I still owed her clarification about what had happened between Georgia and me. As my mind flew back to the conversation I'd overheard between Hailey and Georgia, my expression hardened as I recanted what I'd stumbled upon. "I heard her...talking to you. I heard every goddamn word she was forcing down your throat about me...about us. She had no right to..."

  Hailey interrupted, "Us?"

  I closed my eyes, and leaned my hands back against the counter, not even realizing at the moment the implications of dropping the mother of all bombs, in the tiniest of all packages. Us. A slip of the lip? Or... I had to get this situation under control before Hailey started thinking thoughts that would never happen. She was great. Better than great- she was the total package...sweet and sassy, beautiful and classy. She drove me wild, to the brink. But it would never be more than casual, and she would always want more. Granted, seeing another man's eyes on her puts my stomach in knots; not my usual style. And Jordan is still going to fucking explain himself. The thought of him wanting her, being with her...

  Hailey breaks me out of my self-induced reverie, pulling me back into reality. "Kellan," she furrows her brow, continuing with a saddened look, "What do you want from me?"

  Hailey

  Kellan looked at me with fire in his eyes, an intensity that instantly had me melting, and my breath hitching. He wasted no time in grabbing me by the waist, pulling me into him, and growling out, "Everything," before he captured my lips, biting and sucking them in a frenzied onslaught. He continued his explorations, delving his tongue deep inside of my mouth, as I tried to meet his hungry passion, his tongue ring clashing with my teeth. God, he was driving me wild.

  I slid my hands along his strong shoulders, up his neck, and into his soft black hair, mussed and sexy as hell. His tight t-shirt left nothing to the imagination, as his muscled frame flexed against the fabric; the only barrier between us being our clothing. I wanted nothing more than to feel his heated skin against mine, feel him enter me and take me to heaven on Earth.

  Sliding his hands to grab my bottom, he pulled me against his hard, straining erection. The thought of me affecting him this way had me panting with need for him as he broke our kiss and began to lick his way down my jawline and neck. I tilted my head to give him better access, as I moaned in pleasure, while he made his way to my earlobe, nipping at it, as his hot breath brushed against my skin. But I'd been here, nearly here, with Kellan before. I didn't want to get my hopes up, only to have him toy with me, and push me away, yet again. Damnit, though...I was so lost to his feverish touch, and his hands were everywhere.

  He pulled away from me and slid his hands into my hair, gripping hard, and pulling my face back to peer into my eyes. The pressure of his grasp against my scalp felt heated, and somewhat painful, yet excited me at the same time. Everything about Kellan excited me. There was a thrill behind not knowing where he'd take me next...how far he'd go...where this would lead.

  Kellan shoved off of the counter, pushing me back a step as he continued to rein me in, hiking my leg around his waist. He ground his erection against my wet core, before he placed his lips to my ear, gritting out with his hot breath against my skin, "Tonight, you're mine, Princess...only you and me." He pulled back to peer at me with lust filled adoration. His statement left me not only dumbfounded, but also dripping with need for him. If I were being honest, I had needed him from the moment I saw him; and tonight, Kellan was about to give himself over to me for the first time. A lump formed in my throat at the thought of how far we'd come, and how fast I'd really fallen for him without realizing it. Now that I knew how he really felt about me, I needed to make my feelings clear, too. By the end of the night, Kellan would be able to rest easy, knowing he was the only man for me.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Kellan

  I was living and breathing for Hailey right now, her body against mine driving me to the brink of insanity. I had to have her, taste her, and feel myself inside of her. I felt like a savage, as I fisted her hair, and I meant it when I told her I wanted everything from her tonight. I needed her for just one night. I planned to take all she was willing to offer, and push her to her limits tonight. When I'm through with her, she'll know no other man will ever fuck her the way I can.

  I hoist her against me, as she wraps her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck; my glass falling from the counter in our frenzied state, and shattering to the floor. I barely register the destroyed glass, as Hailey hangs on
for dear life, and I carry her across the kitchen, the shards of glass biting into my skin with a sweet edge of pain, that of a thin needle. My body is on alert in every facet imaginable. The pain and pleasure mixed together with the hint of a buzz from the alcohol are driving me to carnal heights.

  I could feel Hailey's heated pussy against my rock hard cock, and if I didn't have her soon, I wouldn't be able to control myself. I prided myself on my stamina, but goddamn, she was driving me wild, and this could end up being a one-man show.

  I needed to feel her wetness...I couldn't hold off any longer. As I made my way to my bedroom, I slipped my hand between us, reached into her panties, and stroked her sopping wet lips, eliciting a gratifying moan falling from her mouth, her head lulling against my shoulder, as if she were unable to hold it up of her own accord.

  As much as I wanted to slide my fingers deep inside of her, she was too ready...her labored breathing indicated she was close, too close. I wanted to make this first time last. We had all night. I planned to make her come over and over again, but her first taste would have to wait a bit longer.

  Reaching my bedroom door, I toed it open and removed my hand from her soaked panties to turn on the light, as a muffled groan escaped her lips in protest. She was eager, burning with desire. I'd have to settle her down, and bring her back up again, slowly.

  I gently released her from my grasp, setting her on the floor, as I gazed into her eyes, not wanting the moment to end, but fervent to begin my exploration of her decadent body. I planned to make tonight about Hailey's pleasure. My time would come, along with her satisfaction. This was a first for me, and the thrill was irrefutable. The want and need on her face echoed my own.

  I broke eye contact with her and scanned her body, needing to see every inch of her mouthwatering, creamy skin. Not bothering to bring my eyes back to hers, I simply commanded, "Take it off." With a slight tremble, she began to undress, her outfit pooling to her feet, leaving her in just her lacy black bra and matching panties. Damn she was a sight to behold. It was going to be a shame to have to see the beautiful ensemble leave her delicious body. But I needed to see all of...every gorgeous fucking inch. Bringing my hungry gaze to her uncertain one, I stated, "All of it."

  With trepidation, she reached behind herself, and undid her bra, letting it fall from her perfect breasts, as I stared in amazement. Before she could slide her underwear off, I stepped forward and took her breasts in my hands, palming them, as I ran my thumbs over her taught nipples. Pinching them, she groaned, only further hardening my already twitching dick. She was ready, and playtime had just begun.

  I yanked my t-shirt over my head, and divested myself of my jeans and socks. I always went commando, so when I'd straightened, the look on Hailey's face was of pure awe. Fuck yeah. She obviously loved what she saw, and I couldn't wait to give it to her. I was wasting time as it was, and I still wanted to give her as much pleasure as I could before I gratified myself.

  Without warning, I grabbed her by the waist, spun her around to face the bed, and bent her over it, pulling her panties down to the floor, as I spread her legs wide. She let out a gasp as I dropped to my knees, spreading her ass cheeks, and giving her pussy a swift swipe of my tongue before I cracked her on the ass. She inhaled a sharp breath and tried to rise from the bed, but I wasn't about to let her get off that easily. She'd get off, alright...but she was going to stay put, as I halted her by pushing down on her back, saying, "Relax, baby...you're gonna like this." She hesitated for a moment, and then went pliant against the mattress.

  I smoothed out the sting from her reddening ass, and spread her again, smoothing her juices throughout her slick, hot channel with my fingers before I pushed two fingers deep inside of her.

  "Oh, God, Kellan...don't stop," she pled.

  "You couldn't pay me to, baby," I answered, as I began to pump my fingers in and out of her, bending my head to lick and suck furiously at her clit, working my tongue ring around it, as she writhed in ecstasy. My fingers were lathered with her sweet juices, and she tasted intoxicating. I couldn't get enough of her. No amount of whiskey would ever compare to the buzz I was feeling as I felt her tightening inside, ready to drown me with her sweet bliss.

  As she began to pulsate, she moaned, "Ooh, Kellan, yes...don't stop. Ahh...don't stop, baby, I'm gonna come."

  "That's it, Princess...come for me. Come all over me."

  "Yes...yes...YES! Oooh, Kellan, yesss..." she cried out. Goddamn, those words were like a fucking symphony to my ears. Fuck waiting...I needed to be inside of her. I needed...her.

  Hailey

  Holy shit! That was the most Earth shattering experience I'd ever had with a man. Granted, I'd only ever been with two other guys. Eric, my Senior High School prom date. Ugh...the typical prom night hook-up. I can't believe I gave away my V-card to him. The following week, he was dating a varsity cheerleader. I was a band geek; so, let's just say things didn't look too bright for our future. Terrance was my boyfriend for a short time during my first semester in college, and after a few months, I thought he was the 'one'. Turns out, I wasn't the only 'one' he was seeing. You sure do know how to pick 'em. And as far as the sex goes...on a scale of one to ten, this was infinity.

  I was still lying across the bed on my chest, my legs quivering, when Kellan flipped me over roughly, grabbed my feet, and hauled them over his shoulders. Sweet Jesus...he's gonna fuck me like a porn star. I had never experienced sex like this in my life. And to be honest, I was scared to death. Kellan was well endowed, to put it mildly, and I had a feeling there would be no holding back with him. Maybe you just need to let go...give him...everything. He'd said he wanted everything from me tonight, so I settled my mind, and readied my body for whatever he had in store for me. I knew he had been with his fair share of women, and he obviously knew how to pleasure them. I decided to sit back and enjoy the ride.

  Kellan

  Hailey peered up at me, looking like a scared kitten. Good...that's how I wanted her, uncertain of my next move, yet submissive enough to take the plunge over the edge. She was there, right there with me in the moment, unrelenting. She wanted this as badly as I did. Sadly, it seemed she'd never been properly fucked. I planned to remedy that situation tonight, now. Christ, I wanted to be inside of her. "You on the pill?" I asked, the tip of my cock poised for her entrance. She nodded, but I raised a skeptical brow. I never rode bareback, but fuck, I've never wanted to feel the inside of a woman so badly before. I'd risk it, just to have her against me for one night.

  "I wouldn't lie about something like that, Kellan. I promise," she said, giving me a small smile, and as far as I was concerned, the green light.

  I rubbed the head of my dick against her opening, teasing her and readying her, as her eyes shut, and her head fell to the side. I gave her no mercy, as I swiftly slammed my cock into her pussy fully to the hilt. She cried out, and I quickly leaned down to cover her mouth with mine. I knew the pain was only temporary...in moments it would subside and she would be feeling the slow, sweet ache building again. She had to get past this barrier first. "Shh...," I whispered against her lips, as she stared at me with a frightened expression. I stilled inside of her, letting her adjust to the fullness, continuing, "Breathe. You have to breathe, baby." I peered down at her with adoration, as I said in a hushed tone, "I'm going to make this so good for you, Princess."

  She gave me a tender smile before I began to pump in and out of her, slowly a few strokes. Once she'd been able to take me in fully with comfort, I pumped harder, slamming into her with all of my force, as our sweat slickened skin slapped together. I massaged her breasts and teased her tense nipples, as she moaned with desire falling from her lips, as I continued to impale her. I could feel her squeezing me, tightening around my rock hard cock, nearing her orgasm. I was so close to my own, holding back my own release for the sake of Hailey. I wanted to come with her, to fill her with my seed as she erupted around me...and as I watched her beautiful fac
e look up into mine, I knew it was her moment...her moment of paradise. "That's it, Hailey...look at me."

  "Kellan, I...I need you."

  "Come, baby...come with me. Come with me, Hailey." She shattered around me, as she let her head roll to the side, arching her back off of the mattress, crying out my name, as I stiffened, pushing myself as far into her as I possibly could...I couldn't get close enough. I couldn't get enough. A wail escaped my throat as my own orgasm overtook me.

  As the warm feeling subsided, I collapsed on top of Hailey, both of us breathing heavily, as she slid her fingers through my sweat soaked hair. I breathed out against her neck, "Jesus, Hailey, that was amazing," with a slight chuckle. It was more than amazing...it was the best sex I'd ever had, but I couldn't tell her that. Shit like that led to feelings, and tonight was a one off.

  As I lay against her chest, listening to her heartbeat, Hailey said, "Kellan, I need to tell you something."

  Panic rose in my chest. Nothing good ever came from those words. "Please, Hailey...tell me you're...tell me that wasn't your first time," I begged.

  "What? No..." she squeaked out.
