Blindsided - Chapter 8
After the kiss that Erica had shared with Hudson in the hospital, she couldn’t get to his luxury apartment fast enough. He had broken every rule of the road, but Erica hadn’t complained. All she’d wanted was to get to his place and forget the outside world.
“God, you’re breathtaking,” he said, awe in his tone.
They were in his king-size bed, and her body hummed with need as his heated gaze traveled slowly down her body. He had a way of making her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. And at the moment, he was acting as if he had never seen her naked. The desire brimming in his eyes matched what she was feeling—adoration, love and a yearning to be with him for the rest of her life.
“I love you,” she said.
He smiled down at her. “Not as much as I love you.”
Erica slid her hand behind his neck, careful of the bandage near his ear, and pulled him closer. She kissed him with everything in her.
On the way to his place, he had told her about the incident. Shawn Taylor had gotten into a fight with a few men over a high-roller poker game. Chairs had been tossed, fists had been thrown and someone had pulled a knife. Grown men acting like damn toddlers! Hudson had been cut and banged up while keeping his client from getting hurt.
She moaned when Hudson buried his fingers into her long tresses and pulled her closer, deepening their intimacy. She might’ve started the kiss, but he quickly took over. Their tongues battled, and their pleasured moans filled the quietness of the room. It was divine ecstasy whenever he kissed her, and she gave herself freely to him as she savored their connection. Tonight, she planned to show him just how much she cherished him.
“Mmm, baby.” He slowly pulled his mouth from hers. Erica whimpered as unadulterated desire raced through her while he peppered kisses down her neck, over her shoulder…
She wanted him to take his time loving on her, but her body was on fire. She couldn’t wait to have him buried inside of her. The touch of his lips over her heated skin was too much to handle.
She sucked in a breath when he cupped the sides of her breasts and lowered his head to swipe his tongue over one of her hardened nipples. He paid the same attention to the other, and Erica withered beneath him as he sucked, tugged and teased. Her need for him spiked.
Too many times, they had to settle for quickies, or they had to be really quiet in order to not wake Nakia. But tonight, with Nakia away at camp, they could take their time loving on each other, although she didn’t want to go slow.
“Hu-Hudson,” she breathed, her trembling limbs clinging to him. “Now, baby. I need you…now.”
He gradually lifted his head. “Yeah, me, too.” He reached for the condom on the bedside table and quickly sheathed himself. “In a minute I’m going to have you screaming my name.”
Before she could respond with a smart retort, Erica gasped and arched her back as he entered her. He started slowly, easing in and out of her as if he had all the time in the world. Then he picked up the pace.
Erica held on tight, thrusting upward while meeting Hudson stroke for stroke as he pumped his hips. He went deeper and harder each time he pushed into her. Pleasure roared through her body like ocean waves crashing against boulders. They rocked in perfect sync as he picked up speed.
Erica slammed her eyes closed and groaned as the pressure swirling inside of her increased. She dug her nails into Hudson’s skin, and the back of her head thrashed against the pillow. She couldn’t hang on as she chased an orgasm that was building inside of her. With another thrust, her breath caught, and her body shook uncontrollably as her release seized her.
“Hudson!” she screamed, her body bucking beneath him.
His release was right behind her as he stiffened and his guttural growl pierced the quiet space. He collapsed on top of her. Breathing heavily, he buried his face into the crook of her neck. He lay there, but suddenly lifted up, as if remembering that all of his weight was on top of her.
Erica didn’t care. He felt so good, still buried inside of her.
“Man, that was amazing,” he panted as he rolled onto his back, pulling her to his side and holding her close.
Erica agreed and snuggled against him, despite knowing he needed to go and dispose of the condom. With her ear against his chest, the steady beat of his heart lulled her into a peace that she hadn’t felt all day.
