Zoey (I Dare You Book 2) Read online

Page 5


  “She is beautiful, and seems to be nice, but I’m not going to jump into anything. I love that you and Heidi care enough to make me happy, and I certainly have no plans to go anywhere. Ideally, the woman I end up with needs to be open and spirited like Heidi. Hell, I wish there were two of her, but I’m willing to see where this goes. There’s no doubt Heidi likes her, and I can’t deny that I’d like to see Ms. Zoey naked some more and writhing for me, so what the hell.”

  “Thatta boy.” Nathan smiled. “I’m a lucky man. I can’t deny it. I love Heidi so much it hurts, and I’m glad we’ve found you. We do want you to be happy, Rafe. We want you in our lives for the long haul. I’m rooting for you, man, and Zoey is a beautiful woman. It certainly wouldn’t be a chore having her in our bed again or our lives, so good luck.”

  “We’ll see.” Rafe cleared his throat and stood as the ladies approached with the food. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

  “No thanks.” Heidi smiled as she set the food on the table and then took her place beside Nathan, which left Zoey the spot next to Rafe. “We’re good. Dig in.”

  Rafe nodded and sat again as everyone began to eat. There was no pressure, and Zoey looked more comfortable around them as the night progressed. They laughed, talked, drank wine, and even flirted a little. Heidi couldn’t be more pleased. Her plan was now in action, so far so good, and as the hours passed, it was time for a little push.

  They all sat on the couch cozy by the fireplace. She was nestled in Nathan’s embrace, feeling content, and stretched with an exaggerated yawn. “Nathan, honey, I think it’s time the two of us headed to bed.” She stood and reached her hand out for him to follow.

  “Good idea.” He chuckled, shaking his head. “You, me, and a bed. How can I refuse?” He winked at Rafe, who smiled at them.

  Once Nathan stood, Heidi bent over to quickly kiss first Zoey and then Rafe goodnight. “Sweet dreams, you two.”

  “I’m sorry.” Zoey sighed and shook her head. “It’s getting late, isn’t it? Maybe I should get going too.” She stood to leave but stopped as Rafe’s hand halted her movement.

  “Please stay. I’m enjoying your company.”

  “Me too.” She smiled as she sat down beside him again. “But it would be so much easier if I wasn’t so nervous.”

  “Why are you nervous?” Rafe reached out to gently caress the side of her face. He couldn’t help himself. She was beautiful, and as the night went on, he found that he liked having her around. She was one of them; he could see that clearly now. Not only did she have a great relationship with Heidi, she laughed, joked, and fit in so nicely with them. He wanted to learn more about her, and he began to think maybe he had lucked out. She was clearly something special, and it intrigued him enough to want to get to know her better.

  “Okay, I’m just going to blurt this out before I lose my nerve, so here goes.” She lifted her gaze to his, blue eyes meeting his dark ones with uncertainty. “Heidi and I have been friends since I can remember, and when she married Nathan, I couldn’t have been more thrilled for her, and then there is you. They both care about you so much, and I think what you have is great, but Heidi told me about you wanting to find your someone spicy, and I think she wants that someone to be me. How can I not be nervous when truthfully I’m not sure if you’re even interested? I’m very attracted to you and definitely not a virgin as you very well know, but I’m also wary.”

  “I already figured out Heidi’s plans pretty much as soon as we walked in.” He chuckled. “Gotta love her, though. She’s got spectacular taste, especially in women.” He winked, allowing his fingers to linger against her skin as his thumb stroked her cheek. “But it’s my time to be honest. I can’t deny that I’m no virgin either, as you put it, and I have a lot of experience. I love sex, Zoey. I always have and I forever will. There is nothing more satisfying than bringing the one you choose to be with such an intimate pleasure and knowing it was you who gave them that sort of ecstasy, but I’m also ready to settle down. Heidi and Nathan have taught me so much, and I envy the love that they share. You should also know that I love them both, and I’m not willing to leave what we have for the time being, and honestly if ever. They make me happy, and I’m hoping to find someone who will learn to love me for me, kinkiness and all, because Nathan, Heidi, and I are a package deal.”

  “I understand,” she whispered, and he nearly groaned as she zeroed in on his lips with her gaze.

  “Good, because I need you to,” he said in a low tone. “And it should also be said that I’m very interested. You’re beautiful, Zoey. You’re kind, loving, and witty, and I love how well we all get along. You’re already one of us, honey, and I’d like to get to know you. What do you say? You want to give it a try?”

  “I’m pretty sure that I do.” She smiled, and he closed the distance between them.

  Her lips were just too delectable, and he had to have a taste right then. Her breath against his mouth made him moan. Their soft, plump lips pressed against each other, and he was already addicted, needing more. He moved his body as close as he could get. Her firm breasts teased him as they pressed against his chest, and it felt amazing to have her in his arms. She moaned with him, seeming just as eager as he was. His tongue coaxed her lips open to meet with hers, the wet, silky glide of them touching while he made love to her mouth with his own.

  They were both panting by the time the kiss slowed down.

  “Damn, Rafe, I want you so bad right now. I can’t stop thinking about the ecstasy you spoke about a few minutes ago. Is that bad? Because I’ve never wanted to fuck someone so quickly before. Oh God, Nathan and Heidi are upstairs and—” She flopped backwards on the couch and covered her blushing face with her hands. “I should just go.”

  “Don’t be silly.” Rafe moved off the couch and knelt in front of her. “I’d love to bring you bliss, honey. Do you want Heidi and Nathan to join us?”

  “No, not tonight.” she said it so low he almost missed it. “I know you’re a package deal, but I want you, only you, at the moment. Heidi is such a good friend, and I need to go slow with them. It terrifies me to think this may not work out and I could end up losing what we already have, not just with you, but with her as well.”

  “I understand, and I certainly don’t mind keeping you all to myself for a while.” He smiled. “Will you stay so I can love you properly?” He wiggled his eyebrows.

  “I can’t wait.” She smirked.

  “Good.” He stood and lifted her off the couch into his arms. “I’d make love to you anywhere, but something tells me that you’d be more comfortable with a little more privacy right now. Let’s go christen the spare room down the hall, shall we?”

  “Let’s.” Her eye’s glistened with delight as she snuggled closer, and he knew right then that he was already hooked.

  He kicked the door shut behind them as he carried her inside the bedroom. She was still a bit skittish so he planned to take things slow. He wanted to take his time. Or so he’d planned, until she began to squirm, slid down his body as he released her, and pushed him against the wall with need. Her kiss was almost frantic, and it made him want to puff up his chest with pride. She wanted him bad, and he loved it.

  “Damn, Zoey, you’re driving me crazy.” He flipped her around so that she was against the wall, and he pressed against her. “I want you.” He grunted. “Clothes off.” He fingered her collar before stepping back to unbutton his own shirt.

  They were both glued to their respective seductive displays as article after article of clothing was kicked away until they stood in nothing but their undergarments. His erection was barely covered as it peeked out at the top of his boxer briefs, and it left nothing to the imagination. He smiled once again as he noticed her gaze linger on his cock.

  “You’re beautiful.” She licked her lips, and he closed the distance between them again on a growl.

  “So are you. So beautiful, in fact, that you’ve made me hungry. I need to taste
you, Zoey, before I bury my cock inside you. God, I can’t wait for that.”

  “Please, Rafe.” Zoey leaned her head against the wall to give him better access as he kissed along her jawline and slowly moved his lips up to her earlobe. His tongue caressed it, and his teeth nipped at it before his lips closed around it to suck.

  One hand pressed against the wall beside her head as the other worked its way down her torso to her underwear, sliding inside. His fingers found her slick folds, and he stroked them back and forth. “Please, Rafe, please—”

  “Please what, honey?” His mouth worked its way back towards hers again for a kiss. “Say it, Zoey. Tell me what you’re begging for.” He removed his fingers from her pussy, and it made her whimper. He pushed against her and flexed his hips, the tip of his cock aligned directly with her clit through the thin fabric with just the right amount of friction; he could tell by her reaction. She was so responsive.

  “Yes,” she hissed. “Make me come, Rafe. I want you to taste me. I want you to taste me, and then I want to feel you inside me.” She stroked his cock, and this time it was his turn to pant. He had to halt her movements by placing one of his hands on top of hers.

  “I’m cocked and loaded here. If you keep doing that, I’ll be finished before we get started.”

  “Really?” She chuckled, and the sound of it came out deep and throaty, and damn, he thought it was sexy.

  “Really,” he repeated, and removed her hand from his crotch. He bound her wrists together and held them above her head. He cupped her breast with his free hand. After tweaking her nipple through the lace, he unclipped the front fastening of her bra. “Now for dessert. I bet you taste as good as you look.”

  His mouth lowered to taste the perky mounds in front of him. The tip of his tongue played with her erect nipples, teasing her, and in no time she began to writhe again. Enough was enough, though, because he was now starving for more of a taste. He let go of her wrists and fell to his knees. “You’re intoxicating,” he whispered, and leaned forward to breathe her in.

  She was speechless. Threading her fingers through his hair, she encouraged him to continue. His fingers sought her panty line and hooked the sides to slide them off. Zoey eagerly stepped out of them and pushed her hips forward. “Please, Rafe. Just put your mouth on me.”

  “Gladly, honey.” He smiled, replete with male satisfaction, and then licked her like an ice-cream cone from puckered hole to clit. A man on a mission; his tongue licked, flicked, and fucked her opening repeatedly with enthusiasm. He was enjoying himself way too much and moaned with satisfaction again as she tugged on his hair to guide him to the spot she needed him most.

  “Right there, Rafe. Oh God, right there, baby. Don’t stop—”

  He smiled against her silkiness. She tasted amazing, and her reaction made it so much more exciting. She was clearly a woman who knew how to take her pleasure. A little shy at first, but once ignited became a little hell cat demanding her release, and he aimed to please. “That’s right, baby. Come for me,” he whispered. The tip of his tongue applied just the right pressure to her clit before his lips closed in to suck. He could feel her juices slide down his chin and knew she was close. Her legs began to buckle, and he had to grip her hips to keep her from falling forward.

  She moaned again, and her grip against his head got tighter. She pushed her hips forward trying to get as close to his face as she could, and then she finally cried out. That’s right, baby. So fucking good. He wanted to lick every last drop and did until her convulsions subsided.

  “Holy shit,” Zoey whispered. “That was amazing.”

  “It was.” Rafe got up from the floor. He was so turned on right then, his cock demanding its own satisfaction. “Now it’s my turn.”

  “Definitely.” Zoey licked her lips and went to her knees in front of him. She wasted no time ridding him of his underwear and immediately put him in her mouth. Her tongue moved against the base of his shaft and up to his tip in motion with her bobbing head.

  Oh fuck. “Damn, Zoey, I’m not going to last. Wouldn’t you rather have my cock filling your pussy?”

  “Why not both?” She went back to licking around his cockhead, lingering on the sensitive slit.

  Shit, yeah! “There’s plenty of time for that. Right now, I want to fill you.”

  “Fine.” She kissed his tip and then stood.

  “Come here.” Rafe picked her up and gently laid her on the bed while he fetched a condom. It didn’t take long before he was crawling on top of her and spreading her wide. He slid in with one smooth stroke right to the hilt. “Shit, you feel good, Zoey. You’re warm, wet, and so tight around me.” He clenched his jaw, concentrating hard on holding himself back.

  “You feel good too.”

  He kissed her to show his appreciation. Soon her thrusts met his, matching him, and he needed to feel her pulse before he let go and gave into his own release. He needed to make it good. “I’m close, baby, and I need to feel you come again before I do.”

  “Fuck yes!” She writhed.

  “Move with me.” He said sliding them down to the edge of the bed so he could stand and watch. She lay spread, her ankles resting on his shoulders. Holding her there, he watched his cock slide in and out of her, thick with her juices. “Touch yourself.”

  Shaky feminine hands slid up her stomach to her large breasts, and her nipples puckered instantly at the contact. She tweaked them between her thumb and forefinger and tugged a little. “You make me feel beautiful when you look at me like that.”

  “That’s because you are.” Rafe thrust harder to make her tits jiggle while she played.

  “How about when I do this?” she teased, looking a whole lot more confident, and it shocked him in the best way as she lifted her head to get closer to her breasts, her pink tongue circled her own nipple, and she put on a show tasting herself for him.

  “Fuck yeah.” He groaned. “Keep going, baby, and it’ll be even better while I do this.” He reached down to rub her clit, and she erupted.

  “Rafe, oh God, yes Rafe, yessss…”

  Her convulsions pulled him in deeper. He was balls deep and thrust into her harder. Ripple after ripple of silky wet heat enveloped him, and he was a goner. Moving inside her once, then twice more, his cock jerked while he spilled his seed, filling the condom inside of her. He cried out his own bliss and collapsed on top of her to catch his breath.

  “You’re amazing,” she said, stroking his hair. “That was absolutely incredible.”

  “It was.” He smiled and gave her a quick kiss. “Get comfortable. I’ll be right back.” He ran bare-assed to the bathroom to discard the used condom and then ran right back to pull her into his arms.

  “I should probably go, but I’m too comfortable to move right now,” she confessed, cuddling closer.

  “Good, because I’m hoping you’ll stay. It’s late. Let’s get a little sleep and then we can play some more.”

  “Mmm, I like the way you think.”

  “You’re precious.” Rafe kissed the top of her head. “Now hush up and get some sleep.”

  He wrapped his arms around her. Content in the moment and completely satisfied, it didn’t take long to let sleep take over.

  Chapter Four

  “You’re brilliant, you know that?” Nathan said, and Heidi squealed when he whisked her into his arms and began to walk her backward towards the bed.

  “Am I?” she asked teasingly, reaching up to put her arms around his neck. “Whatever are you talking about?”

  “Zoey and Rafe, of course.” Nathan chuckled. “They’re actually perfect for each other. Are you sure you’re okay with it, though?”

  “Of course I am.” Heidi sighed as she stepped away and began to pace. “You said it yourself, they’ll be great together, and we want Rafe happy even if it means he won’t be around as much for a while. I understand that in order for him to find that someone special, he’s got to concentrate on that person. If it’s gotta be anyone, I hope it’s Zoey.
I love her too. She’s been my friend for ages, she’s trustworthy, beautiful, and would never do anything to hurt any of us. Besides, I’m happy as long as I have you by my side. You’re my husband, my life, and the one that completes me in every way. You’re the love of my life.”

  “Well, that’s always good to hear.” He smiled and reached his hand out to halt her pacing. “I love you too.” He tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear and leaned forward to taste her. His teeth nipped at her earlobe. He breathed her in. “Try not to worry, love. Rafe knows your plans, and he seemed quite interested in Zoey too. I’m sure he’s down there working his own magic. She’ll be putty in his hands.”

  “You think so?” Heidi asked, breathless thanks to his amazing mouth. Nathan was a God when it came to seduction, and he knew all her sweet spots. It was hard not to get distracted. She leaned her head to the side to give him better access. “God, I love when your lips are on me.”

  “I love it too.” He smiled against her. “I love everything about you, and everything I’m about to do to you.”

  “Oh, Nathan, take me now.” She flopped backward on the bed and bounced. She raised the hem of her nightshirt, and then she shimmied out of her thong and spread for him.

  “What a view.” Nathan stripped bare and climbed on top of her. “I can make love to you all night and day and still not get enough. You’ve completely ruined me for everyone else. You know that?”

  They both moaned the moment his cock reached her pussy and he entered her. She arched towards him and pressed her chest closer to his touch. It was so fucking good. He took advantage of the moment and teased her nipples with his mouth.

  “I love you, Nathan. Oh God, I love you so much.”

  “Speaking of magic…” he whispered against her skin, and it gave her goose bumps. “There is no greater power over me than the woman I’m making love to right now. You’ve bewitched me, love, and I thank God for you every day.”
