Surrender 01 - Surrender

pelvic bone, teasing her as he circled her swollen womanhood without touching its center, without relieving the burning ache inside her.
    She knew better than to cry out, demand more from him — not until he asked her to beg. If he stopped, she’d die. Surely a person couldn’t come to the brink of so much pleasure only to be left tied to the edge. She’d rather perish than feel such a pulsing desire but be left unfulfilled.
    His mouth followed his hand as he kissed her between her breasts, then moved down her torso, slowly circling her belly button, before gently nipping the soft skin of her stomach. It was all so good, every place he touched relieved the ache for a brief moment, before the burning returned even greater than before.
    He moved further down, his lips caressing the inside of her thighs, his tongue sliding out to caress the soft skin where her legs met her core. Just a little bit further… she begged silently .
    She twisted her body, trying to lead him where she desired him most . She heard a soft groan escape his lips as she felt his warm breath caress her swollen womanhood. The sound of his pleasure heightened her very own, knowing she turned him on... he actually desired her . A shocking thrill spiraled down her spine at the thought.
    His mouth hovered over her aching heat, torturing her with his proximity, but not bending the last half inch and satisfying her. She tried raising her hips, but couldn’t as his hands were pressing her against the bed, holding her in place — his captive — right where he wanted her.
    When she was ready to give up, about to go out of her mind, he closed the gap. His hands moved inward and he parted her soft folds, his thumbs caressing her inner heat as his mouth bent down and he sealed his lips over her most sensitive area.
    She screamed out in pleasure as he sucked her into his mouth, his tongue quickly rubbing over her swollen mound. When he inserted his fingers deep inside her core at the same time as his tongue swirled over her bud, she exploded with triumph ant pleasure .
    Her body shook against his skilled mouth as he eased her down the crest of her wave. Exhaustion overtaking her body, she sagged against the bed. Her bones felt liquid, making her unable to move — unable even to breathe.
    She felt the release of his mouth, then the sensation of his body sliding up her own — the warmth of his skin searing hers . She wanted to push him away, tell him she couldn’t take any more, but her hands were still bound. She couldn’t move. She was all his for the taking.
    “You don’t think it’s over, do you? Are you a selfish lover, Ari?” Rafe asked as he settled his weight across her body and his teeth bit down on the soft lobe of her ear.
    She could feel the tip of his thick shaft pressing against her soft, wet opening. Lacking the energy to form words she simply shook her head. He slowly pushed himself inside her, one inch at a time.
    Too big!
    He was going to rip her apart. He pushed deeper and she screamed. It hurt. This wasn’t pleasurable. He was too large. They didn’t fit together.
    “Please stop. It hurts,” she cried out. He laughed as his lips claimed her mouth, silencing her. He thrust his tongue inside at the same time his arousal pushed fully inside her. Ari screamed as she sat up in bed, sweat dripping off her brow. She looked around in confusion, then gasped at the ache consuming her.
    “It was just a dream. You’re OK; it was just a dream,” she said out loud . Even her words couldn’t calm her. What was that? Why was she fantasizing about Rafe? She didn’t want him. She didn’t. She had no business having an erotic dream about the man.
    It had to be from their meeting earlier that day. She’d felt like a deer in headlights as he waited for her answer. Ari was still shaking from the strength it had taken for her to stand and walk from that room.
    When he’d leaned over her, his mouth nearing hers, she’d almost arched her back, moved her body closer to him. She was finding his raw power to be an aphrodisiac. His seduction was hard to resist.
    She had a great job; she had a few days to find help for her mom. It would be much easier for her to shun Rafe Palazzo if he weren’t so magnetic. Her body seemed to be drawn to him, and she just couldn’t allow that.
    Still unable to calm her beating heart, Ari stood and walked into her small bathroom. Flipping on the light, she looked at her flushed complexion in the mirror. She was
