The Dare Collection November 2018. Christy McKellen

up,’ he said.

      He placed the ice on my tongue, then he took my glass, held it to my lips. He allowed me a small sip before setting the glass down on the tray.

      When he brought his fingers to my lips again, I shook my head. ‘It’s mine now.’

      His breathing altered a little. ‘What are you going to do with it?’

      I let my gaze drift down to his cock, and then up his body. ‘Have you ever been fucked with ice, Gideon?’

      Fervent excitement leapt in his eyes. ‘Are you offering to blow my mind, Leonora?’ he asked hoarsely.

      ‘Lie down and let’s find out,’ I instructed.

      He complied with a feline unfurling of his body.

      I settled on my knees beside him, the effect of his eager anticipation already making me wet. With languid movements, I lowered my face to his until our lips were an inch apart.

      A drop melted onto his lower lip. He licked it off with a lazy swipe of his tongue. I allowed another two drops to drip before closing the gap.

      He sucked in a sharp breath as I dragged the ice cube back and forth over his lips. Despite the blazing sun’s heat at my back I shivered at his unfettered response.

      His eyes darkened dramatically as he watched my nipples pebble, his throat moving in a convulsive swallow.

      ‘Take your shades off, Leonora, I want to see your gorgeous eyes.’

      I pushed the ice between his lips, then pulled away before his lips could cling to mine. ‘Not yet. You only get what I give you.’

      He smirked. ‘Yes, boss lady.’

      That cocky smile evaporated when I grabbed another cube of ice. By the time I trailed it down between his hard pecs to his left nipple, Gideon was panting. ‘Sweet Jesus...’

      ‘Too much?’ I asked.

      ‘Too fucking good,’ he slurred.

      Without warning, I transferred the cube to his right nipple, then lowered my head and grazed his left with my teeth. His back arched off the deck, his teeth clenching until his jaw was rigid with barely leashed control.

      Between his thighs, his cock jerked to stiff attention.

      ‘I love the way you show your pleasure,’ I murmured.

      ‘I love the way you provide it,’ he croaked.

      I returned to my task, not stopping till the ice melted.

      He was cursing and groaning by the time I grabbed the next one. A slow trail down, I dropped it on his belly button, swung my thighs over his lean hips, then retrieved the ice.

      ‘Watch me, Gideon. Don’t move.’

      With his eyes locked on mine, and the tip of his cock inches from my heated core, I dropped my head back and trailed the melting ice down my body. Electricity zapped up my spine when the chilled cube touched my nipple. My rough moan made his stomach muscles tighten.

      ‘Jesus...Leonora,’ he muttered brokenly.

      I felt my pussy dampen shamelessly, the need to fuck him a twisting live wire inside me. Still, I took my time, torturing us both with my slow, excruciating tease.

      Gideon groaned when liquid dripped from my body to his. His gaze swung feverishly from my sex to my breasts to my mouth.

      When need grew too much to contain, I slid my hand over my belly to my clit. With a sucked in breath, I pushed the die-sized cube into my pussy.

      ‘Bloody hell. Have mercy,’ he rasped, his black gaze on the finger I was using to hold the ice inside me.

      ‘Put the condom on, Gideon,’ I ordered hoarsely.

      His gaze left mine for the mere second it took to snatch up the condom, then he was ripping it open, his movements frantic as he sheathed himself.

      My impending orgasm whistled in the distance as I braced myself over him. Then with a twist of my hips, I took him deep inside me.

      His shout of pleasure was music to my ears. Muscles straining in his neck as he tried to hold himself under control made my blood sing. With my hands planted on his chest, I went to town.

      ‘Fuck, Leonora. Fuck, fuck, fuck.’

      I didn’t give him a moment to regain control, driving us both towards the edge until Gideon’s teeth clenched and he shouted his climax. Only then did I let go and surrender to my own blissful orgasm.

      Spent, I collapsed over him, sighing in pleasure when his arms immediately folded around me.

      ‘Bloody hell,’ he muttered again.

      I smiled against his heated skin. ‘I’m guessing that was your first experience with ice, too?’

      He chuckled, and then we were both laughing. ‘My first but hopefully not my last.’

      My laughter slowly died. I averted my face from his even though I had no right to let thoughts of other faceless women in Gideon’s future intrude in the moment.

      I was still telling myself that when the dart of pain expanded in my chest. When it reached the point when I couldn’t quite catch my breath.

      Relief washed over me when I heard the steady sound of Gideon’s breathing and knew he’d fallen into light sleep.

      Only then did I allow myself to glance into his face, knowing that I’d crossed a certain line that would be hard to uncross again.

      And that I only had myself to blame.
