Stormy Weather Read online

  “I realized how much I loved feeling your mouth against mine and it scared me a little…no, a lot. You just were too much for me too fast and I panicked. That’s why I sent you away. My rejection of you wasn’t entirely about your job, but how you made me feel.”

  “I know,” Cash said, shocking her.

  “How did you know?”

  “Rachelle, I could see in your eyes how much you were drawn to me, and fighting it in the same breath. I felt like if I kept pushing you, it would only send you further and further away from me. I couldn’t let you go, so I left hoping you would come to your senses.”

  Pulling her against his chest, he planted a tantalizing kiss in the hollow of her neck. “Sweetheart, I love you,” he whispered against her skin. “Don’t over think what we feel for each other, just accept it like I have. I won’t ever find another woman who makes me feel the way you do.”

  She placed her hands on Cash’s chest and eased her body back from his. Tilting her head back, she stared up into his face. Standing on her tiptoes, Rachelle kissed him, savoring every moment. His lips were warm and sweet on hers. It was a kiss that left her weak in the knees.

  “Cash, I love you, too. Please make love to me. I can’t pretend I don’t want you any longer.”

  Placing his hands on her waist, Cash eased her closer to him until not an inch separated their bodies. His clear gray eyes caught and held hers for a whole two minutes before he spoke to her.

  “I want you to know that if you want to stop anytime during this that you can, and I won’t get upset with you. Despite the fact, I find you totally irresistible and can’t wait to make love to you. I don’t want to force you into anything you aren’t ready for. We can move as slowly as you want. All of this is so new for both of us. Just know how much I care about you and want you in my life.”

  “I’m more than ready for this,” Rachelle said. She proved her point by tugging Cash’s t-shirt over his head and running her hands over his well-defined chest.

  “Do you know that you’re playing with fire?” Cash placed his large hand over her smaller ones, stopping their movements.

  “Today I’m going to live dangerously, so I’m ready to play with you any way I can,” she whispered.

  For a moment he studied her intently, like he was trying to make sure she knew what she was telling him. Slowly his eyes drew a darker shade of gray and she was enthralled by what she saw.

  “Baby, I promise that I’ll let you play with me as much as you want to,” Cash answered right before he kissed her.

  Rachelle’s body was shattered by the hunger of Cash’s kisses and she gave herself freely to the passion. She wrapped her arms around his neck and slowly opened her mouth to allow his tongue’s entrance. She had never been so captivated by a single kiss in her whole entire life.

  “You taste so unbelievable,” Cash moaned as his lips brushed against hers.

  “Thank you. I like the way you taste, too,” she whispered, running her fingers through his thick hair.

  His lips left hers to nibble at her earlobe while rubbing his hands over her back, slowly pulled her shirt out of her skirt. Easing his hands under her skirt, Cash cupped her ass and yanked her against his chest.

  The feel of her erection against her stomach made the blood pound in her head. Her heart kicked up another notch and all of that made her knees tremble with the need to be with the man touching her body.

  “I need to get you out of these clothes so I can see this beautiful body. Moving back, Cash quickly got her out of the white shirt she was wearing, tossing it behind him on the floor.

  “I have never seen a more perfect sight.” Cupping her breasts in the palm of his hands, he ran his thumbs over her nipples, making them harder.

  The bra she was wearing didn’t hide how much she wanted Cash’s mouth on her nipples. She had been fantasizing about this for over a month, and now it was about to happen. A rush of moisture soaked her panties as Cash dropped his head and ran his tongue over her left nipple before drawing it entirely into his waiting mouth.

  His hands explored the hollows of her back as his teeth bit at the hard peak of her nipple before sucking away the stinging pain. The sensation of being in Cash’s arms was better than anything her inner thoughts could have come up with. His breath was warm and moist against her skin, making her clench her thighs so her juices wouldn’t run down her legs.

  Rachelle couldn’t move as Cash’s hands grabbed the hem of her skirt and shoved it up as far as it would go. Long fingers massaged her ass before moving to the edge of panties, easing underneath them and then inside of her pussy. Her body quickly sucked at Cash’s warm finger, drawing it deeper inside her wetness.

  The mere touch of him against her made her skin tingle, showing her how long it has been since she had been with a man. She had no desire to back out of his embrace. Hell, she wanted it to go on forever if she had any say. Cash was making her wild and he wasn’t even naked yet. She could only imagine what was going to happen once they got into bed.

  Running her fingers through his thick hair, Rachelle held Cash’s head closer to her breast as she worked her hips keeping up the tempo his magical fingers. She was going insane and it was all his fault. She needed…something so bad and he was toying with her like a cat would do with a ball of string.

  “Please,” she whimpered, not caring how desperate she sounded to her own ears.

  Cash’s talented mouth let go of her left breasts with a loud pop before he gave the right one a couple of good licks making her even crazier for him.

  “What do you want, baby?” he whispered, slowing the pace of his fingers that still fit snugly inside of her.

  “I need…” Hell, she didn’t want to tell him. He should know what she wanted without the words.

  “Do you want me to love you like I’ve been thinking while I was alone in my bed at night? Can I strip you naked and thrust my cock deep inside your tight pussy until both of us forget our names?”

  “Yes!” Rachelle screamed then moaned softly.

  “Darling, your wish is my command.” Taking his wonderful fingers out of her wetness, Cash quickly stripped her out the rest of her clothes until she was standing naked before him, only wearing her black high heels.

  The gleam of interest in his desired-filled eyes excited her more than any well-spoken words. It showed her Cash was totally into her and no one else. Seeing him like this made her standing naked in front of him not so bad, but she didn’t know how much longer she could do it.

  She was dying to feel Cash’s warm, naked body on top of her as they made love for hours. Just the way he was standing in front of her clothed, his stance emphasized the force of his powerful thighs and the slimness of his hips. She wouldn’t describe Cash as having a swimmer’s body because he had too much muscle for that, but she thought of it as a body she wanted to get to know very well before the day was over.

  “How about I help you get out of your clothes?” Closing the small distance between them, she grabbed Cash’s shorts and shoved them down his muscular thighs, watching as his thick cock sprung free. She ran her tongue across her bottom lip as the tempting sight.

  God, he was so long and hard. Her pussy ached for him to be inside of her, she reached out to touch him until Cash placed his hand on top of hers.

  “Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” he asked, looking down at her with his gorgeous eyes.

  “You better believe that I do,” she said, shaking off his touch. “Let me touch you.”

  “He touched her hand again, moving it away from him. “No, I better do this because if you touch me I promise you things will be over a lot faster than either one of us will want.” Stepping back from her, Cash kicked his shorts away and then he was standing in all his naked glory before her.

  Chapter Nineteen

  Rachelle could only stare at the hunk positioned not ten feet from her body. She wasn’t a virgin. She had seen a naked man before, but Cash was in a totally different lea
gue than any of them. His body looked like a picture of perfection. Any artist would be dying to capture Cash’s image on a canvas for people to pay good money to see on display in a museum.

  He stood there looking beyond handsome with his wide shoulders and his powerful chest with a fine dusting of dark brown hair. Even his thick arms with their silky hairs were turning her on. As her eyes traveled down she couldn’t drag her gaze away from his erection.

  Double damn!!!

  She knew that it had been a while since she had been with a man, but Cash’s cock was just plain beautiful.

  It was long, thick, curved against the muscles of his stomach and was the same tanned color as the rest of his breathtaking body. She was having a hard time believing that this tall, handsome man with his beautifully proportioned body was all hers for as long as she wanted him. She wasn’t going to let tomorrow and what may come up even enter her mind. All she could think about now was getting that amazing cock deep inside of her.

  “Should I be pleased or nervous that you can’t seem to draw your eyes away from me?” Cash asked, drawing her attention back up to his face.

  “You have nothing to be nervous about. I’m very impressed.”

  “Good, I’m glad you are. Now let me impress with you with something else.”

  Rachelle didn’t have time for a comeback before Cash picked her up in his arms and carried her down the hallway into his bedroom.

  Placing her in the middle of his king-sized bed, he gently pulled at her hips until they were up close to the edge of the bed. He dropped to his knees in the front of her and opened her legs as wide as they would go.

  “You smell so good,” he whispered as his finger brushed at her wet curls. “I can’t wait until I taste you.” Leaning into her, Cash ran his tongue along the inside of her right thigh several times before he made his way to her pussy. He slowly moved his tongue around until he found her most sensitive spot.

  “Ooh, that feels so….” Rachelle purred as she fell back against the mattress and all sorts wonderful sensations took over her body. Cash was making her wild for him and she loved every single minute of it.

  ****

  Cash couldn’t get enough of how incredible Rachelle tasted. She was richer and sweeter than any candy that had ever been in his mouth. He loved how she was running her fingers through his hair as his tongue hit all of her spots. He liked how she wasn’t trying to brush his hands away as he held her down so he could get better access to her delicious cream.

  He had never craved to bring a woman to the peak of pleasure as he did with Rachelle right at this moment. Taking the tip of his tongue, he gently glided back and forth over her and listened as the moaning got louder as he went deeper inside of her.

  Speeding up his movements, he made them a little firmer and quicker as he felt her legs tighten beneath his fingers. He knew her orgasms was fast approaching, but he wanted his cock buried deep inside of her wet, tight pussy when she came, not his tongue.

  He eased his tongue out of her body despite the sounds of protest coming from her full lips. “It’s okay, baby. I’m still going to make you feel so good, I promise.” Sitting down on the bed, he lifted Rachelle above his aching cock and took her in one powerful thrust.

  Bending his legs a little more, he planted his feet firmly on the floor so Rachelle could benefit more from the deep penetration of his cock. Her eyes locked with his as all of his nine-inch length buried itself inside of her welcoming heat. Cash slid his fingers through her hair and brought her head down for a long, slow kiss while he pumped into her as his free hand held onto her hips.

  Rachelle tore her mouth away from his and she grabbed his shoulders as her hips moved up and down to meet every one of his thrusts. “God…it has never….felt good,” she panted as she bounced on his cock.

  “I know. I agree, baby,” he growled, sucking one of her hard nipples into his mouth.

  God, he wasn’t going to last much longer. Dreaming about being with her like this already had him at the edge. Now that it was happening, it was too much for his body and mind to handle.

  “Baby, we need to slow down or I’m not going to last.” Cash tried to control the movement of Rachelle’s hips, but she pushed at his shoulders...

  “No, I need this…I want this…it has been so long,” she groaned harshly right before she threw her head back, screaming as her orgasm raked through her body.

  The beautiful sight of Rachelle achieving her release because of him made Cash grip her waist even tighter and thrust into her one…two...three more times until his orgasm took him over and his guttural scream echoed in his bedroom seconds after hers.

  Cash came back to reality little by little and he held Rachelle to his chest as his heart rate slowly returned back to normal. He had never been with a woman that made his feel like this. He wasn’t about to give Rachelle up for anything in the world now, but he was worried about how she felt.

  Did she just think this was all he wanted from her, or could she possibly see them having something deeper and more meaningful? A small part of him was afraid to find out. She had come all of this way to see him and even confessed her love to him, but was she ready for the same commitment as him?

  Chapter Twenty

  Stretching on the bed, Rachelle relished the soreness in her body that she hadn’t felt in over two years. Cash had really worked her body out and she loved….loved every single minute of it. Lord, he must be an illusionist or something because he worked some powerful magic on her entire body, mind, and soul.

  She knew without opening her eyes that Cash wasn’t in bed next to her. Because his strong arms weren’t wrapped around her to keep her warm and safe, she missed the calming effect he had on her body.

  Rachelle couldn’t see her life now without Cash being a huge part of it. She loved him so much and hoped to prove it each and every day. Why did she waste so much time not going with her heart instead of her head?

  Lord, her mama would lecture her from here to next Sunday about falling in love with a man so quickly, but this was her life and she knew what she was doing. The love she felt for Cash only came around once in a lifetime and she wasn’t about to miss out on it for anyone, not even her family.

  Sighing, Rachelle snuggled deeper underneath the covers. She was thinking about getting out of bed and looking for Cash when the sound of the bedroom door opening drew her attention.

  “Good morning, sleepyhead,” Cash grinned as he came through the door fully dressed, carrying a breakfast tray filled with delicious smelling food.

  “What are you doing?” she asked, grinning at Cash wearing a “Kiss the Cook” apron. She stretched her legs out in front of her and pulled the covers over her waist. She was surprised to see he had cooked her breakfast in bed. It was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for her in a very long time. If he wanted to win her heart over more, he just did it.

  “I wanted to treat the most beautiful woman in the world to one of my famous breakfasts,” he said, sitting the tray over her hips. “I hope you don’t mind.”

  Rachelle knew that she should have thought what Cash was saying was corny as hell, but she loved it. He was making her feel so loved and cherished. It had been so long since a man had made her feel special like this.

  She was usually the one showing all of the attention to the guys and that why she decided to stop dating for a while. He hadn’t been in her life for that long, but Cash already showed her was true love felt like.

  “Do you like everything that I fixed? I wasn’t sure what your favorites were, so I cooked a little bit of everything.” Cash said, waving his hand toward the mounds of food that overflowed on her plate.

  Rachelle’s mouth watered at the sight of French toast, scrambled eggs, and sausage. She didn’t know where to dig in first. She even noticed that Cash brought her some orange juice and a cup of coffee.

  Whoa! Wait a minute!

  Now, there we only a few people in the world who knew how she liked her coffee to
taste, so that was the first thing she was going to sample. She had to make sure that Cash knew how to fix a perfect cup of coffee.

  “I should warn you that I’m very picky when it comes to my coffee. I just don’t drink it any kind of way. It has to have the right amount of cream and sugar in it to make it wonderful.” She blew on it a couple of times, wanting to cool it down before she took a sip.

  “I think my cup will be a winner when it comes to your coffee, Ms. Williams,” he bragged and then gave her a quick kiss on the mouth.

  Rachelle arched an eyebrow before she took a sip and then looked at Cash with shocked eyes. It tasted perfect! How in the world did he know that she liked a dash of cream and two sugars in her coffee? Usually most people fixed it too strong for her, but this was delicious.

  “It’s just the way I like it,” she replied still surprised by the fact as she placed the cup back on the tray.

  “I told you not to be surprised.” Cash grinned at her. “I know what my woman likes. Now dig into your food. I don’t want it to get cold.”

  Rachelle picked up a forkful of eggs, shoving them into her mouth. She moaned at the hint of garlic that she tasted on them.

  Next, she cut through a slice of French toast and took a good bite. She almost died from pleasure when it practically melted on her tongue. Lord, if Cash kept cooking for her like this she was going to be in a whole lot of trouble. This guy really knew his way around a well-stocked kitchen.

  “Where did you learn how to cook like this?” she asked, before eating another bite of French toast. She couldn’t get enough of it.

  “My mother taught me and my brother at a young age how to cook. She was training to be a personal chef when she got pregnant with me and had to quit culinary school. She was planning to go back after I got older, but she had my brother and got married, so it never happened.
