Safe From the Dark by Lily Rede Page B

were watching. All it took was one hot,
wet lick and her rational brain went away, along with any inhibitions that
would prevent her from accepting any and all sexual pleasure he wanted to give
her. Evie didn’t like it, not one bit. She was independent, she was in control,
she was –
    Oh
God, right there.
    His
tongue did something to her clit that had her crying out, arching her pussy
into his mouth. Colin chuckled, infuriating man , and did it again, this
time sliding two long fingers into her sheath in a move so carnal she
whimpered.
    “That’s
right, baby,” he crooned against the pad of her pussy, “Give me everything. Mmm…tight
and wet.”
    He
expertly finger-fucked her until she was writhing for him, unable to hold back
the little sounds that were shocking to her ears, but that he seemed to enjoy
as he nibbled gently on her engorged clit. He pulled his digits out, only to
replace them with his tongue. A hot, mind-blowing lash of his tongue at her
core made good on his promise, and then he closed his mouth over her, using the
pad of one slick forefinger to rub diabolical circles into her hungry clit
while he sucked and thrust with delicate precision.
    Evie
didn’t want to think about how he got to be so good with his mouth, but
all that practice paid off because one second she was straining against him,
sure she couldn’t stand it one moment longer, and the next, all that lovely
tension burst and she was melting over him like oozing honey, a sharp cry of
surprise pulled from her throat.
    You
never came like that for Jack , she noted.
    Evie
was too replete to let the realization do more than drift through her
consciousness, and besides, Colin was still between her thighs, gently lapping
as her tremors subsided.
    “Next
time, I’m going to feel this sweet pussy come apart around my cock.”
    The
jolt of pleasure at the rough words had her hips jerking involuntarily. He
chuckled softly and placed a gentle kiss at the very top of her cleft, and then
rested his cheek against her abdomen while her racing heart finally started to
calm. The rasp of stubble from his jaw on her tender flesh sent a new wave of
shivers through her body.
    Evie
leaned back against the porch swing and hesitantly stroked Colin’s cheek as he
propped his chin on her belly, his hazel eyes nearly glowing with heat and
arousal and male satisfaction at her response to him.
    “Do
you want to come in?” she whispered, knowing that despite their intensely
erotic interlude out here on the porch, the invitation represented a much
bigger step, and the beginnings of trust. She squashed the nerves and worries
about the future and focused on what she wanted in the moment – Colin’s big
naked body moving against her, driving her to peak again and again with his
hands and mouth and cock. She licked her lips, waiting for his answer.
    It
never came, because at that moment, the porch light exploded above them in
a shower of sparks and glass.
    “Down!”
    Evie
reacted without thinking, tackling Colin to the ground and dragging him under
the relative cover of the swing. She yanked up her jeans and hastily buttoned
her shirt.
    “Are
you hurt?” she demanded, running her hands over him, checking for wounds.
    “I’m
fine. Is someone shooting at us?” He sounded shocked.
    CRACK!
    Another
shot rang out, and splinters of wood rained down on their heads. Evie scrambled
up, fumbling for her weapon on the railing, but Colin yanked her back down.
    “What
the hell do you think you’re doing?”
    “I’ve
already been shot twice this year, I’m not going to let it happen again! Do
something useful and call for help!”
    Ignoring
his grasping hands, she pushed to her hands and knees as the gunfire continued,
destroying one of Gram’s planters, followed by one of the front windows.
    CRACK!
CRACK!
    The
shooter had made a mistake in taking out the light, and Evie took advantage of
the darkness to find her weapon, getting it out and up in a matter of seconds
to
