Chapter 38

Zach laughed, a warm sound that rolled over her like honey. "You can never be too bold for me, sugar pie. The bolder the better, okay?"
"Okay."
"Let's untangle ourselves for a minute here while I pour us some more wine. Then I have something I want to say to you."
Maddie couldn't help but admire the excellent lines of his body as he rolled to his feet. The hard muscles outlined by the firelight, the flat stomach, the narrow waist and tight buttocks. Just looking at him every one of her pulses leaped to life.
He handed her the wine goblet, then eased himself back down on the pillows. Outside the wind raged like a demon and they could hear the sleet pelting the house.
"Damn!" Maddie put her wine down and leaped to her feet. "I need to make sure my sisters are okay. What if they're stuck out in this somewhere?"
Zach reached up to take her hand. "Didn't you tell me Lisa went to Ty's? And that Jenna had hooked up with Mitch?"
"Yes but - "
At that moment the telephone rang and she snatched it up from the coffee table.
"Jenna?" she breathed a sigh of relief to hear her younger sister's voice. "Thank God. I was getting worried about you."
"I'm fine," Jenna assured her. "Safe and dry. I'll call you - "
The connection cut out, voice replaced by static. Damn the weather, Maddie thought.
"She's with Mitch, right?" Zach asked.
"I guess. She sounded...giddy."
"Giddy is a good thing, darlin'."
"Let me just call Ty's house and then I can relax."
But she got halfway through that conversation, assured by Ty that Liza was safe and sound, when the phone cut out altogether. And then the lights flickered and went out.
"The power's out," she said, stating the obvious
"Not for long."
And he was right. In seconds the lights flickered and came back on. And Maddie remembered the backup generator.
"Thank goodness for cattle and horses," she laughed. "Otherwise we'd be spending the rest of the night in the dark."
Zach reached out to her thighs and tumbled her back down on top of him. "Not such a bad idea, you know. Firelight's all we need, although I do love to roam my eyes over your gorgeous body." A wicked light flashed in his eyes. "Of course, the touch system seems to work out well too."
He rolled her onto her back and cupped one breast, lowering his mouth to it and licking the hard, swollen nipple.
"As soon as this weather lets up, I plan to drive into the city and buy you a set of nipple clamps. These hard buds need to be plumped and squeezed. And oh lordy, what a pleasure it will be to nip and kiss them when I tighten those little gold bars around them and they swell up for me." He looked down at her. "Have you ever used them before?"
She felt heat creep up her cheeks. "No. I... But I want to, okay?"
"Do you trust me to take good care of you, Maddie?"
"Oh, yes." That she knew for sure. "And I want to do everything with you, Zach. Everything."
"I could make love to you all night," he told her. "Every night."
He moved his mouth over her, tasting here, licking there, his big hands squeezing her breasts with a steady motion. The warmth from them coursed through her system. When his mouth moved down her body she opened her legs for him, wanting the feel of his lips and his tongue on her.
He moved his hands down to open her labia, peeling them back like the petals of a flower.
"You're so wet." His words hummed against her. "So deliciously wet."
Holding the mouth of her vagina open, he slid two fingers inside and moved them in a steady rhythm, his knuckles rubbing against the slick walls, the heel of one hand pressing against her clit. Showers of sensation coursed through her, lighting up every nerve, her pulses pounding harder and harder.
Maddie closed her eyes and gave herself up to the feeling, the walls of her cunt gripping Zach's fingers and the coil so tight inside her beginning to unwind.
"I want you," she moaned. "I want your cock inside me. Please."
"Inside you where?" he asked, his voice husky. "Tell me, Maddie."
His previous words washed over her and she realized what it meant. Was it possible for someone to blush over their entire body?
"Tell me," he persisted in a gentle voice while his fingers worked her slick sheath and the heel of his hand continued to abrade her clit.
"Fuck me." She barely recognized her own voice. All she could concentrate on was the feeling growing inside her, a rising tide that was swamping her.
"In the ass? Shall I fuck you in the ass, Maddie? Then you'll be well and truly mine."
"Yes, yes, yes," she cried. "Just do it. Please."
"All right."
He turned her over as if she was a rag doll, pushing one of the pillows beneath her tummy for support as he pulled her to her hands and knees. He drew a line of kisses down her spine as one hand stole around to her front and found her clit again. As he played with the soft flesh and drew circles with his mouth on her back and the cheeks of her ass, she began to rock back and forth, a soft moan escaping her lips.
"Maddie?"
"Yes?" Why was he talking. She wanted him inside her. Right now.
