body shook and she poured into his mouth.
Every muscle tightened and spasmed, wrenching every bit of response from her. Connor drew out her climax with his very clever mouth and fingers, pushing her up and over a precipice until she was sure she’d fall apart. She was spinning in space, whirling, twisting, her body no longer her own, as the orgasm went on and on and on.
He was relentless, never taking his hands and his mouth from her cunt and her clit. Whenever the tremors would begin to subside he drove her to the peak again. Finally, when she was trembling from the effort and her body refused to respond one more time, he slid his fingers out, gave her slit one last, long lap with his tongue and lay down beside her, pulling her against him. His large warm hands moved easily over her back, soothing her and calming her. His lips, still coated with candy and her own wetness, pressed kisses to her forehead, her temples, her cheeks. When her breathing had evened out he tilted up her chin and smiled at her.
“Definitely the best treat I’ve had in a long time.” He smoothed her hair back from her forehead. “Are you doing okay, sweetheart? You came for a long time.”
She smiled up at him, still shaky but unbelievable sated. “Better than I’ve ever been.”
He chuckled. “Don’t say that. We’ve just gotten started here.” He touched one finger to the emerald pendant, the gems vibrant as the sun’s rays caught them. “I guess the Egyptians knew what they were talking about.”
She let out a tremulous breath. “I’d say so.”
With fluid grace he stood and lifted her in his arms. “All right, then. Time for a swim.”
Chapter Two
“Connor, are you crazy? It’s October in Maine. And this is the ocean. We’ll freeze to death.”
He laughed, a rich, full sound as he strode across the tiny strip of beach, holding her to his chest. “Afraid of a little cold water? I think you need something to cool you off.”
“No!” she squealed as he stepped into the surf, lowering her to her feet. “Oh! Ouch! Cold! You brute.”
“Come on, chicken. We need to wash away all that fudge.”
Still laughing, he tugged at her hand, leading her into water up to her hips. She flinched at the first cold touch but Connor stopped, pulled her against him and lowered his mouth to hers. The kiss was like a flame, scorching her, setting every nerve ending to sizzle. He moved his tongue in and out of her mouth in rapid strokes as he’d done with her cunt, mimicking the movement. The chill of the water disappeared as flashes of warmth spread through her.
“Touch your pendant,” Connor whispered, his lips against her. “Go on. Do it.”
Meredith raised her hand in slow motion and pressed her fingertips against the emerald pine tree. At once the warmth she felt turned to white hot heat. Even the water swirling around her seemed to rise in temperature. “What?”
“Better?” he murmured against her mouth.
She felt his lips turn up in a smile. “Yes. But how—”
“Ssh. I told you. The emeralds have secret powers. Stand still and let me wash you.”
He knelt in the water that now slapped at his shoulders, nudged her legs apart and ran his fingers lazily the length of her slit and back again. She shuddered as, unbelievably, her pussy responded, muscles she could have sworn were exhausted begin to flutter again, His lean index fingers moved up the insides of her labia until the reached her clit, then peeled back the tiny hood covering it and sucked on the unprotected bud.
Meredith’s body jolted, every nerve ending sizzling in response. Her legs were shaking so badly she had to dig her fingernails into Connor’s shoulders to keep her balance. But as soon as she took her hand away from the pendant she felt the icy kiss of the ocean again and goose bumps rose on her skin. Somehow she managed to grab the emerald jewel again and still
