Mac’s
Hotel Room
San Diego California
He knew the marine in Mac didn’t like being coddled, but tonight he was appealing to the woman in her.
When she stepped inside she was overwhelmed by a total loss for what to do or say next. Harm was still standing by the door looking very much as though he were plagued by the same doubts, or were they fears? She knew what she wanted but if he crossed that threshold now, she knew they could never go back.
“It’s not much past midnight,” Mac heard herself say, okay so it’s really ten minutes to one but no sense in pointing that out. “That’s still pretty early, you’re coming in?” It was almost more of a plea than a question.
“If you’d like me to.” He’d waited all these years, he could wait just a little longer.
She opened the door wide and stepped back to let him in. “Please.”
Harm closed the door behind him. Unsure of what to do next, he watched Mac walk over and set her purse down on the table, then, in what felt like slow motion, her hand reached up to her ear and slipped off one earring. Never had such a simple task appeared so sexy to him. As if frozen in time, his eyes followed her hand as it moved over to the other ear and then ever so gracefully set the golden trinkets down beside her handbag. His eyes were now glued to the back of her neck where those same fingers were carefully maneuvering to undo some sort of clasp. Suddenly, his mind was aware that she was speaking and he had no idea what she had said.
“I’m sorry what did you say?”
“I said, do you want to see if there are any good movies on TV and then I asked could you please help me get this necklace off? The clasp seems to be stuck.”
Harm had been so absorbed all night with the way she filled that sumptuous dress, he hadn’t really paid attention to the rather large piece of jewelry that had hung from her neck. With a few short strides he was standing over her.
Mac had gathered her hair in her hands and was holding it up along the back of her head to give Harm easier access.
He couldn’t help but hesitate to admire the pale, soft skin before him. He’d never considered such a simplistic part of the human anatomy could be so beautiful.
Somehow he managed to nimbly undo the delicate closure. As Mac pulled the necklace away from her neck, Harm ran his fingertips delicately across the back of her neck, then across the top of her dress, bringing them to rest on her partially exposed shoulders.
Mac dropped the necklace on the table heavily. She hadn’t expected the electrifying caress from Harm and found it even harder to breathe when his soft moist lips began blazing a trail across the back of her neck. The fire that had started back at the lounge flared instantly into a raging storm. Every nerve ending was tingling, throbbing with want and need.
Harm could feel Mac’s weight leaning heavily in his grasp. The war within him began, his fingers were being drawn to the zipper on the back of her dress as a dying man to a dessert oasis. Did he dare take this to the heights he wanted? Would she turn around and slap him silly for even considering it?
As Harm’s lips moved along the side of her neck, Mac instinctively began shifting, turning around towards him an inch at a time. When his right hand dropped to release his hold on her shoulder she whimpered, almost in pain, as the cold air rushed over what had been the burning warmth of his touch.
“Oh, God, Mac.” The soft sound of her voice was clawing at his desire to hear her cry out his name as he drew her closer and closer to boundless pleasures.
“Harm.” She didn’t think she could stand it any longer. She had to share her love with this man. She’d held back for too many years, pretended with too many men. This was real and she had to share it, even if only for one night.
“Do you know how much I love you?” He needed to be sure she understood, this was more than lust. He was about to share everything he was with her.
With barely a moment’s hesitation, Mac turned fully in his arms. Pressing up snuggly against him. Her lips came within inches of his.
“Show me.” Her voice was low, sultry and shot through Harm with the intensity of a match on lighter fluid. Her lips wrapped around his with a passion and strength that could only mean one thing.
Reaching under her knees, he scooped her up and carried her the short distance to the bed. Her arms were wrapped tightly around him, her fingers kneading the nape of his neck, their lips never separating. Releasing her legs so she could stand before him, he slid his hands slowly up her back until his fingers reached the slender metal tab and slowly pulled the zipper down exposing her back to the now warm surrounding air.
She shrugged out of the dress letting it drop and pool loosely at her feet. She wasn’t one to enjoy standing exposed before another human being, but the love and passion with which Harmon Rabb’s eyes so obviously scanned the woman in front of him, couldn’t help but leave Mac feeling the heat within her as he melted all her fears with that slow steady gaze.
Reaching out, Mac carefully undid the buttons of his shirt, the buckle on his belt, then the button on his trousers. Tugging the shirttails up, she placed feathery kisses across his chest as she pushed the shirt off of him. Once the shirt had fallen to the floor, she closed her lips around one pebbly nipple, licking and teasing it with her tongue as her fingers undid the pants, shoving them to the floor.
Harm stepped out of his pants as Mac worked her way up and across his chest and chin before taking a short step back.
Slowly Mac placed her hands behind her back and undid the closure on her bra. Tentatively, Harm reached forward and slipped the straps off her shoulders, pulling the garment away from her and tossing it to the ground.
His breath literally stopped when her soft breasts fell bare before him. He had dreamt so many times of feasting on the sensuous flesh, of stroking and caressing it, and now she was finally here before him, giving herself to him. Brushing her hair out of her eyes, Harm’s hand moved to cup her cheek. She was more valuable than precious gems, more delicate than a tender rose, and she was his to adore.
This wasn’t the frenzied coupling of two lonely people as his more recent indiscretion had been. This was the sharing of body and soul with the only woman he could ever love. Pulling her against him, the air once again rushed from his lungs when her hot soft voluptuous flesh pressed up against his chest. Latching onto her in a kiss that could melt an iceberg, Harm slowly guided her down onto the bed, his hands beginning a careful journey up her sides, along her soft stomach, coming to a pressing closure on the mounds he had desperately wanted to pay homage to.
Mac's skin was on fire. Everywhere his fingers touched left a blaze of heat on her skin. Even though she was fully aware Harm was trying not to lean too heavily on her, she was craving the feel of his skin on hers. Snaking her arms around his neck, she pulled his upper body tightly against her. Hooking her foot around his leg she tugged so his lower body weight fell more evenly across her.
When his hips landed squarely on Mac’s, Harm felt his heart lurch to his throat. The thin scraps of material separating them wasn’t enough to stop the tidal wave of desire that was now surging exponentially through his entire body. His lips pulled back from hers as his lungs cried for more air. Closing his eyes, he paused only a moment regaining some control of his senses. He wasn’t going to allow this to become a frenzied mating. He was going to take this slowly even if it killed him, and the way her soft mound pressed up against his already hard arousal, it might very well do just that.
Trying to lift his weight up onto his knees, Mac tangled her legs around him not letting him raise himself up.
“Mac, please, I’m too heavy.” Harm mumbled through their kiss, futily trying to put some distance between their lower bodies.
Completely ignoring his pleas, Mac slid her fingers down his back hooking them in the waistband of his boxers. As quickly as she could, she tugged them down placing one hand between them and grabbing firmly hold of Harm.
“Maac, God, Sarah....” he panted quietly, her fingers gently swirling around his already oozing tip. “Please.” He reached between them in an attempt to move her hand. “This is going to end before we get started.”
Running her tongue from the base of his neck up to the edge of his jaw in one steady, long lick, Mac practically blew her response into his ear. “Then we’ll just have to start again.”
When Mac teased the inside of his ear with the tip of her tongue at the same time her hand dropped to cup his balls and lightly squeeze, Harm thought he would explode with want.
Mac was already dripping with want and desire herself when Harm’s lips came crashing down on hers. His hands slipping her panties down between them so quickly she wasn’t sure she’d had them on at all. She swore she could hear Harm growl when his erection brushed up against her now exposed curls.
Barely
rubbing against her, he could feel how wet and ready she was. He couldn’t
help the groan that erupted at the thought of finally being able to bury
himself deep inside her.
In a sudden burst of movement, Harm dropped one hand to reach between
them, slowly swirling his oozing tip around her moist entrance. At the
same moment his mouth released her lips and licked its way down to suck
in her heaving breast. He wanted so to feast on every inch of her but
there’d be time for that later.
Mac’s fingers dug into Harm’s six. Electricity shooting through her as his mouth sucked and nipped on her overly sensitive nipple. Her breasts heaving upward, her hips pushed against him. The dual assault on her senses was almost more than she could stand. The more his tip rubbed and teased around all her nerve endings, the stronger the waves of electricity began to surge through her until she was writhing beneath him uncontrollably.
Harm knew he couldn’t hold out much longer. Bringing his hand up to caress the breast he had been so voraciously enjoying, Harm’s mouth moved to capture Mac’s in a strong hard kiss at the exact moment he finally plunged into her depths. Remaining deep inside, he swerved his hips creating a sensitive friction that left Mac gripping at the sheets.
Practically gasping for air, Mac began calling his name. Panting, “yes, Harm, OH, GOD.” He had begun a rhythm of slowly pulling out and forcefully thrusting back in that had her body wracked with orgasmic convulsions.
Pulling his upper body back slightly, Harm watched the emotions fluttering across Mac’s face at every thrust. Her head was tossed back, turning from side to side. Every groan, every call of his name filled him with bursts of energy until he was pounding into her with everything he was.
This was the most exquisite sex he’d ever had. Her body had convulsed over and over around him, her fingers now digging once again into his back and six. The feel of which was making it harder and harder to ignore his own need for release. Crying out loudly, her body almost lifted off the bed in climax sending Harm over the edge. His body and soul emptying fully into hers.
For the first time in his life he could hear the roar of the ocean, feel the waves crashing about them. He could almost swear there was a full orchestra quietly playing the theme from A Summer Place as the waves subsided and teased at their now exhausted bodies.
He’d always known women appreciated him in bed. He considered himself honorable enough a man to have made love to the women in his past. Until this moment he had no idea how much he’d been shortchanging himself. He’d had some great sex, but nothing compared to making love to the woman he adored.
Snuggling into each other’s embrace, Harm kissed Mac on the forehead. “I love you.” He whispered.
Mac’s chin tilted upward, her eyes opening wide to examine him more closely. If she had considered even for a moment that any of his recent behavior was nothing more than an elaborate plan to seduce her into his bed, the promise in his eyes told her this was the real deal. She finally had what she’d wanted all her life. “I love you too.”
That said, she dropped her head into the crook of his neck and they fell soundly asleep. For a while.
