After Jovanti, their longtime bodyguard took Leon home, Hawk left, leaving only Willow and Calderone at the safe house, except for the guard upstairs.
When he saw her standing at the windows, he joined her. “I am grateful for what you did,” he stated.
Willow tried to keep her gaze on the window, but she so wanted to get another look at the man. “You don’t have to thank me.”
“Oh, but I do. This all could have been disastrous as we were entirely unaware of this plot.”
“I wish I’d never heard it. My life has been turned upside down.” She finally turned to look at him. “No offense, but I would be home at my small ranch right now, on my couch watching Netflix with my two dogs, if I hadn’t been there today.”
“It sounds like you had a good life going,” he commented.
“I did as far as it goes. I mean I’ve been alone for some time now, but I like it.”
“I too, have been alone for many years.”
She stared at his profile and filled her nose with his scent. Some expensive cologne but it was light. A scent that must be just him was mixed in with it. And damn, she had never seen a suit fit a man so well. Although, he had removed his tie and jacket. His white shirt was so crisp and clean that she wanted to reach out and wrinkle it just to be sure it was a normal shirt. But of course, she would never to do that. She did know this man was not normal in any sense of the word. Damn, she was so curious about him too. “A man like you, that looks like you is alone? I find that hard to believe. Like you could have several women.”
He laughed. “No, not even one, let alone three. Not for a while now.”
“Why?” It just popped out of her mouth and she winced at her own question.
“Why?” He sighed. “No one garners my interest I suppose.”
“You mean enough to date or…”
He turned his head to look into her eyes. “Not one that made me feel interested.” he paused. “I mean… like you are making me feel right now.”
“Me?” she almost squeaked and then turned toward the window. She was too nervous to look at the man any longer. Gazing into those gray eyes she’d felt spellbound.
“I must warn you. I have waited a long time for a woman to make my breath catch. To make me hard.” He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
“What are you doing?” she asked him breathlessly.
Meeting her gaze in the reflection of the window, he smiled. “I think you know exactly what I’m doing.”
“Ok then… why are you doing this? We don’t even know each other.” She tried to keep calm, but god, he just smelled so good.
“We may not know each other all that well yet, but I think we will get there.” Calderone leaned closer and breathed her scent into his lungs. “You smell delicious,” he whispered in her ear.
“That sounds very cheesy.” She groaned as she felt his lips on the back of her neck. But she had thought the same exact thing about him.
“What I’m feeling right now is anything but cheesy.” He growled in her ear as he rubbed his pelvis against her ass.
Willow moaned as she felt his manhood against her butt. It had been a long time since she’d felt this need growing inside her. Why would this one man stand out to her? He made her heart beat a little harder and the sound of his voice reached all the way to her soul.
Was it the hint of danger he presented or was it something more than that? When he touched her, she felt a spark of electricity dance over her skin. She wasn’t sure what it meant but she did know she’d never felt this spark before, not even with Steve.
She’d always been the good daughter, doing what was expected of her but this man? He made her want to break the rules. Did she dare? God, how she wanted to, just throw caution to the wind and have wild sex with this magnificent man. It would keep her warm during the cold nights, alone in bed.
At the last minute though, Willow pulled away from him and walked down the hall to the bedroom they had given her. She didn’t have the courage. Once a good girl…always a good girl. This man could be more than she could handle anyway.
Calderone watched her walk away and wanted to shout his rage. How could she think of leaving him? His body didn’t like the fact that he wasn’t balls deep inside her but he’d never been a man to just take what he wanted without regarding someone else’s wishes. He growled and made his way to another bedroom. As he undressed, he couldn’t help regretting her leaving. He’d never gotten this hard so quickly before. He sat down on the bed naked, he hadn’t brought any clothes and he needed his suit unwrinkled for tomorrow. He sat and wondered why she walked away. He could tell she was attracted to him.
He laid down and wondered if he’d come on too strong. He just hadn’t expected the instant attraction he felt for her when he saw her face to face. Then he thought back to the phone call that started this whole thing. Her voice had been sweet to his ears even then as he’d gotten a charge along his skin just from the sound of it but he’d ignored that part, considering the subject of that call.
He shut the lights off and laid down in the bed. His cock throbbed and he was tempted to self-satisfy himself but he knew it wouldn’t be the same. He just couldn’t bring himself to do that…he wanted this woman, not his own hand.
He tried to close his eyes and get at least a few hours of sleep but sleep wouldn’t come easy for Calderone. He twisted, turned and couldn’t get comfortable.
Then he heard a footstep outside his door and he stilled. His hand went to the gun under his pillow, yet he paused to draw the weapon. He watched as the door opened slowly and a shadow slipped into the room.
Willow came over to the bed and stood there looking down at him. Without saying a word, her eyes caught his and she slowly slipped the robe off her shoulders. She just stood there in an old t-shirt and a pair of small shorts.
Calderone stared at her as he caught her scent. “If you join me in this bed, I won’t let you run away again,” he told her softly.
“Maybe I don’t want to run away again,” she whispered as she slowly lifted her t-shirt off and dropped it to the floor.
Calderone sucked in his breath and just stared at her. Her breasts were full and round, her waist was small, and her hips flared out.
She then divested herself of her small shorts. She knelt on the mattress and whispered, “I need you to kiss me. I see the promise of something special in your eyes and I need to know what that is.”
Calderone did not pause nor hesitate as he grabbed her and pulled her to him. His lips crushed hers with a wild greed that he hadn’t felt in years.
As soon as he touched her, Willow felt the spark of desire flow through her veins. But this desire was unlike anything she’d ever felt before. It ran hot within her and when she closed her eyes, she saw explosions of color behind her eyelids. She couldn’t explain it but she saw them, almost like fireworks. And this was all just from a kiss.
Then she was hauled over and laid on his chest. Her breasts were bare skin to bare skin against his chest. She moaned under the onslaught of his touch. The sheet that covered him had been kicked to the floor and she could feel the entire length of his body. His chest was well muscled and warm as was his belly and legs.
Her fingertips roamed his body and she wasn’t disappointed. Calderone Vincinti was a hard man under that suit just like she had guessed and this delighted her. His chest and belly were covered in a fine layer of hair, it teased and tormented her and as she rubbed her chest against his and felt her nipples hardening.
Calderone deepened the kiss as he grabbed the globes of her ass and ground his hard cock into her belly. He broke their kiss in order to breathe, then his warm lips traveled down her jaw to her neck. Nibbling and nipping his way to her collarbone and beyond.
His hand hadn’t touched her yet but her core was soaking wet, so much so her juices coated his cock and she was so stunned by this. She had never felt so worked up by a man. What had she been missing all these years? He sensuously pushed his cock closer to her folds, rubbing and grinding on her.
Willow gasped as she felt how hard he was, and how big he was. His cock was long and wide, so she didn’t know if he would fit but she was willing to find out. She sat up, opened her legs and poised herself at the tip of his cock then slammed down on him. She kept his eyes on hers the whole time and when he entered her body, she hissed with such an intense feeling of pleasure that she actually thought she might scream.
When Calderone had been feasting on her skin which tasted like heaven, he had found himself lingering on one spot where he could feel her heart pounding in her chest and noted the rapid pace. He now, noted how wet she was and he groaned as she sheathed him with her warmth. She was hot and tight and he loved being where he was. He grasped her hips and his hold told him he might be leaving bruises on her skin but at the moment, he didn’t care. And he very much doubted Willow cared either.
He pushed himself in and out of her, it felt so good that he forced himself to move slow at first. Then Willow rotated her hips and ground her core down on him. He thought that this sensuous movement might just unhinge him as he tried to keep a slow pace, but soon, he began to bring her down harder and deeper with each stroke.
When she went to close her eyes at the onslaught of being possessed by this heat and pleasure they shared, Calderone growled, “Look at me, I want to see your eyes.”
Willow opened her eyes and stared at him as she climbed to the top of the abyss. Then she cupped her breasts as her fingers touched her nipples. She groaned as she felt him fill her up over and over again, then she added to her own pleasure by twisting her nipples.
She moaned as she rode him hard.
Calderone groaned as he watched her pleasure herself while he pounded her. His eyes glazed over as she visually climbed higher and higher to the edge. One of his hands lifted from her hips and he brushed her hand away from her breast. Leaning up, he covered her nipple with his mouth and suckled her breast. As soon as he began suckling, Willow whimpered breathlessly. When he bit down gently, she herself let out a small growl and held the back of his head to her chest.
Now it was Calderone’s turn to growl with pleasure as his other hand slipped down to her clit and he began to thumb her hard throbbing button.
Willow threw her head back and screamed as she exploded and flew over the edge.
He pushed one, two three more times and began flooding her with his own essence. His hands slipped down to her hips again and held her tightly as he filled her with his hot cum.
When he was done, Calderone was almost weak, as he hadn’t come that hard in his lifetime, maybe.
“Wow,” Willow whispered as she laid her head on his chest. “That was incredible.”
He chuckled under his breath. “Indeed it was. For me as well.”
She turned her head and told him, “I’ve only been with one other man and he was my husband. And I have to tell you, he never took me to places like you just did. I had no idea sex could be like that. How could I have been missing this my entire life? It was amazing and almost too much for words to describe. Thank you for giving me heaven at least once in my lifetime.”
Calderone frowned. “You talk like that’s going to be our last time together, why?”
Willow frowned. “I thought that’s what you would want.”
Calderone smiled gently. “Not a chance. You and I aren’t done yet. We’re just getting started. No way, have I had my fill of you yet.”
Willow looked shocked. “Really? Wow.”
“I told you woman, if you joined me I wasn’t going to let you run away from me and I meant every word. You belong to me now,” he stated arrogantly.
“Ok.” Willow tilted her head at him. “But that means you belong to me as well right? I know you have your pick of women but you chose me for now. I don’t share well with others, just to warn you.”
Calderone stared up into her face. “Is that a threat?”
Willow got off him and sat up. She then looked at him steadily. “No, not a threat. I’ve always done what I was told to do. My father wanted me to get a good education, so I studied hard and got the grades. I went to college and graduated early because I pushed myself to do so. I got married straight out of college to a man my parents actually chose for me and I was faithful to that man for thirteen years. I was only going to marry one time in my life and I thought he was it. Unfortunately, he thought he could have his cake and eat it too. When I walked out on him, he thought he didn’t need me anymore, then he found out differently after his mistress took him for everything he had. When she left him, he came back to me, begging me to take him back. I didn’t take him back for the reason I just gave you. I have more self-worth than to share the men in my life. I don’t sleep around and I never will. I expect the same from the men in my life. If you can’t do that then tell me now, because I won’t be with a man who can’t be with only me.”
Calderone listened to her story then he spoke, “I was married when I was twenty years old and Louisa was the love of my life. We had a daughter shortly after we were married. Then when my daughter was five, she and her mother were in a hit and run accident. The bastard that hit their car carried off my daughter and left her mother, my wife to die, alone and in great pain. I didn’t find my daughter for sixteen years but I finally got her back. That doesn’t mean I didn’t look for her, I did every single fucking day. I looked for my daughter. And I mourned my wife’s death. I couldn’t even look at another woman for years and then only to release myself in her body. I didn’t have any feelings for the one woman I was with for a time and she had none for me. That is the way it’s been for me from the day I lost my wife.” He paused then looked over at her. “I don’t share well with others either, tesoro- sweetheart. I feel something with you that I haven’t felt in a very long time. Tonight was more than just release for me. For the first time in a very long time, I felt something much more than I’ve felt before. I’m not going anywhere and now, neither are you.”
“Ok.”
Calderone raised an eyebrow at her. “Just ok?”
She nodded. “I’m willing to see where this will go. As long as we’re open and honest as to what we’re both as willing to do and what we both want, then we just go with the flow for now.”
“And is that good enough for you?” he had to ask.
Willow thought about his question and finally shook her head. “Not really. My parents are very old fashioned and they taught me to respect myself and make the right choices in life. Me being here with you in this bed would give them both a heart attack. Not only because we just had sex but probably because of who you are an what you do for a living. But when they turned their backs on me when I wouldn’t take my cheating ex-husband back and forgive him for his cheating, I lost most of my respect for them.” Distractedly, she got off the bed and began looking for her t-shirt.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he finally asked.
“Back to my own room.”
“Why?” He opened his arms and urged her to rejoin him. “Come back to bed. We only have a short time to sleep and I want you in my arms.”
Willow stared at him for a moment then slowly crawled back into his bed. When his arms closed around her, she felt like she was home. She closed her eyes and felt him relax then she fell peacefully asleep.
