Tough To Love Page 9

  She squirmed at the snug fit while Rally’s breath hissed out between his two front teeth. “Babe, you’re so fucking tight. I can feel your wetness sucking at my fingers.”

  “I hurt,” Sage whimpered, totally lost in the moment as her fingers stroked Rally through his pants. His cock jumped and swelled even more beneath her fingers. She stroked him a few more times and then moved her hand away.

  “Where…here?” he asked, moving his fingers in and out of her dripping body.

  “Yes…but in other places, too,” she whispered, brushing her swollen nipples over Rally’s hard chest.

  Chuckling, he left her pussy and quickly unsnapped the front of her shirt, then unhooked the front of her bra.

  “You’re breathtaking,” he whispered, bending his head. He tugged her swollen right nipple into his mouth. His tongue licked the tip before his teeth gently bit down, making her unable to even think straight.

  She couldn’t believe all of this was happening. She had dreamt about Rally doing these things to her for so long. But the reality was so much better than her constant fantasies alone in her bed at night. However, she wanted something more.

  “Rally, stop,” she whispered, touching him on the chest.

  He let go of her nipple with a loud pop and blinked a couple of time, clearing the hot desire out his gorgeous jade eyes. “What is it?” Rally asked, staring at her. “Were you not enjoying yourself? I swear I can make it better.” She heard the promise in his voice and it brought a smile to her face.

  “Yes, I was enjoying myself, but I want you to do something for me.”

  “What do you want?”

  “I want to know what it feels like.”

  “How what feels?” Rally asked, rubbing his thumb across her bottom lip.

  Slipping her hand back between their bodies, Sage cupped Rally’s heavy cock in the palm of her hand. “I want to know what it feels like to have you inside of me.”

  ****

  Rally felt like he had been punched in the stomach as Sage’s words echoed in his head. She wanted to feel his cock inside of her tight pussy?

  Hell, there was no way he could do that here without losing his mind. He only came by to seduce her a little after seeing her with Julian. He didn’t want their first time together to be hard and fast on top of a desk.

  No…he couldn’t do it. She deserved better than this. Maybe he could talk her into coming back home with him and they would spend the rest of the day making love. He wanted to prove to her how much he cared for her… maybe even loved her.

  He wasn’t used to the feeling, but he had to guess this was pretty close to what it felt like. Seeing her kiss Julian practically tore his heart out of his chest. It wasn’t a sight he wanted to witness again.

  Lord…what made him come over here in the first place? This was getting way out of hand. He couldn’t do this…could he? He wanted her so badly that his body ached from it, but he didn’t want to treat her like she wasn’t special to him.

  If he said no, would she go and ask Julian for the same favor? His blood ran hot at the thought of his friend’s hands anywhere on Sage’s hourglass body; however, the respect he felt for her won over.

  “Sage, baby…I don’t think that would be a good idea.”

  It would only lead to a lot more trouble, like him sleeping with her before he had completely broken up with Vanity. He had to totally get her out of his life before he made a commitment to Sage.

  “I can’t believe I just made a fool of myself for you again. What is wrong with me? I should have known you wouldn’t do it,” she hissed, shoving him away from her body.

  Sage glared at him as she fixed her clothing. “You need to leave before Julian comes back. I don’t want him finding you here.”

  Storming past him, Sage walked over to the chair and snatched up his shirt. She turned back around and tossed it to him. “I’m not kidding with you. Get out!”

  Rally caught his shirt in mid-air and tossed it on the desk. This new, spunkier side of Sage was making his dick even harder. He liked that she had grown a backbone. The old Sage would have started crying and run from the room, but this one was standing up to him. He wonder what else she had hiding beneath the surface.

  “I don’t give a damn about Julian. I want to know, when he comes back, are you going to ask him to slide his dick inside of you?” Her damn answer better be no or she wasn’t going to like his reaction.

  Folding her arms over her breasts, Sage tried not to flinch as they brushed her swollen nipples. She loved and hated the way her body still responded to Rally. “You don’t have any right to ask me that question. What I do with Julian isn’t any of your concern. Now, for the last time, put on your shirt and leave!”

  Rally’s long legs ate up the distance between him and her. “I noticed that you flinched when you crossed your arms. Are your nipples still hurting, sweetheart? Do you want me to suck them again? They tasted so good in my mouth. I could nibble at them, too, if you like.” His low, soothing words made a pool of moisture gather between her legs.

  “No, thank you,” she answered.

  “Why not?” he countered. “I know Julian doesn’t make you cream your panties like I do. I make you burn for every kiss and lick I place on your body, don’t I?”

  Grabbing her hand, Rally pulled her back over the desk behind them. He picked her up and sat her on top. He slipped his hands underneath the skirt and removed her soaked underwear. He took a quick whiff and pitched them on the floor.

  “What are you doing?” She gasped. “I told you to leave and I meant it.’

  “No, you didn’t. Now, take off your shirt and bra,” Rally ordered while his hands moved to the front of his slacks.

  “Why?” Sage whispered as she watched Rally pull out his massive cock. A drop of moisture was at the tip and he brushed it away with the pad of his thumb.

  “I want to suck on your nipples while I’m inside of you.”

  “You’re going to do it.”

  Sage hated how her body grew warmer at the sight of Rally touching himself. She tried to tell him to leave again, but the words wouldn’t come out. She quickly got rid of her clothing like Rally requested.

  “I’m not going to completely make love to you, but I’ll put in the tip. Hell, I hope I can keep my control,” Rally mumbled softly, more to himself than her. “I haven’t only slid in halfway since eleventh grade in high school, so be patient with me.”

  “All right.”

  She gasped, watching as Rally fell back into the seat. He grabbed her by the waist and then lifted her above his erection. Looking at it how thick it was, she could probably only handle half. Rally was much larger than she expected.

  “When I say enough is enough, it’s over. Don’t ask me for anything more because I’ll already be at my breaking point. God…let me be able to handle this.”

  Sage couldn’t think about anything but having Rally inside of her. She would agree to anything that he had to say. “I promise I won’t give you any problems.”

  Leaning her forward, Rally gave her nipples a quick lick. “Excellent, now lift up your skirt as high as it will go. I want to see the moment my cock slips into your pussy.”

  Her heart pounded away inside her chest as her hands pushed the skirt up as far as it would go. “It won’t go any further,” she whispered.

  Rally’s nostrils flared as his tongue came out and licked his full bottom lip. “I should be shot for doing this, but you smell so damn sweet. I could make a meal out of you, but first things first. I’m the one in control, not you. Do you understand me?”

  “Yes, I understand, Rally,” Sage answered, secretly wondering if she had enough control to not beg for more.

  Nodding, Rally slowly slid her down until she felt him slip inside her body. She sucked in a deep breath as her body stretched to the feel of him. “Oh, you’re so thick and hot,” she mumbled, bracing her hands on his shoulders. She squirmed, trying to get used to the sensation Rally’s cock was
causing inside of her body.

  “Holy shit,” Rally growled, tightening his hands on her waist. “Don’t do that.”

  “I can’t help it. You feel so good. Not one of my dreams compared to this.” Biting her lips, she tried to slide down a little further, but Rally stopped her.

  “No…Sage…baby, you have to stop,” Rally begged. “I’m trying not to lose control here.” He drew her swollen nipple into his warm mouth. The sucking from his mouth made her inner muscles squeeze him even tighter.

  Rally let go of her breasts and his head fell back against the leather seat. “Fuck! You’re killing me. Sage…didn’t I tell you not to move again.”

  “I didn’t,” she swore. “But, can’t I just move a little? You’re just so warm. It’s like I can feel you throbbing inside of me. It makes me feel like I’m missing something.”

  Don’t do it, his mind screamed, but his erection had other ideas and right now he wasn’t listening. He knew what she was missing, but he was trying his best not to give it to her. This proved it .There was no way in hell Julian was sleeping with her. Sage wouldn’t be acting like this if they were.

  A second before he slipped in another inch his conscience set in. “No, I can’t do this. If you want to learn anything else, it can’t be here.” Rally started to lift Sage off his cock until she ran her tongue across his collarbone.

  “Please, Rally,” she begged softly, making his erection even harder. “I promise to be a good girl and not ask you for anything else. But, I’m dying to know how it feels to have you deeper inside of me. Not Julian or any other man, only you. I’m twenty-four years old and I’ve waited so long to be with you like this.”

  Why does she have to sound so hot and sweet at the same time?

  He was fighting the urge to give Sage everything she wanted, but he wouldn’t….no he couldn’t. So, he gave her half.

  “I’m going to go deeper, but you can’t keep squirming around like that. It’s going to make me lose control and we both can’t have that.”

  Hell…he wanted to lose control right now so badly, but he couldn’t.

  “I promise. I won’t move no matter how good you’re making my body feel,” Sage swore as she sucked her bottom lip into her mouth.

  Holy shit! His cock grew even harder at the thought of Sage’s mouth sucking on something else.

  Swallowing, Rally slid Sage down until his erection hit a barrier. He knew it! Sage was still a virgin. She wasn’t sharing Julian’s bed, and she wouldn’t after this. He would be the only man to ever have her.

  “This is where we stop. I can’t move anymore without causing you some pain and that isn’t going to happen,” Rally said. He was trying desperately not to break them, but Sage was so damn snug and his erection was begging to finish the job.

  Purring in the back of her throat, Sage tried to move, but the death grip he had on her hips wouldn’t allow it. “Oh, Rally, I can feel you. It’s so …” she moaned, tossing back her head. “Can’t I move just a little? Just having you there is driving me crazy.”

  Yes!!!

  He wanted to yell the word at the top of his lungs; however, he knew Sage was just feeling her first taste of passion.

  “No, baby, you can’t,” he said, and then lifted Sage completely off his throbbing body.

  Shit! Now he remembered why he hated the tip idea in high school. It always left him horny and cranky. He wasn’t ever going to do that again with Sage. The next time they were together, they couldn’t do any of this again. He had to prove to Sage how much he cared about her before they made love.

  Standing her in front of him, he pulled down her skirt. “I gave you what you wanted and kept my word.” This was one time in his life that Rally hated being a man of character. Grabbing Sage’s shirt off the floor, he slipped it back on her and quickly snapped it back up before he lost what little senses he had left.

  Sage opened and closed her mouth several times before words finally came out. “I can’t believe that just happened.”

  “I knew something like this had been building up for a while between us.” He sighed as he hurriedly fixed his own clothing. “I can’t make love to you until I settle some other things first.”

  “I wanted you to, even after everything you’ve done to me. I still wanted you,” she whispered, taking a step back from him. “You’re still with Vanity, aren’t you?”

  “Yes, but—” he replied, reaching for her, but Sage knocked his hand away.

  “Rally, you need to leave and I mean it this time. I need time to think.”

  Rally knew if he left Sage alone right now she would read something more into what just occurred between the two of them. She wasn’t aware of how things had changed for him. Every time he tried to tell her, something or someone interrupted them. She was assuming he still cared about Vanity. He never loved her. It took Sage truly leaving him to make his heart and head see the truth.

  “Why don’t you leave with me?’ he suggested softly. “I have to tell you something.”

  Sage shook her head. “No, I can’t. Julian needs me to stay here until the kids come back from their trip.

  “Fuck Julian,” Rally yelled and mentally kicked himself when Sage took another step away from him. “Baby, I need to clear the air with you. Will you see me later tonight?”

  Sage opened her mouth, but the sound of running feet stopped her. “I can’t do it. Please, go.”

  “No, not until you listen to me.”

  Chapter Fourteen

  Sighing, Sage looked directly at him. “Rally, are you ready to make a commitment to me? I mean one where everyone knows that we are together.”

  “Yes,” he answered. “I want to be in your life. We’ll be perfect together. You might have seen it before me, but I see it now. Let me prove it to you.”

  “Do you still believe the worst thing you could do is marry a woman that isn’t Native American? I know you may love me on some level and that’s wonderful. But I loved you so much, and every single time I saw you with Vanity, a piece of my heart broke,” she confessed. “I realized one day that I had to make a change in my life. One of us had to let go and it wasn’t ever going to be you, so I did.”

  Why did she have to tell him that?

  “Sage, my feelings for you and loving my heritage are two different things. Do you really know the hard time my parents had? My mother wasn’t a pure Shawnee woman, but interracial. Her father was white and I inherited my green eyes from him. However, my father adored her so much that he left his people and moved here. I don’t want that for my children.”

  “Oh, I understand now. You think I’m good enough to sleep with or maybe even date for a while, but you won’t ever put a ring on my finger. Lord forbid, your children will be a combination of both of us.”

  “No, I’m not telling you that,” Rally denied.

  Sage gave him a sad smile as she walked closer to him. She kissed him on the cheek and took a step back. “Go back to your Vanity. She’s the one for you. I’ve outgrown running around in circles trying to get something you don’t have to ability to give me, Mr. Teveare.”

  Rally felt like a knife had been shoved into his gut. Sage sounded like she didn’t believe he wanted her to be with him. He never saw her like that. She just didn’t understand the pressure he was under.

  “Sweetheart, I never…”

  “Don’t. I can’t listen to any more of your excuses, Rally. I wish you the best of luck with whatever choice you make, but leave me out of it. I actually have something good going on with Julian. He’s a good man. I think…no, I know we can be very happy together.”

  Why did her words make his blood run cold?

  He never actually thought about how it would be if he made that ultimate commitment to Vanity. She wasn’t loving or giving. How could she express that emotion with kids? Honestly, he doubted Vanity was even thinking about being a mother. Her career was everything to her, it was even more important than him.

  “Can we go somewhere
and talk about this?”

  “There’s nothing to discuss,” Sage retorted. “You made your choice. I might not have heard it at first, but I hear you now. Paselo, Rally.” Twirling around, Sage went over to the door, opening it. She went out like she had finally washed her hands of him.

  Rally buttoned up his shirt and started after Sage until he glanced at clock on the wall. Fuck! He only had thirty minutes to get halfway across town to meet with a new client.

  This gentleman came highly recommended from one of his most influential clients that he had worked for over the past six years. A businessman wanted his help with some financial reports. His last stockbroker had been stealing from him and now he was looking for an older, more reputable man to deal with.

  “I’ll deal with Sage later. She can’t possibly believe I’m going to give up after what happened in that office,” Rally said, as he left the room.

  Chapter Fifteen

  In the days that followed his rendezvous with Sage in Julian’s office, Rally tried to get her alone again so they could talk, but she wasn’t having it. If he went to her job, she found ways to brush him off and leave. So, he tried catching her at her apartment when she would be home, but she wouldn’t answer the door.

  He was worried that Sage had brushed him off so easily. Even Shawn noticed how Sage wasn’t the same. However, Vanity was thrilled Sage wasn’t around like she used to be at the house. She was bold enough to hint for an engagement ring. He had been trying to break things off with her, but she would cut him off or leave before he was finished. She probably sensed the change in their relationship and was trying to avoid the inevitable.

  Earlier this week, he had thrown a party at the office to celebrate landing a new account and he invited Sage. Julian showed up and stayed a few minutes, but Sage had been a no show. Yesterday, he saw them out together holding hands walking down the sidewalk like neither one had a care in the world.

  Did she really think he wasn’t going to find a way to get her alone? He had so much to tell her, but she was being so damn difficult now.
