Chapter Fifteen

The headlights from the truck lit up the driveway and Mai pulled the truck close to the garage door. Dale leaned over and kissed her cheek. “We need to be quiet. Thomas texted. Noah’s spending the night at Chip’s but Seth’s here.”

Mai turned her head and kissed her. Her mouth was hot and wet. Dale wrapped her hand in her shirt and held her in place as she kissed her.

Mai’s fingers dug into her shoulder, and she broke their kiss. “Can we go inside? I can’t do what I want to do to you in this truck.”

“How quiet can you be?” Dale licked a line to Mai’s ear and then kissed the delicate shell.

“Very.”

“Good.” Dale slipped away from Mai’s arms. She popped the door open, exited, and then closed the truck door gently, bumping it with her hip to make sure it was latched. Mai closed her door and met Dale in front of the truck. She placed her hand in the small of Dale’s back as they walked the brick walk around to the side door.

Dale savored the sensation of Mai’s touch. The house was dark. Mai unlocked the door and held it open for Dale. With Mai’s arm steadying her, she slipped off her pumps and looped their straps over her fingers and crept inside. Mai closed the door behind her and flipped the deadbolt knob. Dale clutched Mai’s hand and led her to her bedroom. At the door, Mai stopped without warning. Dale lost her balance and fell against her.

“What?” Dale whispered.

“Are you sure?” Mai’s brow was furrowed. “What if he hears us?”

Dale cupped Mai’s face and nibbled her way to her ear before she whispered. “I’m the mom. And what if he does? It’s my house.” She kissed Mai gently. “If you make too much noise, I’ll use my panties as a gag. Does that work for you?”

Mai trembled and a tight groan rumbled from her chest. “Oh yes.”

Dale pushed the door open and drew Mai inside. She turned and shoved a slide lock in place.

Mai raised her eyebrows. “Lock on the inside?”

“The only way to fly when you have kids who forget to knock when the door is closed.”

Dale inclined her head toward the bathroom. “Want to shower with me?” She lifted the hem of her dress and pulled it free of her body.

Mai’s gaze settled on her. “Yes.” Mai unbuttoned her shirt and tossed it on her dresser. She stepped close to Dale and wrapped her arms around her and drew her into a kiss.

“Let me.” Mai opened the clasp of Dale’s bra and lifted it from her shoulders, the touch of her fingertips leaving a trail of heat as she removed Dale’s bra.

Dale let her head fall back on to her shoulder and closed her eyes. Mai took a nipple in her mouth and sucked gently before she scraped her teeth over the tip.

Her hands settled on Dale’s waist and she rubbed her thumbs over Dale’s hipbones. She released Dale’s nipple and sank to the floor. On her knees, she hooked the edge of Dale’s underwear with her fingers and drew them down her legs. Dale rested her hand on the top of Mai’s head and lifted each foot in turn as Mai undressed her.

Mai pressed a kiss to the trimmed curls over Dale’s clit. “You want me? Want this?”

Dale widened her stance. “Yes. Lick me.”

Mai nuzzled her thigh. “Ask nicely.” She nipped Dale’s thigh.

Dale trembled as Mai gripped her thighs tightly and breathed over her stiff clit.

Dale yanked her hair hard. “Lick me now. I want to come in your mouth.”

Mai groaned at the sharp tug on her scalp. Thrilled with Dale’s commanding tone, she licked a long line from Dale’s swollen labia to her clit. She swirled her tongue over her in fast, hard circles.

Dale covered her mouth with one hand to muffle her cries and gripped Mai’s shoulder as she shuddered through her orgasm.

Moonlight filtered through the window and lit Mai’s features as she kneeled. She looked up at Dale, her face gleaming, and Dale bent to kiss her. She savored the taste of herself on her lover’s lips. Mai stood and shucked off the rest of her clothes.

Dale panted and rested her hand on her chest. “Do you always eat so fast?”

A crooked grin twisted Mai’s mouth. “Only when I’m starving.” She lifted Dale’s hand and kissed the palm. “Still want to shower?”

Dale nodded and let Mai lead her into the bathroom. Mai turned the shower on. “I’ll give you a minute.” She closed the door, giving Dale privacy while she emptied her bladder. She rolled back the frosted shower door and stepped into the warm spay.

The door opened and Mai joined Dale. Dale wrapped her arms around her. Water flowed over, around, and between them. Dale rubbed her hand over the bar of sandalwood soap and rubbed her hands in slow strokes over Mai’s wide shoulders and back. Mai pressed close. The sensation of her firm curves against Dale’s body set her aflame.

She cupped Dale’s ass with both hands and squeezed. “You’re pretty bossy, you know.”

“I’ve been told.”

Dale rinsed the soap from her hands. Water ran in her eyes as she leaned in and kissed and nibbled Mai’s collarbone. With both hands, she pressed Mai up against the shower tile and pressed her hand between her legs. She used her weight to pin her against the wall.

Mai groaned when Dale teased a finger over her clit. “You’re so slick.” She pushed inside and Mai’s hips lifted. “So eager.” Dale stroked in and out. “But for what I want to do to you, we need more room.”

Mai reached around Dale and shut the taps off.

Dale smirked and eased back. She flicked Mai’s thick brown nipple before she lowered her head and took a long suck.

Mai gasped. “I need to lay down.”

Dale stepped away and rolled the shower door open. After passing a towel to Mai, she picked up her own and dried herself, unable to look away from the tantalizing shimmy of Mai’s breasts as she dried off.

Dale finished drying herself and hung up her towel. She crooked her finger at Mai and left the bathroom with a saucy swing of her hips.

Dale yanked the covers down on the bed. “Make yourself comfortable.”

Mai slid onto the worn cotton sheets. She lay back and pillowed her head on her hands.

Dale moved to the dresser. The bright smell of sulfur filled the room and the flare of a match lit Dale’s features. She cupped the flame and lit a candle on the dresser. The light scent of lavender bloomed as the wax warmed. The flicker of the flame painted shadows on the bedroom wall.

Mai licked her lips, already missing the taste of Dale that had washed away in the shower. Dale’s lips brushed her instep and then her thigh. Her warm breath washed over Mai’s clit as she nuzzled her wet curls.

“You smell good.” Dale thrust her tongue deep and Mai writhed with pleasure. “And taste divine.”

Dale closed her lips around Mai’s clit and sucked gently. “And what a lovely fat clit you have.” She swiped her tongue over Mai and teased the skin back from the tip with her tongue. “You want me to suck you, baby?”

Dale’s voice, low and wanton, flowed over Mai and her clit ached with need.

Dale leaned on her arm and slid two fingers in deep, curling them over Mai’s sweet spot. “Or do you want me to fuck you?”

Mai trembled and her nipples peaked. “Do I have to choose?”

Dale stroked deeper and Mai cried out. “No. But you do have to be quiet.”

She eased her hand free and left the bed. She returned with a bright-red bandana. “This should help. Do you like to play like this?”

Mai eyed the strip of red cloth and mock pouted. “You said you’d use your panties.”

Dale lifted her chin. “Nice answer. Next time. You’ll just have to dream about it. Open.”

Next time. They would be doing this again. Hope, wild and unfettered, trampled Mai’s caution. She opened her mouth and Dale applied the bandana. “If you need me to stop tap my shoulder. Understand?”

Mai nodded her understanding.

Dale kneeled over her, backlit by the candle. “Hands on the headboard.”

Mai slipped her hands under the bottom rail of the scrolled brass headboard and held tight.

“Do you know how long I’ve wanted to do this?” Dale thrust two fingers deep and rubbed the spot that made Mai arch her hips and seek more. She whimpered around her gag. Dale pulled back and thrust in again. “How many times I’ve wanted to bend you over the kitchen table, yank down your pants, and have you? To fuck you until you screamed my name?”

Mai tongued the rough cloth in her mouth, wet now with her saliva. White knuckled, she clung to the headboard and moaned at Dale’s rough-voiced confession as images of Dale taking her filled her mind.

Dale bent and took her clit in her mouth. She sucked languidly, letting Mai’s clit pop from between her lips each time she sucked, the lascivious sound filling Mai’s ears as the sensation rippled through her body.

Her fingers slid in and out as she slow-fucked Mai. Pleasure snaked and curled around her body, filling her; a deep ache built, and she trembled under Dale’s touch.

Dale hummed against her and flicked her clit with her tongue as she added another finger. Mai cried out against the gag, her body tense as a bowstring, nerve endings on fire with sensations. Freedom. Freedom to feel and to let someone else take control of her body and pleasure. Mai moaned her need.

Dale lifted her mouth. “Want to come, baby?”

Mai nodded, her eyes wide.

Dale pinned her in place with her eyes. “Give it to me. Come for me, baby.” She lowered her head and sucked Mai’s clit, bobbing her head with the motion.

Mai gave in and rolled her head from side to side, relishing the freedom of the gag, and floated on waves of bliss as Dale brought her off, not stopping until she had wrung every single bit of pleasure from Mai’s body.

Mai sagged back on the bed. Dale smoothed her hands over her body, soothing her. With swift movements Dale untied the gag and drew it from Mai’s mouth. She kissed her, swallowing the last of Mai’s groans. Mai let go of the headboard and crushed Dale to her.

Dale pressed her forehead to Mai’s. “Are you okay?” She ran her thumb over Mai’s lower lip.

Mai sucked her thumb into her mouth and Dale groaned.

“More?”

Mai panted. “Can’t get enough of you.” She rolled them over until Dale was under her. She rubbed her nose over the silky curve of Dale’s neck and inhaled the scent of her skin. “Think you’re the only one who’s been waiting?” She kissed along Dale’s jaw and the tender skin under her ear. “Do you know how many times I stroked myself to sleep thinking of you?” She whispered against the shell of Dale’s ear. “How many times I wanted to drop to my knees? To have you command me to lick you until you came in my mouth?”

Dale gripped Mai’s hair and tugged her to her mouth and a bruising kiss. Gasping for air, Mai broke their kiss. Dark fires played in Dale’s eyes and made Mai catch her breath. “Do you think you’re the only one who likes to be bound?” Dale’s eyes were bright, her pupils wide.

“Oh, it’s like that, is it?”

Dale panted. “Yes.”

Mai kneeled and picked up the bandana. She gathered it in her hands. Dale held her gaze, her lower lip quivering as Mai drew her hands together and bound them with the damp cloth. She left the bed and drew her belt from her pants. Dale’s soft groan at the sound made Mai’s pulse race.

Once she had bound her hands, Mai stood by the bed and savored the vision of Dale’s body, with her legs splayed, hands tied, nipples stiff. She bent, sucked her nipple, and bit lightly. Dale squirmed and Mai drew the belt over her skin, enjoying the way she arched into her mouth.

“Tie me to the headboard.”

With one hand she lifted Dale’s bound hands over her head and used the belt to secure them to the brass rail.

Mai inhaled sharply, heady from Dale’s request. She passed the flat of her hand over Dale’s body. “Safe word? Or colors? Red to stop, yellow to slow down? Unless you need me to gag you too?”

The corners of Dale’s mouth lifted in a tight smile. “Salt. And I’ve learned to be quiet.”

A flare of jealousy clouded Mai’s thoughts as she pondered who might have had the pleasure of teaching Dale to be quiet.

“No.” Dale’s voice cut into her dark thoughts. “Neither of us come to this innocent or virgins. Don’t dwell on what’s past. We’re here now.”

Mai leaned down and kissed Dale, a slow deep kiss, and the tension left her. Now. They had now. She trailed a finger down over the plump curve of Dale’s breast. “So, what do you like? Besides being tied up.”

Dale lifted her chin and inclined her head toward her chest of drawers. “Look in the top drawer of the dresser.”

Mai left the bed. She pulled open the drawer.

“The box on the left.”

Mai lifted an intricately carved teak wood box from its place. With one hand she opened the lid. White candles and a lighter were nestled together. “Low melt?”

“Of course.” Dale grimaced. “You only make that mistake once.”

Mai frowned and pushed away the unreasonable jealousy bubbling in her chest. She brought the box back to the bed. Dale’s nipples were peaked, her breath uneven, her legs restless.

Mai placed the box on the nightstand. She drew the backs of her fingers over Dale’s belly and then circled her breasts, avoiding her nipples.

Dale panted as Mai ghosted her hands over her skin. “Do it. Now.”

Mai straightened. “Patience.” She picked up a candle and flicked the lighter to light it. The candle wick flamed to life. Mai held the candle up and let a drop of wax fall on Dale’s belly.

Dale closed her eyes and squeezed her legs together. “More,” she rasped.

“Open your legs.”

Dale spread her legs wide. Mai waited a beat, to savor Dale’s trust. With the candle held at an angle, she dripped a line of wax down the center of the deep valley between Dale’s breasts. She hissed and arched her back with her lips pressed together to stifle her moan.

“You love this.” Mai dripped a line of molten wax down the inside of each of Dale’s thighs. She quivered and groaned softly and yanked at her bonds. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, cracking the hardened wax on her chest.

“So much.” Dale’s quiet ragged voice sent a wave of desire straight to Mai’s clit.

Mai grazed the back of her hand over Dale’s clit and her hips rocked up, seeking more. She held the candle high and let a fat drop of wax fall onto one of Dale’s nipples.

Teeth bared, Dale growled and arched her back, digging her heels into the mattress and pushing her breasts toward Mai. Mai dropped a matching drop of wax on Dale’s other nipple.

Dale twisted in her bonds and panted. “Fuck me. Now. Don’t make me wait.”

Mai snuffed out the candle with her fingers and set it aside. “Topping from the bottom? Why am I not surprised?” Using the edge of her nail, Mai flicked at the white wax with a finger and lifted a bit. The skin was pink underneath.

Dale’s eyes were closed, the muscles in her arms taut. Mai drew her fingers over the hard curve of Dale’s bicep and then down along the swell of her breast. The bedsprings creaked as Dale rocked her hips and pressed her legs together.

Her body trembled under her touch. Mai flicked the bit of wax over Dale’s nipples and a sharp hiss split the air. With both hands Mai pressed Dale’s breasts together before she bent her head and licked the tip of Dale’s nipple. She sucked first one and then the other nipple into her mouth and laved them alternately with her tongue.

A guttural moan rattled Dale’s chest. “Oh, fuck. I’m going to come. Fuck me, I want you inside me when I come. Please.”

Mai whispered against her ear. “Finally, the magic word.” She stretched out over Dale and cupped Dale’s wet heat, sliding her fingers over her clit. Dale jutted her hips up and Mai thrust three fingers deep.

Dale locked her legs around Mai’s hips and her lips pulled into a snarl. “Fuck me.”

The rough edge of Dale’s voice laced with desperation made Mai tremble. Desire. Desire to possess Dale rose, thick and needy, and Mai rolled her body into her thrusts as want dripped down her thighs. “Let go, I got you.”

Dale clamped her thighs tightly around Mai’s hips, and thrashed wildly. Her mouth open in a silent scream, she came, her body clutching and squeezing Mai’s fingers.

Mai bit down on the smooth curve of Dale’s shoulder and kept her pace, driving Dale up again, her body opening and welcoming Mai’s thrusts.

“Enough,” Dale whispered as her body sagged and relaxed under Mai.

Mai eased her fingers from Dale. Using her fingers, slick from Dale’s climax, she opened herself and aligned their clits. She closed her eyes against the pleasure and the magical slide of clit on clit as Dale slowly rocked to meet her thrusts. She braced herself on her forearms, caging Dale, and ground against her.

Dale bit her shoulder, her teeth latching tight to the muscle, just short of breaking the skin. She sped up her motions, her body a wild thing under Mai. Electric currents of pleasure whipped through Mai’s body and she pressed her face into the pillow to muffle her shout as she came.
