Page 44 of Riptide

Sexual energy sizzled in the air. Kaimana released an audible sigh as Seth licked her clitoris and slid both his finger and the toy deep inside her at the same time.

“Don’t stop,” she grunted as she tilted her hips upward, relishing in every broad stroke of his tongue. Kaimana bit her lower lip and struggled not to scream his name.

“This is just the beginning,” Seth promised. “You wanted to be claimed so claim you I shall. And everyone will watch.”

Relentless, he added another finger, teasing her sensitive strip of nerves. His thumb circled around her swollen clit as he dragged his tongue through her folds. Kaimana’s legs shook in response, her entire body tensed as her climax crashed into her. She screamed, her chest heaving for breath.

“Oh God. Yes, fuck me. Oh my God,” she panted, her knees still wide open.

“Later,” she heard him promise.

She blinked her eyes open to find her masked lover between her legs, his fingers still stroking the last tendrils of her orgasm from her body. Though his face remained hidden behind the mask, there was no denying the heated expression in his eyes.

“I’m going to fuck you so hard you will never forget who you belong to,” he promised, his voice laced with sex.

“I’ve never done anything like that before,” she confessed, breathless, as his fingers slid out of her.

Confusion swam in her mind. She’d climaxed in front of prying eyes. Though tempted to run, she’d been turned on, her body ripe with arousal.

Kaimana gasped as he took her hands and helped her to stand. She melted into his arms, her body next to his. Though her feet were firmly set upon the ground, she swore she was floating. God, she was falling for this man. It would never be enough to have him for a day or two. Intoxicated with desire, she’d lost control. He’d push her limits, hard and fast…and she’d begged him for more.

A rush of air escaped her as he slowly pulled away and set his eyes on hers.

“Let’s dip.” Seth set off down the path.

Kaimana held Seth’s hand as they whipped through the maze. While various actors dressed in costumes doled out gifts and drinks, she paid no mind, only focused on escaping the labyrinth. As they rounded a corner, a voice grew louder, and they came to an abrupt stop.

Garrett appeared out of the shadows. “I need to talk to you.”

Kaimana released Seth’s hand as he turned to him. With her back to his, she kept close, watching as bodies moved through the bamboo. Her nerves stood on edge, uneasy with the confined space. Her heart raced as claustrophobia crept into her mind.

She forced a deep breath as a large group of partygoers turned the corner. Dressed as birds, their brightly feathered wings brushed over Kaimana’s arms. She backed up against the bamboo wall to let them pass. Distracted by the flock she watched as they fluttered down the path. As she went to turn back to find Seth, the familiar devil masked stranger caged her against the bamboo.

Kaimana glared at the shirtless man and glanced to Seth who had stepped just out of reach. “Drew, is it?”

“I am not Drew.” He inched his mask closer to hers.

“Who are you then?” Kaimana’s heart pounded in her chest, fear coursing through her. She considered calling out to Seth but refused to blow her cover.

“I’m whoever you want me to be. Hmm.” He leaned toward her neck and sniffed.

“I’m with someone,” she stated, her voice cold but calm.

“I thought you were in the lifestyle.”

“I’m a voyeur,” she said in an attempt to get him to go.

“From the looks of things, you’re more of an exhibitionist.” He released one hand to put it on her shoulder. “I enjoyed the show although I would have loved to have seen more.”

Kaimana’s skin crawled at his touch, and she curled her fingers into a tight fist. Tempted to punch him, she forced herself to stay in character. Don’t break cover. “Like I said, I’m with someone. I’m not looking for any new partners. Just here for a little fun tonight.”

“Maybe you just haven’t had the right man to make you want to play with others. I’d like to see more of you but without that mask you’re wearing, I’ve only seen your brown eyes…they’re brown, aren’t they?” he asked. “You should take it off and have a little fun. I bet you have beautiful lips.”

“As I said, I’m not interested. Enjoy the party.” Kaimana pushed away from him, but he caught her wrist and pinned it above her head.

“Let me go.” She tugged at her arm, flashes of her kidnapping tearing through her mind.

“Hmm…you like it rough, then?”
