“Baby, we don’t have to do anything you’re not ready for,” he said in an even voice. “I just want to be withyou.”
Noosh nodded and she felt tears spring into her eyes. In a minute,she thought,I’m going to wake up and find I’ve dreamed all this. That we didn’t find each other, that we didn’t get solucky…
But it wasn’t a dream, and when Christo walked her up to his apartment, she could feel her entire body yearning for his touch. In his spacious open concept apartment, he took her coat and then wrapped his arms around her, gazing down at her. “Hello again,” he said softly, “I’mChristo.”
“Anoushka…Noosh.”
“Noosh…” His lips were firm against hers and his hands stroked down her sides. “Noosh, wanna get naked withme?”
She gave a moan of pure desire, and he swept her up into his arms. Noosh’s injured back protested, but she didn’t care. She wanted this man as much as he clearly wantedher.
In his bedroom – all muted navy blues and greys, and hand-turned furniture – he laid her on the bed and slowly began to unbutton her dress, pushing the fabric aside and kissing every inch of exposed skin. As he pulled down the lacy cup of her bra and fixed his mouth on her nipple, Noosh closed her eyes, drawing in a long breath. God, the way his tongue flicked around the little nub, making it hard and so sensitive she could have cried. He worked his way down her body, his mouth on each breast, but as he reached her belly hestopped.
“What’sthis?”
Noosh didn’t even need to look. He had seen the scars, and now there was no other way but to tell him the truth. “Those are the scars from mysurgery.”
Christo looked up at her. “These arebulletwounds.”
She nodded. “I was shot. Someone broke into my home and shot me as Islept.”
Christo made his way up the bed, gazing into her face, the horror in his eyes searing. “What thefuck?”
Noosh didn’t know what to say. “Some random…guy…decided he wanted to kill someone that night, and I was unlucky.” So, she was lying, she knew who had shot her, but from the anger on Christo’s face, she knew she could never tell him. How was it that this man cared so much about heralready?
“Jesus…” He traced the scars. “So that was your accident?” She nodded. “How longago?”
She tried to smile. “About two weeks after wemet.”
Christo stroked her cheek. “God…Noosh…I’m sosorry.”
She moved closer to him, her bare skin pressing against his still clothed body. “It’s over now, I’m healed. Healing…” She amended, and hesighed.
“How are you? Really? Because I don’t want us to go too far and risk yourhealth.”
She sighed and nodded. “I am still getting there, and I do have problems with my back still. The docs have told me it will get better, butyes…”
“I told you we didn’t have to do anything, that I’m happy to wait.” Christo pressed his mouth to hers, his kiss leaving herbreathless.
“Just touch me…please,” she murmured against his mouth and felt his lips curve up in asmile.
“It would be my pleasure, ma’am.” He rolled her onto her back, making sure she was comfortable. “You just lay back and let me do all thework…”
He began his journey down her body again, kissing her throat, her breasts, her belly until his fingers snagged in the sides of her panties and drew them gently down herlegs.
As soon as his tongue touched her clit, Noosh shivered with pleasure. This man was clearly an expert, his tongue lashing around her clit before dipping into her cunt. Noosh forgot about her back pain, forgot about everything except him, and as she neared a shattering orgasm, she cried out his name over andover.
As she caught her breath, Christo quickly stripped his clothes off and cradled her in his arms, his lips against hers. She could feel his huge cock, hard against her belly. “I want to taste you,baby.”
She moved down his body and took his cock into her mouth, sweeping her lips over the wide crest, licking up the salty pre-cum, and trailing her tongue up and down the thick length of it and over the sensitive tip. God, she wanted him inside her, but until her back healed some more, she knew it would hurt like hell – and not in a goodway.
She hollowed out her cheeks as she sucked him, then swallowed his seed down as he came, groaning and bucking beneath her. As he caught his breath, he pulled her into his arms. “God, Noosh…thank god we found each otheragain.”
She kissed him. “Thank god, indeed.” She snuggled into his arms, again feeling how perfectly their bodies seemed to fit together. She chuckled a little, and he smiled down ather.
“What?”
“Just…we don’t know anything about each other, and yet this feels so…natural.”
