JUDE: Book 2 The Justice Brothers Series Read online

  From his chair he pointed to the hot tub that was sending a bubbly chorus of invitation to her wanton body. “Take off your clothes, Skylar.”

  Sky jumped, shocked at his calm order. Forcing herself to take a deep breath, she determined to respond as casually as he had. Even so, her voice shook when she gave him a flippant smile. “Why should I?”

  His cunning grin would have made Lucifer himself proud. Sitting up straighter in his chair, he said dispassionately, “For two reasons. The first being because I told you to.”

  Sky’s stomach took a nosedive into her groin at his peremptory command. It somersaulted wildly when he added, “The second reason is because I’ve thought about nothing since last night except how I intend to feast on your beautiful body.”

  Chapter 25

  Jude continued to consider her through narrowed eyes, a slight smile tugging at his lips. After a long moment he gestured to her top. “Your t-shirt, Sky. Off. Now.”

  Skylar rose to her feet and tried to swallow. It wasn’t easy to do given that every bit of saliva in her mouth had disappeared. Staring at him, she bit down hard on her bottom lip, determined to keep it from quivering. Grasping the hem of her t-shirt with her shaky fingers, she managed to pull it over her head. Striving for nonchalance she dropped it to the floor and shrugged.

  His smile as he perused her lacy white bra was her reward. “Good choice, darlin’. Now, take it off.”

  Somehow Sky managed to reach behind her and unfasten the unwieldy hook. Holding the scraps of lacy material against her breasts for a moment, she bit down on her bottom lip, then let her bra drop to the floor next to her shirt. She forced herself to meet his eyes as she stood up straight, determined not to cower before his searching gaze.

  He nodded slowly as he studied her. “You have extraordinary breasts, Skylar. They are as close to perfect as I have ever seen.”

  His smile quirked up at her relieved sigh.

  Embarrassed, she felt the heat rise to her cheeks. She longed to cover her breasts with her hands, but as if anticipating her, Jude shook his head. “Uh-uh, baby. Let me feast on them with my eyes.” He smiled softly. “Look at your nipples, Sky. They’re hardening into tight, hard berries from my gaze alone. Imagine what they’ll do when I lick them and suck on them.”

  At her soft moan he said, “Lift up your breasts for me, baby. Present them to me.” When she tentatively obeyed, cupping her breasts in her shaking hands, he acknowledged her with a pleased nod and added, “Now, tug on your nipples, Sky. Make them hard, long, the way I will with my lips and my teeth.”

  His commanding tone didn’t allow her to refuse or to look away as she longed to do. Instead, her fingers shaking, she lifted her breasts higher. They felt full, achy. At his restless nod, she tugged on her nipples, making them longer, harder. She gasped at the intense pleasure.

  “Now, Sky, pinch them. Right on the ends. Like that, baby. Harder, darlin’.”

  At her shuddered gasp, he leaned forward in his chair and opened his knees, revealing the heavy bulge pulsing between his legs. His eyes flaring emerald hard, his voice was silky soft. Stroking his erection, he said, “Look at what you’re doing to me, Skylar. My cock is throbbing. Do you have any idea how much I want you? And intend to have you?”

  Skylar didn’t know how much longer she could stand in front of him without trying to cover herself, when he upped the ante.

  Motioning to her trousers, he said, “Take off your pants, sweetheart.”

  Sky took a deep breath, then kicked off her sandals. Her fingers felt sausage-thick, unwieldy. Thank God her cargo pants hung loosely on her body. Once she got the buttons undone they fell easily to her ankles. As daintily as she could, she stepped out of the sturdy trousers and stood before him naked, with only her white satin and lace thong to shield her mons.

  Glancing at him, she saw that his smile had disappeared. The crease in his cheek had deepened and his jaw was rigid. He looked as intense as she felt. Knowing what she was about to do, Skylar prayed harder than she’d prayed in her life. Unsnapping the closure on the thong that Hailey had insisted she buy after they left the spa, she flipped the thong away from her body. With a saucy shrug she tossed it over her shoulder and stood before him.

  Jude’s eyes widened. He blew out a long, low breath that was more of a whistle. “Damn baby. You’re…bare.”

  Sky remembered her horror when she first saw her hairless intimate lips in the mirror. They were puffy, a soft pink color and…so visible. Sky’s stomach clutched in a hard knot. The sizzling sensations coursing through her groin reminded her that after she’d gotten over her shock she’d decided that her bare pussy looked sexy, almost wanton. Now forcing herself to meet Jude’s eyes, she conjured up as much spit as her desert-dry mouth could create and breathed a shaky exhalation. “Is…is it okay?”

  She held her breath when Jude rose slowly to his feet. His eyes were narrowed, hard to read as he advanced on her. His jaw was rigid and a slight tic flickered beside his eye. He devoured the distance between them in seconds. Looming over her his voice was gruff, gravelly. “Yeah, honey, it is…okay.”

  A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth and his eyes gleamed wicked emerald slits. His soft laugh sent seductive fissions of electricity up her spine as he tipped up her chin and stared into her eyes. “But, then I won’t know just how okay until I get close enough to observe all the changes to your beautiful cunt when I focus my attention on it.”

  Her libido slammed into overdrive when he picked her up in his arms and held her against his pounding erection. She hadn’t realized that she’d been holding her breath until he chuckled and said, “Take a breath, darlin’. I don’t want you to faint on me until at least your fifth orgasm.”

  He strode toward the hot tub. “Here baby. How about I put you in here? I don’t want you to get cold. And hell, sweetheart, I have waaaay too many clothes on to enjoy your nakedness.”

  He set her down gently on the edge of the bubbling water. With a grateful sigh, Skylar slid into the fragrant warmth and leaned back against the padded edge. She closed her eyes and allowed the warm water to caress her aching breasts and sensitive nipples. The prickly bubbles surging between her legs sent electric sparks of heat across her pussy. She didn’t realize that she had moaned until she heard Jude’s knowing chuckle.

  She looked up to see him watching her, a soft smile quirking is lips. “You think that feels good, Sky? Wait until I get inside of you and let you feel how hot I am for you.”

  He made a production of opening another bottle of wine. Filling both of their glasses, he handed one to her and raised his in a toast. “To you, my beautiful, courageous lover.”

  Jude took a large swallow of the burgundy liquid then set the glass on the table. Sky’s breath hitched in her throat when he reached for the bottom of his t-shirt and yanked it over his head. She swallowed hard at the sight of his broad shoulders and muscular arms. A dusting of dark curly hair decorated his chest and arrowed down his flat abs and belly. Not an inch of fat marred his powerful body. He bent down and shucked off one scuffed boot, then the other before reaching for the buttons on his jeans.

  Skylar had given up taking deep breaths, instead she sucked in as much air as her tight chest would permit, praying she didn’t faint. She should have been afraid. He was so big he dwarfed the space in front of her. But it was the glint in his narrowed eyes and sensuous smile that shot raw desire through her aching cunt. He opened one button then the next. Shoving his tight jeans over his narrow hips, he leaned over to push them to the floor. When he rose to his full height his fearsome cock sprang forward, thick and hard, reaching almost to his navel. Sky gritted her teeth to keep from crying out. Pressing her legs together, sure that he could see her bare pussy swelling in anticipation, she closed her eyes and drank in his seductive masculine scent.

  Jude slid into the tub, grateful for the rush of water rolling over his aroused body. He eased next to Skylar, conscious of how small and fragile she was. Jesus,
if he wasn’t careful he could crush her. That caution fled upon catching a glimpse of her bare pussy. Holy Christ, he’d never believed that she would heed his warning that he wanted her bare. The fact that she had done something that must have frightened her to please him shot a surge of heat to his already throbbing cock. He hadn’t known if she would be able to handle him. He admitted that he liked his sex raw, rough, down and dirty. But he wasn’t adverse to sensuous, slow sex—as long as he was in charge, calling the shots.

  He draped a big arm around her shoulders and pulled her next to him. Leaning down, he

  tilted her head back, opening her throat to his lips. Running his tongue around the shell of her ear, he reveled in her startled moan. Nipping at the soft skin below her ear, he bit the tender lobe. Not content to woo her with soft kisses, he thrust his tongue deep into her mouth demanding that she respond. “Open your mouth, Skylar. Wider. Let me in, baby.”

  When she capitulated and met his thrust with a whimpering cry, he groaned a hard male sound. Not satisfied, he lifted her up and sat her on top of him. Spreading her legs, he pressed her bottom against his hard cock, straddling her thighs over his hips. Her soft, moist pussy against his burgeoning cock was too much and not enough. He had to have her—now. He sat up straight and positioned her so that he could see her face. Looking into the deep pools of her eyes ringed with purple, Jude managed a raspy command. “I need you, Sky and I’m going to take you now. But I want you in my bed. Under me and over me. Do you understand?”

  At her sobbing moan, he persisted. “But baby, I’m warning you. I’m not going to hold back. And sweetheart, the only thing want you to do is feel, turn off that active brain of yours. Do you think you can do that, baby? Just feel? Give into me?”

  Seeing her hesitation, he pinned her with his demanding gaze. “Tell me, Sky. Tell me that you’re ready to give into all those sexy, wild feelings that have been dormant in that passionate body of yours.”

  Her lip trembled and she met his hard stare. “I don’t know if I can, Jude.” She hesitated then murmured, “To be honest, I don’t think I can.”

  He held her away from him, making her look at him. Smothering a grin, he said, “Hmm, what a good girl you are to be so honest.”

  She shook her head, her eyes filling with tears. “I’m scared, Jude. I don’t want to disappoint you.”

  “Oh darlin’, that’s not possible.” He rose to his feet holding her tightly against him. He murmured in her ear, delighted at her sexy whimper. As he strode into the bedroom, he said, “Honey I don’t want to scare you, but I also don’t want to fight that brain of yours. So that means I’m going to have to tie you down.”

  She struggled against him but couldn’t stop the shiver that shook her body. He chuckled and murmured in her ear, “Oh darlin’, admit it. The idea of me tying you to the bed and not allowing you to do anything but feel is turning you on.”

  Spiced by the power of taking her in every way he could had his cock throbbing against his gut. Jude laid her on the bed and secured both of her hands above her head with one of his. Before she could resist, he dragged a long tie from one of the bedposts and slipped the cuff over her wrist. Quickly reaching for the other tie, in seconds he had her tightly secured, her arms spread-eagled above her head, flat against the bed. At her surprised cry and useless attempt to jerk free, Jude climbed over her, straddling her hips with his strong thighs. Holding her chin in one hand, he shook his head.

  “Uh-uh, darlin’, don’t fight me. Just give in to the desire that has turned those incredible eyes of yours dark with passion. And if you are very good, I won’t tie your legs or blindfold you. At least not this first time.”

  At her outraged wail, he laughed, a seductive sound, and leaned down to kiss her. She tossed her head from side to side, fighting to avoid his lips. He held her chin more tightly and pressed his mouth against hers, keeping her immobilized. He played with her lips, nipping at the corners, then running his tongue across the seam, he forced her mouth open. Thrusting his tongue deep inside her mouth he tangled with hers. With a hard groan, she gave in to his brutal kiss and began to kiss him back, her teeth clashing against his.

  Minutes later, Jude rose up on his knees and gazed down at her flashing eyes and flushed cheeks. Moving back, he gazed at her breasts and breathed in the heady scent of arousal emanating from her body. He shook his head in wonder staring at her bare pussy. Her folds were swollen and turning a deep rosy color before his eyes. He longed to delve into the moist recesses and taste her heady sweetness.

  Looking up, he saw her staring at him, her eyes dark with concern. He sought to reassure her. “Goddamn, Skylar. Do you have any idea how beautiful you are? Your cunt is literally glistening. Thank you, darling, for baring yourself to me. I know it scared you but you were willing to do it to please me. It’s an incredible gift, Sky, for both of us!”

  He added, “I promise you, baby, when I bury my tongue and lips in your gorgeous pussy and lap up all the erotic juices shining on those puffy lips, and then suck your clit, you’ll be begging me for more.”

  He reared back and focused on her breasts, allowing a devious smile to cross his lips. “But before I do that, I need to take care of these. What should I do, Skylar, with your beautiful breasts?”

  She tossed her head and arched her back bringing her breasts closer to his eager mouth.

  “Tell me darlin’. Should I pinch your nipples? Suck on them? Bring you to orgasm with my tongue, my teeth?”

  At her passionate cry, he groaned and leaned down to kiss her. “I know, baby. How about I do all of those things? And when I’m done, then I’ll turn to your luscious cunt and show you ecstasy in more ways than you knew existed.”

  Chapter 26

  Waking out of a fog, Skylar tried to move. For a split second she thought she was still tied to the bed. She breathed a soft sigh, relieved that it was Jude’s strong arms holding her, not the silken cuffs. She surreptitiously moved against him, wanting to be even closer to his strong body. Until Jude, she’d never slept all night with a man. Certainly had never woken snuggled in his arms. Basking in the feel of his muscular body and masculine scent of the gorgeous specimen beside her, she allowed herself to think back on their passionate night.

  She was stunned that she’d allowed him to tie her to the bed. But then, it wasn’t as if she’d had a choice. Her cheeks flamed as she remembered the sensation of being bound to the bed, helpless to ward off his egregious advances. Unbidden, a surge of excitement flooded her nether regions, confirming that it wasn’t just her cheeks that were hot at the memory. Sky knew she should be embarrassed and probably alarmed that just as Jude had intended, tying her to the bed had driven her desire higher and more passionate than she dreamed was possible.

  Dear God, did she truly get off on his arrogance, his dominance? She snorted to herself. As if that were news. From the first time she’d met him, his strength, and yes, his arrogance, had tripped her fuses. She’d tried to ignore the effect he had on her. But it was hopeless. All he had to do was to pin her with that commanding gaze and her cunt turned to mush. She startled at her silent admission. Good Lord, listen to her. She’d never so much as said the word ‘pussy’, at least to describe a woman’s genitals, and now here she was referring to her own genitalia as a cunt.

  Sliding her hand between her legs, she marveled at her bared mons. She didn’t know which had been more courageous, deciding to do it, or calling Hailey to get her advice. With her spectacular figure and long blond hair, Hailey was often dismissed as a bimbo. Those who did so suffered from their ignorance. Hailey was young, a rookie cop, and had California beach bunny written all over her. While she was all those things, she was also wise, proud, funny, and generous. Seeing the interesting woman beneath Sky’s oddly configured persona, along with Jared, Hailey had adopted Skylar as a friend and confidant.

  When Sky called her asking how and if she could do something so brazen, Hailey’s matter of fact response was balm on Skylar’s disjoint
ed spirit. Not only did Hailey have a recommendation, but she accompanied Sky to the Simply Perfect Spa for her own monthly wax which Hailey said included every part of her body. After taking care of the front of her, the technician calmly pointed to Sky’s butt cheeks and in her “technical” lingo told Sky to “spread ’em”, ensuring that there wasn’t a hair anywhere, back or front, to spoil the view. Any embarrassment Sky had felt and her reluctance to look in the mirror, horrified at what she had done, vanished at the expression on Jude’s face when she removed her thong. She would never forget his look of wonder mixed with hard-core lust. Even more surprising was his gratitude that she’d done it for him. Now that she was getting accustomed to it she admitted that while she liked the bareness, she also liked the confirmation of her daring. Jude was right. She was a bit of a rebel!

  It was a darn good thing that she was, because he had subjected her to multiple rounds of lovemaking that she’d not known were possible. Good God, before Jude, Sky barely knew that she had a clitoris, much less one that he could torment in so many ways. As he had done with her nipples, he played with the sensitive nub causing it to swell and harden. He used his teeth and his tongue, driving her from one exhilarating climax to another. At one point when she was screaming for release he bit down on the swollen nub, sending her careening over a mountainside of pleasure that she would remember for the rest of her life.

  But it wasn’t only her clitoris that he had worked. She mistakenly assumed he was done when he untied her. Foolish woman that she was, she thought she couldn’t get any hotter until he tipped her over and ordered her to get up on her hands and knees. Trapping her beneath his big, hard body, he held her in place with one arm. With his free hand he smacked her bottom, hard. Startled and appalled, Skylar fought to free herself.
