Dare to Tease: A Dare Nation Novella by Carly Phillips (best novels for students .txt) 📕

Desire beat heavily inside him, and when he glanced down and saw how wet she was, he nearly lost his mind. He held her gaze, unable to look away as he braced his hands above her shoulders, set his cock at her entrance, and easily slid inside.

Her inner walls clasped him tight, warm heat surrounded him, and in that instant, he knew she was different than any woman he’d been with before. Not a socialite his parents paraded in front of him and not someone without substance and depth. Smart, quick, witty, and her body made for him, Brianne Prescott was the whole package. And he intended to make her his.

Starting by claiming her now. He pulled out and thrust back in deep, causing her to cry out in surprise. She dug her nails into his back and arched her hips as each drive inside her was harder and deeper than the last. Their skin grew slick with sweat, and it didn’t take long for his balls to draw up and need to hit him hard, but he refused to come without her.

From the way she ground her sex against his pubic bone, she was close. Needing to speed things up while at the same time not wanting this moment to end, he eased a hand between them and slid his finger over her clit, rubbing the tiny bud with his thumb.

“Jesus, Hudson!” Her hips bucked, and she trembled beneath his hand, and soon she was coming, her slick inner walls clasping him tight, bringing him higher.

Her nails scored his back, and he knew he’d have marks, not that he cared. Just then, a strong wave hit him, and he drove into her hard, over and over, pressing her against the bed as he emptied himself in a climax that seemed to go on forever.

He collapsed on top of her with the feeling that something inside him had shifted, and there was no going back to who he’d been. A guy satisfied on his own with occasional stress relief.

Now he was a man who wanted this one woman by his side.

Bri stretched her well-used body, knowing she was going to be sore tomorrow and love every minute of the reminder of her time with Hudson. She watched as he strode to the bathroom, taking in his lean but muscular form and his adorably pale behind. She didn’t think he’d appreciate her assessment of his ass, so she kept those feelings to herself.

He rejoined her and lifted the covers so they could both get under them. Snuggling against him, she laid her head on his shoulder and let out a sigh.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“That was a happy sigh,” she explained. She didn’t know what it was about Hudson, but she felt comfortable with him, like she could let her guard down and just be herself.

“Good,” he said, pulling her tighter against him. “So I have to ask. How is it that some athlete you represent hasn’t snatched you up by now?”

Glad they couldn’t make eye contact during this conversation, instead she focused on her hand drawing circles on his chest. “Well, because they are athletes, probably. I put up a big DO NOT TOUCH sign. Well, I give out those signals, anyway. I learned my lesson over the years, and my trust level isn’t all that high.”

“Hmmm.” She felt the rumble in his throat vibrate through him. “Would you explain?”

She shrugged. Why not, when she trusted him more than any man she’d ever met? “Let’s put it this way. I tried dating athletes since that’s who I gravitated to and met through my family, but it turned out most men went out with me as a means to an end. They wanted an in with Austin, the agent, or Damon and Jaxon, the athletes.”

“Assholes,” Hudson muttered.

She grinned. “I appreciate your outrage on my behalf.” She drew in a deep breath and let it out before continuing. “So then I tried dating a regular guy. I met him at the coffee shop near the office. He paid for my coffee; we shared a table and hit it off. I figured I was dating a salesman who didn’t want anything to do with sports.”

“And?” He tangled his fingers in her hair, tugging on the strands as he twisted the long pieces.

“He turned out to sell energy drinks and wanted Damon to endorse the company’s newest product. Austin, as Damon’s agent, had already turned him down, but he figured I’d have more of an in, being his sister and his publicist. At that point, I pretty much swore off men.”

“You deserve someone who wants you for you. For all the special qualities that you bring to the table.” His voice came out like a low rumble, and the gruff sound turned her on despite the fact that she’d just come harder than she ever had in her life.

“Care to name those qualities?” she asked, teasing him.

“Are you searching for a compliment?” He pulled her on top of him, and their bodies aligned, his soft cock beginning to harden against her stomach.

She let out a soft laugh. “What woman wouldn’t want to hear all her positive traits?”

“Hmm. Well, you’re beautiful and intelligent.”

Heat rose to her cheeks at the compliments. “Do go on.”

He wrapped his hands around her lower back, his fingers resting on her rear end. “You’re sexy, you have a great sense of humor, and you know your worth. All things I admire about you.”

Her heart softened at his words, and she knew she was falling hard and fast for Hudson Northfield. “And you’re the first person to see past my family. The only guy who is with me for me. You don’t want or need anything from me, and I appreciate that more than you know.”

Her lips slid over his, and soon he was back in charge, giving her deep, drugging kisses that had her head spinning and her body
