TONY: Slow Burn (Raging Fire Book 1) by Kallypso Masters (the false prince TXT) 📕

on him if he were inside her. His shaft pulsed as his heart raced faster. “I’m coming!” He squeezed his eyes closed as she sped up her movements. When she released the base of his cock and took him deeper into her mouth, blood pounded in his ears. With a guttural groan, he exploded. Her mouth continued to work his cock, trying to milk every bit she could from his cock. Finally, he was able to open his eyes and saw that she’d tried to swallow every drop, but some had escaped her mouth.

Tony’s chest heaved as he fought for breath. Carm released him with seeming reluctance, then her tongue flicked out to capture a little more of him. “Mmm. Salty.”

Tony kept a firm grip on her hair and tugged her toward him. Soon she was prostrate on the length of him.

“I had no idea you liked salty things so much.”

“And I never realized before how sexy having my hair pulled could be.”

“I’ll keep both in mind.” He framed her face with his hands and plunged his tongue into her mouth tasting the salt of his cum. He wasn’t sure he’d be able to stand right away, but he wanted to hold her close like this a while longer. “To say that was incredible would be a huge understatement.”

“Just wanted to return the favor. I can tell we’re going to have no trouble finding things to do when we aren’t diving this week.”

“You’d better believe it.” Tony leaned in and kissed her passionately.

When they broke apart again, Carm smiled at him. “Let’s go take our showers, then we can continue this in my bed.”

Tony froze. Would he be able to extricate himself from her bed before falling asleep? He hadn’t had a lot of sleep in the past two days and feared a return of the nightmares. Would she feel cheated if he made love to her then left her alone the rest of the night?

On the other hand, did he want to show her how unstable he was and that he was plagued by nightmares almost two months after that bad call?

Tony stiffened, but in all the wrong places. Was she rushing him? He’d just exploded in her mouth a few minutes ago. Maybe he wasn’t ready to go again so soon.

He brushed the hair back from her face. “Let’s shower together, dolcezza, and see where that leads.”

Carm breathed a sigh of relief. She was misreading the signs. Why didn’t men come with a user’s manual?

Carm stood first so that Tony could. Without warning, he scooped her into his strong arms and carried her inside the kitchen before turning around. “Lock the door.” After she did so, he proceeded into the living room and up the stairs to her room. Inside her bedroom, Tony released her legs and let her slide down his body until her feet touched the floor. His erection throbbed against her abdomen while he kissed her again. He definitely didn’t need more time to prepare for round two.

Anxious to feel his cock buried inside her to the hilt, Carm broke the kiss and met his steamy gaze.

“I’ll meet you in the shower, dolcezza. But first I need to grab something from my room.”

What could he need for a shower that wasn’t already in there? Oh, the condoms. Of course! Carm wasn’t sure she’d have remembered protection this week if he hadn’t stayed on top of it.

While he was gone, she turned down the sheets and lit three candles near the bed. The balcony doors remained open from earlier, giving them the best mood music of all and the wonderful scent of the ocean breeze.

Suddenly nervous, she surveyed the room to make sure there was nothing more she could do to set the mood for later. She wanted everything to be perfect for this crucial turning point in their relationship.

She and Tony would soon be making love for the first time.

Carm heard footsteps in the hallway and realized she hadn’t made it into the bathroom yet. But when Tony entered the bedroom, he wasn’t carrying a box of condoms and wore his Bermuda shorts. One look at his face told her something was wrong.

“What’s happened?” She closed the gap between them until she stood barely two feet away from him, giving him some space in case he needed it.

“I’m sorry. My phone lit up with a call from Mama when I went in my room. I didn’t get there in time, but the voicemail she left had me worried. Then I saw there also were messages from Rafe and Angelina. I had to call to see what was going on.”

“What’s wrong?” Did he think she’d be upset that he’d checked his phone when he was supposed to be thinking about rushing back to have sex with her? Italian boys did not ignore calls from their mamas, no matter what.

“Matt’s been injured.”

Oh no! Carm’s heart stopped momentarily, and she took a breath before asking, “How badly?”

He shrugged. “I just got off the phone with Mama, who’s there too. He’s at the emergency department in Leadville. His crew was fighting a residential fire and part of the roof collapsed on him. That’s all I know.” Tony glanced away, looking helpless and lost.

Carm moved in to wrap her arms around him in comfort.

“I hate to leave you hanging like this, Carm, but…”

She pulled back and placed her hands on his cheeks to force him to look at her. “We’re going to wait together all night if need be until you hear something. Go get your phone.”

He pulled it out of his pocket with an apologetic shrug. “I didn’t want to be too far away from updates.”

“Of course not.”

“When Rafe asked how soon I could get there, I told him I’d left the state for the week.” So he hadn’t told them specifically where he was. “I texted back that I’d catch the first flight I could get on if…they need me.” He glanced down at his feet.
