YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE

Alone In Orlando

The Websters accepted the idea Brianne would stay on easily. They had seen the interaction between their young niece and the man she called ‘Josh’.

“We’re glad you’ve met a nice young man.” Aunt Marian told Brianne as she hugged her at the airport.

“Thank you all. If I hadn’t come, I never would have met Josh.”

“I think I should be doing the thanking,” Josh announced as Brianne stepped back and he took her hand. “Not only did I get to meet Janie, I got to meet the whole family.”

“You remember your promise?” Janie asked Josh.

He nodded. “I’ll get copies made of the videos we shot while you were here and get them to you. I’ll send them home with Bree.”

“Thank you, buddy!” Janie gave him a quick hug. “I’m leaving my best friend,” she told him seriously. “Take care of her.”

“I’ll take care of Bree,” he assured her. “You can count on it.”

Carl Webster began to herd his family towards the gate.

“Bye all!” Brianne called.

For a moment, Josh and Brianne watched them.

“Will they tell Jeff you met someone?” he asked.

“I doubt it. Aunt Marian is from Mom’s side of the family. They’re friendly but not close.”

“So he won’t be down here to rescue you from my evil clutches?”

Brianne laughed. “I don’t think so.”

“Good.” He drew her close, nuzzling her neck. “Ready to do some screaming?” he asked huskily.

Lifting her eyes to his, she challenged, “Are you?”

“Actually, I was thinking my house is solid enough we can use my bedroom.”

“Joshua?”

“Yeah, baby?”

“You didn’t answer my question,” she pointed out.

“You never answered mine.”

“I am, if you are.”

“I am definitely ready to spend the entire day in bed with you. We’ll make each other scream, sigh, moan and whatever other noise we feel like making.”

“The entire day?”

“You are all I have planned for today.” He started walking them out of the terminal to his jeep. “You and our mutual pleasure.”

“I hope you plan on having something to eat on hand.” She rolled her eyes when he wiggled his eyebrows at her. “Besides me, silly. If we’re going to go at it all day, we’ll need something to keep our energy levels up.”

“I’ll feed you, angel.”

At the car, he backed her up against the door, his mouth hungry on hers. As their tongues dueled, his hands roamed her backside. Not to be outdone, Brianne dropped her hand to the front of his jeans and rubbed his already aroused flesh through the heavy fabric of his jeans.

Tearing his mouth away, he bit at her neck. “Damn! Baby girl, you are hard on a man’s sanity!”

“You started it,” she reminded him teasingly.

“Yeah, and I’m going to finish it real soon,” he promised.

Lying entwined on his big bed, the couple rested. They didn’t seem to need words. Brianne stroked his hair, his back, his chest, his arms – memorizing him for the lifetime she would be without him. Josh nuzzled and kissed her softly in reply. He was thinking of a future with her in it.

“There’s one thing we haven’t done yet,” Brianne murmured.

Josh gave her a lazy smile. What an innocent! “Actually, there’s a lot we haven’t done yet.”

“Get your mind out of the gutter, Chasez,” she grumbled.

He had to laugh at her sudden blush.

She lifted a hand to his lips; an idyll finger traced his lips. “I’ve never made love to you with my mouth like you have me.”

His tongue came out to flick at her fingertip. “You don’t have to, baby.”

“I want to.”

“Why?”

“Why? I suppose I want to give you all you give me.”

“I’m not keeping score.” It’d be wonderful to have her sweet mouth on him, but he wondered at her comfort level.

“I’m not thinking about score-keeping.” She took her finger and traced his ear. “Why do you do it to me?”

“I want to. I love the taste of you. I want to see you fly for me. It’s exciting to watch.”

“And you think I won’t feel the same?”

“Bree, you’re one surprise after another.” He smiled. Here was any man’s dream embodied: responsive, eager, willing. Add to that the beautiful packaging and she was damn near perfect!

Brianne gently pushed him back to the pillows. “Help me, Josh. Tell me what to do.”

“You’re going to have to find your own style, baby.”

“What turns you on?”

He chuckled and pulled her on top of him. “In a word? You.”

“You aren’t being very helpful.”

Biting tenderly at her sweet spot, her felt her melt. “Touch me, Bree,” he whispered seductively. “Touch me, kiss me, wherever you want to. Find my hot spots. There’s no right or wrong here, angel. Whatever makes us feel good.”

Brianne began with a slow-building kiss. While she kissed him thoroughly, she caressed his neck, his lean torso, his muscled arms. She felt him sink into the pillows, letting her take control of him. Her mouth left his to trail across his cheek to his ear. “This okay?” she whispered as she licked his earlobe then sucked lightly.

“More than okay, baby girl.” His voice was husky with arousal. “You’re a natural.”

From his ear, she moved to his throat and the one place she knew was his hot spot.

Josh moaned, involuntarily thrusting his hips up when she straddled his thighs. She’d just begun to explore him and he was painfully hard.

“Patience, baby,” she murmured. “I’m just getting started. This is why I never got to do this.” Her lips and tongue were covering every inch of his body with wet, tantalizing kisses. “You get in a hurry.”

“You make me lose it,” he told her hoarsely.

“Not this time. This is all for you.”

As she nibbled her way down his treasure trail, her silky hair swept over his body, adding another dimension to her seduction. When it brushed over his hard member, he wanted to grab fists-full and drag her mouth back to his. He wanted to be inside her, plunging endlessly into her tight heat.

“Bree, please—“

With one hand she cupped his sacs, squeezing them ever so gently, then licking them.

“Oh, God, baby!”

She wrapped the fingers of her other hand around his shaft and again his hips lifted. Swirling her tongue around the tip, she collected the dribble of his essence.

Josh hissed at this. He let out a large groan when she licked the sensitive underside from base to tip. “Damn, baby!” If that wasn’t torture enough, his innocent angel took him into her hot mouth, swallowing several times to deep throat him. “Bree!” Did she have any idea how she was destroying him?

Brianne began to suck on him, her tongue dancing along his length as she did.

“Oh, baby, you are so good!” he moaned. “I’m getting there fast…That’s it…” He bucked up, forcing himself deeper. When he felt ready to burst, he reached down to stroke her hair. “Baby—Oh, God!” Josh exploded down her throat.

Brianne continued until he sagged back to the mattress, his body limp and exhausted by his pleasure. She moved up to snuggle against him.

It took Josh several long moments before he opened his eyes. His blue gaze was sated and tender on her face. “I must be the luckiest guy in the world,” he murmured. He brushed the hair back from her face. “I don’t know if anyone has ever known a more giving, talented lover.”

“I have. You.”

He gave her an indolent smile. “Then we’re perfect for each other.”

Perfect for another six days, she thought realistically.

“Bree, you have to be mine.”

“I am yours.”

“No. I mean forever. You have to be mine forever.”

“That’s a long time.”

“At a hundred and one, I’ll still love you like I do now, still crave you.”

“How can you be so sure?”

He bent his head to press his lips against the spot between her breasts where her heart lie. “In here. We don’t even have to talk. Our hearts communicate.”

“Sweet Joshua…” she sighed. Holding his head against her breast, she stroked his longish hair.

“Bree, it kills me inside to think you’ll leave. You’re my world.”

“No—“

“Don’t tell me it’s not true. If you’d admit it to yourself, you’d know it is. If it weren’t true, you would have left Orlando this morning.”

Damn! His vulnerability was more devastating than any other argument he could have used. The words ‘I love you’ actually tried to get passed her lips, but she refused to utter them. They had known each other less than a week. They had both come off of disastrous relationships, leaving their hearts scarred. She couldn’t base the rest of her life on a Florida vacation complete with a whirlwind romance!

Josh released a big sigh. Looking down, Brianne saw he had fallen asleep, safe in her arms, his head pillowed on her breast. How could anyone have treated such a sweet, loving man badly? She had read some of the press, and had once or twice seen Josh and his former girlfriend together on television. The woman seemed to hold herself apart from Josh. Brianne hadn’t managed to hold herself apart from Josh for a few hours! They had met around ten, left the club before eleven – and had been in bed by three!

“Mmm…Bree…” Josh purred in his sleep, snuggling his face into her flesh as his arms tighten about her.

Oh, God! What was she going to do in a week’s time?
