BETWEEN CLOUDS AND STARS: A Sexy Standalone Romance by Sharlyn G. Branson

head and stared at me. “You want to dominate and be in control.”
    I stared back, batting my eyelashes, and provocatively covered his nipple with my lips, gently sank my teeth in it, and began sucking it. A sound of pleasure escaped from deep within his throat. His body shook uncontrollably. Fast as lightning, I unbuckled his belt and opened the zip of his trousers, which slipped down to his knees. I pulled down the elastic waistband of his boxers and released his rock-hard dick. His manhood was truly impressive.
    I beat a path of kisses down his hard abs and further down to his navel. I knelt in front of him, wrapping my fingers around his cock. Nick grabbed my hair and pulled it hard. His desperate need for release was clearly written on his face.
    I licked the drop of pre-cum that had appeared on his cock’s wide, pink head. It had an amazing taste. I moaned softly, remembering how sublime he’d made me feel when he’d been deep inside me.
    “You’re amazing, babe. That’s exactly what I need.” His lips quivered.
    Slowly, I took in his cock’s full length. It was extremely aroused, trembling in anticipation. Its veins were markedly bulging from the erection. I started to suck him off, simultaneously moving my hand up and down the shaft. Nick’s lips parted, his head dangled back, and he gripped my hair hard in his fist. The pain I felt seemed to slide down to my loins, making me even wetter. I sucked him harder, unable to get enough of him. I gave it all I had, overwhelmed by the whirlwind of passion. I wanted to drain every last drop and make him feel on top of the world. My aim was to take all the weight off his shoulders by making him come.
    Nick used his other hand to sweep aside the locks of hair that had fallen in front of my face so he could watch me. I looked up and met his gaze, which was clouded with desire.
    “Fuck,” he growled when I pressed my lips a little harder over his cock’s head, caressed him with my tongue and sucked him hard. I took him deep into my mouth until the tip reached the back of my neck. Sweet shivers ran along my spine, seeing how I managed to give him pleasure, how he trembled under the touch of my lips. This turned me on so much it hurt. I slid the fingers of my other hand between my thighs and started to masturbate.
    “Fuck, Estelle. You’re so fucking sexy, baby,” he hissed through his teeth. His balls tightened and then released under the touch of my other hand. Keeping his eyes locked on me, Nick started to squirt into my mouth. I swallowed a few times, but the amount of sperm spraying out of him was so great that some trickled down from the corners of my mouth. Seeing the manifestation of his pleasure, the latest orgasm engulfed me, and waves of ecstasy erupted and washed all over my body. I sucked out the very last drop from his throbbing cock and licked my lips.
    Nick pulled me up to stand with him, embraced me, and together we collapsed on the sofa, breathless from the phenomenal culmination.
    Who could’ve guessed I’d feel so uninhibited? But Nick made me feel beautiful and desired. I saw it in his eyes, in his manner. I pressed myself tighter against him. I rested my cheek on his chest and in relaxed exhaustion listened to his powerful heartbeat.
    “You’re everything I’ve ever dreamed of, Estelle, and so much more.” His palms gently stroked my back.
    “And I thought it was all for your mother’s benefit.” I slipped my leg between his, nestling even closer to him.
    “Well, it all began because of her. But I won’t hide it—the moment I laid my eyes on you in that presentation, I wanted to make you mine.”
    Mine… God, that word had the power to make me melt. I felt really pleased, but at the same time, fear crept into my mind. Fear that once his infatuation with me evaporated, I’d be left a complete wreck. Losing him would destroy me, but I still wanted to experience every moment with Nick that fate had in store for me. Because even if we
