Blue Lines(36)

It was like she was mind-fucking him with her exquisite body.

But Piper was completely and utterly off-limits. Even if she was so fucking vivacious that she made his dick harder than a frozen puck, he had to stay away. He couldn’t hurt her any more than he already had. If he gave in to his desires for her, there was no telling what would happen. He knew it wasn’t in his genetic makeup to be a one-woman man and he wouldn’t put her through that. He couldn’t.

Leaning forward into his game chair, he dropped the controller and let his face fall into his open hands. He sat like that for a long time as he tried to regulate his breathing. Any other female, he could fuck them and leave them, no problem at all. But ever since he sank himself into Piper’s body, a day hadn’t gone by where he didn’t think of her. It scared him to his core, and it made no sense.

Piper scared him.

And the ticking time bomb she carried inside her scared him even more.

He wasn’t father material! Why was God playing this cruel joke on him? He could barely remember to take care of his dog, let alone be the father to his precious child. He was happy his parents were moving to Nashville, because they would be a great help with taking care of the baby, but he knew he couldn’t just pass the kid off and not be there for him. That’s exactly what his dad would have done, and he needed to be stronger, he needed to be more involved and caring, not abusive like his old man.

Shaking his head, he couldn’t help but think that if only he had stayed away from Piper from the start he wouldn’t be in this situation. He knew when he first met her that she was going to break him; he would’ve bet his career on that. When he saw her at Wanna B’s he was drawn to her like a magnet and he couldn’t stop himself … his body wanted her no matter what his mind was telling it.

Stupid penis.

Leaning back in his chair, he started to smile. Even if his penis was stupid for getting into bed with Piper, he had to admit it was by far the best night he had ever had with a woman. At the time he didn’t think she was going to ask him up to her apartment—thank God she did. The entire evening they had been all hot and heavy, and he remembered thinking that he would die if she didn’t ask him to spend the night. She was the good girl, the sweet one out of all the Allen girls, but man, she was a different type of sweetness between the sheets. Thinking back on it he could still feel her soft skin under his rough hands. She was a dream and he was starting to think it was natural for him to still want her.

Closing his eyes, he found himself drifting back to that amazing night with her.

Holding on to her hips, Erik followed Piper up the stairs to her studio apartment. She threw the door open and leaned against it as he entered. He noticed the bright blue walls but only because he was looking for the nearest soft surface to lay her on—the couch was calling him. The door clicked behind him and he turned to find her looking up at him with gorgeous lust-filled eyes. He had been so attracted to her eyes when he first met her, but then when she smiled she had him captivated with that little gap between her teeth.

So fucking hot.

“It’s not much, but I like it,” she mumbled.

Reaching for her, he brought her little body against his large one, lifting her from the ground to press his lips to hers. Her fingers tangled in his hair as his hands squeezed the bottom of her ass.

When they parted, he smiled against her.

“It has a couch.”

“And a bed,” she noted, placing a small kiss along his chin.

“Too much work. I need you now.”

“Now?” she asked, her fingers tickling the back of his neck.

“Right now.”

He placed her on her feet and slowly pulled her dress down, tracing kisses all over her trembling body. Reaching for the front of her bra, he snapped the clasp and slipped it off her arms. Piper was all tanned and sexy as hell, especially with the tattoos that came up the side of her breast. Reaching out, Erik turned her around, pushing her against the wall and pressing himself against her ass as he took in the beauty of her ink. It was a large tree that had branches going up her shoulders, along her ribs, and to her breasts. Big, beautiful, red blossoms were the only color against the black tree, and he soon found himself so hard that he could barely breathe. Erik never really enjoyed big tattoos on females, but Piper’s was elegant and looked great on her.

When he ran his fingers slowly down her back, tracing the limbs, she let out a soft moan and pressed her sweet ass against his raging hard-on. He slid his hand around her body and into her panties, to feel her moist, hot center. Piper leaned her head against his shoulder, turning her head to kiss his neck as he moved his fingers very skillfully against her swollen clit. She let out short breaths, her teeth grazing his neck as he started grinding his hips against her back, wanting his own release. Moving his fingers faster, he moved his mouth to hers, kissing her hard as she began to move herself against his hand. With his other hand, he opened her juicy lips up and buried two of his fingers into her deep, tight hole. She let out a strangled moan as she withered against his body.
