Free Submission Under the Mistletoe by Yvette Hines

heard.
    As he settled himself between her legs, he stared
down at her.
    Barely able to see his features clearly in the dim
light, she could still feel the intensity of his gaze.
    Entering her body gently, he cupped her face. “Who
are you, Gabriella?”
    She didn’t respond. She didn’t know if it was
because she didn’t want to reveal her secrets or because at the
moment with this man inside of her moving slowly in and out of her
body, she was asking herself the same question.
    He started kissing her, keeping his mouth as ginger
as his tender loving.
    Neither his tongue nor his cock stopped their
passionate assault as his weight bore down on her fully for the
first time that night. He allowed no space between them as he
grinded his hips over and over into her. His thick, long cock had
her breath catching every time he pressed deep. Gasping into his
mouth, she suckled his tongue as it slid along her own.
    Gabriella tried to stop the tears that rolled out of
the corners of her eyes. They weren’t tears of pain, he wasn’t
hurting her physically, but she knew, as well as she knew her own
name, that his gentle dominance was her complete undoing.
    He moved his lips away from hers for a brief moment,
as he said, “Come with me, China Doll.”
    By the time his mouth seized hers again she was
climaxing. A quiet storm of pleasure showered down over her causing
her body to buck beneath him. Brad’s own groan of gratification
vibrated into her mouth.
    Shifting away, he moved like a ghost to the
bathroom. Rolling to her side, she stared out the part in the
curtains, her back to the restroom. She pulled the covers up over
her shoulders as her mind ran, trying to make sense of something
that seemed nonsensical.
    Her body was jolted lightly, as Brad lay on the bed.
He pulled her into his arms, situating her form until she was laid
sprawled on top of him and his hand caressed her back.
    Then he started talking in low tones as his fingers
stroked her. “I’m a twin, identical. I live in Baltimore and I’m a
physician’s assistant. I work at a small family practice and enjoy
my job. My parents live in Canada, where our father is from, and we
all visit them every Easter. When I’m not hanging out with my
brother, I play basketball at the community center and volunteer at
the boys club. I’ve always wanted to be a big reader, however, I
find myself watching more crime shows than in a book.”
    She smiled, enjoying listening to him talk about
himself. He kept his timbre light, like he was telling her a
soothing bedtime story. In that moment, she was more relaxed than
she’d ever been with any man; Dom or boyfriend.
    Soon, her eyes became heavy and she lost herself in
his life and drifted off to sleep.

    “ You’re not planning to just sneak
away at dawn are you?” Brad stared at the beautiful woman fastening
her short corset dress onto her body.
    She froze and glanced up at him. Her lips were
swollen, the lipstick finally faded, her face flushed and her hair
was mused and in disarray around her shoulders. She looked as if
she’d spent a night being well and thoroughly loved.
    Sitting up against the headboard, with the sheet at
his waist his heart thudded with male pride in his chest knowing
he’d been the one with her last night.
    Completing the final clasps, she said, “First of
all, it’s almost ten in the morning. I’m not sneaking away. If you
hadn’t been in such a dead sleep maybe you would have heard the
phone ringing. It woke me up.” She moved around the room grabbing
one stocking and then the other.
    “ You didn’t answer it did you?”
Most likely it was Brian and he probably already had enough to
answer for without having to explain the female in his
room.
    “ No worries, darling, I don’t
answer other people’s lines.” Her saucy smile was back as she
stepped into her heels.
    After last night, he knew that flirting attitude was
just a defense she
