Ned kicked the hotel room door closed and kissed Katie. He pulled her blouse over her head, picking her up by her hips and holding her to the wall. He kissed her neck, his teeth hooking her bra strap and pulling it down.

"You're mine… all mine," she smiled, running her hand through his hair. His mouth nibbled on her neck, and she gasped, keening against him.

"I am," he set her down on her feet and she kicked her heels off as he guided her backward toward the bed.

Her hand touched his face and she smiled at him as he leaned down, capturing her lips in a featherlike kiss. His instincts told him to undress her and his fingers came to the clasp of her bra, pulling it loose, exposing her, before he closed the space between them again. His lips dominated her, fiercely pressing against her. His hands moved over her bare torso, gliding over her hips, pulling her against him and sliding the leggings down her legs. She turned, her back facing him. Her heart skipped a beat as his lips went to her neck, kissing the sweet expanse of her skin. Her hand grasped the back of his neck, pulling him closer, a moan escaping her throat.

Once her leggings were loose around her ankles, she stepped out of them. She faced him, her skin alight with passion and lust for him.

"You're so beautiful," he stepped closer, claiming her lips again.

Her hands went up to his chest, opening his dress shirt and pulling his tie loose. Next, she unbuckled his belt, pulling it from his trousers, which he kicked from his legs, and picked her up.

He brought her to the bed, laying her down on the soft sheets. He pulled back, looking at her. "I love you," he breathed, moving to get off the bed. He found his tie in the mess of clothes on the floor. "Katie, I have an idea."

"I love you too," she whispered, furrowing her brow. "What's that for?"

"Do you trust me?" He asked, smoothing it out.

"Of course I do," she shivered, his hands running over her sides. "Why?"

"No more questions." The tie slid around her eyes and she could feel his fingers moving against the back of her skull, tying it tight enough so that she couldn't see, but not so tight that it hurt. "Remember, you can't talk until I say pearl," Ned said, lips brushing against the shell of her ear as he leaned forward, his bare chest pressing against her.

Katie nodded, shivers dancing down her spine as his hands palmed her bare breasts, flicking his thumbs against the turgid nipples.

"You're so fucking beautiful," he breathed against her nape, teasing the hairs that had escaped her updo. His hands slid slowly down her arms, lifting them and placing her hands palm down on the bed. He pressed kisses down her body as he crouched down, at the edge of the bed, spreading her legs apart with a hand on each ankle. "Stay," he murmured, rising back up. "I'm gonna put the do not disturb out."

Her senses were magnified by the lack of sight. She could hear everything with a clarity that usually she only felt when she was in a writing bubble. He was moving around the room. She heard the heavy tread of his feet against the hardwood floor and the squeak of the box spring as he moved on the bed.

He pulled her up to the pillows, eliciting a giggle from her throat as he moved on top of her. "No sounds," his voice was a deep growl as his hand connected with her ass. "Not until I say so."

Silky heat pooled between her thighs at the commanding tone and the sharp sting of his palm against her ass. It throbbed and pulsed in time with the heat building in her core. His hands were back on her, moving slowly along her collarbone and down the flat expanse of her stomach. They danced over her hips and slid along the crease of her ass. Goosebumps erupted in its wake and she could feel his hot breath on her skin, ghosting along in the wake of whatever it was that he was using to torment her.

"Good girl." A finger trailed over her lips, dragging down her lower one before pushing into her mouth. Her lips closed around it and she began to suck, flicking her tongue against the tip. She heard him groan and sucked harder, squirming when the tension in her center coiled tighter. "You want me in your mouth, don't you? You want to wrap your lips around me and suck me until you milk every damn drop when I come."

She nodded eagerly and he moved closer so that she could feel the hard length of him against her thigh.

"We'll save that for another night, tonight I just want to make love to you," he breathed hotly against her nape. He slid his hand up her arm, guiding her hand down. She stroked and squeezed along the length before beginning a slow exploration. Her fingers teased him, stroking him.

"I'm not going to last, you keep that up," he growled throatily, thrusting into her hand once more before sliding her hand off of him, putting it back on the bed. "I'm going to kiss you now." The words were soft and forceful, his voice low and deep and she could feel it all the way down to her toes as she felt him move around her, her breath coming in short, panting gasps.

He was finally going to do it, finally touch her like she'd been dying for him to do since they started this game. He stopped bare millimeters from her, her breasts brushing up against his chest, the coarse hairs covering that large expanse of muscled perfection stimulating her nipples and teasing them even more firmly erect.

Oh yes… oh yes...oh yes..., her mind whispered over and over, his fingertips sliding along her cheekbone to tilt her face just so. She could feel his breath on her face and it was doing dastardly deeds to her pulse and then she couldn't think anymore as they gently connected - his mouth opening slightly over hers.

The feel of his tongue sliding out and licking her lower lip nearly sent her to the floor, her legs suddenly unwilling or unable to support her. His strong arm wound around her waist, pulling her tightly against his warm, hard body and she moaned softly as her hips brushed up against his, the feel of his erection, hard and aroused against the apex of her thighs making it hard to think, let alone breathe as he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding into her parted lips with ease, making gentle swipes against hers before retreating, teasing her into doing the same.

His hand between her thighs and a long, thick finger brushed against the hood of her center and she gasped.

"Easy," he murmured, slipping a finger into the tight, wet sheath of her, feeling it contract tightly around the digit, slick wetness coating his finger as he drew it out slowly. He teased her center with his thumb, dipping his finger again and again into her, curling it just slightly on every stroke.

Her head dropped back to rest on the pillow as his other hand slid up her chest, cupping her aching breasts, fingers plucking against turgid nipples. She squirmed again as a wash of heat raced through her, fire licking along her veins from the pulsating heat building between her thighs. A soft moan escaped her parted lips and she froze as a hand covered her mouth. "Behave, or I won't fuck you."

Warm, wet need built between her thighs as he licked and sucked at the soft skin of her neck, teeth scraping against her leaping pulse. His hand palmed her thigh, pulling it up and opening her legs. "Put your hands on my shoulders," he commanded gruffly. She complied instantly, relishing the feel of his strong muscles underneath her fingers again.

He bent slightly, lifting her up against him, big hands sliding up to cup her ass. Spinning them around, he pressed himself against the headboard, using it as a brace as he reached between their bodies, positioning himself at her entrance.

"Wrap your legs around my waist," he growled, thrusting forward and filling her with a thick, hard thrust. "Pearl."

"Oh!" she cried, legs locking tightly around him, his hands guiding her into a rhythm that forced the ridge of him against her center with every downstroke. "Ned! Oh, Ned..."

Hard and fast, he fucked her, his mouth was on her skin, leaving biting, nipping kisses at the junction of her neck and shoulders and the pleasure/pain rocketed through her, forcing her quickly to the edge of bliss. "So good, so tight," he growled against her skin, licking and kissing his way up to her ear, breath hot against the shell. "God I missed you," he panted, teeth nipping at her earlobe.

She gasped as his hand dove between them, pinching her center. "Oh yes, please Ned!" She cried out, claiming his mouth. "Harder, I want you to fuck me harder."

"I want to feel you come," he grunted, hips flashing hard against hers.

"Yes, oh yes, I'm gonna come!" Her voice rose higher as her body tightened around him, contractions rippling through her, spreading out in a hot wave from where they were joined.

His strokes lost finesse and he came groaning her name into her shoulder. Katie wrapped her arms tightly around him as she laid back, pulling him down with her. Leaning her cheek on his shoulder, she pushed the blindfold up and off of her eyes, blinking against the light. Ned lifted his head and grinned at her, pressing a sloppy kiss to her lips.

"Next time, I think I should wear the blindfold," he said.

She laughed, kissing him. "Does that mean I get to do all the dirty talking?"

His eyes darkened as his lips curved into a wicked grin. "Oh yeah."

She heard a faint knock at the door, groaning into his shoulder. "What time is it? I thought dinner wasn't until six?"

"It's five thirty," he peeked over his shoulder and back at her. "And it's probably my mom. Go duck in the bathroom since she'll probably push herself in."

"I have to shower anyway," she sighed, pushing him up and leaning up to be face to face with him. "I really wish I could keep you with me tonight…"

"I mean, if you can get Sarg to agree then I'm all yours," he laughed, kissing her then.

"Maybe I'll wear my flirty dress for tonight instead of our night out and seduce him into letting you stay with me," she shrugged, moving off the bed then. She grabbed her bag and walked toward the bathroom, feeling Ned pull her back against him. "Hey! Let me go…"

"Never," he whispered, kissing her neck. "I'll never let you go, okay?"

"Okay," she smiled back at him and he winked, walking past her then and opening the door in boxers as she slipped into the bathroom.
