Oblivion (Protecting Her Curves Book 4) Read online

  His body leans into mine until the warmth of his breath brushes against my ear. “Patience, angel,” he breathes. “I just need to make a quick phone call.”

  He continues blocking my vision and is now speaking to someone over the phone. “Okay, Johnny, we’re ready. Do it now.” He instructs.

  He hangs up the phone and returns to me. “You ready?” Kace asks.

  “Yeah, can I look now? Hell, the suspense is killing me.”

  He slowly lifts his hand from my eyes. With a flick of his finger, he lifts my head. My tilted head looks up at the building in front of us. It takes a few moments for my vision to adjust, but when it does, I am looking up at myself. Kace stands behind me, smiling. I lift a hand to my mouth, trying to block the excited streak that follows.

  What looks to be a live stream of Kace and me takes up one of the most enormous billboards on Broadway.

  “Oh my God,” I shriek. “Kace, this is too much. You did all this for me?”

  “Yeah. You told me how badly you wanted to see your face on Broadway. I have no doubt that will happen, but I thought, ‘why not give New York a sneak preview of the most beautiful face they will ever see on these boards?’”

  God, I have never felt so special in my life. A part of me wants to slap myself, just to confirm that this is not all a dream. I’m still in shock, and if it wasn’t for Kace holding me firmly in his arms, I would probably have collapsed. A soft, “thank you,” is all I can manage.

  “My girl deserves nothing but the best,” he says.

  Hearing him call me ‘his girl’ has a wave of emotion crashing over me. I look up at him, and he leans forward allowing all of New York to witness the intensity of our kiss.

  We break off our kiss and my brows furrow. “Wait a minute. I thought we agreed we’re not spending a lot of money on this date?”

  His full lips curl into a grin. “That’s right, but you never mentioned me not using my connections to make this happen.”

  Sneaky, but I love it. Shit, this man took what started off as a horrible birthday and turned it into something magical. And now he completely changed the way I’d look at dates. One thing is for sure, no ordinary man would ever be able to compete with Kace Taitum. That he made sure of. I look back up at him and mouth a silent, “thank you.”

  “Right, now let’s get you home.”

  We walk down Broadway, and despite the thousands of other people walking around us, I don’t see anyone except for the man still wearing his cap pulled forward. We’re headed back for the subway when the thought crosses my mind.

  “Kace, since you’re living life as a commoner…”

  “Yeah?” He chuckles.

  “Would you like to see it through, and… I don’t know, sleep in a common Brooklyn apartment?”

  He stops walking and lifts his cap just a little to make sure he looks straight into my eyes. “Are you inviting me up to your place?”

  A devilish grin forms on the top corner of my lips. “I guess I am.”

  Kace

  We’re barely inside Lana’s apartment, and I’m already pressing into her thick, tempting body.

  I have waited so long to get my hands on this curvy Goddess, and now that I have her to myself, I’m going to treat her like the queen that she is.

  I know the feeling is mutual, because she’s already lifting my belt buckle, and reaching into my pants to get a feel of the throbbing cock that now belongs to her.

  I lift her top and toss it across the room as I continue stepping into her, and we make our way to the bedroom. Blood surges through my veins, and an obsessive streak rushes over me.

  Lana has become my need.

  “God, I want you so bad,” she breathes through bated breath.

  Hearing the desperation in her voice sparks a whole new excitement within me. “It cannot be as much as I’ve wanted you. From the night I laid eyes on you, I knew I wouldn’t stop until I made you mine.”

  “Take me, Kace. I’m yours,” she moans.

  I toss off my shirt, and step out of my pants and underwear, before returning my focus back to the queen now laying on the bed with her legs spread wide for me. I drop down her skirt so that the only items covering her are her bra and panties.

  I reach for her tits, giving them a good squeeze as I position myself between her legs. My head drops and I take in a deep whiff of the excitement seeping out of the fabric of her panties. “You dirty girl,” I growl against her sweet pussy. “Are you this wet for me?”

  I’m unable to hold back any longer and pull her panties to the side. My fingers brush against the juices glistening on her entrance.

  “Kace,” she breathes. “There is something I need to confess…”

  I look up at her, meeting her beautiful, brown eyes. “Yes, my angel?”

  She tries shying away when our gaze connects, but her hitched breath remains. “This is… My first time. I haven’t gone this far with anyone else. But I’ve never been surer of anything in my life. Kace, take me. I want you.”

  “Yeah, babe. I’m going to treat your little pussy right for as long as I live. That’s my promise to you.”

  Hearing that Lana has never been touched before fills me with a new kind of excitement. The thought that I’d be the first and only man to satisfy her for the rest of my life wreaks havoc on my cock. “Sweetness, you can be rest assured, I will take good care of this sweet pussy.”

  We moan together as my tongue circles around her clit, and I lick up her juices. I rub my wet lips across her slit and suck on her clit, taking in each drop with total relish.

  “Fuck, you taste so good!”

  She chuckles at my enthusiasm, and her entire body twitches with ecstasy. My finger finds her entrance, and I slowly push in, driving her wild. My thrusts grow more intense, and she rocks her hips against my face. I slip a second finger inside her and quickly begin scissoring my fingers against her sensitive flesh. I have large, thick fingers, but it’s nothing compared to what’s yet to come. I need to make sure my queen is ready for when she experiences all of me.

  She’s losing more control with each passing second, and my unforgiving thumb circles against her sensitive clit.

  Her legs wrap around my neck, and her body begins losing control.

  “Fuck, I want you so bad, Kace. Don’t… Ever… Stop!” She cries out.

  Her grip tightens, and she erupts into ecstasy. “Yes, yes… FUCK, YES!” She screams out.

  I love watching her squirm under my touch. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when I really fill her up.

  Her orgasm draws to an end, and I crawl up beside her. I place an arm under her and pull her into me. My cock aches for the sensation of her tight walls wrapping around me, but tonight is all about her.

  Lana curls into me, and I plant a kiss on her forehead as she drifts off to sleep.

  If there was any doubt before, my pounding heart is all the confirmation I need—my heart belongs to Lana.

  Lana

  Last night, I had the best sleep in ages. Sleeping, with the world’s sexiest man pressing his muscular body into mine, is like a dream come true.

  At my age, there aren’t many good things I’m sure of, but giving my virginity over to him is one of them.

  I turn on my side and plant a soft kiss on Kace’s forehead. Kace Taitum makes me feel like a queen, and now it’s time I return the favor.

  The plan is to serve him breakfast in bed; my famous breakfast, which consists of homemade waffles, bacon, and eggs.

  I step out of bed and walk around my apartment with an extra bounce in my step. Who would’ve thought a man could have such an effect on me? I’m all giddy and have this perpetual grin on my face. One thing’s for sure, and that is that I’m not going to fight this feeling.

  I tried pushing Kace away after he saved me from the burning hotel, but the man’s persistent. A part of me was petrified to give my heart to a man I didn’t believe would ever be mine. We
are in different leagues, there are no two ways about that. But yesterday proved to me that he doesn’t even see those differences. In his eyes, I am the girl he wants to be with.

  I set up the table for breakfast, using the daisies he brought yesterday as a charming centerpiece. I bounce over to the lounge and switch on the television to find some music to match the mood I’m in. I flick through the channels when my eyes suddenly grow large. The man in my bed is currently on one of the gossip news channels.

  I plop down on the couch and increase the volume.

  “What do you think about the rumors of Kace Taitum hooking up with Jacqueline Hayek?” Magda Lauper, Queen of celebrity gossip, says and turns to Tod Davids, the other queen of gossip.

  Tod chuckles, and playfully fans his face with a hand. “Well, there hasn’t been any proof of them dating, other than the few images of them together. But, one thing is for sure—there are going to be a lot of people hating on Jacqueline. I know I’m one of them.” He laughs. “But on a more serious note, Mags, I’m happy for them. I cannot think of a more perfect couple.”

  “Finally, something we agree on,” Magda gives off a fake chuckle.

  Their voices fade into the background, and my world comes to a complete standstill. I zone out, staring at the television screen. Computer-generated images of what their babies would look like fill the screen.

  Who the hell was I kidding? To think that I could be with somebody like Kace is just downright foolish.

  “Good morning, beautiful!” Comes Kace’s deep voice as he steps into the lounge.

  God, this man looks even sexier when waking up. He slept in the nude and clearly didn’t see the need to slip on his underwear before making his way into my lounge. His massive, dangling tool drives an excitement that reaches down between my legs.

  I shake my head back into reality.

  Get your shit together, Lana. This will never work.

  Kace finds a seat beside me, and I move away from him. He opens his mouth to speak, but I cut him off.

  “Kace, thanks for yesterday. But I think it’s time you leave…” My voice feels heavy, and I swear I’m moments away from breaking down.

  Kace raises a brow and looks at me apprehensively. “What’s wrong, sweetness? I thought we shared something special yesterday?”

  We did. And that’s the problem. I cannot invest my heart into something I know won’t ever work out. In response to his question, I simply point the remote at the television screen. He fixes his gaze on my TV, listening intently as strangers discuss his personal life.

  I watch on, anxiously awaiting his response. The temples on the side of his head begin to throb.

  “I’m going to fucking kill Nick,” are the first words that come out of his mouth. He takes my hand in his. “Sweetness, Nick is my manager. He has been insisting that I go out with Jacqueline Hayek. He believes it would do wonders for my career.”

  I drop my head, unable to look him in the eyes. “That’s um… A no-brainer then? I think you should go for it.”

  He moves in closer and places a hand under my chin, forcing me to meet his deep grays.

  “Babe, listen to me. I could have Jacqueline Hayek if I wanted to, but that’s not the case. My heart belongs to you.” There is a seriousness in his voice, telling me he means every word.

  “I don’t care what movies I have starred in. I don’t care who my manager or the fucking public thinks I should be dating. All I care about is that I have never felt the way I feel about you with anyone else. And if it means risking my career, then so be it, but I’m not willing to let go of you. Lana, you are the only girl for me, and if you give me a chance, I will dedicate the rest of my life towards making you happy.”

  I meet the intensity of his gaze. From the time we’ve spent together, Kace always carries a smile on his face that lights up my life, but right now, he is dead serious. Hearing him claim me as his own has my knees turning into jelly. A tear rolls down my cheek, and he reaches forward to wipe it.

  “I know this may be sudden, but I’ve fallen for you. Lana, I love you.”

  Kace

  I’m pissed at the fact that Nick went and leaked some bullshit to the tabloids about me being with Jacqueline Hayek, despite me warning him not to. I’ve put my career first, but now nothing comes in front of Lana.

  “Do you… really mean that?” Lana whimpers, her voice all shaky.

  I pull her body into mine. “Sweetness, I have never been more serious about anything in my life.”

  Her cheeks turn a sultry shade of pink. “Okay,” she says finally. “Well, I was making breakfast before all the drama. So, let me get back to that, while you look into putting on some clothes.” Her eyes run down my abs, and she shies away. “Anyway, you’re hungry?”

  I’ve been holding off for the longest time, but I can’t take it any longer.

  “I’m starving!” I growl and stand to my feet. Her eyes fix on my hardened cock. I stand in front of her, watching as her lips slowly part.

  “Oh, yeah?” She breathes heavily.

  A tingly sensation rushes over my skin as she reaches forward and wraps her fingers around my dick. Goosebumps form all over my skin as she begins tugging on my cock, reaching her tongue forward to lick up my dripping excitement. “Fuck. It’s so big,” she moans.

  I open my mouth to respond but stop immediately when I feel the heat of her breath on my tool as she slowly takes my head between her lips. She teases me with a lick of her tongue, before pulling away.

  I look back at her. Fuck, I’m desperate for her touch.

  Slowly, she begins to lift and remove each of her clothing items. She teases me, rolling her tongue against the length of her bottom lip as she strips down. Once all her clothes are removed, and her full, curvy body is on display for me, Lana gets down on all fours.

  “Oh, fuck,” I groan, and my body jolts as she brings her lips onto my head again. I fucking love how dirty she is with me. I love that she has this good girl image in the streets, but turns into a sex goddess behind closed doors. Only I will ever get to see this side to her. The thought brings a smile to my face.

  She increases the pressure of her lips on my shaft, taking in more of me with every gentle bob of her head. Her hands reach for the base of my prick, and she slaps my cock against her lips. The look she gives me is filled with pure lust.

  I’m not sure what’s gotten into her, but I fucking love this side of her.

  “Fuck, I want you so bad,” I growl.

  “Not as much as I want you inside me,” she moans right back at me.

  This girl has wreaked havoc on my body. Every part of me craves her. “Ugh!” I growl. Her deep-throating has caused my legs to shake. She struggles to take in all of me, but I admire her for trying.

  I buck and pull my hips back. As much as I hate interrupting her, I fear that if she continues at this rate, I’m going to shoot my load deep inside her mouth. That wouldn’t be a bad thing, but I have a better place to plant my seed.

  With her head pulled back, she looks up at me. “Fuck me, Kace,” she pleads.

  With that, I reach down, pick her up, and carry her over to the bedroom.

  I have waited long enough, but now it’s time I claim my queen.

  Kace shows a different side to him when he grabs me by the hair. It’s an alpha side that drives an insatiable desire deep between my legs. I love how he treats me like a goddess but turns into a monster in the bedroom.

  Now, as I lay back with my legs spread for him, I know there’s nothing I want more than for him to fill me with his seed. If the pulse of his cock in my throat was anything to go by, I can’t wait to feel him throbbing inside me. I’ve held onto my virginity for all these years, but now it’s time I hand it over, and who better to give myself to than Kace?

  Fame, and his striking good looks apart, Kace makes me feel things I never believed possible. Love is the only thing that comes to mind. The wa
y my body reacts whenever he touches me makes it abundantly clear… I fucking love Kace Taitum.

  Kace lays his ripped body onto mine. I swear I could cum without him even entering me, just feeling him pressing against my sensitive nipples is enough for me. Instinctively, I wrap my legs around his waist.

  It’s as though I’m high, and he’s my drug. It’s an incredible feeling, but as much as he gives me, I simply have to have more.

  “This will hurt, just a little,” Kace breathes onto my lips.

  With that, he adjusts his body and positions his cock at my entrance. The wetness on my pussy provides all the lube he needs to glide into me. My eyes shut tight as his head spreads my lips, and he enters me.

  His lips crash onto mine, and I cry out into his mouth. He takes his time with me.

  “Fuck, you feel so good,” he growls.

  A desperate, “Kace, fuck me,” is all I can manage.

  “I’m going to fuck your sweet pussy so good, and I’m not pulling out until I fill you with my seed and leave your belly rounded with my baby.”

  God, hearing this possessive side of him has a new wave of emotion flood over me. He’s bold, brazen and unashamed to claim what now belongs to him.

  He continues driving in every inch, and I know this is the calm before the storm. Once I get used to him pulsating against my walls, Kace is going to fuck me senseless. I take in another inch, and his head presses against my barrier.

  “Yes… Kace… I’m yours!”

  He holds me tight, making me feel safer than I ever have, as he presses on.
