Roan's Fall

Chapter Five

Ansley lay curled around Roan listening to the sound of his heart beating against her ear. Ending up in bed together had been the last thing she had expected when he’d carried her out of the hair salon. She’d been more than a little angry with him, but then he had kissed her and she had forgotten all about her anger. One possessive kiss and the man sent her body into intense arousal. And Roan had known it, had used it to his advantage. The snake.

She shifted slightly on the bed and bit back a moan at the feel of his cock still buried inside her, thick and hard. Ansley had no idea how Roan had managed it. Even though he had come, he hadn’t lost his erection. She didn’t think most men could achieve that feat, not that she’d had a whole lot of experience. But making love to Roan by no means could be compared to the two other men she had slept with in the past. He blew them right out of the water.

It hadn’t just been that the sex had been mind blowing, which it had been. It was a couple of other things that set him apart from the rest. For starters what had been up with the glowing eyes and animal sounding growls he had made? Ansley knew if she let herself think about those things too closely right now she could very well freak out. She pushed those two things aside. It was what had happened while they had made love that concerned her more. And something had happened. Ansley had felt it. It felt as if a part of her had reached for Roan, then joined with a part of him. How can that be? She knew she had to have imagined it, but it had felt so real.

Ansley pulled back in Roan’s embrace so she could look up at him. His light blue eyes still had a slight glow to them. She didn’t think any contacts existed that made eyes glow like that. Starting to feel a little freaked, she took a deep breath and said, “Roan, your eyes. They glow. Why? And I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but something happened while we made love.” When Roan moved to claim her lips, she placed her fingers on his mouth to keep him away. “You said you would explain everything.”

Roan pulled her fingers away and kissed the tip of each one. “Later. Right now I want you again.”

Ansley bit her bottom lip and watched Roan suck the tip of her index finger into his mouth. He swirled his tongue around it. “You’re trying to distract me.”

He flexed his hips to sink his hard cock a little deeper inside her. “The explanations can wait. Right now I want to make you to come while you scream my name.”

Roan held onto her thigh as he pumped his hips between her legs. The feel of him moving deep inside her caused her arousal to build once again. This time when he went to claim her lips she didn’t push him away. She sucked on his tongue. He growled into her mouth. The sound of his growl pushed her arousal even higher. Ansley threaded the fingers of one hand through his hair and kissed with nothing held back. When Roan growled again and held her closer, she grew bolder. Pushing at his shoulder she got Roan to roll onto his back. With his cock still buried deep, she straddled his hips. She sat up, then slowly started to ride him. As she moved up and down on his shaft, his eyes once again started to glow, this time brighter. Roan thrust up his hips to match her strokes. Reaching up, he cupped her breasts. She tightened her inner walls around his thickness as he lifted his head and sucked a nipple into his mouth. Ansley moaned. With each pull on her nipple she felt it deep inside her pussy. She rode him faster all the while her orgasm inched closer. Roan let one hand trail down her body to where they were joined. He stroked her clit as he rammed up into her. With a keening moan, Ansley let her head fall back. Her body climaxed around his cock.

When the last wave of pleasure receded, Roan lifted her off of him and placed her on the bed on her stomach. He moved behind her as he took hold of her hips and urged her up on her knees. He dragged the flat of his tongue up the curve of her spine before he kneeled between her spread thighs. Ansley rested her upper body on her bent arms. She felt the tip of his cock probed her wet entrance before he surged inside her. Holding her in place with his hands on her hips, Roan rammed into her. He took her hard and fast. Ansley felt another climax build as he pumped his cock in and out of her. She clutched at the sheets and pushed back to met each of his strokes. He grew even harder. She then fell over the edge moaning his name. Roan growled/moaned and rammed into her one final time. She gasped with pleasure as his cock pulsed deep inside her.

Sated, Ansley collapsed on the bed. Roan pulled his still hard cock out of her and moved to lie on the bed next to her. He lifted her off the mattress and placed her on top of him so she lay sprawled along him. Panting to catch her breath, Ansley placed a kiss on his chest. Roan’s arms came up and wrapped around her. Totally relaxed, she snuggled closer and let her eyes drift shut.

She hadn’t realized she had fallen asleep until Roan gently shook her. Ansley blinked open her eyes and lifted her head off his chest to give him a half smile. “Sorry. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I hope I didn’t drool.”

Roan stroked his hand down her back to her bottom. “You can sleep later. Why don’t you get dressed and throw some clothes in a suitcase? I want us to be on the road in about fifteen minutes.”

Her brows drew together. “Where exactly are you taking me? And why do I have to pack some clothes?”

Roan slid out from under her and got out of bed. “We’re going back to my place. And you need clothes because you will be staying the night.”

Ansley had a hard time trying to keep her thoughts straight with Roan standing there completely naked. The man had the body of a body builder. He was all muscle without an inch of fat on him anywhere. She sat up and ran her gaze across his thickly muscled chest, down to his washboard abs. She dropped her gaze even lower until she came level with his large cock, which was semi-erect. As she watched, it started to lengthen and harden.

A large t-shirt that smelled of Roan’s scent smacked her in the face. Pulling it off, Ansley complained, “Hey. What did you do that for?”

Roan picked his jeans off the floor and put them on. Much to Ansley’s dismay, he tucked his now erect cock inside and did them up. “If you kept looking at me like that, we’ll never get out of here.”

“And that would be bad because?”

He leaned toward her and braced his hands on the mattress. His lips hovered over hers. He then said, “I would much rather get you into my bed, which is a lot bigger than your bed. It will give me more room to lick every inch of your body before I take you over and over again.”

His deep husky voice went straight to Ansley’s pussy causing it to ache with arousal.

“As long as I get to lick every inch of your body, I’m game.” She gave the large bulge in his jeans a pointed look.

Roan’s eyes glowed for a split second before he jerked away from her. “Ah, shit. Now I’m not going to be able to think of anything else but having your tongue on my body.” He gathered her clothes off the floor and threw them on the bed next to her. “Get dressed and pack a suitcase. And don’t take any longer than you have to. Just remember, the longer you take in here the longer it will be before you can do all those delicious things with your tongue.” Roan snatched his t-shirt off the bed and picked up his socks and shoes before he left her alone in the bedroom.

Ansley jumped off the bed and got dressed in record time. It only took her a few minutes to dig her overnight bag out of the closet. She shoved some clothes and hairbrush into it. She left the bedroom and went to the bathroom to get her toothbrush. When she came out she found Roan standing impatiently by the apartment door. She picked up her purse from the kitchen table before she went over to join him.

“What about my car? It’s still parked at the salon.”

“Do you have to work tomorrow?”

“No.”

“Then it can stay there for now. We’ll get it for you sometime tomorrow.”

With that said Roan opened the apartment door and ushered her out into the hallway. Ansley closed and locked the door after them. Roan took her overnight bag from her and laced the fingers of his other hand with hers. Ansley let him lead her down the stairs and outside to the parking lot. In no time flat, he had them inside his Lexus and driving down the street.

Ansley watched the scenery go by. She had no idea where Roan lived, but when they crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and headed for the North Bay area she realized he must live in Marin County. Marin County was known as a very affluent area with its share of ridiculously expensive mansions. If Roan lived here, he had more money than she had first thought.

When Roan pulled his Lexus onto a long private drive and Ansley got her first look at the mansion up ahead, she swallowed. Now she knew why Roan hadn’t wanted to stay overnight at her hole-in-the-wall apartment. Compared to his house, her apartment looked like a slum.

As Roan parked the car in front of a large six car garage, Ansley asked, “Do you live here by yourself?”

Roan pulled the keys out of the ignition and smiled at her. “No. I live here with my five brothers, my sister and her ma … her husband.”

Ansley’s eyes widened. “Five brothers and a sister? And you can live together without killing each other?”

“Mostly,” Roan said with a chuckle. “Actually two of my brothers are my brothers by blood. The other three and my sister, we sort of adopted each other.”

“What about your parents? Do they live here too?”

“No. My parents died a long time ago.”

“Oh. Sorry.”

“It’s okay. Let’s go inside.”

Ansley got out of the car while Roan collected her overnight bag out of the backseat. She looked up at the large house. If Roan lived with his brothers and sister, there would be a good chance at least one of them would be inside. Somehow her relationship with Roan had gone from basically being non-existent to meeting-the-family stage in a matter of hours. Ansley didn’t know how she felt about that. Just because Roan and she had had sex didn’t mean they now had a commitment and would get married. Not that she wouldn’t mind being able to keep Roan as her own, but she knew realistically the chances that they would work out for the long haul were not very good. She didn’t have a very good track record when it came to relationships.

Roan came around to her side of the car and took her hand. Once they walked through the front door, Ansley heard the sound of more than one male voice coming from somewhere inside the house. “I take it some of your brothers are home?”

With a quick sniff of the air, Roan nodded. “All of them are.”

Considering Ansley had only heard two different male voices, it made her wonder how Roan knew all five of his brothers where home. She walked beside Roan as he moved farther into the house. The sound of male laughter fell away once she and Roan stepped through the entrance to the large living room. Ansley felt her mouth fall open when she got her first look at the five very large, very muscular men who sat inside the room. It looked as if an underwear model convention took place in Roan’s home. With their gorgeous faces and well muscled bodies they could have made a fortune off their looks alone. Ansley couldn’t stop staring at them. She’d never seen so many good looking men all in one place before.

Roan snarled beside her. “Maybe introducing you to them isn’t such a great idea after all.”

One of Roan’s brothers, one of the two that had their long hair pulled back in a pony tail, got up from the couch and walked over to where they stood. This brother’s features were very similar to Roan’s, right down to the same light brown hair and light blue eyes. Ansley guessed this had to be one of Roan’s true brothers.

“Don’t be a prick, Roan,” his brother said. He then looked down at Ansley.

“Introduce us.” The other men got up and came to stand before them as well. Roan stepped closer and pulled her under his arm. “The a-hole demanding I introduce you is my true brother, Jager. Our other brother, Skylar, is the other one with his hair in a pony tail.”

Ansley gave Jager and then Skylar a tentative smile. Skylar shared his brothers’

looks.

Roan continued. “Dirk is standing on Jager’s left. Next to him is Kye. And beside Skylar is Leif.”

She let her gaze settle on each of the men. Dirk had dark brown hair with blond highlights that fell past his shoulders. His eyes were dark green. Kye had dark blond hair that just touched the top of his shoulders. His brown eyes met hers. He nodded in her direction. Leif’s hair was the most conservative of the bunch. He wore his auburn hair short. When she met his blue-eyed gaze, he winked at her then proceeded to look her up and down. Standing in the middle of these six men who all stood well over six foot six, Ansley felt awfully short.

Roan pulled her even closer to his side. “This is Ansley.”

“She’s just a little thing,” Jager said. “I bet she weighs next to nothing too.”

“You won’t be finding out,” Roan said through gritted teeth. His brother Leif pushed Jager out of the way so he stood in front of her and reached for her hand. He quickly pulled it back when Roan snapped his teeth at him. Roan gave Leif a pointed look. “You will keep your hands, and paws, to yourself.”

Leif chuckled. “Just wanted to be friendly. With your scent all over her, and seeing that mark on your neck, I don’t need to be told who she belongs to.”

Ansley felt her face flush when she looked at Roan’s neck and saw the bite mark she had left on his skin peeking out from under the collar of his t-shirt. Leif chuckled again. “I think I just embarrassed her. Sorry, Ansley. There is no reason to be embarrassed about leaving your mark on Roan. It will just let any female wer—”

Roan cut Leif off before he could finish his sentence. He loudly cleared his throat.

“Enough, Leif.”

Leif looked from her then to Roan, who he gave a look of pity. “I get it. Your best intentions went out the window, didn’t they? That’s why you brought her here. Well, good luck with that.”

Ansley only listened to what Leif said to Roan with half an ear. With all these hunky men around her, she had a hard time not staring at each of them. They all looked as if they had walked off a cover of a romance novel. Each one of them exuded confidence and sex appeal. She doubted any of them had trouble getting a woman. Not that she was interested in Roan’s brothers in that way. Roan’s good looks attracted her more than his brothers’ did.

Noticing the room had gone completely silent, Ansley looked at the men who stood around her. From the scowl on Roan’s face, she realized she had been caught staring. She gave him a sheepish smile. “Hey, as long as they’re here I’m going look. I’m not dead you know.” Ansley cringed when the last word left her mouth. That hadn’t exactly been smart to tell the man she’d just slept with that she had been ogling his brothers. Her cursed mouth had done it again.

Instead of getting mad or berating her, Roan picked her up in his arms and walked out of the living room. Once they were out of sight, Ansley could hear his brothers’

starting to make bets about when Roan and she would leave his bed. When Roan reached the bottom of the stairs that led to the upper level and hurried up them, Ansley felt her face flame red. As first impressions went, she had to say the one she’d made sucked. Not sure if she could face Roan’s brothers again, she put her head on his shoulder and let him carry her away.
