Celina (Connelly Cousins #1) (20 page)

Applying just a little pressure, he pushed, allowing only the very tip to penetrate her. Lina tilted her hips, trying to take him, but he stayed just out of reach.

“KYLE!” she begged, but he remained still, a smile playing on his lips.

“M
arry me, Lina.” The words were so softly spoken she wasn’t sure she heard them. Everything went completely silent in her mind, and the only thing she could see were Kyle’s intense blue eyes, looking hypnotically into hers.

“What?!?”

“You said you would do anything. Those are my terms. Put up or shut up.
Marry me.
”

“But Kyle - ”

“Ah, baby, this is a limited time offer.” The tip of his cock pulsed just inside her, already stretching her so wonderfully.

“You don’t have to do this. I love you, Kyle, more than anything.”

“I’ll take that as a yes.” He took her hands in his and raised them up over her head, then lowered his mouth so his lips rested gently over hers. “I love you, Lina.”

With a flex of his hips, he pushed into her, just enough to break through her innocence. She cried out and he held her close. “Sssshhh, baby, it’s okay. It’ll only hurt for a minute, I promise. Okay?”

Lina nodded, burying her head into his neck. It stung, but that initial burn was fading fast, and it was nothing compared to the incredible feel of velvet iron within her. Kyle eased forward, just another inch or so, and the pain receded a bit more. Little by little he buried himself inside her, allowing her sheath to stretch around him. Before she knew it, the pain was gone and forgotten, replaced by the most incredible fullness pressing against her from the inside out. It was glorious.

“You okay, baby?” he asked softly, planting gentle kisses around her mouth.

“Oh, yes...”

“Christ, Lina, you are so fucking tight...” Kyle rocked into her once more, and was seated inside her to the hilt. Even though he remained stationary, Lina felt his cock throbbing within her, and she clenched around him. Her inner muscles stroked him, trying to pull him even deeper.

H
e held himself still so she could get used to him. She squeezed around him like a vise. It would be so easy to spill into her right now, just one stroke and he could fucking explode.

She’s milking my cock without moving.
There was no way he’d be able to hold back if she kept that up.

He withdrew, ever so slowly. Her nails gripped him tightly. “Don’t - ”

Kyle captured her protests with his mouth, re-entering her with a solid, full stroke.

“Oh my God, Kyle,” she screamed. “Do that again!”

Had he not been so insane with need, he would have laughed at her enthusiasm. Kyle thrust again, and she tilted her hips, opening wider for him. He growled low in his throat, the sound of a man just barely hanging on to sanity.

“Fuck, Lina, I can’t hold myself back like I should. I’m gonna come. Let me get a condom.” Kyle had never engaged in sex without one, but he’d wanted her first penetration to be skin. He’d fully intended to sheath himself once he got in a few good strokes. He never imagined he’d be so close so soon.

Lina wrapped her legs around his hips and lifted onto him, grinding herself deeper until he was balls deep.

“No, Kyle, please. No condom. Just you.”

“Lina, I can’t hold it, sweetheart. You’re driving me insane, baby.” He tried to pull away but she stayed with him. In fact, in this position she was able to rock her own hips, bringing him deep inside her then releasing, while continuing to suck at him from inside.

“I want it all.”

The way she ground against him was unbearable, her pussy sucking at him as hard as her mouth had. How did she even do that?

“Lina!” he warned, his voice more animal than human.

“Please, Kyle,” she whispered, over and over, sucking at him, riding him from underneath, raking her nails into his back, into his ass. “I’m on the pill.”

Her words penetrated his lusty haze. Kyle pulled back far enough to look into her eyes. “Why are you on the pill?”

“Irregular cycles,” she panted.

That sounded good to him, and Lina had no reason to lie. The thought of spilling his seed into her made his balls ache and his mind dizzy with need. She was his. He was hers. He knew he was clean. There was no reason not to.

“Oh, fuck, yes, Lina, I love you so fucking much...” Kyle lost his last shred of control and started pumping into her again, setting a rhythm that had them both climbing into the heavens. Every stroke brought him closer to total annihilation.

Kyle recognized her approaching climax before she did, feeling the pressure of her inner walls increasing, making it harder and harder to pull away. The moans, the cries, the sounds that came from her drove him crazy. Driven by the need to ensure her pleasure, every stroke unerringly hit her most sensitive spots. He was claiming her as his, now and forever. He was the only man she would ever know, and it branded his heart as much as hers.

Lina’s entire body tensed beneath him and she screamed out his name when her orgasm claimed her, sending her body into seizing shudders. At the first sign of her climax, Kyle thrust into her harder and farther till he swore he felt the tip of his cock against the entrance to her womb. It was his undoing, and the first jet exploded inside her. He pulled her to him, holding her tightly as she dissolved in racking shudders beneath him, while his cock continued to pulse wildly deep inside her, filling her with his seed, extending her orgasm with wave after wave of hot, molten pleasure.

Kyle remained buried deep, loving the feel of being connected to her like this. He felt weak, drained. It wasn’t just a release; he had poured his soul into her, and it rocked him to his core.

He managed to fall to the side, afraid that his full body weight would crush her. She moved with him, wrapping her leg around his hip to stay as close to him as possible. She didn’t want to let go either, and it filled him with a sense of something he hadn’t expected – relief, gratitude, and unimaginable joy.

Kyle’s heart beat wildly in his chest, his breath was rough and ragged. Lina pulled him closer, caressing his back and placing light, angel-like kisses on his face. Only then did regret start to edge its way into his bliss. Despite his best efforts, he’d allowed himself to get carried away; he’d been too rough with her. Her first time should have been slow, sweet, and tender, not fast and hard.

When he finally had the strength and courage to open his eyes, he couldn’t believe what he saw. Not the shock, disappointment, or tears he deserved, but the endless love in her eyes, the pink flush of her skin, and the languorous look of someone who had just been well sated.

“Is it always like this?” she asked, her voice a seductive purr as she snuggled in closer.

No. Never. I’ve never had my soul ripped out through my dick before
. “No,” he whispered truthfully. “It’s never been like this.”

He swallowed hard. He’d put everything into her, and now felt like a hollowed out shell. But as he saw the look in her eyes, felt her warmth against his skin and her sweet breath on his parted lips, she began to fill him from the inside out. Like sunshine after a violent thunderstorm, she chased away the darkness. Lina was his light. His hope. His love.

His future.

“Can we do it again?” Her voice was cautiously hopeful.

Kyle blinked. He wasn’t even capable of coherent speech. His entire body was some new kind of form – some solid, some liquid, and a whole lot of vapor, making him feel as if he was floating and melting at the same time. Yet even as she spoke those words, his cock hardened and the blood rushed through his veins with a renewed purpose. A slow grin spread across his face. How could he ever have thought this would be a bad idea?

C
elina Connelly was made just for him.
Two days later, that was the thought that kept looping through his mind as he watched her doze peacefully in the hot tub, her legs draped over his lap, exhausted. She was beautiful, smart, loving, kind, and
insatiable
. Kyle discovered that once he started making love to her, he didn’t want to stop. Time and time again his body responded with a level of arousal that amazed him.

Not that he was complaining.

They’d just finished making love in the hot bubbling water. Again. Before that it was the sunken living room (in front of the fire). In the kitchen (he’d have to replace the dishes they’d broken). In the shower (he’d never realized a movable shower head had so many erotic uses). And of course the bedroom, when they managed to make it that far. Thank God her brother had taken off, leaving a note behind that said he was going to visit Johnny for a couple of days. Smart guy.

“What are you thinking about?” she murmured, opening her eyes just a little, just enough for him to catch a glimpse of the intense emerald green.

“How incredibly perfect you are.”

Lina smiled. “Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about you.”

“So... what are you doing tomorrow?” His voice was casual, but his heart was thumping like the deep, rhythmic rumble of his Harley. His big hand splayed over her belly, his thumb circling around her navel ring. The small diamond winked at him, reminding him of another tucked safely away in his pack.

“Hopefully, exactly what I did today.” She stroked his shaft with the side of one leg, caressed his inner thigh with her other foot. The woman made it damn hard to think of anything but worshipping her, but he forced himself to focus.

“I was thinking maybe we could head into town.”

“Are you getting bored with me already, Kyle?” She posed the question teasingly, but was incapable of completely concealing the worry behind them.

“Never,” he assured her, pulling her onto his lap so she straddled him. “Not even possible, baby.”

Lina relaxed and melted into him. It felt so good. Once again he wondered at the perfect custom fit of their bodies.

“So what did you have in mind?” she asked, leaning her head onto his shoulder. 

“I thought we could head to the courthouse and sign a few papers, maybe have a judge perform a quick civil for us. We could always do a big thing later, too, if you want.”

Lina sighed, stroking his chest with her fingers. “I told you, Kyle, I won’t hold you to that. I love you, and I’m not going anywhere. I don’t need a ring to know that you love me, too.”

“Liar,” he scolded, kissing her forehead. He had no doubt that if he asked (which he would) she’d move in with him in a heartbeat without demanding that level of commitment. She loved him, unconditionally. He was still having trouble wrapping his mind around that one, but having her naked body draped over him was doing wonders.

But Kyle also knew that somewhere, way down deep, she wanted the vows, the ring, the whole nine yards, even if she refused to admit it. And he would do anything to make her happy. He’d been right about one thing, at least. Now that he had her, he would never let her go.

“Am not,” she pouted.

“Maybe I need this, Lina,” he said, lifting her chin with his hands. “Maybe I need to see that ring on your finger.” He kissed her, long and slow, until she moaned softly. Oh yeah, if this is what it took to persuade her to his way of thinking, he was good for the next seventy years or so. “Don’t you want to marry me? Would it be so bad, being my wife?”

Lina looked horrified. “Oh, Kyle, no! Being married to you would be a dream come true.”

Kyle grinned and kissed her nose.
Gotcha
.

“You tricked me!”

“I didn’t trick you, Lina. I just encouraged you to express how you really feel.” His grin widened. “Wait right here, ok?” He lifted her from his lap and got to his feet.

L
ina watched as he stepped out of the pool, feeling a renewed rush of heat when she saw his muscular legs, perfectly formed ass, and exquisite manhood exposed and dripping wet. He moved with undeniable power and grace, and now she knew exactly what all that fineness was capable of doing to her.

She wondered how long it would take for the soreness to fade, then decided she didn’t really care if it ever did. Every twinge reminded her of the best day of her life, at least so far. She suspected she’d be having a lot more of them.

He came back a few minutes later, dropping a knapsack beside the hot tub and easing himself back into the water beside her. He laughed when he caught her ogling him.

“Damn, Lina,” he said, pulling her back over his thighs. She went willingly, aligning her body with his, grabbing onto his strong, powerful shoulders. “You know how to make a man feel wanted.” He punctuated his observation by dropping his head and suckling her breast.

“I missed you,” she said, faking a pout. “And really, it’s all your fault anyway, being so damn sexy and making me feel ...so ...good.” He smiled up at her, her nipple between his teeth, and stroked his tongue in tiny circles. She whimpered a protest when he pulled away.

Kyle draped an arm over the side and reached into the pack, palming something small. “Then let me make an honest woman of you. Marry me, Lina. Please.” He opened his palm to reveal a beautiful, sparkling diamond set in gold with tiny emeralds on either side.

She stared down at the exquisite gems set into the antique band. “Kyle ... it’s so ...
beautiful
.”

“Not half as beautiful as you. Be my wife, Lina. Don’t make me beg, because I will, if that’s what it takes. It won’t be pretty, I can promise you.”

“
Yes
.”

“Yes?”

“Yes, Kyle, I would be honored to be your wife.” Kyle grinned like an idiot, as he slid the ring on her finger. “There now, that wasn’t so hard, was it?”

“I love you so much, Kyle.”

“I love you too, Lina.”

T
he next day, with only a minimal amount of coaxing, Lina mounted up behind him and they rode his Harley into town. After a quick stop at the town hall, they pulled into Judge Kelley’s driveway. Now in his late sixties, Justin Kelley had been the local magistrate for more than thirty years.
