“I love
everything about you, sweetheart.”
He dipped his
head to stroke her neck with his tongue. Up and down, long, lazy
swipes of his tongue, as though he didn’t intend to miss out on
giving her all the pleasure she’d been depriving herself of for too
long. His mouth was warm, heating her in all the places she’d been
cold before he walked into the room.
“That feels
amazing,” she said, dipping her head back, trusting him to support
her. “Everything about you feels so right.”
He moaned
before moving his exploration to her breasts. Licking and kissing
each soft mound as though he was testing her restraint, intent on
drawing out the moment so he could capture it and store it in his
memory.
“Justin…” There
were no words to express what she felt. Complete, satisfied. Yet
she knew he had so much more to give.
“It’s okay,” he
whispered, laying her back on the bed. “We have all the time in the
world. This is the first night of the rest of our lives
together.”
Tears caught in
Anna’s throat at his tender words. She didn’t know how they would
make their relationship work, only that they would. Logistics
didn’t matter anymore. The only thing that mattered was right there
in that room, and she knew he would never willingly leave her to
fend for herself. She needed him, and that didn’t scare her anymore
because she knew his love made her stronger. Whether he was there
with her or thousands of miles away, she would always have his love
to help her face her fears.
“I mean that,”
he said, stroking her face with his fingertips as he came down on
top of her. “From now on, whatever life throws at us, we face it
together. Agreed?”
“Agreed.”
He took her
mouth in a possessive kiss before reaching into the night stand for
protection.
Within seconds,
he was back in her arms, stoking her arousal until her limbs
trembled with the force of trying to contain the pleasure pooling
in every nerve ending.
“It’s okay to
let go,” he whispered, licking the shell of her ear as he continued
to manipulate her body with his hands… his words… his mouth.
Clenching her
eyes shut, she fell off the cliff, heedless of the sounds slipping
from her lips or the fingernails piercing his back. The only thing
that mattered was prolonging the ecstasy until her body couldn’t
survive the titillation another second.
She felt him
push inside of her as she throbbed around him, refusing to let him
move until she was ready to let him go.
He moaned as
she tightened around him. “That feels incredible.” He kissed the
hollow of her neck, tweaking her breasts until she was forced to
surrender.
Anna closed her
eyes, lost in the thrill of turning her body over to a man who made
it his mission pleasure her. Every stroke lifted her higher, every
kiss made her crave another. Their bodies came together as one,
their hearts beat as one, and she took a moment to savor the
knowledge she’d found the man who completed her.
“I love you,”
she whispered, holding him close as they both abandoned their need
for restraint. She kissed him deeply as she felt him tremble with
the force moving through both of them. “This is the way it’s
supposed to be.” She smiled as she wiped away the perspiration from
his brow. “Thank you for showing me how good it could be.”
“How good it
will be. Always.”
“Always.”
