His breath caught in his throat, his fist bunched in her hair. "He's a shadow, and one of these days I'm going to accidentally step on him."
Her tongue teased his flat stomach, teeth nipping here and there. "You already love that boy."
"I love all of them, but they need to stay in their own damn beds," he growled. "We put them to bed every night and they just keep getting up and coming in, one by one like they have little strings connecting them, and they all wake up at one time."
"Nicia only feels safe when she's with you. She needs time, Max," Airiana said, her hand coming up to nuzzle his burgeoning cock through his sweats while her mouth continued its foray over his belly.
A savage ache invaded, his cock so full and hard he could barely catch his breath. His hand cupped the back of her head as she pressed little butterfly kisses down his belly, driving the air from him so that even his lungs burned. Her hands dropped to the waistband of his sweats, slowly untying the drawstring.
You've gone very quiet, Max.
That soft laughter in her mind sent more blood rushing through his veins, hot with excitement. Whatever she had planned, his body was more than ready for.
I knew we had a problem with the children invading our private space, so I created another one. I've wrapped the gazebo in a weave, Benito's binoculars can't get through, and I've made us our own private bedroom. We might not be able to sleep together out here, but I can love you all I want.
There was purring satisfaction in her voice as his sweats dropped to the floor with a single tug. He stepped out of them and kicked them away. Her hands cupped his sac, fingers moving gently over the velvet smoothness.
I love the way you feel. Your body is as hard as a rock, yet so easy to touch.
She stroked and massaged as she leaned into him to find the smooth head of his cock with her tongue, licking at the pearly drops there as if she might an ice cream cone. He threw back his head, closing his eyes, giving himself up to the slow, fiery burn of her mouth sheathing him.
A sound escaped her throat, a moan of satisfaction, and the note vibrated through his shaft, sending flames dancing through his entire body, radiating out from his cock to every nerve ending he had.
Have I told you how much I love you, Max? I wake up each day in your arms and can't believe how lucky I am to have you.
Her mouth was heaven. Hot. Tight. Wet. She curled her tongue around his shaft, found the sensitive spot beneath the lip of the head. His fists tightened in all the silky hair tumbling around her face, pulling it back. He wanted--no needed--to see her. She looked so beautiful with her mouth stretched around him and her blue eyes looking up at him with so much love.
He'd never considered that he would ever have a family, let alone a woman who would so generously give herself to him. She made these little sounds of joy, of satisfaction, as if giving him pleasure gave her so much more. Each time she made those throaty, sexy notes, rockets went off in his head, through his body, teasing at his full cock until he thought the top of his head might come off.
She drew him deep into her mouth and then slowly released him, moving back up his shaft only to vary the speed so there was no way to catch his breath. Streaks of fire raced from his groin to his brain. He felt his control slipping.
Airiana, he warned.
I've got you, baby, she said softly, you're safe with me. We're alone here. We're safe. Let yourself go. Give yourself to me.
His heart went into overtime. What if he was too rough? Too much for her? Did something she was afraid of? To just give in and let his body and mind go to that place freely, without restraint or worry . . .
Airiana. Was he telling her yes? No? To be careful of what she wished for?
Her mouth tightened around him, she suckled and then did the strange thing with her tongue that practically sent him into another realm.
Give yourself to me, Max. Don't hold back. I don't want you to. I want all of you. I want you to belong to me the way I belong to you.
He closed his eyes and let go, giving himself up to the sheer glory of her loving mouth and hands. It was like leaping off a cliff and free-falling, the exhilaration mixed with joy and trepidation. His hips began a gentle thrusting, taking him deeper into her tight, hot mouth.
Twice he held himself there, feeling her throat constrict him, watching her eyes, watching the sultry, smoky heat that only added to his building need. She'd lit a match to a stick of dynamite. He could see no fear or reluctance in her at all, only hunger, a deep hunger that matched his own.
He gave her just enough time to catch her breath, but she never fought him, never did anything but love him, accepting his rougher side as if every stroke gave her joy. He couldn't believe a woman could be so utterly generous.
He knew he wasn't going to be able to last much longer and he wanted the night with her. She deserved the night with him. With great reluctance, he began to withdraw. She suckled much stronger, frowning a little around his cock, if that was actually possible.
Baby, enough. We've got the night and I need to give back to you.
This is your night. I'm giving it to you. My gift. I want this. I want this night for you, Max.
This is for me, Airiana. I need to be inside you, sharing your skin. He did. He wanted to feel surrounded by her--to lose himself completely in her. He wanted to give her as much--or more--pleasure as she was bringing to him, because no man could have such a woman and not want to keep her always.
He took his index finger and gently inserted it into the side of her mouth, breaking the seal she had on his cock. Come here, honey. I need you right now.
He didn't wait for her consent, he knew he had it. It was in the soft melting of her body, her eyes, so filled with love he was certain he didn't deserve. It was in the generosity of her mouth when she brought him nearly to his knees.
Maxim lifted her into his arms, finding her mouth with his. His kiss was ferocious, demanding, much rougher than he had ever given her. He forced her head back to allow him to explore her mouth the way he wanted, taking his time, devouring the faint peach flavor that was essentially Airiana.
She moaned softly, kissing him back, her mouth open to his, her tongue sliding along his tentatively, but giving him everything he insisted on. She had given herself to him and he was taking what belonged to him. Her mouth was soft and hot and sheer paradise. He could kiss her forever and never tire of it.
He kissed her over and over as he laid her on the soft bamboo sheets she'd covered the mattress in. One hand found her right breast while the other spanned her throat. His appetite was voracious, insatiable, he could never get enough of kissing her. His hand cupped her soft breast, just holding the slight weight in his palm because he could. He felt her shiver. Her breasts were so sensitive, and he loved that about her. His fingers began to roll and tug on her nipple to bring it to rapt attention.
He didn't allow her to catch her breath, he breathed for her, his lungs to hers, sharing their breath, exchanging it. He transferred his attention to her other breast, but already, the sweet peach taste in her mouth had made him hungry for her feminine essence, all that hot honey he knew was spilling out of her in welcome for him.
Maxim kissed his way down her throat to her breasts, pausing to suckle and nip with his teeth, hard, stinging nips his tongue laved and soothed. He continued his travels along the underside of her breasts and along the bruises on her ribs, now mostly healed.
She felt so small, giving him a heady feeling of power. Every kiss, every nip, his hands stroking and caressing left her panting, gasping, begging for more. She was vocal, letting him know by every gasping, ragged breath, every thrash and turn of her head, her bucking hips and writhing body, that she belonged solely to him--that she enjoyed everything he was doing to her.
His hands went to her thighs and she shivered as he parted her legs and blew into all that heat. He loved the fire in her. It was all his. All for him.
This is mine. For me. He stated the fact, for the first time believing it.
All yours, she agreed. I gave myself to you almost the first day I met you.
I'm giving myself wholly to you, Airiana. As messed up and as far gone as I am, I'm yours and always will be. He meant his declaration from the bottom of his shredded soul.
He bent his head to her as he lifted her hips. His mouth settled over her and she screamed, the woven air around the gazebo containing the sound, keeping her cries of pleasure for his ears only.
He took his time devouring her, wanting every drop of her honey, using his tongue to draw it out, suckling strongly, teasing her taut little bud until she was writhing and pleading with him, until his own body made its savage demands.
He moved up and over her swiftly, not waiting for her body to adjust to his size, but surging into her with one, long brutal stroke, burying himself as deep as he could possibly go so that he was surrounded by her. Her feminine sheath gripped him tightly, so tight he felt the scorching hot burn he'd been waiting for.
She was a vise surrounding him with living, moving silk, the walls of her channel hotter than hell as they grasped at him. It took her body a moment to accommodate his size, and just as she was relaxing into him, he set a ferocious pace. He thrust into her over and over, gripping her hips, yanking her legs over his shoulders so he could get deeper, so he could feel that moment when they were one. When her soul connected to his.
It was beautiful. Perfect. He was never going to stop. He pounded into her. Her soft moans and breathless pleas began to rise into a crescendo. Still, he didn't stop. Her ragged breath and gasping cries became a counterpoint to each hard thrust.
Sweat beaded on his body. There was a fine sheen on hers. The night air wrapped them up in warmth. The scent of her candles mingled with the scent of their lovemaking, a heady aphrodisiac.
