Because it spun the room and my head, licked through my veins, and knocked something loose inside me.
My spirit thrashed when it touched those dark places. Kindling and sparks.
Pushing up onto my hands, I pulled almost all the way out, until the tip of my dick was just hanging on.
My eyes swept over her sweet, sweet body where she was laid out beneath me, and her knees hugged my hips eagerly. Her nails sinking into my back. “Kale.”
I pressed back into her heat.
Slow and sure.
Deep and promising.
Until I was filling her, the girl taking all of me the same way I was taking her.
Wholly.
“You are perfection. So goddamned perfect.”
She whimpered, her perfect tits jutting toward me as she arched.
Demanding more. Emotion thick as it washed across her gorgeous face.
My hips dragged out then surged forward.
Possessing.
I quickened with each thrust, and Hope met every one with the needy roll of her body. Her hips lifted from the bed to meet mine, my name a constant prayer from her lips.
I dropped back to my elbows, every inch of us pressed together because we no longer knew how to be apart.
I fucked her and consumed her and murmured her name. Kissed her mouth. Her neck, her jaw, her tits. My lips everywhere I could reach.
She whimpered and begged and moaned, nails scratching deep into my skin. Sinking in until we were a blur of rocks and moans and twined bodies.
And I wanted to make a million promises.
Promise it all.
Pleasure threatened at the base of my spine, my balls tightening as I drove deeper and madder and faster.
Hope grasped at my shoulders as her moans and pleas increased.
Until she was begging, “Please. Kale. Oh, God, I’m close . . . please.”
I edged back, pushing up onto a hand, giving myself a second to let the other smooth over her unforgettable face.
Then I dipped my thumb into the well of her mouth. She sucked it, tongue grazing the flesh, nearly sending me flying right then.
Tugging it free, I cupped her round, full breast and ran my thumb across her nipple.
She mewled a tiny plea.
Slowly, I dragged it down the valley of her stomach, winding her up, before I slipped it lower and against her clit.
I circled and flicked and teased as I climbed to my knees. The new position let me take her deeper.
And this time . . . I took her hard.
Her head rocked back on the mattress, and her hips lifted from the bed.
Every fuck of my hips drove her higher.
Higher and higher and higher until I could see it.
The second it split.
The orgasm ripping through her being.
Hope tried to mute her scream. To control the way the quivers of bliss ravaged her body.
It was the exact same second that ecstasy went streaking through mine.
The most intense kind of pleasure rocked through my body. I held back a roar when I came, pouring inside her, not giving a single thought to consequence except for the one where I might get to keep her.
I panted over her before I slumped down, resting most of my weight on top of her. Hope wrapped her slender arms back around me and held on as I rolled us to our sides.
She smiled at me.
Smiled this smile that demolished me.
“Are you okay?” I asked her.
Her fingertips danced across my brow, my jaw, my lips. It wasn’t shyness that blossomed on her cheeks, just soft, sweet affection. “I think you ruined me.”
There was a tease in it, mixed with a heavy dose of awe.
I let the smirk ride to my mouth and pulled her naked body flush with mine. “You think you’re ruined?”
A giggle slipped between her swollen lips. “Really?”
I ran the palm of my hand over the top of her head, cupping it from behind. “Yeah, really, Hope. That was . . . I don’t know how to properly describe what I feel when I’m with you. And getting to be with you like that? Inside you? You own me, Princess.”
Redness flushed her cheeks, and she drummed her fingers over my bare shoulder. “I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around, Kale. I’ve never experienced anything like that.”
I ran my nose down her face, nuzzling up under her chin. “So, you’re telling me you like my stamina after all?”
Another giggle. “If I tell you I do, will it go to your head?”
I laughed, pressing my hips to hers in a playful way, my dick already perking up with the contact. “Uh, I’m thinking that’s a possibility.”
Smacking at my arm, she laughed, keeping it quiet, so much easiness floating through the air. I gathered her closer and locked my arms fully around her, loving the way she felt against me.
All warm, silky flesh and lush curves and tender spirit.
Light.
Rolling again, I pulled her on top of me, and more of those giggles slipped free. And fuck. I loved being her haven. Giving her some reprieve.
