I’m naked before she gets her second heel off. I don’t waste time either. I throw her on the bed and follow her down, pressing her slight weight into the mattress.
I mouth a line from her ear down her neck to her collarbone. My fingers trace along the side of her frame, indenting at the waist and bumping over the curve of her hip. Her body is so sexy, so warm, so inviting.
I want to go slow, but I can’t, not this first time. “I lied before,” I say as I move down her body. “It might hurt. You’re tight, and I’m big. I might hurt you, but I promise it will get better.”
“I’m not afraid,” she says, and somehow those words are so hot, I come a little. I give myself a tight, painful squeeze to fight back the orgasm that is pulsating at the base of my spine.
Her legs part for me as I come even with her sex. I take a deep breath, sending her spiced scent into my lungs.
“Your cunt is so sexy, Tinsley.”
She chokes. “Don’t say that.”
I don’t even have to look up to know her cheeks are as red as a cherry. I laugh low in my throat. “Can’t lie about something as serious as this.” I draw a finger down the seam of her pussy, pushing into her hot core. She’s soaked and ready.
I kiss her there, lapping up her juice, winding her up, making her so hot that any pain on my entrance will be fleeting, lost in the storm of her own ecstasy.
When her toes curl and her legs tense and the orgasm wrenched from her body by my mouth overtakes her, I slowly slip inside, taking my time to not hurt her. I’ve done too much of that. Never again. I know there will be a small pinch of pain, but I hope my mouth can distract her from that.
“This is me giving you everything I’ve got,” I say hoarsely as I stroke her. “My mind, my body, my soul.”
“What about your heart?” she asks in a voice so tiny that I can barely hear her.
“That, too, Tinsley. All of me.” I fuck her hard. The headboard slams against the wall. The sheets come lose. The comforter falls to the floor. Tinsley shoves a fist into her mouth to muffle her screams. I clench my teeth. Sweat pours down the sides of my face, and my biceps shake as I brace myself above her.
The sounds of our fucking fill the room: the slap of our bodies, the wet sucking sound as I thrust and withdraw, the small whimpers from her, the deep groans from me. It’s a song that I want to play for the rest of my life.
When she comes, the fuse goes off. A bomb explodes in my head. My control snaps, and all I can do is let the animal instincts take over. I pound into her, thick streams of seed pouring into her body. I seal my mouth against hers to swallow her cries, to breathe my promise into her body. I will protect you, I will keep you, I will cherish you from this day to the end of days and no one or no thing can sever this bond. Not lawyers, not wills, not anything.
CHAPTER 16
TINSLEY
I awaken slowly to fingers grazing back and forth across my stomach. When I finally open my eyes, I realize that Leo was watching me as I slept. I can’t help but smile up at his handsome face.
“You’ve developed a staring problem,” I tease him.
“Don’t see it as a problem.” He gives me a charming smile, something that is rare from him. I’m surprised to see he has a dimple in his left cheek. How could I have never noticed it before? I know the answer is that he was always a big ole grump when he saw me in the past, but I don’t want to think about that. I want to enjoy this new place that we’re in together.
“How long have you been awake?”
“About an hour.”
“You’ve been staring at me for an hour?” I grab the blanket and pull it over my head. I’m sure I look like a hot mess right now. I lost count of how many times he’d taken me last night. After the first time we ended up in my bathtub where I was supposed to soak so I wouldn’t be too sore today. That hadn’t lasted long. I’d easily talked him into getting in with me.
I ended up straddling him, and we had round two. Then another round when he tried to towel dry me off. Oh, I can't forget when he woke me in the middle of the night with his mouth between my legs.
“You think you can get away from me now?” He yanks the blanket back down, revealing my naked body to him. I realize quickly that he has boxers on.
