CHAPTER9
mariella
Every muscle in my body tensed. Then he nudged my thighs apart and any last bit of self-control I had shredded when his tongue thrust inside me. I grabbed handfuls of the blanket in my fists. He slid his hands under my ass and tilted my hips up to change the angle. The next thrust sent his tongue deeper. My thighs shook, threatening to give out.
His chuckle vibrated through me, even as he circled my clit with his tongue.
“Jesus, Kai, I can’t take it.”
“You can and you will.” His whiskers brushed against my inner thighs. “I’ll say when you’ve had enough, my star of the sea.”
He bent his head and sucked on my clit. Stars exploded behind my eyelids. My soul literally left my body, expanding across space and time.
“Oh. My. God.” I didn’t recognize my own voice. I also didn’t recognize myself in the woman who gripped his shoulders, tugged him up her body, and crashed her lips over his. The taste of my release exploded across my tongue, and I drank it in.
His thick, rigid cock nudged against my thigh. Even though I’d just exploded around him, my body craved more. I wanted to feel him inside me.
I twisted my head, breaking the seal of his lips on mine just long enough to ask, “Do you have a condom?”
He shook his head. “It’s okay though. We don’t have to—”
I silenced his words with another kiss. I’d heard rumors about the guys at the campground who took tourists out on the boats at night. Hoping they believed in safe sex, I rolled over and pulled open a drawer next to the bench. A box of condoms sat on top. I ripped it open and held one out to Kai.
He got to his knees and fisted his cock in his hand. I propped myself up on my elbows and watched while he ran his hand up and down his length a few times. He grinned as he slid the condom on, then lowered himself on top of me. I spread my legs, desperate for him to fill me.
“No regrets?” he whispered against my ear.
I answered by thrusting my hips up. He sank into me.
“You feel so good,” I mumbled.
“It’s about to get a hell of a lot better.” He made good on his promise, driving into me over and over, pulling out until my pussy wept at the loss of his touch, before pounding into me again.
I lost track of the mini orgasms that rolled through me as he worked himself into a frenzy. He played my body like a well-tuned instrument, driving me to heights I had no idea existed.
Just when I thought I couldn’t take any more, he held himself over me, his body taut. I opened my eyes and met his gaze. Then he slammed into me a final time, grunting his release as a powerful swell swept me up and carried me higher than I’d ever been before.
“Kai, oh, Kai.” I held onto him, riding the wave, not wanting it to ever end.
“That’s it, beautiful.” He stayed like that until the tremors passed. Then he pulled me on top of him and wrapped his arms around me.
I snuggled against him, more secure and at peace than I’d been in years.
“You okay?” he whispered.
Nodding against his chest, I twined my fingers with his.
He trailed his other hand over my lower back, dipping down to the curve of my ass, then back up again. “You’re incredible, Mariella.”
I shook my head. “No, you’re incredible. I’m no one special.”
He put his hand under my cheek and forced me to meet his gaze. Anger flashed in his eyes. “Don’t talk about yourself like that.”
“It’s true.” I closed my eyes. The way he looked at me made me wish I could be the woman he thought I was. But I knew better.
“Do you want to know what I see when I look at you?” His voice came out soft. “I see a woman who has no idea how strong she is. Who’s running from something because she doesn’t think she’s powerful enough to face it.”
I cracked my eyelids and stared at him. “She’s not strong enough.”
