He placed her on the bed, threw her legs over his shoulders, and put his face between her thighs. “Well, this is promising.” Mesmerized by his intense focus, she watched his hands run up and down her body before he lavished her clit with his tongue. She shivered with pleasure. “You really do excel at everything you do.”
“Never doubt me,” he growled before turning his head and nipping her thigh. “Did you mean it?”
Biting her bottom lip, she nodded. “Yes. I’m all in. No reservations. You and me on a direct flight to the moon.”
“Good. Because this is it.”
“Mmmkay.” Holding his gaze, she watched him again lower his head and lavish her body with attention. Everything tingled, and she would have sworn on the stand that the room was on fire. Seconds away from climaxing, she was surprised when he stopped and lifted his head.
“For the record, Tanc…”
“Can we save any sweet confessions for later?”
“It feels like this could be more than love.”
Her mind stuttered. Did he use the L word?
“An obsession.”
“With me?” she whispered in confusion.
“A compulsion, really.”
She dropped her head against the bed and whimpered. Why was he trying to make her head explode?
“A knot too tangled to be unwound.”
Were they entwined? “Are you professing…”
“Yes!” He slid his finger into her tight heat and pumped slowly in and out. “I am.”
“Oh.” Her hips answered without consultation, and she gripped the sheets. “Okay.” Not able to process his declaration, she let her questions go and enjoyed his commitment to the task. Arching closer, she felt his hands dig into her bottom with both hands as he alternated between licking and thrusting his tongue.
Rocking her hips against his face, she climaxed seconds later and felt her defenses give way. She sucked in shallow breaths and tried to recover from the physical blast of pleasure as well as the emotional one. “I think you should know that we’re going to have to make this work.”
He crawled up her body and kissed her stomach. “Oh yeah?”
“You are it. There will be no moving on if we fail at this relationship. Next chapters and new adventures won’t be an option with anyone but you.”
“Damn, babe.” He chuckled and ran his hand possessively along her neck. “I didn’t know eating your pretty pussy would make you confess your feelings.” Planting his hands on either side of her head, he grinned. “I guess I’ll have to make it a regular thing.”
“You take my breath away.” She pressed their mouths together and pulled him against her body.
“Same,” he whispered.
She cradled his face and thought she might drown in the emotion shining in his eyes. “You are so,” before she could finish, he kissed her firmly and flipped her onto her belly. “Beautiful,” she whispered as he pulled her to her knees and plunged his hard shaft inside with a deep groan. “Oh…well…this feels...”
“Good?” he growled, thrusting slowly.
“Yes!” Gripping the sheets, she sighed with pleasure as his hand snaked around and tweaked her clit. Focusing on how glorious he made her feel, she yelped when he pressed his thumb between her ass cheeks. “Whoah.”
“Too much?” he groaned against her ear.
“I don’t know.” She focused on the unfamiliar sensation as his thrusts slowed. The stroke of his thumb back and forth over the sensitive knot of flesh was surprisingly seductive. “I think that…”
“You like it?” he finished quietly.
“Yes.” She relaxed and heard him growl.
