“That would have been a damned shame,” he told her, surging up and covering her with his body, placing his aching cock against her hot, wet core. “Because you were made to be touched, Allison. You are the most beautiful, sensual woman I’ve ever known.”
She gasped at the sudden change in position, bracing her hands against his chest.
“I’m sorry,” he murmured, leaning down to press his lips tenderly to hers. “Next time, you can explore and play as much as you want. Someday, I’d love it if you’d take me in your mouth until I reach completion.” His cock jumped against her at the mere thought of it, and he willed it into submission. “But I don’t think I can take such sweet torture right now. I’ve wanted you, wanted this, for so long.”
“Yes,” she whispered. “Make me yours, Quinn. I want you so much.”
Taking himself in hand, he rubbed the tip of his cock against her sweet, hot core until she was once again writhing beneath him, obviously aroused once more. When he couldn’t bear it one second longer, he pushed himself a little way in, gasping as her warm, wet heat enveloped him.
“You feel so good,” he breathed. “Is this all right?”
She nodded and clenched his shoulders, bracing herself for what was to come. “I’m ready, my love.”
My love. The sweetness of her endearment was his undoing. He thrust his hips forward, seating himself deeply within her.
A soft cry escaped her, and he held himself still, shivering with need.
“Allison? Do you want me to stop? I will if you want me to.” The question was wrenched from somewhere deep inside him, and he told himself he meant it, even though it was the last thing in the world he wanted to do.

ALLISON CLUTCHED QUINN’S back, staring up into his gorgeous face, her heart melting that even now, though he was buried deep inside her, he was giving her the power to stop him.
“It didn’t hurt as bad as I expected,” she hastened to reassure him. “It burns a bit, but the pain is already fading. But give me a moment. I just want to feel you inside me.”
He brushed a strand of hair from her eyes, smiling tenderly, even though she could feel him trembling to hold back. “You are the most amazing woman in the world,” he said softly. “I can’t believe you’re mine.”
She leaned up and pressed her lips tenderly to his. “I can’t believe you’re mine either.”
Closing her eyes, she concentrated on the steely heat of him inside her, in awe of the fact that for this moment, at least, they were truly one. “You feel so good inside me.”
Seeming beyond words, he simply kissed her deeply, then pulled back, slowly moving within her. The first few strokes stung a bit, but then the pain fell away, and all that was left was the incredible sense of fullness and connection.
At first, he moved slow and sensuously, but when he seemed to sense that it wasn’t hurting her anymore, he unleashed his strength and power, and all she could do was hang on. Then, reaching between them, he rubbed that part where all the pleasure originated, and she stopped thinking at all.
Waves of pleasure crashed over her for the second time that night, stronger than ever with him inside her, and she couldn’t help but sob his name. The sound seemed to trigger something in him as well because he lost all semblance of control, thrusting wildly as she rode the lasting crests of bliss.
Then he stiffened and cried out, and she could feel his seed explode deep inside her.
For long moments, they remained linked together in a frozen tableau of satiation, panting heavily as they struggled to get their bodies back under control, but then he rolled off her, pulling her up close to his side, hugging her tightly.
“Are you all right?” he whispered hoarsely. “Did I hurt you?”
She shook her head, snuggling up against him, loving the feel of their naked bodies pressed together. “It was incredible. Even better than I imagined.”
He laughed softly. “For me as well.” Leaning down, he pulled the blanket at the foot of the bed up over them, cocooning them in a comfortable, warm bubble.
“Can you stay the night with me?” she asked softly. “I want to sleep in your arms.”
“I’d love that,” he agreed. “But I have to leave early. I have a busy day at work tomorrow.”
She nodded sleepily. “I just want you here with me tonight.”
And as she drifted off to sleep, warm and safe in his arms, she realized that she could be pregnant already. For the first time, the thought didn’t terrify her. With Quinn by her side, she felt she could do anything, even be a good wife and mother.
