Oh, she ached for this with all her soul. “I hope I don’t disappoint you. I haven’t been with anyone since you.”
“You can’t know how much that turns me on. Just let me love you.” He dragged her down onto his ugly couch. “I’ll be with you every step of the way.”
He put his glass of champagne on the coffee table then stole hers and set it right next to his. “We deserve this, Beth. You and me.” He pointed to her then to him then to her again. His face had a fierce look to it.
“Do you really think we can make it work?”
He smiled a very wicked smile. “I know it. Just let me prove it to you.”
She shivered in anticipation. “I just want to please you.”
He put a finger on her lips. “Shhhh. You worry too much, y’know. Nothing pleases me more than being here with you right now. Kissing you.” He replaced his finger with his mouth, spreading a soft, achingly sweet kiss across her mouth. He cupped her face in his warm, rough hands. “Right now it’s just us, no past, our whole future ahead of us.” He brushed his lips over hers, once, twice, three times. “Please. Let me make love to you.” He pressed his lips to her forehead. “One night at a time.”
“But…”
He put two fingers against her lips. “No buts. Just let me love you tonight.”
Just tonight. After all the lonely days and the lonely nights, she had the promise of this night. Her heart lurched and she trembled. “Jeff.”
He gathered her into his arms, he pulled out the hair tie holding her braid and ran his fingers through her hair.
She moaned as he gently massaged her scalp.
He nuzzled her hair and whispered, “It’s going to be so good, Bethy.”
She climbed into his lap and straddled him, placing her head so that her mouth hovered over his, so she could kiss him the exact way she wanted to be kissed.
Like a woman in love.
Chapter Thirty-Two
She’d never kissed him before. She’d responded to his kisses, but hadn’t made a move on her own.
Ever.
So he let her have her way with him.
Who was he to deny a lady what she wanted?
Not him.
Her soft lips parted over his, inviting him in. Jeff slid his tongue against hers, his head spinning with the force of their kiss. He sank into her, each kiss hotter, more avid and greedy than the one before. He felt her heart trip against his chest, could hear the soft moans she made in her throat.
He pulled his mouth from hers. “I need more.” Without waiting another beat, he gathered her into his arms, managed to stand and carried her into his bedroom. He made it to the bed and laid her on it. Damn, she looked amazing, clothes rumpled by his hands, hair mussed by his fingers, lips swollen by his kisses.
He had to have her. He toed off his shoes and stretched on his side next to her. Stroking her hair away from her face, he spread it on his pillow. “You’re so beautiful.” He dropped a kiss on her forehead. “You can’t begin to imagine how many times I dreamt of seeing you right here, in my bed.”
“Jeff,” she whispered, the desperate sound making him hard and aching to bury himself in her body.
“I’m going to touch you now, I can’t wait another minute.”
Sitting up, she licked her lips. “Please.”
“Oh, baby. I was hoping you’d say that.”
He nearly swallowed his tongue when she pulled her sweater and tee over her head, leaving just a pretty sheer peach colored bra trimmed with pale pink lace and a tiny darker pink bow nestled between her breasts. He cupped one breast with his hand while he pressed his mouth against the other one, tonguing her nipple through the delicate fabric of her bra.
“Oh, God, yes!” She threaded her hands into his hair and brought his head closer to her breasts and held him there. Hooking his fingers in the cups of her bra, he slipped them down so he could feast on her bare flesh.
She gasped. “They’re a little bigger than they were.”
“They’re gorgeous.” He tweaked one long pink nipple as he scraped his teeth along the other.
She undulated underneath him, her pelvis arching up and down, begging for his touch. He ran his hand down the soft skin of her stomach to where she churned. “Shhhh, darlin’. We’ve got all night.”
She worked at the buttons on his shirt, her fingers clumsy.
“Let me take care of this.” Jeff reluctantly maneuvered onto his knees. He pulled his shirt out of his pants and jerked it over his head just like she had done with her own.
Beth rose to her knees keeping her eyes locked with his. She reached behind her and slowly unhooked her bra. After letting it slide between them, she took his hand and guided it to cup one breast.
Jeff sucked in sharp breath as he touched her soft smooth skin. Her breasts were round, pale, and crowned with rosy stems surrounded by puffy areolas, so much more beautiful than he remembered. Needing to taste her, he guided her back down on the bed and stretched out next to her. He teased one nipple with his tongue while molding the other with his hand.
“Mmmmmm.” She leaned into his touch. “So good.”
“I can make you feel better,” he murmured against her skin.
“Please—”
He didn’t need to be asked twice. He went, stripped her out of her jeans, desperate to see all of her. “You are even more lovely than I remember.”
He scraped his teeth against each of her nipples then ran his mouth down her torso, licking here, nipping there. He settled her legs over his shoulders and cupped her sweet, soft bottom. He lifted her, nuzzled his face in her soft curls and used his thumbs to open her up to him.
Wet. She was so wet and ready. Using the tip of his tongue, he laved and teased the hard little button of her clitoris. She nearly flew off the bed and he was glad he had a good grip on her ass. “Do you like that?”
“Eep!” She squeaked, the sound startled and helpless.
“What about this?” He smiled against her soft flesh and fluttered his tongue over her sensitive bud. “Like that, too?”
“Yesssssss.”
He lapped and lapped at her, reveling in the spicy scent and taste of her while she trembled.
So responsive, his Beth. So damn responsive to his touch.
“Oh, oh, ohhhhhhh,” Beth panted. He felt her start to shiver violently as she lifted her hips up into his mouth and his cock ached, eager to be inside her.
He feasted on her soft, wet flesh as he took her closer to the edge. One more pass of his tongue, then another, then a slight scrape of his teeth and she fell apart.
She screamed as she came and he chased every last tremor, every last sensation, fluttering his tongue over her exploding bud. When she finally relaxed, he moved up alongside her to hold her close.
“You okay, baby?” He kissed the top of her head and rolled one hard, pebbled nipple between his thumb and forefinger.
“I didn’t think it could be like that,” she said, her voice shaky.
“Did you like it? ’Cause I gotta tell you there’s a lot more where that came from.”
“Any more might kill me.”
“Nope, not gonna let that happen.” If he didn’t get inside her soon, he was the one who might die. “Are you ready for your second trip to heaven?”
“Oh, God.”
He hopped off the bed and took care of taking off the rest of his clothes, easing them gently over his massive erection.
“Yikes.” Her blue eyes grew round as licked her lips.
“It’s all for you, darlin’.” He liberated his painfully erect penis, desperation riding him to thrust into her hot, slick sheath. “All for you.”
****
Beth’s heart thudded as she tried to catch her breath. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from watching him free his shaft from his clothes. She didn’t remember him being that big.
And what had happened right before that? The thing with his mouth? She’d heard of it, of course, but never thought the pl
easure would be that intense. She’d certainly never had an orgasm like that before.
Actually, she’d never had an orgasm with someone else in the room. It was a revelation.
Jeff fished around in the nightstand, flinging things out of it in his haste. “Gotcha.” He pulled out several little foil packets and tossed all but one on the bed.
He ripped that one open and rolled it down the hard length of him. “I need to be inside you, Bethy. I can’t wait any more.”
Her inner muscles spasmed in anticipation. “Me neither.”
He lowered himself between her legs and covered her gently. “I’ll try to go slow, but I can’t promise anything. I’ve waited so long to be inside you again.”
“I can’t wait, either.” She trembled. “Come inside me now.”
He kissed her hard on the mouth, wrapped her legs around his lower back, and guided his erection into her soft, welcoming heat. She gasped when he pushed all the way inside. Oh, this. This was what she had longed for, that moment when he burrowed deep inside her all the way to her womb.
“Damn. You are so tight,” he rasped, his voice grating against her skin. “So damn tight. Am I hurting you?”
Tears welled behind her eyelids as she stretched to accept all of him, but not because he hurt her. She blinked them back. “No, you’re not hurting me. I love how you fill me.”
“Thank God.” He started to move in slow shallow thrusts at first, gradually picking up speed and going deeper. She arched her pelvis, meeting him stroke for stroke. Every time he moved inside her, that wonderful long, hard column of his rubbed against a sensitive spot high inside her. Little whimpers escaped her throat with every pass.
Those whimpers turned into full-blown screams as he moved faster and harder. His breathing was harsh and ragged as he drove them higher and higher. Every relentless thrust of Jeff’s sent her up, up, up and then finally over the breaking point. She shattered into million pieces, convulsing in wave after wave of excruciating pleasure.
“Me, too, baby,” Jeff groaned as he pushed into her deep, so deep. “Me, too.” One last amazing thrust and he came, groaning as he filled her.
The sound of their hoarse, ragged breathing filled the room. Her inner muscles kept clutching and releasing him, the aftershocks, she guessed, of incredible loving. He groaned before he braced a forearm on each side of her head. His head bowed and he claimed her mouth in one incredible, kiss.
“I’ll get off you in a minute,” he murmured.
“No hurry,” she assured him. “I love being with you like this.”
“I’m heavy.” He rolled over next to her, took care of the condom, gathered her into his arms and held her tight. “That was amazing. You,” he dropped a kiss onto the top of her head, “are amazing.”
“I had no idea it could be like that.” Beth shivered in his arms. “It never was before.”
He frowned. “What?”
She sighed. “Those were the first orgasms I’ve ever had that I didn’t give myself.” She felt her color rise. So humiliating to admit.
He went absolutely still. “Man, I’m sorry. I had no idea.” His voice turned gruff and sounded like a rusty gear trying to work itself free. “What a stupid jerk I was. Why didn’t you say something?”
Levering herself up so she could look into his eyes. “I didn’t know any better. And I was so shy, even if I had known what I was missing, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you. I just liked being with you. Holding you. Kissing you.” She pressed a warm kiss onto his lips.
“I’m glad you weren’t too shy tonight.” He grinned. “I may have picked up some skills I didn’t have back then in my mom’s Volvo.”
She snorted. “I guess you have. I’ve got some catching up to do.”
Laughing, he gave her a squeeze. “Well, there it is. We’d better get working on that. You are so beautiful. I hate repeating myself but you just are.” He ran his hand up her body to cradle her hypersensitive breast and rub his thumb over its still hard, pebbly rose stem.
She held her breath as both peaks of her breasts, even the one he wasn’t stroking, hardened and lengthened. “Oh, God.”
“You like that?”
She could only nod.
“I love how your body responds to my touch.” He stole a kiss. “I just really love you.”
“I love you,” Beth whispered.
“Then I am the luckiest of mortals.” He rolled over onto his back, dragged her with him and draped her body over his. “Kiss me again.”
She did and they let the kiss spin on and on, the stuff of dreams.
“Hey, Bethy.” He smiled at her so sweetly.
“Hey, Jeff.” That smile bathed her in its warmth.
“I’m putting you in charge.”
She blinked. “What do you mean?”
“It’s another one of those tricks I learned about. You’re in charge.” He reached to the side and pulled up one of those square foil packages he’d thrown on the bed. “Ride me.” After handing her the condom, his big warm hands claimed her breasts and his fingers tweaked her achy nipples.
She felt his penis harden again. “I think I’m going to like this.” She ripped open the foil square and shifted so she could roll it on him.
He hissed as her hands caressed him. Feeling powerful, she grabbed and lowered herself down the solid, stiff length of him. Once she had completely covered him, once he had filled her to the brim, she swiveled her hips in small teasing circles.
“Oh, baby, you ride me so good.”
She chuckled. “Let me show you how good.”
No doubt about it. Being in charge ruled.
Chapter Thirty-Three
Jeff lay on his back, Beth wrapped around him, sleeping deeply. Poor thing. He’d worn her out.
He had a lot to think about, the first being all the regret he had about how he had treated her back in the day.
He’d been so clueless.
Selfish.
How generous of her not to blame him. Truth to tell, he was pretty ignorant about giving a woman pleasure then. He’d just assumed because he’d gotten off, she had.
Holding her in his arms while she slept brought him back to that one night they’d had when they tried to elope.
Beth shifted against him and he adjusted his position. Beyond his misgivings about the past, this was the absolute best night of his life.
****
Beth woke to the feel of Jeff’s lips nibbling at the sensitive hollow behind her earlobe. The stubble covering his jaw scraped deliciously against the side of her neck and his gentle fingers plucked her diamond hard nipples.
Spooned against her back, he grumbled, “‘Bout time you woke up.”
She hummed. “I thought I was having a good dream.”
He chuckled. “I can make it a better dream. I can make it an amazing reality.” Keeping one hand on her breast, he ran the other one down her body to cup her mound.
Beth wiggled and undulated against his questing fingers. He parted the soft pillowy folds to tease the achy bud hidden there. She moaned.
“You’re already wet for me, darlin’.” He nipped her earlobe and softly pinched the ruched peak of the nearest breast. “I want you to come for me. I want to feel you fall apart in my arms.”
He alternated rubbing that needy little button up and down then traced circles around it. “Come for me, Beth. I need you to come for me.”
Pleasure spiraled within her with every pass of his fingertip. She couldn’t contain the helpless mewls of excitement that escaped her throat.
So close, she was so close, only one pass more over her clit
She exploded with a scream of ecstasy, bucking against his wicked hand, shuddering in wave after wave of pleasure. Coming back to herself as he chased every last wave of her release, she panted harshly, desperate for air.
“Good morning.” He flipped her onto her back and smiled Satan’s very own grin. “Think you could get used to waking up that way every day?”
He held onto her thighs as he moved deeply within her, smoothly gliding in and out. Still over stimulated from her first orgasm, the waves of desire built inside her again as she raced with him to go over the hot edge of fulfillment. Their mouths fused together, desperate for the taste of each other.
Their climaxes destroyed them, her first, him following right after.
When he could move, he fell next to her and pulled her into his arms, settling her head over his heart. It thumped heavily beneath her ear.
Had she ever felt so safe? So warm? So loved?
Neither said anything for a while. Beth closed her eyes and absorbed the feeling of being pressed close to the strong masculine warmth of him.
He pushed her hair out of her eyes and kissed the top of her head. “What are you thinking?”
“I’m thinking that I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.” She smiled. “I’m thinking I’m going to keep you pretty busy making it up to me.”
He chuckled. “It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it.”
“I never knew what all the fuss about sex was. I mean, I loved being held by you and kissing you, but I never got the whole fireworks thing. Okay, I knew about the urges and figured out how to take care of them but it was no big whoop.” She grinned. “What we just did was huge whoop, the hugest whoop ever. I had no idea.”
“You have no idea how sorry I am about that I disappointed you back then.”
She sat up and grinned. “I’ll just have to let you make it up to me.” She pressed her lips to his. “Over and over and over again. Until you get it right.”
“I think I better get started.”
“Good plan.”
He kissed his way down her body and proceeded to make good on his promise.
