She bit her lip instead of begging like she wanted to. She’d never been with a man who made her want to beg before. No one had ever taken this kind of time with her. No one had ever made her feel like she was worth waiting for.
“You’re driving me crazy, here, you know. Yourself too.” She stroked him through the fabric.
“Isn’t that the point?” he murmured, moving down her body and out of reach.
Her response was lost on a moan as he delivered an intimate kiss while he pushed two fingers deep inside her. Then there was no more talking. Only desperate moans from her and appreciative grunts from him as he did things no virgin should know about and brought her to a second orgasm.
Whether she blacked out from pleasure or he just moved quick as lightning, she didn’t know and didn’t care, because while aftershocks were still rippling through her, he was over her with his erection nudging her entrance. His pants were still on, just open at the zipper, belt hardware clinking at his hip.
“I can’t wait any more,” he said, his voice ragged. “I need you.”
“It’s time, baby,” she said, grabbing two handfuls of his ass. “Do it.”
His glutes contracted, and wordlessly, he pushed inside. A hot, smooth thrust took him to the hilt.
He lowered his forehead to hers and whispered, “Shit.”
Then he sucked a breath and came. Hard. His chest shuddered. He groaned. A vein stood out on his neck. She traced it with her tongue.
His pulsing kicked her into another orgasm, and her sharp cry filled the room. He was still coming when her tremors tapered off. He buried his face in her neck and puffed a few shaky breaths. And then it was over.
They lay still for a minute and then he said, “I didn’t even get one thrust in.”
“No. There was one. The first one.”
“And the last,” he said with a chuckle.
“It won’t be the last.” She tugged playfully on the sweaty curls at his nape.
“You bet your ass it won’t.”
And it wasn’t. Not by a long shot.

A Masterpiece of Our Love
By Nikki Lynn Barrett
Two Lives Torn by tragedy.
Eight-year-old Becca and twelve-year-old Hunter cling to each other and life after surviving a plane crash which stole their families.
Two Souls Seeking Love.
Each year, from the time she was old enough to travel on her own, Becca met up with Hunter on the island that altered their lives forever.
Until he stopped showing.
Her constant. Her link to the past. Gone in the blink of an eye.
Two Lives Bound by Secret.
Suffering more heartbreak, Hunter returns to the one place he’s always sought comfort, the island where he and Becca met. It was the place that stole from him, and in the same instance gave to him. He hasn't been back or spoken to Becca in four years.
Though he’s sure she must hate him for disappearing, Hunter discovers the girl gone, now a woman in her place. Hunter is determined to prove to Becca he isn’t the same twelve-year-old boy of yesteryear.
But someone isn't happy about their reunion...
Strange things begin happening. Letters start showing up in their hotel rooms and at home with cryptic messages.
Two Broken Hearts Heal as One.
With the mystery unsolved, Hunter convinces Becca to spend the remainder of the summer back home with him, both for safety and to give them a chance to discover the adults they’ve now become.
Will love get a chance to blossom, or will the past come back and tear the masterpiece of their love apart once and for all?
A Masterpiece of Our Love Excerpt:
"Guess what I found?" Hunter carried a sweater and a pair of sweatpants in his hands. "You'll be nice and warm in no time." He handed them to her.
Becca pointed to his head. She wished her words would just come out already.
"You don't want to change into dry clothes first?" He raised a brow, then winced. "Damn that hurts. Okay fine, you win. I will probably curse and go stark crazy, so bear with me please?"
She may not have been able to find her voice to speak, but a quiet laugh escaped her throat. At least, that's what she thought it was.
Hunter crossed his arms over his bare chest. "Are you laughing at me?" Amusement danced in his gorgeous eyes. "That's so messed up! There is a little devilish side to you after all. I like it," he teased.
Becca smirked and pointed at the first aid kit. She wondered if he remembered any of the sign language, back from when she'd been mute and unable to communicate all those years ago. But so far, he'd been able to understand what she needed. The very first time he came to visit her, he'd learned it so they could talk. She remembered that day well on her aunt's back porch when Hunter sat beside her. He asked if she remembered him. She nearly cried that he'd taken the time to understand sign language for her.
"All right little devil, have at it. Just don't get offended for any swear words I may use." He cracked a smile. She loved that he could still have a sense of humor. It showed that even though he had some injuries, he was the same old silly Hunter she knew. She pointed down at the floor, wanting him to kneel before her. Again, he cued in right away and lowered to his knees.
Becca opened up the first aid kit and searched for what she needed. As she pulled out a large bandage, cotton swabs and the small bottle of peroxide to clean the wound, Hunter hissed. She flicked her gaze back to him.
"Call it psychological warfare. I'm anticipating that it's going to sting like you wouldn't believe. I know, I know, I'm being a baby and I should just shut up." Hunter raised his hands. "Think you can do that one handed? I might need you to hold mine with the other."
Becca grinned and held out her hand. She wished her voice would work with her so she could tell him how cute he was being. She couldn't be too sure if he was putting on an act to make her laugh or if he really was bothered by what she had to do. Regardless, she felt needed. Important. Something she longed for. When his shaky fingers curled over hers, a ripple of electricity zipped through her.
Now those were strange, random thoughts.
"Your hand is so cold. Not that mine is any better," Hunter said softly. "I know, I'm stalling. I should just man up and take it, huh? You won't tell anyone about my weak side there, will you?" He chuckled.
She slid him a knowing grin and put a finger to her lips, then ran the finger across them as if to say 'My lips are sealed'.
"I knew I could count on you."
