“You’re not ready, Charlie.” Ayden unbuttoned the sweater and freed her reluctant arms.
Charlie let him have one arm at a time to pull the sweater off then clamped them back in place on his shoulder blades. Ayden pushed her shirt up and discovered she didn’t wear a bra tonight. She hadn’t worn any underwear. She wanted to be unrestricted in case he tried to tangle her up in them like he had before. The damn skirt was the only barrier, but it was so long it twisted around her legs. As long as he held her in place, she couldn’t get exposed to him.
“Yes, Ayden.” Charlie arched trying to force his hand farther down.
“Okay,” Ayden whispered as he lifted off, of her and rolled to his side. He pulled the clothes free and appreciated the awesome power of her naked form. Charlie was supermodel quality with girl next door heart. He loved that. When the time was right, he would tell her and show her just how much. Charlie loved him, but he wasn’t sure if it was true love or the kind of love you end up giving friends and family. She couldn’t know any more than he did, and he was still sorting it out.
Charlie was past reason. Looking at Ayden’s naked body was too much for any woman to bear. She slipped her hand around him, and he groaned. “I wanted to take this slow, darlin’.” Ayden now fought for position as Charlie was trying to topple him.
“I can’t. I need you now.” Charlie spoke in strangled desperation as she pushed harder against his chest with both hands and climbed on top of him. She reached between them to grab him again.
“Let me at least…” Ayden felt the soft wet skin on the tip of his erection and gave up the fight. He wanted to make sure she had come, leaving her more relaxed and open. The woman was tight like a virgin, and he wasn’t a small man by any measure. Charlie seemed determined though as she sank onto him.
Charlie watched his bottom lip disappear and felt his big hands move to her bottom and his fingers sinking into her flesh gripping her tight. She pushed down on him and took a deep breath. If these things could stretch enough for a newborn to come out of it, surely it could let Ayden in.
“Careful, you’ll hurt us both.” Ayden lifted her a little then let her push farther down. “You’re so tight, darlin’.”
“I’m close.” Charlie had been so worked up all afternoon she was surprised she had lasted this long. He could have made her come just by looking at her the right way. Now as she pushed half of him inside, she couldn’t hold it back.
Ayden wasn’t expecting it at all. He wasn’t all the way in, and she was bearing down on him whispering his name in a wave of orgasm. Her nails bit into his forearms, and her head fell back. It was amazing and beautiful, and maybe now, she would calm down enough that he could take her slowly. Charlie was a powder keg. One spark and she just exploded. He hoped she would be this way forever.
Charlie pulled her head down to look at him. His blue eyes should have been flamed with desire. Instead, they were soft and tender and far too calm for what she just experienced. Her chest was rising and falling like she had just stepped off stage and his was calm and even.
“My turn?” Ayden lifted her up and then pushed her down on him completely. His toes curled as Charlie moaned. She was slick and open now, and though he had wanted to get her there a different way, he was satisfied to be inside her.
“Mmmm.” Charlie was spent, but she knew Ayden had plans, and he wasn’t relenting on them. He sat up facing her and adjusted her legs wrapping them around him. He took her mouth in a slow tender kiss tipping his tongue against hers then sucking on her lower lip letting go with a light nibble.
“You’re so beautiful, Charlie,” Ayden whispered in her ear. He looked at her and brushed her bangs to the side. He liked being like this, joined with her. “Don’t fall asleep on me, darlin’.”
“I would never.” Charlie opened her eyes. She was so relaxed and so at peace in the moment she was trying to savor the feel of him, the smell. The way he stroked her back with his hands and the way he whispered in her ear. Ayden may not love her, but she felt more loved than she ever knew possible. Sitting there joined with him, his large cock filling her completely, mind body and soul, she knew the connection had to be both ways.
He lifted them both and pressed her back onto the bed. Her head lay on his pillow, and her eyes now stared at him wide and open. Ayden moved slowly. He wanted to savor every single moment with her. He also didn’t want her to be sore in the morning when he would be sure to give her the ride of her life.
Charlie stroked his back in one long slow motion with the tips of her nails and that got him moving again. He kissed her deeply and passionately. Slowly he moved in and out creating a rhythm all his own. She lifted into him and surrendered herself, mind, body, and soul. Her heart flooded with emotion, and as she came again, tears escaped down her cheeks.
“Are you okay, baby?” Ayden kissed away the tears and remained still inside her. He could feel her coming and see it in her face, but the tears confused him.
“Yes. Please, don’t stop, Ayden.” Charlie lifted into him. She wanted to feel him and watch him as he came. She was so overwhelmed by him, so connected to him in this moment. On a whisper she confessed, “I love you.”
Ayden smiled a satisfied smile then whispered in her ear, “I know.”
He took her lips and rocked into her over and over again until he couldn’t hold back any longer.
“God, Charlie,” he whispered and bit a small bite on her shoulder to keep from saying the words himself.
Charlie held him tightly and sniffed. Maybe he couldn’t say it, but she knew now that he felt it. Maybe he was like Evelyn, scared. That made sense the longer she thought about it. Charlie kissed his neck and decided right then she wouldn’t pressure him. She would just keep making love to him until he couldn’t bite the words back anymore.
Charlie released him from the bear hug and began playing with his hair again. Ayden nuzzled into her neck and relished the feel, smell, and taste of her. He would miss this. Maybe he could sneak her along. Charlie swatted his naked butt bringing his thoughts back to the moment.
“Hum?” Ayden grunted.
“You’re squishing me.” Charlie tried to suck in a breath.
“Oh, sorry.” Ayden lifted to his elbows and stared down at her. She was already fighting to keep her eyes open. “Isn’t this supposed to be the other way around?”
“What’s that?” she said around a yawn.
“I’m supposed to be falling asleep, and you’re supposed to be trying to cuddle.” Ayden rocked his hips into her again.
“I’ll cuddle with you, cowboy.” Charlie opened one eye and pushed her hand through his hair.
Ayden smiled and backed out of her slowly. Charlie faced him and snuggled in putting her right leg over him and her arm around his back where she made soft circles with her nails, relaxing him. Ayden couldn’t fight the sleep any longer. He pulled her as close as he possibly could without squishing her, slid his left thigh between her legs again, and closed his eyes.

The next morning he awoke with Charlie sleeping in his arms, a soft smile on her lips. Ayden couldn’t wait for her to wake up. He kissed her and kissed her again. She grumbled a bit. The woman was apparently not a morning person anymore.
“Charlie. Wake up, darlin’.” Ayden rolled her to her back and circled her neck with his nose.
“What time is it?” Charlie grumbled.
Ayden looked at the clock and decided not to tell her it was five a.m. She would be less likely to indulge him and more likely to kill him instead.
“Time to wake up.” He knew he was being greedy, but he didn’t care. He hadn’t been with a woman in forever. Now he had Charlie, and she was more woman than any man had a right to have. He thumbed over one nipple and drew on the other. She gasped.
“Ayden?” Charlie was waking up now. She should have known he was going to be wired up this morning. Yet somehow, it still seemed too dark in the bedroom.
“God you taste good.”
Ayden spoke as he switched breasts.
“What happened to taking it slow?” Charlie could feel the heat pouring off his chest onto her stomach and realized he was very much his wolfish self this morning.
Ayden didn’t answer. He just pushed farther down her stomach.
“Ayden, I need a shower.” Charlie grabbed his head before he moved any farther south.
“Why?” He kissed her navel.
“Ay-den. I need a sho-wer,” Charlie whined.
“F-ine,” he said mocking her. He pushed the blankets off, snatched her up out of the bed and carried her to the bathroom.
“Ayden, put me down.” Charlie squealed.
He sat her down on the sink. “Stay there.”
Charlie watched as he turned the shower on and looked back every few seconds checking to make sure she stayed in place on the sink. He came back and started to kiss her. She blocked him.
“I need to brush my teeth.” Charlie smiled deviously. She saw the clock on the way into the bathroom and knew it was five a.m. The Wolf had some nerve to start her day this early, so she wasn’t going to make it easy on him.
Ayden grumbled and reached into the drawer and grabbed the toothpaste.
“Open,” Ayden commanded.
Charlie went to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth she got a finger full of toothpaste, and the more she tried to talk the more he successfully worked his index finger around in her mouth along her teeth.
“Spit.” Ayden practically snarled at her in jest as he grabbed his toothbrush and lined it with paste.
“Oh no you don’t.” Charlie looked like a mad dog. She snatched the toothbrush and wiped the paste on her finger. “You open.”
Ayden laughed because she obviously swallowed a bit of paste. Her face scrunched, and she almost gave up. He grabbed the finger and closed his lips around it. Charlie wasn’t going to deter him this morning. The more ornery she acted the more fired up he became.
Charlie didn’t know what to do really. It felt weird having her finger in his mouth and even a little gross to rub it over his teeth like he was doing now.
Ayden spit in the sink behind her and turned on the water. He pulled two paper cups from the dispenser and handed her one. Charlie rinsed her mouth and then covered her face trying to hide the fact she was spitting.
“When you’re out in the field for months, you get used to brushing with a finger.” Ayden thoroughly enjoyed that Charlie was a lady, and he enjoyed taking her off guard from time to time. “You know it can be dangerous to have mint or any other kind that has a smell to it. Just like smoking, can’t smoke in the field. You can see a cigarette burning through a sniper scope miles away.”
“I’m not in the field.” Charlie crossed her arms.
“No, but your toothbrush isn’t in my bathroom, and I wasn’t about to huff down the hall to get it.” Ayden kissed her lips then thumbed the last spot of toothpaste away.
“You are so…” Charlie tapped her foot in the air.
“I’m an ogre. I know.” Ayden uncrossed her arms and pulled her to the shower. “I can’t wait to get you all wet.”
“You are seriously going to get it, Ayden.” Charlie stepped into the shower, and Ayden crowded in behind her. “Can I have some space?”
“No.” Ayden dipped his head under the water and reached for the washcloth and soap grabbing it before she could. “You know you keep telling me I’m going to get it, but I think you’re all talk, sweetheart.”
Charlie was stunned. Was he challenging her? She had one quick orgasm and then he made love to her and that made him the better lover? She looked at him selfishly lathering himself up with the washcloth. She knew it was because he wanted to make love, she however wanted to take a shower, and he was proving a point. He really wanted to claim her like some barbarian. As flattering as it was she was a modern woman not falling for it, at least not without a ring on her finger.
Charlie snatched the washcloth out of his hands and rinsed then re-lathered it. She began washing herself while Ayden tugged the corner of the cloth trying to take it back. “Rinse off and go lay in that bed, Wolf.”
“You’re not my boss.” Ayden stepped back in case she decided to pop him.
“Oh I am. At least for the next hour, if you last that long.” Charlie turned away from him and rinsed off. She stepped out, grabbed the only towel on the bar and dried off.
“Will you hand me a towel?” Ayden smiled. He was going to get it, and he was really looking forward to it.
Charlie tossed the towel over her shoulder. “You better be there before I get there.”
“Shit.” Ayden wrapped the towel around him and had to leap onto the bed to beat her there. “Damn woman.”
Charlie wasn’t going to let him think he was the master of her domain. Ayden was wonderful and just being around him kept her primed and ready, but it was her desire for him that got her to that point, not his abilities. At least that’s what she told herself. She was going to show him just how many skills she had then see if he still felt like the alpha male when she was done with him.
Charlie stripped him of the towel and moved straight for his cock. He was still wet from the shower and even a little soapy here and there, but he didn’t care and apparently neither did Charlie. This was the woman he saw that night. She treated him to a private show. This was the woman he’d hoped to find in bed one morning dominating him. He felt like the luckiest man alive. Charlie consumed him with greed. Her nails bit into his thighs, and his fingers tangled in her hair as she twisted her lips over him.
“God I hope you can do that for an hour.” Ayden groaned in pleasure, still pushing her buttons. She growled in frustration.
Charlie was hoping to make him come quick and revel in the glory of breaking him in minutes, but her jaw was wearing out, and Ayden wasn’t even close. With one final lick, she turned a frustrated eye toward the Wolf who looked more like his name than ever at the moment. She slid up and over him. She started to sit on him, but he began to move.
Ayden pushed her back gently and treated her to the same attention. Charlie was out to prove a point this morning, but so was he.
Ayden parted her lips with his tongue and pulled a pillow under her butt lifting her higher and at an angle. He was wedged between her thighs, and Charlie was urging him away. He wasn’t hearing it. She concentrated on not enjoying it, but he made that impossible, so she focused on not having an orgasm instead.
“I hope you can keep that up for an… Oh.” Charlie gasped.
Charlie was trying not to come, but he had plans to make her come several times this morning. This was his bed and his domain. If she wanted to rule it, she would have to work harder. Ayden pushed two fingers past the fold and gripped the ridge deep inside her while suckling her clit.
“This is so unfair.” Charlie cried out as she came. She tried to hold back, but damn he was good. Ayden nipped the inside of her thighs and licked over her again making her legs jerk and tremble. Charlie was more determined than ever to regain control and make him come.
Ayden flipped her over as soon as she sat up making her lose balance and giving him the edge. He readjusted the pillow and spread her legs apart on either side of him.
“What are you doing?” Charlie was still trying to regain her balance, and he just kept moving her to whatever position he saw fit for her to be in. “Working a new angle.” Ayden nipped her firm butt and slid his fingers over her again, then back inside. “What do you think?”
Charlie couldn’t speak, so she just waved a hand.
“I thought you’d like it.” He nipped her other cheek then moved on his knees behind her. She was already wet and soft, and he knew he had to maintain or he would lose control here.
Ayden inched inside her and she groaned. Damn but he was taking control. As soon as she heard his breath catch, she thought for sure this may be a way to do him in. Charlie lifted to her hands and pressed back against him taking him in one long thrust. Ayden gripped her thig
hs, and they both moaned. Charlie wasn’t sure she could keep from coming again because hearing him enjoy her was really making her hot. The louder he growled the harder she pushed against him and the faster she tried to go.
“Mmmm.” Ayden held her in place as she gripped him from inside again coming on a loud cursing moan. It took all of his self control not to let loose and not to laugh. Charlie was definitely the first woman to be pissed about an orgasm. She was working him over and doing her best to make him lose control. It almost worked. “You’re so hot, Charlie.”
“You are insatiable.” She was out of breath and panting.
“I’m just trying to please the boss.” Ayden kissed her neck and pulled out of her. Charlie was like putty in his hands. He could have twisted her into a pretzel if he wanted.
“I’d give you a raise, but you haven’t spent your last one.” Charlie snickered.
“That was horrible.” Ayden flipped her over. “I hope our kids don’t get your sense of humor.”
Charlie didn’t have time to process the words. Ayden was sliding back into her as he hooked her legs with his arms lifting her into him. He hovered over her and lowered enough to kiss her lips.
“Are you ready to admit I’m the boss in the bedroom?” Ayden whispered.
“Like hell you are.” Charlie pulled herself away and pushed him on his back. She squatted over him instead of straddling and set herself down on him completely. With a new resolve, she caught her second wind. “Can you see that, Ayden?”
“Yes.” Ayden smiled. He knew she would take over. He just had to get her going.
“Do you see how deep you’re going?” Charlie lifted to the tip and then slowly lowered down his length again. She strained to speak, but Ayden apparently enjoyed it. He was peaking through one eye, and his muscles were starting to bunch. “God you feel good, Ayden.”
“I… Mmmm.” Ayden fought himself to keep quiet. If she got him talking, he would confess all, and he wasn’t one hundred percent ready for that yet. “I love the way you feel inside me.” Charlie moved a little quicker as his hands gripped her waist and his fingers pressed into her behind. “I love riding you, Ayden. You’re so big and thick.”
