Picking her up in his arms, he carried her to the bedroom that she’d been sleeping in. Laying her on the big bed, he looked down at her. She was perfection, he thought, and all his. He wanted this to be perfect, as perfect as she was for him. “When this thing with your brother is over, I would like to have you marry me.” She nodded and said so long as it was a small ceremony. “You have met my mom and grandma, right? I think their version of small is going to be vastly different than yours. But I’ll try. Just so long as you’re my wife at the end, I don’t care how we do it.” Her giggle made him feel like a king. And when he pulled his shirt off and dropped it to the floor, she sat up on the bed. As her hands traced over his chest and muscles, Tanner could only think about what he wanted to do to her. How he wanted to make love to her. And when she kissed him, wrapping her arms and body around his, he crawled onto the bed with her wrapped round him. Kissing her, he could taste the slight taste of lemon. He knew that she loved the lemon scones that Ruben made. He could almost taste the sunshine too from when she’d been outside earlier. Everything about her was erotic and sexy, also appealing and charming. “I need you.” He laughed, thinking that she didn’t know the meaning of need. “I’ve thought of nothing but having you here with me all day. The way that you will fill me up and make love to me.” “I need to tell you something.” She asked him if it was important. “Yes—well, sort of. Christ, I want you. I can’t father children.” That had her pause and she looked up at him. “I was in a car accident when I was a teenager, and I hit my head and took a hard blow to my testicles. By the time I was conscious again, the damage had been done. I can’t father children. The reason that I bring that up now is that you’re in heat, and it made me remember.” “Do you love me?” Tanner told her that he loved her with everything he was. “Then we’ll work something out. It’s sad that you won’t be able to have a child of your own, but we can bring them into our hearts and be better parents then they might have had. So long as we can be together, we can adopt as many children as we want.” “I love you, so very much, Giyanna.” He ripped off her clothing, not even caring that it might have been expensive. Or one of a kind. The need to have her was overruling his head, and when he took her breast into his mouth, Tanner knew that she was his. Tanner moved down her body, tasting wherever he could touch. His fingers massaged her tight muscles, his mouth soothed any hurt that he might have caused her. Running his tongue into her navel, tasting more of her there, he moaned when she moved her leg to rub against his cock. “You keep that up and this is going to be very one sided.” She told him she didn’t care so long as he loved her. “I do at that, forever. But you need to slow down so I can show you how much I love you and your luscious body.” Her scent perfumed the air around them. He could smell her need, that she was wet and ready for him. But he needed to taste her cream, have it fill his mouth and belly so that he’d know everything about her.
Touching his finger to her clit, he grinned when she cried out. When he suckled it into his mouth and bit down gently, she screamed out his name. No longer able to wait, he buried his mouth over her and slid his fingers deep inside her, and was rewarded with all of her cream from coming again and again.
