She kissed him slow and deep and he held her hard, his arms wrapped around her torso with room to spare. As she broke the kiss, she smiled.
“Max?”
“Yes, Josie?”
“The head of your cock is pressing against my womb and you feel incredible.”
He glanced down to where their bodies were fully joined and realized she’d worked him fully inside her. She was wrapped around his cock like hot, wet silk and the urgency to claim her slammed into him again.
His eyes returned to her face. “You were distracting me.” She nodded with a smile. “Are you alright?”
Her fingers drifted over his face and down his neck to his shoulders. “I’ve never been so filled before, Max. You feel so good…just right, baby.” She winked. “Now, I think you should roll us back over and do some of the work, don’t you?”
Max laughed and kissed her as he flipped them over fast. He pressed forward and she sighed. He stared down at her for a long time, stroking her hair back from her face. “Thank you, Josie.”
“You’re a good man, Max. The best man I know. You could never hurt me. Not even accidentally.” Her lips found his and he kissed her until her legs tightened around his ass. “I need, Max. Please, please give me what I need.”
One hand slipped beneath her and held the back of her head. The other slid over her side to grip her ass firmly. His first stroke out made him grit his teeth, it felt so fucking good. When he stroked forward again, her eyes drifted closed for a moment and she pulled her lower lip between her teeth.
His thrusts were slow, steady, and deep. The first orgasm built gradually and he watched the flush spread over her upper body. “I’ve never experienced such a snug, perfect fit, Josie. I never want to stop fucking you.”
“Don’t stop, Max.” Her nails dug into his back and shoulder. “Max, harder. I want to feel everything. It’s so good, so fucking good.”
Bracing his knee higher, nudging slightly under her ass, he gave her more. His eyes never left her face and within half a dozen strokes, she was gripping him tighter. “Yes. More. God, Max! I’m coming!” Then her torso slammed up into his and her pussy clamped down so hard that he could barely move.
He watched her, the come boiling in his balls with his need to join her. The small thrusts dragged her orgasm out forever and he built back up, harder and faster.
“Josie, I want to feel you come around me again. You come so hard…it feels like a fist gripping me.”
Her eyes were heavy and glazed with passion as she whispered, “No one has been able to make me come like this before. Vaginal orgasms are usually really hard for me.”
“Hmm…my ego is going to be intolerable after this.”
She laughed and Max tightened his fingers in her hair as he began to drive into her with more force. Her laughter turned moans and begging as he held her still to take every stroke he delivered.
Josie was clinging to him. “Yes, Max! Please don’t stop. You have no idea how many times I’ve had my hands on you in the last couple of months that I was thinking about this, Max. The feel of you inside me, taking me, making me yours.”
Max stared at her. “I had no idea you thought of me that way, Josie.”
“Max, massaging your body for months on end…a woman can only handle so much. I was in hell. And I knew you were getting hard from my touch. That you were thinking about fucking me. I thought I’d crawl out of my skin with need.” She stroked his face then leaned up to kiss him.
He powered into her hard, his eyes locked on hers. “I want to give you everything you need, Josie. All of it for as long as you’ll have me. I don’t need anything but you.”
Max pushed her, drove her harder and harder, until she was bucking and writhing beneath him. He stroked his hand from her ass up to cup her breast and pinched the hard nipple between his thumb and forefinger. Her hands went into his hair as the orgasm took every ounce of her control.
He thrust harder, faster and when she came, she bowed into him, her pussy like a vice around him. He pushed harder, kept moving, drawing her climax out until she was screaming his name and begging him to come with her.
The sound of Josie screaming his name, the way he’d fantasized, pushed Max past his endurance. He came roaring, his entire body focused on pumping everything he had into her.
Between clenched teeth, she managed, “Mine, Max…give it to me.”
“Yes, Josie. Take it all. All of me.” Max felt like he’d never come before. The climax went on and on and he felt as though he’d emptied far more than his semen into this woman. He’d given her parts of himself that forever belonged to her. He would never get them back.
When he had nothing left, he exhaled sharply and lowered his head beside hers. Josie raked her fingers through his hair, her breaths panting along his neck.
“Thank you, Max. You healed the open wounds I thought would never close.”
He wrapped himself around her, hugged her to his heart while they came down from the physical explosions together. His face was buried against her neck and he inhaled deeply of air scented lightly with her vanilla shampoo.
“No one will ever hurt you again, Josie. I love you so m…”
He froze.
Chapter Eleven
“Max…look at me.” Josie lifted his head because she needed him to see her. His expression was wary and she knew he thought he’d said too much.
“I knew I was in love with you when you held my hand at the ballet. I was scared at first and I fought against it but you found your way into my heart over and over. You’ve taken up permanent residence and I have no choice. I was made to love you.”
“You love me, Josie?”
“I love you, Max.”
He hugged her hard and carried her with him as he sat back on his ankles with her body wrapped around him. The feel of his semi-hard cock still inside her was so good. Their combined fluids were slowly easing from inside her. For just a moment, she wondered what their combined flavor would taste like.
He stroked her from the top of her head to her knees. “You changed everything for me, Josie.” His brown eyes were intense when he leaned back to look at her. “Marry me, Josie.”
Instantly, her heart was slamming against her ribs but she said calmly, “I don’t think you’re supposed to propose right after sex, Max. You could be mixing up signals.”
He didn’t say anything at first. He watched her, touched her, and probably saw the doubt she was trying to hide. “Tell me, Josie. I think I know what you’re worried about…tell me, baby.”
“I don’t need you to marry me, Max. I know right now you love me. It’s enough for me, Max. I promise it is.” She hugged him hard and rested her head on his shoulder, praying he wouldn’t press.
Several minutes passed with him stroking her from her head to her ass. Slow, steady pets that made her want to stay just like this forever. So the life he lived would never break her heart.
His voice was low when he finally spoke. She’d never heard him so serious and it made her smile despite the tension inside her. “Josie, you think I’ll get bored. That I’ll go back to screwing everything that moves. You think I’ll break your heart.”
She couldn’t stop the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes because she didn’t want to hurt Max. The temptation in his daily life must be incredibly hard to resist.
“You’re willing to take whatever I give because you love me.”
“No, Max.”
He pulled her back so he could see her face. “Josie, I can’t take back the way I lived before I met you but I know that I’ve never wanted anyone else since the night I met you. I know I control my choices and I know that I choose you. Only you.”
She opened her mouth to tell him it didn’t matter but he covered her lips with his. The kiss was devastating to her emotionally and for the first time in her life, she understood what it meant to love someone else. What it meant when someone else took possession of your heart.
I
t was terrifying.
“I need you to trust me with your heart, Josie. To trust me. Like you trusted me with your friendship. Like you trusted me with your body. I will care for it and always keep it safe.”
“I’m afraid, Max.”
“I’m not, Josie.” He placed his hand over her heart and had to feel the way it pounded. He lifted her hand and put it over his and she felt how strong it beat for her. “It’s too late to go back and I don’t want to. Let’s go forward. Marry me, Josie…let me love you.”
She stared into his brown eyes for a long time and there was no denying what she saw there. It was a risk – less than a thousand men on the planet were as sexually pursued as he was – but every choice came with risk.
Josie had never been a coward. “Okay, Max.”
“Okay…? Yes, Josie?”
She nodded and he kissed her until she had to pull back to get air. He got off the bed, still holding her, still inside her. He walked with purpose into the other room and found his phone. She watched him hit the speed dial for his mom and listen to it ring.
“Mom? Guess what? I’m getting married…of course to Josie…” There was happy screaming on the other end of the line and both of them grinned.
“I knew you’d be happy. It makes me very happy, Mom. You don’t know how much. Will you come up next week? I want you to convince Josie to let me give her a fairy princess wedding. I’ll need the big guns; she’s going to try to go cheap. I agree. She’s worth the very best. Thanks, Mom. She loves you too. Soon so she doesn’t get away…of course she isn’t pregn…”
Max’s eyes went wide and he murmured, “Oh shit, Mom. I’ll call you back.”
He dropped the phone on the bed and stared at Josie. “What is it, Max? Did you just remember a Vegas insta-wedding to some stripper when you were drunk? I will slap you…”
“No. No, nothing like that. Josie, I’m sorry…I never, ever forget…not once since I was sixteen. I just wanted you so bad and I…I forgot.”
Josie tilted her head to the side. She didn’t have a clue what he was trying to say.
“This is all on me because you’re still pretty innocent about this shit and I know better. It’s hot, really. You’re like a pretty clean slate I can corrupt with all kinds of naughty…”
“Max! What in the hell are you talking about?”
“Condom…or rather, lack of one. I forgot. I’m sorry.”
She blinked as the realization hit her. Fuck. “Max, I’ve never been on birth control. It’s like wearing full rain gear every day when you live in the desert.” The heat let her know her face was bright pink. “I don’t…I mean I haven’t in a really long time. I never even thought about it. What do you…want me to do?”
Max looked as confused as she felt. “What do I want…? What do you mean?”
She shrugged. “Well, they have those morning-after pills you can take. I have no idea how you get them but I can call my doctor if you want.”
He sat down hard on the edge of the bed, pulling her close on his lap to stay inside her. His eyes were focused hard on her. “Josie, do you think I want you to do that?”
Josie felt a little panicked but was doing her best to remain calm. “Max, I have no idea. You have a crazy life and you will for a long time. I’ve never had to think about this stuff and now there’s all this new data pouring into my brain about sex and marriage and babies…I’m a little overwhelmed!”
She felt like she was on the verge of an anxiety attack.
His hands left her back to cup her face. “Josie, I’d love it if you were pregnant.”
“What?” Her world tilted on its axis. The life she’d thought she would lead and the life that was opening up in front of her were so different that passing out for the first time in her life was suddenly a very real possibility.
“I’m thirty-one. My career will take care of itself. It isn’t going to keep me from having a personal life. I can still be a good husband and father. I would love babies with you, Josie. Now or later, what difference would it make?”
Max smoothed the hair away from her face. “Honestly, the sooner the better. I’d like to be able to still walk on my own steam when they have kids of their own.” A few light kisses helped her re-center. “Just thinking about you being pregnant with my baby is…affecting me.”
He shrugged and leaned close to whisper at her ear, “Do you feel my cock getting hard inside you again, Josie?” She nodded slowly and he rocked his hips up to bury himself more fully inside her. “You’re dripping with my seed already.”
He stroked inside her. “I’ve never been with anyone without a condom. I want to feel it again. I want to focus on how different it feels bare and fill you up again, Josie. To come inside you until you’re pregnant with my child.”
She pulled him to her for a kiss. “Fuck me, Max.”
He took her to bed and she rode him while he watched her. The intensity – after everything they’d talked about – was incredible. When she climaxed, she was unable to hold her body up. He turned them and set up a strong rhythm. As she locked around him a second time, Max surged to the root of his cock and exploded inside her.
It was so good they wondered how they’d missed the difference the first time. They crashed hard.
Chapter Twelve
The growling of Max’s stomach woke them a couple of hours later and they padded into the kitchen naked to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She sat daintily in her chair with her legs crossed.
A sweet, delicate fairy. Josie’s outward appearance was so different from who she was on the inside.
When they finished eating, he laid her back on the sturdy table and fucked her hard. Josie almost made him lose control when she bent her knees against his chest so he could sink even deeper.
It took a long time for them to recover enough to stumble into the living area. They curled up on the couch in front of the freshly stoked fire and pulled a quilt over their still-humming bodies.
For two days, they ate and made love, never getting dressed unless they had to bring in more wood. They pushed the living room furniture out of the way and dropped a mattress in front of the fireplace.
Max told her there was nothing like firelight flickering over her naked body. He took her from behind, watching the light play over her bare back. The position released a wildness inside her she didn’t know she had. She urged him to fuck her harder.
He fisted a hand in her hair and gripped her shoulder, powering into her with everything he had until she was incoherent in her pleasure.
When he looked down, he was mesmerized by the sight of his cock moving in and out of her body. The visual hit him so forcefully he came unexpectedly, driving to the base as her bare pussy milked him dry.
On the third day, as they packed to leave, Max grabbed her in a hug. “Do you realize we’ve completely disconnected from the world for three days, Josie?”
“Do you even remember the last time you didn’t turn on the television or the phone?”
“Maybe…fifteen years? I loved this. Do you know how good I feel right now? I feel recharged and ready to plan our shotgun wedding!”
Josie laughed and stretched up to kiss his chin. “I may not be pregnant, Max.” She ruffled her fingers through his hair. “What if I wasn’t ovulating?”
“Then we keep trying every day until the factory opens and a baby gets made. Simple.” He winked.
A big smile broke over her face and she said quietly, “Alrighty then.”
They packed up what they brought and loaded Max’s truck. When everything was shut down in the cabin, Josie locked it up. He put the SUV in gear and turned to look at the woman who had shown him that there was more to strive for in his life than a game.
“What?”
“I was just thinking about how much I have to look forward to. Even when I can’t play ball anymore, I’ll still have so many good things in my life. You and my mom, my little brother. Any children we have. For the first time, retirement
doesn’t fill me with fear.” Without another word, Max dropped his sunglasses over his eyes and headed down the mountain.
At the main road, he stopped to check for traffic and Josie climbed over the console and straddled his lap. “Should I put it in park, baby?” He asked with a smile.
She nodded. Since she was wearing a long skirt, sweater, and ankle boots, he destroyed her panties while she unfastened his jeans and pulled his cock free. The feel of her pussy taking him in was perfect every single time. She braced herself on his shoulders and worked him as hard as she could.
His hands roamed under her clothes, exploring her soft skin. By the time he placed his thumb over her clit and circled it over the tight bundle of nerves, she was frantic to come.
“Josie, I can’t believe you’re fucking me in the truck in broad daylight. I feel like a teenager. Yes, let me feel you come. You’re so fucking tight around me…”
Moments later, they came together, whispering, stroking, and kissing until they could breathe again. Josie kissed him and lifted herself away. “That’s the worst part; losing the feel of you around me. You feel so good, I want to be inside you all the time.”
Josie smiled and climbed back in her seat. “That should hold us over for the drive.”
Max took a deep breath and refastened his jeans. He looked at her face. Josie was flushed from her orgasm, her lips were swollen from their kisses, and he could see her body still trembled.
There was no way to stop himself from reaching for her. He turned in his seat and slid his palm under her skirt, trailing up her leg and inner thigh, to push two fingers inside her. She gasped and gripped the door to support herself.
“You’re so warm, so slick from both of us. Come for me again, Josie. Let me feel you tighten around my fingers.” When she came with a long moan, she tightened her thighs around his hand but he didn’t stop thrusting until the climax mellowed and eventually faded.
