Even so, he knew that his life was going to change tonight. This time, for the better.
After a few minutes, he heard the water on in the sink for a few seconds and then Faith exited. Her skirt was wrinkled and her blouse pulled free of the waistband. Barefoot and beautiful, he looked at her with the eyes of a man in love. In that moment, he knew he would do anything and everything to keep her by his side.
Her tongue came out to wet her lips and his pants got a little tighter. Damn. “Do you want a nightshirt to sleep in?”
“Huh? Um, no, I should be leaving.”
“Why is that?” Mindful of how the question may sound to her, he kept his voice low.
“Cooper, this is your bed...and your house. I should really go home. Plus, I have a long day tomorrow,” she said. Although her mouth said the words, her legs weren’t moving toward the door. Cooper took that as a good sign.
“Don’t leave, Faith,” he whispered.
The silence in the room was deafening. After what seemed like minutes, but he knew were only seconds, she responded.
“Why should I stay?” Even in the darkness of the room, he heard the surprise, and the anticipation, in her voice. Her eyes looked at him and he wanted to beat his chest and yell out to the world that she belonged to him.
“I’m asking you not to leave me. Not tonight,” his voice was husky and raw with need. “I like seeing you in my bed. I like knowing that you’re under the same roof as I am. I want nothing more than to come up to our room at night and see you lying here. I need that, Faith.” Pausing for a second, he poured all of his need for her into one sentence and prayed she would understand, “I...need...you...with...me.”
The intensity of his words surprised even him, but he knew that he had never spoken a truer statement. Finally moving over to stand in front of her, he simply took her in. Inches away from her, he looked into her eyes, allowing her to see underneath all the layers that had been built up over the years.
“Let me have you tonight,” he whispered as he bent to kiss her softly on the lips. What he didn’t say, was that he wanted her for tonight and every night after. “I need you. And you know you need me, too.”
Ever so slowly, he reached up and started to unbutton her blouse. Faith didn’t move, she simply stood in the middle of his bedroom as he undressed her.
“Cooper…” she pleaded.
“Faith,” he breathed out. “You have to let me do this my way, sweetheart.”
“But what about…” words seemed to fail her as he brushed a kiss on top of one breast. One of his hands came up slowly to grasp the other one, his rough palm rubbing across her distended nipple. Moving his hand slightly, he brought his thumb and forefinger together and squeezed her nipple through her lacy bra. It quickly pebbled up in attention, seemingly to beg for more of the sensation.
“This is our night, Faith. Just you and me. No one else.” Placing a kiss on her lips, he pressed closer to her, giving just a hint of the desire that was percolating just below the surface. “This is our beginning, baby. No more looking back. It’s you and me.”
Noticing the water well in her eyes, he wanted to scream out at the pain he was feeling at the moment. So much hurt he had caused her, all from his indecisions. “Don’t cry, baby. I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you.”
Her body seemed to relax as she picked up the meaning of his words. “I know, Cooper. You’re right, tonight it’s just you and me,” she whispered back to him.
Continuing his efforts, he reached around her body and unhooked her bra. All the while, he was nibbling along her lips, chin and neck. After tonight, there would be no doubt in her mind that she was all he wanted, all he needed. His life was starting over, and she would be front and center.
His head lifted and he just stared at her, looking into her eyes glazed over with lust. God, he wanted nothing more than to surge inside of her body and take her for hours. All he wanted to hear were her screams of passion. All he wanted to feel was her walls convulse as she released her cream on his cock, soaking both of them in the juices created from their love.
Love? Yeah, he sure as fuck loved this woman.
And although she hadn’t said it to him in return, he didn’t mind waiting. Every action, every word, every glance, proved to him that she loved him just as much. His Faith would never give so freely of herself, removing all of the barriers guarding her heart, for a man that she didn’t love. Not like this.
Cooper grabbed the waistband of her skirt and pulled it down her hips. Faith’s hands had been gripping his arms, but went to his shoulders when she had to step out of the garment. He threw the skirt over his shoulder, not caring where it landed. Leaning in, he placed a kiss on each of her thighs, just inches away from her moist heat.
Her intake of breath hinted at just how much she wanted this as well.
While still kneeling in front of her, he reached up and grabbed her hot pink satin underwear and pulled them down her body. The wetness from her slit could be seen as he pulled the material away from her body. Damn, he thought as his mouth watered, I can’t wait to taste her. That would come later. At the moment, all he could think about was getting inside of her.
“You’re so beautiful, baby. Do you know how long I’ve wanted this? How long I’ve needed you?” Loving words spilled from his mouth as he continued to place tiny kisses along the skin he had already bared to his gaze. Her thighs, the area just above her mound, her slightly rounded stomach, her beautiful firm breasts, her neck and finally her lips. Delving his tongue deeply into her mouth, she tasted so sweet to him. He would never get enough of this. Of her.
Sliding one hand down her naked body, he reached her dripping sex and was tempted to drop to his knees and lap up the juices pouring from her body, but refrained. As he felt Faith unravel as his fingers played along her slit, reaching for the bundle of nerves that would bring her such ecstasy, he refused to move away from his position. His main priority for tonight included sliding his cock inside of her and making sure he was forever imprinted on her.
He slid one finger inside of her and her mouth opened in a gasp. Rising on her toes, she tilted her body, allowing his finger to go deeper. Their kiss became messy as their passion rose and he dipped a second finger inside.
Her body seemed to suck his fingers inside and his cock began to weep with pleasure. Fighting the urge to take her standing up, he lifted her into his arms, her legs straddling his waist. Her moist heat seeping through the material of his slacks. He walked them over to his bed and laid her down. Her arms reached out for him as he went around to the foot of the bed, “Don’t stop, Cooper.”
“Oh, I won’t. You can count on that,” he growled as he quickly removed his clothes.
Her eyes got big as she saw him naked and in all of his full glory. “All for you, baby.” Kneeling on the bed, he crawled up so that he was lying in between her legs. Just as he’d always dreamed of. Looking down at her, he said the words that would change everything, “I love you, Faith.”
Chapter Thirteen
Heart expanding with all the words and declarations she wanted to say, Faith knew that could come later. Right now, all she could do was return the words that Cooper had given to her.
“I love you, too, Cooper,” she said as he crawled toward her on the bed.
For a moment, he just stopped and stared at her. “Do you mean it?”
“I’ve loved you almost from the beginning. You were all I wanted or needed. My fear held me back,” she responded.
Leaning back as he lay his body on top of hers, she moaned in pleasure. First contact of full body skin-on-skin and it felt like heaven. Dipping his head, he captured her lips and began kissing her as if his life depended on it. Not to be outdone, she gave just as good as she got. Her hands grabbed him and pulled tight. Her legs spread wide in abandon.
When he broke the kiss and moved to her breasts, suckling and nibbling on them, she keened in pleasure. His mouth should be labeled a lethal weapon. “Oh, Coope
r, that feels so good,” she couldn’t hold back the gasps and moans.
She felt one of his hands moving down to the apex of her thighs and almost hyperventilated as her body tensed in anticipation. He dipped one finger between her labia, separating her slick folds with one thick digit. Rubbing the hardened nub resting between her slick labia, his finger stroked up and down, moistening itself on the juices escaping her body.
“Oh! Oh! Yes, Cooper,” she exclaimed in ecstasy.
Just then, he switched from one breast and moved to the other, his wicked mouth suckling her nipple deep into his warm mouth. Her hips swiveled and she writhed on the bed, begging for him to do something more, to go deeper. As she opened her mouth to beg and plead for release, he dipped his middle finger into her dripping core.
“Oh my God,” she almost screamed. Lifting one hand to cover her mouth to stifle the sound, she continued her litany of praise, “So good. Yes. Oh, please more.”
Cooper lifted his head from her for just a moment. “You want more,” he asked gruffly.
“Yes, always,” she whimpered. When had she ever been this needy for the touch of a man? Never. But there was always a first.
His body shifted and he gave her another deep kiss. Their tongues dueling as he continued to finger fuck her into oblivion. Nothing had ever felt this good. And then he added a second finger inside her body and her eyes flew open at the sensation. No words would come out. The only sounds in the room were the slickness of her body accepting the stroking motions of his fingers.
Faith’s stomach tightened as her body prepared for release. Cooper’s head raised as he looked at her face contort as she spiraled headlong into orgasm.
“Cooper,” she called out, “I can’t hold on.”
“Then don’t,” he rasped. “This is only the beginning. I want to see you come for me multiple times tonight. I’m nowhere near done with you.” Curling his fingers inside of her, he touched a spot that set off fireworks behind her eyes. “Come for me, Faith. Let me watch you come apart for me.”
At that moment, her body responded to him unlike it had responded to anyone in the past. Lightning flowed through her body as she found release in Cooper’s arms. Legs taut, her hips lifted from the bed, as she felt the orgasm pulse throughout her body, squeezing his fingers. It felt as if it lasted for hours, but eventually she began to come down.
As her butt hit the bed, Cooper repositioned himself between her legs. Lifting one knee, he placed it in the crook of his arm. Bending down to capture her lips with his, they kissed long and deep. Running her hands over his short hair, she was amazed at how strong her orgasm had been.
“That was amazing. You’re amazing,” she managed to say as he began kissing her neck.
“Oh, baby, just wait. It only gets better,” he said on a laugh.
As he started to penetrate her with his warm thickness, she knew he had been right. Already wet and slick, she welcomed him into her body as he slowly slid inside of her. Holding him in her hand or feeling him through his clothing was nothing like this. So thick. So hot. It felt like warmed steel entering her and she almost came again right then and there.
After a few seconds of slow-going, he started placing small kisses on her face, neck and upper check. All the while, his body rocking to and fro as he widened her slick channel. Sensual words filled her ears between kisses and it made her want him more. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she became lost in the cocoon of their passion.
“Let me in baby. I won’t hurt you.” Thrust.
“I promise I’ll never hurt you again.” Pull.
“Just let me love you.” Thrust.
“I’m gonna be so deep inside you,” he whispered. Stopping his motion, he slowly gyrated his hips. Then he thrust again.
“Yes, more,” she gasped, almost pulling back as the tip of his cock bumped her cervix.
“Almost there, baby.” Pull.
“I love you, Faith,” he said as he thrust again and began picking up motion. “Yeah, baby, you feel so good wrapped around me.” Lifting up, he pulled both of her legs to his shoulders and began pumping inside of her. Long strokes teasing and stroking as he entered her body.
“I love you, too, Cooper. Please, don’t stop,” she pleaded.
“Never,” he groaned as he continued to swivel his hips, bringing them both to the edge of rapture.
Unable to stop her body from responding, she felt the orgasm building. There was nothing she could do to stop it, so she simply held on for the ride. Wave after wave of pleasure rippled through her as Cooper continued to plunge inside of her body. Every thrust wringing a moan from her. Every time she felt herself tighten around him, he would slow down, lift his face and kiss her long and slow.
Once she loosened up, he would pick up the pace again. The entire time, he never stopped whispering words that filled her mind with images of them wrapped in each other’s arms every night. Making love just like this.
“You’re mine, Faith,” he growled. “I’ll never let you go,” he whispered. “Can’t believe I almost lost you,” he ground out.
Tears rolled down her face as she realized the extent of his feelings for her. As she gave herself over to the sensation of having Cooper love her so deeply.
“I’m yours, Cooper. Always,” she responded.
“I’m coming, baby. Come with me. Give it to me one more time,” he said through clenched teeth as his movements became erratic.
Responding to his command, she felt another release building inside of her. His neck stretched and taut, his muscles strained, Cooper released inside of her just as she fell over into the abyss.
Faith was having the nicest dream. Warm lips kissed the back of her neck while a hand rubbed her moist labia. One digit caressing the thick bundle of nerves. She could feel the slickness of her body’s response coating the finger that was so determined to bring her body pleasure.
“Mmmm, Cooper,” she moaned. She loved when she had these dreams. They seemed so real.
“Yes, baby, I’m right here,” her dream Cooper responded.
Wait. Her dream Cooper responded? That had never happened before. As she felt the caress of a warm tongue on the skin between her neck and shoulders, her eyes popped open. Gathering her bearings, she looked at the room in front of her and it all came flooding back. She had slept with Cooper. Well, sleep wasn’t quite the word she would use, considering the number of times they had made love last night.
They had christened almost every inch of his bedroom. As she thought about their interlude against the wall near the bathroom, she could feel the blush heat her skin. They had decided to take a shower after their initial two-hour lovemaking session, but just as they were coming out, Cooper had grabbed her arm.
Twisting her around, he pulled her naked, still slightly damp body against his. Feeling his hard cock press up against her stomach, she made a teeny-tiny, innocuous comment, “Looks like the little guy wants to come out and play again.”
Grinning lustfully, Cooper backed her up against the wall, “I’ll show you little.”
“I was just teasing,” she laughed. “Aren’t you tired?”
“Nope,” he said with a smile.
“We both have work tomorrow,” she said breathlessly. Would she ever get enough of this man? Probably not.
“We can call in sick,” he said easily.
“But, Cooper…,” she began before he cut her off.
“No buts, woman. Well, maybe one butt,” he said as he winked at her comically.
“Oh, no you don’t,” she laughed. “You’re not going anywhere near by butt anytime soon, mister.”
Pressing his body against hers as she was stuck between him and wall, he bent his knees slightly and began suckling her neck. “I’m not interested in that tonight. My goal is something else entirely.”
Looking at him through a hooded, lust-filled gaze, she asked, “Oh, yeah, what’s that?”
“The creamy center that’s been coating my cock all night,” he
responded as he began to drop down to his knees in front of her.
“Oh, wow…,” it had been so long since this had been done to her, but she knew how much she loved it.
“I’ve been wanting to do this all night,” he said. Lifting one of her thick legs over his shoulder, he wrapped his arms around her ass, spreading her open to his gaze. He took one long swipe of her pussy and moaned, “Damn, baby, you taste better than I ever could have imagined.”
And then that fine ass man, who had rocked her world for two fucking hours, proceeded to eat her pussy as if she were the finest meal at a five-star restaurant and he was a starving man. He left no stone unturned and for what felt like hours, he lapped, slurped, nibbled, and sucked on her until she had nothing left. By the time her fourth orgasm had roared through her body, she was speaking a foreign language.
Coming back to present, Faith closed her eyes as she replayed the memory of all they had done last night. He had played her body like a master violinist performing Tchaikovsky’s Concerto with Stradivarius violin in front of the National Symphony.
“I know you’re awake, Faith,” Cooper said next to her, making her jump.
“Morning, Cooper,” she returned, but did not face him. The things she had said to him last night had her somewhat embarrassed.
“Don’t hide from me, baby. Turn around and look at me,” he said, placing his hand on her hip and scooting back.
She slowly turned toward him and noticed the tray of food on the bed. Two cups of steaming coffee were sitting on the night table next to the other side of the bed. Yup, she now had proof. He was a God among men.
“Come on, sleepyhead. I made you some breakfast,” he waved his arm at the spread. It’s almost nine o’clock and I want all day with you.
“Oh no, I have to get ready for work,” she exclaimed. “Where’s Madison?” Sitting up too fast, she had forgotten about her nakedness until Cooper’s eyes dipped down to her breasts.
Licking his lips, Cooper started walking around the bed, coming over to her side. “No you don’t and Madison is at daycare. You slept through the hurricane of getting her dressed and off to school. There’s no one here but the two of us.”
