“I do.” I continue to nibble my way down her neck. Our banter was hard-earned. For weeks we’d walked on eggshells, afraid to tip the precarious balance we’d found in our home. She was spooked, in a place unfamiliar to her with her mama bear mode fully engaged until she saw the danger had truly passed. She moans and tilts her head back, giving me access to her long neck. I chuckle as I focus on the pulse in her neck. The feel of her heartbeat against my tongue makes me feel alive.
I wind her hair around my finger and playfully pull. She whimpers and glances up at me with passion glazed eyes. My heart swells. It’s time.
“I know our marriage wasn’t the one you always dreamed of, but it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me, next to Kier.”
“Fie,” she whispers.
“I love you, Athena. I always have, and I always will. There’s never been anyone else for me.”
“I love you too, Fie.”
Her words bring freedom. I release the breath I’d been holding for a month and devour her lips. She’s sweetness and light personified. I can’t get enough of her. I tilt my head and our tongues tangle. She tugs on my hair, and I growl as I lift her in my arms bridal style. She wraps her arms around my waist as our mouths continue to duel. Thrust, parry, and attack as I walk down the hall to our room. Goosebumps cover my flesh. This is more than the pursuit of pleasure. It’s making love in every sense of the word. The final barrier up between us has been shattered. I want to sink into her soul and never leave.
I’m awed by the feminine creature perched on my lap. She’s a goddess come to earth in her floral sundress. The braid that wraps around her head makes her look regal, and the happiness in her eyes makes me feel like a king. I want to spend my life making her happy. I’m not good at voicing this, but she hears what I don’t say. It’s why we’ve always worked. I help her work the dress over her head and toss it onto the floor.
“You’re so damn beautiful, Thena.” I kiss the space between her breasts and inhale her scent as I grip her hips. I nuzzle her mounds as I reach around and remove the light pink bra. I pull it down her arms, and it joins the dress on the ground.
“You’re overdressed for the occasion, my love.” She tugs at my button-up, and I smirk.
“We should fix that.”
“I got it.” She yanks sending buttons flying, and I groan. “You’re not the only one who gets impatient.” She winks as she rolls my nipples between her fingers, lightly pulling. The stimulation travels through my body and the blood pools in my prick. She circles her hip, fixing her laughing eyes on me as she leans in and sucks the skin on my neck into her mouth.
“Little Minx.”
“Just giving back a little.” She pinches my nipple, hard, and I jerk. “You can take a little pain, can’t you?” She winks.
“I think the question is, can you take what I’m about to give you?”
She spins around in my lap and grinds against the bulge, trying to break out of my trousers.
“I think I can.”
“You trying to make me come in me britches then?”
She peers up at me from beneath a fringe of thick dark lashes. “Now, why would I do that?”
“Because you can you little devil.” This playful seductress is a persona I’ve grown used to. She’s not the girl I fell in love with. She’s a woman I’m fascinated by and still learning more about daily. It’s a mystery I can never hope to fully unravel.
I grip her hips and roll over her pinning her on her back.
“Someone’s eager,” she gasps.
“And you love that.”
She nods. “I do.” She speaks the words against my lips as she pulls me down, kissing me until the world fades to the press of her full lips against mine and her questing tongue. We part for air, and I shed the rest of my clothing and her underwear. I move between her thighs, and she wraps her legs around me and takes me by surprise when she rolls me over.
“It’s my turn to lead.” She straddles me and guides me inside. Fully seated, she places her hands on my chest and raises before she slams back down.
“I love it when you ride me like that.” Our bodies slap together as she bounces up and down, occasionally swirling her hips as she flexes her muscles. Bending over she takes me deeper, and I’m captured in the web of seduction she’s weaving with her body and those damn eyes I want to drown in. I can’t look away. With all our cards on the table, I can see through to her very soul. I grip her ass, spreading her ass I grind into her.
“You like that dick deep inside you?”
“Yes. Give it to me harder.”
She cries out as I pound inside her. There’s a wildness to our loving. We’ve awoken an insatiable hunger we’re desperate to sate. Sweat runs down her body and mine. We’re both trembling as her walls constrict and she goes over the edge taking me with her. Her head falls back, and I’m dazzled by the view as I fill her. She collapses onto my chest, and I rub her back in slow circles as we come down from our high
As I twine her thick hair around my fingers, I say a silent prayer for whatever forces brought us together and gifted us with Kier. I never knew I could love so deeply or feel so complete. They add color and joy. I’ve gone from existing to living. Just being who we are keeps us from living a completely peaceful life, but for now, all is well, and things are quiet, and I plan on enjoying every second of it.
