Don't Hold Back (Love Hurts 4)

“I’m so close,” she mumbles. Her lips form a circle as she fights for her voice, no sound coming out. Her body shakes as she nears climax, her skin cold and clammy to the touch. I slide my thumb inside her, alongside my tongue, teasing her until she breaks.

“Oh God, Cade, I can’t . . . Oh!” Her thighs clench, locking me in, her fingers begging me to go deeper. I oblige but she pushes me away from her, he body unable to handle the pleasure.

She releases a sigh, her body going limp, as I crawl back up the bed until I’m resting against her. I take her in my arms and hold her against me. She sighs again, as if she’s incapable of forming words.

“I take it you enjoyed that,” I mumble, kissing the little spot of soft skin just below her ear. She mumbles something incoherent, but the smile on her lips tells me what I need to know.

“I so badly want to feel myself inside you.” I tilt her face towardss me so I can explore those lips again. Her eyes close and she smiles. She’s so exhausted. I stroke her hair and hold her, content with that, because I don’t think she’s up to me rocking her world anymore tonight.

She’s asleep within seconds, snoring softly, her body pressed up against mine. I stroke her arm, my lips gently kissing her shoulder over and over again. I am in awe of her beauty. So many thoughts are racing through my mind. I’m stoked that I’ve found her and angry that I’m going to have to give her up so soon.

How am I going to handle losing her? Because it’s inevitable it’s going to happen, and I can’t do a fucking thing about it. Everything else I’ve been through in my life pales in comparison to this. She’s all I can think about, and losing her is everything I don’t want to face. I can’t talk to her about this, either. She’s going through enough without me burdening her with how I’m feeling. This isn’t about me. I have to keep reminding myself of that. It’s about her and making sure she knows how much she means to me.

Because she’s everything.

Chapter Eighteen

Cade

It’s still dark when I open my eyes, but I can just make out the shape of her body entangled in my arms. She’s still fast asleep, and I hold my breath waiting for the sound of her breathing, just to make sure. When it finally comes I sigh, relief surging through me like a lightning bolt.

I carefully shift positions, trying not to wake her, but she stirs, snuggling closer to me. I kiss her forehead and breathe in, soaking up her scent. What time is it? The sun isn’t up, so it must be early. I reach over to check my phone. It’s just after five. What am I doing awake this early? I’m not a morning person, so being awake at the crack of dawn is almost depressing.

For the next hour I watch her sleep, mesmerized by her beauty. After a while, her eyes flutter open. She looks confused for half a second, until she registers where she is. She smiles, her face flushing as if she’s remembering last night. I know I am.

“Morning, sunshine.” I grin, kissing those lips.

She bites her lip and giggles. She’s so cute when she’s embarrassed. “Morning.”

“Fancy meeting you here,” I tease.

She yawns and rolls onto her side, her naked body nestling up against me.

“Did you sleep well?”

“I think so,” she replies. “Did you?”

“Not so much, but I filled in the time watching you sleep.”

That tell-tale blush returns, making my heart ache.

I smirk at her. “Don’t worry, you didn’t do too much to embarrass yourself.”

“I don’t think you’d tell me even if I did,” she retorts. She presses herself against me.

I harden, wrapping my arms around her waist as she grinds gently against me.

“I’m sorry I fell asleep last night. I wanted to make you happy too.”

“Making you happy made me happy,” I mumble. I push back her hair and kiss her neck. “But if you want, you can make it up to me now.”

I roll onto my back and she climbs on top of me, her hands cradling my face. She kisses me deeply, her mouth pressed against mine. My dick thrusts at her entrance as if he has a mind of his own. She wraps her fingers around my girth, guiding me inside her.

Fuck, she feels good. I slide deeper inside, her tight pussy milking my cock. She rides me, forcing me inside and out, her breasts bouncing against the rhythm. I cup her arse, rocking her faster, pushing all of me deep inside her.

I growl and throw my head back, almost at the point of erupting. I groan and jolt forward, my muscles clenching as I release. She grins, falling on top of me, wrapping her arms around my neck while I’m still inside her.

“Holy shit, that was amazing,” I mumble. “What a way to start the day.”
