All mine.
Our lips came together in a frenzied kiss that had my heart beating so hard I was sure she could see it trying to jump out of my chest and right into her capable hands. We kissed like it was the first time, and the last time, our lips would ever touch. I held her close because Val was precious to me and this was the only way she would believe it. My body was on fire with her nipples pressed against my chest, her hands running through my hair and down my back to my ass.
Then, she pulled back and the heat was gone, leaving only cold air between us. “Trey.” This time she panted my name and put her fingertips to her lips, probably still tingling the way mine were.
“Let them talk. Let’s be so happy that we make them jealous. Who cares?” I didn’t know if my words had any effect on her until she leapt into my arms and took my mouth in a kiss that was even hotter because she was the one who initiated it.
My legs moved until I had my woman pressed up against the door while her kisses stole my breath. My hands gripped her thighs and held her close while the heat at her core set me on fire.
Val pulled back again and I took advantage of her position, kissing my way down her body until I reached her damp panties and pushed them aside. My tongue flicked out once and then twice. “Oh!” Her hips bucked against me and I held them, licking her sweet heat until she begged me stop. “Trey please. You. I need you.”
I stood and stared at her while her hands made quick work of my jeans and then my boxers. “Valona,” I growled when she took me in her hand and stroked in long, intense moves. I wasn’t sure if we would ever get to this point again and I wanted to savor it.
“Now Trey. I need you. Now.”
I gave her what she wanted, hell it was what I wanted too which made it even sweeter. “Hot,” I growled. “Tight.” I smiled when her eyes fluttered shut. “Perfect.”
We came together hard and fast, and it was even better than making love in her car. I pumped into her with an open heart and the fear that this might be the last time we were together like this. “Trey,” she cried her pleasure and her warning.
“Let go, Val. I’m right here. I’ve got you.” I made love to her mouth and her body, hot and fast and so intense that I could hardly catch my breath. Being with Valona was better than any workout, more productive too. I grabbed her ass and thrust deeper, wringing every ounce of pleasure from her beautiful body until she went limp in my arms. She was beautiful with her sweat slicked forehead, pink lips curled into a satisfied smile, skin flushed prettily. “You’re beautiful, Val.”
Her head fell to the crook of my neck with a satisfied moan, and she licked my neck and nibbled my ear as I pounded faster in search of my own release. “My god, Trey.”
I smiled at her words, at the way her body still pulsed around me until the velvet grip was so tight it pumped me until I was empty. Until every drop of what I felt for her was spent. “Valona, babe. Nothing in this world is like being buried inside of you.”
“Trey.” This time the tone was pleading, as if my words, my feelings, were a burden to her.
“No Val, it’s your turn to listen.” And I had her in the perfect position to force her to listen to me. “It wouldn’t be so good, so explosive between us if we didn’t care about each other deeply. I’m falling for you, hard, and you’re pushing me away for what I see as perfectly silly reasons. Stop pushing me away, I’m begging you.”
My words had the reverse effect. Her legs loosened around me until her feet touched the floor and she literally pushed me away to straighten her clothes. When she finally looked up at me, tears swam in her eyes. “I wish I could Trey. I really do.” Without a backwards look, an apology or a promise of a later explanation, Valona was gone.
Again.
This time I worried she might stay away for good.
Chapter 23
Valona
“I’m not sure if I can do this Pippa.”
I knew it was time to lay the memory of Rodney to rest for good. Only when I put him behind me, would I be free to pursue things with Trey.
“Do what, exactly?” She asked around a yawn.
“Anything. Everything.” It sounded ridiculous to say out loud and I laughed nervously, but it was how I felt.
“Oh Val,” Pippa’s sympathetic groan tugged at my heart and my eyes began to sting with unshed tears. “You can do just about anything you set your mind to, hon. What exactly are we talking about at the moment? Trey?”
