Addicted

I slid my hands under her ass and squeezed it as I leaned down and gave her exactly what she wanted.

Me, hungry as fuck for her.

Chapter 32

Val

Warmth filled my entire body as Tate worked me into a frenzy with is mouth and fingers. I came up off the couch as my orgasm hit, and the room danced around me in various shadows. He whispered naughty promises against my swollen flesh and took me again, though I begged him not to. It almost didn't seem fair, seeing that he was so damn good at bringing me over the edge.

He glanced up and licked at his wet lips as he petted me. "God, I love your body."

"It loves you, too." I reached down and touched his cheek. "Make love to me on the floor by the fire?"

"Yeah. That sounds great." He got up and offered me his hand.

If he had been anyone else, I'd have pulled the blanket around me and tried to hide behind it, but something about him made me want to bare everything I was or would be to him and him alone.

"Tate." I stopped in the middle of the room.

He turned to face me and worked on his slacks. "What, baby? You need something?"

"Do you think we've taken things too fast?" I couldn't help but ask. Where my sister was back at the house soon to go to bed with a man she could care less about, I was soon to lay down on a pile of blankets beneath the one I felt like I could spend forever with. I was concerned that my infatuation wasn't the beginnings of love, but rather something more passing like lust.

"No. Do you?" He kicked off his slacks and pulled his underwear off before moving up to stand in front of me. The feeling of his body pressed to mine was like nothing I could remember enjoying quite as much.

"No, but I worry. We keep talking about falling for each other, but I think I've already fallen. It's only been a couple of weeks."

"When you know it's right, it's right." He slid his hands into my hair and pulled me up for a long probing kiss.

I ran my hands around his waist and over his ass, rubbing soft circles into the muscle as I flattened myself to the front of him.

"And you think you know it's right?" I broke the kiss and moved around him as I got down on the floor and patted the space beside me. "Come here."

He grabbed a few condoms from his slacks on the floor and dropped them behind me as he got down on the floor beside me.

"I think love is finicky, Val. It comes and it goes, but when it shows up, it's rare. You gotta grab a hold of it. Too many people settle, much like it sound your sister did today, but we don't have to. At least, I don't have to." He smiled. "You might already be settling."

"I'm not settling, but where do we go from here?" I scooted closer to him, wanting to feel his skin against mine.

"We take it day by day, baby. I'm in no hurry, and if you're willing to get on this crazy ride with me, then I'm thrilled to take it slow. The more time I have to convince you that forever with me is a good idea, the better." He rolled onto his back and smiled. "Stop talking about all of this and get up here and make love to me. We'll figure this out as we go through it. That I'm yours and you’re mine is enough for me."

"You're right." I moved on top of him and straddled his thighs as he picked up a condom. I snatched it from him and opened it before working to slide it over the thickness of his erection. "I love how big you are."

"I love how well you take me." He ran his fingertips down my arm as I shifted up and positioned myself to take him.

He closed his eyes and laid his head back as I rolled my hips and started to make love to him. His fingers dug into my thighs as he closed his eyes with a groan. My hair danced along his chest and abs as I worked him steadily.

"I've never wanted a woman the way I want you." He brushed my hair back as I laid flush on him and pressed my lips to his, indulging myself in his scent, his touch, and his taste.

I closed my eyes and let the feeling of our bodies pressed together usher in a sense of serenity that I wanted to cling to forever. It wasn't about fucking or even physical touch, but about finding my other half, the guy that could help to complete me and make me stronger for it all.

"Love me," I whispered against his lips, not realizing that I'd spoken my deepest desire aloud.

"I already do." He turned us over and rocked against me, deepening the intensity of our sex. I cried out and wrapped my legs around him as he hovered above me, watching me lovingly.

The night was incredible, and one I wouldn't soon forget. We moved to the bed sometime during the night and made love again before crashing into the comfort of the silk sheets and king-sized bed.

He fell asleep almost immediately, but I couldn't force myself to close my eyes and miss a moment of studying his perfect features. His dark brown hair was disheveled and wet from working ourselves into a lusty mess.
