“You really think so?” She smiles at me, almost shyly, and she twirls a strand of her blonde hair in her fingers.
“I know so.” I step forward and reach for her, pulling her into a tight hug. “You were so great, Piper.”
She relaxes into my touch, and I run my hands up and down her back.
“Odessa is going to freak out when I tell her,” she says.
“I already called her,” I admit. I realize we’re still in the beginning of our relationship and we haven’t established boundaries for how our interactions are going to work, but Piper isn’t upset with me when I tell her I already took care of it.
“Thank you,” she says. “That was really, really kind of you, and I’m glad I don’t have to do anything else today,” she says. “Let’s go to bed, Maddox.”
We head upstairs and after a long shower, we climb under the covers of her bed.
“You know, I haven’t been to your place yet,” she whispers.
“It’s small,” I tell her. “I don’t need much space.”
“I like to spread out,” she tells me, still whispering, and I start to trace lines on her belly with my finger. I trace invisible little circles, and Piper closes her eyes. “I like to be creative,” she tells me. “Having extra space gives me that ability.”
“You’re very creative,” I agree. “And smart, but then, you already knew that.”
“Oh, but I don’t think it hurts to be reminded sometimes,” she smiles, and Piper kisses me. Her kiss melts my heart and sends a surge of fire to my cock. It’s not because we’re naked, tangled beneath her blankets. It’s just her.
It’s always been her.
I run my hands over her soft skin and up to her face, kissing her over and over. Piper groans, and it just makes me want her even more. I will never get tired of this woman and the way she comes apart beneath my hands. I will never grow tired o the way she moans, of the way she wiggles, of the way she spreads her legs so sweetly for me.
I push the covers off of us and onto the floor. Now I can see her in the dim light, spread out and wanting.
“You look lovely like this,” I tell her. “All spread out and eager.”
“You aren’t too bad yourself, Maddox.”
“Tell me you want me, Piper.”
“I want you, Maddox.” She pushes herself up on her elbows and just looks at me. She seems to see all of me. Piper doesn’t care that I left the police force. She doesn’t care that I have my own baggage, my own fears. She only cares that right now, in this moment, I’m with her.
And Piper Queen makes me feel like I can fly.
I reach into her nightstand drawer and pull out a couple of toys.
“Hey,” she says, laughing. “How did you know those were in there?”
“Lucky guess,” I tell her. “Now lay back and close your eyes.”
She doesn’t even hesitate.
She doesn’t question.
Piper just lies down on her bed and she closes her eyes. For a second, I just look at her. Her breasts are full and round, perfect for licking and sucking. I lean forward and run my tongue over each breast. She shivers with anticipation, but doesn’t move.
“Good girl,” I murmur, and she smiles, keeping her eyes closed.
I grab a vibrator and flick it on, and then I begin moving it over her skin. Slowly, I start teasing each of her breasts. Her nipples are hard and pointy, and I run the vibrator over each little bud.
“Maddox,” she murmurs, but I don’t stop. I move the little toy down her body, careful to avoid her clit. Instead, I go down the outside of each thigh and back up the inside. I repeat the treatment several times until Piper is on the verge of an orgasm.
“So pretty,” I murmur. “You’re so lovely when you’re about to come, little subbie.”
