Surrendering (Surrender 1)

“I have your stuff. All you need to do is let your friends know where you are.”

I get out my phone and send a quick message to Harper and Charlie.

Me: Dec got us a room for tonight. Staying with him, but will see you in the morning.

Harper: OMG! That is so cool, what should we tell the guys?

Me: Say I went to bed early and for God’s sake, tell Charlie to keep her mouth shut. A & E know where I am.

Charlie: Bitch, I am included on this text chain and I won’t say a thing. Have fun and please tell me you are having sex with that beautiful man.

Me: Charlie! No sex, but a lot of fun.

Charlie: Give up the V- see you in the am.

Me: xoxo to you both!

I notice Declan reading over my shoulder as he starts to open the door. He smiles to himself and leads me into the room. There’s no doubt he saw the sex comments, but I can’t seem to make myself care.

When he turns on the light, I see my small bag on the bed. I go get my stuff and head to the bathroom.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m getting ready for bed.”

He makes it to my side in two strides. “You’ve been gone almost two days. I saw you looking like a fucking model in your picture only six hours ago. I’ve had you in my lap the last hour. There’s only so much I can take. I need to taste you now.”

He grips my chin and tilts my head up. His lips are on mine in less than a second. I fall into him. His scent is intoxicating. His mouth tastes like beer and bourbon and I wobble as I try to take him in. His kiss is demanding. The lust is evident and I feel his hard length on my stomach. In this moment, I know I’m falling for him. I reach up to run my fingers through his hair and he reaches around my waist to hold me up. I only break the kiss when I know I’m about to pass out from lack of oxygen.

“That’s more like it,” he says against my lips. “Now can I help you get ready for bed?”

I’m not sure what he means, but I nod my head in agreement. He reaches under my arm and unzips my dress while biting down my neck. The dress starts to fall and the cool air is a relief to my overheated skin. When the dress pools at my feet, I realize I’m only in my lingerie and heels. I reach to cover myself, but he stops me.

“Don’t cover yourself. Let me see your beautiful body. I want to do things to you to show you how much you mean to me.”

I slowly step over the dress and into his arms. He lifts me up and carries me to the bed. When he lies me down, he stands up and looks down at me. ‘Stunning’ is all he says.

I find my voice. “You have too many clothes on.” I reach up to undo the buttons on his shirt. He kicks off his shoes and shrugs his arms out of the sleeves. When I finally get to his pants, he stops me.

“No, this isn’t about me tonight. I’m going to pleasure you.”

“But what if I want this to happen tonight?”

“It will happen, Raven, but not tonight. Tonight is all about you.”

I run my fingers over his zipper and feel is entire length. “What about you?”

He hisses through his teeth. “Please don’t test me.”

He removes my hand and swings it over my head. He starts back at my neck and leisurely kisses his way down my body. He unhooks my bra and throws it behind him. His mouth sucks gently on my nipples. I’m out of breath by the time he moves to my abdomen. I begin to squirm from the uncomfortable aching between my legs. I feel every kiss he gives me because they light me on fire. When he reaches the edge of my lace panties, he lifts his head up to me. His eyes have turned a darker shade of green.

“Is this okay?”

Hell yes! I nod.

He slowly rolls the panties down my legs and pulls each foot through until I’m lying on the bed with just my shoes. It hits me that I’m completely naked, but I don’t feel shy.

“Unbelievably beautiful.” He trails kisses up my thighs until he reaches my center.
