I slide into his lap until our lips meet for a soft kiss.
His strong arms circle me. “Can I just stare at you for an hour or two?”
My hand runs over my damp hair. My makeup is washed away. My skin flushed from the heat in the water. “I’m a mess.”
His eyes search mine. “I thought I knew what beauty was until I saw you on the airplane. You’re even more breathtaking tonight.”
I run the pad of my thumb over his left brow, smoothing it. “You mean that, don’t you? They’re not just words to you?”
His hands leap to my face, cupping my cheeks. “My grandfather lost his sight a few years before he died.”
The emotion in his words catches me off guard. I fumble with what to say in response, so I sit in silence staring into his deep brown eyes.
“He knew it was coming, and the man was stoic as shit.” He lets out a deep laugh.
I can’t help but smile. “He sounds very strong.”
“He was.” He dips his chin. “I only saw him cry once. Just one time.”
“When?” I whisper.
He takes a deep breath. “When he realized that he’d never seen my grandma’s face again.”
I swallow hard, biting back a wave of unexpected emotion. “That’s beautiful and incredibly sad. He must have loved her very much.”
His gaze searches my face before he glances to the left and the vast view of the city beyond the glass of the window. “He loved her with everything he had. He died holding tightly to her hand.”
I don’t stop him when his hand slides from my face to my shoulder and down to my waist. He grips my bare skin, tugging me closer to him.
“He told me to appreciate beauty in its purest form every chance I could.” His tongue slicks his bottom lip.
“I do that each time I look at you.”
I rest my hands on his chest and lean in to kiss him on the lips. “I’m glad I’m here.”
He brushes his fingertips over my chin. “Me too, angel.”
Chapter 34
Jeremy
I thread my fingers through Linny’s hair, straining to control each of her movements.
My cock is between her lips. Her tongue is circling the tip and all I want to do is fuck her mouth. The desire to hold her in place and pump into her is all consuming.
Sweat peppers every inch of my skin as I fight the urge to hold her head in place and take what I want.
I did that after our bath.
I picked her up after toweling her off, dropped her in the middle of the bed and settled between her thighs.
I ate her pussy until she begged me to stop. I didn’t. I finally slid my mouth up her body when she cried out that she couldn’t take it anymore.
I couldn’t either. My cock was aching. When I fell onto my back, she was on top of me in an instant.
“I won’t come in your mouth,” I growl the words out through clenched teeth. “I want to come inside of you.”
She shakes her head, her tongue stroking a lazy path over the head of my dick.
