“Berkley, you’re my everything and I can promise you I’m never giving you up.”
Chapter Fifteen
Vaughn
As I lie back on the bed I hold Berkley while she sleeps. The plane hums through the air and I know I should be resting too but I can’t stop my mind from racing. I just keep reassuring myself that she’s okay and everything is going to be fine.
I brush her hair away from her face and I see the faint bruising around her throat. My jaw tightens when I think about that asshole putting his hands on her and the feeling of helplessness is back. What can I do to fix this?
The men were taken to jail and we should be totally safe now, but I have this fear that I need to get to the island as soon as possible so that I know she’s fully protected.
She mumbles a little as she cuddles against me and I rub circles on her back. She looks so beautiful in my arms and there’s no place I’d rather be than with her. My chest squeezes as her arms curl around my waist and she sighs in contentment.
“I love you,” I say softly because I can’t help but speak the words out loud. I never knew I could feel like this. Like my heart could be on the outside of me and I could hold it.
“I love you too.” She smiles but keeps her eyes closed.
“You’re supposed to be sleeping.”
“This is too good to sleep. I don’t want to miss the way it feels.” Her words are soft but I understand them completely.
I move lower into the bed until I’m lying beside her and we’re face to face. Her eyes open and I smile at how sweet she looks when she’s sleepy.
“Are we almost there?” she asks, and I shake my head.
“We’ve still got a few more hours to go.”
She sighs and moves closer so that every part of her body is pressed to mine. She’s in a thin tank top and panties and I’m just in a T-shirt and boxer briefs.
“I’m not sleepy anymore.” Her voice is just a whisper as her hand slides up my shirt and she brushes her fingers across my nipple.
This is the way we woke up every morning in her apartment, but now things are different. There’s nothing standing in the way of us going further than just petting and kissing. The last time we were like this I tasted the sweet place between her thighs and I’m not going backward.
“Do you need some attention?” I trail my fingers down her shirt to the soft, exposed skin of her belly where her tank has ridden up.
She bites her bottom lip and nods as I dip inside her panties to her wet folds. They’re so warm and silky as I part them with my fingers and rub her there. Her hips move with me in a practiced rhythm and I groan at how sticky she is.
When I take my fingers away she whines until she watches me bring them to my mouth and lick them clean. I move down her body while she stays on her side and then I put one of her thighs on my shoulder to open her up. When I move her panties to the side I see her wet pink petals open and watering for my mouth. I lean forward and lap at her dew, sliding two fingers inside her.
My cock aches and throbs as I make love to her with my mouth and hands. He wants his turn in her hot heaven and he’s going to get it soon enough.
Berkley tugs at my shirt until I let her take it off of me. When I feel the heat of her thighs around me while my face is buried between them, it’s almost too much. I’m surrounded by her scent and her need, and I want nothing more than to drown in her.
“Please, Vaughn, please.” She rolls her hips forward and I caress her clit with my tongue.
I move around it over and over while I rub that tight spot inside of her. Her legs clench and I feel her body arch closer to me as all of it combined is enough to send her over the edge.
She cries out and pushes her pussy forward one last time so I can taste her release. She’s so wet it’s coating the insides of her thighs and making everything so slippery. It’s her way of telling me how turned on she is, and goddamn do I need to fuck her.
“I can’t stop,” I say as I keep licking her and thrusting my fingers inside. “I don’t want to stop.”
“Don’t.” With that word I look up at her and our eyes lock. “Don’t stop, Vaughn. Make love to me.”
I don’t break eye contact as I lick her pussy one last time and then move up her body. I roll her over and pin her on her back as I kick my boxer briefs off and my cock springs free. It’s hot and hard between us, lying against her soaking wet lips.
