“It’s still dark out,” I grumble. I open one eye and want to slap him for waking me. Last night we spent our time just the three of us holed up in the living room. We played with Aarabelle and then he held me for hours.
We didn’t speak about what the day had held. I think each of us needed to process it on our own. A year changed a lot for me. I learned a lot about life, love, grief, and that there are no real answers for any of it. Love can hurt and heal. Aaron hurt me deeper than I knew was possible, but Liam showed me it’s okay to forgive. Grief ate at me, formed pockets of guilt and anger so deep I didn’t think I’d find a way out, but I did. There are still times I’m angry, but I won’t let it define me. Each day I have to choose the life I want to live.
“I’m going to go for my run, but then I thought maybe we could exercise together,” his voice penetrates deep into my core.
God, his voice is sexy.
“What did you have in mind?”
His lips glide over my ear and he pulls my hair back exposing my neck. He gently bites the skin there and I moan. Slowly, his tongue slides across the skin he just nipped. “Maybe some cardio?” he suggests. “Or stretching . . .” he says as he bites another sensitive area.
“I . . .” My voice is breathless when his hand snakes across my chest. “I . . .” I can’t get the words out.
Liam’s hand squeezes my breast as his mouth explores my neck and ear. “You what?” he breathes the words into my ear.
His fingers pull at my nipples and my ass rocks against him. I’m already wet. I want him so bad. “I want you,” I say in a voice that even I don’t recognize. I’m needy and begging for him, though he’s barely touched me.
“How bad?”
I moan as his hand finds my other breast. I try to roll over, but his body keeps me where I am. Completely at his mercy.
“How bad do you want me, Natalie?”
“More than my next breath.”
His hand dips lower and he pushes my legs apart. When his finger finds my clit, I moan out in ecstasy. He pushes and swirls while I lay panting. My hand reaches back and I push his shorts and underwear off. I want to lead this one.
My hand wraps around his dick and I pump him up and down as he swells beneath my touch.
“I want to do something,” I say as he continues to insert a finger inside.
“Do anything you want,” he offers.
I sit up and take my top off. Liam’s eyes shine in the low light entering from the moon. Morning, my ass.
I pull his pants off and he shifts on the bed. Leaning down, I wrap my lips around his cock. Liam groans and his fingers tangle in my hair.
“Holy fuck,” he moans.
My mouth glides up and down his length as I focus on every breath hitch and sound he makes. I focus on taking him deep and know he must enjoy it based on how his hand tightens in my hair. I slide back up and then take him deeper, and Liam moans again.
“Natalie, you need to stop.” He pulls me and flips me on my back. “I’m going to fucking drive you insane.”
I have no doubt.
He pulls my legs over his shoulders and wastes no time. Liam’s mouth is on me in a moment and my head falls back. He licks and devours me. There’s no finesse. It’s savage and feels incredible. His finger enters me and he pumps inside of me, twisting his hand while his mouth sucks at my clit.
“I’m gonna come,” I say as he takes me higher.
He doesn’t relent and slips another finger inside that moves at the same pace as his tongue. My breathing is erratic and I’m growing closer to release. I can taste it. I need it. Liam sucks harder and I fall apart. I squirm and pant as he continues to draw everything I have.
“So fucking gorgeous,” he says and slowly climbs his way up my body.
My hand grips his neck and I pull his mouth to mine. Our tongues meld together and he slips inside me.
“Oh,” I break apart as he pushes deep and waits. “Move. Please, move,” I beg as he rests fully seated inside of me.
He waits with eyes closed as if he’s memorizing this feeling. I’m full and want him to take me.
“I want to live inside of you,” he says and then pulls back. “You’re made for me.” He continues to talk as he pushes deeper than before. Liam slides back and forth as he fills my heart and my body. “I want to love you all day.”
My eyes close as I savor the sensations of him inside of me. When I look up, I rest my hands against his face. “You already do,” I say softly. “You love me all day.” He slows his pace but continues to move as I tell him how I feel. “You give me so much without even knowing it. You healed me. You gave me the strength to be the woman I once was.” Liam’s eyes stay locked on mine as he pours himself into me and I pour my heart out to him. “You showed me how to love again. So you do love me all day, and I love you.”
We both stare at each other as we make love. A tear falls from my eyes as we both fall over the edge together without saying a word. Liam holds me against him as I cry, overcome with love and happiness. This is a moment I’ll never forget. It’s the moment I realized just how deeply in love I am with Liam Dempsey.
