“Deke,” I whimpered.
At his name, our hands went from between my legs. He twisted my arm behind my back again and used both our arms to lift me, swinging me around, and he fell into me. My back was to the bed, my head hanging down the side, Deke’s weight on me. He shifted his hips and I read what he wanted, opening my legs for him to fall through.
He reached to the nightstand.
I lifted my head.
And his hand came back just as his mouth crushed down on mine for a wet, bruising kiss.
He pulled away and I watched, squirming under him, as he used his teeth to rip open the condom packet.
“Hurry,” I begged.
His eyes caught mine and I saw he was right there with me, gone like me, nothing existed but Deke and me, what we were doing, all we were feeling.
I felt his hand work between us and repeated my plea.
“Hurry.”
He yanked our bound wrists from under me, twisting his, lacing his fingers in mine, pressing our hands into the bed as I felt the head of his cock slide over my clit that was so sensitive, my entire body jerked underneath him.
I needed him to slam inside, to fuck me hard, but when Deke caught at my entrance, he didn’t thrust deep.
He pressed only the tip in and whispered, “Jussy.”
I was concentrating solely between my legs, my neck straining to hold my head up, eyes to his face but not taking him in.
When he whispered my name, I focused on him.
And I watched his face as slow, so damned slow, so beautifully slow, so goddamned Deke, he slid in…and in…and in, taking his time, until finally, blissfully, he was filling me. A part of me.
Mine.
My fingers spasmed through his.
“Made for me,” I whispered, trailing my fingertips down his spine to the small of his back.
He made a noise. Not a growl, not a rumble, not a groan, a sound that gave me all three before he dropped his head, took my mouth in a slow kiss, and took his time moving in and out of me.
As he did, it felt like he was memorizing my *, every centimeter. Not claiming it as his, exalting in what he knew he already possessed.
Adoring it.
Worshipping it.
Worshipping me.
I’d never experienced such beauty. In all I had, in all I’d earned, in all I’d been given, never, not in my life had I received such splendor.
I wrapped both legs around his thighs, trailing my fingertips on the swells at the top of his ass, lazy then faster as his movements came more quickly.
Faster, using my purchase on his thighs to lift my hips to take his thrusts deeper.
Faster, my hand now clutching the hard cheek of his clenching ass.
He broke the kiss. Bending his neck at a sharp angle so his forehead was pressed to my shoulder, my head fell back off the side of the bed. His fingers in mine grasped so hard they brought slight pain as his other hand went between us, his thumb skimming through the hair between my legs until it found my clit.
It pressed and rubbed.
And I was done.
My head shot up and I turned my face into Deke’s neck and cried out when I exploded, my eyes closing, my breath suspending, my vision detonating in bright, my body arching and tightening.
His hand laced in mine jerked both up and I felt him grip my hair as his hips bucked punishingly into mine and my breath came back as I gasped through the final throes of my orgasm, hearing him grunt and feeling him rear through his.
It took a long time before he slowed and settled inside. I felt his hand loosen in my hair so both our hands were just tangled in it, his other hand sliding out from between us to wind around me at the waist. He used that to tug me into the bed so my head wasn’t hanging off.
Through this, he kept his face in my neck and I felt his labored breaths breeze against my skin.
We lay there and another thing that was so Deke, something that made me know he was mine, meant for me: we did it in silence. He didn’t feel the need to rush to speak. Ask me if I was okay. If I came (though he couldn’t miss that, still). If that did it for me. If I needed anything.
He just knew I was okay, he’d made me come, everything he did did it for me and I didn’t need anything but to feel him connected to me, covering me, warming me, reveling in all he’d just given me.
Eventually, he started to work my neck with his mouth, lazy and tender, at the same time he pulled our hands out of my hair and held them to the bed, his thumb idly stroking the side of my palm in casual affection.
Finally, he nipped my earlobe with his teeth before he asked there, “Ready for some breakfast, gypsy?”
This was Deke giving me unconditional beauty and then Deke and me getting on with our day.
“Mm-hmm,” I mumbled my response.
He lifted his head and grinned down at me.
I lifted my head and touched my mouth to his.
I dropped back and saw his face was as it was when Deke woke from sleep. Smooth. Untroubled. Content.
Happy.
