I kneel on the bed between Callie’s legs and run my gaze over her body. I’ve heard her complain about it before, but I have no idea why because the body I’m looking at right now is perfection. I love how she’s toned but not muscular and that her curves have just enough softness that I can grip onto. I’d take her however she comes, but in my opinion, she shouldn’t change a thing.
Her long, blonde hair fans across the bed under her and those beautiful blue-grey eyes look up at me with the kind of look a man craves from his woman. It’s a mix of hunger, longing and hope. I’d do anything to have her always watch me this way.
Taking hold of her hips, I bend and kiss her stomach. When her fingers thread through my hair, I shift my eyes so I can hold her gaze. I continue to hold it while I kiss a line up her body to her collarbone. Her legs wrap around me, and I move my hips so I can run my dick through her wetness. Thank fuck I’ve already got a condom on—I’m not sure how long I’ll last before the need to sink into her overwhelms me.
She claws at my back as she moans. “Luke, you’re driving me wild. How much longer are you going to take?”
I suck her neck. Her neck could hold my attention for days. “Baby, I could take hours yet. I’ve been waiting too long for you.” It’s been months of holding myself back while I tried to sort my life out and weeks of waiting for this night to happen. I laid her out on this bed an hour ago and as far as I’m concerned, an hour is nowhere near enough. I need my fill of Callie. The taste I had of her in the shower only fuelled my greed.
Her hands grasp my face, and she positions my mouth so she can catch it in a kiss. Her lips occupy a special place in my heart. Soft, delicious and addictive, they never fail to dishevel my thoughts. Some days they’re downright dangerous.
I groan into her mouth. “You make it hard, though,” I rasp when I come up for air.
“Hard to do what?” She seems as dazed as I feel.
I nip at her lips. “You make it hard for a man to hold out.”
A slow, sexy smile takes over her face. “Good,” she whispers as she tightens her legs around me. “Maybe you could stop holding out and then we could go again later.”
“You’re not about delaying gratification, are you?”
“Nope. Why wait for something you know is going to be so good?”
I suck her bottom lip into my mouth before taking over both her lips. They’re swollen from the kisses I’ve stolen tonight. “Because when you finally get it, it’ll be fucking amazing.”
Her eyes glaze over. “Kinda like you?”
“Huh?”
Her hands slide up my back to my neck, and she tangles her fingers in my hair. “I’ve waited all year for you, and now I have you, you’re fucking amazing. So I guess you could say I am into this delayed gratification. But, I don’t agree that waiting was such a good thing. I would rather have spent all that time with you rather than trudging through the guys I had—”
I cut her off. “I hated watching you go through those guys. That dating site needs to be shut down.”
Her lips twitch with amusement. “Thinking back now, you were pretty shitty about it. At the time, I just thought you were being a bastard putting down my dating habits, but now I can see th—”
“That I was jealous as fuck,” I growl.
She lifts her head off the bed so she can kiss me. “For the love of God, will you just put me out of my misery? All I’m asking for is one orgasm and then you can do whatever you want to my body for however long you want.”
Callie has this way of snaking herself into the deepest corner in my heart—the corner I thought I’d closed off. I’ve spent a good part of the last year trying to keep her out, but I’m slowly grasping that she’s not a woman who can be kept out. Not when it’s my heart in question. She just bulldozes her way through.
I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to say no to her.
I glide my dick along her pussy again, not taking my eyes off hers for a second. When I push inside her, I take in the flare of need in those eyes. And when I’m buried as far as I can be, I watch the slow-motion movement of her lashes hitting her skin as her eyes close. Her bottom lip being drawn into her mouth follows. The sequence ends with her teeth biting down on that lip.
I pull out and push back in with a little more force. Her legs clench around me and hold on for what’s next. I’m still warming up, though, and I slow for a moment so I can indulge in her lips again.
Her eyes flutter open when our mouths meet.
“You have no idea…” I say between kisses. “How much I want you.”
I pull out and slowly enter her again.
Fuck.
If tonight never ended, I’d die a happy man.
We move together in perfect rhythm. The pleasure intoxicates me, gradually taking complete control until I can’t slow this down anymore. As much as I want to delay and savour the intense bliss pulsing through my body, I’m now focused on one thing only.
