than she already had.
Kissing ceased at some point and when he rose slightly, she glanced down between their
bodies to glimpse a large, rigid staff of flesh that made her gasp. And then his hand
was under her skirt again, this time roughly pulling the fabric between her legs aside,
and then came the firm, smooth thrust.
She cried out at the penetration, somehow forceful and gentle at the same time. And
she clung to his shoulders anew. Oh Lord. He was in her. So big. So filling. It was
as if she’d forgotten. What this felt like. How consuming. How it became almost the
biggest part of her, feeling so infinitely larger than its true size. And even though
they both lay perfectly still at the moment, she’d never felt more powerfully taken
by a man.
Both of them breathed raggedly, audibly. Her lips trembled.
“You’re so tight.” The words came in nearly a growl. “And wet, babe. You’re fucking
drenched.”
Neither observation surprised her. The first the result of not having had sex in a
while, the second the result of . . . him.
“Please,” she whispered. Oh God. It had come out completely unbidden. It was because
she wanted—needed—more now, needed him to move in her.
“Please what?”
“Fuck me,” she whispered. Words she’d never said before. Because she just didn’t talk
that way. But that was what he’d called it a little while ago. And that was what she
needed now—as badly as she needed air to breathe.
“Aw, babe,” he rasped hotly, and she still couldn’t quite believe she’d said it, but
she liked that it turned him on.
And she also liked that it made him begin to move. Inside her. The first slow, deep,
potent drive felt almost like being entered all over again. “Unh . . .” she moaned
in response as it echoed through her body. And as he proceeded to deliver hard, smooth
strokes that seemed to reach her very core, she began to meet them, the rough friction
creating still deeper sensation that washed all through her, filling her more and
more.
And he continued to look at her, through each and every powerful thrust, his eyes
like hot, dark embers. She couldn’t quite meet them now, though—she wasn’t sure why—so
she studied his mouth instead. The strong mouth that had kissed her for so long and
so well. The mouth that had sucked her breasts. The mouth that had commanded, no less
powerful even when speaking quietly, that she be a good girl for him.
Because her lips were trembling and she was so distressed by how very much she liked
being his good girl, she lifted to kiss him some more. And mmm, it was a good distraction
from both.
He returned the kisses with vigor, long and passionate at first but then ebbing into
shorter, harder meetings of their mouths. All the while he plunged into her slow and
thorough, each stroke making her feel utterly . . . dominated. And . . . tame. Like
some well-behaved pet. What a foreign feeling. And yet . . . somehow it felt . . .
safe. Even as he pounded into her so commandingly. She couldn’t understand that part.
But she couldn’t understand
most
of this and, at the moment, had better things to focus on anyway.
She drank it in, soaked it up. There was nothing else to do now. The fighting was
over, both inside her and out. All that remained was pleasure. And, of course, thoughts.
About how strange and shocking this was. But soon enough even those dissipated. Especially
when he pounded into her harder, harder, harder. Each impact jolted her whole body,
consuming her, and all she could do was cling to him, her arms wrapped tight around
his neck, as jagged cries of passion sprang from her throat.
She listened to the low moans that left him, enjoyed the feel of his hands on her
flesh as he plunged into her moisture below, realized at some point that she’d hooked
her legs around his thighs and hoped the heels of her shoes weren’t digging in to
him
