She’d been so focused on getting him naked, she hadn’t taken the time to remove the articles of clothing she still wore, and now she was stumped.His entire body lay out before her like a buffet of sweets, only she couldn’t decide what she wanted to sample first.Their bedroom activities had always been Xander teaching her, so she schooled herself to patience and allowed him to take over.
As he slid her off him, she dragged her nails over his nipples and down his chest, eliciting a groan.
“Minx,” he said.
She shrugged a shoulder with a half grin.There was no reason she couldn’t play even when overwhelmed.
He stood to make fast work of the remaining pieces she wore, setting down the exquisite beribboned corset with care onto a nearby chaise, giving her the enticing scenery of his naked muscles moving in the afternoon light from the window.This beautiful kind man was now her husband, partner, and equal.She was still coming to terms with the degree of happiness that brought her, although she might never fully understand it.
Swooping her up, he cradled her in his arms and kissed her.Longing replaced her overwhelm as she kissed him back, trying to get closer and closer to him.He laid her on the bed, staring at her as she had at him.The air that now separated them created goosebumps all over her skin, making her shiver.
Their love lay between them in every look, kiss, and caress.When his mouth met hers, he showed his respect for her thoughts and words.His lips on her breast reminded her that their hearts were one now.And his worship of her most delicate flesh with his lips and tongue and fingers reinforced their future, a lifetime to explore one another.
Every stroke felt new, every kiss had a greater meaning, as though they repeated their vows with each new touch.
Sensation and emotion twined together, spreading like fast-growing vines through her body, right to her fingertips.She undulated beneath him, craving more.His fingers fluttered through the curls over her most sensitive flesh, but did not allow her to seek a firmer touch, holding her still with his upper body leaning over her.She could not stop kissing him to beg anyway.
Finally, she stopped clutching him and shoved, catching him unawares.
He fell back, and she climbed over him once again, mimicking his actions in a procession down his body.
Before she got far, one hand on his cock and her lips on his nipple, his hand slipped between her legs and thrummed her swollen, needy nub.She shuddered and lost focus on what she’d been doing.
He took advantage and flipped her again, nestling his hips between hers as he rumbled, “I need you.”
Beyond words, she nodded, widening her legs to welcome him.
He notched his cock at her entrance and slid home, making Evie gasp.There was a twinge of pain; he was large and she tight.But after that, nothing had ever felt quite so right to her.It was the strangest combination of comfortable and thoroughly exciting, as though she’d been made for this man and he for her.
Nothing would ever separate them again.
He moved as though to withdraw, and she gasped again and clutched him to her.No!
But oh lud, he surged back in and there was a new level of sensation, like another layer of cake, building on the last one.
“All right?”he grunted.
This was beyond anything she could have imagined, even after experiencing his fingers and tongue.The bond, the fullness of having part of him inside her while they were face to face, wove the physical and emotional response together, the frosting on the cake of rising bliss.“My word, Xander.Do that again, please.”
He laughed at her polite request and complied, over and over again.
Soon she was rising to meet him and clawing at his back to get him to move faster.
He leaned up, changing the angle of his cock inside her and hit a new spot that made every muscle in her body clench.
Two thrusts later, her orgasm exploded, cascading over her, tightening then loosening all the muscles that had clenched as she shuddered with pleasure.“Xander!”
His cock bucked inside her as her channel rippled around him, and he stiffened, stilling as he groaned his ecstasy.
He nuzzled her ear for a minute while he caught his breath and collapsed to the bed in a roll, ending on his back with her tucked into his side.
“Worth the wait?”he asked.
“Yes, but I still wish we’d been doing that for the past month.”
“Oh, there is much more to learn, never fear.”She snuggled her bottom against him and closed her eyes with a smile lingering on her lips.
