“Saffron, I might not be able to… complete the act,” he said between gasping breaths. She was doing miraculous things with her tongue that made his toes curl.

“I want to take care of you,” she said, continuing her path down his chest. She rasped her tongue over his nipple, and the sensation made his cock throb. He grasped her hips and fell on his back. She remained atop him, her hair unbound and falling around her face.

He’d never seen anything more beautiful in his entire life.

Saffron placed herlegs on either side of Leo’s hips and felt the solid length of him beneath his trousers. She couldn’t believe she was acting in such a wanton fashion. Seeing Leo standing had lit a fire inside her that would not be extinguished.

She unbuttoned his shirt, then kissed the inch of skin that was revealed, until there were no buttons left, and her lips had reached a thatch of crinkly hair.

“Should I continue?” she asked, running one finger along the visible bulge in his trousers.

Leo threaded his fingers through her hair. “God, woman. You will make me come undone.”

His words fueled her desire, and she could no longer stand the games. With frantic movements, she tore the remainingclothes from his body, and her own, until they were both naked and panting. His scarred leg gave her pause, but not because it disgusted her. It was a wound Leo had received while trying to save her life.

He looks bigger, she thought as she touched the head of his cock. It twitched and a bead of milky liquid appeared at the slit. She wrapped her fingers around the shaft and pumped twice. The bead of liquid dripped onto her knuckle. She rubbed it between her fingers, fascinated by the stickiness of it.

“I can’t take much more,” Leo said thickly.

She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, nervous despite their earlier coupling. How did it work, with him on his back?

“Tell me what to do,” she said.

Leo guided her to crawl up until her quim was positioned above him, although she was careful not to bump his wound. Then he took his cock in his hand and guided it to her entrance. As he slipped inside, he uttered a deep moan and closed his eyes.

“What now?” she whispered.

He squeezed her hips, then guided her down, until the curls outside her sex touched his own, and he was seated fully inside her. The feel of him, so hot and deep, sent her skin skittering with pleasurable electric tingles.

More. I want more.

She lifted herself up until he was at risk of falling out, then fell again in one quick motion.

“Ah!” She threw her head back, then repeated the act. It was similar to their previous joining and yet different. She enjoyed him this way, able to pierce her deeper.

She languished in the heady sensation until she could sense the familiar spark of pleasure hovering nearby. It frustrated her, knowing it was close but out of reach. She increased her speed, her thighs burning, but the spark refused to budge.

“Let me help,” Leo said. He cupped her breasts, then bent his body up and touched his mouth to her nipple. His ministrations brought her closer, but still, it was not enough. Finally, when she was exhausted from exertion, Leo reached between their joined bodies and touched her.

She exploded in a burst of fireworks that stole the last of her strength. She felt Leo throb within her, and then they were both lying on the bed, staring into each other’s eyes.

“You continue to surprise me.” Leo dipped his head to give her a long, languishing kiss that brought her tantalizingly close to the spark for a second time, then pulled back.

“Will it always be this way?” she asked.

How did married women ever get out of bed?

Leo chuckled, and the sound reverberated in his chest. “Between us? Perhaps.”

The smoldering embers of the fire inside her gave her the courage to be wicked. “Then we must invest in a sturdier bed.”

“I agree. I will buy you one as a wedding present.”

Her eyes burned with tears, and her throat felt like she’d swallowed a handkerchief. “Does that mean…”

Leo smoothed her hair behind her ear. “I foolishly believed I was protecting myself by not marrying you, that I would not grow to love you if I knew that our time together would eventually end. Instead, I discovered that you are the piece that fills the hole in my heart. Marry me.”
