She was incredible. And to think, all these years he had never once given her a second glance.
You were a fool!
Aye, he surely was. But not any more. He would never again be blind to her.
Never again ignore her.
And the possessiveness he felt toward her scared him even more. Because at this moment, she had captured his heart in a way no other woman ever had. In a way he knew no other woman ever could.
She alone could destroy him. She alone held power over his heart, and he trembled at the newfound knowledge.
Maggie couldn’t believe what was happening. Where she found the courage to do these things with Braden, she didn’t know. But oh, how wondrous. The togetherness of their union touched her all the way to her soul. It was so deep, so fulfilling, so incredible that she never wanted this moment to end.
The heat of his mouth seared her as he teased and suckled. And even more incredible was the feel of his fingers plunging inside her. In and out and around. Her body quivered and jerked as her head reeled from the sensations.
She closed her eyes. It was too much for her. And just as she was sure she would die from it, her body exploded.
Maggie threw her head back and screamed out in release as the world spiraled and careened around her.
Never, never had she experienced such a thing.
And still his tongue tormented her.
“Oh, Braden,” she sighed.
He laughed almost evilly as he kissed her thigh. “I’m not through with you yet,” he said, his tone warning and yet somehow playful.
He rose up between her legs and positioned his body over hers. Maggie reached up and buried her hands in his hair as he used his knees to spread her legs wider.
He brought his lips down upon hers, then plunged himself deep inside her body.
Maggie froze as pain overrode her pleasure. “Braden?”
“Shh,” he whispered against her lips. “Give it a moment.”
Braden leaned back, away from her, ever so slightly and reached his hand down between their bodies until he found her nub. Maggie quickly forgot the pain as he gently toyed with her body, building her pleasure again.
He was so thoughtful and kind. From what she’d heard of other men, she knew most didn’t care whether or not they hurt a woman her first time. But Braden did.
And it was what she loved most about him.
Instinctively, she rubbed herself against him, impaling herself even more deeply than before.
Braden bit his lip as he felt her moving against him. “Aye, my love,” he said, closing his eyes to savor the warm, tight heat of her body around his. “That’s it.”
His breathing ragged, he let her take control of the moment as she milked his body with hers.
Never had he felt the like.
Opening his eyes, he saw the look of wonder on her face. Aye, she liked being in charge.
Ever one to please her, Braden rolled over without withdrawing from her.
Maggie sighed as she found herself on top of him again. She stared in awe of him and at the strange feel of his body inside hers and between her legs.
His eyes dark and gentle, he reached up and cupped her breasts in his hands. She covered his hands with her own, then lifted her body up, drawing herself down his shaft.
“Aye,” he breathed. “That’s it.”
