Page 24 of Claiming His Bride

“Fuck, don’t touch me. I might explode.” He swallows hard, his Adam’s apple moving prominently in his throat.

My whole body clenches in lust. Why I find everything about him so sexy is a mystery. I’d like to hide it because my lust gives him power over me, but I’m too inexperienced or maybe just too needy.

“Forget I said anything.” I throw my arms wide.

“The hell I will.” He rips the shirt off. I mean, he doesn’t even bother with the last five or six buttons, just tears it apart. The buttons fall to the carpet. His pants are unzipped before he even reaches me, and his enormous cock bobs in the air. Not for the first time, I wonder how that thing ever fits inside of me.

He cups my face, covering my entire jaw in a possessive, dominating gesture. “I can’t believe you did that. Sounds fucking painful, but I will honor it. Swear to you.”

“I’m sure you’ve seen it before.”

“Never.”

My eyes grow huge. “You don’t have to lie to me.”

He tilts my head back, so I’m forced to stare into his gaze. “Not fucking lying, Aurora. Never had any interest in anyone before you, and I sure as hell don’t plan on anyone after you. I don’t trust easily. Allowing someone that close could be death.”

“You’re not scared I could kill you?” I give a coy smile. I’m the same girl that found a spider the other day and made him come get it and take it outside for me. Still, a happiness unlike any other fills me. He trusts me when he’s at his most vulnerable. It might not be love, but it’s close.

“Don’t you get it? You’re it for me. I’m not moving on from you. If you leave me, I’m just going to follow after you. I’ll be that pesky bit of toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your shoe that you can’t get rid of.”

I choke on my laughter. Filled with giddy glee at his words, I reply, “I hope you’re more durable than tissue.”

He presses me back against the bed. “I’ll show you durable.”

And he does. He muscles his shoulders between my legs and gives proper homage to my tender skin. Kisses are placed all over the newly bare areas. My little clit is sucked on until it’s so sensitive that the still air causes me to shiver. He laves and nibbles his way along my sex, teasing me with the promise of penetration but never delivering until I grab him by the hair and hold him to me.

He chuckles, low and gravelly, the sound reverberating through my body, and then he fills me up, first with his tongue and then with his cock. His mouth, wet from my pussy, crashes down on mine. I taste myself and him, a naughty cocktail that curls my toes and sends shock waves down my spine.

His hands are everywhere—in my hair, on my breasts, gripping my ass and then my thighs. Every part of him is loving every part of me.

“You with me, Aurora?” he rasps in my ear. I nod and wrap my arms around his shoulders.

“Ready.” And even as I say that, I’m not prepared for the power of his thrusts. He always holds himself back until the end, until I’m close. He wants me to come with him. In fact, he won’t let himself go, won’t give in to the pleasure, until I go first. I close my eyes and let the flood of sensations wash over me. Ecstasy explodes from my core with the reverberations skittering down my legs into my toes and climbing up my spine to grab me by the throat. He swallows my cries of pleasure and urges me to a new peak, plucking at my clit until my body is seized again.

All the fear and anxiety from today melt away. When I’m in Mikael’s arms, I know I’ll always be safe. Maybe even one day… loved.

That might be the one thing holding me back fully. He has more than made it clear that this is about more than Blackstone, but that one word has me spiraling, my own mind playing games that he’s too good to be true.

MIKAEL

“Do I want to know where you’re going? Should I be offended that sex hasn’t drained all your energy like it has mine? I can’t even lift my arm.” She raises her arm about two inches off the mattress and lets it flop back down.

I tighten my tie before crossing over to the bed. She looks sleepy and sweet tucked under the big down comforter, surrounded by a half dozen pillows. Perfect. The temptation to climb back in bed with her is strong, but I have unfinished business to take care of.

“I’m just going to run an errand.” I lean forward and brush a kiss across her cheek. The scent of her warm body fills my lungs, and my fingers curl involuntarily around my tie. It would be so easy to strip all my clothes off and take her again. “Keep my side of the bed warm.”
