Chapter Thirty-four
Kurt couldn’t ever remember a time when he felt such a cherishing feeling. It seemed as if the woman he was holding had been born waiting for him to find her. In such a short time, she’d become ridiculously precious to him, and he didn’t understand how it could happen that way.
One of his buddies in Afghanistan had described his deep feelings about his wife back home, and he’d kind of mentally pooh-poohed the devotion, thinking it way over-the-top unrealistic.
How could any man be so in love with another person that his whole being became wrapped up in hers? Was it possible for one woman to mean so much to any man that she might have a hold on his heart… be a matter of life and death to his happiness?
He’d seen the truth for others. Had always suspected folks felt that way. Didn’t he have Molly as an example of everlasting love? Thinking about his mom, he admitted to there being pure sentiments in her case.
Lord Almighty, he’d always loved his Molly-mom, but it wasn’t like this. He cared about her as her own person, someone who brightened his world… made it have color.
But, Ruby, her life had become so entwined with his contentment that he couldn’t imagine her not being a part of his tomorrows. It was that simple.
When she slid into his arms, his heart glowed, and his body hardened. Instant awareness surfaced, and he gently ground his lips against her willing mouth until she opened to him, and he found paradise.
Sweet Jesus, she tasted wonderful. Warmth from her lips and the sighs from her throat heightened his own emotions and electric sparks burst throughout his system.
When weakness overcame her, and she wilted, he took her body’s weight and lifted her in his arms to carry her to the bedroom.
“Tell me if this is going too fast for you because, baby, if you don’t stop me now, it’ll rip me in pieces if you make me stop later.”
“No, for God’s sake, don’t think about it. I want you. Just make love to me. I need this… you.” Shock sounded in her sweet tone. “I need you.” Her voice filled with understanding as if she accepted the inevitable.
He lowered her to her bed, and because her arms held on to him tightly, he followed her down. Their kisses became deeper, building passion and an ache older than time.
He pulled back long enough to help her lift her sweater and grinned as her hands got in the way while she fiddled with the buttons on his shirt. Laughing, he grabbed one side and then the other and pulled so the snaps opened all the way down the front. With his naked chest revealed, she dove in so her lips could caress his nipples, and her hands work magic with the skin on his chest and abs.
While she pleasured herself on his body, he delighted in removing her bra. A ragged sigh escaped when her breasts came into view. They were full, pink-tipped, and with skin so soft he wasted no time in mouthing her peaks and enfolding the firmness in his warm hands.
Shocked at his lack of control, his panting breathlessness, it sounded like he’d just finished a five-mile run. Never before had any woman affected him this strongly.
Wanting to curb his overwhelming needs, take things slow, he stoked and nuzzled until he sensed she was also losing her mind. They were like a combustion engine sparked and ready. Her lustful, heavy breaths were tantalizing and driving him closer to the brink.
Lord, give me strength!He needed this to be good for her, but his mind was fast losing the ability to think. Feelings of delight were taking over, and all he wanted was to sink into her body and lose himself completely.
Shuddering, sensitized beyond imagination, he helped her off with her tight pants and then began working at his own. In seconds, they were both naked and reaching for the other, bringing their sweat-moist bodies together.
Her naked legs opened for him to nestle into her heat, and he took care not to put all his weight on her slight frame and somewhat bulging stomach. Their mouths found each other’s again and this kiss absolutely sizzled with intense hunger.
She clung to him, biting his earlobe and whispering her need. “Come to me. Now! Please…”
He hid his face in her neck and tried to gather his thoughts, backing away from the brink of letting animal tendencies take over what needed to be a special moment for Ruby. He had to make this as good for her as it already was for him.
He looked into her smoky, seductive eyes and let her see his desire. While holding her gaze, he slipped into her drenched heat carefully, slowly, and watched as she arched her body to him, her head thrown back, and her throat open to his lips.
Panting from the pleasure of her satisfaction, he plundered her heat and felt himself losing his mind.

Ruby wanted this connection with Kurt so badly, she’d stopped thinking and let only emotion guide her in their actions. She sensed he was a good lover, caring that she felt fulfilled before taking his own pleasure. It had never been like this before, this long, drawn-out foreplay of building a wave for her as well as himself.
Appreciating his thoughtfulness, she let him take her to the crest and then urged him to join in before she lost her mind and existed in her own passion. His penetration had been slow and gentle, opening her to his size before he began to shudder, move wildly, pounding into her so her nerve-endings were throbbing, and her body heightened by flames so consuming, she became intoxicated with the building climax.
When he whispered, “You’re so beautiful,” she flew over the edge into a vortex of delight. She wanted the pulsations to last forever. It was his final groaning plunge that shattered her last conscious thought, leaving her wallowing in pure unadulterated sensations of ecstasy.
