“We don’t gotta get up yet.Right?”He muttered, and he was so adorably grumpy and my heart squeezed.
I checked my watch.“We have about an hour.Reduced bakery hours on account of the double shit storm.”
He huffed out a laugh.“Right.Laurie’s broken arm and now Jenny has toddler plague.It’s the worst kind of all plagues.”He smiled against my shoulder.“Within the first week of movin’ in with me, Toby gave me some absolutely horrific viral thing.Jesus, Maddie, I’ve had easier gunshot wounds.”
“How many times have you beenshot?”I demanded.
“I’ve been shotatmany more times than I’ve been shot,” he reassured me.“Worst time was when I got shot mannin’ a checkpoint in Afghanistan.”He took my hand, slid it under his shirt and up so my fingers kissed his bottom rib.I felt the unmistakable pucker of a healed scar.“Took damn near forever to heal.”
My eyes burned.“I’m so glad it did heal.”
“Me too.Anyway, thisthing, whatever it was, made my hands and feet burn up.I had ulcers on every inch of my tongue.Least you only get shot in one place at a time.”
I gently touched the scar.It seemed so small, but it could have killed him.The enormity of it made me wonder how anyone in relationships with soldiers on active duty coped without worrying every second of their day.
“It’s no joke, Rick.I could have lost you before I even found you.”
“Sorry.It’s gallows humor.Gets you through.”He pressed a gentle kiss to my cheek.“Enough about that.”He shifted next to me, leaning up on to his side, and pulled me into the warm length of his body.“You said we had an hour.I fully intend to make use of that hour, as long as you want this, too.”
Oh, my God, I wanted it.
“Yes, please,” I managed to say, which was impressive considering my brain had short-circuited just from feeling the hard press of his cockrightwhere I wanted it.
He cupped my cheek and bent his head to kiss me, and when our mouths touched I opened for him, sliding my arms around him and rolling on to my back so I took him with me.His weight on top of me wasdelicious,I spread my legs to feel the heft of his cock, and I bowed up to him on instinct.
“Fuck,”he cursed, and I loved hearing the expletive in his scratchy, deeper morning voice.“Maddie.I want you so bad.”
“Please, take me.”
He smiled against my mouth, then dropped his kisses down over my jaw and along my neck.I arched to give him better access and shivered in anticipation when his fingers worked open the buttons of my pajama top.
He murmured, “Goddamn, who knew flannel could be so sexy?”, I laughed, feeling light and free, until the feel of his hot mouth enveloping my nipple rendered me incapable of coherent thought.
He used his tongue and lips to drive me to the brink, and then switched to my other breast and did it all again, using his hand to caress the nipple neglected by his mouth.It was an assault of pleasure and I pressed up into his mouth, both never wanting it to end and also wantingmore, more.
Rick glanced up at me, and his gaze was dark with wanting.“Okay?”
“Oh,yeah.”
He kissed his way down my stomach and then trailed his mouth along the waistband of my pajama bottoms.
“Oh, my God, yes,” I encouraged him, and he tugged them down, revealing my plain black underwear.I hadn’t worn clothes to seduce, but he seemed seduced all the same, an appreciative groan escaping his lips as he eased them off and was met with naked flesh.
I lifted my legs so he could work off the panties and the sleepwear bottoms, and then he covered me again, his warm, callused hands parting my legs as he settled between them.My inner muscles clenched hard, impatient, and I fisted the sheets in my hands as he pressed kisses to the inside of each of my thighs.
“Please,” I begged him.
He lifted his gaze to mine.“You want something?”
His grin was quick and deadly, and I was about to just shove his head where I wanted it when he parted my folds and took a long, considering lick.
I arched off the bed, his name flying from my lips, and he moved one arm to band across my lower body, holding me in place.
Our eyes met when we looked down, and he held my gaze for a moment, making sure I wanted this as much as he did.
When I nodded, burning up too hot to speak, he bent back to the task at hand, murmuring “fuckin’ delicious” as he worked his tongue first over my clit and then down to my entrance and back again.I had no choice but tovery happilytake it because he’d pinned me to the bed with one hand and held me open to his ministrations with the other.
I felt the slow coil of an orgasm building in the pit of my belly as Rick circled his tongue over the little swollen bud of my clit.Every time I got close, when the flutters started to build, he changed tactics, writing his name, or the alphabet, or whatever, until he brought me to the precipice of that cliff again.
