She kept herself from nodding because of her cheek. “As comfortable as I can be, considering.”
“Damn those assholes. If only I could have gotten there sooner. I had to wait for backup. I knew they had to be hurting you while I waited, and it killed me!”
She could hear his heart pounding. “Hey, you did the best you could, and you got there in time. I’m so thankful, Cal. You just don’t know how much.” She gently kissed his chest.
He cupped her head in his hand, caressing her. “I’d have done anything to get to you. Anything.”
She rose and looked into his eyes. “I’m lucky to know you. I think of that so often.”
“Oh, honey.” He gently took her face in his hands. “I decided something yesterday. Friendship with you isn’t enough for me now. I want more. Is that possible?”
Thank God he shared her feelings. “I want that too. I can’t imagine my life without you in it.”
He kissed her so softly she barely felt it, and her heart soared. “Will you make love to me, Cal?”
A line appeared between his eyes. “Are you up to it, honey? You’re awful sore.”
“I guess we’ll find out. Can we try?”
He gave her such a tender smile it made her tummy flip-flop. “Of course, sweetheart. You tell me if anything hurts, even a little. Promise?”
She nodded, her mind already imagining what her man might have in mind. Damn, why did her mouth have to be so sore? She wanted so badly to please him too.
He eased her onto her back. “Now, just relax. I’ll be gentle, and you remember that promise.”
She looked up at him and she realized just how lucky she was. This man didn’t just care for her; his look said that he cherished her.
He took her nipple in his mouth, stroking it with his tongue and sucking more of her breast into his mouth. She sighed at the pleasure that swept through her. Eyes closed, she concentrated on his mouth and what he was doing to her body. She resisted the urge to bite her lower lip as the sensation increased. Suddenly he moved to her other breast, and she sucked in a breath as the feeling stopped momentarily.
Then he began again, and she sighed, running her hands through his close-cropped blond hair. She loved the military precision of his looks. It was obvious that he’d been a Marine from his bearing and the way he moved, always aware of his body and what was around him.
His lips skimmed down her belly, careful of her soreness, and he stopped above her curls. Her stomach muscles tightened involuntarily, and she winced. He reached for a pillow and lifted her butt, sliding it underneath her. Then he settled between her legs. Her pulse sped up, and she looked down at him. He smiled at her, and moved her legs farther apart. He spread her wide and as the air hit her, she shivered in anticipation.
His tongue went slowly around in wide circles, teasing her as it aroused her too. Then he stroked up and found her sensitive spot, circling it round and round.
She clenched the sheet, the pleasure was so intense. Then he made little figure eights over it, and she thought she’d die, it felt so good. When he took it into his mouth, sucking on it, she gasped as exquisite sensation overwhelmed her senses. Her sore stomach muscles tightened, and she didn’t care. Her hands fisted on the sheets as he continued to work his magic.
He inserted two fingers inside her, and she moaned. God, how well he knew a woman’s body. As he thrust his fingers in and out, she felt a powerful wave building inside her. She whimpered and suddenly the wave burst forth, her orgasm intense and insane.
Cal rose and put on a condom, then gently slid inside her. God, he made her so tight. He groaned and slipped in a little farther. She grasped his arms and arched into him, wanting more.
“Cal, come on!” she cried.
He thrust in then, and she felt him hit home. She clasped his butt. “Yes!”
He withdrew and thrust again, quickly this time. She rose to meet him, almost out of her mind with need. He began his rhythm, and she shut her eyes as her bliss intensified tenfold. This was even better than their first time, and she knew he was holding back because of her injuries. How glorious would it be if she were healthy? Then her mind blanked, and she gave herself over to the blinding fire of her pleasure.
Suddenly Cal stopped and said softly, “Oh, Vic, honey,” and she felt him pulsing inside her.
A moment later, he lay down at her side, his arm around her waist. “Are you okay, sweetheart? Did I hurt you?”
She turned on her side to look at him. “Honey, I’ve never had a more gentle lover. Of course you didn’t hurt me.”
He caressed her cheek. “I wondered.” He paused for a few seconds. “I was able to go all in with you. I can seldom do that. It’s why I asked.”
Really? No wonder she’d felt him at her cervix. “You didn’t hurt me. I felt you—how can I say this—bump me?”
He chuckled. “I felt that too, and I wondered if that had been uncomfortable for you.”
