Breakfast.
I’d completely forgotten that he said he would make breakfast. Even though I’d completely stuffed myself on chips and cookies last night, the thought of some coffee and something warm to eat this morning drove me to open the door and pad quietly down the hall.
It wasn’t that I wanted to sneak up on him, but I really wanted to get a glimpse of him cooking before he knew that I was up.
Peeking into the kitchen, I grinned to myself when I saw him at the stove in an apron. He was singing softly to himself as he stirred something in a pot. The smell of coffee was overpowering, and I popped out into the doorway.
“Good morning, Rose,” he said without even turning around. “How did you sleep?”
“Great. But how did you know I was there?” Walking up behind him, I slipped my arms around his waist and rested my head on his back. He was so warm and strong, and just being this close to him made me feel safe and protected.
“You’re not as quiet as you think you are.” Stepping to the side, he flipped some English muffins onto plates and then topped them with poached eggs before pouring on some hollandaise. The sauce pooled in the nooks and crannies of the muffins and my mouth watered.
“Did you make the sauce from scratch?” I dipped the tip of my finger in it and tasted it. “Because, holy cow, that is what I’m talking about.”
“I did. Come on.” He grabbed his plate and handed me my coffee before leading me back down the hall. “I think that I promised you breakfast in bed at some point last night.”
There was something that I wanted to do in bed with Brett, and breakfast wasn’t it, but I couldn’t deny the fact that the food he’d made smelled absolutely amazing. We climbed in next to each other, leaning against huge fluffy pillows and devoured the meal.
When I’d completely licked my plate clean, he took it and put them both on the floor before pulling me to him.
“Now, my sweet Rose, there are so many things that I want to do to you. You are the most gorgeous and incredible woman that I’ve ever met, and I’m not going to let anything like a council, or the harpies, or the fact that I just ate a huge breakfast stop me from loving you.”
Every touch of his fingers lit my skin on fire. I could feel my core tighten as he pulled me so that I was straddling him. The t-shirt that I’d worn to bed rode up and he hooked his thumbs lazily in the top of my panties, giving them a little tug.
“Do you have any idea just how sexy you really are?” Brett’s voice had changed from normal to something huskier and deeper. It was thick with longing and I felt the same need rise up in me.
“I don’t.” I was beginning to get the idea, though.
“Well, you are.” He planted a line of kisses from my ear to my jaw, making me shiver every time he kissed me. “You are sexy.” His hand slipped up and grabbed my hip, squeezing my skin and holding me tight to him. “You are gorgeous.” His other hand slid up under my shirt, his thumb barely grazing my nipple. “You drive me absolutely wild.”
This time, he didn’t move his hand from my skin. His thumb still traced lazy circles around my nipple and I could feel my skin pebbling. For months, I’d wanted to be in bed with Brett Cox, and now that I was there, I wasn’t sure that I could even function.
“Tell me what you want.” My voice was so filled with longing that I barely recognized it, but he grinned at me, dropping his hands back down to my panties and tugging harder on them.
“I want you, Rose. I want to fill you and feel you around me. I need to make you forget all of the terrible things happening to you right now and let you know that I am safe. I’ll keep you safe. Forever.” As he spoke, he pulled me down with him so that we were both laying in the bed.
My breathing was shorter and more hurried. I was gasping for air like a drowning person, trying to fill my lungs while at the same time enjoying every single choked second. I could die happy with Brett, I knew that, and nobody would be able to take that from me.
“And then?”
“And then I’m going to make you explode. You’re going to feel safe and finally understand how much you mean to me.”
The promises he made me coursed through my body and I bit my lip, trying hard to keep breathing. I knew that sex with Brett was going to be incredible.
I needed him.
“Show me. Brett. Show me that you care for me. Show me that…”
“That I love you?” as soon as the words left his mouth, he flipped me over and pinned me to the bed. I gasped, more out of excitement than out of fear, and he ripped my shirt off of me before sucking my nipples.
Reaching up, I stripped him of his shirt, finally getting to run my hands over his strong chest. He was all muscle, dark skin, and strength, and my body clamored for him.
“You are incredible, Rose. never in a million years did I think that I would be so lucky as to find someone like you, but now that I have you, I’m never letting you go. Do you understand that?”
Nodding, I grabbed for his pjs pants. I could feel his hard cock pressing into my leg, and I needed it out. I needed him in me, taking me for his own. He stood up and stripped before slowing pulling my panties down. As soon as they reached my ankles, I kicked them off, finally naked and free for him.
He sucked in a breath and ran his hand through his hair. “Holy hell, Rose, you are absolutely gorgeous.” The look on his face took my breath away and I reached for him, pulling him to me. He slid between my legs, landing a line of kisses up my inner thigh while I wrapped my hands in his hair.
