On a shudder, he collapsed on her, faced buried against her throat as he thrust again and again. Her body melted. Her inner walls squeezed his length.
“Avalynn!”
“I love you, Julius. Let go with me. Make me come. Make me—” Her mouth opened wide on anOof ecstasy as her orgasm stole the last shred of her heart and she gave it all to him.
He pounded her hard and fast, one hand on her bottom to yank her into his thrusts. “I…love…you!” he gasped out and let go.
ChapterSeventeen
Avalynn curled her fingers around the stem of the wine glass that Julius offered her. She tipped her head to smile up at her husband.
Husband. When had she stopped thinking of him as merely her bodyguard and truly being her spouse? He wasn’t an employee but a kindred spirit. After only two days with him in solitude, she never wanted to go back.
The waves crashed on the beach not far away from where they sat. Their chairs on the sand offered a beautiful view of the stars set in a dark backdrop of velvety sky, and the moonlight glimmered on the ever-changing ocean surface.
Julius stared down at her for a long heartbeat, his lips quirked at one corner as if he was about to share a private joke with her.
Slowly, he placed his hands on the arms of her chair and leaned in. His masculine scent surrounded her a moment before his lips brushed hers.
She mewled at the soft caress. She couldn’t blame the wine for this desire pooling low in her core. Whenever Julius was close, she could think of little else. She wanted him.
Reaching up with her free hand, she clutched the front of his shirt and drew him closer. As she angled her head to receive his kiss even deeper, the music of the ocean stroking the sandy beach created a background track for their love.
Love…she felt it to the deepest part of her soul. Nothing about their relationship felt forced. Each minute was as easy between them as breathing the tangy sea air.
She swiped her tongue over his bottom lip, raising a low grunt in his throat. He hooked his hand around her nape and held her into the kiss. Dark need and passion twisted in her stomach. She managed to set the wine glass on the wide chair arm and slid her arms around Julius’s neck.
He lifted her.
Wrapping her thighs around his waist, she clung to him and swished her tongue back and forth over his until her pussy throbbed.
“Christ, I can feel your want. Taste it on your tongue.” His voice was gravel and grit. Goose bumps skittered over her flesh.
He walked to the blanket that the waitstaff had laid out for the picnic they’d shared for dinner. When they were finished, Julius packed everything away in a basket and weighted the corner of the blanket down so it wouldn’t blow away in the beach breeze.
Still holding her, he dropped to his knees and tumbled her onto the blanket.
Passion seared through her. The notes of their song played in the back of her brain as he stripped off her dress. She worked the buttons of his shirt and peeled the cloth off his bulky shoulders.
Raking her fingers down his muscled chest stole her mind. “I want you!”
He withdrew to stare into her eyes. The light from the moon made the depths of his eyes appear midnight blue rather than warm brown. “And you’ll have me,” he grated out before claiming her mouth again.
He slid one finger into the leg of her panties. Her breaths came hot and fast as he located her soaking center and stretched her with a thick finger.
A gasp burst past her lips. She clung to his shoulders and rocked her hips to meet his finger thrusts. Waves crashed. Her cries mingled with her lover’s.
“Take me, Julius. Don’t make me beg.”
His eyes crinkled at the corners. “What if I like hearing it?”
Her smokey laugh didn’t sound like anything she’d ever heard from herself before. She didn’t care either—how could she be the same Avalynn with Julius? She’d never loved a man like this.
All at once, those old daydreams of a husband, a family, a picket fence, they all meshed and it was his face she saw in them.
He took off the rest of his clothes and she shimmied her panties down her hips. When she parted her thighs to invite him in, their gazes locked and held.
Love thrummed between them. If this wasn’t forever, she didn’t know anything about the world. When Julius had a condom in place and lowered himself between her legs, her heart squeezed with all the emotion blooming inside her.
