he loved it. His teeth closed over the ball and he tugged on it carefully. His reward was instantaneous. Her pussy clamped around him, and she cried out in the silent room, her body shuddering with her orgasm.
Releasing the ball, he circled the nipple with his tongue. Once her spasms subsided, he gripped her nape and hauled her down for a rough, possessive kiss at the same time he thrust his cock into her.
Fast sure strokes pushed him to the edge, and he came. It was the most intense thing he’d ever felt, seeming to rush through his body and out his pores. He felt reborn.
The kiss changed as his heartbeat gradually slowed, from something fierce to loving, and finally he released her. Sliding out of the warmth of her body, he pulled her down next to him and rolled them onto their sides. Spooning her from behind, he wrapped his arms around her with his hands flat against her tummy. He felt rage rise inside him again when he felt her scars and with effort, pushed it away. It wouldn’t help her now. One hand crept up her stomach to her breasts, palming their weight, learning her curves. With soft fingers, he traced the rings.
“When did you get these?” he asked.
“Five months ago.”
He tugged on one gently, and she groaned in response. “Why?” She shrugged. “It was just something for me, something personal.” He sensed that wasn’t her complete answer. “What else?” Sighing, she turned her head and looked at him over her shoulder. “Is nothing private with you?”
“Not when it involves my mate, no.” He frowned and waited her out in silence, switching to finger the other ring.
Finally, with a huff, she went on. “I read it would increase sensitivity. I wasn’t very sensitive before. I liked how they looked, so I went for it. I didn’t notice you complaining.”
“If you were so determined to stay single, why would you bother?” She didn’t answer him, and the smell of her arousal rose as he continued to play with her nipple rings.
After a moment, he went on. “Maybe you were ready to accept me sooner than you thought.”
“I don’t know if I’m ready now, Billy.”
“I think you are,” he whispered in her ear, lowering one hand to dip between her folds. She was wet and warm for him. He lifted her top leg over his hip, and guided his cock into her. Rocking an easy rhythm, he returned to her breasts. The rings were a serious turn on, even more so knowing when and why she’d gotten them. He’d been resigned to spend weeks gaining her trust. He hoped this was a sign it wouldn’t take so long.
After a few more strokes, his ability to think dwindled to nothing, and he reached for her clit, rubbing in fast hard circles and willing her to come as he fought his own release. She didn’t let him down.
Her pussy squeezed around him and she came, crying out his name. He was right behind her.
Afterwards, they both lay quietly panting until sleep claimed them.
Chapter Three
Chloe knew before she opened her eyes that she was alone. The house felt empty. With no sounds of another person’s breathing or moving around, it seemed devoid of life where once it had been her refuge from the storm. Determined to keep from getting maudlin, she climbed out of bed and headed for the shower. It was still dark, and a glance at the clock showed it was just before six. She hurried. The sun was about to rise, and she liked to watch it slip over the horizon with her morning tea on the back deck. Besides, it was Saturday and she would soon have company.
The shower stall was wet, but the room was cool. Billy had been gone awhile. Way to go, Chloe. You managed to make it a whole two minutes without thinking about him . She groaned.
How was she going to be able to walk away on Monday if he was on her mind as soon as she woke up?
Turning the faucet to hot, she stepped in and dunked her head. Water streamed over her hair and she imagined it washing away all the bad stuff from the past year. If only it were that
