Chapter 16
Chapter Sixteen
SUTTON
C hecking my makeup one last time in the mirror, I swipe another coat of gloss on my lips before flipping the visor closed.
After Lydia’s dad picked her up today, Mom left for her own Christmas celebrations with friends, leaving me on my own before heading to Derek’s.
I tie my black trench coat tighter around me as I push open the car door. The porch light is on, beckoning me forward. My heels clatter against the concrete sidewalk.
God, I’ve never done anything like this before. It’s like each echo of my shoes has that thought clanging around in my head. But for Derek? I wanted to surprise him.
Ringing the doorbell, I stand back and wait for him to answer. My nerves are starting to get the better of me.
I don’t do things like this, so why am I doing it now?
Because you feel safe with Derek.
When the door swings open and Derek is standing there, my breath catches in my throat. He’s wearing a fitted cream sweater and dark jeans. His dark eyes are roving over me, taking in my bare legs.
Closing the distance between us, Derek slants his mouth over mine in welcome. His hands drift down my waist, hauling me in close. I link my hands behind his neck and deepen the kiss.
Every stroke of his tongue against mine has me growing wetter. I haven’t even shown him my surprise.
“I could get used to greetings like this,” I whisper against his ear.
“When you look sexy as sin…” Derek grabs the globes of my ass and pulls me against him, letting me feel his hard length. “Can I take your coat?”
Spinning us around, I strut into the house and watch as Derek slams the door behind him.
“Care to help me?”
Taking a step back, I drag a finger over the tie and watch as Derek closes his hand over mine.
Derek’s hands are slow and methodical as he slowly pulls the tie of my trench undone. I shrug out of it and let it puddle around my feet.
A slow hand travels up my side as Derek takes in the surprise I’m wearing.
A slinky red bodysuit made of lace dips low between my breasts. It cuts high on my legs, and I turn to show off the thong in the back. It’s handmade by a designer in London that I found in a small boutique here in San Diego. It was more than I’d ever spend on something like this, but seeing Derek’s reaction? The way lust darkens his eyes?
It was worth every penny.
“Merry Christmas.”
His eyes snap up to mine, a hunger there that I’ve never seen.
“Stunning, Sutton. You are so fucking sexy, I don’t know what to do with myself.”
Stepping over the coat on the floor, I drop my bag down next to it and walk backward toward Derek’s bedroom.
“I can think of a few things I’d like you to do to me. ”
His feet carry him quickly after me. “Like what?”
“Like strip me out of this and devour my entire body.” I lick my lips as I lean against the wall behind me. “Fuck me senseless.”
Gone is the sweet Derek and in his place is one that is on the prowl. It’s like my words flipped a switch in him.
I can’t wait for him to attack.
Strong hands land on either side of my head. Derek’s nose inhales as he drags it along the thrumming pulse in my neck.
“Devour you?” He tugs my earlobe between his teeth, and I have to wrap an arm around his waist to steady myself. “Fuck you senseless?”
Another nibble on my ear. I can’t take it. My entire body is buzzing with electricity as I await Derek’s next move.
“You should know something by now, Sutton.”
“What’s that?” My voice is breathless. I’m on edge as I cling to Derek with every bit of strength I have left because this man is going to destroy me.
“I’ll give you anything you want.”
Derek attacks my mouth with his. The kiss is anything but sweet. He plunders my mouth as he grinds his dick into my aching pussy. Greedy moans and whimpers leave my mouth as I hand over control to Derek.
Strong hands grip my waist before hauling me into his arms and guiding the way into his bedroom. Derek sets me down on my feet before circling around me.
“Where have you been hiding this?” Derek asks, running a finger down the thin strap along my back. He traces the v that dips low, stopping just above my ass.
“Something new. I thought you might like it.”
“Is this my present?”
That same finger moves up my right side before he comes into view and traces it down the swell of my breast.
“If you want it to be.”
Derek leans close and presses a kiss to the top of my chest. He trails more kisses between my cleavage before lowering each strap to expose my breasts. My nipples are diamond hard as cool air hits them.
“It’s the best fucking present I’ve ever had.”
Derek’s teeth close around the tight bud, eliciting a gasp from me. “Oh, Derek.”
He ravishes them, going back and forth between the two. His trim beard is the perfect friction on the tender skin.
It’s like he knows exactly what to do to amp up my pleasure. Pushing aside the thin fabric, Derek sinks a finger inside my pussy.
It’s heaven and hell all at the same time. Because I’m desperate for it to be his dick inside of me.
“Patience, Sutton.”
“Did I say that out loud?”
“Yeah.”
I can feel the smile against my nipple as Derek moves his mouth over the fabric hiding my stomach.
When he drops to his knees and throws my leg over his shoulder, I sink my fingers into his hair to steady myself as he latches his mouth onto my pussy.
I’m not quiet as I moan with each move of his tongue through my folds. I feel wanton. Needy. Desperate for the man who has total control over me.
Only with him. Derek is the only one I’ve ever given control to. Because he can be trusted with it.
“Are you ready?” Derek nips at the soft skin of my thigh.
“For you to fuck me?”
Derek rocks back onto his heels, still fully clothed while the top half of my bodysuit hangs down under my breasts.
“Yes.”
“Yes. I’ve never wanted anything more.”
Watching as Derek stands, he makes quick work of taking off his clothes. As his cock comes into view, I’m licking my lips. If I weren’t so needy right now, I’d drop to my knees and suck him off.
But right now, the only thing I can think about is Derek thrusting inside of me.
Derek takes my hand, but instead of taking me to the bed, he spins me around and places my hands on the dresser. My eyes meet his over my shoulder in the mirror.
“I want you to watch as I fuck you.”
“Oh God,” I moan, biting down hard on my lip.
Derek slides his cock through my wet pussy as he pulls my back to his front. My skin is flushed red before he unwraps a condom and pushes inside me.
I hold onto the dresser for dear life.
“So fucking perfect, Sutton.” He rocks his hips ever so slightly. “Fucking perfect.”
As Derek moves in and out of me, one hand drifts lower, pulling the red lace fabric over my clit.
“Do that again.”
“You like that?” Derek’s eyes are playful as I continue to stare at him.
“So much.”
Derek keeps me close to him as he continues thrusting inside of me. It’s like I’m under his spell, one that I never want to break.
“You’re so wet. Taking my cock like the perfect woman you are.”
“Yesss,” I hiss. “You feel incredible.”
“Not as good as you.” Derek nips at my neck. “The way you’re squeezing my cock.”
Derek’s hands squeeze tighter, and it has the heat coiling inside me threatening to explode.
“I’m so close.”
“Come, Sutton. Come all over my cock.”
Derek drops his hands and takes hold of my hips. The pounding of his cock inside me doesn’t take much longer before I’m coming, seeing stars and galaxies that explode across the backs of my eyes.
His growled, mumbled words hit my ears before I feel him unleashing inside of the condom.
There aren’t words to describe how I’m feeling. My breath is coming in long gulps of air as I try to recover from everything Derek just gave me.
My skin is sticky with sweat as Derek pulls out, ties off the condom, and sweeps me into his arms.
His touch is tender as he sets me on the bed and pulls the sheet over me.
“I guess I should give you your present since I got mine.” There’s a gleam in his eyes as he slides the lingerie off of me.
Derek takes a quick kiss before tossing his sweater at me and finding his boxers on the floor.
Looking in the mirror, I look well and truly fucked. My hair is a wreck and my body is sore after Derek had his way with me.
And I've never felt sexier in my life. I’m shameless in ogling Derek’s back and ass as he leaves the room.
I don’t know how I found someone so damn sexy, but he is. Yet, it doesn’t even hold a candle to the man he is. The kind, caring, thoughtful man that I can’t get enough of.
Derek’s smile lights up his entire face as he races back to me and jumps onto the bed. Setting a small, wrapped box down in my hands, I rip the paper off like a little kid to expose the black, velvet box.
“Derek. We said nothing fancy.”
I snap open the small box to see a silver charm bracelet resting on the red cushion inside. Different charms are connected to the bracelet reflecting our time together. A stethoscope. A wine glass. A football. Pizza. Every single charm on this was chosen with love and care. It’s the most thoughtful gift I’ve ever received, and it has tears welling in my eyes .
“I love it.”
Setting the box on my lap, I clasp Derek’s face and pull him in for a kiss. Trying to put everything I’m feeling into it.
In the last few months, this man has completely won me over. Not only me, but Lydia too. Seeing this, I want to tell him everything I’m feeling.
Except he beats me to the punchline.
“I love you, Sutton. It feels too soon to say?—”
Pressing my fingers to his mouth, I cut off his train of thought. “No. Because I love you too, Derek. It’s right and I will protect this with everything I have.”
The kiss he gives me is nothing like the ones we shared earlier, but it means more. The love radiating off him swirls around us and it nearly brings me to tears.
Life is pretty perfect. I only hope it can stay this way.
