Chapter 23
“Maya drives me wild. I’m never letting her go.” ~ Caleb
Caleb
I lay Maya down on the bed and cover her with my body. This is where she belongs. In my bed – with me – forever. I nearly told her I love her. But I didn’t want my declaration of love to influence her decision. She needs to realize her parents aren’t worth her love on her own.
But I’m done thinking about those pieces of shit. I have a warm, willing woman beneath me. The woman I’ve always wanted but thought I couldn’t have.
So many years lost. Years I could have spent with my bunny. Years we could have spent building our family.
I force those thoughts away and concentrate on Maya. She flutters her lashes at me and bites her bottom lip. My shy girl becomes a temptress in the bed. I fucking love it.
I pull her lip from her teeth. “Don’t harm my lip.”
“I think it’s my lip. ”
“When we’re in this bed. Together. It’s mine.” I punch my hips and press my hard length into her stomach and she gasps. “You’re mine.”
She winds her arms around my neck. “And you’re mine.”
“Always, Bunny. Always.”
I crash my lips to hers and she opens on a sigh. Her honey taste hits me and I moan. I love her taste. I love her. Plain and simple.
I need to tell her how I feel but not yet. Not when we’re in bed and my cock is begging for release. I don’t want her to think my declaration is a result of sexual frenzy.
I explore her mouth with my tongue as my hands skim up and down her sides. She squirms beneath me and I end the kiss to smile down at her.
“Is there something you want?”
“Yep.”
“You gonna tell me what it is?”
She wraps her legs around my hips and rubs her core against my hard length. “You’re a smart man. I think you can figure it out for yourself.”
Damn. She’s cute.
She’s also causing my cock to weep in anticipation.
I grasp her thigh to stop her movements. “Keep it up and this is going to be over before it begins.”
She bats her eyelashes at me. “Do you not have enough stamina, soldier?”
I growl. “I have stamina. But you’re a temptress. ”
Her eyes light with happiness. “I’m a temptress?” She giggles.
I nip her bottom lip. “To me, you are.”
“What are you going to do about it?” She wiggles her hips against my hard length and I bite back a moan.
“I’m going to fuck you until you see stars,” I grumble.
I planned to make love to Maya. Show her how much I love her without saying the words. But my cock has other plans.
“I don’t know. Maybe you can’t make me see stars.”
“I do love a challenge.”
“When does this challenge begin, soldier?”
“Right, the hell now.”
I get to my knees and unwrap her legs from my waist. I snap her jeans open and shove my hand inside. I skip her clit and go straight for her pussy. I plunge two fingers inside.
“You’re already wet for me.”
“Mm-hm.”
I begin to pump in and out of her. She arches her back in a silent plea for more. She’s gorgeous with her cheeks flushed and her pouty lips gaping open. But I want more.
“Lift up your sweater.”
She doesn’t hesitate to follow directions. She yanks her sweater up to reveal her black bra.
“Pull your tits out.”
She tugs the cups down to reveal her breasts.
“Play with yourself. Play with those pretty titties while I work this pussy.”
She begins to pluck at her nipples. “Oh god,” she moans .
I stop and her eyes fly open. “Not god. Caleb. You say my name when you come.”
Her walls flutter around my fingers. My shy girl loves it when I talk dirty. I bet it’s because her ‘romance’ novels are actually full of smut. Maybe I should have her act out some of those scenes. But in the meantime…
“Are you going to come for me, Bunny?”
She bobs her head. Not good enough. I want her wild and desperate to come. I increase the speed of my thrusts.
“Is your pussy going to squeeze my fingers?”
She moans.
“Are you going to soak my fingers?”
Her walls tighten around me.
“Remember to scream my name when you come.”
I grind my palm against her clit as I pound into her. Her mouth falls open and her head flies back as her orgasm strikes.
“Say. My. Name.”
“C-c-caleb.”
I slow my thrusts until her body collapses on the bed. I trace her mouth with my finger.
“Open up. I want you to taste yourself.”
Her eyes fly open. She hesitates for a moment before opening her mouth. I tap her lip with my fingers and she sucks on them.
“Like the sweetest honey,” I murmur.
“I bet you taste better.”
I frown. If she sucks me off, she won’t miss the scars on my leg. I’m not ready to show those to her yet .
“Next time,” I say.
She pouts. “You never let me touch you or taste you.”
I cover her with my body. “Did you not enjoy what we just did?”
“You know I did but I want more.”
I punch my hips into her stomach. “And you’ll get more.”
“Will you take off your clothes this time?”
I start to say no but stop. It’s not fair of me to keep this part of me secret. Not after Maya told me all of her secrets. And especially not after I made her promise to stop yearning for her parents’ love.
But I’m not ready. I need to make sure she’s so firmly attached to me, she won’t go running into the ocean to join the mermaids when she sees my skin. My scars are not a pretty sight.
“Please,” she pleas. “I want to see you.”
I give in. Sort of. “Shirt off. Pants on.”
She waggles her eyebrows. “But the pants are the best part.”
I grind my hard length into her stomach. “Don’t worry. You’ll get the best part.”
I crawl off of the bed. I stand at the end and remove her jeans and panties.
“Sweater and bra off.”
She whips both the garments off and now she’s completely bare to me. Millions and millions of miles of smooth skin to explore on her curvy body.
“Your turn.” She waves to my shirt.
I whip it off and she gasps .
“Wow. Good thing there aren’t any mermaids around or they’d steal you away from me with their siren song.”
She completely ignores the jagged scar across my pec. Did she not notice it? I study her face for clues. She’s biting her bottom lip while her wide eyes are glued to my chest. She really doesn’t care.
Maybe she won’t care about my leg. Maybe the scars and mottled skin won’t bother her. No. I can’t chance it. Not yet.
“Mermaids can’t live outside of the water,” I say instead.
She wags her finger at me. “You’re forgetting the legend of the mermaid.”
I grasp her ankle and yank her body to me. She yelps. “Do you want to discuss mermaids or do you want me to fuck you?”
She taps her chin and pretends to consider the question. “Um…”
I pinch her nipple and she moans. “Do I need to ask the question again?”
She shakes her head. “Nope. Fuck me. The answer is definitely fuck me.”
The sound of her saying fuck while naked on my bed causes my cock to twitch. Its patience is gone as is mine.
I unzip my jeans and take out my cock. I wrap her legs around my waist and notch my cock at her entrance. I inch inside. Her wet heat surrounds me and I moan.
“Fuck.”
Maya’s eyes fly open. “What’s wrong?”
“Condom. I need to get a condom. ”
“No need. I’m on the pill.” She bites her bottom lip. “Although, Nova got pregnant while she was on birth control, so maybe you don’t want to chance me getting pregnant.”
The image of her belly round with my baby flashes into my mind. I want it. I want her. I want children with her. A family. All of it. I want it all.
“I’m clean, too. I got a full medical work up when…”
When I was in the hospital recovering from being shot. I need to tell her about my injury. About the future. But not yet. Not until she’s addicted to me. Not until she can’t live without me. The way I can’t live without her.
Maya wiggles her ass. “What are you waiting for?”
For her to bitch about me keeping secrets. But when I gaze into her eyes, they’re not filled with questions or concerns. Only heat and warmth.
I sink into her. I’ve never been inside a woman without a condom before. Never wanted to before.
But since I’ve had Maya without one. We’re not going back.
This woman is mine and I’m going to give her babies someday.
