Chapter 17 #3
“And I didn’t have to do anything. I wanted to.
I want to take care of you. Just for right now.
” I pressed gently at his shoulders, so he went flat against the bed, then I finished unbuckling his belt, took it off, then slid down his jeans and briefs.
I checked for wounds. There weren’t any.
The only thing that looked to be hurting was his cock—it was all red and swollen.
I bit the inside of my cheek so I wouldn’t laugh.
Rule number one, never laugh at your man’s dick.
I stood up and tossed his clothes to the end of the bed.
“Now, you,” he whispered.
I liked how desperate he sounded. We were well-matched. I didn’t make him wait. I pulled off my clothes in short order. I wanted to be skin-to-skin as badly as he did.
He moved so that he sprawled across the bed and started pulling me down against him. “Katherine, you’re so beautiful. I can’t believe you’re here with me, and not with some Instagram star or something.”
“Influencer. They’re called Instagram Influencers. Most of them have the attention spans of a gnat, and I’m a decade too old for them to notice.”
“I can’t believe any man wouldn’t notice you.” Code cupped my breast and guided me higher so that my nipple was aligned with his lips. I waited, suspended on a tightrope of need. He caressed his thumb over the tip of my breast, and I whined in protest. “I want your mouth.”
He grinned. “Ask for it nicely.”
Oh, hell no.
I pulled out of his arms, careful not to jostle his ribs, but still strong enough to show that I was running this party.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“Whatever the hell I want. I didn’t feel like asking nicely, but maybe you will.” I curled my fist around his cock, then slid the tip of my tongue from base to tip.
“Damn,” he wheezed out the word.
I followed that same trail with a long, slow trickle of breath, and he shuddered under me.
“Jesus, Katherine.”
I licked him again, this time even slower, then followed it up again by blowing against his heated flesh. He garbled out my name. The next time I did it, I made sure to spend extra time tonguing that spot right under the head of his cock, the spot with all those lovely nerve-endings.
“God!”
I grinned, then targeted warm air against that spot until he jerked underneath me.
“Code! Be careful. Don’t hurt yourself!”
“Are you fucking kidding me? You’re the one who’s doing the torturing, I can’t help my body’s response.”
I looked up at his flushed face. “What do you want, Code? Do you want my mouth?”
“Fuck yeah.”
“Then ask nicely.”
He shouted out a laugh as he wheezed out words. “Please, my beautiful Katherine, will you please suck my cock? Pretty please?”
Now I was laughing. I licked upwards once again until my laughter was under control, then I sucked the head of his cock into my mouth. We both groaned with pleasure. The smooth, warm, pulsating feel of him in my mouth had me breaking out in shivers.
I circled my tongue around his flesh, then sucked him deeper, greedy for more of his taste, of his heat, of him.
For a long time, I just continued to do what felt good, and that was lingering over the sensation of him in my mouth, with my eyes closed.
The taste that was all Code took me out of myself and left me feeling euphoric, knowing I was pleasing both of us.
Then I felt his fingers in my hair, tugging me away. He groaned. My eyes flashed open, and I saw him struggling to sit up, which was forbidden. I released my treat.
“Not so fast, Mr. Army.”
“That’s Lieutenant Colonel to you,” he rasped out. His fingers were caressing my scalp, and I arched into the touch. “I want to taste you. Scoot up.”
Scooting up was my plan. “If you lie back, I will.”
He paused, eyeing me with suspicion, then he did as I asked.
I crawled back up his injured body, taking care not to jostle him.
I positioned his cock at the well of my hungry vagina and slid down, taking him in one long plunge.
I couldn’t discern the difference between our sighs of pleasure.
He clamped his hands on my hips and started to arch up. I quickly pulled off him.
“That’s not how this works. You move, and no nooky.”
He eyed me. “You’re kidding, right?”
“Nope.”
“Seems to me that’s a double-edged sword. You’re denying yourself as much as you are me.” His hand moved to the top of my sex, his index finger brushed over my engorged clit.
“I’ll survive.”
Barely.
“You like it when I move,” he gritted out the words.
I slumped down, my hands on either side of his chest so I didn’t place any weight on his injured chest. I looked him dead in the eye. “I want this. I need this. But I won’t make love to you if it hurts you, Code. You’re too precious to me.”
I could see my words land. His throat worked as he swallowed deep. “Precious, huh?”
“I know when I’ve found treasure, and I intend to cherish you whether you like it or not.”
He looked away, then looked back.
“You’ve got this all wrong, Katherine. I’m the lucky one.”
I leaned down and met his lips with mine, a soft kiss where I tried to pour all that I was feeling into this one gentle caress. He cupped my cheek, and I felt his love returned a thousand-fold.
I slowly slid myself down onto his engorged flesh again, glorying in the feel of him filling me up. He didn’t move his hips. He knew how important it was for me to care for him. Our tongues tangled as I continued to move up and down on his cock, squeezing on every downward push.
I felt myself shiver, and Code trembled beneath me. Our lips parted, and he traced kisses along my jaw, behind my ear, biting my lobe.
“I’m so close,” I whispered.
He wrapped his arms around me as I pressed my hands into the mattress, forcing myself to stay up. “Fly, Katherine. Fly with me.”
My body quivered, and I squeezed his hips with my knees as I came closer and closer, then finally I choked out his name. Shudders turned into continuous waves as I felt him release inside me. He drove me even higher, longer, into a universe I’d never been to before.
Hours, or seconds, or minutes passed by as my arms turned to noodles and I had to roll away from the only soul in my world. Now, I just needed to figure out a way to keep him safe.
