Chapter 24
Mason
Charlotte feels like heaven…
She’s soft and wet and so fucking tight, she grips my cock like nothing I’ve ever felt before.
She stiffens, clearly in pain, and I still, allowing her time to adjust.
I’ve been telling her that this should be special. I meant the words. But special doesn’t even begin to describe what I feel in this moment. It’s pleasure, so much goodness. But the slow movement is a bit of torture too.
I lean in to kiss her again, trying to help her relax, which will in turn ease the pain. I wait until I feel her soften and then slowly, I sink into her again until I’m finally fully inside her, my cock buried in her folds.
Christ, it feels so good. It takes everything in me to hold still, to allow her to adjust as I gently ease back out and then slowly push back in.
She’s making these little noises that are either encouraging or discouraging depending on their tone, and I listen for them, adjusting as she needs.
I want her to know the truth…I will care for her.
On and on it goes, moving at this slow pace that is driving me mad with want. I can feel the tension building, my body dying to give her a few quick hard thrusts until I cum so hard, I go blind.
But I don’t. And I’m rewarded when her hips finally rise up to meet mine. That’s the moment I know…she’s enjoying it too.
And that’s all I need to keep the pace slow, to hold it steady as her body adjusts and then…enjoys.
It was the worth the wait.
One of her legs wraps around me, even as her pussy tightens on my cock, her breathy cry in my ear making my teeth grit as I squeeze my eyes shut. So good.
I pick up the tempo the slightest bit, my pelvic bone pushing against her clit in a way that has her crying out again and I know she’s getting close.
I’m shaking with the effort to last. But as much as I want the orgasm, I want hers more.
Her breathy cries fill my ears as she becomes so tight, she’s like a vice around my cock and I feel myself slipping, the orgasm overpowering my control.
A guttural cry rips from my throat and I’m cumming like I never have before. Like my insides are being turned out. It doesn’t sound good, but it feels amazing.
Charlotte lets out a long moan and then she breaks apart, her body shaking as we orgasm together, the moment so much more than I ever imagined it would be.
She sinks into the bed, and I sink on top of her, finding her mouth and kissing her over and over.
Her fingers slide down my back and then back up my neck, brushing the new set of scratches on my skin.
I feel the tug of pain and smile against her mouth. We both like a little bit of pain mixed in with our pleasure.
I hook her waist, settling her deeper into the bed as I wrap my body around hers.
I thread our fingers together and look at the ring nestled on her finger. “Are you wearing the sapphire too?”
She pulls her other hand out from under her, turning it so I can see the ring. Her eyes are closed but there is a small smile on her face. “I’ll miss them.”
My brow draws together as I study her face. She doesn’t look sad, maybe just wistful. Where does she think she’s going? Clearly, I haven’t been clear enough. “I don’t see why you would.”
She looks back at me, her sleepy eyes blinking. “What does that mean?”
“They are yours,” I answer, kissing her shoulder. “Everything I’ve given you is yours.” Even me. I’m yours too.
Something keeps me from saying the words out loud. She keeps talking about when she leaves…
I know I’ll fight for her to stay, but I don’t need to fight yet. She still needs me to keep her safe and I’ve got until this all ends to feel her out, decide upon the words, and share my feelings. It’s new for me and I’m still finding my way.
“Mason,” she whispers. “You can’t give these to me. They must have cost?—”
“Princess,” I push up on one elbow, my fingers sliding down her arm. “Nobody tells me what I can and can’t buy. That’s one of the perks of being me.”
A half smile tilts a corner of her mouth up. Her camera is still sitting on my nightstand and she reaches for it, lifting it up and turning it around.
“You’re going to take a selfie with a digital SLR?”
“Watch me,” she says as snaps several photos, lifting up a bit to kiss my cheek as the flash goes off again.
I look down at her, holding her gaze for a moment, the flash continuing to fill the room before I kiss her mouth. She’s taken several more pictures, but I’ve gotten used to her obsession with photography and I stopped worrying she’d share them days ago. Charlotte excels at privacy.
And if I’m honest, I love the pictures. Every one is beautiful, made even more so because they are us.
She stretches out to set the camera on the nightstand again, and I lean with her to kiss her spine at the small of her back.
Her hand reaches around me, stroking my ribs before she turns back to me.
She settles into my embrace, her eyes closing again, a sigh spills from her lips. “You really know how to wear a girl out.”
“Damn right I do,” I answer even as I pull the covers tighter over her body.
I feel her relaxing into sleep when from the kitchen, her phone chimes. And then it chimes again.
“Is that the phone I gave you?”
“Mmhmm,” she answers, her eyes remaining closed.
“Charlotte?”
“No,” she rouses a bit. “It’s my old phone.”
“Who would be texting you at this time of night?” Worry has me tensing, pushing up onto my elbow.
She looks at the clock. “Probably Kim. Her shift just ended. She said Gus has her working doubles.”
I relax back into the bed as I hear the phone a third time. “Insistent.”
“She’s pissed that she hasn’t heard from me in days. And I can’t exactly explain…”
That’s Charlotte. Discreet. I kiss her shoulder, wondering how one person could be so perfect for me.
“Call her tomorrow. You can tell her my name. I’m about to turn up the heat on anyone who might think about hurting you.”
Her legs tangle in mine. “Do I say we’re engaged?”
“Yes,” I answer, gathering her closer. “And then quit Rebel’s. You won’t be going back there.”
“I’d object to your bossiness but I agree,” she snuggles her face into my shoulder.
I smile again, brushing her hair back from her cheek as my fingers skim the velvet of her skin. “You love my bossiness.”
I can see she’s almost asleep, but I can’t get enough of her skin. I could make love to her again and again.
I’m not sure I’ll ever get enough.
“I loved your spanking.”
My cock goes instantly hard as I comb my fingers through her hair. But I don’t get a chance to answer as she drifts off to sleep.
Settling myself down, I hear the phone chime a fourth time.
For a friend who has been quiet, Kim is insistent tonight. I’ll have to have Kim over for dinner, so she stops worrying. Charlotte is important to me and that means so is Kim.
My eyes close too. It was a day.
But tomorrow, tomorrow was going to be better. At least that is the hope…
