Twenty-Nine
Max’s body started to tremble at her words. She really felt the same as he did.
Max withdrew from her heat and swung her around. He looked into her eyes and saw that she was being honest about her feelings.
“Fuck, hellcat. I want all of that, too. I want forever with you, too.” Max told her, staring her down as he made his promises.
“I’m serious, Max. I want you. I was forever. You’re mine!”
Max picked her up into his arms after turning the water off in the shower. He carried her into the bedroom and laid her down on the bed.
He kisses his way down her jaw, to her chest, teasing and nipping her breasts until her nipples were hard peaks ready to cut glass. He kissed his way down her stomach to her already drenched pussy.
He used his tongue to tease her clit before teasing her core with his tongue, using his fingers. He devoured her, loving the sounds she made as he enjoyed her taste.
“Max!” Desiree moaned his name as her body started shaking from her pending orgasm.
“Come for me, hellcat. I want to feel your pussy flutter as I’m fucking you with my tongue.” Max ordered as he started all over again, with more demand in his movements.
Desiree gripped his hair and started riding his tongue. It was the hottest fucking thing he’s seen, ever.
When she screamed his name as she came, he lost all control. He jumped up to his knees, gripping her legs over his forearms as he thrust into her hard.
His control had snapped and all he could think about was pounding into her heat as he marked her the way she’d marked him. The only difference was that she marked his heart and soul.
“Fuck!” Max grunted as he thrust in and out hard.
Max let go of her legs and went down onto his forearms as he fused his lips with hers. He felt the tingle racing up his spine as he fucked into her like his life depended on it.
“Desiree…” Max groaned out as he came, tensing up.
When Desiree screamed his name as she came, his body slumped, both of their bodies shaking from the intensity of their orgasms. He rolled to the side and pulled her into his arms and held her as if his life depended on her, afraid she would slip away from him.
Max slipping into sleep, holding Desiree in his arms. His breathing slowed and his whole body relaxed.
Something he realized as he dozed off that he isn’t able to do unless she’s next to him. She was his calm in a raging storm.
Max woke up a couple of hours later as the sun started to set in the horizon. When he looked down, Desiree was still asleep in his arms, the same spot she’d fallen asleep in.
He slowly got out of bed, trying not to wake her up as he got up. He took care of business and then got dressed.
He went out to the back porch and started up the grill. While the grill was heating up, he seasoned the steaks, got the potatoes ready to go on the grill as well as the corn of the cob.
While he was tending to the steaks, he felt arms come around him. He grinned as he turned the steaks over before turning around to pull her back into his arms.
“Hey handsome. You left me along in bed, mister.”
“You were sleeping too good. I didn’t want to disturb you. Plus, nature called. I thought I’d start dinner so it would be ready when you woke up. Your glass of wine is in the fridge. The book you’ve been reading is over there on the table by the lounge chair.”
“Spoiling me, Mr. Blackwell?” Desiree grinned up at him as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Every day that ends in y for the rest of our fucking lives, hellcat.” Max leaned down to kiss her nose. “Now, get that sexy ass in that lounge chair and read your book. I’ll go grab your wine.”
The next two days were spent in each other’s arms. Whether they stayed in the house making love to each other all day or night, or they spent it on the beach, enjoying the sun, the waves and the sounds of the waves crashing onto the beach.
They both laughed at each other, they talked, they loved and repeated it again and again. When it came time to go home, back to Fayetteville, neither of them wanted to leave the paradise they had found.
“I hate that we have to leave in the morning. But Andrea needs our help with this case. I guess we have no choice but to return home.” Desiree sighed as she snuggled into Max’s arms.
“How about this, at least once a month, no matter the season, I’ll rent this cabin and we can come here for a weekend, or even a full week, to get away from everything. This could be our little paradise.” Max offered as he leaned down and kissed her shoulder.
“Too bad the owner doesn’t want to sell this place. It’s perfect. I guess I can see why they wouldn’t sell it.” Desiree sighed heavily as she looked around the room as best as she could. “Would be a perfect getaway for us. I guess renting it out would be the next best thing.”
Max couldn’t help the smile that broke out on his lips. If she only knew the plans he had where this place was concerned for her.
“I do have a question for you, hellcat.” Max leaned down to her ear and softly said.
“And what questions is that you have for me, Mr. Beast?” Desiree asked, pretending to be affronted by the nickname he’d given her.
Max let her go and rolled over on the bed to reach for drawer of the nightstand by his side of the bed. He grabbed something and then rolled back over and pulled her back into his arms.
“Well, technically I’m not asking because I’m never letting you get away from me again.” Max said as he nipped her ear and reached for her ring hand.
Max slid his grandmother’s vintage engagement ring onto Desiree’s hand and held it out for her to see. “The only thing I need to ask you is when are we getting married?”
