Knots’ kiss consumes me until I can no longer breathe, and I feel as though my soul is about to leave my body. He hasn’t even done anything but deepen the kiss and claim my tongue as his, but just his presence has lit my nerves on fire.
“I don’t think I’ll be able to stop,” Knots whispers against my lips, and it’s the best feeling in the world as I smile back.
“Who said I wanted you to?” I lick his bottom lip and rock against his dick, pulling a groan from him. Perfect. Wanting him right here and now, I shift my weight so I can take him.
No one said I was bright, because I forget where we’re at and the fact that we’re on a small bench. As I shift my weight, I topple us into the water with a splash. I come up sputtering and treading water and hear Knots' laughter.
“You look like a drowned cat.”
“I’ll scratch ya to death too,” I spit out as Knots easily pulls me into his arms. I finally fling my hair out of my face, and I glance up to catch Knots’ tender expression.
“I know you would,” he tells me. “That’s one of the reasons I love you.”
I’m completely at his mercy as his confession hits me.
“I love you too,” I whisper as I rub the stubble along his jaw before placing a light kiss on his lips.
He’s the only one who can touch the bottom of this pool out of the two of us, and even though I can swim, I feel as though my body is a lump of clay and I will sink without him.
His hand comes up to cup my jaw, and I melt against him.
He gently follows my chin up to my ear, pushing a stray hair behind my ear, and takes in my whole face before catching my eyes again.
“You have no idea how scared I was to lose you for good. Every moment on the Trail, the only thing I was scared of was not being able to hold you again or being the reason you didn’t smile.
” His thumb gently rubs against my mouth and pauses as my lips part, and his eyes sweep down to them before meeting my eyes once more.
“I could live a thousand lives on this plane, but they would be empty and meaningless without you.”
He gently pulls my chin towards him before claiming my lips in a steamy kiss.
His hand drifts down to my throat and lightly squeezes before traveling down my chest to pinch my nipple, making me moan against his mouth.
I love how he peppers light kisses along my sensitive neck, yet gives me the desired pain I crave with my foreplay.
As he continues to nip along my neck and fondle my breast, causing delicious goosebumps to pebble against my skin, he slowly moves us into more shallow waters.
As soon as my feet brush against the rocky floor, I push off the ground and climb my man, weaving my fingers into his wet hair and hanging on him like a damn barnacle.
I rub against him like a cat in heat, feeling his length harden against my core as both of us groan in anticipation.
“Knots, I need you,” I whine, rolling my hips against him and nibbling on his ear.
“Ah. Fuck.” He groans as his hands flex against my skin in a crushing grip. “Why do you push me to the edge?” he growls against my throat.
My head spins as I take in his intoxicating scent of cedar and almonds, before pulling him in for another deep kiss. Our tongues stroke each other as our bodies glide along together, causing a friction that demands immediate attention.
“I’m hoping to make you fall,” I admit as I reach down between us and start to stroke his firm cock.
“If I fall, then where does that leave you?” he counters, stopping my advancement as I try to impale myself on him.
“Falling with you,” I grind out, getting annoyed that he’s stopping me from a wham, bam, thank you orgasm.
“Rez,” he says, pulling me closer and allowing my legs to drop from his waist, trapping his cock between our stomachs.
He cups my jaw and looks deeply into my eyes.
“I’m not here to make you see stars, mark you with a bite, or give you endless orgasms. I’m here to give you my heart and make love to you. ”
His words leave me breathless until he grabs my hand and brings it to his lips to trail kisses down my skin, leaving goosebumps in his wake.
His kisses are electric, and as he claims my lips this time, his kiss is more sensual, and it makes me feel as though I’m the most precious gem in all the world.
He wraps my legs around his waist again and finally enters me slowly. Once he’s completely in, I can’t tell where one begins and the other ends.
Knots is the air I need. He makes me feel like I’m floating on cloud nine, but he also makes me feel anchored. We may have had our ups and downs, but I will be forever grateful that we were able to work through them.
Knots slowly rocks into me while looking into my eyes as if he never wants to let me go.
“You are so beautiful and shine brighter than any Angel flame,” he whispers before claiming my lips.
I always thought making love would be awkward, so I would take control, that way it could never go that direction. I didn’t do intimate feelings. But with Knots, he makes me want all those things and more. With his arms around me, I feel like I am in the safest place in the world.
I reach up to cup his face, staring into his brown eyes, and I notice the shine there.
“Thank you,” he whispers as he swivels his hips, making me catch my breath. “For giving me another chance to love you.”
I don’t answer him, at least not with words, anyway. I kiss him and let my feelings show. As he increases his thrusts, his hand reaches between us and finds my clit.
“I would be lost without you, Rez,” he tells me while kissing my neck. The pressure he adds along with his words of love brings me rushing to the edge, and I explode, causing Knots to follow behind me.
If making love is that powerful, why ain’t I doing this all the fucking time?
