Chapter 24
––––––––
HARRISON STILLED BEHIND her, and she heard his sharp intake of breath.
His scent and strength surrounded her, and Luciana felt a thrill shoot right through her.
She felt safe in his arms but also flushed at his nearness.
He wrapped his muscled arms around her, holding her to him, and kissed the top of her head.
She shivered, and Harrison kissed her again, his lips this time brushing against her temple.
“What’s that scent?” he asked, his voice husky.
“Freesia.”
He moved lower, his mouth at her neck.
“It makes me want to run my lips all over you,” he murmured.
“Si,” she said, warmth flooding through her. “Do that, please.”
He chuckled, but then he was lifting her, Harrison surprisingly strong. He positioned her so that she straddled him, her legs spread over his muscled thighs. His hands cupped her face as he tilted her head back, and then he kissed her thoroughly, stealing her thoughts and her breath.
Harrison had been holding back on her. He kissed her like she was his.
One big hand slid to the back of her head, tangling in her hair, the other sliding down the side of her neck.
It was commanding and sexy, but Luciana had never felt so safe.
He paused for a beat, letting her catch a breath, and his thumb ran over her lips.
“I’ve been wanting to kiss you all week,” he said, his voice gravel.
“I wanted that, too,” she admitted, her voice breathless.
He leaned in again, his kiss slow but more thorough.
Luciana opened to him, letting Harrison explore her mouth.
His tongue slid inside, and she felt consumed by him—lost to his kiss, his taste, his touch.
His tongue lightly pulsed in and out, and then one big hand slid down her side, his fingers grazing the side of her breast.
She whimpered and pressed closer, clinging to him like he was the only thing anchoring her to the ground. Luciana could feel his erection beneath her core, but it didn’t frighten her. She lightly bucked against him, letting him know what she wanted.
Growling, Harrison leaned them both over, lying Luciana back on the blanket as his big arms caged her in. “We should stop,” he muttered, but he kissed and nuzzled at her neck.
“No. Do not stop.”
“I want to do right by you,” he admitted. “You’ve been through a lot and shouldn’t rush into anything.”
“And maybe I know myself best,” she replied, resting her palm against one of his cheeks as he gazed into her eyes. “Maybe I want to feel something real and good for a change.”
He huffed out a quiet breath, and she could see him nearly shaking with restraint. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You’d never hurt me,” she said vehemently. “Now kiss me again before I have my wicked way with you.”
He shook his head in disbelief, the corner of his mouth quirking up, then gazed down at her with affection in his eyes.
“I know you’d be the death of me.” But then he sealed his mouth over hers, ending all discussion on the matter.
His big hands slid over her, kneading, caressing, teasing her into a frenzy.
He palmed one of her breasts, his thumb sliding back and forth over her nipple.
She gasped, and he surprised her, ducking down and tonguing her nipple through her thin cotton shirt.
Luciana cried out in surprise, thankful the beach they were on was secluded.
Not that Harrison would ever let someone else see her like this.
He was far to protective to ever allow that.
She whimpered as he continued to mouth her breast through the material, leaving her longing for more.
He finally shifted, his big hands gripping the bottom of her shirt and pushing it up over her bare breasts.
She was thankful she hadn’t bothered with a bra tonight.
There was something erotic and arousing about lying on the beach blanket, her tee shirt pushed up, breasts bare for Harrison to see.
His stubble brushed over her sensitive skin as he lowered his head again, and his sexy pine scent washed over her.
He was big and broad and in complete control, yet he still managed to be so careful with her.
She wanted to explode from the pure joy she felt.
Sex with any of her ex-boyfriends had mostly been about their pleasure.
They’d rush to the main event, not necessarily caring if she was enjoying herself or not.
Harrison paid close attention to what she liked, both skilled and attentive.
He was still fully dressed but his attention was one-hundred-percent on her.
He sucked one nipple between his lips, his tongue teasing her relentlessly. Luciana cried out beneath him, and she felt his smile of approval against her skin.
“You’re sensitive,” he said, lifting his head slightly to gaze down at her.
He trailed one fingertip around her areola, smiling as she let out a tiny gasp.
“Sensitive and sweet and all mine.” He lowered his mouth again, sucking and teasing first one nipple and then the other.
She shivered at the ocean air washing over her bare skin, her breasts wet from his attention.
“Harrison,” she pleaded.
“What do you need, baby?”
He lightly nipped at her, swiping her skin with his tongue to soothe the sting.
Luciana arched up into his touch, suddenly feeling needy and desperate. “You,” she panted. “I need you. Please.”
He looked up, his eyes filled with heat. Hunger. “I can take you home,” he said. “Bring you to my bedroom. Make love to you slowly and thoroughly explore this gorgeous body.”
“No. Here. I need you right now.”
He studied her a beat but nodded, rising to his knees to pull his wallet free. Harrison towered above her from this position, and she could see his erection pressing against his shorts. She reached for her own waistband, and he growled. “No. I want to undress you.”
She flushed but watched as he tossed both the foil packet and wallet onto the blanket, ducking to kiss her stomach. His fingers edged beneath the waistband of her shorts, and he tugged both her panties and shorts down. “You’re bare,” he said appreciatively as he gazed at her sex, his voice thick.
“Si.”
“I love how sensitive that’ll make you,” he said, ducking to brush his mouth over her pussy lips. She trembled as he spread her legs, and he paused, his gaze locking with her own.
“I am okay,” she promised. “Just nervous. You’re right...there.”
He shot her a lazy grin. “No place else I’d rather be,” he assured her, spreading her legs apart.
Harrison lifted them over his broad shoulders, leaving her exposed to him.
She felt her pussy pulsing with heat, already drenched with arousal.
Harrison swiped his tongue up her slit, and then he spread her lower lips apart with his thumbs.
“I love how wet you already are for me,” he said, his voice husky. “Let me take care of you.”
Luciana lost all logical thought as he swiped his tongue through her folds.
He groaned with approval, and then he was teasing and tasting her.
Feasting on her swollen sex. Harrison was a skilled lover.
He ate her out like he’d never get enough, exploring every fold, using both his tongue and lips.
Luciana moaned as he finally trailed his tongue higher, his lips closing over her swollen clit.
Harrison suckled her as she moaned with pleasure.
She was dripping with arousal, flushed and panting, and her man was acting like she was the most delicious thing he’d ever tasted.
Harrison reached below her, palming her ass, and lifted her even closer to his face.
She squealed in surprise, and then he devoured her, licking her mercilessly, and teasing her throbbing clit until waves of pleasure took her under.
Luciana felt white hot ecstasy pulse through her.
Her legs were spread wide over his broad shoulders, her pussy right in his face, and she was helpless to his attention.
Harrison focused all of his efforts on her tiny bud, never letting up, and she cried out Harrison’s name as she finally exploded.
He brought her down slowly, kissing her still pulsing sex and gently easing her back to the blanket.
He planted a trail of lazy kisses across her belly until Luciana reached for him, and he prowled up her body, kissing her hard.
She tasted herself on his mouth and clung to him as she caught her breath, her body limp and mind senseless with pleasure.
“I love watching you come for me,” he said, his voice possessive and hot.
“Make love to me, Harrison.”
He rolled off her and stood, quickly shoving down his shorts and boxers. His erection sprang free, and Luciana giggled. “He’s eager.”
Harrison shot her a look. “You have no idea.”
She only laughed more, and he pounced, kissing her hard. “You still have your shirt on,” she protested.
He raised an eyebrow. “So do you. But if anyone comes near us, I can quickly cover you with it.”
“So protective,” she teased.
“I will protect you,” he agreed. She was shocked at the sudden seriousness in his gaze, feeling flustered.
It didn’t feel like he just meant physically.
Sure, he was a strong, skilled Navy SEAL commander, but she got the feeling he wanted to protect her heart, too.
“We haven’t known each other long, Luciana, but I’m old enough to know when it’s right.
I want you. But I’ll only make love to you right now if you’re sure you want this, too. ”
“I’m sure,” she said, tugging his head down for a kiss.
Harrison’s erection bobbed between them, and he was right—she was extra sensitive being bare down below.
He was thick and hard, but she was slick with arousal, eager and ready for him to take her.
She wrapped her hand around his erection, sliding her thumb over the head as he let out a guttural sound.
“Condom. You have me so worked up I’m not going to hold out if you keep touching me like that.”
“Si. Then we better sheathe your soldier,” she joked. “I want to feel you inside me.”
“Yes, ma’am,” he quipped, but he kissed her slow and deep, taking his time and letting her know he was still the one in complete control.
When he entered her moments later, she gasped.
Nothing had ever felt more right than Harrison’s body moving above her own, his thick cock filling her completely.
He paused a moment, letting her get used to his size, and then he was moving.
Thrusting. Making her his. Luciana clung to him, gasping each time the base of his erection rubbed against her clit. “You feel so good,” she moaned.
He grunted and took her faster, harder, until little shocks of pleasure began to overtake her once more. She wrapped her legs around him and scratched her nails down his muscled back as she cried out. She was helpless, lost to him, and nearly ready to come for a second time.
“Come for me again,” he told her. “I want to feel you squeezing me tight. Come on my cock, baby girl.”
She flushed at his words, her pussy clenching around his throbbing erection. He lowered his mouth to her ear, murmuring more words of encouragement, and then Luciana screamed as her orgasm slammed into her out of nowhere, her pussy pulsing as pleasure overtook her once more.
Harrison let out a guttural cry, clearly holding back until she’d come, and released, her name on his lips.
They were both panting and covered in a fine sheen of sweat when they’d finally finished, Harrison pulling the blanket half over them in case anyone happened upon the isolated section of the beach.
Luciana cupped his face in her hands and kissed him tenderly, seeing nothing but love and affection in his eyes.
He was still inside her, half-hard, and she felt like her entire world had shifted once more.
As they finally broke off their kiss, Harrison was looking at her with something akin to wonder.
He brushed back a piece of her hair, kissing her forehead, her eyelids, and her mouth.
“I’m going to take you home,” he murmured, “and then I’m going to make love to you all night. ”
