Chapter Fourteen
D ale bent to give Sadie a quick kiss before sliding off the bed and rapidly shedding the rest of his clothes. After placing his weapon on her nightstand, he returned to the foot of the bed.
Her gaze dropped to his throbbing erection, and when she licked her lips, his insides fisted with the need running rampant through him.
Swallowing a curse, he dug a condom from his discarded jeans, and when he swept his gaze over Sadie’s naked body, he promptly lost his breath.
She lifted up on her elbows and regarded him with a lazy, wicked, hungry gleam in her eyes. “I hope you have more than that.”
Heat ricocheted through his body. He smiled. “I do.”
On his way to get the pizza earlier, he’d stopped at a local pharmacy and bought a large box. Although he hadn’t intended to use any tonight, he had anticipated needing them in the near future with Sadie.
Thank goodness for his foresight.
Bending, he trailed kisses up her legs to her inner thighs, half of him wanting to rush to take care of his release, but the other half screaming for him to take it slow, enjoy their first time.
Dale opted for somewhere in between.
With anticipation ruling his accelerated pulse, he grasped her ankles and spread her legs. He forgot how to breathe or swallow as he stood there staring at her sweet body. She was a little taller than average but with amazing curves.
“Sadie, you’re so beautiful. So perfect.” His chest was tight, and it was crazy how his body ached with a fierce need to take her and make her his.
But slowly.
He bent down and brushed open mouth kisses up her leg again, wanting her with him, wanting her pent-up and panting his name again. The sound of her need had nearly been his undoing before. Yeah, he needed to get her there again.
Wedging his shoulders between her legs, he stared at utopia for a heart-stopping moment before brushing his mouth over her sensitive flesh.
She jerked and fell back on the bed.
“It’s okay,” he soothed. “I’ve got you.”
Then he set his palm on her belly to gently hold her in place before he put his mouth back on temptation and licked.
Sadie gasped, and her hands gripped his head but didn’t push him away. He took it as a sign to repeat the action.
So, he did, adding a twirl.
A sexy little mewl sounded in her throat, causing his dick to pulse. His body responded to this woman unlike any other woman before. With desire ruling his thoughts, Dale swirled his tongue a few more times, loving how Sadie’s lush body moved with his strokes and trembled with need.
Exactly where he wanted her.
When he drew back to grab the condom, she sat up, leaning on her elbows like before. Her gaze was dark with heat, devouring him while she licked her damn lips again.
She was killing him.
Before he could open the packet, Sadie pounced, shoving him onto his back with another of those hungry, wicked grins.
“My turn,” she muttered, and gently grasped his erection in her hand before taking the tip into her mouth to deliver some of her own tongue-swirling maneuvers.
His muttered curse echoed around them as he squeezed his eyes shut and gripped the damn comforter. Never could he have imagined how incredible her mouth would feel on him. His muscles bunched tightly as all his focus centered on the exquisite glide of her lips and wicked brush of her tongue.
“So damn good.” His neck and shoulders strained as he fought to hold on while she worked him in and out of her mouth. Opening his eyes, he met her triumphant, possessive gaze. A sharp, unexpected thrill gripped tight, knowing she enjoyed taking him to the edge.
Too damn close to that edge.
In a swift move, he grasped her shoulders and pulled out his throbbing arousal before he flipped her onto her back and smiled at her protest.
“Sorry, baby. Not this time.”
She smiled back. “How about a raincheck then?”
Oh, hell yeah.
“Absolutely,” he replied. “You can put your mouth on me all you want, but not now. Not our first time.” Before he could change his mind, Dale ripped open the condom and rolled it on.
“Roger that,” she murmured, and a wicked grin curved her sweet mouth as she spread her legs in an open invitation. “I’m all yours.”
His insides fisted tight again, and he nearly lost it.
She was saying and doing all the things he never knew he wanted.
He dipped down to kiss her, loving the feel of her nipples scraping his skin and how she cupped his face and thrust her tongue inside his mouth. As usual, the kiss got out of control in record time, and his craving to be inside her shook through him.
Dale broke the kiss and positioned himself between her legs, and with his gaze glued to hers, he pushed in with the tip.
Their gasps of pleasure mixed and echoed through the room. His focus returned to sweet Sadie and the fierce hunger in her gaze. She moaned and clutched his hips as he slid all the way inside.
“So good,” he muttered, working to catch his breath. “I knew you’d feel amazing, Sadie.”
But damn, he didn’t think she’d feel this great.
The heat and need evoked from the women in his past paled in comparison to the raw, pure pleasure burning him from the inside out right now.
“I knew you would, too.” She smiled, her gaze half closed with desire.
Unable to remain still, Dale began to move, and he lost all coherent thought. Only the slide of their bodies, their need, and pleasure mattered. He set them on the fast train, building up steam to reach that blissful edge.
God, she was addicting.
Consumed by the raw, primal need she awoke within him, Dale felt Sadie in the blood roaring through his ears, the heavy thudding of her heart as it beat wildly beneath him, the unrivaled heat scorching his veins as he thrust in and out of her sweet body.
Dipping down, he captured her mouth, kissing her franticly and deeply, sliding his tongue against hers as he upped their pace. He wanted to prolong their first time—tried like hell to hang on, to savor every sensation for as long as possible—but it was too extraordinary. Too good. Too right.
So, when Sadie broke the kiss and cried out his name as she tightened around him, Dale thrust one long, last deep plunge and came with a release so strong, it stole every last ounce of his strength.
He collapsed on top of her, breathing heavily against her shoulder as he worked to regain enough energy to roll his ass off and not crush the incredible woman. But he was too enthralled to move. Her body was still quivering with aftershocks that kept gripping him with intoxicating little grasps.
God, he’d never felt anything so damn perfect.
Managing to draw on fledgling reserves, he kissed her shoulder before lifting up to stare down into her beautiful, flushed face.
“You okay?” He hoped he hadn’t hurt her or scared her with his unexpected, out-of-control need.
She smiled a beautiful, languid smile and reached up to trace his jaw, her gaze warm and satiated. “Better than okay,” she answered. “Like I said, I knew we’d be good together, but holy wow, Dale…when can we do that again?”
***
S treaks of sun spliced through a crack in the blinds in Sadie’s room, highlighting the sexy curve of her shoulder of her soft, naked body, currently draped over Dale’s after a night of mind-blowing sex. Dale knew it was probably a bad idea to stay in her bed until morning. He would no doubt be more vigilant downstairs on the couch with his body far removed from her hot curves.
Although, it was highly probable his mind would be on them anyway.
And then he would’ve missed out on blowing through two more condoms during the night, the last one in the shower where he’d taken her against the tile before they’d returned to her bed and exhaustion had claimed them.
Dale had fallen asleep with the sweet woman and her gorgeous body in his arms, and he’d never felt more content in his life. She belonged with him. He understood that now. And he belonged with her. All these years apart had only strengthened his attraction for the beauty.
Sadie’s smile and upbeat attitude, along with her touch and hot kisses, her sweet sighs and sexy moans, sparked feelings and responses in Dale that scared the hell out of him, but also intensified his protectiveness. No way would he let her get hurt.
Becoming physically involved with the sweet woman was no doubt stupid, but he’d been too weak to resist the connection sizzling between them.
“Mmm…” Her warm breath washed over him and her hold on his hip tightened. “You’re still up here.”
Smiling, he rolled her onto her back, pleased to find need traveling through that sleepy, sexy brown gaze of hers. “I didn’t want you to get cold.”
Her smile grew as wicked as the hand gliding closer to where he ached for her touch. “It’s probably over ninety degrees out already. But Mother Nature ain’t got nothing on us,” she said, wrapping her fingers around his burgeoning length.
“True,” he choked out, dipping down to nibble her neck and bite the soft spot on her neck that made her squirm and grip him tighter.
Her gorgeous breasts brushed his chest, and he groaned as her beaded nipples scraped his skin. So exquisite.
He was about to take one of the beauties into his mouth when the muffled ringtone of the phone in his jeans on the floor, resonated through the room.
Damn.
Reluctantly, Dale drew back, then rolled off the bed to fish his cell from his pocket. One glance at the caller ID had him muttering a thankful oath.
It was Caspian.
