Chapter Twenty-Three
CANDY
Hearing those three little words from Hollis lights me up like the Rockefeller Christmas tree. Well, that and the fact that he looks sexy as hell in his custom tux.
“We love you too, Hollis.” I barely get the words out before his mouth takes mine in a possessive but also somehow soft kiss. I’ll never get tired of having his mouth on mine, but tonight I need more than that. I want to belong to him in every way.
“You’re mine, Candy,” He breaks the kiss before kneeling down in front of me. His hands push up the skirt of my dress, exposing me to him. I swear he growls a little when my sexy white see-through panties with the little red sparkling bow on them come into view.
“Is this my present?” He trails his fingertip up from my calf to my inner thigh, tracing the edge of my panties. “Your panties are soaked for me.”
“Hollis.” My sex throbs in anticipation. I brace myself, putting my hands on his shoulders. It doesn’t take much for Hollis to get my body worked up. I know what he can do to it. He always gives me so much pleasure. That's all there has ever been with him.
“Patience, my precious girl. Good things come to those who wait.” I can feel the heat of his mouth through my panties.
I push my hips forward to get closer. I’m about to beg, but before I can he pulls my panties to the side and his mouth is on me. His hot, wet tongue works my clit, licking and sucking it, all his attention there.
He groans. The sounds vibrate through me, and he presses his mouth tighter against me. He greedily laps at the sensitive bud in a frenzy. I’m so on edge that the climax hits me instantly. The orgasm courses through my body, and my knees almost give out, but it’s not enough.
“Hollis, please, I need more,” I plead with him, the ache now somehow deeper inside.
I feel the stubble of his beard against my inner thighs as he places kisses on each of them before resurfacing. He slips the panties down my legs, and I step out of them, letting my heels drop too before he rises.
Hollis’s fingers go to the side of the dress, finding the zipper that is hidden away but not to Hollis. The man pays attention to every detail when it comes to me. I’m sure he felt it throughout the night.
The dress drops, pooling at my feet, leaving me completely naked in front of him. “This seems unfair,” I point out. He’s still got all his clothing on. I go for the buttons of his shirt. He lets me undo each one before pushing it off his shoulders.
“I love you, Candy, but I need inside of you.” I let out a small laugh as he strips off the rest of his clothes.
“What happened to ‘good things come to those who wait’?”
"We've waited long enough."
"We have." He lifts me easily off my feet to place me onto the bed. He comes down over me, nestling himself between my thighs.
"It's been hell to wait, but I wanted you completely free of everything. Nothing holding you back."
"You're the last thing that holds me back. If anything, you're my freedom." He has brought me back to life. I hadn’t noticed how much I’d been retreating into myself and doubting who I am. With Hollis, there is none of that. I’m free to be myself.
“You've done the same for me.”
I smile up at him, emotions overwhelming me.
Hollis leans down, taking my mouth before trailing kisses down the column of my neck. I can feel his hard cock pressing against my sex. I wiggle, trying to get him to give me what I want. I can feel him smile against me.
“It aches, Hollis.” I’m not above using his need to take care of me in every way against him to get what I want.
He positions his cock at my entrance. His eyes meet mine before he pushes the tip inside of me. My hips rise, welcoming him.
“Slowly.” That one word comes out strained as though it’s taking everything he has to remain in control. “You need to adjust to me. I don’t want to hurt you or the babies.” He’s always putting us first. It’s one of the many things I love about this man.
I reach up, my fingertips tracing the scar on his face.
I don’t want him to hold back anymore. He’s scared that he’ll hurt me, but I know he never will.
I’ll give him the small push to send him over the edge.
“Make me yours completely, Hollis. Share with me what no other will ever experience from either of us. Only each other.” Without any further hesitation, he gives me what I want.
His resolve falters in a way that I know only I can get him to do, and he thrusts fully into me. I let out a gasp at the sensation of him filling me completely, connecting us in an even deeper way, making us together and one. A rush of emotion and love makes tears sting at my eyes.
Hollis holds still, buried deep inside of me. “Hey.” One hand comes up to cup my cheek. His thumb strokes back and forth. “Are you okay?”
“Never better.” I lick my lips. “In fact, I’m perfect.” That’s how he makes me feel. I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin and more myself.
“Undoubtedly perfect.” He closes his eyes for a brief second. “And fuck, tight.” His gaze locks with mine. “You’re unbelievable.”
He feels pretty dang unbelievable too. It feels so incredible that I crave more. “Hollis—” I try to lift my hips, but he’s got me snugly pinned under him.
That realization makes my sex flutter around his cock, and I feel it jerk inside me. Hollis's body flexes, and I know he's fighting hard to keep himself still. “I’m good. So good,” I let him know. “I never told you not to move, honey.” My hands grip his shoulders.
Hollis gives a nod, his eyes staying locked with mine as he pulls out and slowly thrusts back inside of me. Always so gentle, when I know what this man is capable of. He’s destroying everything to keep me protected, but I don’t need to be protected from him.
"Yes," I moan, his thrusts steadily growing quicker. My hips start to move with him, welcoming him into my body. A new sensation starts to build inside of me, making my breath hitch as deeper, overwhelming pleasure grips inside of me.
I watch as everything he is feeling too plays out across his handsome face, and I know he can see mine. He leans down to take my mouth in a kiss, still thrusting in and out of me. That sweet, deep pleasure is building.
"So good." I can only nod, my lips parting, no words able to come out. His breathing too has grown choppy. "That's my precious girl. I need you with me."
"Always!" I cry out as the orgasm slams into me. This one is different from all the others. It instantly has me screaming out his name and a number of other things as my body arches off the bed. Hollis is growling as my sex flutters around his cock.
It pulsates inside of me. I can feel his release explode deep inside me. I swear it makes another bout of pleasure light up through me before my body melts back into the mattress.
The only other sound left in the room is our heavy breathing as we both try to catch our breath.
When I open my eyes, Hollis is staring down at me. All I can see is his love shining through. His lips tip in a half smirk.
“Did you say fuck?”
“What?” I scrunch my nose. Did I? I don’t think so.
“Pretty sure you did. There was a ‘fuck yes’ and a ‘holy hell.’”
“Oops.” I giggle. Hollis groans, and his cock jerks, still inside of me. My sex flutters around him. “I can’t stop it.” I laugh more.
“I kind of enjoyed that I could fill you with enough pleasure that you’d curse.”
“I guess we both bring out a side of each other that no one else gets to see.”
“I don’t know how I lived without you before. I know I sound like a sappy love fool, but it’s the truth.”
“I feel the same way.” My life is so full now. I don’t only have Hollis and the family we are growing but a whole town. I never thought I’d be so loved by so many people. “I know I want to have a wedding so people can come, but I don’t want to wait either.” He gives me a lopsided smile.
“You think this town can’t put on a wedding in less than a week if we wanted to?”
“Fair point.” I laugh. “In New Hope, anything is possible.”
“Then, a Christmas wedding it will be.”
I let out a small gasp. “I love that idea!” I tell him.
“Then, that’s what it will be.”
“That works actually because I had no clue what to get the man that has everything for Christmas.”
“Precious girl, it’s only because of you that I have everything.”
It’s him that has given me everything, and it’s why I’ll always give all of me to him.
