Page 18 of Mistletoe and Holly

His breath caught for a second, and then he gave me a kiss so passionate that I swore I might combust as he slowly started to rock in and out of me. I rolled my hips in time with his thrusts as I glided my fingers down his back to his ass, kneading softly as I tried to take him deeper.

“God, Holl,” he breathed. “Fuck, you feel like heaven. So tight. So warm. So goddamn perfect.”

“So do you,” I said as I grazed my teeth over his collarbone. “So deep. I feel so full. Give me more.”

He let out a quiet groan as he picked up his pace and folded one of my legs against my chest.

“Fuck, just like that,” I gritted out as I planted my other leg on the bed and raised my hips to meet him thrust for thrust, grinding my clit against his pelvis. “Oh, shit, baby.”

His lips crashed back onto mine, kissing me hard and deep. “Call me ‘baby’ again.”

I smiled and gripped his shoulder tighter for leverage so I could raise up to kiss his neck.

“Baby.”

I nipped at the skin over his pulse point before swiping my tongue over the area and sucking.

“Baby.”

Shephard slid his hand between us and started to rub my clit furiously as his thrusts grew more erratic and frantic.

“Gonna come, sweetheart. You there with me?” he rasped.

“So close,” I moaned. “I need it harder, baby. Fuck me harder.”

He gave me exactly what I’d asked for, plunging deep inside me to the hilt and bottoming out with every thrust. And within less than a minute, I was clenching around him as stars blinded my vision.

“Shep, fuck,” I groaned.

“Shit, Holly.” He kissed me fiercely as he plunged deep one last time, his cock pulsing as he came undone with me.

CHAPTER10

SHEPHARD

Once I managedto make my limbs move again, I grabbed Holly’s leg and rolled onto my back, pulling her with me so she was splayed across me. I could feel the rise and fall of her chest as her breathing evened out, and I trailed my fingers up and down her back as I pressed my lips to her hair.

My mind was still racing, trying to process everything that had happened in the past half-hour. But despite that, I’d never felt the sense of peace, belonging, and completeness that was currently permeating every fiber of my being. I’d already known that Holly and Harper were home to me, but now that there were no barriers or masks between us anymore, I felt it more than ever before.

Despite that, though, I still couldn’t silence the nagging voice in the back of my head. The one that told me maybe we’d taken this too fast. That maybe, despite her constant reassurances that she was okay, now that the fog had lifted, she’d regret this, or at least let her mind spiral down a rabbit hole of emotions and doubts about being intimate with someone who wasn’t Owen.

Holly’s lips brushed over the center of my chest, above my heart, and I smiled as I combed my fingers through her hair and lifted my head to look at her.

“Penny for your thoughts?” I asked.

She chuckled quietly. “I don’t know how to explain them. They’re not very coherent.”

“In a good way or a bad way?”

Shimmying slightly up my body, she gave me a soft kiss, and, unable to stop myself, I buried my fingers in her chestnut locks, parted my lips, and slid my tongue out, asking for entrance. As the kiss deepened and I drank down the cute as fuck little whimpers and moans rising in her throat, I felt my cock start to stir back to life.

But I needed to talk to her, make sure she really was okay, before I let myself start thinking with my other head again. So, using a kind of strength I never knew I possessed, I pulled back and looked into the warm brown depths I loved so much, feeling like I was staring all the way into her soul.

“Sweetheart, at the risk of ruining the sheer perfection of this moment, I need to ask. Are you okay? Really? I didn’t expect this tonight, and I’m pretty sure you didn’t either. I just need to know—”

Holly cut me off with another kiss, one so full of fire and passion that it could have turned all ten acres of this property into a blazing inferno.

“I’m perfect, baby. I promise.”
