Page 55 of Saving You

I turn to Charlie who has an excited look on her face as she stares up at me. “You really want to go, don’t you, Baby Girl?”

She nods and does her excited toe-jumping.

“Okay, but be a good girl for your Aunt Liv and Uncle Josh, and you can always call me if you need me to come pick you up.”

“I won’t, Mommy, and I’ll be super good! I promise!”

I pull her into a hug and hold her tight before she gets her shoes on and leaves with Liv and Josh. Everyone shuffles out behind them, leaving just Caleb and me. He’s staring at me with a look so intense the air crackles around us.

He takes a step towards me, and my breath catches. I can smell him. His cologne intoxicates me. He continues to advance on me, and I slowly back into the wall. When he’s standing toe to toe with me, his hand comes up to my hair, gripping it tightly at the base of my skull, and I just may melt into a puddle at his feet.

“Do you know how hard it was to contain myself in there? The pretty pink that covered your cheeks reminded me of watching you come in the tub.”

I squeeze my thighs together and whimper as his nose runs along the length of my neck. He nips at the sensitive skin.

“We’re alone,” he whispers against my neck, making goosebumps erupt over my entire body. “I plan to use this time to make you scream my name.”

I squeeze my thighs so tightly my muscles strain as he nips at my neck before licking the sting away.

I arch my neck to the side, granting him more room, and he takes it, trailing his lips up to my jawline before they’re on mine. He kisses me with an urgency that I reciprocate. He lifts me by my thighs, and I wrap my legs around his waist. He presses me between him and the wall as he devours my mouth. I nip at his bottom lip, causing him to groan as he rolls his erection into my centre. My legs tighten around him, trying to draw him closer.

He pulls us away from the wall and climbs the stairs and heads into his room, his lips staying on mine as he does. He turns the lights on before lowering me to the ground and taking a step back, his eyes tracing my entire body.

“Strip.”

I go rigid at the command. The last person to see me naked was Derek, and near the end, I only took my clothes off with the lights off. After having Charlie, Derek only said nasty things about my body. He pointed out the stretch marks on my stomach and breasts, the extra skin that was now around my waist, and the fact that my breasts weren’t as perky as they once were.

I wrap my arms around my middle, dropping my eyes from Caleb’s.

“Can you turn the lights off?” I ask, almost in a whisper.

I watch his feet as he draws closer. His fingers come below my chin, and he lifts my head, forcing me to make eye contact.

“Bailey, I want to see every inch of your body. I want to enjoy all of it. So, we are going to keep the lights on and you’re going to strip for me.”

My arms tighten around my middle. “Caleb, I don’t look like the women you’re probably used to.”

His grip on my chin tightens. “Bailey, I don’t ever want you to mention another woman when we’re like this. I want you. I want to see you. Do you want this?”

I nod.

“Then you can either strip for me, or I’m going to tie you to the bed and rip your clothes off so I can feast on you. Your choice.”

His eyes are filled with determination, and I know he’s not lying. If I don’t do as he’s said, he’ll do it for me. I take a step back and lift my shirt over my head, dropping it to the floor beside me. Avoiding eye contact, I undo the button of my jeans and work them down my hips before stepping out of them. I’m now standing in front of this gorgeous man in only a black lace bra and a pair of matching panties.

CHAPTER 20

Caleb

My eyes take in Bailey and her beautiful skin as she stands before me in nothing but a lace bra and panties. Her tits are perfect, just over a handful, and she has hips that are perfect for holding onto as I take her from behind. Hesitance fills her face and body language as her eyes avoid me and she attempts to cover her stomach.

“Everything. I want it all off,” I say.

She reaches behind her back and undoes her bra, sliding it down her arms and dropping it with the rest of her clothes before she does the same with her panties. I watch each of her movements, enraptured by her. When she’s completely naked, I walk up to her and kiss her, enjoying her taste. I move my lips along her jaw and neck, continuing to move down her chest until I capture a nipple in my mouth. I flick my tongue over the hardened bud, and she moans as her hand comes to my hair. Her grip is tight as my tongue plays with her nipple. I kiss across to her other breast, teasing her the same way.

My teeth scrape over her nipple as I release it and drop to my knees, kissing down her stomach as I go. I lick across each of her beautiful stretch marks, nipping my way to the apex of her thighs. I smell her arousal and groan, wanting a taste,but needing to tease her first. I continue licking and nipping across her stomach, hip to hip, and the top of each thigh. Her grip tightens on my hair, and she mewls at each of my movements over her sensitive skin.

When I finally decide I’ve built her up enough, I help her spread her legs and kiss up her thighs and lick her from entrance to clit. She bucks into my face, and I grip her thigh, throwing her leg over my shoulder for better access. Her flavour erupts on my tongue, and I groan around her clit. She arches, calling my name as I continue to use my tongue. I add a finger, slowly circling her entrance, teasing her.
