Page 39 of Cherishing Happily Ever After

It took Travis a moment to take in the perfection of the woman in front of him. His cock thickened in his pants, straining against his zipper.

“Well?” Steph prompted. “Do you think you can—”

“You’re so fucking gorgeous, Stephanie. I…” He shook his head and took a step back so he could properly admire her beauty. Her nostrils flared, and her pupils darkened under his careful examination.

“You didn’t answer my question,” she said. “You don’t think you’re up for the challenge?”

“Of keeping your attention?” He grinned. “Oh, I don’t doubt that for a second.”

He moved quickly then, accepting the challenge and everything wonderful that would come with it. She was so tiny, he lifted her easily and placed her on the counter, right next to the box full of sweet confections that had nothing on the sweet sugar of the woman in front of him. Travis slipped her tiny silky shorts down, until she was bare on the counter.Perfect.

He needed to taste her, to have her, to be inside her. He needed all the things and he needed them all at once. Still, he forced himself to slow down. Moving between her legs, he held her face in his hands and kissed her deeply, taking his time. When he pulled away, she was breathless, her chest heaving.

Gorgeous.

Travis let his hands slide down her curves to rest on her thighs. “Lean back.”

She tilted her head in question, but he simply raised an eyebrow and waited. She leaned back on her elbows and he smiled before dipping his head between her legs. His hands gripped her tight as he placed kisses on each thigh, moving closer to her core with each kiss until she was squirming beneath him. He tightened his grip on her as, finally, he ran his tongue along her center, to her sensitive bud.

“Oh! Travis. I…oh…”

He smiled against her as he increased the intensity of his attentions, kissing and sucking her sweetness. He was relentless until he felt her stiffen ever so slightly for a moment before her sweet release. She cried out her orgasm and shuddered around him.

When she finally lifted up off her elbows, he was waiting and watching. “Well,” he said with a smile. “How was that for keeping your attention?”

Stephanie couldn’t formulate a coherent thought if her life depended on it. Never before had she come apart so quickly and completely in an orgasm that left her both satisfied and wanting a whole lot more at the same time. “I think you definitely have my attention,” she finally managed to say.

The way his lips twitched up into a sly smile was probably the sexiest thing she’d ever seen. But then again, everything with Travis was ridiculously sexy, including but not limited to what he’d just done with his tongue.

“Good.” He lifted her from the counter, and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her through the cabin to her bed. “Because,” he deposited her on the mattress, “I’m nowhere near done with you yet.”

His words were a promise that sent a fresh round of desire through her.

She watched with hunger in her eyes and in her heart as he pulled his jeans down and tugged them off, leaving him gloriously naked in front of her. He was the most beautiful man she’d ever seen. His body was sculpted in the way that only a lifetime of physical labor could create.

He pulled a condom from his pocket and sheathed his long, hard cock before climbing up onto the bed with her.

He looked down from where he had her caged in his arms. “We’re doing this?”

Steph inhaled sharply and nodded. “We better be doing this, because I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to being only friends after what just happened.”

Travis balanced on one hand and slid the other down her body until he found her sensitive throbbing center that he’d left very, very wet from his earlier attentions.

She sucked in a breath as he teased her clit.

“Oh…yes,” he said with a cocky grin. “There’s no going back.”

She nodded. “Good. Because this is way more fun than just friends.”

His grin grew wider. “Oh, baby.” He pressed a trail of kisses up from her abdomen, between her breasts and finally to her lips. “Didn’t you hear me when I told you that was never going to happen? I want all of you.”

She shuddered.Was it from his kisses, his words, or what was about to happen? Or all of the above?

“Nothing casual.” She repeated his words back to him.

Travis’s lips twitched up at the corner. “You got that right, babe.” He bent and kissed her, sucking her bottom lip between his teeth and tugging a little before letting it go. “You and I will never be casual.”

“God, I hope not.”
