Page 91 of Further To Fall

Austin’s fingers kneaded the flesh on my thighs, gradually working their way closer to my core. My breathing picked up, and as his fingertips traced my opening, a feather-light touch, my head fell back onto the bed. So very slowly, Austin inserted a single finger. He lazily stroked my walls. He was an expert in exquisite torture.

“More.” My voice came out in a whisper. When he didn’t give me more, I clamped down around his finger, trying to get the friction I needed.

Austin tweaked my nipple, the contact sending a jolt to my clit, but it wasn’t quite enough. “Not yet,” he soothed. “Soon.” His thumb edged along the side of my clit, ramping up the tightening of my muscles.

“Need you inside me, Austin.” My hands trailed over his broad shoulders, the pads of my fingers relishing the feel of his soft skin over hard muscle.

Austin rose, and I shuddered when I felt his tip at my entrance. He leaned over me, one hand on the bed, the other holding the side of my neck. “Tell me if you feel any pain.” I nodded, hooking my legs around him, feet digging into his muscular butt. He didn’t let my actions speed his movements. Inch by inch, he entered me. The stretch, the pressure, it was heaven.

I reached up, touching Austin’s cheek. “Missed feeling you inside me, baby.”

His face went soft, and then his jaw hardened as he bottomed out. My eyes closed as he reached that sweet spot, I was incapable of keeping them open no matter how hard I tried. Gradually, Austin picked up speed. That cord within me twisting and tightening.

“I’m not going to last, Firecracker. You feel too good.” He reached between us and circled that tight bundle of nerves, the second pass sending me flying. Austin arched back, and I felt his release deep inside me.

Relaxing back over me, Austin rolled us so that I was lying on top of him. Still connected, I let the feeling of being skin-to-skin and so very sated seep into my pores. He kissed my forehead. “Love you, Carter.”

“Love you more,” I said as I pressed my lips to his chest.

“Impossible,” he responded.

My lips stretched into a smile against his skin. “It’s nice to have that kind of competition.”

Austin traced the ridges of my spine. “That it is. You feel okay? Not hurting?”

“I feel boneless.”

He snickered, and the vibrations caused me to clench in response. Austin groaned. “Fuck, you’re going to make me hard again, and I haven’t even pulled out.”

I lifted my head up and rested my chin against his sternum. “I don’t have a problem with that.”

Austin shook his head. “I’ve turned you into a sex fiend.”

I grinned. “You should be thanking your lucky stars for that.”

“Trust me, I am. But right now, we have to get up and get into the shower because I’m taking you out tonight to celebrate your clean bill of health.”

“Really?”

“Yep.” He squeezed my side and then gently lifted me off of him. “Come on, let’s go.”

After showering and applying simple makeup, I slipped into a pink sundress with capped sleeves and gold sandals. “You almost ready?” Austin bellowed from down the hall.

“If you told me where we were going, I could’ve gotten dressed quicker,” I called back.

Austin entered the bedroom as I was reaching around to fasten my simple diamond necklace. “Here, let me get that.” Sweeping my hair off my back, he snapped the clasp into place, then kissed the base of my neck. His eyes met mine in the mirror. “You look beautiful.”

My lips tipped in a small smile. “You don’t look so bad yourself.” Austin was wearing dark jeans and a button-down shirt that brought out the blue of his eyes. I twisted, and his arms came around me. “Actually, you look freaking hot.”

He smirked and dipped his head to brush his lips against mine. Soft, sweet, and already so familiar, it felt like coming home. “Let’s get going.”

“Okay.” He intertwined our fingers and led me out of the room and down the hall.

When we got in the Range Rover, he handed me a satin sleep mask. “Put this on.”

I ran the smooth material through my fingers and asked, “Um, why?”

Austin started the engine and hit the garage door opener. “Because I want to keep where I’m taking you a surprise.”
