She wouldn’t. She refused.
That made Noah taking off her skirt more difficult than she would have liked. Was that why it ended up around her waist? A wrinkled reminder of how they made love? Was that why Lucy found herself shrinking farther beneath him, until all she saw was his naked chest and the trousers falling away from his body? She could touch him all she wanted. His erection was for her to grab all she wanted, yet a mere graze of her finger left him shuddering. Noah pulled her hand away and directed his cock toward her awaiting opening.
Yes… fuck… yes…Lucy gasped in renewed reverie as he took her, his cock gliding into her with such ferocity that she quickly forgot where she was. Was this the beginning of their relationship? The very end? How long had they been together, and when could they say their wedding vows? Perhaps this was Heaven. The end of a long, happy marriage between husband and wife. Lucy didn’t know. All that existed was Noah. Inside of her. Within her.
He gave her no time to make further sense of the world. Noah hadn’t lied, after all. As soon as he was one with her, there was no stopping. He would take her. He would teach her what it meant to truly be his. If this was forever, then it must mean something.
She didn’t have the words to tell him how much she loved this. She barely had the intuition to know that she would never feel something like this again. No matter how many more times they made love, Lucy would treasure this as their second chance at a first time.
Nothing will ever beat the actual first time…
Did Noah understand her? Was that why he coaxed her to open her eyes and look into his as he gave her those powerful, languid strokes that touched her deep inside? Was he reading the memories as they replayed in her head?
Was that why Lucy soon found herself without him inside of her, only to be turned over onto her stomach, legs dangling over the edge of the bed?
He didn’t say anything, and she didn’t ask him to explain. Her back was curved and her knees pressing against the side of his bed. As her hands splayed across the comforter and grabbed everything that smelled of him, Lucy’s whole world was turned upside down in one simple thrust.
Like it had been one cold, dark night in January.
For the first time, however, she didn’t feel the need to speak. Saying something would break the trance she now enjoyed while Noah pulled her hair and glided his finger down the tender flesh of her throat. As his hand dipped down the front of her body and grabbed one of her breasts, Lucy swore she tasted the infernal freedom that came from dedicating her life to a man like Noah Gabriel. For better or for worse, there was no turning back now.
“I fucking love you.” His voice was hotter than his breath as it dripped right into Lucy’s ear. He fucked her as hard as he dared while keeping his words coherent and his need for her in high demand. “No other woman has done to me what you have.”
His words alone were enough to send her into oblivion. “I fucking love you too.” Lucy succumbed to gravity, arms landing on the bed and face soon following. Noah took that as his cue to grab her by the hips and drive himself into her.
Lucy didn’t need a concept of time. She didn’t care. Noah could have her as long as he wanted. She could take him a long as needed. Every second they spent together like was another to savor later.I don’t want it to end too soon. I don’t care how it ends, as long as it’s not soon.
Then again, her body might have other ideas.
“Harder.” She braced herself against the bed. “Harder!”
Lucy wanted to feel the full force of his body against hers. How could he not want to feel the same thing, even if in reverse?
She also knew that urging him to give her everything he had, she was ending the moment within the next minute. There was no way Noah would last much longer. Not with the uptake in breath and his sweaty hands slipping against her hips.
Noah didn’t have to announce a thing. When his fingers dug into her ass and his groans turned into grunts of increasing need, Lucy flung herself into the torrent about to consume her.
She might as well come along with him. What better way to ensure that than by matching his thrusts of surrender and calling upon every breath left in her body?
It hit her as soon as she realized she might have been too late. Noah had lost himself within her, unleashing his pent-up need and every ounce of lust he had reserved for her over the past few agonizing weeks apart. Lucy screamed into the back of her own hand and welcomed him into her. Her knees sank deeper against the bed. Everything told her to stop putting so much pressure on her own worn body, but she couldn’t let it be finished yet. Not when the shivers were rolling through her and she forgot how to breathe for three blessed seconds.
As one breath returned to her, Noah flipped her onto her back again, his body barely detaching from hers. Before Lucy knew it, he was back inside her, finishing the job.
For the first time in her weary memory, their lovemaking ended with a full kiss to her lips.While he’s still inside me. I can’t believe it.This truly was a first. One Lucy could seriously get used to as the days and years went by.
“You’re staying with me tonight, right?” Noah muttered against her cheek.
Lucy stretched her arms above her head before slowly embracing him. “I won’t have a choice if you keep me pinned to your bed like this.”
“I am thinking about letting you go,” he admitted. “For now. Long enough to get you in the shower and us back into this bed. Naked. Under the covers.”
“Kissing me?”
“I will kiss every inch of your body, including your lips, over and over.”
“Which lips?”
“Both pairs. As much as you want. As long as you’re happy.”
“We might be here a while, then.”
“So we should get in the shower?”
Lucy waited a beat before giving into her laughter. She could get used to laughing in this large, foreboding house. It sorely needed a little extra light and warmth.
First, that shower.
