Page 35 of Legend
Breaking the breathless kiss, he lowered his lips to one of my nipples to suck on it as he slowed his strokes into me. Lapping and nibbling at it hungrily, he whispered to my breast, “Così delizioso.”
I was still climaxing as my walls tightened around his shaft and if I could have spoken, I would have asked what that meant. But at this moment…I was entirely overcome by all that was Legend.
Biting his lip, as he whispered my name, he then lunged up high in me and climaxed.
The man of my dreams was presently inside me, giving me all of himself—finally. I had to be dreaming…I just had to be. Wrapping my legs around him, I tugged him as close as I could get. Then I whispered to his lips, “My Legend.”
Kissing me again, we came together.
It took me a few minutes to calm my breathing as Legend wrapped his arm around me and scooted me up on the bed so my head rested on the pillow. He then reached back and tucked the blanket up and over me. “Damn Glory, am I glad that you never gave up on us.”
I wrapped my arms around his neck and gazed into his eyes. “I had no choice, Legend. I tried dating. I did. I lookedat other guys. I gave them a chance. Went out on dates and all that. But they just never held my attention. I would come back home from school and see you and it would rekindle how I felt all over again. Then a couple of years back, I simply refused to lie to myself anymore. Even before my birthday, I saw that you did think of me as a woman. I caught you looking. I saw the yearning in your eyes. I just had to wait until you came to your damn senses.”
Staring into my eyes, he chuckled. “The weddings did it. I suddenly realized that someday, I could be watching your wedding…To someone else. My mind and I think my heart refused to accept this thought. I never even knew I walked across the room and grabbed you up to kiss you.”
Smiling, I replied, “I have to admit I was shocked, but I loved it as I had waited so long for that kiss. But at the same time, I was mad that it took you so damned long.” I caressed his cheek. “You know how I act when I get angry. So I couldn’t help it, I slapped you.”
We both laughed.
Caressing my cheek with his fingers, he spoke quietly, “We will build a future together here, Glory. After we visit my family. I want to show you off to them anyway.”
I shook my head.
“You just don’t seem to know how beautiful you are,” he complained.
I rolled my eyes. “I always hoped you would think so, but there were times… Like I thought you would never see me as a grown woman. Not a little sister like you pretended I was.”
“Believe me, that has been nearly impossible to do for the last several years. Pretend that you weren’t sexy as fuck and hot as all hell.”
I scoffed sarcastically. “You coulda fooled me.”
Lying back on the pillow and looking up at the ceiling, he admitted, “Believe me, I wanted you. It nearly drove me insane at times. And I thought about us. I did. Then half the time, I feared you would find someone else. So I would go back to hiding my feelings. Damn, you were right though. Us together…fucking fire.”
“See?” I smirked while feeling smug.
He laughed again. “Scorching, babe. Simply scorching.”
We both smiled as we stared at the ceiling together, thinking of just how hot we actually were together.
Legend turned to prop his head up with his hand as he broke the sweet silence, “I kept guilting myself out of having the hots for you.” He let out a sigh as he played with a lock of my hair. “I had to keep telling myself that it was for the best of the Walker clan in general. I’m still not comfortable as it is. The mafia never allows people to walk away, you know?”
I paused and asked him, “So what are you saying? That your father might try to separate us?”
“I’m not sure what he might try now, but you have to know my dad better to understand why I feel like this. He never quits. He never accepts anything that doesn’t go his way.”
“I guess he’s never come up against a woman like me though…has he? I am the same way.”
Legend shook his head. “If anyone could get to my father and make him lose his mind. I think it would be you. He got a kick out of your sassy nature when he was here, but if he’s around you for a longer time, he might not be so amused.”
I scoffed. “You make me sound like a menace. I mean I can be nice.”
“Yes, you can but I know you well. The minute he tries to push you or manipulate you…” He shook his head.
“Yeah, ok. I admit it. I won’t be able to keep my rap shut.” I grinned at him. “I hate bullies.”
He smiled back at me. “Yes, I remember. Duke and Skunky. I won’t ever forget that.”
I giggled and reached over to tap his nose with my finger. “Duke still avoids me to this very day.”
