Page 72 of Slow Burn
I pulled my hand away and sat up on my knees, Maddie's loud moan of protest shortly on my heels. She looked about three seconds away from cussing me out until I hooked my fingers in her waistband and pulled off her shorts and underwear.
Slipping from the bed, I shoved my pants and briefs down my legs and kicked them to the side. Maddie nibbled on her lips, eyes slowly tracking down the length of my body, pausing at the important parts with a salacious grin tugging on her mouth.
Shit!I was man enough to admit she was knocking me on my damn ass.
Rooted to the spot, I held her gaze as she crawled toward the edge of the bed and pushed onto her knees to drape her arms over my shoulders. Tilting her head, she pressed her lips against my jaw, slowly working her way to the shell of my ear.
My arms banded tight around her waist, pulling her naked body flush against mine. I was assaulted with all things Maddie at once. Her warmth. Her sweetness. Her delicate strawberry scent. And when she sucked my lobe into her mouth and rolled it between her teeth, a deep, deep groan tore from my lungs.
Working her fingers through the hair at my nape, she dug the tips into my scalp. "I want you inside me, Adam. Right. Now." To reiterate her words, she rubbed against me, pulling a string of curses from my lips.
That was also the time I realized something very important that could potentially kill the mood. With another muttered curse, I dropped my head to her shoulder. "Shit, Maddie. I didn't come here thinking this would happen." Lifting my head, I chuckled ruefully. "I don't have protection."
Maddie's cheek popped out like she was sticking her tongue against it. Her gaze roamed over my face; eyes so serious it made my heart stop. My breath remained trapped in my lungs as she slowly brought her hand to my cheek.
"I have some in the drawer, but…" She closed her eyes and swallowed. When she opened them again, the vulnerability shining her irises nearly killed me. "I'm on the pill, and… I trust you."
My heart stuttered inside my chest. "Are you sure? I haven't been—"
"I trust you, Adam," she repeated her words in a whisper. "Wholeheartedly."
Cradling her face between my palms, I touched my mouth to hers. Kissing her with fervor. Each swipe of my tongue fueled by something deep within me. Feelings I couldn't or wouldn't name.
Feelings that had the power to not only burn but destroy me.
Gently pushing her onto her back, I hovered over her. I wanted to tell her how beautiful she was. How by just being her she'd brought so much light and happiness to my life.
Before I could utter a single word, Maddie hooked her legs around me and dug her heels into my ass. The action pulled my hips down, aligning us perfectly. All it took was one sure thrust forward and I was lost in her warmth.
"Fuck," I groaned. "You feel so damn good."
But I couldn't move. Not yet. Not when it took every last bit of willpower I had to keep my self-control in check. To not ravage her like the starved beast I was.
Unaware of what was going on inside me, Maddie arched her back and swept her palms over my shoulders. Digging her fingers into my skin, she tried to rock against me. And still I couldn't bring myself to move an inch.
"You have to move," she hiccupped against my skin.
Knowing she was right, I pulled back before gently easing into her again.
As much as I craved to screw her senseless, the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt her in any way. Sucking in a breath through my nose, I rolled my hips once, twice; desperately trying to keep my sanity.
My self-control.
It was stupid of me to think that Maddie wouldn't notice. Lifting her head, she drew my lip into her mouth and bit, hard. "I want it all, Adam. All. Of. It."
With a curse, I sucked in a sharp breath and began to move. It wasn't sweet and slow like I'd wanted it to be. It was me losing all control, like a shot of pure ecstasy straight into the veins.
Addictive.
All-consuming.
My hands shot to her hips, fingers digging into her soft skin as I continued drive into her over and over again. I soon realized my fears of hurting her were completely unnecessary when Maddie matched me thrust for brutal thrust.
"Just like that." She moaned, clawing at my back, the sharp edges of her nails scraping over my skin.
I wanted more.
I wanted everything.
