Page 36 of A Forbidden Spring
Merrick’s heart beats wildly against my chest, his fingers gripping my hips as he lifts me off him, setting me gently in the center of the hot tub as I get my balance. It lasts only a moment before he’s spinning me away from him, his chest hot against my back as he leans over me and places my hands on the edge.
“Arch your back for me.” His words are a seduction as he hooks his thumbs in the back of my bathing suit and drags it down my legs. The air is cool against the wetness, but my body is on fire as he slides his palm down my spine to cup my ass. “You’re so fucking sexy, Wren.”
A whimper is my only response as he drags the head of his cock through my slit, teasing and stroking until I’m pushing my hips back, desperate for more.
“That’s it. Nice and wide, baby.”
It’s surreal, the water splashing around my thighs, the coolness of the night air, and the promise of Merrick inside me. It’s all too much.
It’s not enough.
I want to scream the words when I feel him at my entrance, my outrage becoming a gasp as he pushes in a little, holding himself there before pulling out and doing it again.
Pushing farther.
Until he’s cursing and I’m begging him to move.
And like I knew he would, he snaps, his hands digging into my waist as he fucks me hard and deep and exactly the way we both need.
“You feel incredible. Fuck, Wren, your pussy is so fucking good.”
His words consume me, my mind so focused on the feeling, on the way we’re coming together for this moment that’s about to wreck us both, that I’m completely unable to stop my foot from slipping.
But Merrick is right there, his arm catching me, holding me, and this time he doesn’t let go.
“Merrick.”
“Get there, Wren. I need you there.” I want to tell him to make me, to give him the sass that comes so naturally when he’s near me, but I can’t because his other hand finds my breast, his fingers pinching and rolling my nipple until he does, in fact,make me.
The pleasure is blinding, the pressure on my nipple intensifying an already life-altering release. Merrick holds me tighter as he comes, his dick pulsing inside me as my walls flutter around him.
I’ve never done it bare, but I’m glad it was with him.
The sentiment has a little smile playing across my lips as Merrick presses soft, open-mouthed kisses along my shoulder.
“I missed you.”
“I missed you too,” I admit as steam continues to dance around us.
No longer frantic, the moment that had been fiery and beautiful becomes something tender that has my heart beating faster in my chest because even if he’s not saying it, I can feel it.
Because I feel it too.
I’m falling for Merrick Ellis, and I hope like hell he’s falling too.

MERRICK
DAD: Call me when you get this
Ifrown as I look at the screen. Why the hell does he need me to call him? I haven’t heard from my father since I got back to Montana, and the week has been pure bliss. I’ve fucked Wren on every surface in my house.
Made love to her too.
Because the feelings have become so much more than I could’ve imagined, and instead of wanting to run, all I can think about is leaning into them.
Making them more.
