Page 62 of Should've Been Us
God, would he ever get used to how beautiful she was? He didn’t think so. Her long, dark hair spread over the white bedding. Her equally dark eyes peering up at him from under those thick lashes, not shyly, not anymore, but coy with the knowledge of how much he wanted her. Her lips were rosy and swollen from his kisses and she looked so gorgeous it physically hurt to look ather.
“Where were you?” She asked softly as he continued to stare ather.
“After we finished cleaning up from the rehearsal, Derek insisted we go for a drink since it’s his last night of bachelorhood.” He admitted as he pulled his shirt over his head, “I reminded him he hasn’t been a bachelor since the day Aubrey showed up in town and he let me sneak away after the firstround.”
“Mmm, I thought that might be where you were.” She bit her lip as her dark eyes trailed down his chest. “But I didn’t want to be the girl that came barging in on the boys because she missed her…you.”
He gave her a pointed look when she very carefully avoided the use of the term boyfriend. He was her boyfriend. He was her man. He’d be her everything if she let him. Instead of flat out telling her that he wanted the term and the one that came after it, he onlysighed.
“I wish you had. Do you know how fucking hot it would’ve been to have my woman come and drag me out of the bar because she needed me? The guys never would’ve let me hear the end of it and I’d have loved every second ofit.”
She rolled her eyes, “Uh huh, because a needy chick ishot.”
“You being needy for me? Yeah. It’s hot as hell.” He caught her gaze, “I left the bar when I did because I needed you. I’d have been back earlier but I went to the ballroom looking for you first. The girls were gone by the time I got there and I all but ran back here.” He unbuttoned his pants with a slow flick of his fingers, “I needed to see you, Lu. Needed to touch you. Feel you. It’s been too long since I got to be inside you and I feel like I’m missing part of myself when you’re not withme.”
“Con…”
“Shh.” He dropped his pants and eased down over her on the bed, pushing her shirt up and kissing across her rib cage, “You don’t have to say anything. I just have to tell you those kinds of things now. I had to keep them to myself for so long. I can’t keep it insideanymore.”
“Con.” She said his nickname again as he pushed her shirt up and she raised her arms to help him take it off. As he dropped it over the side of the bed she wrapped her arms around his neck again, pulling him up and dropping a soft kiss against his chin and then his mouth, “I missed you too. I told you that. It’s only been a few hours and I can’t think straight for wanting you. What are we going to do when we have to go home and back to workand…”
“Don’t worry about that right now.” He cut her off with another kiss, “We’ll figure itout.”
“But…”
“If you need me, you call. You text. You fucking send up a smoke signal, Lu, and I’ll be there. You don’t ever have to feel lonely again. Not when I can be there. I’ll come to the gym and fuck you in the locker-room or in front of one of those big mirror walls you’ve got if you need my touch. You can ride me in my cruiser. Hell, that’s been a fantasy of mine for a long time. It doesn’t matter where you are, if you need me, I’ll bethere.”
He met her eyes as the seriousness of his almost crude words filled the space between them. Lulu bit her lip and he could practically see the wheels turning in her head. She was thinking too much again. He flipped the button on her shorts and pulled them down her legs as she simply lay there, watching him from beneath those dark lashes. When she was naked and laid out beneath him, he rose back up over her and watched as she raised her arms over her head, crossing her wrists the way she’d learned he liked. It stretched her beautiful body out and perked her perfect tits up for him. But more than that, it was a sign of her submission, of her willingness to let him be in control, to have her however he wanted her, and when she widened her legs for him, letting him see her slick pink folds as well, he had to swallow agroan.
She hadn’t said the words but she didn’t have to. Her willingness here and now was more than he’d ever expected from her. It made his dick hard and his balls draw up but it also made his throat tight and his chest ache at the wonder ofher.
She was giving herself to him.Completely.
“I’m never gonna hurt you, Lu.” He traced his hands over the smooth skin between her hips even as he kept his eyes on hers, “Never. Ipromise.”
“I know.” A flicker of a smile crossed her lips, “I trust you and I need you. Now. Make love to me.Please.”
“Always.” He ducked his head and licked her nipple, causing her to arch and moan, “Forever.”
He fastened his mouth around the pert nipple and sucked, hard, before she could utter a response. She let out a keening cry instead and her hands went back to his hair, pulling him tighter as she pressed her breasts up for him to take more. He didn’t need her words. Not right now. All he needed wasthis.
The way she looked at him. The way she touched him. The way she reacted to him. She was everything he’d everneeded.
He pinched her other nipple as he licked and bit at the rosy tip in his mouth. She cried out his name and he switched, giving the left breast the same treatment. Worshiping her with his mouth as she writhed beneath him, her hands in his hair and his name on herlips.
He kissed down the middle of her chest and felt her stomach muscles quiver beneath his mouth. He paused at her belly-button, swirling his tongue around it and making her giggle. He smiled against her damp skin and ran his cheek against the sensitive skin just beneath that stretched between her hipbones. Her laugh turned to a sigh and he did it again and again until she was pushing at his head, trying to force him lower, to where shewanted.
Smiling up at her, he kissed a trail down to her mound but instead of parting her folds he kissed the crease of her leg and continued on down her thigh. Lulu cursed at him and he chuckled as he nipped at the sensitive flesh. He slid his shoulders down, notching himself between her legs and met her glassygaze.
“Put your feet flat on the bed.” His voice was gruff, even to his own ears, but Lulu complied instantly, which only made his need for her moreintense.
He leaned back on his heels, looking his fill of her. Lulu’s skin was flushed pink and sweat-dampened already. Her dark hair was wild around her shoulders and her equally dark lashes were low over her eyes, hooded with desire. Her lips were swollen and red from where she was biting them. Her breasts heaved as she breathed and her stomach quivered. And she was wet, God she was wet, he could see her pretty pink parts glistening for him and he licked his lips, making herwhimper.
“Connor.Please.”
“Please what?” He smirked as he traced his fingers up her thigh, dancing close to the spot she wanted him but never quite touching herthere.
“Put your mouth onme.”
