Page 47 of Never Going to Care

“Celeste,” her name is a warning growl, but she tightens her lips around me and hollows her cheeks before taking me deeper.

She rips my climax from me and swallows down every ounce of my cum. I’m panting and vibrating at the amount of pleasure she’s taken from me. I give it to her happily, gratefully, reverently.

When I pull her off the floor, I plant kisses all over her face and revel in the sweet smile she gives me. I’m going to worship this woman for the rest of my life. There is no other option at this point.

CHAPTER 16

CELESTE

Today has been the best day and we haven’t even done much to fill it. I think the best part was just spending time with Hale and soaking it up. I didn’t realize how much spending time around someone could be soothing.

I don’t have the need to fill the time and the silence between us. Just being together fulfills something in me. I don’t know why it’s that way or if it’ll last, but I’m not going to question it right now.

At least, not too much.

It’s hard for me not to question anything, but I’m trying. I don’t want to ruin this. I want to just sink into it and enjoy it.

I’ve found a peace in the last few days I wasn’t aware I was missing. Who knew a tall, grump of a man with tattoos and a scowl for days could bring me peace? I certainly had no idea.

I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t realize this before because then I wouldn’t be here right now.

After I sucked Hale’s cock like he was a fucking delicious lollipop, which isn’t too far from the truth, he returned the favor. It’s a damn powerful feeling to see a man like Hale on his knees. I already knew about his wicked mouth from our night together after the wedding, but I still wasn’t prepared.

He does this thing when he sucks my clit into his mouth that I swear feels like a damn vibrator with how fast his tongue flicks against me. The man had me seeing stars before I could even comprehend what was happening to me. So good. So damn good.

I couldn’t feel my legs for like twenty minutes and Hale had to hold me up and wash me. The warmth in his eyes told me he didn’t mind at all. Then there was his damn pride. I swear I thought he was going to inflate and float away with how puffed up his chest was.

I didn’t even say anything because he earned that. No doubt. Give the man a medal.

When he dried me, I stiffened up, expecting to feel like he was babying me or something, but it wasn’t like that at all. He made me feel cherished. I almost teared up when he led me out of his bathroom, which is glorious by the way, and I found that he had set out clothes for me to wear.

I don’t even know why it touched me so deeply. Maybe because it was just another way he was showing me that he was taking care of me? I don’t know and I’m not going to question it. There’s no need to.

Not yet at least.

I have a feeling I know why he’s doing these things and what he’s trying to show me through action, I’m just not willing to admit it to myself yet.

When we got to the kitchen, Hale proceeded to make breakfast for the both of us. The man knows his way around a sauté pan and a spatula. That’s all I can say about that.

Thankfully this time he let me help him by cutting up some mushrooms and grating cheese for omelets. I’m not some five-star chef or anything, but I can be helpful in the kitchen. If he really wants us to be together, he’s going to have to get used to me helping. Again, though, I know it’s about him taking care of me.

When I was done with my task, he turned me by my shoulders and spanked my ass. I let out a yelp, but he just chuckled as he leaned down and whispered against the shell of my ear, “Go sit your ass down, Starlight, and let me feed you.”

How could I say no to that?

When we were tucked into our plates, he looked at me with such hope in his eyes that my breath hitched. There’s been a lightness around him which wasn’t there when we first met. I know it would be super self-centered of me to think it has to do with me, but it’s hard not to when the evidence is sitting right in front of you.

He leaned over and kissed my forehead before sitting up straight and winking at me. The man should be fucking illegal. Forehead kisses and winking? Too damn much.

His voice was deep with a smokey quality to it, “What do you want to do today?”

I bit my lip, unsure how he would react, but curious at the same time. “There’s a little bookstore I’d really like to visit. I was looking at businesses in the area and it’s not far.”

I expected him to grumble about it and throw some sort of hissy fit about going to a bookstore. He wouldn’t have been the first guy to react that way. Not my Hale, he simply grinned and nodded before eating another bite.

I guess my surprise must have shown on my face because when he was done chewing, he prodded, “What?”

I blinked at him and shook my head before looking down at my plate. “I don’t know, I guess I just expected you to say that was boring and try to talk me into doing something else.”
