Page 36 of The Forever After Bet

A little grunt escapes me, and my hips arch into Ford. “Then take me. I want to feel you inside me with nothing between us.”

Ford groans, pressing his forehead to my chest, kissing my belly. He kisses up between the valley of my breasts to my neck. He places a little kiss on my chin. “I don’t want us to press our luck, so only once. I know I’m being paranoid, but—”

I trace my thumb over his lips, quieting him. “It’s okay to worry. It makes me love you that much more.” I press my mouth to his. “Now, what are we waiting for?” Ford pushes his boxer briefs down his hips, kicking them off.

I scrape my nails down his back to his incredible, firm ass. He grunts, giving me a wicked smile. He rolls us so I’m on top, and I sit up, shaking my crazy curly hair out.

“Holy…Hannah,” Ford mutters, sliding his hands up my stomach and covering my breasts. I arch my back as pleasure ripples through me. He wraps his arm around my waist and lifts me. I wrap my arms around his back and rest my forehead against his as he slowly enters me.

“Ford,” I exhale.

“Hannah, I—I—love you,” Ford whispers.

I bit the juncture of his neck and soothe it with my tongue, then kiss my way up to his ear. “Show me how much you love me,” I breathe, kissing the shell of his ear.

Ford lays me back, and we show each other how deeply we love each other.

It’s heaven lying here tangled with Ford. We have all night to be together. It feels like a moment out of time. Ford glides his mouth along my neck, kissing my shoulder. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

I turn around in his arms. “I’m not ready to give up this feeling for sleep.”

He smiles, brushing wayward curls off my forehead. “What feeling is that?”

“Love, happiness, contentment. We don’t know when we’ll get another opportunity like this one, where we get to spend all night together.”

Ford glides his hand down the curves of my body. He grabs my hip, and I lift my leg over his so our bodies are flush.

“Why are you not asleep?” I whisper over his lips, giving him a soft kiss.

“Same reason, except I want to sear these memories into my brain. The feel of your body pressed against mine. The softness of your skin against the palm of my hand.” He leans in, kissing the shell of my ear, and whispers, “the way you moan my name when you come.”

I wrap my arms around his neck, letting out a little groan. My mouth follows the line of his jaw until I get to his lips. I nip at his bottom lip and flick my tongue out, teasing him. “I love you today.” I press my mouth against his in a gentle caress.

Ford kisses the corner of my mouth. “I love you tomorrow.”

I thread my fingers through his messy hair. “I love you in ten years.”

Ford rolls us, so I’m underneath him. He kisses down my chest, nipping the underside of my breast, and then nuzzles his nose across my nipple, making it pebble and stiffen. He kisses across my stomach, scraping his teeth against my navel. He looks up at me, his smile so big his eyes crinkle. “I’ll love you the rest of my life.”

He dips his head between my legs, kissing me. My hips buck with pleasure, and he splays his hand across my stomach, holding me in place.

“Ford,” I groan. I fist one hand in his hair, and the other I twist into the bedsheet. “I love you…”

He lets out a moan. “Say it again.”

“Ford, I love you for—aahhh.” I try to buck my hips again as pleasure floods my body. Ford doesn’t let up. I feel pulled tight, the pleasure inside of me is ready to shatter. “Ford, please, please,” I beg.

“Tell me, Hannah,” he says, kissing my thigh.

“I’ll love you forever—I promise forever,” I whisper over and over as my climax crashes into me.

Ford crawls back up the bed, holding me. He kisses my forehead. “I’ll love you forever, Hannah Clark.”

I lay my head on his chest, and he rubs my back. I doze for a while, but my stomach grumbles, waking me up.

I look up at Ford. “That was my stomach.” I laugh.

He arches an eyebrow at me. “We better feed that thing then before it tries to escape.”
