“You deserve to be asked properly,” he murmured, box clutched in trembling fingers. “Reese Aiden Rollins, will you marry me?”
CHAPTER 7
Cory
Kneeling had never terrifiedme before, but it did now. The ring box trembled in my hand, and I looked up at Reese as I managed to get my question around a tongue that felt too big and clumsy to say it.
He stared at me for a moment that felt like an eternity. He’d already said yes, but I was suddenly unsure if he would say it again. I was about to beg. About to prostrate myself at his feet and cling to his ankles and beg him to say yes. But then he took a breath, and I held mine.
“Yes.”
“Yes?” The ring box shook so hard I worried that I was about to experience my first California earthquake, but it was just me. Just my nerves going off like fireworks.
“Yes, I’ll marry you.”
I was on my feet, fuck putting the ring on him just yet. I needed my mouth on his. Needed to taste that yes, kiss it off his lips, lick it out of his mouth. Devour it. Make it mine. Makehimmine.
Reese pulled away and glanced at the ring box. I offered him a smile, not like I could stop it if I wanted to.
“Let me.” I gently pulled the ring free. Reese’s hand shook only a little as I slid the ring onto his finger.
A perfect fit.
Like us.
“Fuck, I need you so much,” I told him, yanking him into another kiss. I clung to him, inhaling him. Broke free when I needed more air and less clothes. “I need you so bad.”
Reese crushed his mouth against mine. “You have me. You have me.”
I let him take the lead for a moment, gave him the freedom to take what he wanted before giving him what he needed.
“Turn around,” I ordered as I yanked my fly open and freed my cock. To hell with getting naked. To hell with anything that wasn’t getting inside him in the fastest way possible. “Stay standing but lean forward and put your palms on the bed.”
He bit back a moan but did as he was told. When he was facing away from me, I grabbed the lube and slicked my cock. Drizzling a little over his hole, I smeared it around without worry about being gentle. I’d coddle him later. After.
My cock throbbed when he moaned, and I slid two fingers into him slowly, letting him get used to the intrusion. Then I stepped closer and let my body press against his as I worked my fingers in and out of his hole. I wasn’t kind or careful, but ravenous. Greedy.
“Cory,” Reese whined, arching his back. “You’re going to make me come.”
“You won’t come until I say so.” I fingered him again and again until he was sweating and panting. Until he was rocking back on my hand, fucking himself with my fingers.
He whined again when I pulled out but let out a moan of utter relief when I slid my cock into him. He bent at the knees a little to help accommodate for the height difference. I clutched his hips so hard that I knew I’d leave bruises there too. Myfingerprints would be embedded into his skin, and he’d admire them tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that, until they faded and then I’d leave new ones. I’d make sure he was never without a mark again.
“Gonna…” Reese warned, prompting me to reach around and grab the base of his cock and give it a squeeze.
“Don’t you dare. Not yet. Not yet, darling. Okay?”
He trembled and sucked in a shaky breath but made an agreeable sound.
I pulled out of him, then waited a breath before releasing him entirely. He stayed put, still slightly shaky. The bruise on his inner thigh stretched around to the back a little, letting me have a glimpse of it.
“On your back, darling. I need to see you.” Needed to kiss him too. My mouth was lonely without his and desperation had me clawing at the buttons on my shirt then shoving my pants off before tossing the lube up toward the headboard where he’d settled, propped up against the pillows.
I climbed on top of him and slotted our cocks next to one another. I’d get back to them in a minute. The first thing I did was capture his face in my hands and look into his eyes. “You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’m sorry I didn’t find a better way to propose, but I’ll never be sorry you said yes.”
“You were perfect,” Reese assured me. Sliding his arms around me, his hands skimmed my back until they came to rest cradling my ass.
“So are you. Now get that perfect cock in my perfect ass.”
