I glide up and down his rigid length before rolling my hips and clenching around his girth.
His eyes close as he groans.
Will it be a turnoff to call you by your nickname?” I clench again before reaching up to tease my nipple.
“Jesus. Baby, you can call me anything you want. So long as you’re in my bed, I’ll deal.”
My hand drops down to play with myself as I throw my head back, rocking my hips. “Smoke,” I whimper.
“Holy shit,” he moans.
I open my eyes, and peer down at the most handsome, affectionate man I’ve ever known. The utter euphoria I’m experiencing feels akin to a drug.Not that I’d know what that felt like. I had enough issues. The very last thing I’d do is take something mind-altering.But intimacy with him is beyond physical. There’s a bliss I can’t explain.
“What’s that look about?” he pants, appearing as if he’s trying to hold himself back from pounding into me after all of this intoxicating build up.
“What do you mean?” my voice comes out breathless.
“You’re all glassy-eyed. Just when I think you can’t possibly get any more beautiful, you continue to prove me wrong.”
My head falls back, and I roll it back and forth. “Can I feel you on top of me?”
I barely get the question out, and he’s flipping us back over, his firm body hovering over mine. The sensation of him slowly sliding in and out of me is making me insane. How had I ever walked away from him?
“You feel so good. I’m completely addicted to the way your body makes me come alive.”
He undulates his pelvis rhythmically into me, the friction against my clit making me moan wildly. “You’re addicted, huh? Maybe I need to try even harder to get you hooked. So, there’s no chance you can live without me,” he teases.
“Oh, so you’re a dick pusher now?” I groan as he picks up his pace. “You have no shame, mister. No shame.” I throw my arms over my head, thrashing my head in unbridled ecstasy as he thrusts into me at a relentless pace.
“Holy fuck. You’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen.” He leans down to suck a nipple between his lips. He lets go before giving me a devilish smirk. “You going to give me one more before I get reacquainted with that luscious ass of yours?”
My lids spring open in alarm. “I don’t think I’m ready for?—”
“Baby, I just meant I want to take you from behind. No need to panic.” He chuckles.
“Whew.” I laugh. “Yes, let’s do that.” I wriggle from beneath him, getting on all fours. The anticipation of feeling him lose control as he had the first night has my entire body quivering with need.
“Holy hell, baby.”
I turn to look over my shoulder. He has one fist gripping his cock, raw hunger in his eyes as he gazes down at my ass.Hell, this man is good for my ego.I dig my nails into the blanket as he slides the head of his cock into me, slowly pushing my hips back to meet him.
He quickly starts to come unhinged, and I hold on, preparing to fall off the edge quickly once he lets loose. “Oh, baby, you’re going to make me come.”
“Smoke! Oh, god,” I cry out as white spots cloud my vision. My body shudders as another intense orgasm slams into me.
“Char.” My name on his lips sounds like a prayer as he thrusts wildly into me. “Baby,” his voice cracks, his muscular warm body jerking around me as he empties his release.
His body collapses onto mine, the weight of him delicious. Rolling onto his side, he gathers me into his arms, burying his face in my hair. We stay there, tangled together under the blanket. My fingers draw lazy circles on his arm while his heartbeat steadies mine. The fire burns low, and for the first time in years, the silence feels utterly and completely safe.
I don’t know what tomorrow looks like. But right now? Right now, I’m free. And he’s here with me.
I couldn’t ask for more.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
DAVE
It’s a gorgeous,brisk morning in Sycamore Mountain. The air is crisp, there’s a dusting of snow on the pines, and a peace transcending over me I don’t think I’ve ever truly experienced before. I used to think peace was something you found on the job running fire calls or climbing a quiet mountain trail. Turns out, it’s the sound of Char humming in the shower each day.
