My breath is heavy, and I see my swollen clit poking out as he keeps filling me. He breaks through my barrier, and my breath sucks in sharply for a moment.
“Look at me,” he orders.
When I meet his eyes, his gaze feels like a caress. “Are you okay?” he asks.
I can’t even speak because all I can feel is this rushing sensation, this feeling of completion that I’ve never experienced in my life. I nod.
On the heels of a shuddering breath, he seats himself fully inside me. He palms my cheek as his other hand slides around to press low on my back. He nudges me closer to the edge of thebed. My legs dangle down around him as he moves inside me in slow, deep pumps.
He withdraws, telling me, “Watch,” and I see his thick length, glistening from his arousal and mine, sliding in and out of me. My own climax is upon me, and I’m begging him.
He reaches between us, his fingers teasing above where we’re joined. I feel as if I’m scattering into a million pieces, the pleasure so intense I break apart. I hear him calling my name as the heat of his release fills me, and he holds me close as we tumble together.
Chapter Ten
THORNE
I’m still buried inside Romi as I hold her close against me. A sense of relief rolls through me on the heels of the most intense climax I’ve ever experienced. My body knows I’m finally where I belong. Here, joined with Romi.
She’s soft against me, the feel of her warm skin and curves a contrast to my hardness. Her head is tucked into the curve of my neck. I can feel the soft gusts of her breath across my skin.
I slide a palm up her back to sift my fingers through the tendrils of her hair that dangles along her neck.
I feel her lift her head and drag my eyes open to meet her dark gaze. “I’ve never seen you with your hair down,” I say, my voice a little hoarse.
Her lips curl into a lopsided smile. “I’m very practical. I don’t usually wear my hair down,” she says.
“I love how practical you are. You can leave it up if you’d like.”
She reaches up with her hands and quickly takes out the pins holding the braid up. A moment later, she slides a single finger through to undo the braid. My breath hitches as her hair falls around her shoulders in a glorious, glossy tousle.
I trail my fingers through it, savoring the silky feel of her long locks. “You’re beautiful. It’s beautiful. I like it up or down,” I murmur.
“You do?” She tips her head to the side, her eyes skeptical.
“I do. It’s beautiful down, but I have better access to your neck when it's up.” I lightly trace my knuckles along the side of her neck, gratified when I feel the goose bumps rise on her skin. “How are you feeling?” I ask.
“Better than I’ve ever felt.” Her cheeks are a little pink with her reply.
Reluctantly, I withdraw from her. Because I know she may be sore. “Let’s shower.”
I help her off the bed, and we walk into our bathroom together, enjoying a shower under steaming hot water. Afterward, we both change into comfortable clothes and pad out to the kitchen.
“I can’t believe it,” she begins as she turns toward me. “But I’m hungry. I was so, well, overwhelmed with everything after our wedding that I actually didn’t eat much.”
“Jane made sure we have everything we need,” I say.
Opening the refrigerator, I gesture toward a large tray of fruits and meats and other things. “And, of course, we have our communicators, and we can ask for anything to be delivered.”
“Even with the gate locked?” she prompts.
When I nod, she shakes her head with a wondering laugh. “Even though I’ve been here a few months, I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to how well everyone is treated here.”
“That is why we are a galaxy hub. We have ample resources to make sure everyone who is living, or visiting, on our planet has enough food. We pride ourselves on being one of the best planets in our galaxy. One of these days, I will have to take you to the food court where the station for all the ships is. I think they’ve been out of service since you were born, but it’s like theold airports on Earth. They often had areas with a lot of food for travelers.”
Romi’s lips twitch in another smile. “I would love that. Sometimes I feel greedy. Something as simple as having lemonade is such a luxury. But for now, I just want to be with you.”
My heart feels warm in my chest as I smile down at her. The connection between us feels as if it tightens. “We have an entire week to ourselves. Even if we get food delivered, we don’t have to deal with anyone.”
