“You heard me, woman.” I tighten my arms around her waist so she can’t get away. “Claiming you. Officially.”
Her body relaxes completely. “And what does that mean?”
“It means you’re mine, and I’m yours. No one touches you, no one disrespects you, and if they do, they answer to me.”
The grin on her face shifts to a full-on smile that lights up the whole fucking room. “Are you asking me to be your girlfriend, Caleb Reeves?”
I snort. “Fuck no. I’m a grown ass man. I’m tellin’ you, you’re my woman.”
“Yes.” She leans forward, pressing her forehead to mine. “I’ll be your ol’ lady.”
I capture her lips with mine, kissing her deep and slow. She melts against me, her fingers tangling in my hair. When I finally pull back, we’re both breathing hard.
“I love you,” I words spill out, but I mean them.
Honey’s eyes go wide. “You… love me?”
“Yeah, baby. I do.”
“I love you, too,” she whispers back.
That’s all it takes for my control to snap. I stand with her in my arms, her legs going around my waist as I carry her down the hallway to our bedroom.
I kick the door shut behind us and lay her on the bed, my eyes never leaving hers as I pull my shirt over my head. Her gaze travels down my chest, lingering on the tattoos that cover most of my skin.
“You’re so beautiful,” she says, her voice full of awe.
I chuckle, leaning down to tug at the hem of her sweater. “I’m a sure thing, baby. No need to butter me up.”
She rolls her eyes as she sits up, letting me pull her sweater off. The sight of her in that lacy pink bra has my cock hardening against my zipper. I make quick work of her jeans, sliding them down her legs and tossing them aside.
“Fuck,” I groan, taking in the sight of her laid out on my bed in nothing but her panties. “Never gonna get tired of this view.”
She blushes, a soft pink color spreading across her cheeks and down her neck to the tops of her breasts. I run my hands up her legs, over her hips, and across her flat stomach, loving the way her skin feels beneath my fingertips.
“Caleb,” she breathes, her back arching slightly as I cup her breast through her bra. “Please.”
I unhook the clasp and pull it away, exposing her perfect tits to my hungry gaze. Taking my time, I kiss my way down her neck to her chest, capturing one nipple between my lips.
She moans, her hands going to my hair to hold me there as I suck and lick at the hard bud. I move to the other breast to give it the same treatment, and her hips start to rock against me.
“Patience, baby,” I murmur against her skin, even though my own is wearing thin.
I continue my path down her body, pressing open-mouthed kisses to her stomach, her hip bones, the insides of her thighs. Her panties are soaked through, and the scent of her arousal has me growling with need.
Hooking my fingers into the sides of her panties, I slide them down her legs and toss them over my shoulder.
“Spread your legs for me.”
Her thighs fall open to reveal her slick pussy. I groan at the sight, diving in without hesitation. The first swipe of my tongue has her bucking her hips, a gasp tearing from her throat.
I hold her hips down as I feast, alternating between long, flat strokes of my tongue and quick flicks against her clit. When I slip two fingers inside her, curling them to hit the spot that drives her wild, she comes apart on my tongue, her thighs trembling around my head.
Before she’s fully recovered, I stand up and rid myself of the rest of my clothes. Her eyes flutter open, dazed but hungry for more as she takes in the sight of me standing naked before her.
“Ready for more?” I ask, stroking my cock.
She nods, licking her lips. “Always.”
