I kiss her, wanting to shed the events of the day.
“I’m fine. I’m more than fine.”
I hold her around her waist and stroke my thumbs side to side across the base of her ribs. Being with her, touching her, is enough to clear my mind of anything and everything, except how damn lucky I am that she’s mine.
She parts her thighs wider, balling my shirt between her hands as she pulls me closer and opens her mouth, inviting me in deeper. My straining dick weeps in my pants at the taste of her.
“You don’t have your tie on,” she murmurs between kisses.
I drop to kiss her neck. “Told you; I want to frame it.”
I smile at the sound of her giggle.
“Did you say Sullivan has a thing on tonight? An early viewing of the new designs?”
I suck and kiss my way to her collarbone, peppering more kisses along one until I reach the little dip between. I inhale the scent of her before I lick her there, making her tip her head back with a moan.
“He does,” I rumble, considering where to kiss her next. I move downward, kissing the swell of her breasts as they rise and fall with each quickened breath she takes.
“Are you going?”
I gently cup her breast in my palm. She watches me, a soft whimper escaping her lips—a sound that sends a jolt straight through me—as I gently nip her nipple through her clothes.
“No. We’re going.”
“You want me to come?”
“Hallie…”
“Okay.” Her lips curl into a small smile. “So we’re kind of official now?”
“Good girl, you’re catching on.” I bite her nipple again. “My family knows about us now, and we can tell the rest of the world whenever you're ready. I don't want to spend any more time apart from you than absolutely necessary. Besides, it won't be for long. It's just a small group of people going. We can come straight back here afterward.”
“Uh-huh.”
I chuckle again as she struggles to concentrate on what I’m saying. Her eyes are glued to my hand rubbing her breast.
“What do you want, Baby girl?”
She blinks through dark lashes.
“You.”
“Me?”
“I want you inside me.” She wiggles her ass against the countertop and pulls me up for a kiss. “I want to still feel you when we go out later.” She brushes her lips side to side over mine. “I want you to come so deep inside me that it runs down my thighs tonight and makes me think of you.”
“Jesus Christ.”
I rip her dress over her head, followed by her bra. I unzip my pants and let them drop around my ankles. Within seconds, I yank her panties to one side and thrust inside her.
“Baby girl, talk like that and I’ll be coming before I even get inside you next time.”
I draw back and slam deep, burying my head into her neck.
“Sterling,” she whimpers as I suck on her silky skin.
Her wet, needy body hugs me so tight it’s like she’s trying to suffocate my throbbing dick. I drive deep again, unable to get enough of the way she cries my name and sinks her nails into my shoulders as I fuck her.
