“Sì. All snakes.”
“Tell me.”
“There is more,” I pivoted. “I do not like bad weather.”
He wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close, kissing my head. He was in protector mode, and I could not get enough of him this way. Even his scent around me felt as impenetrable as a shield.
I sighed. “When lightning shocks the room, and thunder cracks…I only want to…hide from it.”
He held me closer. I sighed. I had always hated to admit any weaknesses. The world has a way of finding them on its own and applying pressure to them, a way to break the already broken. Admitting these things to Mariano did not feel this way. If anything, it made me feel as if I was not alone with my fears. I was sharing the weight of the burdens with him.
“I’ll kill anything that means you harm, Annie,” he said. “I’m your armor in this world. The man who would die for your honor.”
“I know,” I whispered. “Does this include roaches? Because I really do not like those.”
He laughed, raspy and low, and the sound moved over me, covering me in a warm blanket. “Yeah, Annie.” He sighed. “This includes roaches.”
“Bene,” I whispered. Then I looked into his eyes and, rising from my position, used my legs to straddle him. His cock wasbeing held back by the sweatpants, but not truly. It appeared as though he would tear through them.
I set my hands on his shoulders, my thumbs stroking his neck. “Is this place really ours?”
“Sì.”
A warmth that had nothing to do with the fire spread from my toes and hit my lips. A smile spread on my face that I could not control.
A gorgeous grin came to his. “You’re pleased with me, Annie.”
“Sì.”My smile grew even wider. “I am pleased with my husband!” I leaned in and kissed him. Kissed him again. And again. Until he refused to release my head and the kiss grew deep.
Wild.
Until I could no longer breathe.
I broke it, having to take a moment to catch my breath, but my body could not be stopped. It was a magnet to his. I kissed his neck, down his chest, and over his heart, I stilled and looked up. “We have said vows, and this is one of them.What is yours is mine.”
His eyes were already lowered. His cock hard. He gave me a suspicious look, which I met with a mischievous smile.
“For the next…hour?” I waved the time off. “Time does not matter. This body.” I licked him from heart to Adonis belt, and goosebumps rose on his skin. I suddenly felt as magical as a magician. “Isall mine.”
“It’s yours. Just like yours is mine.”He cleared his throat.“With my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods I thee endow.” He was reminding me of two vows he’d made to me.
I lifted my finger. “I am amending—no, adding to—my statement.Thisbody isallmine to dowhateverI want with it.”
A breath between us. He nodded.
Ahhh, yessss,the voice in my head breathed out when I started to lick his skin. He was a bit salty, but woodsy and spicy at the same time. His stomach tightened when my tongue ran around his navel.
My eyes rose to meet his, and he was watching me as though I was a creature who had never explored him this way before.
With our eyes locked, my tongue continued its explorations down, a moan vibrating my throat. I did not know what it was, but the way I was positioned, myculoin the air, it was making the pulse between my legs throb.
The air was cool, and it was touching the want coating my thighs, making me shiver. My skin was hot. Perhaps my temperature as well. It was doing something to me. Lickinghim, exploringhimwithmytongue, was drivingmecrazy. I stilled when I came close to the tip of his cock, our eyes lingering, his narrowed into almost slits. When I held a handful of his balls and then took him into my mouth, he growled low in his throat, and his hands tightened into fists.
I had never done this before, but he tasted so good.
I could not stop.
I massaged him while I licked and sucked him like a lollipop.
