Our kiss never wavers, and with every pass of my lips, I’m begging, promising, demanding that she knows she has me.
Standing at the foot of my bed, I finally set her down and truly look at her. I am fucking mesmerized. “You’re so beautiful, Jen.”
Her blush comes with a smile, but I can see the concern written all over her face. I know everything I said about my reasoning for not wanting this is lingering in her head.
And for that I can’t blame her. I know a kiss isn’t going to be enough to reassure her. I want to tell her every part of me belongs to her. That I’ll never love someone other than her, but the words get stuck in my chest.
Her hand presses softly on my chest. “Beck…” Anything she might have wanted to follow up with doesn’t come out.
I brush her hair behind her back and rest my forehead against hers. So many words are still sitting on my chest. The weight of them physically hurts. Letting out a deep breath, I need to say something, but what comes out isn’t nearly as poetic as I hoped.
“I’m with you, Jensen.”
Those deep amber eyes lock with mine. Lust might be fighting to take over, but I can still see the small hints of fear.
She takes a small step back and her hands rest on my waist. “Beckham.” My full name comes out as a plea this time.
I pull her back in, I can’t let her get in her head. They’re valid fears, I know that, but I need her to know I want us. I press a soft kiss to her lips again. “I promise.”
Her hands find either side of my face and she lets out a soft sigh. The smile on her face tells me enough that I haven’t completely fucked this up already. “I know—now, show me.”
She leans in and her kiss sends shockwaves through my body. She’s right, words can wait because loving her isn’t just confessions and promises—she deserves those things, but forright now, I need to prove to her that I’m right here with her. I’m in this with all the passion and love she’s giving me.
Picking her body up closer to mine, I hold her to where her toes barely touch the ground. “I need your clothes off.”
She chuckles softly. “You’re going to have to let me go for me to do that.”
“I don’t want to.” I grab a chunk of her hair, kissing her deeper. When her tongue tangles with mine, I nearly come in my pants. Shit, not that again. Not this time at least.
Breaking away from her the best I can, I try to find any form of self-control and grit out. “Clothes off, or I rip them off.”
Jensen’s smirk turns wicked as she pulls her shirt over her head. “Maybe next time.”
My shirt follows. “Oh, definitely.”
We pull off the rest of our clothes, but once she reaches for her underwear, I grip her wrist. “Allow me.”
Gliding them down slowly, I lower to my knees. Placing soft kisses to her hips, the tops of her thighs, and right on that perfect cunt of hers.
Her hands grip on to my hair and her head falls back with my name coming out at barely a whisper.
I pepper a few more kisses along her inked skin then take advantage as she steps out of her underwear by sliding my tongue from her center then sucking her clit into my mouth. A curse comes and her grip tightens. I’m tempted to stay down here all night and be perfectly happy with that, but this time is different.
Rising up slowly, I trail more kisses on her skin. When I reach her face, I grip her chin and pull her flush against me. Her eyes stay shut, but her arms wrap around my back. “Stay with me, baby, please. Open your eyes.”
As they slowly open, I have my thumb glide across her lips. “We’ve fucked before, but that’s not this.”
I feel her swallow against my hand. “Good, make love to me, Beck. I’m right here with you.”
“Fuck,” I groan, spinning her around and laying her back down on my bed.
Hovering over her again, I note every line and swirl of ink on her skin lit only by the moonlight streaming in through the blinds.
God, I could look at her all night.
Looking at her and committing every inch of her body to memory would be more than enough for me, but if I get to touch her…kiss her…make her all mine, I’m going to do that.
My fingers trail slow from her chin down her collarbone, then the valley of her chest.
