Chapter Twenty-Two

Delilah didn’t knowwhy, but every time Hawkeye touched her, even with what seemed like the most innocent touch, her body seemed to come alive.She felt things around him she’d never felt in her whole life.His hand on her back as they walked sent heat spiraling through her.His hand cupping her breast caused it to ache, but at the same time, it felt good.Too good to stop.

Hawkeye leaned in and kissed her again.Delilah’s head spun.Closing her eyes, she hoped it would help, but it only gave her different things to focus on.The press of his lips against hers.The slide of his hand up over the skin of her belly.The sparks of something she couldn’t explain as his hand cupped her breast and his thumb flicked back and forth over her nipple.

She shifted but didn’t pull away.Her skin felt weird.Like it wanted to get up and walk away but at the same time, stay right where she was.Whatever Hawkeye was doing to her, she couldn’t help but like it.

He broke the kiss and she wanted to pull him back, make him keep kissing her.As she started to pull at his clothes, he moved his lips next to her ear.

“Hold on, little dove.I’m not leaving, just showing you more.”

She nodded once, then let her head fall back as he trailed small kisses down the side of her neck to the bed where it met her shoulder.Her mind went hazy.She felt like she was floating.She couldn’t remember having felt so nice in, well, ever.She barely registered what he was doing as he sat her up enough to slip the sweatshirt off over her head.He laid her back and continued to trail his lips down her torso.

He used the tip of his tongue to circle first one nipple, then the other before blowing across them, the cool air causing them to pucker and draw taut.He drew one into his mouth, sucking hard.Delilah’s back bowed off the bed.She thrust her hands into the sheets and held on.

“Hawkeye!”

He released her nipple.“Does it hurt?”

“No, not hurt.Don’t stop,” she gasped.Warren had squeezed and mauled her breasts and it hadn’t felt like this.She didn’t know what was different, other than the man, but if this was what sex was like, then she could understand why so many women said they wanted it frequently.

Teeth biting down on the tips of her breast brought her back to the present.

“You looked lost for a second.Back with me?”

Delilah tilted her head to look down at him, as he hovered above her, looking up at her face.“I’m back.I didn’t know it could feel this good.”

“This is just the beginning little dove.There’s so much more to show you.”He smoothed one hand down her belly, stopping for a moment as he hit the waistband of the sweatpants they’d gotten for her the night before.She didn’t wait for him to ask but hooked her thumbs on either side of the pants, lifted her hips and shoved them down, taking her underwear with them.Once they were past her rear, she lowered herself back to the bed and kicked them off.When she’d settled back against the bed Hawkeye resumed his attentions.

Delilah did her best to lie still.Warren had beaten her more than once after pulling away or flinching while he was rutting between her legs.It was harder this time because what Hawkeye made her feel was new.She wanted to arch into him, to touch him, to participate.Instead, she fisted her hands in the bedding beneath her and waited to see what was next.

Moist heat teased both her nipples, going back and forth as calloused fingers skimmed along her tummy and past her waist.As they trailed along her skin, heat suffused her body.She pushed away her doubts and did her best to focus on the moment.

The hand dipped between her thighs and Delilah couldn’t help but tense.This was the part that always hurt.

“Remember, you can tell me to stop any time.Tell me what you’re feeling, little dove.Do you want me to stop?”

“No.Keep going.”Her voice sounded strange, but she didn’t know why.Right now, she didn’t care.All that mattered was this odd tension inside.The hot yet electric sensation that told her she needed more.She wasn’t sure what it was, but it felt good.

“If you’re sure.”His fingers teased between her legs.

Her face heated at the moisture pooled between her thighs.She’d never felt that before.Sure, Warren had left her sticky with his seed, but Hawkeye’s manhood was still in his jeans.He still wore all his clothes.This was coming from her.Had she accidentally wet herself?

“Hmm.Nice and slick.I’m glad you’re enjoying this.”

Delilah wondered what he meant.His fingers parted her womanhood and sparks of ...something swept through her.Her breath caught.Her fingers curled into the sheets as she waited to see what came next.

The moist heat of Hawkeye’s mouth trailed down her torso.She lifted her head to watch him.Was he really going to put his mouth there?He moved down her body, littering her skin with kisses and gentle nips of his teeth.Never knowing what was coming, what sensation might attack her senses next made her hyper aware of every touch.
