Cora’s hand reaches back and cups my head, turning in my arms. I immediately miss the warmth of her and am about to rectify that when she runs her hands across my chest.
I close my eyes and savor the feeling of her touch. Opening them, I find her blue eyes locked on my face. My cock hardens again, and I’m getting ready to start moving inside her when her words stop me.
“My heart matches yours, Atlas. In every way that matters.” She moves her fingers and pulls my hand to her chest.
Leaning my head against hers, I relish the feel of her heart racing under my palm. It’s beating frantically against her chest. Finding her blue eyes again, I see the truth in her gaze.
“Every way,” I agree and pull her tighter into my arms. As I hold Cora and drift off to sleep, I imagine a life where I get to do this every day and night. It’s a life full of happiness and light, and God help anyone who tries to dim that dream.
The chirping of an alarm wakes me early the next morning. I feel like I just got to sleep, which isn’t far off the mark. I woke up twice during the night, needing to touch and feel her. The last time, she slept through me sliding softly into her. I held her in my arms as I rocked inside her, memorizing every sound she made, and how, even asleep, she whimpered my name. Her body knows who owns it.
Cora lies sprawled on her side with her head on my chest. Our legs are tangled and fuck, I love the way her body feels next to mine. Her dark hair is draped across my upper body, and I shift to look at her closely.
The morning sun highlights the soft lightness of her skin. Between my scars and tattoos, my body is nothing more than hard planes and dark lines. Gently brushing the hair away from her face, Iadmire the peaceful way she sleeps. Cora gives me so much peace by just existing, I can only hope that sleeping next to me brings her a fraction of that. Pulling her in closer, I breathe her scent, not ready to get up just yet.
The last thing I want to do is move, but glancing at the clock, I know Noah will be up soon. “Baby.” I kiss her forehead. “We need to get up,” I whisper, running my hands down her arms.
“Mmm,” she hums, scooting closer to me. Cora’s hand slides across my stomach and travels lower. I’ve been hard as a rock since I woke up and felt her; now it’s bordering on painful.
“Don’t start something you can’t finish, Firefly,” I warn her when her small hand circles around my dick. Groaning, I arch my hips into her touch. I hiss out a breath when she tightens her grip and strokes me.Fuck. If I died right now, I wouldn’t be mad at the method.
Leaning on her arm, Cora gives me a playful smile. “Who says I can’t finish?”
Kissing down my chest, I try to be quiet as she nips and tastes my skin. I would happily live through every day of hell all over again if I knew this would be my reward. If I had known that she would be the gift waiting for me, I wouldn’t have complained once.I don’t deserve her touch, but I’ll never take it for granted.
My body tenses as she continues her path to my cock. “Is this for me?” Cora asks, swiping her thumb through the pre-cum leaking from my dick.
“Only for you, Firefly,” I confess with complete certainty. She is the only one who has this effect on me. I’ll never touch another person, ever. There was no one before her; there won’t be anyone else ever. I may have been a virgin before Cora, but I have a feeling I’ll be making up for lost time.
“Good.” She smiles, then I lose myself in her touch. When her mouth swallows my cock in one go, I almost come on the spot.
“Holy shit, baby.” I fist my hands in the sheets and moan. “Are you trying to suck the soul out of my body?” Electricity flows throughmy body like I’ve touched a live wire. I’ll never get enough of her hands on me.
Humming as she bobs her head, Cora pulls her mouth off and blows a cool path of air from the root to the tip of my dick. Using her hand, she tightens her grip and swirls her tongue around my head. I’m so close to coming, but don’t want it to end.
Moving her hand lower, she plays with my balls, and I groan. “Do you feel good, Atlas?” Cora teases.
“So good,” I admit breathlessly. “It feels amazing.” I thread my hands into her hair, trying to guide her back.
“Oh, now who’s a greedy boy?” she teases, licking and swallowing my cock in one swift motion, causing me to swear.
“Fuck. Cora, please,” I beg. I’m not above it. Pride does not exist when I’m with her.
Doubling down her efforts, she continues to bob up and down my length, sliding her tongue as she pulls up. I feel the tingle start at the base of my spine. “Baby.” I gently tug at her hair. “I’m going to come.”
As if she didn’t hear me, Cora lowers her head and shoves my cock to the back of her throat. I’m so on edge that when she squeezes the base of my dick and swallows at the same time, I explode.
My soul leaves my body as ropes of cum shoot into her mouth. Swallowing every bit, Cora licks up my shaft, and I shudder. Holy fuck. All of it. Seriously, every bit of hell to have this slice of heaven.
Cora lets go of my dick with a pop and gives me a satisfied smile. “Morning, Atty.” My heart stalls in my chest.Did she just call me Atty?
Willing my breathing to go back to normal, I grab Cora and haul her into my arms. Smashing my lips to her, I don’t care that I taste myself. God, she’s amazing. Her body melts on top of mine, and I trail my hand down it, ready to return the favor, but she pulls away.
“Thanks for breakfast, but Noah will be up soon. I’m going to grab a shower real quick.” She smiles cheekily and rolls out of bed, heading for the bathroom.
Watching her naked form walk away, I smile and shake my head.If she thinks she’s showering alone, she’s got another thing coming. Glancing at the clock, I decide I’ve got enough time to make her come at least twice before Noah’s up.
Maybe three times.
