He lifted her off the desk and sat upright at the foot of his bed, with her on his lap. She unbuttoned his shirt, and he pulled it off, casting it to the ground.
They were both totally naked as Scarlett got on her knees, wrapped her arms around Brayden’s neck, and slid onto his hot cock as he thrust into her. She bounced on him, sliding him in and out of her, loving the control over their speed, and Brayden’s grip on her tightened, driving Scarlett down even harder. The need for him—she had to finish again. She stared down at him, his corded muscles gleaming and constricting underneath her in the dim firelight.
The sight of him under her… Scarlett rocked against him, desperate for the pleasure that built more and more with every thrust.
“I’m so close,” she panted.
He leaned back, bracing himself against the bed with one hand and grabbing on to her with the other, filling her even deeper as she continued to ride him.
“Oh fuck.” She ground her clit into him shamelessly. Then her pussy clenched around him as a wave of endorphins flooded through her.
Scarlett hugged Brayden tight.I’m so lucky he’s mine.
They fell together onto the bed.
Scarlett leaned over him as he continued pushing into her pliant body. “Come for me,” she panted out, dizzy as shebreathed in his familiar scent of cedar mixed with clean sweat.
He grabbed her arse, impaling her with his hard-on. Several deep thrusts later, he tensed as he came in her again.
They lay there panting for minutes. Scarlett closed her eyes, letting bliss overcome her.
Some minutes later, she raised herself off his chest. Brayden stared up at her, reverent.
“You make me feel…” he whispered. “I just came in you twice, and it wasn’t enough.” He sounded almost upset.
She ran her fingertips over his chest hair, smiling softly. “I’m glad, especially since wejustgot married. If you didn’t want more, our marriage would probably fail.” She meant it jokingly, but the words came out sounding more serious than intended.
Brayden’s stare was intense. “I’ll always want more of you.” He held up his left hand, where the gold band glistened in the dim light. “I want this forever. Don’t ever leave me.”
“I won’t leave you,” she whispered, all traces of humor gone from her voice.
CHAPTER
TWENTY-TWO
When Scarlett awoke, tangled with Brayden’s body under his soft flannel sheets, his cedar scent was all over the blankets—and all over her too. Her head throbbed, and her mouth and her lips were dry. As she shifted in the bed, soreness in interesting places evoked salacious memories of Brayden pounding into her on his desk.
Goddess. I am an idiot. Why did I drink so much?No regrets about the desk sex though. Or round two in his bed. She smiled with her eyes still closed. No regrets, she’d made him promise. The moment she’d fallen asleep in his arms was hazy, but that discussion—and the sex that followed it—was crystal clear in her mind.
“Welcome back,” said Nori.
Good morning, Nori.She nuzzled against the soft hair on Brayden’s broad, muscled chest. The finest chest she’d ever had the pleasure of touching. He had the finest everything.
His arms tightened around her, and he kissed her hair. “Good morning.”
“Morning.” Scarlett licked her dry lips.
“Big day today.” He stroked her back with his fingertips, making her skin tingle.
“It is.” Scarlett sighed as she held her left hand above them. She loved the way the diamond ring sparkled as she toyed with the delicate band. “I’m sad to leave. I barely got to spend any time here, but I’ve fallen in love with it.” The cold air made her skin pebble, and she retracted her arm back into the nest of soft blankets.
Brayden was silent for half a minute. Long enough to make her wonder what he was thinking.
“Do you think you could live here?” he asked eventually. His tone was light, but the question was loaded.
His words from last night rang in her head.“Don’t ever leave me.”Brayden’s vulnerability was completely new to her, and it made her want to give him everything. Even things she shouldn’t. She didn’t want to leave him. Thankfully today he was leaving with her. He’d be the one to leave her in Soleil when he eventually returned to Clair de Lune.
He gave her a charming grin, lightening the mood.
