He kisses me softly, sweetly as if he's in no rush at all to let me go...or maybe saying goodnight. "Are you kissing me goodnight?" I ask, desperately needing to know if he wants me to stay.
He stares at me, and his gaze darkens. "What did I tell you before? You're mine tonight."
A shiver of excitement runs down my spine as he throws open the front door and pulls me in behind him. In the matter of a few seconds, zippers are being unzipped, buttons are being undone, and our clothes are being thrown on the floor in a scattered heap.
Colton locks lips with me in a fevered kiss. I can't help but wonder if it's always going to feel like this, like we can't get enough of each other. I hope the answer is yes to that question.
I break off the kiss to ask, "Couch or bed?"
Colton's hands roam down my stomach and grip my thighs, pulling me against his growing erection. "Couch is closer…but the bed is more comfortable." He kisses me again, biting and pulling my bottom lip between his teeth. "Decisions, decisions."
I reach between us and rub my hand up and down his thick length. "Decide now, Colt. I want to feel you inside of me."
He growls at my words, and suddenly hoists me up and over his shoulder. Like a firefighter…or a total caveman, in this instance, he hauls me up to his bedroom. He throws me down onto the mattress like a rag doll and stands at the edge of the bed. His dark eyes boldly peruse my body, and the look in his eyes makes me tremble.
"You are so beautiful," he murmurs before crawling onto the bed between my legs. "Beautiful. And all mine." He kisses me possessively, thrusting his tongue into my mouth, claiming me as his. And I so badly want to be his. Only his.
His erection digs into my thigh, and my hips undulate under him. He's driving me crazy. "Please, Colt," I beg when he finally breaks off the kiss.
He stares down at me with a big grin on his face. "I like when you beg." Then he kisses me some more, continuing to tease. He moves his hips so that his cock lines up with my wet core. Slowly and tortuously, he rocks back and forth, coating himself in my arousal and driving me nearly up the wall.
"Colt!" I cry out.
"Somethin' you want?" he asks with a wink.
"You. Inside. Now." Oh, great. Now I can't even form full sentences. That's how crazy in lust I am with this man. He reduces my brain to a puddle of gray mush every time I see him naked.
He steps back and digs through his drawer for a condom. It seems to take forever until he's completely sheathed and back on top of me. He kisses me sweetly and stares into my eyes as he enters me ever so slowly.
My fingernails bite into his shoulders as he makes love to me. I can already feel my core clenching around him. Even though we were just together last night, it feels like forever. I'm quickly approaching the edge as he gently rocks into me.
"Colt," I whimper.
He leans down and kisses my cheek, trailing his lips along my jaw line and down my neck. "Come for me, baby," he whispers against my breast before gently nipping at my skin.
A few more thrusts, and I'm falling over the edge in a downward spiral. My fingernails dig into his back as I ride out wave after wave of pleasure. I call out Colton's name as he picks up the pace, thrusting into me, dragging out my orgasm to an impossible length.
He growls as he suddenly stills above me, finding his own release. "Fuck. Yeah. Penny." He collapses on top of me, his arms wrapping around me, holding me close to him. Our hearts beat frantically in an attempt to outrace one another. "So good," he says before kissing me. "It's always so damn good with you."
We lay there for a while, and I enjoy the blissful afterglow. My hands caress his back as I wait until our breathing returns to normal and our hearts stop trying to beat out of our chests.
He gently pulls out of me and slowly stands up. After he takes care of the condom, he climbs back into bed with me. "Come here, beautiful," he says, patting the mattress beside him.
I smile at his words as I crawl to lie beside him. He kisses the top of my head and sighs contentedly. "I don't know what's goin' on between us, but I never want it to end," he confesses.
I stay calm on the outside, but inside I'm absolutely melting. "I want that, too," I tell him.
He's quite for a long while before he finally speaks again. "Penny…" His voice trials off, and I can't help but wonder if he wants to say the three little words that he's been unable to utter before now. But instead, he quickly says, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Colt."
It doesn't matter that he didn't tell me he loves me. He'll tell me when he's ready. I already know how he feels without him expressing it with words anyway. I'm just glad to know that I have broken down a lot of his biggest barriers that were standing in the way. And now that there's nothing standing in our way, maybe we can finally find some happiness together.
CHAPTER 18
PENNY
THE NEXT DAY, Colton and I stay in bed and make love several times into the late afternoon. We leisurely explore each other, and every moment we share seems to bring us closer and closer together. It finally feels like the pieces are falling into place for us.
