Her words spurred him on.
Pumping his fingers faster, his tongue flicked back and forth over her swollen bundle of nerves with expert speed and precision. It was exactly what she needed.
“Derek!”
Charlie cried out his name as she came. An explosion of pleasure rocked her, sending bright colors flashing behind her closed lids.
Her hips pressed upward with each pulse of electricity as her entire body shook from the most intense, most amazing release she’d ever felt.
She was still trying to catch her breath when she felt him leave the bed. Opening her satiated eyes, Charlie watched through a heavenly haze as he walked over to his bag and pulled out a brand new box of condoms.
She smiled. “You always were prepared for anything.”
He grinned. “This was more like a hopeful preparation.”
Opening the box, he quickly tore off the top package and put the rest on the nightstand to his left. Then, with his eyes locked on hers, he brought his hands to the elastic waistband of his boxers and pushed them down his legs.
Charlie lost the ability to think, let alone breathe. Derek was the finest male specimen she’d ever seen. Not that she’d seen a lot, but she’d seen pictures, and of course, there was Caleb.
And holy God. He had nothing on this man.
The V she’d admired so much led down to the biggest, most perfect-looking erection.God definitely knew what He was doing when He created Derek West.
Sticking out from his body like a warrior’s sword, Derek’s cock was swollen and almost angry-looking. The moonlight caught the purple tip, and Charlie noticed a drop of moisture there. She couldn’t help but smile.
Knowing that massive instrument of pleasure was going to be inside her soon had her still-quivering muscles cheering with excitement.
Climbing back onto the bed, Derek laid down beside her, rather than on top as she would have expected. He leaned toward her, his lips touching hers. She could taste herself on him, but oddly, it wasn’t a turn-off. It was actually quite...erotic.
“Thank you,” he whispered against her lips.
Charlie couldn’t help but chuckle. “Why are you thanking me? I haven’t even done anything yet.”
“Yes, you have,” He traced her bare arm with the tips of his fingers. “You’ve given yourself over to me. Watching you come undone like that...knowing I was the one who brought you so much pleasure...” He licked his lips. “That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed.”
“Oh.’ she blushed, realizing he was being serious.
His eyes zeroed in on hers. “You ready, darlin’?”
Praying he could see the love she felt for him, Charlie locked her gaze with his and nodded.
“Yes.”
With trembling hands—God, it was adorable that he was as nervous as she was—Derek ripped the package open and quickly covered himself.
Charlie’s mouth watered, wishing she had been the one to do it.Next time.
Which reminded her...
“I’m on birth control,” she blurted.
He looked at her questioningly. “Okay.”
“Caleb didn’t know. I-I had a friend, one of the few women I trusted from his firm. She suspected what was going on with us and came to me at one of the dinner parties. She said if there was ever anything she could do to help, to let her know. It was risky, but I asked if she could take me to the doctor.”
“He wouldn’t take you?”
“He wanted children. Specifically, a son to carry on his ‘good name’. I want kids, but not like that. I refused to bring a child into that mess. Caleb didn’t know, though. He would have...” She shook her head. “Anyway, she took me out for what he thought was a lunch date once. She actually drove me to her doctor. I was tested for anything he may have caught from all of his trysts, and then I got the shot. That same woman and I had a lunch date about every six months after that so I could continue being tested and get the shot when it was time. I probably should’ve said something before now, but I just wanted you to know I’m protected and clean, too.”
