I hadn’t really thought past getting her through my front door, but then a spark lit and I knew exactly what I needed to do.
Grabbing her hand, I pulled her into the kitchen. I offered her a seat, grabbed her a beer, and then got to work making one of the only things I knew how to cook—eggs and bacon.
“Really?” She laughed while watching me pull everything out of the fridge.
“Really, really.”
I pecked her on the cheek and whipped up our breakfast for dinner.
We sat and talked while gorging ourselves on thick-cut bacon and runny eggs. It felt like we had done this a million times over.
Once the dishes were picked clean, Raven eyed me a little. “So you wanted me to come over so badly so you could cook for me?”
“That…and other things.”
Without letting a second go to waste, I dropped to my knees, pulling her chair away from the table. In front of Raven, there was nothing I wanted more than to show her how much it turned me on that she was finally giving in to me. I had wanted her from the moment I saw her for the first time, and now that I had her, there was no way I was ever going to be able to hold back again. I had never been more drawn to a woman in my entire life. There was a connection, whether primal or heaven-sent, I didn’t care. It was real and all-consuming. All I knew was that I was never going to let Raven out of my life. No matter what was thrown our way, it was us against the world now.
Her stormy eyes got wide as she started to realize what I had planned, but right when she opened her mouth to speak, I placed one finger on her strawberry-colored Cupid’s bow as I shook my head. I leaned up a little bit, letting my lips connect with the soft skin of her forehead for a fleeting moment.
“Just let me take care of you. Just let all your reservations and walls fall away. Just relax.”
She leisurely let out a breath without uttering a word.
“Good girl.” My fingers interwove with the fine dark curls at the base of her skull, pulling ever so slightly on the tender scalp underneath. “Close your eyes, darlin’. I want you to just concentrate on the feeling of all of it.”
I unfolded her arms from across her chest, resting her hands on the tops of my shoulders. I unfastened her jeans, helping her shimmy out of them and her thong before guiding her legs down around my sides. Taking my time, I rolled the pads of my fingers over her ears, down her neck. Over the thin fabric of her tank top, I teased her round breasts, and then I ran my hands down the insides of her thighs. The smallest touch made her shudder as the slightest hint of a smile played on her lips. I stared at her soft features as her cheeks blushed the most adorable hue of deep crimson I had ever seen.
Pulling the strap of her tank to the side and off her shoulder, I rolled the tip of my tongue over the edge of her collarbone, being sure to give the same attention to both sides of her body equally. The only utterances she let slip were subtle gulps and involuntary sighs. As I explored her body, I made mental notes of each sound and where on her body pushed her to that edge. I noted how she cooed when my nails lightly dragged over the top of her back, how she shuddered when I nipped at the sensitive spot at the nape of her neck on her left side, how goose bumps rose when my fingers connected with the insides of her thighs. They were all spots most men would overlook, lazily just going for the usual places. I had been that man for far too long, but Raven made me want to be different. She deserved for me to know all the places that lit a fire deep within her gut, most of which she probably didn’t even know herself. It was my job to know every inch of her better than she knew it—that was the only way to truly make her mine, to show her I deserved for her to be mine.
I pushed her legs apart slowly, able to see her desire pooling instantaneously. My mouth watered at sight of her need and want, but I couldn’t be greedy—I wouldn’t be.
Cradling both sides of her face, I whispered, “Open your eyes. I need you to look at me, Raven.”
Her dark eyes fluttered open. She was drunk with passion. It filled her irises.
“I need you to tell me you’re mine. I need to hear you say you want this. You’re not a fuck or a conquest. I need to know you actually believe that. I should have done it better earlier, but I am asking this of you now.”
“Jett, I want to be yours. I want this. I want you,” she cooed, biting her bottom lip.
I kissed her lips quickly. “Say you’re mine—not that you want to be, but that you are.”
“I am yours, Jett.”
A low growl escaped from deep within me. It was the first time I had ever needed someone like that, and there she was, unwavering in her resolve to put her trust in me.
“Close your eyes again, darlin’.”
As her eyes slid shut again, the primal beast within me roared with excitement. I craved to consume her, but I forced myself to take a deep breath, to stay resolute in my main mission. Spreading her legs a little more, I kissed from her knee to her upper thigh. I wanted to drink from her nectar instantly, but I let my fingers slide over her slickness first, watching closely as her body reacted to each soft touch and tease. After taking in as much as I could and waiting as long as possible, I finally gave in to my thirst. It was the most amazing sensation, my entire body going into hyperdrive as my taste buds slid over her pulsing clit and plunged into her wetness.
Her body shook as her moans turned into cries and pleads to send her over the edge.
“Not yet, Raven. I have something else in mind for us.” I reluctantly pulled away from her.
I yanked my pants and boxers down and pulled her shirt off of her body. Even though I had touched every inch of her bare skin, seeing her completely naked again took my breath away. It took me a couple of seconds to regain my composure as I drank in the delicious sight before me. I was thankful that I had made Raven keep her eyes closed, because I probably had the most insane look of ecstasy plastered on my face.
Pulling her dainty body into my arms, I directed her legs around my waist. I climbed to my feet, gently leaning back against the wall behind me. With my hands under her ass, I slowly pushed into her, filling her tightness as gingerly as I could. She gasped, her eyes flying open as I bottomed out in her. Holding her right there, I pulled her body more toward mine, letting our lips connect. I rocked her, and her kisses quickened ever so slightly with each thrust. Her walls tightened around my cock as I throbbed deep inside her.
“Oh, fuck!” she cried into my ear as her teeth sank down into my shoulder.
