“I know you are.” I cupped her cheeks. “And I’m so damn proud of you.”
I didn’t give her a chance to protest before I captured her mouth, licking across the seam of her lips before slipping my tongue across hers. She matched my energy stroke for stroke, wrapping not only her legs around my waist butalso her arms around my shoulders. Suddenly, neither of us could get close enough to the other.
“Lily.” My voice reflected my desperation for her.
“It’s been so long.” Her words had me internally questioning her admission, but as she clawed at my T-shirt, I became too lost in the feelings of rapture that I’d only ever had with her to fully dissect what she’d said.
I reached back over my shoulder and grabbed the collar of my shirt, pulling it up over my head.
“Jaxon.” Surprise stole her breath.
I knew she’d caught her first glimpse of my tattoo, but I didn’t give her eyes a chance to linger longer than a second before I pounced, peppering my lips up the slender column of her neck in kisses.
“Please tell me I can touch you.”Kiss. “Taste you.”Kiss.
“Yes, you’re the only one who never has to ask.”
Fuck.
I slipped my hands under the backs of her thighs and carried her down the hallway to her bedroom, laying her atop the plush cloud of covers. Resting my knee on the bed, between her parted legs, I soaked in every ounce of her effortless, flawless beauty.
“Jaxon,” she breathed in disbelief, as her eyes took in my large, bold, black, shoulder-to-shoulder chest tattoo of lilies.
Reaching for the button on her jean shorts, I could hardly hear the sound of the zipper over the sound of my heart beating so erratically in my ears. My impatience to get my eyes on her had me itching to remove both her underwear and shorts at the same time, but I didn’t want to rush a single thing about the moment I’d thought I’d never have again.
“Cornflower blue.” The color I loved because it matched her eyes, I beamed, leaning down to kiss the little patch of fabric,while the scent of her arousal was dizzying in the best way possible. “My favorite color.”Kiss. “On my favorite girl.”Kiss. I said, working my way upward over her belly button until I slid my hands under the edges of one of my SRPD T-shirts she’d declared hers. “But the question is, will the bra match?”
“There’s only one way to find out,” she teased with a little shimmy of her hips caged between my knees.
“That, there is.” I tugged her shirt the rest of the way off, discarding it somewhere behind me. “Tell me, Lily, is it a coincidence that you’re wearing my favorite color on the day we move things past kissing?” Her nipples pebbled behind the simple cotton jersey material.
“Nope,” she said with a sassy added pop of thep.
“What am I going to do with you?” I carefully pulled her hair free from her hair clip and watched as the strands landed in soft waves against the array of pillows behind her before lowering my eyes.
Her lips parted as she released her bottom lip from between her teeth. “Kiss me till my cheeks hurt from smiling too damn much and make me scream your name as only you can.”
“I like your way of thinking,” I replied, slipping my hand between her back and the bedcovers to unclasp her bra.
“Less talking and more action, Jaxon.”
“Action Jaxon,” I snickered with a smirk. “Well, who am I to deny my girl what she wants?” I cupped both her bare breasts in my hands and squeezed, running my thumbs over her dusty rose pebbled nipples before I took one in my mouth and sucked, swirling my tongue over the rough edge while I pinched the other between my fingers. “God, I missed these beauties.”
Lily’s hips jutted off the bed as her breathless moans filled the space and spurred me on.
“You’re so fucking perfect, Lily.”
I alternated breasts before I slowly moved lower down her body, licking, teasing, kissing, and caressing every inch of her mouth-watering skin that tasted sweet like the honey-scented cream she always favored for body lotion. By the time I slipped my fingers beneath the material of her panties and lowered them down her legs, I almost came on the spot when her bare pussy came into view, causing the pressure bearing down on my spine to intensify.
My cock pressed impossibly hard against the zipper of my jeans, but I didn’t care about me or my needs. It felt as if an entire lifetime had passed since I’d seen her like this, lying underneath me in all her natural beauty, looking up at me with lust-filled eyes like I’d hung the moon. The way her eyes pierced mine with such admiration and trust was all the reason I needed to protect and love her, and the reminder to never take a second of our time together for granted.
Like a moth to a flame, I wasted no time burying my face between her legs, licking the length of her from one end to the other. Her sweetness was the balm to my soul, as I lavished her with my tongue. The slight tension I felt seconds ago in her thigh muscles melted under my touch as she lifted her hips and began grinding her core into my face.
I looked up to see her fisting the bedsheets with parted lips, while long, drawn-out bursts of air filled the space.
“Jaxon, I?—”
“Tell me, Lily-Bee, tell me what you need, and I’ll give it to you, always.”
