“She told me I deflowered her little girland turned her into someone she didn’t recognize.”
I sit up, wrapping my hands around Cole’sface. “No.”
“That cut deep and made me think.”
“I love who I am with you. You’ve made mea better, stronger person. I speak my mind, and you listen to my opinion.That’s why I left the dining room at lunch. Usually I take their criticism,well mostly. They don’t usually give me such a hard time. But with you there, Icouldn’t hand it. I don’t want to be that person anymore.”
Cole sighs, he covers his hands withmine, kissing me. “Thank you. I tried to stay away, but I couldn’t.”
I don’t know how, but my love for Colegrows more every day. Just when I thought I couldn’t love him any more, hesurprises and amazes me. I lift my hands over my head. Cole gathers my dressand takes it off me. I undo the first few buttons on his shirt and then helifts his arms for me. I pull his dress shirt over his head, letting it fall tothe floor. Cole adjusts me on his lap, so I’m straddling him. I nip his jaw,kissing down his neck and chest. Cole’s head falls back against the bed. Icircle the fading red hickey with my finger, then cover his tight nipple withmy mouth, grazing it with my teeth. I kiss the mark. “Mine.” I murmur and bitehis chest. Cole’s hands tangle in my hair, but he doesn’t stop me. His fingersunhook my bra, freeing my breasts. He cups his hands around them, massaginggently; my nipples swell and harden with his loving touch.
“Cookie,” Cole breathes into my neck.
“Hold me, Cole.” I exhale as his handscontinue to pleasure my breasts. He lifts me off him, stands and then picks meup, laying me in bed. I watch him discard his socks and pants and then climbinto bed. He gathers me in his arms, pressing our naked torsos together. I kisshis jaw and neck. “Now I am safe from the outside world,” I whisper as I driftoff to sleep.
CHAPTERSEVEN
“Kate.” Cole’s arms wrap around my waist,and he pulls me back into his warmth. “What’s the matter baby?” he asks,running his nose along my neck, his voice rough with sleep.
“What do you mean?”
Cole clicks the nightstand lamp on, thenrolls me over so I’m facing him. He glides his fingers through my hair, pushingit off my forehead. “You’ve been tossing and turning all night.”
“I know, I’m sorry.”
“Tell me what’s going on in thatbeautiful head of yours?”
I run a hand over my face. “All mythoughts are jumbled. I’m stressed over my mother, Jill, and the rest of myfamily. And… from seeing…” My voice cracks, trailing off.
Cole sits us up, pulling me onto his lapso I’m straddling him. He crushes me to him, so we’re skin to skin. “Kate, I’msorry. I tried to—”
I wrap my arms around his back, laying myhead on his shoulder. “I know, I know.” I graze my teeth along his neck andbite at his jaw. “I don’t want to think about it anymore.” I don’t want tothink about my mother, her crazy surprise, or anyone else sleeping upstairs. Iespecially don’t want to think about some big stupid, ugly brute. I grind myhips into Cole. His cock is already thick and hard between his legs.
“Let me help you forget.” He bites at thejuncture of my neck and shoulder, then kisses across my collarbone. He cups myright breast, squeezing, the pad of his thumb rubbing back and forth across mynipple. He sucks my other nipple into his mouth, flicking his tongue, swirlingit around my sensitive areola. His hands caress down my sides and he dips twofingers between my folds, stroking me.
I rock back and forth against his hand,but I want more. I lift myself up and Cole fits his shaft at my entrance. Islowly slide down his length. Both of us groaning from the exquisite feel ofhim inside me. I tilt my hips forward and he slides deeper. “It feels so goodlike this,” I moan, rocking my hips back and forth and grinding down on him.“You’re so deep. Do you feel it?”
“I feel it. Oh god Kate, you fuck sogood. It’s too good.” His voice is a rough whisper. One of his hands glides upmy chest, giving my breast a rough squeeze before he wraps it around my neck,the back of his fingers gripping my hair at the nape.
His dirty words send a shiver through me.“I have an excellent teacher.” I lift my hips up and before I can slide backdown him, Cole rocks up into me and I cry out. “Oh, yes.” I glide up and down hislength at a languid pace.
Cole’s hands are everywhere. In my hair,cupping my breasts, squeezing my ass, between my legs, wrapped around my back,bringing us closer so our sweat slickened bodies slide against one another.
He whispers, how much he loves me, howgood I feel. How much he likes me on top. “Being inside you feels like home.”He breathes, giving my shoulder a sharp bite, then soothing it with his tongue.
“Kate, look at me.” Cole’s voice isstrained.
“What is it?” I whisper over his lips,then press my mouth to his, sliding my tongue in his mouth, pulling back onlywhen I become breathless.
“I love you so much, Kate. I’m completewith you.” I feel the same way. Cole makes me feel whole. I suddenly realize Iwant to have a traditional wedding with him. Our elopement was wild and crazy.I wouldn’t change it, but I want my family, our friends, everyone to be a witnessas I pledge my love to this man. I want to see the look on Cole’s face as Iwalk down the aisle. I want to see him standing there waiting for me. I don’twant to be rushed as we tell each other and the world how much we love eachother, without the worry that someone will try to stop us.
His words consume me, “Cole… I—I loveyou.” I rake my hands down his back. “I want to be consumed by you.”
He lets out a guttural growl. He grips myhips, laying us down and increasing our pace. His hips thrusting up to meet myown. “Kate, you’re right there. Let go. Come for me.” Cole’s hand is between mylegs again. His fingers finding my slick, swollen bundle of nerves.
I can feel my orgasm building, spreadingup my chest and down my arms, “Anything—anything for you.” And I fall, my bodyshaking as pleasure rushes through me.
Cole grips my hips, controlling the pace.I love the beautiful sounds he makes as he chases his own pleasure. His body istense. I know he’s close. A few more thrusts and I feel him pulse inside me,finding his release. Cole holds me in his arms as our bodies come down from thehigh.
