but it was heaven to not have to worry about anything other than being together.
Caroline tightened her grip on Wolf and then slowly opened her eyes and looked up. “Can’t sleep?” she murmured drowsily.
Wolf laughed to himself. It was the middle of the afternoon. He was wide awake and nowhere near tired enough for a nap. “No, go back to sleep, Ice. You’re gonna need it later.”
Not intending his words to excite her, Wolf was pleasantly surprised when they did just that. Caroline shifted until she straddled him. They were eye to eye as he’d been leaning up against the headboard of the bed.
“You’re not tired?” Caroline asked again, this time running her hands over his hard chest as she spoke. Her fingers teased his nipples for a moment before they slipped further down until she could hold him in her hand.
Wolf could feel himself grow hard at the first touch of her soft fingers against him. “Jesus Ice, you’re gonna kill me.”
“But what a way to go, yeah?”
Caroline shifted until she could take Wolf inside, and sunk down on him. Or at least she tried to. Wolf held her hips tight and wouldn’t let her take him fully inside. “Are you ready for me, Ice? I don’t want to hurt you.”
“I don’t want to be crude here, Matthew,” Caroline panted, gripping Matthew’s shoulders tightly as she looked him in the eyes as she spoke, “but I’ve still got your last orgasm inside me. You arouse me just by looking at me with those ‘fuck-me’ eyes of yours. So to answer your question, yeah, I’m ready for you. I’m always ready for you. I’m wet, you won’t hurt me.”
Wolf relaxed his grip and let Caroline drop down on him. She was right. She was soaked. Hot, wet, and tight. “How does this keep getting better and better?”
Caroline treated his question as rhetorical and ignored it. She started moving, not taking her eyes away from her husband’s. “I love you, Matthew.”
Wolf smiled. He’d never get tired of those words. “I love you too, Caroline. Now shut up and take me.”
Twenty minutes later, Wolf smiled again. It seemed he couldn’t stop smiling. They were lying sideways on the bed, the covers were nowhere to be seen, and Caroline was once again snuggled in his arms.
Wolf moved his leg, which had been propped up on the side of the bedframe and shifted higher onto the bed. Caroline groaned. “Hang on, Ice.” Wolf straightened and shifted both himself and Caroline until they were both, once again, lying lengthwise on the bed. Wolf leaned over and snagged a pillow from the floor, where it’d lain forgotten in the midst of their lovemaking. He settled both of them again and sighed.
Wolf heard Caroline breathing deeply and kissed her temple. Her legs were tangled up with his and he could feel the heat of her body seeping into his own. The wet spot under his ass was annoying, but at the thought of what had made that wet spot, he knew he’d suffer though lying there for as long as it took for Caroline to wake up and for them to make another.
Wolf, finally feeling sleepy, thought about what he’d order them for dinner. He wanted to make sure they kept their strength up. They had four more days hidden away from the world. Wolf picked up Caroline’s left hand and admired the rings on her fingers. It made him a caveman, but he loved having his mark on her.
Wolf closed his eyes thinking about his wife. His wife. He never thought he could be so lucky in his life. Before falling asleep, Wolf thought once more about the words to their wedding song. Truer words had never been sung. Caroline was sweet, and he sure as hell was grateful.
