Free A Safe Pair of Hands by Ann Corbett

whispered, as she reached up and wrapped her arms
around his neck, to pull his head down, so that she could kiss
him.
    Nick simply savoured this surprised pleasure of a kiss that
she had instigated. For long moments he simply savoured her, and
her warm contact.
    For long moments he allowed her to keep control.
    But it could not last. He could not hold back.
    With a soft groan, he scooped her up into his arms, and gently
placed her onto one of the beds.
    He sensed that she was still nervous, and after everything
that she had been through – in her marriage, he could hardly blame
her.
    He knew that if he hesitated, then she might reconsider, and
oh how he hoped that she would not change her mind.
    Even as he placed her on the bed, he followed down after
her.
     
    She was wrapped in just a short damp towel, and he was fully
clothed, but even so he felt right to her.
    This whole situation felt right to her.
    She wrapped her arms back around his neck, and pressed her
lips to his, and she felt the tremble that rippled down
him.
    He was nothing like Rick. Nick would never do anything to hurt
her. She smiled softly. “I love you,” she whispered against his
mouth.
    *
    Her words had been like magic to Nick; and the rush of emotion
which he had felt when she had whispered those three little
words.
    His eyes had flown open to look deeply into hers.
    His lips had stilled against hers for a moment, but only for a
moment.
    He pressed his mouth harder to hers as he pulled off his
clothing. A new sense of urgency seemed to possess him, as he
tugged her towel from her, and began to kiss her skin. His naked
flesh was rubbing against hers, and he could hear the soft groans
that bubbled at the back of her throat.
    He knew that she was as excited as him, that she was as ready
for him as he was for her.
    “ I'm sorry, I just can't wait for you any longer,” he muttered
as he gently nudged her legs apart.
    “ No,” she murmured, and for one awful moment he thought that
she was refusing him, rejecting him, but her eyes opened wider as
they fixed squarely onto his. “No, don't wait; I don't want you to
wait either, Nick!”

    Making love to Sadie was the most amazing thing that Nick had
ever experienced. She was warm and sensual, and so incredibly
responsive to his touch.
    When he had first entered her, sliding in with one easy
thrust, she had stretched and then closed around him in a warm
embrace.
    She gave a soft gasp, and Nick paused with concern, had he
hurt her?
    But her arms wrapped around his neck as she smiled up at
him.
    She lifted herself up to kiss him, and her hips rose as well
to draw him deeper into her.
    “ I won't break, Nick... I want you too much, so don't be timid
with me.”
    Her challenge went straight to his groin, wiping away any
thoughts and concerns, but seeking only gratification, for him as
well as for her.
    He had ached for Sadie for too long to be able to take things
slow, and her words told him that she didn't want it like that
either.
    He began a steady thrust and draw back motion, which had Sadie
bucking her hips in unison.
    The motion picked up speed and intensity very quickly though,
and as Nick lowered his shoulder to the bed, so that he would not
crush her, his free hand began a fevered exploration of her
body.
    He stroked and squeezed, and finally as his hand brushed
against her nipple, he moved enough so that he could draw it into
his mouth.
    Sadie went rigid beneath him. “Oh Nick!” she gasped as she
shook and trembled through her first orgasm with him.
    It was enough to send Nick over the edge as well, as he pushed
deeper into her, and then held himself there as his warm fluids
flooded into her.
    Sadie did not think that she would ever feel cold
again.
    As long as Nick was close to her, she would always be warmed
by him, by his touch, by his smell – by the very idea of him in her
life, she would never feel lonely, never feel cold
again.
