Free Hard Candy by Jade Buchanan Page A

her legs, she was one big mass of jelly. She didn’t think she would ever be able to move again.
     
    Craig backed up after one last lick against her core, soothing this time instead of inflaming her senses and stared up at her.
     
    Suddenly she was in his arms, and he was striding down the hallway toward the master bedroom.
     
    Without pausing, he dropped her to her feet before pressing her backwards and lowering her to the bed. Stepping away, Craig stared at her laid out in front of him. She resisted her small urge to cover herself and instead just gloried in the heated expression in his eyes.
     
    Craig’s hands went to his belt buckle, releasing his belt and moving to the button at the top of his jeans. He kept his eyes on her as he slowly lowered his zipper, letting the denim fall to his feet before stepping out of them.
     
    She couldn’t breathe as she looked at the hard length of him on display.
     
    He moved away briefly to grab a square of foil from his bedside table. With a winsome grin that had her heart clenching, he smoothed on the condom, watching her face as he did it. He was full of contradictions. This gorgeous man, who made her laugh harder than anyone else, had touched her in places she’d only ever achieved with him.
     
    He moved forward to cover her body, capturing her mouth in a kiss when he pressed her down into the mattress. He ran his hands down her body and took hold of her hips as he ground himself into her softer flesh.
     
    Then he was right where she wanted him, rubbing the head of his cock into her slick folds. They both gasped when he hit the barbell over her clit, and he repeated the motion when she arched up into him.
     
    Craig buried his head in her shoulder as he pressed forward, pushing the length of himself inside her pussy. She moaned at the fullness, he was stretching her in the most delicious way. She brought both knees up to clutch against his waist. He began to pull back, and she gasped, pressing her thighs tight to keep him inside her.
     
    Craig moaned once before he began to drive back into her body. She cried out as she felt herself hurtling toward an explosive orgasm, her body trembling and she held tight to him. She shattered, keening as she threw back her head in abandon. Craig growled, pressing into her once, twice, before joining her in release.
     
    Minutes...hours...days later, she realized she still held tight to Craig. She loosened her arms, moaning softly at how empty she felt without him inside her.
     
    He leaned down to kiss her forehead before moving off the bed to walk to the bathroom. She heard the water come on in the sink and turned to her side to watch the doorway. Within seconds he was back carrying a cloth. He smiled down at her as he pressed the warm washcloth between her legs, soothing her body. When he was done, he returned the cloth to the bathroom, turning off the lights as he made his way back to the bed.
     
    He crawled back into the bed, folding her in his arms as he brought her in close to his chest. She wound her arm around his waist, snuggling into his body, bringing her knee in to press between his thighs. She thought she felt him kiss her head again, but sleep was starting to claim her.
     

Chapter 7
     
     
    Craig inhaled deeply, drawing the scent of Penny deep into his lungs. He lay on his back, hugging her delectable body to him. Her head was lying on his shoulder, and one arm and leg was flung over his body. He held her tightly, not wanting to let go. Because of that, he was aware the second she woke up.
     
    He ran his hand down her back. “Stay.”
     
    “ Craig…”
     
    “ Please. Stay. I don’t know what else to say.”
     
    Penny snuggled in closer to his hold before lifting her head to look him in the eyes. “I don’t know if I can do that.”
     
    “ Why?”
     
    “ It’s too complicated.”
     
    “ Actually, it’s pretty simple. Do you want to stay?”
     
    “ Of course I do.”
     
    Elation filled him. “Then,
