right now and make you fall apart on my tongue?”
She couldn’t breathe. Everything he said was too wonderful. She reached up and caressed his head, running her fingers through his hair. She stared into his eyes, afraid to say what she was feeling just then. She feared that somehow, taking this moment anywhere but where it was would ruin it—make it pop like a balloon and never be the same again.
“Destiny, I can see the need in your eyes. Let me love you, sweetheart. Let me show you how good it can be when a man truly possesses a woman. Let me make you crazy with need, then let me satisfy that need. Trust me. I’ll make certain you never regret it.”
Chapter Six
Aside from the air conditioning unit blasting frigid air into the space, the silence around them seemed deafening. Destiny was afraid to speak lest her own voice betray her, so she simply nodded her agreement. Somehow she knew that in this moment, this was the exact right thing.
Ronan kissed her gently, softly exploring her lips with his own. Without words, he slowly asked for more. Pushing her to give him what he needed. His hand moved through her hair, caressing her head. She closed her eyes and gave herself to the moment and to him. Whatever would be in the morning would be, but for the night, she intended only to feel and enjoy.
His body moved, pressing firmly against her. She felt his cock press into her and realized how hard he was. He smelled so good. So clean and fresh, even though there was a darker note as well, something unique and male. As good as he smelled, though, he tasted even better. Her body began to writhe against his as her desire for him grew. She was wet and wanting him desperately, all from a kiss.
“Hold that thought one minute.” He kissed her forehead and moved away from her.
It took her only a moment to realize he’d gone for condoms. It took only a moment for her certainty about what she was doing to leave her. It took only a moment for her to become bombarded with second thought.
“Stop thinking.” He reached down and caressed her cheek. “I’m not playing you. I’m not going to hurt you, and I’m not giving you the chance to take back your yes.”
She watched as he rolled the condom on his very impressive, hard cock. It was long and hard and thick, and in complete honesty, she wanted to feel it inside her immediately. She wanted to feel him atop her again. She smiled softly and reached up to him. He took her hand and kissed each of her fingers before he pushed up her dress and climbed atop her. She felt him pressing hard against her soft opening, and her breath caught.
“Look at me, darlin’. Just look at me.”
She did. She looked into his eyes and saw something there she couldn’t entirely describe, but never wanted to forget. It felt like home.
He placed one hand on the top of her head with his elbow pressed into the bed at her ear, the other arm wrapped around her shoulder as he pushed himself inside her.
All the other times she’d had sex, she always kept her eyes closed, trying to focus, trying to find something about it to enjoy, but not this time. She couldn’t tear her gaze away from his. He stared into her eyes so intently that she felt owned.
She moaned low and deep as she let go of the last of her uncertainty and just surrendered to him.
“Good girl.” He smiled.
She melted.
He began to move at a faster rhythm, his cock was buried deep inside her, and he filled her perfectly. Everything about this was different than anything she’d experienced before, and the knowledge of that filled her with a deep-seated happiness.
“You okay?”
She smiled and nodded. “Blissful.”
He grinned down at her. “That’s pretty good.”
He kissed her mouth and then nuzzled at her neck. Everything he did felt wonderful—until he pulled away from her.
His warmth gone, she lay on the bed staring at the ceiling thinking this was worse than merely unsatisfied. This was tantamount to cruel and
