Free Simple Perfection by Abbi Glines Page B

pressed my lips to the taut skin of his lower stomach and started undoing his jeans. He stood there and let me. I was glad there was no resistance or questions. If we were ending this chapter tonight, I wanted it to be perfect.
    I pulled his jeans down with his boxer briefs.
    “Fuck, Della,” he whispered as I licked the tip of his cock. Both of his hands were now buried in my hair as I lowered myself to my knees in front of him. I wanted him to know I loved him. When I was gone I wanted him to know that he was a part of me. That this hadn’t been empty for me.
    “Oh, hell,” he groaned, leaning back against the counter for support as I sank his length into my mouth until it slid into my throat. I loved the way this made him feel. Knowing the trembling in his legs was because of me was a wonderful feeling. He made me tremble all the time. I liked making him tremble in return.
    “That’s so damn good, baby. Your hot little mouth is fucking perfect.” His voice was husky and deep. I reached up and cupped his balls in my hand. He let out a low growl and suddenly I was being jerked up. “Not gonna come in your mouth. Not tonight. I want inside you,” he said, kicking off his jeans and leaving them on the floor before picking me up and walking to the bedroom.
    His hands were on my shorts, jerking them off. I raised my arms and let him pull my top off. My bra and panties went just as quickly.
    “You’re beautiful,” he said as he knelt above me and stared down at my body.
    When I was with him I felt beautiful. “Make love to me,” I told him as I opened my thighs and reached up to pull him down to me.
    “I want to taste you,” he said, stopping me from pulling him down farther.
    “I want you inside me,” I replied.
    “Don’t care. I want a taste first.” His crooked grin warmed my heart. I’d let him have whatever he wanted.
    “Okay,” I replied as he lowered himself until his head was between my thighs.
    His lips brushed the sensitive skin on the insides of my legs as he trailed kisses, switching from one leg to the other until the heat of his breath touched my tender flesh. I shuddered and grabbed handfuls of the sheets underneath me just before his tongue slipped inside of me and then moved up to my clit.
    I cried out his name until I came against his mouth. Every single flick of his tongue had taken me farther under the wave of pleasure that overtook me.
    As I gasped to get air into my lungs, he filled me in one swift move. I lifted my knees and pressed them to his ribs. “I love you, Della. I love you so much, baby. So damn much,” he said with a hoarse voice full of emotion. It was as if he knew this was it for us. That tomorrow wouldn’t come. This was the end. I fought back the tears clogging my throat and grabbed his face so that I could kiss him. I couldn’t talk. I didn’t trust myself to talk. I showed him how much I loved him with my mouth.
    With each thrust I lifted my knees and cried out. He never stopped telling me how much he loved me. It was a chant as we both climbed to our release.
    “ Woods! ” I screamed his name in ecstasy as the world blurred.
    He held me to his chest as he jerked inside of me. My name was a strangled cry from his chest as he shuddered against me.
    Our chapter was over. It was the most beautiful chapter in my life. I knew I’d had the happy ending way before it was time and now I had to live the rest of the story without him. It wasn’t the way life was supposed to be, but it was my life. And I’d had Woods in it. That made it all okay.

    Woods had kissed my head, telling me to sleep late. He had an early meeting and I could come to work when I was ready. I had pretended to be sleepy and nodded, keeping my head buried in the pillow to hide my tears. When the door clicked behind him I turned over and stared at the ceiling.
    My heart had just walked out that door.
    I moved without thought as I showered and dressed. I boxed up the things I would be shipping
