Page 8 of To Seduce A Rake
Positioning his cock at her opening, he ran his hand down her body until he reached her core and slipped two fingers inside. His eyes rolled back in his head from how ready she was for him.
Harrison caught her gaze and stared into her eyes, something unspoken passing between them. Something intense unlike anything he’d ever experienced before. It was a feeling that made him want to protect her and brand her at the same time.Suddenly, the guilt of laying with a virginal miss nagged at him, and his eyes never left hers.
She nodded as if she heard his mental warring. “It’s all right, Harrison. I promise.” She pulled him tight against her, raising her head so their lips touched. “I want this. I need you. Please,” she whispered against his lips.
Unable to deny her anything, he removed his fingers and pushed the head of his cock inside of her. She stiffened beneath him, and he paused. “Just relax. It might hurt this first time, but it shall pass.”
Her eyes clenched shut.
“Look at me, Angel.”
She blinked open her eyes and locked her gaze on his.
“That’s it. Now wrap your legs around me,” he whispered before lowering his lips to brush against hers. “I have you.”
He released a quiet breath when her body relaxed, and she focused on kissing him.
Pushing himself deeper inside of her, he had to practice the most restraint he’d ever shown in his life. As much as he wanted to thrust himself inside of her, he didn’t want to hurt her. More than ever, he wanted the woman beneath him to enjoy herself. To give her the night she wished to remember for the rest of her days. One he would, too, but he pushed that thought aside.
When he was almost completely inside of her, he gave a quick thrust and broke through her maidenhead. She tightened her arms around his neck, kissing him harder.
He pulled back. “Are you all right?” He only hoped he had taken enough care.
She nodded. “I feel like I need something.”
Harrison grinned at her, then withdrew and thrust himself deep inside of her, all the way to the hilt. She released a loud moan.
“Was that it?” he asked, teasing her.
“More,” she begged.
He repeated the action, and she moaned again. “Like that?”
“Don’t stop, Harrison. Please.” Each word was breathy and went straight to his cock.
Almost turning feral, he thrust hard and fast. Increasing his pace to match each of her whimpered moans. “I’ll give you anything,” he ground out.
Her legs tightened around him even harder and he fought to keep from spending. Gripping her hip, he lifted it just slightly, inserting himself as deep as he could.
“Harrison, I’m…”
“Yes,” he replied. “Come for me. Just let go.”
Her core tightened around him, just as she released a series of unintelligible words. Bucking and moaning beneath him, he slowed his movements, hoping to extend her orgasm.
He’d never wanted to come inside of a woman more, to stake his claim, which was something he’d never done. But he couldn’t and wouldn’t. Nor would he allow himself to think about why she made him feel that way.
She went limp beneath him, and he pulled out, rubbing the shaft of his cock along her seam until he spent on her stomach, shooting streams of his spend on her smooth skin.
“What’s that?” she asked.
“That’s what happens when I feel as you do.” He kissed her again. A quick, tender kiss. One that felt like the most natural, comfortable thing in the world to do, which caught him by surprise. She unleashed thoughts, hopes, and dreams, things he’d never allowed himself to consider.
He shifted so that his feet touched the floor again. “Don’t move,” he called out to her as he went to the washbasin to dampen a cloth. Harrison returned to her and gently cleaned her stomach and then between her legs before taking the cloth to himself.
Harrison tossed the cloth to the floor and shifted his attention back to her. Part of him wanted to crawl back into the bed with her and hold her, an act of intimacy he’d shown no one before. And the other part of him knew she’d leave tomorrow and he had no intention of marrying, so doing so would only torture them both.
As he warred with his decision, she scooted off the bed and quickly grabbed her night rail from the floor.
