Page 21 of Theirs to Treasure

“They sag.” He could barely hear her above the roaring in his ears.

Sam reached out and cupped both of her breasts. They seemed the perfect size in his big hands. “You’re gorgeous, Baby.”

She whimpered. “You’re lying.” Again, her voice was just a puff of air. She tried to cover herself, but he wasn’t having any of it.

His thumbs brushed over her nipples and she moaned, her head tipped backwards.

He smelled the earthy scent of her arousal. She was going to kill him.

“Let’s get you on the bed.” He stepped her backward, two steps. Before she could fall backwards, he captured her, his right hand slipping behind her back and helping her to a seated position. “There you go.”

Then he lowered her so that she was lying before him, her feet touching the floor. He knelt in front of her, and she pushed up on her elbows. His fingers traced the panel of her panties, squeezing past her clenched thighs.

He looked up at her. Was she ready for this? He didn’t want to go too fast. Oh, who was he kidding—he wanted to go at supersonic speed. But Josie was too important. So, he searched her expression and saw wonder on her face, and he smiled.

He traced her full thighs, loving how soft she felt under his hands. She trembled at his caress.

“It’s so bright,” she said. Finally, she wasn’t whispering.

“I know it is, and I love it. All the better to see the treasure in front of me. Are you ready for more?” he asked.

She slowly nodded.

“I need the words.”

“Yes, Sam.”

His hands gripped the sides of her panties and drew them off her body, leaving her naked.

“Spread your legs for me, Josie.” It was the most decadent request anybody had ever made of her. She hesitated, and then relaxed her thighs. She quivered, and Sam must have noticed it too, because he ran soothing hands up and down her legs, murmuring sounds of approval. With every gentle stroke, he nudged her thighs a little farther apart until Josie whimpered as she felt the warm air of the bedroom waft against the petals of her heated sex.

“Sam.” Just Sam. Was she pleading for reassurance, or to stop? She didn’t know, only that this was the most intimate moment she’d ever felt, as if he held her life in his hands.

He spoke.

“You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known. Realizing that you’ve chosen to share yourself with me,” he paused. “I’m humbled.”

She blinked back tears.

Emotion rolled into passion as Sam’s hands slid upward. She watched as his thumbs tangled in her dark curls, and then she felt him trace the seam of her sex. He bent forward until she felt his breath against her intimate lips. She held her breath. Waiting. Waiting.

When his tongue touched her, Josie arched off the bed, the sensation almost unbearably good. He took his time, long languid licks up and down, coaxing her open to an even more intimate caress. Vaguely she heard herself moan. Desperately she wanted to watch this decadent foray into bliss, but her elbows lost all power as she flopped down on the bed and lost herself in wondrous sensation.

“Aaaah,” she groaned deeply as one of his fingers enter her tight channel. Her head shot up off the mattress when his warm lips enveloped her clit.

“Sam,” she screamed breathlessly. When he flicked his tongue, she begged him not to stop, then wailed when he did.

“I could do this all night.” His voice sounded like a dream come true.

He inserted a second finger and she covered her eyes with the crook of her arm. She was drawn into a vortex of need and pleasure that had never been seen, felt or heard of in the universe before. Colors sparked behind her eyes as his tongue circled more insistently against her clit. Josie climbed higher than physically possible. Sparks flew as she exploded into a newly created cosmos.

“Josie…?” Arms circled her. She was under the covers of her bed, a warm body wrapped around her. “Honey, are you all right?” She looked up and realized that Sam was the warm body surrounding her, and she cuddled closer.

“I’m perfect,” she murmured drowsily. Sam helped her to a sitting position and put a glass of water to her lips. “Here, Baby, drink this.” Josie couldn’t believe how thirsty she was. After she was finished, she thought about the fact that she was under her covers, and she had no knowledge of when Sam had gotten the water.

“When did you get that? Why don’t I remember?” she asked, embarrassed.
