Page 97 of Chasing the Sun

When he skimmed a finger along her damp seam, she forgot what she was going to say.

“Never mind. Just keep going.”

He chuckled, his warm breath fluttering against her neck, his hand wreaking havoc inside her panties. When he slipped a finger inside her, she moaned and pushed back against his hips.

She kept thinking he’d stop to remove her panties and his clothes too, but he continued to tease, drawing tight circles around her throbbing bud while plucking a nipple at the same time. Soon the barrage of sensations overtook her, and she clenched around his hand chasing her release.

“I’ve got you. Just let go,” he whispered.

Her climax ripped through her—her enthusiastic cries too loud for being in a hotel room. He continued to stimulate her until the last shudder, holding her upright as her limbs went limp. Then he guided her to lie down on the bed, which she was happy to do since she felt too weak to stand.

“Take off your thong,” he demanded, his eyes hooded and his voice husky.

He remained standing as he watched her slide the silky material down her legs and then toss it aside. Once she was naked, she propped herself up on her elbows to watch him undress, figuring it was only fair.

He seemed happy to have her attention, and he kept his eyes locked on hers while he slowly removed each article of clothing. When he’d stripped down to the pair of black boxer briefs she’d packed for him, she sucked in her bottom lip, and he groaned.

“God, I love it when you do that,” he said. Then he made quick work of peeling off his underwear, his erection springing forth to greet her. He started to climb up on the bed, but then he paused. “Did you pack…”

She nodded. “In the zipper compartment of your bag.”

He strolled naked across the room to retrieve a condom while she admired every inch of his lean, hard body.

“What do you think about going on the pill?” he asked as he rolled on the condom.

“I think it’s a good idea.” She hadn’t been on birth control before because she hadn’t been in a relationship that warranted it. This man was worth it, though.

“Good, because there’s nothing I’d like more than to be inside you bare.”

The way he said it as he crawled over her made her toes curl.

“I’d like that too,” she managed just before his lips crashed down on hers.

This time, his kisses were more intense, and he nudged his erection between her thighs, seeking relief that she was happy to provide.

She slipped a hand between them and clasped his erection, stroking it a few times before guiding him inside. He stopped kissing her to look down and watch himself disappear until they became as close as two people could get, at least physically.

She expected him to start moving, but instead, he gazed down at her, his deep brown eyes sparkling and his mouth split into a wide smile.

“Thank you for loving me.”

She reached up and cupped his face. “I’ll love you forever if you let me.”

He nodded and touched his forehead to hers.

Then he began to move, and she wrapped her legs around his hips, opening herself up to him more than she ever had. Before, she’d given him her body, but now she gave him her heart and soul as well, and she’d never felt more confident or cherished or loved.

It wasn’t long before his body tensed and his thrusts quickened. If she’d thought he was beautiful before, he was even more so when he tipped back his head and shouted out her name. Afterward, they lay curled up, kissing, caressing, and loving on each other some more.

At some point, they fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was after midnight. She patted the empty space beside her and sat up with a start.

“I’m right here,” he said.

It was dark in the room, the only light coming in through a crack in the curtains. He was sitting on the chair with his feet propped up on the bed and a pillow on his lap.

They’d fallen asleep naked, and she didn’t bother covering herself. “What are you doing?”

“Would it sound creepy if I said watching you sleep?”
