just been a while.” And he was bigger than any of her other lovers. Not wanting to feed his ego or bring up the men in her past, she kept the thought to herself. “Just give me a minute.”
He slipped one of his arms under her neck and lowered his mouth to hers. The kiss was slow and patient, filled with tenderness. She soaked it in like a sponge. She wanted this to be more than just an intense affair, needed the surreal promises of soul-bonding to be true. She was tired of searching for Mr. Right, tired of being disappointed and betrayed. She needed a partner who would try as hard as she did, someone who would love only her.
His hips pulled back slowly and Jaron slipped his free hand between their still-joined bodies. One of his fingers or maybe his thumb pressed against her clit as he pushed deep again. The added pressure felt odd, stimulating in a way to which she wasn’t accustomed. She moaned, holding still as he drew almost out of her snug passage.
Come for me. As if to ensure she obeyed his thumb began to rub, circling her clit with a steady rhythm as his hips rocked. His cock slid in and out, filling her completely with each stroke.
She buried her hands in his hair and abandoned herself to the kiss. She wanted the joining to go on forever, but it just felt too damn good. She tilted her hips, taking him deeper. Pressure gathered beneath her clit, a tingling spiral of sensation that forecast the building storm.
His thumb switched to a back and forth motion and the coil inside her sprang free. She cried out sharply arching her back as her core convulsed around his surging length. Pleasure pulsed through her, surging outward from where their bodies merged.
He moved both hands to the bed and released the stranglehold on his desire. His pelvis slapped against hers fast and hard, his cock staking its claim on her wet center. She hadn’t realized how much he was holding back until he let go. She drew her legs up along his sides holding on to his upper arms while he frantically drove them toward mutual pleasure.
Flashes of emotion and sensation surged into her mind. Her body was humming, rapidly building toward another orgasm, but his was an inferno of demanding need. She’d never felt what her lover was feeling, never dreamed such a thing was possible. It was dizzying and disconcerting. How did he control emotions this intense?
Rocking back onto his knees, he grasped her hips and pulled her lower body up off the bed. She gasped, momentarily alarmed by his aggression. He filled her fast and hard, tension contorting his features. A strangled cry tore from his throat and his head dropped back as his full length drove into her one last time.
His pleasure pulsed across their mind-length as his hot seed splashed her inner walls. She moaned, shaking as her own pleasure combined with his. He collapsed over her, catching most of his weight on his forearms but driving his cock even deeper into her still-spasming body. The sensations went on and on, staggering and disorienting. She clung to him, wrapping her legs loosely around his hips.
He kissed her tenderly as she drifted back to reality. She blinked her eyes open as he raised his head and smiled at her.
“Wow, were they right!” Nikki whispered still feeling sort of befuddled.
He brushed her hair back from her face, his gaze warm with affection. “Who was right about what?”
“Natalie and Kara. They said this would be different and it was. Incredibly different.”
His only response was a contented smile as he rolled them to their sides and gently separated their bodies. They snuggled for a long time. In fact, Nikki had started to drift off to sleep when he said, “There is more going on in Ghost City than Lake Walker Village, more opportunities. You might be happier if we settle there.”
The comment was so out of nowhere that it made her immediately suspicious. “What made you bring this up now?”
He hesitated, his body tensing against hers. “You said you wanted to be a child psychologist. How far did you get in your training before Geoff convinced you to leave?”
She started to answer then tensed. “I told Kara and Natalie about Geoff, not you. Were they only asking about my past so they could tell you what they learned?” And why the ploy? If he wanted to
