and his entire body was flushed with arousal. She gazed at him with heavy-lidded eyes, as if she were contemplating what to do with him next.
Gideon let out a broken moan as she slid her hand down his belly and under the edge of the coverlet, and took his straining length into her small hand. His hips gave a helpless thrust, all thought of restraint dissolving as he pushed his cock into her fist.
She sank her teeth into her lip. “May I stroke you?”
Gideon’s battle with his conscience was a brief one. He simply wanted her too much to resist. “Please.” His voice was hoarse.
Her lips parted as she began a slow, languid stroking.
Gideon arched into the caress, which was somehow both too much and not enough at once. “Harder, love, like this.” He closed his hand over hers and showed her how he liked to be touched. “Yes,” he hissed, his hand falling away as her fingers tightened around him, giving him the firm, fast strokes he needed. “Run your thumb over the head,” he begged in a choked whisper.
Cecilia circled the slippery head with a dainty thumb, her cheeks flushed with arousal as she watched him jerk and moan beneath her. “Tell me what you want, Gideon. I want to see you…I love watching you like this.”
Gideon arched his neck, tipping his head back against the pillow as her caresses grew bolder, her firm, slow strokes enough to drive him mad, but not enough to satisfy. It went on for what seemed an eternity to Gideon, one tormenting stroke after another until his chest was sheened with sweat and he was thrashing against the bed, incoherent pleas falling from his lips.
“Come here, love. Yes, like that.” Unable to stand it any longer, Gideon grasped her hips and eased her down on top of him. “Closer, sweetheart, so you’re…ah, God, yes. Yes, Cecilia,” he moaned when she was straddling him, her damp core nudging against his straining cock. “Let me just…”
Cecilia braced her hands on his chest, her breath coming in short gasps as he slid his fingers through her silky folds. “Gideon,” she moaned when his thumb brushed against the aching nub at her center. “Gideon, please,” she panted as he circled and plucked at the sensitive bud.
“So wet, Cecilia. You’re so wet for me.” He rubbed and stroked her until her hips began moving in an insistent rhythm, then he held her steady and positioned her over his throbbing cock. “Come down on me, Cecilia…slowly, sweetheart. Take your time.”
Gideon gritted his teeth as she lowered herself onto him, fighting the urge to thrust into her seductive heat. But he held back, his hands shaking as she took him inside, her mouth opening in wonder as he slid deeper, one torturous inch at a time.
They both sighed when he was seated all the way inside her at last.
Gideon moved his hips in a restrained, shallow thrust, his gaze fixed on her face as he did, gauging her reaction. Her lips parted on a gasp, her body tightening instinctively around him. He thrust upward again, his eyes closing at the hot grip of her body around his cock. “Is it good? I’m not hurting you, am I?”
She shook her head, her eyes dazed as she gazed down at him. “No, I need…do it again.”
Gideon groaned as he thrust into her damp heat, setting an easy rhythm. “Move with me,” he whispered, his hands on her hips guiding her, showing her how to meet his thrusts. “Yes. So perfect, Cecilia.”
Her fingers curled into the slick skin of his chest as she quickened their pace. Gideon surged into her, his climax coiling in the base of his spine, but he held off, fighting against the pleasure that threatened to rush over him. “Take your pleasure, love,” he begged, working his hips against hers.
“Gideon, please, please…” Cecilia let out a cry and closed her eyes, throwing her head back as her release swept over her. Her body clenched around him, the sweet pressure tearing a guttural moan from his lips as his climax pounded through him. He held her tightly against him as they rode out their release.
When Cecilia went limp, sagging against him, Gideon gathered her into his arms and eased her onto her side. He buried his face in the damp hair at the back of her neck and draped a possessive hand around her soft belly. They fell asleep curled around each other, Gideon’s lips pressed to her nape.
They
