with his. The subtle dart of his tongue against mine, slowly moving back and forth was electrifying in its simplicity. As he explored the dark recesses, he took his time.
I was thrown by the dazzling mix of vibrations threading through us, much more intense than before, the power shared unequaled. I’d never known the feeling of being one with a man, but we were stronger together than apart.
The thought left me mystified.
Rafael finally crushed his mouth over mine, his animalistic growls exactly what I was used to. The passion roared, our desire swelling to a pinnacle until I knew he would have difficulty holding back. The moment he fisted my hair, yanking my head away from his, everything around us slipped into slow motion.
“I can’t wait to be inside of you.” He took long strides as he entered the house, only taking the time to lock the door before heading into one of the bedrooms.
Very gingerly he eased me onto the bed, immediately crawling us both to the center. The savage hunger he felt was exposed through every bulging vein, muscles that were tenser than before. How does a predator not consume his prey?
I wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling him down. I wanted the weight of his body on mine, the feel of his hot breath skipping over every inch of me.
“There will be no turning back,” he said almost casually, as if there was no question that I now belonged to him and would for the rest of our lives.
“I know.” The words were said easily and in that moment I gave up my past, turning another page on my life. I couldn’t live without him any more than he could without me. He was my rock, my protector, and my master, and I was desperately in love with him. Whatever horrors we’d be forced to face we would do so together.
Whether it was relief or surprise pulsing through his eyes, I couldn’t be certain but when he crawled between my legs, there was no denying this coupling was all about love.
He lifted one of my legs over his hips then the other before sliding the tip of his cock past my aching folds. For the first time, I noticed the dimple in his chin, the dark stubble covering a portion of his face unable to hide the beautiful detail. He held his stance, his eyes almost iridescent as he watched me, no doubt looking for my reaction.
I eased my hand to his face, delicately tracing the scar that had been a badge of a different kind of honor. This time, he didn’t flinch. The feel of him was amazing, the current flowing between us searing every nerve ending. As much as I wanted him to fill me with his seed, I enjoyed the slow passage of time, being allowed to explore him in an entirely different way.
“You are truly mine,” he whispered. “I will protect you always.”
“Shhh...” I placed my finger over his lips, moving my head from side to side. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Rafael. Let’s enjoy what we have here and now.”
A slow breath escaped his mouth as he rose onto his elbows, sliding his shaft all the way inside. He threw his head back, issuing the most seductive growl, but one laced with pain. He knew he couldn’t keep me safe, at least not every minute of the day, but I believed what he’d said before.
He would die trying.
I continuously ran my fingertips up and down his back as he pumped into me in gentle strokes, taking his time to enjoy instead of simply taking. His eyes never left me, so dark and pensive, riddled with more questions than answers.
My pussy muscles ached as he filled me, yearning for more. I gripped his arms as he began to rock into me, lifting his hips in more aggressive motions. Then the desire exploded between us, the hunger off the charts.
He thrust harder, driving into me with wild abandon. For him, it was as if tomorrow might not happen.
I clung to him, locking my feet together, my body already tensing in anticipation of a climax. I was so wet, scalding hot, my breath skipping as I raked my nails down his back. His brusque growls only further fueled my primal needs, pushing me closer to the edge of pure ecstasy.
Rafael was like a barbarian, every thrust more savage than the one before, his eyes black as night.
“Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.” The syllables
