A Most Excellent Midlife Crisis - Robyn Peterman Page 0,41

and swollen and every other part of me felt like a live wire. My body rocked as Gideon took me to heights I didn’t know existed. Fisting his hair in my hands, I let the moment take me.

I screamed as an orgasm overwhelmed me. My entire body clenched with intense pleasure. I rode out the aftershocks as Gideon moved back up my body with an expression of smug male pride written all over his beautiful face.

“That was nice?” he asked with a smirk.

I shrugged and bit my bottom lip so I wouldn’t grin like a fool. “It was okay,” I teased.

“Guess I’ll have to try again and do better this time,” he said, raising an amused brow.

“That might kill me dead,” I whispered, tracing his lips with my finger. “It was… I’ve never… It was perfect. Sex is so much fun.”

“It’s supposed to be,” he said, shaking his head and grinning. “When it’s with someone you love, it’s far more than just sex.”

This was the way it was supposed to be. I just didn’t know it until now. “I want to touch you.”

“That can be arranged,” he said, rolling off of me and lying on his back.

I was a kid in a candy shop… or rather, a woman with an extreme sweet tooth in an x-rated candy shop. My excitement was obvious and Gideon’s delight made me bold.

His hissed intake of air as I took him in my hand and stroked him made me giddy.

“Good?” I asked, watching every nuance of expression on his face.

“Perfect,” he ground out as his body moved in rhythm with my touch. “Gonna need those condoms very soon.”

“How soon?” I asked, leaning forward and putting my mouth where my hand had been.

“Now,” he said, lifting me off of him and frantically grabbing the box.

Watching him put on the condom was as much of a turn-on as every other move he made. No awkwardness. No annoyance that he had to wear it. While I was sure I would find a few faults here and there, I was pretty dang sure none of them would be in the bedroom department.

“You ready, Angel Eyes?” he inquired, looking like he wanted to eat me whole.

“Are you, Demon Boy?” I challenged.

“I’ve waited my whole damned life to make love to someone I love. This will be a first for me.”

His words humbled me, and my entire body tingled. I caved into my instincts and tackled him. His surprised grunt was followed by a laugh as he flipped me over and pinned me beneath him.

“You win,” I gasped out.

“We win,” he corrected.

The mood went from silly to serious on a dime. My body ached with desire. I arched my back and opened my legs. I wanted all of him—mind, body and soul. His eyes blazed red and I met his intense gaze head on. The intimacy was almost too much, but I was going into this with my eyes wide open.

“I’m in love with you, Daisy,” he said in a tone that made me shiver with happiness.

“And I’m in love with you, Gideon.”

Taking him in my hand, I led him exactly where I wanted him to be. Nothing had ever felt so right. Our kisses became frenzied and with one swift thrust, we joined.

“You good?” Gideon asked, barely able to restrain himself, but needing to know I was with him.

“Yessss,” I hissed, undulating beneath him. “More.”

And my wish was granted.

The speed of his thrusts increased and I bucked wildly beneath him as we careened toward an orgasm so intense it would probably kill us—well, not him since he was Immortal. However, if I had to go, this was one hell of a way to do it.

My gaze locked on his and the vulnerability I felt from him overwhelmed me. His eyes were wild and the sounds he made went all through me. I now knew what it meant to love completely—to be one with another person. The Grim Reaper was mine, and I was his.

“Come with me,” he demanded.

And I did.

We both cried out and color burst behind my tightly closed eyes. My back arched and a jolt of pleasure radiated through my entire body. Orgasm number two overcame me and a scream flew from my lips. I trembled and clenched him inside me as I rode out the waves. As soon as it ebbed another took hold, and I wrapped my legs around his waist and moaned.

“Gorgeous,” he whispered as he kissed me with such passion I thought I might
