Once Bitten, Twice Dead - By Bianca D'Arc Page 0,121

big body pinning her to the bed as she rode the wave to its conclusion and began to drift. But he wouldn’t let her go far. He reeled her back in, moving those talented fingers lower, to slide within her sheath.

She gasped at the new sensation. Xavier moved, seating himself between her splayed thighs. He had an unobstructed view of her most intimate places, but she didn’t care. He was the master of her pleasure, the man who knew her like no other—body, heart and soul.

“Now for the turnabout,” he muttered, sliding downward until his mouth was level with her pussy. He licked out, touching her clit briefly as his fingers began to move within her. “You like that, kitten?”

“Oh, yeah,” she moaned as he did it again. A quick little lick that set her senses reeling.

“I can see you do. Probably as much as I liked you licking me.”

Realization dawned. That’s what he meant by “turnabout” this time. Given her scattered wits, she’d been a little slow to realize what he was getting at. The man had a powerful effect on her. It was hard to think straight when he made love to her. And she loved the way he gave as good as he got each and every time.

“I see you figured out my game.” Satisfaction lit his handsome face. “What do you think of my tactics?”

“Very clever, Captain.” She reached downward to stroke his cheek as he hovered over her midsection. “I never thought I could love anyone as much as I love you.” The words slipped out before she could censor the sappy thought. She wasn’t normally given to such outbursts, but Xavier had changed all the rules where her heart was concerned.

To her relief, he grinned. “I couldn’t agree more, mon ange. Now let me show you just how much I love you.”

He pinned her in place with his gaze as he took his place between her thighs. He pushed inward, making them one as her breath sighed out on a soft moan. He felt so good. She’d never tire of the sensations he brought her.

He increased his pace as he held her gaze and she saw the love in his eyes. She knew it was reflected in her own. She’d never felt so connected to another person—physically, emotionally, even spiritually. She’d faced death with this man at her side. She’d found the courage to face the future with him as well. And he with her.

“I love you, Xavier,” she whispered as he brought her higher. The passion seemed to flare between them as he moved more urgently within her.

“You and me, babe,” he whispered as he lowered his chest over hers, surrounding her completely with his presence. He was close now to the climax that chased her as well.

She wanted to come with him, completing the circle between them.

“Say you’re mine, Sarah. I’ll never tire of hearing it.”

His mouth rubbed over her cheek and neck in a hot slide that made her insides quiver as he brought her higher.

“I’m yours,” she readily admitted. She felt the truth of those words in her heart and her soul. “And you’re mine.”

He pulled back slightly to meet her gaze. A slow grin spread across his face as they both approached the peak at the same time.

“I’m yours, chère,” he breathed as his muscles tightened in preparation for ecstasy. “Now and forever.”

His words, spoken like a vow, triggered the maelstrom between them. She cried out, her jaw working in tight spasms as her abdomen clenched and her core tightened around him, gripping him as he pushed her to the stars.

She felt his body seize under her palms as his muscles tightened and his cock pressed deep inside, holding there as he emptied his tribute into her greedy body. She wanted everything he had to offer. Everything he was. She’d take it all and give back everything she had inside her. Everything they could be together. For him. All for him.

She’d never felt more complete or more fulfilled, both as a woman and as a person, than when she was with him. They shared a perfect moment of shared bliss that was over all too soon. He held her in the aftermath, cuddling her close and placing soft kisses on her face and hair.

“I love you more than life, chère.” His rough whisper filled her heart to overflowing.

“Me, too, Xavier. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”

He chuckled. “Right after the worst thing that ever happened to
