I watched him as he stared, mesmerized as one finger slipped inside of me. After a few strokes, he added a second finger and pumped harder and faster. I nearly came when he licked his lips.
“I can’t take it anymore.”
When his fingers left me, and he brought them to his mouth, licking and sucking, my body began to hum. “Chase…”
Suddenly, he lowered himself, and his mouth was on me. Guiding my legs over his shoulders, he lifted my ass to position me where he wanted. I moaned when he flattened his tongue and licked his way up to my clit. When he sucked hard and nearly made me finish—even though we’d barely started—I wriggled around, trying to move him from that spot.
Chase gripped my thighs, holding me in place as he devoured me, taking me at his own pace, alternating between his tongue inside of me and sucking hard on my clit. My orgasm hit so hard, I saw nothing but black as it washed over me.
By the time my vision cleared, Chase was back on his knees as he undid his pants. His cock was so swollen, it bulged against the material, making it difficult to pull down the zipper. It was my turn to lick my lips.
He buried his head in my neck and began to suck hard on the sensitive skin below my ear, mimicking what he’d just done to my clit.
“I’m going to apologize now because this isn’t going to be easy,” he said. “I have no restraint left when it comes to you.”
“Do it. I want it that way. All I’ve ever wanted was you. As is.”
Chase didn’t have to be asked twice. He aligned his incredibly swollen head with my opening and covered my mouth with his as he pushed himself inside. Kissing me like I was the air he needed to breathe, he seated himself deep inside of me. I could feel his body shake as he waited for my muscles to relax around him. Then he began to move. Really move—pulling almost all the way out and slamming back in, over and over again.
My nails dug into his back as my body greedily clenched down around him. Each time he withdrew made me want him more and more, until my body was begging for climax.
“Fuck, Reese.” He pulled back enough to look at me. “I want to fill your body with my come. Every part of you. Your pussy, your mouth, your ass. I want to own it all.”
I was helpless as pleasure crashed through me. I heard myself calling his name, but it was more like an out-of-body experience as I throbbed all around him. Distantly, I heard Chase grumble a string of curses as he sank into me deep. Then I felt his amazing body shudder as he released.
Later, my head rested on his chest while I listened to his heartbeat. He stroked my hair as we lay content and sated.
“I really am sorry for the last few weeks,” he said. “I acted like a total asshole.”
I looked up at him, resting my chin on my hand above his heart. “You did. But it’s okay. I forgive you. Well, you’ll be making it up to me for a long time. But my heart has already absolved your sins.”
I was joking, of course, but Chase responded seriously. “Thank you.”
I yawned. “So it was good, old-fashioned jealousy that made you come to your senses, huh? If I’d known that, I would’ve taken Owen out on a hot date weeks ago and saved us both a headache.”
“Actually, seeing you with another man might have pushed me over the edge, but it was something else that made me realize what you meant to me.”
“Oh? What was that?”
“It was a poster. It said Don’t focus on the what ifs. Focus on what is.”
“Meaning focus on what you have and not what could have been?”
He nodded. “Exactly.”
I dropped a kiss directly over his heart, nervous to ask the question, but needing to know the answer. “What do we have, Chase?”
He pulled me up so we were eye to eye. “Everything.”
Epilogue
Reese – Nearly one year later
I wondered if he knew what today was.
Chase didn’t see me immediately when he walked into the restaurant. I was seated in the corner of the bar, partially concealed by a couple sitting at a pub table. I stole the moment to appreciate the beauty of the man without him knowing I was looking. My man. I didn’t think I’d ever get used to how incredibly handsome he was.
You know how after a while even the most amazing things become familiar and you start to forget that the sight once took your breath away? Shiny things lose their luster in our eyes even though they still sparkle? Yeah, well, that never happened to me with Chase Parker. Even after a year to the day, he still took my breath away and sparkled every moment.
