Fuck me. She’d wanted me before she called in the favor?
“I’m thinking you feel the same way,” she said. “And I wish so badly, even if it’s just this once, that you’ll show me what it’s like to be in a normal relationship…to be wanted and desired in the way married couples do.”
Every inch of my ice-cold resolve cracked with her words.
How could I deny her anything?
I’d wanted to claim her as mine since the second she’d walked into my life, and it’d only gotten worse the more I got to know her. There was a courageous, compassionate, fierce woman underneath the shy, guarded exterior she was forced to display to the world, and I loved that she trusted me enough to be herself.
She felt safe enough with me to ask for what she wanted.
And I’d been an asshole denying her at every turn.
I didn’t want to pretend like this was just a favor anymore. Pretend I wasn’t a selfish bastard who didn’t want to consume her the way she consumed my every thought. I’d never been the perfect gentleman, and I’d never be the man worthy of her affection, but in this…I could give her this.
Couldn’t I?
Slowly, I unbuttoned my shirt, sliding it off before tossing it behind me. I dropped my pants next, pride pumping through me at the little hitch in Serenity’s breathing as she watched me lose my boxer-briefs.
My cock sprung free, all hard and on display for her.
“You see what you do to me?” I asked, fisting my length for emphasis. I climbed onto the bed, dipping down to kiss her exposed thigh, then her soft stomach, and higher until I reached her lips.
I took my time with her mouth, feeling her tremble beneath me.
“We don’t have to do this,” I whispered, drawing back enough to meet her eyes. “You’re in control with me, angel. Tell me to stop, and I will.”
“I want you, Gareth,” she whispered back, arching her hips. The silk of her shorts grazed the tip of my dick, and I shuddered. “I’m ready. I trust you. And I know you think I can’t handle you, but I can. Whatever you need from me. I want to give you everything you want.”
Fuck me, this woman. She saw me to the core, knew me so well in such a short amount of time.
“You’re sure?” I asked again, needing utter clarification. It didn’t matter that she’d been begging me to fuck her since before we got married. She was a virgin. I didn’t take that shit lightly.
“I’m sure,” she said without a hint of hesitation.
She reached down between us, using both hands to touch me. I thrust into her soft, delicate hands, barely holding back a groan because it felt so damn good.
“But,” she said, and I immediately locked my body in place above her.
She continued exploring the length of my cock, her touches curious and sweet.
“But?” I asked.
“I don’t know if what I do will be…good for you.” There was an air of worry in her tone that about broke my fucking heart.
I thrust into her hands again. “Everything you do is good for me, Serenity,” I said. “You’re way too good for me, in fact.”
“Stop,” she pleaded.
“There is nothing you could do that would be wrong,” I assured her. “And besides,” I continued. “You’re with me. Don’t you know I’m going to take care of you?”
Excitement flashed in her eyes, and I dipped down, capturing her mouth in mine.
She’d consented, she’d assured me she wanted this, and I was done denying her. It wasn’t in my nature. I was shocked as hell I’d held out this long. There wasn’t anything in the world I wouldn’t do for Serenity, and that fact probably should’ve terrified me, but at the moment, all I could feel was need.
I kissed her until she was breathless, then I moved down to her breasts, first sliding off her top to give me full access. Her shorts were next, leaving her completely bare to me, and I lifted off the bed just enough to get a good look at her.
“Fuck, Serenity,” I said. “You’re so damn beautiful.” I told her that last time, but she needed to hear it again. She needed to know how damn amazing she was every chance I got.
My pulse thrummed hard in my veins, my cock twitching as I worked my kisses down to her pussy. I was more than ready to sink into her, to pump into her until she trembled around me, but this wasn’t the time for quick and hard.
I needed to make sure she was ready.
I licked her from opening to clit, lapping up her flavor like a starved man. I groaned against her warm flesh, relishing the taste of her desire on my tongue. She was already wet, her fingers having started what I would now finish.
