“Is that okay?”
“Is it okay if I hold you in my arms while we sleep?” he counters.
“Always, Mer.”
“Exactly. Come on, baby, let’s go to bed.”
Together we walk through the house, shutting everything down, making sure the lights are off and the doors are locked. When we get to his room, he turns on the lamp on the nightstand. Without a word, he grabs the hem of my tank top, and I lift my arms for him, letting him undress me.
Tears feel like fire burning behind my eyes, because this is our moment. Finally. I can feel it. This is the moment I give everything I am to this man. Just in time for me to have to walk away. I blink back my tears, focusing on what’s happening between us.
Once I’m stripped bare, I do the same to him. Neither one of us has said a word, but we don’t need to. We’re letting our actions speak for themselves. Merrick slides a large, calloused hand behind my neck and angles for a kiss.
I meet each of his lazy strokes of his tongue with one of my own. We’re not in a hurry, regardless of the way my pulse is racing and the butterflies that are having a party in my gut. We’re both content to take our time. I don’t know why he’s taking it slow, but for me, I want to savor this. My first time making love to Merrick Kincaid. I can’t help but wonder if it will also be my last.
Breaking our kiss, Merrick trails his lips along my neck. I shiver at the contact of his lips against my skin. His hands are everywhere as he lavishes me with kisses. When he reaches my breasts, he tests their weight in his palms before swirling his tongue over my nipple and sucking it gently into his mouth. He nips with his teeth and soothes the pain with his tongue. All I can do is bury my hands in his hair and hold on for the ride I’m certain this is about to be.
He moves to the other breast and I can’t take it. I need to touch him too. Keeping one hand buried in his hair, I drop the other to palm his cock. He hisses a breath but otherwise says nothing as he continues nipping and sucking at my breasts.
I don’t know how long we’ve been standing here, fondling one another. It could be seconds. It could be hours. I’ve lost all track of time. Nothing exists to me but the man with his mouth and hands all over my body.
He stands to his full height, but I don’t stop stroking him. His hands frame my face, and he stares into my eyes. I melt under his gaze. I’d give anything for him to look at me like this for the rest of forever.
“I want to make love to you,” he says huskily. “Will you let me, baby? I don’t have the words, but I want to show you. Let me show you.” There’s a plea in his tone, but it’s wasted on me. I’d never deny him anything.
“Please.”
His mouth descends on mine, and he kisses me so deeply that my tears threaten to make themselves known once again. He bends and lifts me into his arms, bridal style, and I squeak out my surprise, making him chuckle.
“I got you, baby. Always.” He carries me a few short steps to the bed and places me in the center. He drops a peck of a kiss on my lips before standing and reaching for the nightstand drawer.
“Merrick.”
He stops and his eyes find mine.
“Nothing between us.”
He smiles. “My girl is telling me what she wants. Are you protected, baby?”
“I’m on the pill, but you knew that. And I’m negative. It’s been over a year since I’ve been with anyone, and my last check-up was six months ago.”
He nods. “I did know you were on the pill, but I had to ask. I’m negative too. Been about the same time for me, and I had my annual physical at the beginning of the year.”
“And if I wasn’t on the pill?” The words are out before I can think better of it. “Pregnancy is a concern always. Nothing is one-hundred-percent,” I remind him.
“I’m not sure I would care. I’ve never gone bare, and the thought of being inside you with nothing between us is a craving I didn’t know I had until this moment.”
“I’ve never either.” I smile because I’m sure he guessed that. “I want it to be you.”
“This changes things.”
My heart skips. Does this mean he’s going to tell me he wants us to stay real?
“Okay.”
He gives me a soft smile, and I’m certain there’s something in his eyes that looks a lot like love, but I could just be seeing what I want to see. Maybe I’m projecting my feelings to see them in his eyes.
“There she is.” He smiles softly. “Baby, I know I’m not going to last when I feel your warm pussy milking my cock. That means I need you to come for me before we get to the finale. Just in case.”
