She obeys, and I trace my fingers up her smooth calf with deliberate slowness, savoring every inch.Her readiness for me makes my body throb with need, but I force myself to take my time.By the time I reach her upper thighs, her breathing has turned to desperate pants.I stretch out beside her, watching her face as I explore higher, deliberately avoiding where she wants me most.
"Cole, release me.Let me touch you."
"Not happening, sweetheart."I draw lazy circles around her navel before pulling my hand away, loving how she arches toward my touch.
Her lips part on a gasp."Touch me...I need you."
Taking a strand of her golden hair between my fingers, I let it slip through them like silk before claiming her mouth in a tender kiss.
"I need you too, Alex.More than I ever thought possible."
She swallows hard, her eyes growing bright with emotion.I turn away to reach under the bed, smiling at her curious sound.
"What are you doing?"
I pull out the metal bowl, chuckling at how her nostrils flare when she sees it."What is that?"She lifts her head to peek inside as I set it beside her.Her pupils dilate, lips curving into a dazzling smile that makes my heart skip.I place a few condoms on the bed before selecting a ripe strawberry, holding it above her.
"Bite," I command softly.
Juice trickles down her chin as she sinks her teeth into the fruit."You're spilling, sweetheart."I lean down to lick the sweetness from her skin, and she surprises me by capturing my mouth when I reach her lips.We lose ourselves in a playful game of give and take, her moans of pleasure driving me wild with need.
The warm spring breeze drifts over us, carrying the salt scent from our makeshift beach.Creating this sanctuary wasn't easy, but seeing Alex's joy made every effort worth it.Her body responds to my touch with complete trust - something I know didn't come easily after her past.The knowledge that I'm the only man who can touch her without triggering fear makes my chest tight with emotion.If I could erase her trauma, I would.But since I can't, I'll spend every moment showing her how precious she is.
Breaking our kiss, I select another strawberry, taking a bite before trailing the remaining half over her nipples.Juice trickles down her chest, and I follow its path with my tongue.Her rose-tipped peaks harden under my attention, her soft moans urging me on.
"You and strawberries are a heavenly combo, darling."
The sun warms our skin as I worship her body, every response telling me she's lost in the sensations.Her complete surrender, her absolute trust - it does things to me I never expected.Each gasp, each tremor shows me she's letting go of her fears, giving herself over to pleasure.
My fingers trail down her stomach to her core, and the needy sound she makes when I touch her sends fire through my veins.I work her with precise movements, but when I feel her getting close, I pull back.Her head shoots up, eyes flashing.
"Cole, I swear, if you don't touch me, I will kill you when you untie me."
I smile at my passionate woman, all fire and need."Oh, my little angelic devil is getting impatient."
"Yes," she groans."And if you don't pleasure my clit, at least spank my ass."
Jesus Christ.She knows exactly how to push me to the edge.In one smooth motion, I flip her onto her stomach, drawing a surprised squeal from her lips.
"On your knees, love.Support yourself on your arms."
She obeys, but true to her devilish nature, she taunts me by swaying her hips.The sight of her perfect curves nearly breaks my control.I deliver a sharp smack to her cheeks, and her whimper of pleasure almost undoes me.When she arches her back further, peeking at me over her shoulder, I gather her hair gently, tucking it behind her ear.
"Have you any idea how special you are, Alex?"
The words come from deep in my soul as I position myself behind her.Her mouth falls open on a gasp as I worship her with my tongue, my hands kneading her flesh.Every response, every sound she makes tells me she's mine, just as I'm completely hers.
"These curves drive me wild," I growl.
She pushes back against me, grinding against my hardness."Cole, please...fill me."
Those words, that need in her voice - my control snaps.I grab a condom, sheathing myself quickly.Positioning myself, I make eye contact with her.
"Is this what you want?"I tease her entrance, coating myself in her wetness.
"Yes, I need you deep inside me."
One long, hard thrust and I'm home, her body welcoming me like she was made for me alone.The sun bathes us in warmth as we move together, climbing higher."Sweet Jesus, Alex."I grit my teeth as she rocks back against me, taking what she wants.This woman, so fierce in her passion, so unafraid to demand her pleasure, she amazes me.
