Two sharp slaps land on my rear, the sting spreading across my skin like wildfire.My breath catches, pleasure coiling tight in my core as I teeter on the precipice of release.
A guttural sound rumbles from his throat as my muscles flutter around him.His muscled arm snakes around my chest, hauling me upright until my shoulder blades press flush against his sweat-slicked torso.His ragged breaths sear my neck, setting every nerve ending on fire.My fingers tangle in his damp hair, tugging gently
"C-Cole!"
"You're mine," he rasps against my skin, over and over.
His calloused fingers slide down, finding that sensitive bundle of nerves.He circles it with practiced precision while his hips snap forward relentlessly.Lightning sparks through my body, every nerve ending blazing white-hot.His name tears from my throat as pleasure detonates within me, my vision blurring at the edges.Ecstasy pulses through my bloodstream, my mind spinning into sweet nothingness.
"That's it, Alex.Ride it out."He stills, his arms like steel bands around me until the tremors subside.I twist my head, meeting those piercing blue eyes that rake over my face."Damn, that was hot to watch."
A laugh bubbles from my lips, but it catches in my throat as he shifts inside me, still hard and throbbing.
His lips curl into a wicked grin."Ready for round two?"
He takes advantage of my stunned pause, withdrawing and pressing me back against the cool sheets.His muscles ripple as he prowls over me, capturing my mouth in a kiss that sends heat coursing through my veins.
"I love you, Alex."His voice trembles with emotion, his dark eyes shimmering with an intensity that makes my breath catch.
"Make love to me, handsome."My legs wrap around his waist, pulling him closer.His lips find mine again as he braces himself on his forearms.Our gazes lock, and he eases forward, filling me slowly, deliberately.
"Heaven," he breathes against my lips.
I clench around him, drawing a sharp inhale."Damn, baby."
His lips brush feather-light across my cheeks, my forehead, my nose.Warmth blooms in my chest at his tenderness.I'd always craved intensity, but this - this gentle exploration ignites something deeper.Looking up into his eyes, moisture wells in mine, a single tear escaping.
He freezes, thumb brushing away the wetness.Drawing his face to mine, I pour everything I feel into our kiss.As passion builds, we move together, our fingers intertwining against the mattress.His hips drive faster, our breathing growing ragged.Heat coils tighter in my core until we're both trembling, muscles tensing.His growl vibrates against my mouth as ecstasy crashes through me like lightning, leaving me floating in its wake.He collapses beside me, chest heaving.When I open my eyes, he's watching me with a crooked smile, his hand drifting to cup my cheek.
"The best goddamn sex ever," I murmur, curling against his side and resting my head on his shoulder.
He pulls me closer, and I lift my hand and stare at my gorgeous engagement ring."Alisha Walker," I mumble."Sounds good."
"Good?No.It sounds perfect."
"I can't wait to tell the girls.They're going to scream their heads off."
"Okay, but before you do that, let's enjoy this moment," he says, drawing lazy circles on my thigh.
"Hmm, love it when you do that."A yawn escapes as I nuzzle into his neck, breathing in that hint of sandalwood from his cologne.My mind starts to drift until I feel something leaking.
"Oh, fuck."I bolt upright.
"What's wrong?"Concern edges his voice.
I point to my core."We didn't use protection."
"Oh, shit."He sits up."What do you want to do?"
My mind races until Cole starts rambling, his usual confidence replaced by endearing uncertainty."I didn't even think...Are you...We could..."He scratches his beard, eyes darting everywhere but at me."I understand if you don't..."
I press a finger to his lips."What do you want, Cole?"
Our eyes lock.
"You want my honest answer?"
"Always."
