I ran my fingers up her thighs, gathering the long skirt as I went. "You're very wrong about that."
"The entire point of a wedding is to gush over the bride," she said. "None of this day is about me."
A growl rumbled out of me as my hand slipped between her legs. I cupped her there, letting the heel of my palm rock againsther clit. Her breath stuttered and it really was remarkable that I'd nearly convinced myself I could live without this. Without her. "Doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people who'd be happy to keep you warm tonight."
"I'm not looking for anyone to do that for me."
"Are you sure about that?"
Her shoulder hitched up in a defiant shrug and I knew she was still pissed about the past week. Fair. Extremely fair.
All I could do was grind up against her clit and drop to my knees. I rolled down the thin, stretchy shorts she wore, the ones that were completely sheer and put her cunt on display in a way that wasn't meant to be sexy but still made me pant.
With the shorts out of my way, I dragged a finger along her seam and then leaned in, kissing my way down the same trail. I loved the taste of her. It activated something primal inside me and I was powerless to do anything but suck her clit until she screamed.
She didn't say anything as I traced circles around her clit, lapping at her like we had all day, all night for this. Like there was no limit to our time now, those looming shadows left behind in Arizona. I liked that very much.
I slipped a finger inside her, then another. She found a rhythm as I sucked and stroked, and she let out a surprised gasp when her muscles clenched tight. Her inner walls fluttered around my fingers, pulling me, holding me, as her pleasure unfurled.
"How did you do that so fast?" she whispered.
"I thinkyoudid that, princess." I pushed to my feet, wrenching my belt and zipper open as I went. "Can you do it for me one more time?"
She nodded, shaky, a little lost in the orgasm, but she grabbed me by my tie and yanked me close. I settled between her legs and hitched her thigh high on my hip. She was wet likeI couldn't comprehend. My cock was already soaked just from pressing up against her and I knew I could come like this, right here. I wouldn't even mind.
"I missed you," I said, taking myself in hand and dragging my cockhead through her slippery heat. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips swollen. Tendrils slipped free from her bun. A bit of beard rash reddened her neck.Perfect. Just perfect. Like this, right here.
"You couldn't have missed me that much. You went dark and made me wait more than a week."
She peered at me. There was hurt in her eyes, hurt I'd put there. I'd known what I was doing when I boarded my flight in Phoenix. I knew she'd opened a door and I'd…walked right past it. Which was worse than slamming it shut, I thought.
"I know." I tapped my cock against her clit. Waited for the glint in her eyes to soften. "Let me apologize for that."
She glanced between us, working hard at being unaffected when I knew how much she loved to be teased this way. "You can try."
"Then I'll try."
I filled my hands with her ass, boosting her up against the barn. I slammed into her and a wild roar built in my chest as the unbelievable heat of her swamped my senses. Of the many things I hadn't been able to stop thinking about, the way her cunt gripped me was one of the most prominent. It came back to me like a haunting.
I kept my lips on her neck even though I worried there would be a mark there tomorrow. My hands stayed fixed on her ass, moving her as I wanted. If this was my best chance to offer up an apology, I was making it a good one.
She raked her fingers through my hair, twisting and pulling with every demanding thrust. I met her eyes as I rocked into her, begging her to feel what I felt. To know that I was here withher, even if it was fucking complicated and our history was full of land mines and I couldn't promise much of anything. That I wanted her, I'd always wanted her, and maybe that could be enough.
"I need—" Audrey moaned as my fingers dug hard into her ass.
"Anything, baby," I growled into her neck. "What do you need? Tell me and I'll give it to you."
That wasn't entirely true since I was fucking her up against the broad side of a barn with roughly four hundred people partying not that far away and it wouldn't surprise me if a security guard wandered down here in a minute or two. There were limits.
"I need you," she whispered, and those words sharpened my arousal into a fine, dangerous thing.
There were going to be small bruises on her backside tomorrow, of that I was certain. One for each of my fingertips. And probably a few on her back from the barn's shingles. But I'd kiss it all better. I pumped into her hard, harder when her lips landed on my neck and her teeth nipped at my skin. "You have me."
"For how long?"
My brain took those words and ran with them. "As long as you want me," I said.
"Promise?"
