There’s something to be said when the sun shines in your face waking you with its blinding light.
Groaning, I turn my head into the warm chest my head is resting on. All of a sudden everything from yesterday comes flooding into my mind. I lift my head to look down at the man who held me to him all night. The very same man I feel safe with when I’ve never in my life felt safe.
I stare at his peaceful face memorizing every detail. He has a scar under his one eye and another in his eyebrow above the other eye. Slowly I lift a hand to his face, trailing my fingers along the small scar at the tip of his eyebrow. Looking closer there’s another right underneath that eye as well.
“A cat bit me when I was about five.” I jerk my hand back as my gaze meets his.
“I’m sorry I woke you,” I say hesitantly. I know men don’t like to be woken up when they’re sleeping. That is one lesson my grandfather taught me growing up. I was to remain quiet until he woke up.
“Nothing to be sorry for, Angel Eyes,” he rasps gravelly. “You can wake me up by touching me anytime.”
I nod in agreement but continue to chastise myself for knowing better. I don’t want to make him angry.
Clearing my throat, I glance back to the scar I’d touched. “Did you say a cat bit you?”
“Yeah, I didn’t know better. Some punk had hit my cat with a BB gun, and I went to pick him up, he attacked me,” Neo says, lifting a hand to touch the one at the tip of his eyebrow. “Back tooth.” He moves his finger to the one directly under. “Back tooth.” Again, he moves his finger to another spot I hadn’t notice the faint scar there. “Front tooth.” Neo then points to another spot above his eye, I couldn’t see anything but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. “And front tooth. I ended up looking like a pirate for two weeks as it healed.”
“Wow, I can’t believe someone could be so mean as to hurt a cat with a BB gun. What happened to your cat?”
“It wasn’t his fault so we’d gotten him to the vet, fixed him up, and he became an indoor cat from then on.” Neo shrugs.
“That’s good.” I nod and indicate the other scar on the opposite eye. “How did you get this one?”
“I had a dog who liked to jump fences, and my dad got the idea of bending a metal fence, only he didn’t cut the tips off. So, one day, I went outside to fill the water bowl for Sky, which was my dog’s name by the way and coming back I walked too close without realizing it and sliced right through. Took eleven stitches on the outside and three on the inside to close it up,” Neo murmurs, his gaze locked on mine.
“You walked by a fence,” I mutter his words.
“Yep,” he confirms.
“You could have lost both your eyes,” I whisper, loving the sight of the hazel in said eyes.
“True but I didn’t,” he says as he lifts a hand and cups the side of my face. “How are you this morning? I’m sorry I was gone so long yesterday.”
“It’s okay, I spent a lot of time with Venom in his room before Fist came to get him,” I say though he probably knows that bit of information already.
“That’s good, how about today we get something to eat and I take you for a ride,” he suggests.
“You mean like on the back of your bike?” I ask a thrill of excitement warms my belly.
“Yeah, Angel Eyes, what other kind of ride were you thinking?” He grins causing me to blush.
“Um, I don’t know,” I whisper, diverting my gaze as I bite my bottom lip. It’s been so long since I’ve been with a guy, I swear I don’t know what to do in moments like this.
“Baby,” he murmurs, drawing my attention to him again as he rolls us until he’s hovering over me. This position makes me feel so overpowered in a way I truly love as I stare up at Neo.
“Will . . . you kiss me? Make me feel alive. In . . . the only way you can do. I’ve never felt this safe with anyone,” I whisper, tears welling in my eyes.
Neo stares at me through narrowed slits for a long moment as if he were trying to determine if I were lying. Finally, his eyes lighten and he reaches up to cup my face. “I make you feel safe?”
Unable to speak fearing the tears will slip out of my eyes, I nod.
“Need you to say it, Harley,” he urges.
“You make me feel safe,” I murmur.
“Are you mine?” he asks.
Again, I nod only this time I give him the words as well. “Yes,” I say, knowing it’s the truth. Neo said yesterday he’d felt a connection between us and I believe him because I feel it too. I only hope it won’t blow back in my face.
Leaning down, Neo captures my mouth in a kiss I’ll always remember as his tongue slides into mine. I moan into his mouth loving the way he’s kissing me.
Everything from there becomes a blur as Neo breaks the kiss and removes all of my clothes, including bra and panties, in a blink of an eye. He lays between my legs and glances up at me. “You can say stop at any time but fuck, Angel Eyes, I’ve dreamt about eating this pussy of yours for a whole month straight and knowing you’re mine, I’m about to get the first taste.”
Oh my.
Um.
Wow.
I throw my head back against the pillow as Neo’s tongue slides through my slit flicking across my clit.
Oh wow.
That feels amazing.
My body comes alive for him as he devours my essence with his mouth. I erupt crying out his name as he makes me come and yet, Neo doesn’t stop until he had taken in his fill.
Only then does he lift his head and crawl up over me.
“Fuckin’ love the sounds you make when you come, Angel Eyes,” he murmurs, eyes ablaze with lust as he slides his cock through my wetness. “You on birth control baby?” I shake my head in answer. I wasn’t because I didn’t see the need to be on something when I wasn’t even having sex.
“Need to get you on it,” he mutters, reaching out to the nightstand, pulling open the drawer and withdrawing a condom. Bringing it to his mouth, he rips the foil open with his teeth and then slides the latex over his girth. My eyes follow his every movement.
As he guides himself into my pussy, I lift my gaze to meet his once again. With each inch he slides inside me, I feel it in my chest, this man isn’t fucking me. He’s taking his time, savoring the sensations as I am.
“So fuckin’ tight, Angel Eyes, you’re squeezing the hell out of my cock,” he groans as he fills me to the hilt.
Neo leans down bracing himself on his arms our breaths mingling as he takes his time, sweat beads my skin and a pressure I’ve never felt before builds within my body. “I’m gonna come,” I whimper.
“Come, Harley, I want you creaming my cock with your juices,” he growls.
All it takes is those few words to make it happen.
Neo groans as I come and through my orgasm, he picks up speed keeping me over the edge of the abyss while he finds his. Moments later, he joins me roaring my name.
Talk about giving sex a whole new meaning. I used to think of it as nothing but a means to take care of a basic need between two people. This . . . what Neo and I just shared, what we’re sharing now as we catch our breaths is intimate in a way I can only assume it should be between two people who are supposed to be together. It’s as if my soul just melded together with his in these very moments.
