“Why would you do that? Do you not want me?” There is pain laced in her voice.
“Hey.” I place my index finger under her chin and lift her eyes to mine. “This shows you that I want you. I just fucking ate your pussy like a starving man. I want you, Aurora. Don’t ever think differently.”
“Then… I don’t understand.”
“I don’t either. Not really. What I do know is that he used you. He fucked you and got off, never caring about you or your needs. He belittled you and beat you down so much so that you fucking struggle to order when we go out to eat. I know that I’m madly in love with a woman who doesn’t know her self-worth. I know that I won’t stop until you do. That means that me and Rosey are going to remain close.” I wiggle my fingers, and a small smile tilts her lips.
“I want you,” she whispers.
I nod. “I know that too. But we need to give this time to grow.”
“We’ve been dating a while.”
I nod again. “We have, and we’re going to continue to date.” I lean in and kiss her slow and deep, letting her taste herself on my lips. “Now,” I say, pulling back, “let’s get you in the tub.”
She eyes the tub and then the walk-in shower. “How about a shower instead?”
“Whatever you want, beautiful.” I press my lips to her forehead before stepping away to start the shower. I make sure the water is warm before turning toward her again, only to find her standing right behind me. “You’re all set,” I say, stepping back.
“Are you not joining me?”
Not if I’m going to keep my hands and my cock off of you. “Do you want me to?” She opens her mouth to speak but quickly clamps it shut and nods. “Tell me.” I bend my knees so that we’re eye level. I keep my eyes on hers, even though her naked body is still on full display for me to feast on. “There is nothing you can’t tell me, Aurora.”
“I’ve never—” She shrugs.
Standing back to my full height, I offer her my hand. “Then we’ll shower.” My cock aches as the words pass my lips, but this is what she needs. She needs to know that I respect her and that her body is something to be cherished, not repulsed. Stepping under the hot spray, I pull her into my arms. Her naked body pressed against mine with the warm water raining down on us is intimate and erotic.
“That has to hurt,” she says again, looking up at me.
“I’ll be fine,” I assure her.
She looks down between our naked bodies and then back up at me. “Can I touch you?”
“Always. You never have to ask me. I’m yours, and only yours.” I turn so that my back hits the wall of the shower, leaving my hands at my sides and closing my eyes. This is her show, and I’m going to let her run it. I’m only so strong, and denying her isn’t something I’m capable of. I’m trying to be a gentleman to give her time, but if this is what she wants, I’m not going to stop her.
Her small hand wraps around my cock, and I take in a slow, steady breath. I force myself to think about something other than how soft her hands are and how they feel stroking me.
“I don’t know what to do?”
When I force my eyes to open, the sight before me has me reaching for the wall to hold myself up. Aurora on her knees, her hands on my cock, that’s a vision I will never for the rest of my life ever forget.
Never.
“Help me,” she says, running her thumb over the tip.
I swallow hard. “You’re doing just fine on your own, darlin’.”
“I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Right now, the only thing that could hurt me is if you stop.”
“Grant.”
“Aurora,” I counter.
“I’m serious.”
“So am I. There is nothing that you could do that I won’t like. Go on your instinct. I promise you if your hands and mouth are on me, I’m going to enjoy it. I’m close to losing my damn mind as it is. I’m standing here thinking about fluffy puppies trying not to come.”
“Really?” She smiles.
The little minx. “Yes, really.”
“So, what if I did this?” she asks.
I’m still staring down at her, and when her tongue peeks out and licks me, I fight hard to keep my knees from buckling. “T-That works,” I say, once again resting my head back against the wall of the shower and closing my eyes.
“Grant.”
Fuck me. She’s trying to kill me.
Opening my eyes, I peer down at her. “Yeah, baby?” I grit out.
“Watch me.”
What. The. Fuck.
My girl went from being shy and timid to a sex goddess in one night. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. That’s what I wanted for her, to have the confidence with me to take what she wants, but this… this is more than I expected, and everything I’ve ever wanted.
Doing as she asks, I keep my eyes locked on her as she takes me into her mouth. The water is raining down on us, her hair is wet and matted to her face, and her mouth’s stretched wide with my cock. My hands tremble at my sides, and my knees, they’re weak. I’ve never in my life felt like my knees were going to give out from the sight of a woman on her knees. Then again, this isn’t just any woman. This is my woman. This is Aurora. The woman who swooped in with her sweet treats and fragile heart and stole mine.
“Babe.” I tap her on her shoulder. She stops and looks up at me, letting my throbbing cock fall from her pretty pink lips. “I’m close,” I tell her, fisting my cock. “I didn’t know if you were ready for that, so…” I let my words hang as I continue to stroke myself. “I’m close,” I tell her.
She nods but doesn’t look at me. Her eyes are glued to my hand stroking myself. I watch as her tongue peeks out and swipes at her lips, and that’s all it takes. I’m crying out her name and spilling onto her chest. I sag against the wall. That was the most intense orgasm I’ve ever had. Forcing myself to open my eyes, I look down to see her staring at her chest. Fuck. Panic rips through me. I knew this was too much too soon. I quickly fall to my knees, which gets her attention. A slow smile pulls at her lips.
“Aurora?”
“Thank you.” Her smile grows.
Relief washes over me. “Come here, you.” I pull her into me and hug the hell out of her. “You’re incredible.” I kiss her slowly. I hope it says: I love you, thank you, and when can we do it again. “Let’s get cleaned up.” I stand, bringing her with me, and we quickly shower, which was the original plan.
Not ten minutes later, we’re both back in bed, sans clothes, her head resting on my chest. My arms are holding her tight, and as sleep claims me, I send up a silent prayer that this is what our forever looks like.
Chapter 18
Aurora
My eyes fly open when a pair of lips press against my shoulder, and “Good morning, beautiful,” is whispered in a sexy, husky morning voice.
Grant.
Last night wasn’t a dream. Heat floods my cheeks when I think about what we did, what I did. I’ve never been that bold before, not in my life, and not while naked. I’m glad he can’t see my face so I can hide my embarrassment and unease. What happens today?
