We sit down for the chicken and vegetables Axel grilled. Otto has a puree of the same, but after his exciting afternoon with Evan, my little guy conks out in his highchair before he’s even finished.
“How about I put Otto down,” Axel says, pushing back from the table while I gather our dishes. “Meet you in the kitchen.”
“Deal.”
A few minutes later, strong arms wrap around me from behind as I wash the few dishes from dinner. His chest covers my back as his lips brush my ear. “Forget this stuff.” His teeth close gently over the shell. “Come hang out with me.”’
I let my head fall back against his shoulder. “I’ve only got three things left.”
“Mmm. Let me help… so you finish faster.”
I smile, because I’d probably be done thirty seconds from now if it weren’t for the distraction of his hands sliding over my maxi dress, across my belly, and down my thighs where he slowly begins gathering handfuls of the fabric.
My nipples pebble tight, and I arch, pressing back into Axel, inviting him to distract me more. “How are you going to help?”
“Like this.”
His voice is a low rumble against my ear, a dirty promise all on its own. But then, his hands find the bare skin of my thighs, and that calloused touch against my sensitive skin has an achy need taking root and liquid heat spilling through my center.
“Mmm, so you’re helping…”
“But not with the dishes.” He pulls my dress over my head, leaving me in nothing but a pair of panties with the number six on them and the layered bracelets Otto loves to play with.
Axel groans appreciatively, running his big hands over my ass in a possessive caress. “Turn off the water.”
I do, making a show of bending forward and pushing my butt further back than is strictly necessary, but this man of mine loves it. And I love driving him crazy as much as he loves doing it to me.
I look back, biting my bottom lip at the sight of Axel’s hands on my hips, his eyes on my ass as he presses against me. He licks his lips, and my belly clenches.
I know that look.
I love that look. It’s pure, ravenous hunger. And when I saw it two nights ago, I ended up on the enormous island behind me with Axel between my legs, devouring me into not just one, but two orgasms.
But tonight, I want something else.
So, I stop teasing him with my Erikson fangirl panties and turn around. Axel is quick on his feet and adapts in a blink, pulling me into a kiss so deep and dirty and good that by the time I come up for air, he’s got my panties down around one ankle, while the other ankle is hooked around his thigh.
“Shirt,” I beg, giving him room to whip it over his head.
Those blue eyes bore into me, burning with hunger. He’s reaching for me again, but this time, I shake my head. He stops, raising one brow as I press a finger into his chest, walking him backward until his shoulders meet the wall.
“Yeah?” he asks, mouth quirked in the sexiest slant.
I nod, leaning in to kiss his chest. One hard pec and then the other, and then my favorite spot right between. I can feel his heart beating beneath my kiss, and even in the midst of this dirty bit of fun, emotion wells within me.
He runs a hand over my hair, tipping my head back so our eyes meet. “I love you, Nora.”
He tells me all the time, like he can’t say it enough. But even if he didn’t, I’d know it.
That love is in his every action, every touch, every kiss. It’s in the air we breathe. And it’s beautiful. My lips curve. “I love you too.”
I kiss his chest again, and then slowly, deliberately, kiss lower. Hopscotching around the hard-stacked terrain of his abs and navel, I tease with licks and nips and light suction until I’m on my knees in front of him.
“This what you want tonight, beautiful?”
Working his shorts open, I rub my mouth against the cotton stretched over his straining shaft and then free that too. His cock is thick and long and pulses against my lips as I continue my torturous tease.
I peer up at him. “For starters.”
His head jerks in a nod, and I can see the restraint it’s taking for him to let me lead. I love it when he takes control, but sometimes I want it too. Sometimes I want to be the one to drive him insane, to worship him the way he worships me.
Sometimes, I want to feel all that restraint and control crumble when I take him into the back of my throat and swallow.
“Fuck, Nora!”
Lips wrapped around him, I slide over his steely length. I suck and lick and then take him deep again, reveling in the guttural, almost unintelligible praise tumbling from this man’s mouth. It makes me crazy hot and, like every other time I get so worked up that my hips start rocking of their own volition, Axel cracks.
“Enough,” he grinds out, pulling free of my mouth and then lifting me from my knees straight up so my legs lock around his hips and my arms around his neck. Kissing me hard, he lines us up and—
“Oh God!”
—thrusts full-length inside me. For a heartbeat, we still, moaning together at the rightness of coming together with nothing between us now that I’m on the pill.
Axel spins us around so it’s my back against the wall, and starts driving into me, deep and hard. Every stroke meeting that needy bundle of nerves and taking me closer and closer and closer to release.
Our bodies strain together, sweat slicking our skin, as he grates into my ear. “Come for me, beautiful.”
And that’s it. I’m tumbling over the edge. Falling, flying. Coming apart in the arms of my husband. My best friend. The man who shared his son with me and gave me a family of my own. The one who builds me up and encourages me to grow and fills my whole heart with more love and happiness than I ever dreamed possible.
