Story: Pick Your Battles

Then he licked her, and she gripped his shoulders with another gasp. “Ford.”

He wanted to hear his name in that breathy, desperate voice every day for the rest of his life.

“You taste like honey, Jolie. Best taste in the universe.”

Her knees wobbled, and her fingers tightened.

He dipped in his tongue and stroked. Jolie cried out and her head dropped back.

He added a finger while he stroked her with his tongue. The purrs he loved to hear got breathier and more desperate.

He added another finger and finally let his tongue touch her clit.

“Ford.”

“I’ve got you, Jolie. I’ve got you. Let go. Let me see you shatter.”

It only took another touch of his tongue and she let go with another cry of his name.

Her legs melted completely, and he banded his arm around her to keep her upright.

Feeling like a superhero, he rose and scooped her up and headed to the bed. He was nowhere near done.

One shattering orgasm down, a million to go.

Jolie finally fluttered open her eyes. She didn’t want to miss a second of her first time making love with Ford.

Her orgasm had been the most intense experience of her life.

And he’d murmured that they were just getting started.

He laid her gently on the mattress and leaned down to kiss her with such softness that her heart melted. “I love you, Ford.”

His eyes flared, and he kissed her with a lot more passion. “I love you, Jolie.”

Then he straightened, and she realized he was still fully dressed while she was naked and sated from the best orgasm of her life. “Time for you to be naked, too, Ford.”

His growly chuckle had shivers erupting all over her skin. And inside as well. “Yes, ma’am.”

She pushed up to her elbows to enjoy the show. He shrugged out of his flannel shirt, revealing the black t-shirt that clung to his muscles and biceps.

Without taking his eyes off of hers, he reached behind his head and yanked off the shirt in one smooth move.

He was gorgeous. Muscled and strong. She couldn’t keep the whimper inside and he chuckled again.

He reached for his jeans and she couldn’t have looked away even if the house exploded around them. He shucked his jeans and boxer-briefs in one move and kicked the clothes to the side.

“You’re beautiful, Ford.”

He barked out a laugh. “I believe that’s my line.”

Which filled her with love.

She was a lucky woman who’d fallen in love with an amazing man.

Ford settled on the bed beside her, leaning up on one elbow and looking down at her. “You feeling okay?”

She laughed. “Any better, and I’m not sure it would be legal.”
