“Focus on your breathing, baby,” Knox panted. “You are doing so well.”
Candice whimpered as the pleasure licked up and down her body. She felt glorious when he praised her. She wanted more of his words, more of his cock. Her hips jutted up and Knox’s eyes flared.
Suddenly, he couldn’t keep still. His hands sinking into the flesh of her hips, he buried himself inside of her. The vibrations, along with the tightness of her channel, had him seeing stars.
He needed her desperately and was lost to the moment as he pulled out and thrust again to the core. She was shaking in his arms, her body twisting and turning against the restraints. She had tears in her eyes as she begged, “Let me cum, Knox, please let me cum.”
He was helpless to ignore her plea. “Cum for me, Candice. Cum all over my dick. I want to be covered in your juices.”
He rammed into her at a crippling pace and suddenly the dam broke. She shattered as the waves of ecstasy crashed over her. Nipples tightening, breathing stopped, and it was as if time stood still as the intense pleasure carried them both over the edge.
Finally, when dots began to appear before her eyes, she drew in a long, shaky, ragged breath. Her body was still contracting, almost as if it couldn’t help itself. Her eyes closed, and she sank down against the mattress.
Knox helped to ease the black vibrator out of her ass and then untied the knots of the scarves. She was limp and boneless, her body sated to the state that she had no idea what was going on around her. Only that she had just been fucked within an inch of her life and it was the best she had ever had.
“You are trembling,” Knox said as he returned to her with a hand towel.
Very carefully, he cleaned her up and then pulled Candice into his larger frame. Covering them both with a blanket, Knox thanked his lucky stars that this woman was his.
“I can never let you go,” he said against her hair. “You know that, right?”
Candice was nearly asleep but opened one bleary eye to say, “You’re mine, Knox Bridges, only mine.”
He felt a swelling in his chest at the simple way she had claimed him. He wouldn’t fuck this up again. This impossibly amazing woman was in his arms and seemed to want him. That was more than he had ever even hoped to dream of.
He kissed her head and listened as she drifted off to sleep. She was perfect from the top of her dark curls, to her beauty marks, down to the sassy nail polish on her toes. He had expected to stay awake for a while, but their lovemaking must have taken a toll on him, because the next thing he knew, the sun was shining through the curtains.
Knox woke with a lurch, reaching for his phone, which wasn’t on the nightstand. It rang again, and he slipped out of bed to go grab his pants. The moment he answered the phone, Mark’s voice blared through the receiver.
“Where are you? I have called the station a dozen times!”
There was panic in his voice, something that Knox didn’t like hearing.
“Who is it?” Candice asked groggily.
“Are you with a woman?” Mark’s voice was incredulous.
“What is going on?” Knox had to ask him a direct question and get him back on track. The last thing he wanted to admit was that not only was Knox with a woman, but the fact that he was also under Mark’s roof could pose some problems
“Was that Candice?” Mark’s voice rang out, loud enough for them both to hear.
Then there was the sound of footsteps followed by a sharp knock on the door.
“I know you are in there, Bridges.”
Candice sat up. “Is Sutton okay, Mark?”
“Yes,” he bit off. “Open the damn door, Knox!”
Candice looked at Knox with an apology in her gaze.
Knox stood up and yanked on his pants. Throwing his phone on the bed, he went and opened the door. Mark stood there with a glare on his face.
“What are your intentions with Candice? Because if you are here just to dick around, I am going to have to ask you not to come into my home.”
Candice’s lips twitched. She knew that Mark and Sutton considered her family, but she hadn’t any idea that they had adopted her. He was acting like an angry father finding a boy in his daughter's room.
“What is all the noise?” A bleary-eyed Sutton joined them. The moment she saw Knox clad only in pants and Candice huddled in the sheets on the bed, her eyes cleared and then narrowed.
