Chapter Eleven

It was barely dawn, but how in the hell could I sleep with Maddie’s ass snuggled tight against my cock? That’s not true. I’d slept fine to begin with. Falling asleep with Maddie in my arms had been a dream come true. Of course, then there had been the half-hour of her snoring. That had been funnier than hell. It had been ladylike snoring but snoring nonetheless.

But now it was dawn, and she was sleeping quietly, peacefully in my arms, and torturing me, and I was loving and hating every minute of it.

Maddie stretched, her ass pushing against me even harder.

“Beau?”

“You were expecting someone else?”

She gave a soft chuckle before rolling over.

“I wasn’t quite sure if I was dreaming or not.”

I circled her around in my arms then pulled her close so that we were face to face. “You’re not dreaming.”

“I’m still not convinced.”

“Hmmm.” I reached down and squeezed her butt and arched into her pelvis.

“Ahhh.” Her eyes lit up as she shimmied against my morning wood. “You’re beginning to convince me.”

I shoved harder and her eyes gleamed. “Only beginning to?” I asked.

She shifted her leg and wrapped it around my waist, bringing her core against my cock. I was suddenly pissed at myself for insisting that we kept our underwear on in bed. At least I’d had the foresight to pull out the one condom I had in my wallet and put it on the nightstand.

“Would you think I was going too fast if I told you I really want to get to know you a whole hell of a lot better than I ever had before?” she asked.

I didn’t answer her right away, instead I searched her eyes. I saw both vulnerability and need. The need I liked, the vulnerability, not so much. I threaded my fingers through her hair. Her eyes searched mine, as if I would have the answers to all the world’s mysteries.

“No. This morning, I wouldn’t think we’re going too fast,” I promised.

A slow smile spread across her face. “Are you just saying that because your mammoth cock is about ready to tear through your briefs?”

I laughed. She always made me laugh. No wonder I was in love with her. She made me feel every emotion in the rainbow.

I bit her bottom lip for her sass, then kissed her softly, slowly, letting my lips tell her all the things she wasn’t quite ready to hear. She answered with a sweetness that was all Maddie, and it stole my breath. Then she opened her mouth and gave me her heat.

My hand slid under tank, finding her soft skin, then I moved upward, and gently squeezed her perfectly formed breast. She gasped against my mouth, her nails dug into my shoulder. I took my time, lazily exploring her body until I couldn’t stand it anymore.

I pulled her into a sitting position and snatched her tank over her head, then feasted my eyes on the glory that was Maddie.

“God, you’re gorgeous.”

“Right back at you, handsome.” Her hands threaded through my chest hair, then tugged lightly, before she lightly licked my nipple. I had her flat on her back in under a second, not caring that I lost a few chest hairs for my trouble.

“I was busy doing something,” she grumbled.

“I noticed,” I grinned. “Now I want to do something.” I licked around her right nipple, teasing her mercilessly, while my other hand plucked the nub of her left breast. For once, she didn’t say a word. Instead, she just gasped. Then, as I took her nipple into my mouth and sucked deeply, she moaned.

I let my hands wander, as I continued to torture her breast. Or was I torturing myself?

I slipped my hand under her cotton panties and slid my fingers between the wet folds of her sex. She was as drenched as I was hard.

Perfect.

I circled the entrance of her body, slowly. Taking my time.

Maddie whimpered.

“Beau, quit your teasing,” she finally pleaded. I pushed one finger deep inside her tight depths and she moaned. “That’s a good start.”

“So bossy,” I whispered against her breast.

“You like bossy.”

I liked Maddie’s brand of bossy. I slid a second finger inside her body, and I saw a quick grimace. Fuck. How long had it been for her? I pulled my fingers out, and she whined.

“Who told you to stop?”

I reared up and kissed her smart mouth as I circled her clit with my wet finger. Maddie arched against me and quivered. Our kiss became carnal, all tongues, teeth and passion. I continued to torment her swelling clit, ignoring her whimpers. I listened to her body instead.

She was writhing against my finger, trying to get closer. Her fingers were scraping through my hair. Then I felt her nails digging into my scalp as she arched up so high, only her shoulders and heels touched the bed.

She wrenched her mouth from mine and yelled my name as her body shook, and she reached her peak.

I rolled us over so that she was lying on top of me. I wanted to cuddle her. Shit, when had I become a cuddler? She settled against me, soft and quiet, like she finally felt safe, and didn’t that feel damn good?

Okay, I was a cuddler.

“Beau,” Maddie whispered. Her voice was low and seductive.

“Yeah?”

“Can you grab that condom?”

I looked at her. “Are you sure?”

She punched me in the ribs.

“Ow, that hurt.”

“Suck it up, Marine Boy. Lose the shorts and armor up.”

Instead of obeying her, I took my time pulling down her panties and tossing them over my shoulder. “You’re gorgeous,” I said.

“You’ve already said that.”

I slid my hand from the bottom of her foot, up her calf, to the inside of her thigh and then pushed her leg outward so I could see the flushed, wet pussy I had just made love to. I slid my thumb through the silky liquid, then circled her clit a couple of times. I watched as she shivered again.

“Enough playing a-a-round,” she stuttered.

“I love how you respond to me. I love your passion, Maddie. You were meant to be mine.” Her brown eyes turned black.

“Condom.” She squeaked out the word.

I got up and stood next to the bed and shucked off my briefs. I grabbed the condom and rolled it on without taking my eyes off Maddie. As soon as I was done, she held out her arms. I got on the bed and settled between her legs, my arms around her head. I opened my mouth to ask?—

“If you ask me if I’m sure again, I’ll kick you the hell out of my house,” she growled.

I laughed. She knew me too well.

I leaned all my weight onto my forearms, then kissed her as if it was the last kiss we were ever going to share. I was determined to take this slow. Maddie had other plans in mind. She reached between us, and smoothed her palm over my sensitive dick, then gently squeezed.

I groaned.

She grinned against my lips.

“Maddie,” I admonished.

“I found something new to play with.”

“Let go.”

“Either you put it to its intended use, or I’ll continue to take matters into my own hands.”

I dropped my forehead against hers and groaned. “You play dirty.”

“You’re going to like that about me,” she whispered against my lips.

She was probably right.

I pulled both of her arms up and took each hand in mine, then twined our fingers together beside her head. I nudged the head of my cock against the entry of her body. Of course, Maddie didn’t let me take my time. Why did I think she would? Nope, she thrust upwards, wrapping her legs around my waist.

“Jesus, Beaumont, you’re a monster,” she moaned.

I checked out her face and saw a grimace spread across her face, followed by a smile that could outshine the sun. I pushed further into her welcoming heat. Nothing had ever felt better than looking into Maddie Avery’s eyes as she welcomed me into her body.

I strung kisses along her jaw as I started a slow rhythm, a dance, locking and unlocking my body with hers. Each time I almost left, her heels would dig into my ass, and I would push back in.

“Faster,” she insisted.

“I like taking it slow.” I continued my slow strokes, even though it was just about killing me. In all my thirty-three years on this earth, I had never felt anything better than the hot, tight clasp of Maddie’s body, clutching mine like she never wanted to let me go.

She wrenched her hands out of my grip and dug her nails deep into the cheeks of my ass.

“Start. Going. Fast.”

By the look on her face, I knew if I laughed, her nails would draw blood. What the fuck, my body was clamoring for me to go fast, to go hard, to go deep. Exactly what I wanted, what I needed to do. I drove in deep and twisted my hips. She cried out my name, her heels and nails digging in harder.

“That feels so good,” she panted.

She was right about that.

Again, and again and again, I teased us both. Leading us upward to that glorious pinnacle of pleasure. I felt heat streak down my lower spine and my balls tighten up. I was so close. “Come on, baby,” I encouraged. I worked my hand between our bodies and found her swollen clit. I thrust in one more time as I pinched her clit. She screamed out my name as I shuddered my release. It was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before. Of course it was. I was with Maddie.

My Maddie.

My dream come true.
