Chapter Twenty-Four

BODE

“D o we have enough time?”

Gran and Deb came home shortly after we finished his room, and they offered to take Caleb for a walk. There was no way I was going to refuse that offer, and now I want to make every use of this short window the two of us have together.

“Stevie, there will never be enough time in the world to be with you.” This woman only walked into my life a few short months ago, but I’m not sure any amount of time with her will be enough. I want every second with Stevie that I can get.

Pressing kisses to her neck, I steer her into my room and kick the door shut. My hands are groping for purchase as I pull her in closer.

I thrust my hips forward, letting her feel exactly what she does to me.

“You drive me wild, Stevie. I’ve never felt like this before.” It’s as close to an admission of what I feel for her as I’ll get right now.

“Bode,” Stevie purrs.

“What do you want?”

“You.”

Spinning her in my arms, I push her onto the bed and stare down at her. Her pupils are wide with lust. Desire.

Capturing her mouth with mine, I claim her lips with the kiss to end all kisses. Each moan and whimper from her I lap up. It drives me forward, leaning over her and resting her on the bed.

I change my pace, slowing my tongue as I relish her taste. Stevie gives over complete control to me. Her nails dig into my neck, urging me on. Every stroke of her tongue against mine has me rolling my hips into her.

Rocking back onto my heels, I slowly peel Stevie’s shirt up and over her head. Her breasts are heaving. I lick my way along the supple skin, loving how she’s a writhing mess beneath me.

I bite her nipple, visible through the satin material of her bra.

“Do that again,” she moans.

“You like that?” I repeat the motion, nibbling on her soft skin.

“Yes. So much yes.”

Peering up at her, her eyes are shut, hand pushed through her hair. Her lips are swollen from my kisses.

I can’t wait to see how debauched she will be once I’m done with her.

“You have no idea how much I like seeing you like this. That it’s me making you feel so out of control.”

“I love it when you touch me, Bode. I’ve never felt like this before.”

I smile against the soft fabric of her pants as I trail a path of kisses to her hipbone. “Only me?”

“Only you.”

“Good. Because I am going to show you just how much I love making you feel this way. How much I love your body.”

Stevie sinks her fingers into my hair and twists. I look up at her, gazing down at me with eyes so dark, I can barely see the hints of blue there.

“Give me everything, Bode. I need it.”

“Whatever you want, Stevie, you’ll get it. I’ll give you everything.”

With deft fingers, I undo the button of her jeans and pull the material down and over her legs. Tossing them behind me, I settle on my knees between her own spread ones. A wet spot grows on the red cotton of her underwear.

“Is this how wet you are for me?” I ask, rubbing the tip of my finger over the wet material.

“Yes. You always make me feel like this.”

“How do I make you feel?”

Shuffling down the bed, I pull the underwear off and immediately devour her pussy.

“Gah!” she shouts.

Pushing her knees wider, I open her up to me.

“Tell me. Tell me how I make you feel,” I demand.

I tease her clit, brushing my nose against it as I delve my tongue in her warm wetness.

“Desired.”

“More.”

I nip and suck on her, letting her coat my lips.

“Cared for.”

“Go on.”

“On edge.” I sink one finger inside, curling it toward me. “Yes! Oh, Bode. So good. Right there.”

I continue my ministrations, working her over and soaking up every sound she makes. My cock is rock-hard, ready to thrust inside her and make her come, but not yet.

I want her taste on my lips when I make her scream my name again.

“Are you going to come for me like a good little girl?” I suck her clit between my lips, rolling my tongue over it. “Are you going to let me know how I make you feel when you come?”

“Bode!” Stevie squeezes her thighs against my head, her release taking over her body. “Yes! Yes! Yes!”

I smile as I drink up every drop of her orgasm.

“Fuck.” I wipe my mouth. “You taste so fucking good.”

Stevie is blissed out, eyes closed as her chest heaves with deep breaths.

“You are the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen.” I can’t stop the words from spilling out of my mouth. But they’re true.

Stevie responds by linking her hands behind my neck and taking my lips in a searing kiss. I’m greedy. Hungry for each glide of her tongue against mine.

How can each time with her get better and better?

I can’t imagine a time when I don’t want Stevie. When I don’t crave her with every cell of my being. It’s not just the sex. I feel like myself when I’m with her. Like I don’t have to put on a show—be Bode the hockey player who oozes swagger.

I’m just Bode. The insecure guy who has no idea what he’s doing with his life and hopes he’s not fucking everything up.

“I need you, Bode,” Stevie whispers against my lips.

Flipping her onto her stomach, I reach across the bed to pull out a strip of condoms.

Shucking my pants and boxers, I throw my T-shirt off and roll the rubber over my dick. Seeing this woman laid out for me has me needing to take a few breaths to settle myself.

“What’s taking so long?” Stevie wiggles her ass, and that has me covering her body with mine.

“You want my cock? Is that it?”

“You know I do.”

Pressing her thighs apart with my knees, I slide my dick between her ass, letting her feel just what she does to me.

“Hold on.” Taking her hands, I rest them against the headboard. “This won’t be gentle.”

“I don’t want gentle. I want you to make me scream.”

Wrapping my fist into her hair, I drop my mouth to her ear. Her skin is hot beneath mine.

“There will be no screaming today, otherwise I’m going to have to punish you. Understand?”

“Mmm.”

I slap her ass. “Understand?”

She wiggles back against me, soaking my condom-clad cock with her wetness. “What if I want you to punish me?”

“Oh, Stevie. There will be a time for that.” I squeeze her reddening ass cheeks together. “I promise. But I want to enjoy that. A slow torture.”

“And you won’t enjoy this?”

“Oh, no. I will. But I need to come now.”

Unsnapping her bra, I toss it to the floor and push her down in the sheets. I look at her, feeling like I’m in a dream.

A dream I never knew I had. It’s like there’s something inside her that calls to me and only me.

I slide into her, letting her warmth take over. “So fucking good.”

“Hard, Bode. I need it hard.”

“Whatever you want,” I tell her as I thrust my hips.

My moves are punishing. Hard and fast. Each jack of my hips has my blood sizzling for this woman. Leaning over her, I cover her body with mine.

“Do you know how good your pussy feels?” I ask her.

“Tell me.” She turns her head back and I capture her mouth in a heated kiss.

“I love how I can feel how wet I make you. Like every squeeze of my cock is urging me on. Like it was made just for you.”

“Bode,” she purrs. “I love how good you feel inside me. Your cock is magic.”

I can’t help my triumphant smile as I go faster. Just when I think I can’t wait any longer, Stevie shouts, exploding around me.

“Thank fuck.” Grasping her hips, I thrust once, twice more before emptying into the condom.

I let the blinding heat pulse through me as she chokes my cock with her pussy. I don’t know if an orgasm has ever felt this good. Stevie’s release pulled mine out of me.

Reaching around her, I keep her close to me as we both come down from our highs. She’s whispering nonsense as she buries her head in the pillow.

“That’s it. Hold on.”

“How is it so good?” Stevie’s hair sticks to her face as I pull out and drop down beside her, taking care of the condom.

“I don’t know, but I’ll do it again to find out.”

She peeks one eye open at me. “I’m sure that will be a hardship for you.”

“A burden I must bear.”

She burrows into my side and I relish these last few minutes of peace we have. Her fingers trace my abs as I drag my fingers up and down her arm.

I love this woman, and I will do whatever it takes to keep her here.
