Her Perfect Match (Liaison #1) (12 page)

“Please,” she begged.

Despite her pleas, he undressed her slowly, revealing each inch of skin in a way that teased both of them.
 
His lips touched the skin where she was most sensitive, where he drew out the sensations that had her begging him for release.
 
The smooth skin of her stomach, her thighs, and even her calves, had him straining for completion, but he sucked in a breath to get his desires under control.
 

He wanted the night to last, and though his need almost drove him to strip her and plunge into her without another thought, he wanted her pleasure more.
 
When he had her naked, they were both panting and there was a fine sheen of dew on their bodies.
 
As he kissed his way back up her calves, to her thighs, he opened her with his large shoulders before his tongue darted out and licked her clit.

His body jerked as she breathed his name.

He suckled and explored her, something he would never get tired of, and within a few moments, she laced her fingers in his hair and held him to her as she moaned her release.
 
He inserted two fingers and groaned against her as she pulsated around him.
 

It took her several minutes before her body stopped shaking from her intense orgasm.
 
The entire time he watched her face washed in pleasure, but groaned aloud at her gasp as he removed his fingers from deep inside her, licking the moisture from them and then her lips.
 
She tasted so sweet, so his.

He pressed his lips to her belly, her breasts, and then kissed her with all the love he felt for her.
 
She wrapped her arms and legs around him, holding him close as though she was worried that he would leave her.
 

He couldn’t have pulled himself away from her; she was his everything.
 

As his tongue met hers, he lowered his hips.
 
He growled into her mouth as her wetness coated his cock.
 
As he inched inside her, he knew that she was the one woman he had been waiting for his entire life.
 
From the moment he touched her, kissed her, she had been the one for him, but he didn’t realize it right away.
 
He would always chastise himself for waiting so long.
 
She was perfect, in every way, and after tonight, he hoped that she would be his.

“Harder,” she moaned.

“No, sweetheart.
 
Tonight I’m going to make you come apart in my arms.
 
We have all the time in the world.”

His thrusts were slow and deliberate; each stroke drew out more and more pleasure until she arched her back and screamed his name, his kiss absorbing the sound of her screams.
 
His tongue stroked her lips and moved down to her neck as she fought to catch her breath.
 

He gritted his teeth to control his need that threatened to overwhelm him, but in the next moment, he was taken by surprise when she pushed him onto his back and sat on his stomach, holding him down with her hands on his shoulders.
 
She leaned against his chest and kissed his chin.

“Your turn,” she whispered.

She reached back and cupped his cock in her hand.
 
She lifted herself on her knees and slid backward until she hovered close.
 
He clutched the sheets as she had done, and threw his head back as she lowered herself on him.
 

Instead of the slow torture he expected, she rose on her knees and slammed herself down, driving him deep inside her.
 
She moaned and he watched as her beautiful body drew out the most exquisite pleasure that he’d ever felt.
 
His chest expanded with a love that he couldn’t even begin to describe.
 
He wanted this moment to last forever, but soon he felt heat lick up his spine and his body tensed, ready to explode.

He reached between their bodies, and his thumb flicked against her clit; she threw her head back and breathed his name at as she came.
 
He gripped her hips and drove up one final time before he emptied himself deep inside her.
 
Her nails bit against his skin, and he groaned her name until she shivered and tumbled onto his chest.
 

His heart constricted as he held her hard to his body, listening to her ragged breathing as they both fell from heights that amazed him.

“That…was…” she mumbled against his chest.

He rolled to his side and reached for her, bringing her flush against him.
 
She shivered as the evening temperatures cooled their bodies, and he pulled the sheet over her before he enveloped her in his arms.

“That wasn’t what I planned for tonight.”
 
He sounded disgruntled.

She stiffened in his arms, and he ran his hand over her naked back until she relaxed against him.

“I had dinner ready for you, and then I was going to ask you a question.
 
But the moment I kissed you, I couldn’t help myself.”

“We can have dinner now.”
 
She kissed his chest before she snuggled into his neck.

He laughed.
 
“God, I love you.”

Her head snapped back and she looked at him with wide eyes.
 
“What?”

“Is it that surprising, sweetheart?
 
It killed me to let you go home that first weekend we spent together, but I kept telling myself that you’d grow tired of me and leave.
 
I couldn’t sleep after having you in my bed.
 
All my concentration went to shit and I wanted to drag you home and make love to you until you agreed to stay with me, but I didn’t want to take away your choice.
 
When you told me you loved me, that was the best day of my entire life, and still I couldn’t tell you because I was scared of the power you had over me.
 
But tonight, I wanted it to be special, but I couldn’t stop touching you.”

“I fell in love with you the moment I met you, and have every day since.
 
That’s never going to change,” she whispered.

“I love you, so much,” he choked out.

“I love you, too.”

He reached behind him to the dresser drawer and pulled out a black box.
 
He opened it and watched her reaction as she looked at the white gold ring, the band surrounded by diamonds with an emerald in the center, the color that reminded him of every moment she looked at him with love in her eyes.
 
After a short glance at the ring, her eyes met his and her look was filled with such love, it took his breath away.

He reached for her left hand and kissed her palm before taking a deep breath.

“I love you more with each moment that we’re together, more than I could ever tell you with just words, and I promise to love you each day for the rest of our lives.
 
Rebecca Jocelyn Cole, will you do me the tremendous honor of marrying me?”

She lunged and wrapped her arms around him, and despite the tears he could feel on his chest, she was laughing with delight.
 
She lifted her head and kissed him.
 
“I would love to marry you.”

He kissed her and when she laid down on the pillow to look at him, he took the opportunity to slip his ring on her finger.

He dropped another quick kiss on her lips.
 
“When would you like to get married?”

“Well, I was thinking that we could get married soon, with a few guests.
 
Anywhere you want.”

“Thank God.
 
The sooner I can make you my wife, the better.”

“Good.
 
Now you can feed me.”
 
She laughed.

It took them a while to get dressed, but when they were seated and enjoying their dinner, she smiled at him.

“What kind of flowers do you have in the bedroom?” she asked.

“Orange blossoms.
 
They signify eternal love.”

“When did you become such a romantic?” she asked.

They became swept up in another kiss, and when he pulled back, he told her the truth.

“The moment I met you, sweetheart.”
