He moves down to my legs, ignoring that spot where I’m aching. He kisses to my ankle before starting his way back up. By the time he’s reached my knee, I’ve spread my legs. I’m ready for whatever he wants to give me.
“So much cream down here.” He runs his fingers across my slick folds then holds them up to show me the glistening digits. He sucks them into his mouth, holding eye contact the entire time so I can see him enjoying his first taste of me.
“You’re going to have me addicted,” he growls and ducks his head. That soft feeling of his beard between my thighs is heavenly. I need to feel him against my pussy. Need him licking and sucking and satisfying me.
I whimper, and he understands.
“I’ve got you,” he whispers.
It’s the last thing he says before he licks my slit, and I melt into the sheets.
He uses his tongue to tease my soft folds, slowly working me into a frenzy until I’m pulling on his hair and rubbing myself into his face. He makes obscene growls as he eats me out, and I’m pretty sure he’s making dirty promises against my swollen flesh. I’m too far gone to know exactly what he’s saying.
The orgasm builds slowly until suddenly I’m riding a powerful wave of bliss that sweeps through my body. Everything else fades, and I can only focus on this moment and the feel of Cord’s beard and the way he growls, putting an arm across my hips to still me. He eats me out until I can barely remember my own name and have to push him away.
He stares up at me, his face and beard glistening. But it’s that look of satisfaction in his gaze that gets me. He looks like he enjoyed that just as much as I did. The thought makes me warm all over as my body continues to pulse with pleasure.
“It’s my turn now,” I say and reach for him just as my phone dings with a notification.
He freezes. “Work emergency?”
“No, the company can run without me.” I get out of bed on jelly legs and hurry toward my bag that I tossed carelessly on the kitchenette counter. I’m naked, and I don’t care. “My dad has...health issues.”
I check my phone and slump, relief going through me. “It’s not him. It’s a reminder. I scheduled a couples’ hike for today. It starts in an hour.”
I blink at the blurry screen and blow out a slow breath, trying to calm my racing heart.
“Hey,” Cord is beside me, and I don’t even know when he crossed the room. He puts a hand on my back, rubbing in a slow circle. “You’re shaking like a leaf.”
“He has a brain tumor,” I explain and sniff. “Sorry. Had a brain tumor. They caught it early, and he’s doing great now. But sometimes when my phone rings, or there’s a text message, I still tense up.”
“It makes sense that you’d fear bad news a second time.”
I glance up at him, caught off guard by his quick compassion. I shouldn’t be. Cord has been nothing but kind since the moment we met. “You understand?”
“It has to feel scary.” He keeps rubbing my back in those same slow circles. He gives me a minute to collect myself before he says, “Now, tell me. Would you rather go on the hike or get breakfast and lounge by the pool today?”
He’s giving me an out. He knows my adrenaline surged, and the terror that went through me, and he’s not expecting me to go back to bed like nothing happened. “But we didn’t get to—”
He sends me a look that tells me he’s not about to head back to bed, no matter the fact that his hard cock is still pointing straight at me. “We have a week. That’s a lot of time to spend exploring each other. Right after our first hike as a married couple.”
Chapter 6
Cord
Holy hell, there’s nothing hotter than a woman who can hold her own, and that’s Mira Moore to a T. This woman is not only an avid hiker who can quickly point out various flora and fauna, she’s also caring. She’s slowly drifted to the back of the group to keep a senior couple entertained.
The husband had hip surgery a few months ago, and it’s obvious that he’s not one hundred percent back to normal yet. But Mira doesn’t call attention to it. She just inserted herself next to them and has kept a steady stream of conversation going.
She’s the type of woman a man would feel proud to have as a wife in every way. She’s smart, compassionate, beautiful, and curvy. I didn’t know that when Lauren sent me on this mission that I would find my forever.
Now, I just have to convince Mira to give me a chance for real when this honeymoon is over. As it is, to get things moving in the right direction, I may have been a little sneaky.
