Page 24 of Secrets Within Us

I looked over at her and admired the way her curves laid out under the blankets, her waist was so tiny and her hips wide with a flare that made me ache to hold them in my hands and pull her backward into me.

So I did what my body ached for me to do and rolled over, wrapping my arms around her from behind and holding her the entire night as I once again slept harder than I had in years.

When I woke up the next morning, she was still in bed, but she was awake, looking at me from where she laid on her side facing me.

“Mmh, good morning,” I said as I scooted closer and pulled her warm naked body flush with mine. She giggled lightly when my morning erection jabbed into her stomach before it laid between us.

“Good morning to you, too.” She whispered. Her dimples were so deep in her supple cheeks, I wanted to lean forward and just take a bite out of each of them.

“Your gorgeous face is something I could easily get used to waking up to every morning. I can’t even tell you the last time I’ve slept past sunrise, but I’ve done it every morning since you got here.”

She smiled, “I’ve never been an early riser before, but since getting here, I’m up with the sun. Must be all the wonderful windows.”

“Must be, I’ll have to get some curtains for you,” I said.

Instead of acknowledging the way she stiffened in my arms slightly as I talked about the future, I buried my face in her neck and breathed her in. I kissed her neck with open passionate kisses and planned on pulling back after a little teasing, but she moaned sugary sweetness and dug her nails into my shoulders where she held on as I tasted her flesh.

I willingly accepted her invitation.

As I slid my knee forward and spread hers, she greeted me by throwing her leg up over my hip and opening her center to me, rocking forward on my thigh.

“Tell me what you want, Bambina.” I whispered as I kissed up her neck to the shell of her ear, remembering how responsive she was to the stimulation last time. I ran my tongue along the outer edge before sucking the lower lobe into my mouth. She squirmed in my arms, rocking her hips on my thigh until I felt her wet center grind against my own naked flesh.

“Tell me what Bambina means.” She replied, catching me off guard, but not really surprising me, as she had asked me before and I’d avoided the question.

I smiled at her persistence and pulled back to look into her eyes as I let my hand slide from her back to rest on her hip before slowly sliding it around to her front and teasing the upper outer lips of her pussy pressed against my leg. “Are you sure that’s what you want right now?” I asked, once more trying to distract her.

“Yes.” She said even as she moaned, closing her eyes, and arching her back to press harder on my fingers. “I want you to tell me what it means, and then I want you to lay me back and finally slide that monster cock deep into me until it bottoms out. Think you can do all that for me?”

Naughty little chit.

I felt the fire climb in my veins and blast to my cock as her words rushed through my ears. She opened her eyes and watched me intently, waiting for a reply.

“I think I can handle that.” Swiftly flipping her onto her back, I positioned myself on top of her. I was careful not to put any pressure on her ribs or bad hand as I slid between her open legs. My cock pressed against her wet pussy as I slid it back and forth, teasing us both immensely.

“Kip.” She moaned, running her nails down my pecs and stomach until she reached between us and slid her hand between my cock and my pelvis, and pressed me harder into her clit before stroking it eagerly. “Tell me what it means so you can take me, right here, right now.”

I growled at her and threw my head back as the sensations made my balls ache with a need to bottom out in her like she’d told me to.

I dropped my head until our faces were inches apart and stopped moving, taking a few deep breaths to focus. When her eyes opened and looked back into mine, her hand stilled, and she waited for my reply. “It’s Italian, for little girl.” I said, watching her reaction. She stayed silent and still, other than the slight squinting of her eyes at the definition. She didn’t like that answer, of that I was sure.

“My sweet, feisty bambina.” I smoothed the hair back from her forehead and smiled down at her before leaning down to kiss her sweetly. She welcomed my lips on her own, even though she didn’t like my answer. I made sure to remember that. “My grandfather has called my grandmother that their entire marriage. It’s to remind her of how small and feminine she is in his big powerful arms, and how he feels like her protector when he is holding her.”

“Oh.” She whispered.

“The moment you opened your eyes here in my bed, I finally understood what he meant my entire life when he told me to find someone that needs me as much as I need them to,” I said as I ground my hips into hers further. She ran her tongue out over her plump lower lip before biting down on it as her eyes closed in pleasure. “We have an indescribable connection, Hadley. And I’m going to shield you and protect you as long as you let me.”

She seemed to hold her breath as she softly whispered, “And if you can’t? If my demons aren’t something you can physically protect or shield me from? Then what?”

I paused for a moment, absorbing her question and the fear in her eyes, “What are your demons?”

Her green eyes dilated slightly before her lids closed and when they opened again, they were looking at a spot just to the side of my face instead of back at me as they had been before.

“Tell me,” I demanded, sliding my hips forward again, rubbing my cock through her soaked folds.

She scowled at me slightly before stretching her neck back and moaning slightly as I used the head of my cock to put pressure on the bundle of nerves at her core.

“I can’t, you wouldn’t want me anymore if I did.” She whispered against my lips before sliding her fingers into the hair at the base of my neck, pulling me down the fraction of an inch left between us, and kissing me with lust-filled noises. “And I need you right now, so bad. I can’t risk it.” She finished as she wrapped her legs around my hips and pulled me against her even more.
