Page 57 of The Marriage Auction 2: Part 1

“Fuck, yes,” she groaned, then tightened her leg muscles and dug the point of her high heel into the back of my thigh, forcing my erection to press harder exactly where she wanted it.

I hissed at the small bite of pain, then curled a hand around the front of her throat in a commanding but gentle hold as I gave her another roll of my hips and watched her eyes as the pleasure overtook her.

“Fucking beautiful,” I grated through my teeth, loving the desire swimming in those obsidian pools.

Her breath caught and then she whimpered. That needy sound would be my undoing. I was about to fall to my knees and give the woman exactly what she needed, right here, right now, when another voice stopped me cold.

“Oh, wow. Okay, so, this is working out better than expected,” Jade spoke from somewhere behind us.

I tightened my hold on Naomi’s ass and let go of her neck so I could use that hand to ease the insanely restricting dress back over her luscious form. And ensure my own body protected hermodesty as she dropped her leg and shimmied the fabric into place.

I turned around and grinned, looping an arm around Naomi’s shoulders protectively, wanting to keep her close. “Jade, I’d like you to meet Naomi, my fiancée.” I said the words with such pride I couldn’t contain my very obvious elation.

“We know each other.” Jade smirked then waved a finger. “Hi, Naomi. Glad to see you found the perfect man for you.”

“Boy, did I ever,” Naomi cooed with exuberance and clucked her tongue with a little sass and a snap of her fingers. Praise from my intended, I felt ten feet tall.

Jade moved to the table, scanned the contract and our signatures, then smiled rather sweetly. Surprising for Jade because she was likeThe Mona Lisa. You never really knew what that woman was thinking based on her facial expressions. “Congratulations. I’m looking forward to receiving a wedding invitation,” she said.

“You’re on the list, lady. And be sure to tell Alana that I could not be happier with my bidder.” I ran my hand up and down Naomi’s arm. She was unbearably soft. I couldn’t wait to feel more of her skin. With my entire body. Preferably naked.

“Kind of got that impression when I walked in on the two of you mauling one another,” Jade teased, yet another small smile splitting her lips.

My hand slid down to Naomi’s hip where I squeezed it, glorying in the fact that I could touch her freely. She was going to be my wife. “Hey, now, I may have been a wee bit excited about my bidder. It’s not every day God answers all your prayers.”

Naomi shifted her head so she could look me in the eye while still standing hip to hip. “Are you suggesting you asked God for me?” Her eyes sparkled as she dug her long nails into my ass. “That compliment is going to get you laid for sure,” she taunted.

“I heard that! Then again, it’s not like I wasn’t going to be tappin’ that ass the minute we get to one of our rooms,” I stated with absolute certainty. There was so much sexual tension in the air, it could have lifted ten hot air balloons into the sky.

“On that note, I’ll be filing these documents with the lawyers.” Jade tapped the edge of the contract against the table. “Have fun, you two!” She waved and left the room as quickly as she’d entered it.

“Tappin’ that ass, hmm?” Naomi placed her hands within my own and started to walk backwards, leading me toward the door where Jade had just exited.

“Unless you had something else in mind. Lady’s choice.” I licked my lips, wanting to suck on hers and see if there were any peach remnants from her gloss.

“Oh, the lady wants to get right tobusiness,” she assured, her voice a sultry timber that had a shiver running down my spine.

Then I remembered the item burning a hole right against my heart and I grinned stupidly. “Hold up just a minute.”

She puffed out her bottom lip and I swear she became even more fuckable. My pants became infinitely tighter. I’d take a pretty pout when she was on her knees and my cock was tapping that sexy bottom lip playfully, but I was the one who needed to be kneeling for this part.

“Close your eyes. I got something I gotta do,” I said.

The pout deepened, and she made a cute huffing noise.

“Trust me to take care of you. Playtime will happen very soon. But there’s something I need to do first.”

“Right here?” she asked.

I nodded.

Naomi rolled her eyes. “Fine,” she sighed as she finally closed them.

I got down on one knee, pulled the velvet box out of my jacket, and opened the lid. The diamond ring I’d maxed out mycredit card for sparkled beautifully. I couldn’t wait to see it on her finger.

I held the box aloft, the ring nestled against the dark velvet.

“Hold out your hand,” I asked, my throat drying out instantly.
