Page 49 of Rafael

Her heels dug into the mattress as she rode the current all the way to the very end.

She collapsed back against the sheets, sucking air into her lungs. “I’ve...never...felt like...that before.”

Rafael chuckled as he climbed up her body and settled his hips between her legs. “And that was just foreplay.” He pressed a swift kiss to her lips, his mouth musky from her sex. “Your opinion of foreplay? Overrated?”

“Noooo. So underrated. Absolutely essential.” She grasped his buttocks in her hands and pulled him closer until his cock nudged her entrance. “Satisfying. But not nearly enough.” She urged him closer.

“Wait,” he said and leaned over to the nightstand, pulled out a drawer and fished out a condom.

Thank goodness he was thinking. She had yet to come down from the throes of her orgasm to even consider protection.

He came up on his knees, tore open the packet and removed the condom.

Gisele took it from his hand and rolled it down his engorged staff to the base. She lingered there, fondling his ballsand liking how he sucked in a breath and held it.

“Enough,” he growled and dropped down to lean over her on his arms.

“What do you want, Rafael,” she asked, smoothing a hand over his tight ass.

“To be inside you,” he said and bent to kiss her, his tongue sliding between her teeth as his cock slipped into her moist channel.

She’d loved how he’d brought her so effortlessly to orgasm, but this...

Gisele raised her knees and lifted her hips, her hands pulling him closer, deeper. When he was all the way inside her, his balls warm against her anus, she held him there for a long moment, letting her body adjust to his size.

He didn’t rush her, letting her choose when she was ready. Gisele eased him out, his shaft sliding easily all the way to the tip before she reversed course and brought him back in.

Back out and back in, she moved him, increasing speed and force with each pass.

His body was tense with his effort to control his movements.

When she reached a certain speed, or maybe Rafael lost control...whatever happened, Rafael took over.

Gisele released her hold on his ass and gripped the bedsheets, rising to meet his thrusts, her breaths coming in short, ragged gasps as she neared another climax.

He thrust deeper and faster until he slammed home one last time, sending Gisele over the edge forthe second time. Her channel convulsed around his length as his cock pulsed his release.

Gisele threw back her head, her body drained, her soul satisfied and her libido sated...for the moment. She drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Wow.”

Rafael dropped low, kissed her, andthen rolled them both onto their sides without losing their intimate connection. “Amazing.”

She nodded. Words seemed inadequate. With the afterglow fading quickly, her thoughts went back to all Shelby had said about Rafael, his vow to himself never to marry, and how he left each woman before she had a chance to fall in love with him. Her gut knotted. Was she too late? Was the knot in her belly a clear indication she was already grieving the loss of Rafael? She hadn’t even left his apartment, yet she was in a downward spiral of depression. She wanted to stay with him. Not just for today. Gisele wanted tomorrow, the next day and the ones after that.

Shelby’s warning echoed in Gisele’s head.He won’t commit, refuses to marry and doesn’t date a woman for long.

But how long? A day, a week? She was torn between staying for however long he would allow and running back to her apartment. How had she let her heart be drawn in by him, knowing he wasn’t a forever kind of guy? He’d been crystal clear. She’d known his limitations upfront.

His friends had warned him to stay away from her. Her friend had warned her of his drawbacks. Yet, Gisele had ignored those warnings, claiming she could handle it, and walked right into Rafael’s arms and bed.

With sanity returning, she had the sudden and urgent need to go back to her place. Only space away from Rafael and time would help her sort through her feelings to allow herself to make better decisions. She had to leave or stay and go for round two… “When can we do that again?” she asked.

Rafael laughed. “Are you ready now?”

“No,” she said. “I’m just curious how long it takes you to recover.”

He pulled her into his arms and nuzzled her neck. “Long enough.”

She kissed him once more, savoring what might be her last taste of him. Then she pushed his arms away and rolled out of the bed.
