He gave me a filthy smirk before ducking back down, spreading my legs apart with his hands and burying his head in between my thighs. Daniel’s mouth…Oh god.I’d been missing out on this for too long.

Taking his sweet time feasting on me, he licked and sucked like a manstarved.I couldn’t hold in my moans when he switched his attention to my clit, thrusting two fingers inside of me and making me call out his name. Never one to go back on his word, he kept up his pace until I was panting, practically coming out of my skin as I dug my fingers into his hair, pulling him into me even deeper, every languid lick or circle of his tongue against me sending sparks through my body.

“I’m so close, Daniel, don’t stop—” I cried, rocking my hips against his mouth. He crooked his fingers inside of me, brushing against that spot, and I lost it, the pressure between my clit and inside of me too much.

I came as he kept working me with his fingers, my back arching off the bed as I tugged on his hair. It was probably to the point of pain, but I was too blind to my orgasm to think properly.

“Fuck,” he groaned, popping his fingers into his mouth, licking me off of him as he watched me. “You’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted.”

“That was…”Wow.

I sat up, scrambling to push down his boxers and get my mouth on him in return. But he just shook his head.

“What? You don’t want me to return the favor?”

“Fuck. No. But… tonight’s about you. I want to worship you.”

I couldn’t exactly argue with that. As much as I wanted to taste him, I was also eager to get him inside of me.

“This,” I said, pushing against the fabric even as he sat on the bed. “Off. Now.”

He chuckled, complying with my request, letting his cock spring free.

I didn’t care if this was stilljust sex,because I was going to enjoy every moment. Especially all the orgasms he was willing to give me.

Daniel’s boxers joined our other discarded garments on the floor, and then he was over top of me, kissing me with a new fervor as we coiled our bodies and tongues together.

Finding his cock, I swiped a finger over the liquid that had oozed out, guiding him towards me.

He groaned as I notched the tip of him at my entrance.“Wait. Charlotte.”

I stilled, my eyes growing wide. Did he—he wanted this just as badly as I did, didn’t he? I hadn’t read this all wrong when I attacked him earlier, had I?

“Are you still okay with no condoms?” Daniel’s eyebrows furrowed, focusing intently on me. Making sure I was okay.

Oh.

Oh.

We’d talked about it before, and after the shower on the ski trip, but this… I shook my head.

“I don’t… I don’t want anything between us.”

Not after I’d experienced him bare before. And I’d planned to go off birth control after the wedding, anyway.

My cheeks heated. Even though we’d been intimate before, there was something different aboutthis.This wasn’t our first time, but in some ways, it felt like it. It was the first time we were bearing ourselves to each other as husband and wife. Maybe it was because this time, I knew it was something more. That this wasn’t just a one-night-stand, a quick fling.

It was Daniel.

“I’m clean,” he said, curling a finger around my hair. “And I haven’t been with anyone besides you in years. I meant to mention it before, but…” But time had gotten away from us, because I’d insisted wepracticed.Something I wanted to get back to right now.

Andyears?I’d have to take the time to analyze that statement later, but right now, I just wanted him inside of me. I was so achingly empty, and I just needed him to fill me up.

To make love to me on our wedding night.

To make me forget that this marriage was fake.

“There’s only ever been you,” I murmured, kissing his jaw as I slid my hands down to his shoulders. “I want you inside of me. Please.”
