Clark lifts me so I’m sitting up with a bit of space between us. He takes hold of his cock, dragging the thick head back and forth past my opening, nudging against my sensitive button on each pass.

I love the way he notices and smiles every time I shiver or twitch. He’s so attentive. Somehow that’s just as sexy as his deep eyes and massive chest. He’s always studying my reactions, figuring out what I need. Having someone so dedicated to my comfort and well-being… A girl could really get used to this. I don’t want to get my hopes up. Nothing in my life has ever been smooth or easy.

But just for tonight, I want to believe in the possibility.

He stares into my eyes, smiling gently as he brushes firmly over my clit, then dips into my wetness just enough to make us both hum in anticipation. I nod, then he notches himself a bit deeper before gripping my hips with both hands. “Go ahead, baby. Settle down on me, nice and slow.”

Gripping his shoulders, I spread my knees a bit wider, getting a feel for how much pressure it takes to work him an inch or so deeper. The pleasure is so overwhelming it makes my knees wobble, but Clark holds me firmly. I know he would never let me fall. Never hurt me.

I realize with a start that that’s probably why he hasn’t just rolled me over and thrust inside me. He’s willing to take his time so that I’m in control and don’t feel any pain.

Oh, wow.

“Breathe, baby,” he murmurs, suddenly looking very serious as he stares down between us, his length moving slowly in and out using careful, shallow strokes.

I love the way Clark shifts between grouchy and sweet. Serious and thoughtful while concentrating on the project at hand. I bet I’m the only person who’s ever really seen this side of him. How weird to feel like I already know him. With our bodies interlocked, his complete focus on my pleasure, I already know it’s true.

He stretches up, his lips brushing mine softly. A small, insistent voice in the back of my head tells me to be greedy, to get as many kisses as possible from this breathtaking man before something goes wrong, because it inevitably will.

Shifting my hands down, I force myself to focus on this incredible moment. The sultry look in Clark’s eyes as he realizes what I’m about to do. Lifting up as high as I can, I slowly wriggle down, lowering my hips to gradually capture every hot, thick inch of his cock. I’m so wet that it doesn’t hurt at all. It’s a bit awkward until I find the right angle, but only for a moment.

“So beautiful,” he murmurs. “So damn hot.”

Working slowly, I lift and lower, finding a deep, slow rhythm that feels so good I almost keep forgetting to breathe. His huge, rough hands trace all over my body, caressing every sensitive spot, as if he wants to memorize every dip and curve.

Just as I feel the tension gathering in my lower belly he looks up with a smile, slowly licking his thumb. He brings it to my clit, and I cry out from a fresh wave of pleasure. How does he already know how to work my body so well?

“That’s it, baby.” His deep voice has become a low, savage growl that sends prickles up my spine. “Come all over my cock. Then when you’re nice and wet, I’m going to flip you over and fuck you harder. Would you like that?”

Nodding eagerly, I move a bit faster, working up and down his entire length. The fluttering of his thumb against my clit ignites the smoldering fire that has been building.

The climax hits me slowly, a wave of heat and power, flooding my system until I cry out, falling forward against his chest as his hips rock against me. It’s so intense I can hardly see, breathe, do anything except feel the pressure of him inside me.

I collapse, jellylike, as his arms gather around to hold me tightly. “That was…” I sputter. “A-mazing.”

“Oh, we’re not done yet, baby.” He tips up my chin to study my eyes. “You want more?”

How is that even a question?

“Yes. I want everything.”

CLARK

Heaven. Nirvana. What’s the Viking one? Oh, right – Valhalla.

Whatever the word, watching Elena sink her perfect pink pussy down on me, I feel like I’m in paradise.

And now I get to do what I’ve wanted to from the first second I laid eyes on her sweet angelic face. My arm scoops around her waist as we flip, still joined, so that I’m on top. She giggles sweetly, then spreads her legs wider, wrapping them around my waist.

Capturing her mouth with mine, I kiss her hard and deep, somehow managing to keep my hips perfectly still. In just a few moments she begins to squirm against me, moving my length inside her.

I’ve never been this hard in my life. My cock feels huge in her snug, wet tunnel. Her fingernails prick the back of my shoulders as she tries again to shift, moving me inside her. Finally I crack, unable to tease her any longer.

Pulling out almost completely, I thrust in firmly, relishing the way her head whips side to side on the pillow, her eyes halfclosed. I thrust again and again, gradually harder and deeper until we’re both gasping for air.

“Never wanted anyone like this,” I pant, as my arm scoops under to hold her against me. “Don’t know how to talk about feelings. But I hope you can tell I’m having them.”
