Page 72 of Worship Him

I raise my head, my eyes locking onto hers as I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand. "Please what?" I ask, my tone teasing.

"I need you," she admits, her cheeks flushed with desire. "All of you."

I don't make her wait any longer. I shed the remainder of my clothes quickly, my erection springing free as I kick away the last of my restraints. Her eyes widen at the sight of me, and I can't help but grin at her reaction.

"You like what you see?" I ask, my voice laced with arrogance.

She nods, her gaze hungry as she drinks in the sight of my naked body. "You know I do," she replies, her voice cracking with need.

I position myself at her entrance, the heat of her arousal scorching my skin. I enter her slowly, savoring the feel of her tight walls as they stretch to accommodate me. She wraps her legs around my waist, pulling me deeper, and I can't help but groan at the exquisite sensation.

Our bodies move together in a rhythm that makes me dizzy, every thrust bringing us closer to the edge of ecstasy.

At first, I keep a slow, steady pace, but eventually, my desires take over and I start to thrust harder, faster.

I can feel her muscles tightening around me, a clear sign that she's close to yet another release. I reach between us, my fingers finding her clit as I drive into her with renewed vigor.

"Come again," I command, my voice a harsh whisper in the quiet room.

She moans my name, her body convulsing around me as she finds her release. The feel of her climax triggers my own, and I thrust into her one final time, spilling myself inside her with a guttural groan.

We lie there for a moment, our bodies slick with sweat and our breaths coming in ragged gasps. I roll onto my back, pulling her with me so that she's draped across my chest. Her hair fans out across my skin, and I can feel the steady beat of her heart against mine.

"That was..." she begins, her voice trailing off as she searches for the right word.

"Incredible," I finish for her, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "It always is for us."

She smiles at that, her eyes shining with a mixture of satisfaction and contentment. "We're quite the team, aren't we?" she muses, her fingers tracing idle patterns on my chest.

"Always have been," I agree, tightening my arms around her. "And we always will be."

We lie there in silence, the only sound the crackling of the fire and the steady beat of our joined hearts.

For the first time in a long time, I feel at peace, and I know it's because I'm with Destiny. She's my home, my heart, my everything.

And I'll be damned if I ever let her go again.

DESTINY

Istretch lazily, my eyes fluttering open to the soft morning light filtering through the cottage windows. The space beside me is empty, the sheets cool to the touch.

Where's Adam?

Sitting up, I listen intently. A deep, soothing voice drifts from the other room, accompanied by Avery's soft coos.

My heart swells as I slip out of bed and pad towards the sound.

I pause in the doorway, taking in the sight before me. His tall frame is silhouetted against the window, Avery cradled securely in his arms.

He's speaking to her in a low, gentle tone I've rarely heard from him.

"You're going to be a force to be reckoned with, just like your mama," he murmurs, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Smart, beautiful, and stubborn as hell."

I can't help but chuckle. "I resemble that remark."

He turns, a rare, unguarded smile on his face. "Morning, beautiful. This little one was getting fussy."
