“If you don’t feel the same about me, I will do everything I can to be the man you want, that you need. If I have to woo you, court you, wine and dine you to make you fall in love with me, I will. Because, I’m never giving you up, Fleur.”
Maybe she didn’t have to settle. For once, it felt like destiny was on her side.
Fleur touched Steele’s cheek and brushed her lips across his. The grief she’d felt for the life she thought she’d lost with the wolves faded as the heat between her and her dragon built.
Yes, he was her dragon.
She wanted to yell it from the treetops, but her mouth and tongue were a little pre-occupied tasting and touching Steele’s right now.
“I want you, Steele.”
A rumble of pleasure resonated through his chest. “You can have me, babe.”
He stripped his shirt up over his head revealing the rippling muscles she’d been crying on only a few minutes before. Sweet Aphrodite, he was hot.
His stomach didn’t qualify as a six-pack, it was more like a twenty-four pack. She was going to lick every single one of them too.
She was back in his arms before she could decide whether she wanted to start in on his full-case of abs from the top or the bottom. They sank down together to the forest floor.
Steele’s hands were already up under the skirt of the filmy dress she’d worn tonight, and his lips were permanently attached to her neck. She didn’t want them anywhere else. Except maybe her breasts.
She pushed him away long enough to slip the dress over her head. She was wearing a bold floral print matching set of bra and panties underneath.
“I love this look, but I’ll love it even more when you’re not wearing anything at all.”
“Then you’d better take them off me.”
“With pleasure.”
He grabbed the strap over her should with his teeth and slid it down her arm while unbuckling the hooks in back. Before she could say sixty-dollar lingerie, gentle cycle only, he’d tossed the bra over his shoulder and into the dirt.
She cared only for the point two seconds it took him to fill his hands with her breasts. “I’m generally an ass man, but these gorgeous tits might convert me.”
He licked across the top of one of her breasts, dipped his tongue into her cleavage, and then across the other one.
“Jesus, look how they overflow in my hands. Fucking gorgeous.” He lowered his head again, this time taking a nipple into his mouth and sucking hard. A flock of pleasure crashed into her and fluttered its way straight to her clit.
“Oh, yes. Keep doing that.”
“But, the other one will get jealous.” He switched from one breast to the other, playing with one nipple in his mouth and the other with his fingers.
“Someday I’m going to make you come just by sucking on your nipples, but that will have to wait. I’ve got too many other places to taste on you tonight. Lie back. Let’s get these panties off.”
She leaned onto her elbow and lifted her rear as he slid the stretchy lace over her hips and thighs. The panties went the way of the bra.
“Ouch. Rock in my butt.” She reached around underneath her, until she found the boulder poking her bum and tossed it aside. She didn’t want anything uncomfortable about the serious sexy times she was about to have with Steele.
With a wave of her hand, the softest carpet of grass and wildflowers filled in the ground below them. She laid back in the grass and crooked her finger at him.
“Fuck, that’s hot, Fleur. I’d roll around in the grass with you all night.
Fleur was totally down for that. She reached for his pants and opened them up, pulling out his cock. It was already so hard. She stroked him in her fist. “I want you inside of me, Steele. But, this doesn’t mean I wouldn’t still like some wining and dining.”
“I’ll wine and dine you as much as you want. I’ll spend the rest of our lives making you fall in love with me. First, I’m going to claim you and fuck you until we both forget our names.”
A whole circle of daisies, fifty or more, sprouted up around them, fully grown, reaching their sweet petals inward as if waiting and watching the fun to come.
