Page 99 of Sutton's Shadow

He slid two fingers inside her as his tongue swirled around her clit. His other hand went to her breast, which he squeezed before pinching the nipple as he sucked on the little nub that throbbed for more between her legs. She gasped, then screamed out his name as her climax hit without warning. He continued to lap her up as she pulsed and twitched under him.

When she could breathe again, his gaze traveled up her body until he met her eyes. With a smirk, he rose above her. He was entirely too pleased with himself. But when the tip of his cock slid inside her, she didn’t mind one bit.

Withathrustofhis hips, he was home. Her taste still on his tongue, her scent filling his senses, and her long legs wrapped around his hips. He’d never experienced anything better. He could feel the residual flutters from her orgasm on his cock as he plunged into pure bliss.

She whimpered when he withdrew until he thrust into her heat once more, hard. The sounds that escaped from her urged him on. He grasped her hips and plowed into her, over and over again. She met him thrust for thrust.

“Harder,” she gasped. He obliged, giving her no mercy, sliding a hand up her torso, pinching a nipple before gliding down between her legs. He pressed on her clit, and her legs shook while she screamed out her pleasure.

She tightened around him, and he continued to thrust. He gritted his jaw as she flew apart, shattering to pieces as she ground against him. Tremors shook her limbs as her orgasm seized her, and the tight grip of her pussy strangled his cock.

“Oh fuck, Sutton,” he shouted as he followed her over the edge. Each drop of pleasure was drawn out of him as her pussy continued to clench around him.

He collapsed, catching himself with his elbows at the last moment so as not to crush her. With great reluctance, he pulled out of her and rolled to her side, pulling her into his arms.

Her body shuddered one more time as she snuggled into his side. He kissed her forehead, breathing her in until his heartbeat slowed to a normal rhythm.

“I love you, shutterbug,” he rasped, sliding his lips over to the little beauty mark he loved on her temple.

He felt her smile as her cheek rested on his shoulder. “Love you, too.”

They lay like that for a while, both enjoying the afterglow of their lovemaking. He thought back to her earlier words, her desire to quit her passion. It would be a travesty if that happened. She brought so much good with her photographs, even if she couldn’t see it herself at the moment. He wouldn’t stop until he convinced her otherwise.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. I heard from Wade late last night.”

Sutton raised her head and squinted at him with one brow arched. She and Wade had a long talk after she’d recovered some from her ordeal. She’d shared her pictures and her guilt over what happened in Colombia with him; he’d apologized for feeding her guilt, having no excuse for his actions except for wallowing in his grief. He now felt like shit about how he’d treated her and vowed to make it up to her, promising to do everything in his power to bring down El Sombra.

“What did he say?”

“Thanks to your pictures, they could get a pretty clear shot of the emblem on El Sombra’s beret. Condor’s Overwatch has some pretty sophisticated software available to them. They used that emblem in the software to search through satellite photos. They got a hit.”

She gasped. “Was it him?”

“Wade was pretty confident it was. Three days ago, his image was captured south of Honda, which is about a four-hour drive northwest of Bogotá.”

She was silent a moment as she absorbed his words. “So, what now?”

“Now, we let Condor’s Overwatch do their thing.”

“They’re going after him?”

“Wade is determined to bring El Sombra to justice.”

Sutton shivered, and he ran a hand down her back to soothe her. “I’m scared for him.”

“He’s got a good team with him. They’ll get it done. And it’s all thanks to you and your camera.”

“I waited too long,” she bemoaned as shadows once again filtered into her eyes.

“No, don’t take that on. You did what you needed to do to protect yourself. This was the exact right time.”

The doubt in her eyes tore at him. There wasn’t much more he could say to convince her differently. So he decided to distract her from her shadowy thoughts instead. He slid his hand over her smooth skin to her ass. Squeezing before he rose up on an elbow to hover over her.

He let her see everything he was feeling for her and watched as the shadows disintegrated. She smiled and cupped his jaw as a light that gave him so much fucking joy lit her from within.

“I know,” she whispered.

His lips tilted up in a grin he couldn’t hide, even if he wanted to. She groaned. “That damn dimple.” He laughed before claiming her mouth. He’d give her his dimple every day if it brought more of that light out of her. Every day for the rest of his life.
