Page 41 of Tony

Pursing her lips, she stilled her hands, letting them drop into her lap, not willing to have them be tempted to hold tightly on to him. Lifting her eyes, she peered deeply into his face wondering what needed to be said in the middle of the night.Please, no more heartache, Tony. I can’t take it.

Tony, no longer unsure of his feelings, jumped in quickly. “I’ve fucked things up between us and I’m here to fix them.”

She blinked slowly, not sure she understood what he was saying.Fix them?She had no idea what he was talking about, but a sliver of hope snuck into her heart.

“You were partially right at the cemetery. I did love Marla and when she and Sofia died, I died with them. I planned on staying single the rest of my life ‘cause I figured I had loved once and something like that just can’t come along more than once in a lifetime. But I was wrong. I’ve been fighting my feelings for you since I first saw you and when we finally got together up in the mountains, I was willing to go all the way with you. Then it all got fucked up when you heard me say her name in my sleep. But baby, it wasn’t what you thought.”

He ducked his head so that he peered directly into her eyes, checking to make sure she was understanding. What he saw was confusion and…doubt.How do I get her to understand?

“Tony—”

“No, babe. You gotta let me finish.”

She nodded, sucking her lips in, looking at his anguished expression.

Satisfied, he continued. “I had a dream that night and yes, Marla was in it. But baby, you have to believe me. She was letting me go, knowing that I was ready. As much as I had feelings for you, there was still the past holding me back. But that night, Sherrie babe, she told me to be happy with you.”

She sucked in a gasp, tears stinging the back of her eyes, as she watched the emotions play across his face. She lifted a hand, cupping his strong jaw, the rough stubble underneath her fingertips. His black hair looking as though he had been running his hands through it continuously. And those caramel eyes. Warm. Full of emotion.

Finally, she’s getting it.Giving a tenuous smile, he said, “Baby, you’re no replacement. I’ve loved and lost.But if I’m lucky enough to find love again, then I’m grabbing it for all it’s worth and hanging on.”

“You…you’ve found love again?” she asked, her voice shaky.

A smile slowly curved his lips as he leaned in for a kiss. The soft touching of lips. The gentle promise of a future. “Yeah, Sherrie. I love you.” Touching her lips again, he leaned back saying, “Please tell me I’m not too late. Please say I still have a chance with you.”

Her answer was to grasp both of his cheeks pulling him in for a kiss. This one full of understanding. Forgiveness. Then morphing into passion.

After a moment of letting her lead, he took over the kiss, angling her head for better access. Plunging his tongue deep inside her warm mouth, he tasted her mint toothpaste as he plundered every crevice. Feeling something wet on his hands, he leaned back seeing tears sliding from her blue eyes over his fingers.

Wiping her cheeks with the rough pads of his thumbs, he whispered, “Baby, don’t cry. Please don’t cry.”

Standing suddenly with her in his arms, she squealed as he headed back toward the stairs. Taking them two at a time, his precious load held tightly to his chest, he made his way into her bedroom, setting her down by letting her body slide slowly along his front. Pulling the blanket from her shoulders he let it drop to the floor. He smiled as he saw her flowered, flannel pajamas and little pink socks.How the hell can a woman look so sexycovered head to toe?

His hands went to the buttons at her neck, slipping them loose until the top gapped opened and a hint of cleavage peeked through. Placing his hands on the soft material at her shoulders, it took little movement to have the shirt and bottoms in a flannel pile at her feet. With a quick lift, he lay her on her back, her breasts bouncing with the motion. His dick, already pressing into his jeans, was straining, leaving him to wonder if his zipper was leaving a permanent mark.

The smile on her face tugged at his heartstrings as he divested himself of his clothes as quickly as he could. Finally, out of its constraints, his cock stood at attention as he ran his fist up and down its length. He knelt on the floor pulling her fuzzy covered feet toward him. Sliding her socks off, he placed a kiss on each instep.

She raised up on her elbows and watched this huge, handsome man kiss her feet and she could not contain the giggle that erupted. “I’m ticklish,” she gasped, but then his mouth began to move higher and her mirth ended as her core clenched in anticipation.

Kissing her inner thighs he grasped her panties, dragging them down and tossing them into the pile of discarded clothes on the floor. Moving up again, he pulled her legs over his shoulders as he moved his lips to the prize.

With the flat of his tongue, he laved her moist folds, memorizing the taste of her.I want this. Every night. Forever.Plunging his tongue in, he grinned as she jumped, jerking her hips off of the bed. “Easy babe, we got all night,” he said, voice like gravel.

Moving up, he latched onto her clit while moving a finger deep inside, crooking it as it hit the spot that he had been aiming for. The one that he knew would throw her over the edge. With one last suck, he was not disappointed as she screamed his name and he felt her hot sex clench his finger as he continued to move his tongue around her clit prolonging the orgasm until she fell boneless back onto the bed.

Gasping for air, she moaned, “Oh God, Tony. You’re going to kill me.” A giggle erupted as he kissed his way up her body. “Death by orgasm," she laughed.

“Is that such a bad way to go?” he joked, as he made his way to her breasts, latching onto one rosy nipple.

“Ummm,” was her only response.

After rolling on a condom he grabbed her hands in his, pulling them over her head, exposing her beautiful body to his perusal. Moving his straining cock to her entrance, he looked down at her expectant face.

“Tell me what you want, baby,” he ordered, teasing her sex with the head of his cock.

“I want you. Now,” she answered, her breasts heaving with each pant.

Dipping his lips to hers, he whispered, “My pleasure,” before plunging his dick into her hot, tight sex and his tongue into her warm mouth.
