Page 60 of A Sip of Sherry

I managed to find the woman of my dreams, and because of my lies and my deceit, I could lose her.I forced the invasive thoughts from my mind and focused on the way Sherry’s eyelashes brushed the apples of her flushed cheeks.On the way, her hair fanned out around her like a crown.I burned to memory the sounds of pleasure rumbling her throat and the feel of her hands sliding up my chest as her legs tightened around me.

Determined to never forget this moment, I focused on just us.Skin on skin.Heart to heart.Our bodies synced, moving as one fluid motion.My balls tightened as pressure built inside me.I reached down, finding her tight pearl and rubbing small circles with the pad of my thumb.

Her back lifted from the mattress, and my hand pressed her to me.I wrapped her in my arms and sat at the edge of the bed.My feet hit the hardwood beneath me, her body molding to mine as we rocked toward our releases.

My lips found hers, kissing her with everything I couldn’t say, every emotion I couldn’t put into words.Her slick walls tightened around my cock, and the world exploded in bursts of white.Her nails dug into my shoulders, and she cried out.We rode the wave together, mouths finding each other in a chaos of grunts and moans.

Her body jolted in aftershocks, and I lowered her to the bed.She sighed against my mouth, and I pulled her into me.Her fingers traced lazy patterns across my chest as I rested my forehead on hers.

I held her in the quiet aftermath, sheets tangled around us, and for a brief second, everything felt like it was right in the world.

Chapter 20

Sherry

Sun trickled through my sheer curtains, and I cuddled deep into Ben’s warmth.His arm pulled me in close.I kissed his chest, loving the prickly feel of his hair beneath my lips.Last night hadn’t been just about sex.It had been… right.

“Mmm,” he moaned, and a smile bloomed on my face.

“Morning.”

His dark blond hair was a disheveled mess, and his green eyes popped open for only a moment before pinching tight and creating little lines in his skin.“Morning.”He adorably rubbed at his eyes like a kid being woken up for school.

“Hungry?”I asked, hoping my stomach didn’t take that moment to growl.We had multiple workouts last night, and I was starving.

“Famished,” he said.

“I’ll make us breakfast.”I pushed on his chest and went to head to the kitchen when his hand linked around my wrist and tugged me toward him.

“Hey,” I said as I collapsed against his pec.

“I’ll make breakfast.You stay here,” he said as he kissed my forehead and sat up.

“I can’t sit around.It’ll drive me nuts.”Once I was up, I was ready to be on the go.Sitting around made me feel like I was wasting time.

“Then come with me.”He stood, completely naked, stretching and completely unapologetic as his cock stood at attention.I eyed him, my teeth slipping over my bottom lip.“As much as I want to take you up on that look, if I don’t eat, I’ll pass out.”

I pouted, and he laughed.God, I loved that sound.He stepped into his briefs, and I sighed loudly and dramatically.He laughed again, snaked his hand around my waist, and tugged me into him.He kissed my forehead.

“Any requests?”

My hand trailed down his chest toward the bulge in his briefs.“Hmm.”

He grabbed my hand and kissed my knuckles.“Sneaky.”

“I tried.”

He kissed my forehead, then grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head, eliciting another pout from me.

“I don’t want to risk bacon splatter on my chest.That shit hurts.”

“How do you know I have bacon?”I asked.

“I saw it last night when I put the Chinese away.”

My phone buzzed on my nightstand, and he nodded toward it.“See what that is, then come help me.We also need to talk.

I tilted my head.“I thought we said everything we needed to say last night.”
