Page 57 of The Night Ride
His hands cupped and kneaded my breasts as his mouth descended the slope of my chest to the hardened buds begging for his lips.He flicked his gaze to my face as he tongued my nipple.Pleasure filled bolts shot straight to my core.My lips parted on a moan as he sucked a bud into his mouth, gently tugging and teasing my sensitive flesh.
He placed love bites on the nipple, my back arched at the pleasure.He moved between the two until both buds were stiff and red from his ardent attention.He traveled further south placing hot, open-mouthed kisses along my flesh.When he reached the waistband of my panties, he hooked his fingers around the delicate lace and yanked, ripping the flimsy material from my body.
I gasped.His mouth grew ravenous, not leaving a speck of skin untouched.He parted my thighs, making room for the wide breadth of his shoulders.His breath ghosted over my pussy.He shot me a glance, his eyes ablaze with dark desire.My breath caught in my lungs as his mouth descended and he kissed my mound.With his thumbs he parted my folds and drew his tongue down my slit.
I cried out at the intense need humming in my veins.He planted long, thorough kisses slicking his tongue over my clit, making it swell.Pleasure built in endless waves.My hands found their way into his hair, holding him steady as he gave my pussy deep soul stealing kisses.
I watched his golden head between my thighs and knew I would remember this time with him.Remember how it felt to be loved by him no matter how short the time between us was.
I shot up off the bed and damn near levitated as I climaxed.A bright supernova explosion rattled my foundation.Before I returned to earth from my euphoric high, he moved, positioning his hips between my thighs.He rubbed the hard length of his cock between my wet folds.And notched his shaft at my entrance.
“Look at me.”He demanded with a low growl.
I lifted my heavy lids and fell into his seductive gaze.With a single thrust he buried himself to the hilt.My mouth dropped open as I moaned.He fit me, like a key sliding into the right lock.
We stayed that way, connected, breathing each other’s breaths, staring into each other’s souls.I couldn’t help the tears as they slipped down my cheeks.Because in my heart I knew there would never be another quite like Aiden.
There might be men who would come after him if he never returned to my life, but I knew they would never touch me as deeply as him.Aiden moved me.
The love I had for him was deeper than any ocean and taller than any mountain.I didn’t even know if I would be able to look at the rooms in my house and not remember him there.He had emblazoned his essence upon my soul.
I would look for him in every man who came after but knew I would never find it.Because there was no one else like him.
I slid my hands down to his low back and rocked my hips as my need rose.Aiden moved with me.He threaded our hands together as he thrust deep.Our gazes trained on each other.
Because I believed he knew, that he felt the magnetic pull between us, and in his way even loved me.I wanted it to be enough.I wanted to believe that my heart would carry on past this night.
And yet in the deepest recesses of my heart and soul, I knew he was the love of my life.
His lips crashed down upon mine, claiming me, branding me as his unto eternity.If I lived to be a hundred and found love again, it would be his face I saw as I took my last breath.
Our dance together a slow waltz as we inched toward a blinding pinnacle.Neither of us wanted to rush this time and yet the clock ticked against us.With each second that passed we were closer to the end.
As much as we wanted to linger our bodies had other ideas.Need descended, a primal obsession to mate, to join and make us one being.My hands gripped his sweat slicked skin.I undulated beneath him, rising to meet him time and again.
The climax struck like a planet killing asteroid.It’s devastation total.My toes curled and body shook as tremors quaked through my sex.With an impassioned groan he slammed home following me over into the ecstasy infused abyss.
We laid there entwined.Our hearts raced and our bodies replete but neither willing to break the connection just yet.He waited until his shaft softened before he shifted away and withdrew.
He rolled onto his back and pulled me with him, so that I was nestled against his side.We didn’t speak, but words weren’t necessary.We both knew how the other felt.Talking wouldn’t change the coming separation.It would happen whether I wanted it or not.
It didn’t make it easier.If anything, it was harder.Because I could see how it could be.I could envision the life we could have, the laughter, the tears, and the love.I saw a little girl with my dark hair and his eyes.And a little boy with his strong shoulders and indomitable heart.
But it was a field of dreams that would never come to fruition.
If he asked me, I would go with him.I would close my bakery and move it to Virginia near his base.I would wait for him each time he was shipped overseas.And I would be there to greet him when he returned.
But he had to want it, want me, more than anything else, including his oaths.
I even understood it.He was a man of honor and loyalty.And no matter how much watching him leave would gut me, I had to let him go.It was what he needed from me, and I loved him too much not to give him that.
We drifted to sleep, curled together.And all throughout the long night we turned to each other.Loving each other until the sun crested the horizon.When we had no choice but to part.
I had to be in early before dawn.We rose in silence.He padded into the bathroom, and I heard the water running in the shower.As much as I wanted to join him, if he touched me again, I would forget all the promises I made myself and beg him to stay.
When what he needed was for me to let him go, to give him time to decide.
It wasn’t fair.But I couldn’t change it no matter how hard I tried.Instead, I went into the kitchen, my safe space.It was my refuge against the storms of my life.He walked into the kitchen fully dressed just as I put breakfast on the table.
