Page 39 of Fall Back
Our breathing becomes one as our eyes lock and all the words shatter between us. It’s right there. Our love. Our forever.
When he starts to move, his strokes are long and sure. This isn’t fucking, it’s making love. Every movement he makes is in the effort to worship my body, forcing my pleasure to soar as my hips move to meet him and our mouths brush with chaste kisses.
The way he moves inside of me is long and languid. His lips meet mine again, but the kiss isn’t feral. It’s a soft exploration.
I can feel the way he loves me in the way his tongue slides against mine. There’s a promise of forever in the way he takes me. Every stroke is deep like he’s trying to brand me as his.
“Yes,” I moan against his lips as he fills me all the way.
“You’re mine,” he growls, the demand clear in his voice.
“I’m yours,” I keen, my back arching and my eyes sliding closed.
“Eyes,” he barks, and I snap open my eyes to meet his gaze.
The way he looks at me is intense. It makes my stomach clench, and my pussy get even wetter.
As he moves inside of me, we climb to the edge of bliss together. It’s so close and I grip his shoulders, my nails digging in to ground me. If I don’t, I’ll float away, lost to the pleasure only he can give me.
“Such a good girl,” he groans, his jaw clenched. “Taking my cock so well.”
His breathing turns shallow as he reaches between us and pinches my clit. It’s all it takes to send me right over the edge. As I come, I shout out his name, my walls tightening around him as my body begs for him to fill me up.
Jared moans and slides in and out of me a few times before he buries himself deep inside of me and growls out my name while his cum hits the walls of my pussy. He stays still, our hearts pounding together as the sweat slicking our bodies starts to cool.
Instead of pulling out of me, he rolls until I’m splayed across his chest while he’s still inside of me, even as he softens. His large hand moves up and down my spine, his touch soothing in a way that makes the events of the night feel far away.
“Marry me,” he demands out of nowhere.
I shoot up until I’m sitting astride him, his eyes darting down to my shaking tits before meeting my gaze again.
“What?” I gasp out my question. “Marry you?”
“Yes, my little criminal,” he sounds so sure, there’s not even a hint of hesitation. “I have a ring in the duffle bag I brought in when I was locking up. I was just waiting for the right time to ask you.”
“And you thought that the right time was after we just had sex while your cum is still inside of me and we’re both sweaty?” Myeyebrows are furrowed together, my words coated with a mix of surprise and indignation.
“Yup,” he pops the p, and grins up at me.
Before I can stop him, he rolls me under him, jumps up and strides out of the room. I watch his naked ass with every step he takes. When he comes back, he has a small box in his hands and my heart stutters in my chest. He’s serious.
Holy shit.
“I went out to Limitless the other day and talked to your dad,” he tells me as he sits with his back against the headboard before pulling me back into his lap.
“You went and talked to my dad?”
He grins and nods. “It wasn’t just your dad. I talked to your brothers as well.” My eyebrows pull together, and I open my mouth to say…something. Before I get the chance, he shakes his head. “I didn’t go out there to ask for your hand or permission. You’re more than capable of making your own decisions. I went to talk to them out of respect for them and how long I’ve known them.”
“What did they say?” I can’t help but ask the question even though I’m not sure I want to know the answer.
“Your dad clapped me on the back and gave me a hug,” Jared tells me with a wide grin. “Your brothers all threatened to beat my ass.”
I can’t help but laugh knowing Jared would have given as good as he got if they had followed through. Only threatening him might as well be a ringing endorsement.
Without warning, Jared pops the box open, and I’m stunned by the beautiful ring inside. It’s not overly large, but I wouldn’t want something gaudy. The setting is gorgeous, and the center opal is surrounded by little diamonds.
“It’s beautiful,” I breathe out.
