Page 78 of Mr. Edwards
I narrow my eyes, even though my heart is thumping against my rib cage. He speaks about our future with such certainty, that I’m starting to believe there’s a chance we may have one. Will I be Mrs. Grayson Edwards one day? I’m scared to hope.
“I’ve never felt this way about anyone, Carlee. I don’t think you understand just how much you mean to me, and one day I know you’re going to love me back just as hard.”
I’m pretty sure I already do,but I can’t seem to find the courage to voice it out loud.
Leaning forward, he places his lips on mine. “Now, turn around and hike up that sexy skirt.” He swats my ass as he says it. “It’s time for you to take a ride on my cock.”
Chapter 17
Carlee
I wake to the sound of crashing waves in the distance, wrapped up tight and safe in Grayson’s arms, and surprisingly I feel a kind of peace like I’ve never known. There’s no panic raging inside me, no hairs standing on end. This beautiful man beside me has given me something that I’ll forever be grateful for.A feeling of normalcy… something I didn’t think I’d ever get back.
For the first time in forever, there was no bedtime ritual, I even slept naked, which is something I never thought I’d do. Grayson’s front is pressed to my back, skin on skin, and our legs are a tangled mess. His morning wood is nestled snuggly between my ass cheeks, and the arm that’s underneath me, resting in the crook of my neck is bent, cupping one of my boobs, the other is anchored around my waist, holding me close.
I lie perfectly still because I want to stay cocooned up in the deliciousness that’s him, just like this, for the rest of my life.
I feel cherished.
I feel loved.
I feel whole.
Minutes, possibly longer, pass before he finally stirs. His lips press against my shoulder as his hand snakes a path down over my stomach, halting when he reaches the junction of my thighs. I bite back a moan as his skillful fingers tease my clit. Last night we went at it until we both passed out from exhaustion, but I’m ready for more. I can’t seem to get enough of this man.
It’s not even the act of sex, it’s one hundred percent him. The way he stares deep into my eyes while moving inside me, or how he worships every inch of my body…and me.Nobody has ever come close to making me feel the way he does. I didn’t think it was possible to be so in sync with another human being, but when we are together, like that, it feels like we are one.
He raises his head from the pillow, looking down at me with an endearing smile on his face. “Morning, sunshine.”
“Morning,” I reply, turning my head and brushing my lips with his.
He removes his hand from between my thighs, using it to lift my leg, anchoring it over his hip. My gaze is glued to him, watching the way his eyelids flutter closed, and how his lips slightly part as he slides inside me. The pure ecstasy I see on his face warms me from the inside out.
“Sweet baby Jesus,” he groans as he withdraws to the tip before slowly inching back in. “I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of your pussy.”
I struggle to comprehend how little old mecan bring a man like Grayson Edwards to his knees.
He’s not wearing a condom, but we’ve previously discussed this in-depth. I’ve had a contraceptive implant in my arm for years. Reece suggested I start birth control when I got my first boyfriend, making it perfectly clear that he was in no way permitting me to have sex, but hethought it best to be safe than sorry. He was looking out for my welfare like always.
The first time Grayson and I were skin-to-skin, it was like we were taking our relationship to another level. There was something about having no barriers between us—it was more intimate. Special even. It’s just another small part of me that I’ve solely given to him.
He’s moving at a leisurely pace, with long, languid thrusts, not like the usual frenzy that accompanies our sexy times.It’s nice. His hand moves back between my legs, circling my clit and I rest my head on his shoulder, moaning as his lips trail along my jawline and down my neck. I could get used to waking up like this.
“I need your lips, actually I need to see your beautiful face while I fuck you,” Grayson says, withdrawing and maneuvering me onto my back before climbing on top. “That’s better.” He grins down at me as he reaches for my hands, lifting them above my head and lacing our fingers together. “I’m looking forward to waking up just like this for the rest of my life.”
I return his smile but don’t reply to his words. I want that too, so much, but I don’t want to jinx us.
He wastes no time sliding back in, and I wrap my legs around his waist, using the heels of my feet to draw him closer. There’s something about the heavy weight of his body pinning me down that I love.
Resuming his leisurely pace, he brings his mouth down to mesh with mine. The kiss is sweet and scorching in equal measure.
He’s so skilled at his craft, it doesn’t take long for him to bring me my first orgasm of the day, and I already know there’s going to be many more to follow. He’s an unselfish lover, going out of his way to make sure I’m satisfiedmultiple times. Always giving so much more than he takes in return.
He draws back, looking down at me as his pace picks up a notch. He’s on a mission now, aiming for number two. He won’t even consider finding his release until he achieves his goal.
My eyes don’t leave his, and no words are needed from either of us. Our bodies express it all. But it’s time for me to put my big girl panties on and tell him how I feel. He deserves to know. I intake a sharp breath as I formulate the words in my head.
Untangling one of my hands from his, I gently cup his jaw. “I love you, Gray.” His face lights up as he starts to pound into me with a vengeance.
