“Carter,” she gasps.
“That’s right, tell me who you belong to.”
Gripping the sheets with one hand, she threads her fingers through my hair with the other, pulling me closer, her hips lifting off the bed.
“Fuck, baby,” I breathe against her.
I tease her with soft flicks and slow sucks, moaning into her, letting the vibrations from my mouth pulse through her clit. She squirms, and I slide a hand up to hold her hip in place.
“Oh, my God, Carter.”
I love hearing my name from her lips, knowing I’m the one coaxing those little sighs and moans out of her. I circle her clitwith my tongue and suck the little bud into my mouth as I press two fingers inside her pussy. She clamps down, and goddamn, I can only imagine how good she’s gonna feel wrapped around my cock. She’s close.
“Fall apart for me,” I breathe. “Fall apart right here. In our bed. Where you’ve always fucking belonged.”
She gasps, legs shaking, back bowing off the bed, and pussy contracting. Her eyes squeeze tight as an orgasm hits her, and mine don’t leave her as I work her through her climax, licking and sucking, until she’s completely spent.
Fucking beautiful.
She falls back onto the pillow, panting as I move up her body. Kissing every fucking inch. I take a nipple between my lips and tug, then move to the other one.
She gasps, “Oh, fuck.”
I skim my lips up her neck until they hover over hers. My tongue darts out, licking the seam of her mouth. She moans at the taste of herself when her tongue meets mine. I almost come apart right then. Running my fingers through her hair, I hold her eyes captive and slowly ease myself inside of her.
A gasp escapes her parted lips, her eyes flutter closed, and her legs coil around my waist as I sink all the way into her.
“Mmmm.”
“River.” Her name is both a whisper and a prayer.
Nothing has ever felt so good in my life. She arches into me, and her lips dust across mine. Cradling the back of her head, I press my forehead to hers and make love to my wife. Our breaths are silent whispers against each other’s lips. I thought I was in love with her before, but none of that compares to what I feel now. End game. She’s my fucking Allie, and I, her Noah. I’ll always chase her . . . to the ends of the earth if that’s how far she wants to run, and I’ll bring her back to me. Every. Damn. Time.
“Carter, I . . .”
Her unspoken words linger in the air between us.
I swallow her sweet moans as I thrust into her again and again in slow motion. When I lean back, I see everything I feel for her staring straight back at me. My hand slides under her back, holding her close as she comes undone underneath me, her nails digging into my back. The sound of her breathy moans and the way she clings to me has me spilling into her.
My forehead presses against hers. “A lifetime with you will never be enough. My heart belongs to you. Always. Forever. Even after I’m gone, when my bones turn to dust, my soul will find its way back to you, and I’ll love you all over again.”
A tear trickles down her cheek. I kiss it away, tasting the salt on my lips.
Rolling onto my back, I pull her into my arms—her head on my chest—and stare down at her, combing my fingers through her hair until she falls asleep. Nothing in this world compares to this feeling. Nothing compares to her.
Twenty-One
River
I woke up well-rested and deliciously sore with the reminder of how Carter played with my body as if it was his own personal instrument. My heart beats a little faster thinking about last night. The way he worships me is unreal, and I’m not only talking about in the bedroom, though the man is an absolute God. He took me two more times in our room and once in the shower. Completely annihilated me. I’ve never been able to get off on penetration alone, but with Carter?Wow.And can we talk about that barbell he’s been hiding in his pants? Best sex of my life.
But I digress. What I’m really talking about is how after our workout this morning, he washed every inch of my body after he shampooed and conditioned my hair, and is now rinsing me off. The jet hits my clit.
“Mmm.”
“Ooh, you liked that.”
He changes the setting on the jet and brings the showerhead back to my clit.
