“What?”
 
 “Nothing.”
 
 “What?”
 
 “Just all that’s mine.”
 
 He chuckled as he straddled her legs and folded himself over her, trapping her beneath him and sinking them deep into the eiderdown.“You betcha it is.”
 
 She folded her legs around his hips as she kissed his face, and raked her teeth over his chin, then down the slope of his neck to the intriguing dip by his collarbone.
 
 “You’re something special too, Castle.”
 
 Back as far as her teenage years, Jodi couldn’t recall ever looking at herself naked and believing she was anything other than too big and too wobbly, but the way Paul looked at her, revered her, suggested it was another thing she’d been wrong about.His hazel eyes shone, eyelids falling to halfway as he closed the remaining inches between them.
 
 “Goddess,” he hissed, as his cock slid against all the slipperiness he’d created with his care for her.She groaned in turn, caught in a delirium of anticipation.
 
 “Paul.”
 
 “Yeah,” he rasped.
 
 “I want you.”
 
 “Ah, God, I want you too.”He made anmmmnnoise deep in his throat that made his skin vibrate against her lips as the tip of him notched against her entrance.“Damn!”
 
 He clasped her hands, so they were palm to palm, and folded his fingers tightly around her, squeezing, as he gave inch after precious inch of himself to her.“You feel amazing.So wet and silky.”
 
 “You feel like you’re mine.”
 
 His smile stretched broad, swallowing up all of his features, and penetrating deep into the hearts of his eyes.“I am so totally yours.”
 
 CHAPTER 46
 
 Paul “Rock Giant” Reed
 
 Paul locked his fingers tight around Jodi’s hand as he eased himself into the heat of her body.He wanted to look at her the whole while, stay right there with her, watch her expression, feel everything along with her, but there was a curling sense of urgency thickening in his blood that warned him anything tantric wasn’t in their immediate future.
 
 He allowed himself only an inch or so before he withdrew, so he could make the same entrance again.Of course, that didn’t necessarily help, given that the head of his cock was the most sensitive part and even relaxed and as ready for him as she was, the friction on his shaft, against his piercings still had him seeing stars with every shallow stroke.When he bottomed out, it was going to be murder, but only in the sense that he didn’t want it to be over too fast.This was a moment worth savouring, the one in which they finally got to cement those vows they’d made thirty-five days, thirteen hours and forty-seven minutes ago.
 
 “I love you.And you don’t have to say it back,” he said, before scooping her hair to one side and bowing his mouth to the side of her neck, while his cock filled her.The sensation of that caused him to make a sound unlike any he’d made before.He wouldn’t have been sure it was him, but there was only the two of them here, and she was chanting his name like a mantra.
 
 She rocked against him.“I love how you feel inside of me.”
 
 Near enough.
 
 Breathless, Paul chuckled and kissed the tip of her nose.“Yeah, me too.”Then he lost his grip on his restraint, his arousal overtaking everything, distilling the world into the space they occupied.All the outside noise gone.Just them, hot, damp, delirious.Emotionally and physically bound.
 
 He was trying not to be rough, trying his best to pleasure her with the care she deserved, but his nerves, his muscles, tendons, his whole motor system was countermanding any thoughts he had about tenderness and slowing things down.Then again, maybe softly wasn’t what she wanted either, given how tight a grip she had on his arse, and how forcefully she was both pulling him to her and lifting her hips to meet his.
 
 Damn, she was something else.This woman, this curvy goddess who was finally his to love, and serve, and devote himself to body and soul.He wanted to take her in every position; in all the ways it was possible for two people to bond.It was so good.So good.She was pounding her body against him, matching him stroke for stroke, and fucking hell, she was coming.Her muscles spasmed around him, pulling him deeper, milking him, and as a result he was coming as well.Damn, they were coming together.That launched him off the planet and into outer space.He felt it in every molecule of his body, felt her molecules singing alongside his, the pair of them perfectly twined.
 
 The come down was meandering.His bones liquid, and his mind inclined towards indolence.He was good, thank you universe, lying here still inside of her, hopefully not squashing her, savouring the tremors and aftershocks that were still making her sheath flutter around him.Eventually, there’d be no choice.He’d have to move.Deal with the practicalities like the condom, but hell if he was going to rush to it.
 
 “How soon can we do that again?”she asked, when he eventually lifted his head and gazed down at her all pink cheeked beneath him.Not half as soon as he’d like, but soon enough that he reckoned he’d at least a hope of satisfying her.Her nipples were furled into two tight points that were just begging him for attention.So, obviously he gave it.He sucked one, then the other, making her moan and causing her inner muscles to make more of those delicious flutters around him.
 
 “I think I’d better deal with this.”He anchored the base of the condom, doing his best not to touch her while he did it, else he might get lost in an exploration of those slick and delightfully plump folds.
 
 She hissed through her teeth as he pulled out and pouted over the loss.
