When he leans back, his face is soft. “Every word. You’re my whole world, Ev.” He lets go of one of my hands and slides his own gently over my belly before lacing our fingers together again, his eyes never leaving mine. “My family. Both of you. Always. When you’re ready, I’m here.”
I think maybe I am ready, but I don’t say that. Instead, I say something else.
“Show me?”
Cooper’s eyes darken and his breath hitches, his hands skirting up my sides and around my back, slowly lowering the zipper of my dress, letting the whole thing fall to the floor and pool at my feet. He steps back and sucks in a breath as his eyes rove over me, taking in my black strapless bra and matching thong. He runs his tongue over his bottom lip, looking at me in the exact way I hoped he would, and my heart takes off at a gallop.
“Always,” he says, his voice low and a little strained. “Evan, I…” He breaks off, shaking his head and taking a step towards me, wrapping an arm around my back and bringing his forehead to mine. “I need you,” he whispers. “I need you so much. You’re a part of me, Ev. You’re in every bone, every cell, baked into my goddamned DNA, and I couldn’t get you out if I tried. It’s you for me. You’re the only one. It’s always been you.”
I love you.
The words are right there, swirling in my brain as emotiongusts through me. But I don’t say them yet because I know, in a way I don’t entirely understand, that they aren’t the words Cooper needs. Pressing up on my toes, I wrap my arms around his neck, bringing my lips to his. He sighs, sliding one arm around my waist and cupping my cheek with the other hand, his entire body relaxing into the kiss. It’s slow and lazy, lips moving, tongues exploring, teasing, tasting, until I ease back, my eyes bouncing between his. “It’s you for me, too.”
Cooper’s face is awash in tenderness and love. In a flash, he spins me, unhooking my bra and letting it fall to the floor, sliding his hands around my body to cup my breasts, rubbing his thumbs over my nipples in a way that has me moaning, my head falling back on his shoulder.
“You have no idea what those words do to me,” he murmurs, flicking his tongue over the sensitive skin behind my ear, and I feel the answering tug between my legs. “They make me want to claim you. To have my hands on every inch of you. To be so deep inside you we won’t know where I end and you begin. To feel you move over me and under me and hear all your sounds and listen to you say my name as you come, over and over again.”
I whimper out my assent as he rolls my nipples between his fingers, thrusting his hard cock against my ass. It’s a direct shot to my clit and I’m about three seconds from combusting.
“That’s what tonight is for,” he says quietly, his hands dropping down to curl in the waistband of my thong, pushing it to the floor. Cooper nudges my legs apart with his foot, sliding a hand through my slit where I’m already dripping wet, using the moisture to circle my clit as electric sparks fly through my limbs. “Tonight, I want to worship you. Touch every part of this body that was made just for me. Slide inside you and fuck you like you’re mine.” He pushes a finger inside me and grinds the heel of his hand over my clit, using his other hand to pull and twist at my nipples until I’m panting. “Because that’s what you are, Evan. Mine.”
Cooper bands an arm around my chest, placing wet, open-mouthed kisses on my neck and shoulder as he works me over, and I ride his hand shamelessly, moaning as I hurtle towards the edge. He grinds his hard cock against my ass, and the fact that he’s still completely dressed while I’m naked somehow makes all of this a million times hotter.
“Fuck, Cooper.” I gasp, rocking myself over his hand as he curls his fingers inside me, hitting me exactly right. “That feels so good.”
“I know, baby,” he says, sucking lightly on my neck and then grazing his teeth over my pulse point until I’m practically desperate to come. “I can feel how close you are. The way you squeeze my fingers. The way your legs are starting to shake. But tonight, the only way you’re coming is on my cock.”
Cooper pulls his fingers out of me and chuckles at the desperate noise I make, the way my hips rock forward against absolutely nothing. With his hands on my hips, he walks me forward until my knees hit the bed and he leans down, pressing a kiss to my neck. “Hands and knees, Rhodes. Let me see that gorgeous ass in the air.”
I turn my head to look at him, narrowing my eyes. “You think I’m just going to bend over for you because you asked me to?”
Cooper smirks at me. “I sure do.”
“And if I don’t?”
His smirk turns into a grin, and he slides one hand around to palm my ass. “You will.”
I scoff. “I won’t.”
Before I realize what’s happening, Cooper’s hand comes down on my ass in a firm slap, thecrackreverberating around the room. I let out a yelp that ends on a moan as I fall forward, Cooper’s arm snaking around my chest to help me down until my weight is on my hands, my entire body vibrating, hanging right on the delicious edge between pain and pleasure.
Cooper folds his chest over my back, one hand sliding over my belly and down to cup my pussy. “You. Will,” he rasps,punctuating each word with a light slap to my clit that has me whimpering, hips involuntarily rocking forward, looking for friction. The fact that he doesn’t treat me like I’m made of glass, even though an hour ago I was sobbing in his arms—that he understands gentleness is not at all what I need right now—has my desire soaring.
“You look so pretty bent over for me, Rhodes.” He lightly circles my clit, and I moan, my head falling forward as Cooper presses a kiss between my shoulders. “I promise I’m going to make you feel so, so good. Knees on the bed for me, baby, and spread your legs. Show me what’s mine.”
Cooper pulls his hand from between my legs, and I’m too needy to do anything but exactly what he asks. I crawl up onto the bed on my hands and knees, looking over my shoulder to see Cooper unbuttoning his shirt, his eyes fixed on me the whole time, pupils blown and his hair hanging over his forehead.
Yanking his dress shirt off his shoulders and letting it fall to the floor, he reaches behind him and tugs off his undershirt, tossing it away, then unbuttons his tux pants and shoves them down along with his underwear, his long, hard cock springing free. Wrapping his hand around himself and stroking slowly, he steps towards the bed, his eyes swirling with lust and desire that have my own arousal dripping from me and coating the insides of my thighs.
Dropping to his knees behind me, Cooper covers my pussy with his mouth, dragging his tongue from my clit all the way down. When his tongue circles my asshole, I gust out a breath, tensing and then relaxing as an unfamiliar, throbbing kind of pleasure pulses through me, a low groan falling from my throat.
Cooper stands and bends over me, his fingers replacing his tongue, dipping into my pussy and using my wetness to circle my hole, chuckling when I groan louder. “You like that, don’t you?”
“Ohmygodyes,” I gasp when he presses just the tip of his finger inside me. “It feels so good.”
“If you’ll let me, one day I’m going to fuck you here.” Hepresses in just a little deeper and I pant, dropping my head down. My hair falls in a curtain around my face, but Cooper gathers it up with his free hand, tugging until my head comes up, his mouth falling to my ear. “I’ll claim this ass just like I claimed the rest of you. But not now.” He pulls his finger out and grips my hips, using his knee to push my legs further apart and rub his cock over my entrance. “Right now, I need to be inside you. I need to fill you all the way up and fuck you until you forget every single thing except how good we are together.”
“Please…” I moan, rocking my hips back and letting him slide through my slit, his tip nudging my clit, making me feral for more. “Cooper. Please get inside me. I need you.”
