Page 56 of Marry Me, Right Now

She smirked. “Not at all. I held that full glass of champagne for hours so nobody would try to force more on me. I think I had three glasses over five hours, so I’m very slightly mellow, at most.”

“Did you have a nice wedding?”

“Yes, it was fabulous. Did you?”

“Absolutely.” I paused, trying not to think of those astounding legs stretching out beside me. “And what’s question number four?”

Her eyes flew open, startled. She blushed prettily, her pupils wide with shock. “Nothing,” she said after a second. “Just a silly girl joke.”

“So why not tell me?”

Her lips quivered so invitingly it was torture to not kiss her. “It’s private.”

“Ah, so it’s about sex.”

She flushed deeper. “Stop it. I’m not telling you.”

“Okay, I’ll guess.”

“You wouldn’t dare.” She glared at me as if she were genuinely thinking of slapping me. Watching her get this fired up was so hot there was no way I could stop.

“Well, let’s see,” I said, sitting up. “It’s something that girls discuss, and it’s obviously about sex or you wouldn’t be blushing that hard.”

Her hand flew to her cheek. “Dammit.”

“I’ll bet that you were having a conversation about how I treated you. One of those girlfriend check in things, where you have to make sure the man is good enough for your friend.” Mia’s eyes tightened. I was definitely on the right track.

“If your friend is being treated right, that means she’s getting everything she needs. A man who listens, a man who takes care of her.” Her lips were pressed together in a straight line. She really didn’t want me to say it, but I couldn’t resist.

“She asked if I go down on you enough and if I truly please you.” I’d obviously hit the nail on the head. Her eyes and mouth flew open, making he

r look even more like a perfect doll. Something deep in my mind snapped.

We were in bed together, scantily clad and freshly married. Having sex right now would either be the best or worst thing we could do. Maybe it wouldn’t be so terrible if I just took care of her instead.

My hand reached for her without thinking, running my thumb along her cheekbone. Leaning into my hand, her glare softened. “Is that what you like?” I whispered. “A man who is dedicated to your pleasure?” She was frozen, so I took hold of her chin, tipping it up and down in a little nod, making her smile. “You want a man’s mouth between your legs, driving you crazy?”

This time she nodded on her own, pushing my hand up and down gently.

I leaned closer, the sweet fragrance of her hair making me nearly lose control. “Mia, my gorgeous new wife,” I asked softly, “May I do that, and help you relax after a very stressful day?”

She nodded again, with a strange, dreamy look.

I moved over so that I was right beside her. Pulling back the sheet, her perky dark nipples were visible through the thin fabric, begging to be touched. Gliding my hand across her taut stomach, I hitched up her tank top, releasing her incredible round breasts. My blood suddenly headed south, but I tried to focus. “How about I start with these, to get you warmed up?”

She nodded, almost looking like she was high.

I stopped, leaning in to examine her eyes closely. “You’re sure you’re not drunk?”

“No, not at all.” She shook her head. “Just, um, surprised. Overwhelmed.”

My hand scooped up her breast as I lowered my lips to suck gently at the rosy circle of skin. She was so soft, so perfect. “You’re obviously exhausted,” I said softly. “If you want me to stop, please just say so. But I think I should likely make you come so that you can get a good night’s sleep.”

“Mmm hmm,” she moaned, as I took hold of her breasts, alternating sucking and licking both nipples. She melted back against the bed as if she were falling.

Her fingers wrapped in the back of my hair, pulling my mouth to hers, then I was lost in her lips, lying almost on top of her while she absolutely moaned for me. My shoulders were practically shaking from the connection when her sweet little tongue entered my mouth. The pull I felt from her was so intense it was like we’d been magnetized.

I’d never held a girl so precious, and the way she was kissing me with this level of ferocity was arousing me nearly past the point of no return. My erection was pressing against her hip so hard I had to rip myself away before I lost my mind.
