Page 49 of Roughing It

Slowly, I kiss my way up her sweaty, shaking body, pausing to press worshipful lips to her nipples and at that spot on her neck that makes her breath hitch. Once I’m covering her body, I prop myself up and look down at her, smiling at the dazed look on her face. I nuzzle at her cheek and wait until she turns toward me, seeking my mouth, to give her a long, thorough kiss.

“Where was that earlier?” she murmurs against my lips.

I raise my brows. “Were you not satisfied before?”

She snorts, the inelegant sound soherit feels like a stab to the heart. “Don’t be ridiculous. That was just… I don’t even know. It was almost like…”

When she doesn’t finish her thought, I nip at her bottom lip, then lean back to see her eyes better. “What?”

She just shakes her head though, a soft, sad look on her face. “Never mind. Let me catch my breath, and then I can return the favor.”

The idea of my cock in her mouth has me clenching my teeth as I fight the ripple of pleasure coursing through me. “Not yet,” I say, hoarse, then start shifting back down the bed to settle between her limp legs again.

She lifts her head to stare at me with wide eyes. “Again?”

I grunt, zeroing in on my prize. I want tomemorizeevery inch of her glistening core before we run out of time. “Again. Then I’m going to fuck you from behind so hard my cock is imprinted inside you.”Forever.

I don’t say the last word, but the way she sucks in a shaky breath and nods makes me think she knows where my desire is coming from. The need to leave behind a mark that she can remember me by.

That she’ll carry with her when she leaves me.

A mix of sorrow and anger burns through me as I gently caress her thighs and lean in to run the flat of my tongue up her center to test her responsiveness after her orgasm. Her clit is still sensitive, so I sink my tongue inside her a few times before tracing her folds and edges.

Her husky moan is ringing in my ears as I work to make sure she never forgets me or our time together.
