Aurora’s eyes rolled back as her mouth opened in a full-throated moan. Her knees opened wider. I pressed my hand on her abdomen in a gentle show of dominance and to keep her steady while I once more feasted on her sweet flesh. She mewed and whimpered at first as her sensitive clit responded to the pressure of my tongue, but soon her baser needs took over.
Her fingers once more delved into my hair, but this time, it was to pull me closer. I reveled in her second release of the night.
As her body recovered, I rose up between her thighs. I wrapped a hand around my painfully erect cock and placed it at her slick entrance. Instead of my usual brutal claiming, I eased in gently, allowing her body to adjust. Sweat broke out on my brow as I clenched my teeth, fighting every instinct in my body to thrust hard.
Inch after painful inch, I fought back my inner demons and allowed her body to set the pace. When I was finally fully seated inside her tight warmth, I leaned over her supine form. Resting a forearm near her head, I slowly moved my hips, taking time to grind and swivel them against her pussy.
She wrapped her legs around my hips. “Please, Roman. Harder!”
I ignored her plea. I kept with the methodical pace, relishing the soft feel of her flesh gripping my cock.
She raked her nails down my back. I hissed at the delicious pain.
“Roman! I can’t! Please! I need you to fuck me!” she begged.
My breath came in deep gasps as I tried to fight back. “No, this isn’t about that tonight.”
She placed her hands on either side of my head and looked deeply into my eyes. “Fuck me… Daddy.”
My resolve shattered. The taboo nature of my pursuing her despite our age difference played into the erotic fantasy as much as did her sweet innocent face, imploring me to dirty fuck her.
I fisted her hair and wrenched her head back. The moment caused her torso to rise. Her nipples were practically begging me to bite them. I sank my teeth into her soft flesh and shifted my hips back until my cock was barely inside of her, before surging forward. I pounded into her body without mercy, claiming her, fucking her.
I waited until she came for a third time before finally unleashing the beast.
Despite my feverish mind and frenzied thrusts, I still managed to pull out seconds before I came to spill my seed on her stomach. Until my ring was on her finger, I would not come inside of her again.
I collapsed to the side, rolling her with me until she was curled against me.
For several minutes, the only sound in the room was our harsh breathing. As our bodies cooled, I lifted her up and nestled her under the covers before joining her there, once more curling her into my side, where she belonged.
I stroked her hair and nuzzled kisses on the top of her head as her fingertip made slow circles on my chest.
She inhaled a soft breath, then whispered against my skin, “When I said no, it wasn’t a forever no. It was a no for now.”
I tilted her chin up and kissed her lips. “I was wrong to insist. We’ll wait until the time is right. I’ll ask again when we are both ready.”
I held my breath and waited.
Aurora smiled and kissed me again before snuggling against my side. A few moments later, she fell into a restful sleep.
Little did she know that very soon, she would beg me to marry her… if only to stop the pain.
CHAPTER 19
AURORA
I paced back and forth at the entrance to the tube.
Eleanor spotted me as she came up the steps. She held up her arm and waved.
I raced down the remaining steps and grabbed her arm, forcing it down to her side. “Don’t wave. You’ll draw attention to us.”
“Okaaaay,” she responded. She followed my gaze as my head swiveled frantically to the left and right and back again.
“Just act normal.”
“I am acting normal. You are the one acting weird. What’s going on?”
