Page 26 of Always Yours

She blinks up at me, and her eyes that are normally a piercing green are more of a darker jade right now. They always get darker when she looks at me like she is. “Talk to me, Ally.”

She blurts it out like she can’t get it out fast enough. “It’s nothing. I just feel fat and undesirable. It’s a me problem, and I’ll get over it. I have more important things to worry about than what I look like.”

I thought for sure she knew. How in the world has she missed the way my cock digs into her any time she’s close? Yeah, I’ve tried to hide it from her, not wanting to take advantage of her, but I must have done one hell of a job hiding it from her. “You’re not undesirable—”

She laughs and shakes her head. I do what I’ve been dying to do since I pushed her to her back. I lower my pelvis until my cock is nestled between her thighs. Her legs are apart, but when she feels me slide along her inner thighs, her legs come together, and I grunt as I push even farther into her. “Does that feel like I find you undesirable?”

She lifts her hips, and I’m in agony. “Let me show you, Ally. Let me show you how much I want you.”

“Yes, please...” She hesitates for just a second. “But the baby.”

I cup her face. “Darling, you know I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you or the baby.”

She pants. “But—”

I shake my head. “No buts.”

I lean back on my haunches and put my hands in the waistband at each of her hips. She lifts up without me even telling her. I pull the silky material down her legs and then toss them to the floor. I slide my hands up her legs, along her inner thighs when she stops me. Her knees come together. “Austin, wait.”

I let my head fall gently to her belly. I take a deep breath and count to ten. If she pushes me away now, I have no choice but to give her some space. I raise up so I can look in her face. “The doctor said no sex… orgasms are okay.”

She smiles. “I know, but I was wondering if you would… uh… kiss me.”

I can’t keep the smile off my face. “I plan to.”

She puts her hand on my arm. “No, I mean, kiss me… on my lips.”

I crawl up the bed and lie next to her until our faces are inches apart. “You want me to kiss you?”

She rolls her eyes. “Yeah, well last week I couldn’t get you to stop kissing me. Of course, you were trying to shut me up.”

I search her face, trying not to stare at her pretty bow lips. “You told me to quit kissing you.”

She brings her hands up and caresses my cheek. “Since when do you listen to me?”

“Okay, so from now on, I’m going to kiss you when I want.” When she doesn’t say no or try to dissuade me, I push even further. “Anytime I want.”

When she still doesn’t disagree, I lean over and press my lips to hers. The kiss starts out slow and simple, but I need more. And by the way she whimpers at my touch, I think she does too. I wrap my hand around her long, soft hair and cup her cheek with the other. I tilt my head so I can kiss her deeper. When her tongue swipes along mine, I savor her taste.

I cup her breast through her shirt. “I want this off.”

I pull back until I can help her get it off. She pulls the sheet up over our bodies, but it doesn’t stop me. My hands are everywhere, and I know that the further we go, the more I have her close, the more I’m not going to be able to let her go.

Chapter15

Ally

I’m panting, and my whole body feels as if it has a thousand volts of electricity going through it. I’ve always liked Austin’s hands. When we were younger, they made me feel safe either by holding me when I was hurt or just when he would put them on me to lead me somewhere. But this is different. I still feel safe from his touch, but now I feel cherished, adored, and dare I say loved.

When he circles his lips around my erect nipple, my back arches into his touch. He’s bringing out all these feelings, and they’re overwhelming to say the least. I groan his name. “Austin, please.”

His lips pop off my breast with a smack, but I don’t have a chance to miss him because he slides down my body, kissing along the way. My heart flipflops in my chest when he kisses my baby bump, but I don’t get to swoon long because before I know it, he has my legs apart, and he’s settling himself between my thighs.

The anticipation is killing me. His hot breath on my skin feels way too good. Better than anything I’ve ever felt before. When his finger slides through my swollen, wet slit, I lift my hips to meet his touch. My body feels as if it’s on fire, but he doesn’t relent. Over and over, he strokes me, and with each pass over my clit, my excitement heightens.

“Austin, please, I need more.”

His voice is low and meant to soothe me, but the huskiness of it has me on the edge of control. “I know what you need, Ally.”
