Page 66 of Deserving Maddie

He could feel her body tremble as he slowly leaned her back and caged her in.

"I want that too. I want to be yours in every way."

"Before we do this, I need you to know I'm safe. I've never had sex without protection and Wes requires all of us to be tested monthly because of the hazards of our job. I haven't been with anyone but you since my last test."

Ray needed her to understand he would never do anything to put her in danger if he could help it.

"He makes you do it even though you aren't out in the field with your team?"

Ray could see the uncertainty in her eyes. From everything she told him, he was confident in thinking Anthony lied to her often about small things and big ones. He wouldn't make that same mistake. Despite the truth being both embarrassing and uncomfortable, he would give her that.

"Yes, even though I'm rarely out in the field, but I think it started because Trista is a smartass. She's always on my case about my sex life. Joke's on her though, because nothing has ever come back on them. I refuse to play with my life that way."

He didn't need to hide his past life from Maddie. That first night in the bar, he was open about who he was and how he lived before he met her. Discretion was never something he cared for because transparency was important to him. He was never more grateful for it until now.

Her small hands snaked up his body until they were cradling his face.

"I trust you, and I want this just as much as you do."

Thank God for that. He was going to have to take things slow, so he didn't embarrass himself like an inexperienced teenager. Ray had a feeling the moment he felt her without a condom, he was going to finish quickly.

Pushing off the bed, Ray took his time raking his eyes over her body. Maddie was on her back, her silk nightie pushed up just far enough to tease but not enough to show him what was hidden beneath. Her legs had managed to snake out from under her when he pushed her back and were now dangling off the end of the bed. She was every bit of perfection just lying there like an offering.

Ray placed one palm on the bed and the other on the outside of her leg. "I love this little thing." His fingers slowly inched their way up her calf, dipped behind her knee, and yanked it up so her foot was resting on the bed, causing her nightie to ride higher up her thigh.

"They are my one self-indulgence."

Maddie was already panting, and he had yet to get more than just his fingers on her. She would be writhing beneath him soon enough.

"They were a very good choice."

With a soft kiss on the inside of her thigh, he switched sides and proceeded to give the other leg the same torturous treatment until both of her feet were planted on the mattress.

"Have I told you before how much I love your pussy?" He slid his hands under her ass, only to find she wasn't wearing anything beneath her nightie. "Oh, did you forego panties for me?"

"I figured they were a waste of time," she moaned as he continued to knead her ass.

"Very smart, and smart girls get rewards. Hold on to your ankles, baby, and don't let go."

He tugged her ass until it was almost to the edge of the bed. He was hungry and right now Maddie was going to be his meal. Her pink folds glistened as if begging him to swipe his tongue up her slit.

Falling onto his knees, he tossed his glasses onto the floor, with a quick mental reminder to pick them up later so he didn't step on them. Then, without waiting or giving Maddie any warning, he shoved his head between her legs and lapped up her slit. The first taste of her on his tongue made him wild. He was addicted to her scent.

Her knees boxed his head in, but Ray didn't let up his assault. He nibbled and sucked. His tongue speared her wetness. Every time her body attempted to get used to the sensations he was giving her, he changed it up until she was a wriggling mess around him.

He kept her just on the edge.

"Ray, please," she begged.

But he wasn't ready yet. He wanted more of her taste on his tongue. He wanted it dripping down his chin. He wanted to erase every sexual experience before him.

When the passion became too much, and her body was wound so tight that he had to place a palm on her stomach to keep her still, Ray grazed his teeth along her sensitive nub and sucked it into his mouth. That was all it took to set Maddie off.

Her entire body shook. The pressure against his head lessened as her knees fell open but he didn't stop. He lapped up every last ounce of her arousal before slowly climbing up her body.

He didn't give her the chance to come back down from her high. In one swift motion, he slammed into her body. Maddie's arm lay across her mouth and he could see the bite mark she left in an attempt to keep herself from screaming.

"That's going to be tough to explain in the morning."
