“Yes?”
“I love you.”
I waited through Mom’s tears for her response.
“I love you, too. And for the record, you’ve always been my favorite. You have such a wonderful heart.”
I blinked the moisture off my eyelashes. Mom’s words had reached through the phone and wrapped me in her arms. Apparently, I would always need my mom, no matter how old I was.
An hour later, I had flight details and had booked Mom’s room for tomorrow. Exhausted, I made my way to the bedroom and closed the door. I stripped down to my boxer-briefs and crawled beneath the blankets. My eyes fluttered closed, then shot open again. I hoped like hell I wouldn’t have another nightmare. But the harder I tried to stay awake, the heavier my eyelids grew. The sound of my breathing filled the room as I drifted off to sleep.
The most beautiful girl I’d ever seen stood in front of me, terrified.
I reached out to smooth the hair from her cheek. “I love you so goddamned much, River.”
She pushed up on her tiptoes and pressed her mouth against mine. “I love you, too, baby.” Her blue eyes gazed into mine, and I lost myself in her. This girl owned every part of me.
I slowly unbuttoned her new, baby blue silk blouse. A hint of black lace peeked out. Slipping off her shirt, my cock pushed against the zipper of my black suit pants. I couldn’t wait to have her under me, my name on her beautiful, full lips.
I nipped her ear, then trailed soft kisses down her neck. Her nipples hardened against the fabric of her bra, and I eased the straps off her shoulders, never taking my attention off her.
I knelt in front of her as I freed her breasts. I kissed my way down her flat stomach and to her waistband. When she’d shown up at the club in tight jeans, a blouse, and black boots, I’d nearly come just looking at her.
I flipped the button open and lowered her zipper. Tugging on her jeans, I pulled them over her hips and down her thighs, revealing a lace G-string. I nipped her hip bone as she held onto my shoulders and stepped out of her pants. I placed my palms against her lower back and ass cheek, then pressed my nose against the thin material. Jesus, I couldn’t wait to taste her.
I pulled her panties down in a quick move and gently bit the tender skin on her lower belly. So much for waiting. I had no control with her. All I wanted to do was fuck her with my tongue until she came all over my face. Her sweet little pussy was the only thing I’d thought about all night.
“Lay down,” I growled, unzipping my slacks, and freeing my cock. I wrapped my hands around the shaft and stroked it.
River’s teeth sank into her bottom lip as she parted her legs for me.
“Do you like this?” I stood and moved my feet farther apart.
Her attention was on my dick as I rubbed it for her. A small whimper escaped her as she watched me massage a drop of precum into my skin. Her tongue darted over her lower lip, and her core glistened from desire.
“Yeah.” Heat traveled up her neck and cheeks. She was so fucking hot when she looked up at me beneath her dark eyelashes, naive and willing.
I knelt on the floor and pulled her to the edge of my bed. I placed a leg over each of my shoulders, then licked her swollen clit. She sucked in a breath and arched her back, her perfect tits on full display. I ran my finger up her wet slit as I continued to lick her bundle of nerves. River sank into the bed and bucked her hips.
Losing any restraint, I shoved my tongue into her.
“You taste so fucking good.” I glanced up at her, then devoured every inch of her.
She dug her fingers into my hair, tugging slightly as she moaned and fucked my face.
I eased a finger into her, then curled it. She gasped and clutched the bedspread.
“Holden … Oh God.”
She writhed beneath me, and my dick begged to be buried deep inside her slick walls. “That’s it, baby.”
I was on fire. My entire being hummed with expectation and need. My tongue probed deeper, possessing every part of her as she released.
I hopped off the floor and slid my cock into her before she had time to recover. Her eyes widened as she dug her fingernails into my ass cheeks and rocked against me.
“Harder,” she panted. A frown creased her brow, then her mouth gaped in pleasure. She quickly rolled over and pinned me beneath her. I sucked on her nipple, biting it gently as she threw her head back and picked up speed.
I lifted her, then brought her down on my cock again. She was stunning as she moaned with pleasure, her tits bouncing to the same rhythm that I fucked her. I wanted to come all over them.
