Page 13 of Merry Me Grumphole

Guess we’re both trying to go fast here. Desperation is an understatement.

“Jeans are the worst,” he grumbles as his fingers reach the button. “These are going to be terrible getting off.”

“Sorry, I didn’t exactly think I’d have to worry about you trying to get me out of them when I decided on my outfit this morning.” I choke on another laugh as he grins in victory once he’s dragging the zipper down. That laugh transforms into a broken groan once he’s pushing his hand inside.

“You’re wet,” he states, almost like he’s surprised. Then he smirks and ruins his discovery.

“Obviously.” My legs part wider to give him more room. Instead of mentioning that he’s clearly in a similar state, I’m too busy focusing on his touches. His fingers are reaching deeper, exploring every inch. I gasp when he finds his destination.

His brows come together like he’s concentrating. He knows I’m not some kind of puzzle, right? If he pushes the right spots and touches the right areas…

A moan slips past my lips and my hips jerk. When I try to lock my legs closed, his free hand pushes them right back apart.

“Riley, you–”

“I’m exploring,” he explains slowly, sighing after. “Also, not trying to be an ass by immediately getting inside of you. I’m fighting quite the battle here. I want to make sure you feel good before I even think about myself.”

His honesty makes my insides tingle. I’ve never seen this man so determined. When he pulls his hand out and catches the zipper against his knuckle, he curses under his breath. Obviously hating my jeans, he’s yanking them off my body in such a distorted manner.

A controlled Riley is hot. The flustered man trying to make me feel good is outrightsexy.

Figuring I can at least help him out by lifting my hips, I watch the desperation in this man grow and grow.

It’s finally going to happen. I’m going to make Riley mine.

Once my pants hit the ground with his hurried throw, I notice the underwear still in his hand.

“Teddy bears, seriously?” Riley is panting, clutching the pair.

“They were on discount.” Shrugging, I watch him throw the underwear next. “Well, you’ve got me naked. What happens next?”

Obviously, he has to peel my legs apart to take a look. When he sees how wet I am, it takes a minute to register. Finally, his jaw flexes.

“I wasn’t even close,” he mutters under his breath, “not even my imagination can muster up such perfection.”

Riley’s complimenting me, I know it. Right now, I’m too achy to need my own ego boosted. What I need is him between my legs now. Rather than with his fingers, I want what is pressed against the zipper of his pants.

His breathing is uneven, his skin flushed. When I tell him what he wants, his brows come together.

I can get used to a view like this. Without a doubt, I’m not going to be able to go long before I need another fix. I am addicted to the man who is staring at me.

We’ve both got a problem here. All it takes is one solution to relieve us of our misery.

He shifts back, reaching down to free himself. The poor guy looks like he’s in pain. I don’t even have to say the words, the man is a mind reader. He’s chuckling under his breath in response to my stare.

“Any last words?” he asks, lifting a brow as he leans forward with a hint of a smirk. “Before I start?”

I’m going to kill this man. If he’s trying to make me beg, well, it’s going to happen at this rate.

“Hurry up?” I offer, biting back a smile when he laughs at that. The dimple is back.

Both of our amusement is cut dry when he pushes forward, sliding deep. His cock is nothing like his exploring fingers.

I’ve fed his ego enough today, I won’t go telling him how big he is too. Hell, I’m struggling to even think.

“Fuck, Gwen. This is…” He moves to squeeze more of my body. Hardly able to hold still, he’s already thrusting.

Fire nips at my body with each pull. Each time he sinks back in, I choke on his name. If I want to watch this man come undone, I have to keep my eyes open and planted on him. It’s harder than I originally thought, especially when he starts to pick up speed.
