Excerpt #4 - Heat Level 4 - Sex scene
After
pulling a foiled packet from his pocket, he pushed down his pants and underwear
at the same time. Her breath caught in her throat at the sight of his erection.
It was everything she imagined it would be. Nervous anticipation skittered through
her at the thought of her inexperience. She hoped she’d be able to please him.
She sucked in a calming breath and blew it out as she watched him sheath
himself. It crossed her mind to reach over and do it for him but she didn’t
want him to see her shaky hands. Why was she so nervous? She was finally
getting exactly what she had wanted for so long.
He slid in
beside her, propping himself on his elbow, and she flung the covers over the
both of them. His gentle fingers stroked her cheek and skimmed over her jaw and
onto her neck before his lips met hers in a gentle, loving manner. Not rushed
or hard, like a few minutes earlier. His hand delicately cupped her breast, and
fingertips brushed over her nipple before working their way over to her other
breast. The stimulation shot another slight jolt of pleasure between her
thighs. His lips pressed a little more firmly to hers and his tongue dove
deeper into the depths of her mouth as his hand lowered and splayed across her
stomach, and continued to move lower. When he pressed his palm to her mound a
flash of heat nearly lit her on fire. He dipped a finger into her wetness and
probed for a moment before pulling out and circling her swollen clit. Desire
cracked through her like a whip and she arched toward him.
Dylan
rolled above her, holding the bulk of his weight on his elbows. The need in his
eyes was unmistakable, but it was the depth of love emitting in his gaze that
calmed her, stole her heart, and let her know she was doing the right thing.
A tinge of
vulnerability passed over his face. What was that about? Then he opened his
mouth as if to speak but no words came out. She waited out his hesitation. He
blinked, sucked in a deep breath and let it out. “I love you. You know that,
right?”
Her heart
slammed in her chest. Tears pooled in her eyes. Deep down she already knew how
he felt about her but to hear the words come from his mouth with such sincerity
blew her away.
Dylan
swiped his thumb over her cheek, drying a tear that escaped her. “What’s the
matter? Are you okay?” he asked with a hint of panic in his tone.
“Everything
is fine. In fact, it’s perfect. I love you, too. I have for a long time.”
His gentle
lips found hers, and he pressed himself into her. Long, slow strokes filled
her. He nipped at her lips and then slid
his mouth down the side of her neck further sensitizing her already sensitive
skin. It didn’t matter where he touched, every nerve ending in her body was
already on fire.
As her
hands roamed over his heated skin, his muscles flexed underneath her touch. His
strokes came quicker and deeper. He reached between their bodies and dragged
his thumb over her swollen bead. Her breath hitched. With each stroke of her
inner walls and flick of her inflamed bud, her inner muscles tightened, waves
of sensation built inside her. She couldn’t hold back any longer, she was going
to come. Her body arched up as she cried out Dylan’s name and ecstasy broke
over her. The degree of pleasure racing
through her body was immeasurable, total bliss. She latched onto his shoulders
as her body shook and shuddered beneath his. He drove deeper into her clenching
walls and within seconds a groan of pleasure escaped his lips.
His hot
body pressed to hers. Their rapid breaths and her thudding heart were the only
sounds she heard in the moments that followed. In time, their breaths returned
to normal.
Dylan
rolled off her, pulling her along with him. She snuggled into the crook of his arm and placed her hand against his chest. His
heartbeat tapped against her palm, soothing her. His love surrounded her,
comforting her, letting her know they had done the right thing, and he was hers
as much as she was his.
