Dane Page 3

  “Oh Dane, I want you too. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you.” She strokes me over my pants, and presses her soft lips against mine. She tastes like the end of summer, high school football games and first loves. With one hand she unzips my pants and sets me free, stroking my length as our tongues twist together to become one.

  I palm her breast over her bra, slipping one thumb beneath the fabric, stroking her nipple until it’s sharper than a dagger’s point. “You’re so beautiful, Eden. I fucking love your body.” I moan into her mouth. “I can’t wait to taste every single inch of you.”

  “You will.” Her voice echoes in my mouth. “But, ladies first.” She lowers her head and wraps her lips around my tip, using her velvet tongue as she takes me down the back of her throat. My whole body jerks, not used to being touched like this. She comes up for air, tosses her hair to the side and continues using her hand. She looks like a goddess, maneuvering onto her knees so that she can get a better angle. Her hot mouth runs up and down my length, sucking me, causing me to see stars.

  My hand gently fists the back of her silky hair. When her dark eyes meet mine, I nearly explode on the spot, but I can’t do that to her. “You have to stop.”

  “Why? You don’t like it?”

  I pull her up to face me. “I fucking love it, Eden. But if I don’t bury myself inside of you soon, I’ll lose my goddamn mind.” Her eyes widen with excitement, and she starts to pull off her dress. My hand presses against hers, stopping her in mid motion. “But it’s been a while, baby. And I don’t think I’ll be able to take it easy on you. Not when I want someone as much as I want you.”

  She runs her bubble gum tongue along her red, swollen mouth, then taps her finger on the tip of my nose. “Do you promise?”

  With an involuntary growl, I jump on top of her, pinning her down on the couch. “I promise that once I’ve had a taste of you, you’ll belong to me. I’m never letting you go.”

  “I like that promise.” Her dark eyes beam up at me as I slowly remove her dress and toss it on the floor next to the couch.

  Eden

  Without his clothes, Dane looks like an Olympic athlete. My eyes drink in the sight of his taught, toned physique. From his strong, masculine chest all the way down the little grooves on the sides of his six pack, Dane Caden is cut from stone. I press my hands against his chest as he kisses me once more, pressing me back on the sofa as his hungry mouth explores mine.

  Dane plants a trail of hot kisses down my neck. I surrender completely to him, arching my back as I grip a fistful of his luxe mane. He makes his way past my collarbone, and clamps his mouth around my peaked tip. I cry out in pleasure as his other hand makes its way into my panties, rubbing my against my slick opening.

  “I love how wet you are for me, Eden.” He brings his finger to his mouth and gives it a suck. “I can tell you’ll taste better than anything you brought in that picnic basket, baby.”

  “Why don’t you taste me and find out?” My voice quivers. Dane’s hooded eyes sparkle, as if entranced as he pulls my panties off and positions himself between my legs, rubbing my dripping wet center like it’s a precious jewel.

  “Everything about you is beautiful.” His tongue teases my opening. I squirm from the pressure as he presses one finger inside of me, kissing and sucking at my engorged nub. Heat erupts in my core as his satin tongue expertly teases my center. “I love wearing your juices on my lips.”

  I swallow back any self-consciousness I have about the dirty talk, shocked and intrigued by the added excitement it gives me. Dane continues pleasing me with his fingers and mouth, sending me to the brink of release and then backing off in time for me to enjoy the process all over again.

  “Oh my God, please. Dane, I have to come.” My dry throat constricts any power left in my voice. “I need it.” My hips thrust against his face. I can’t take much more of this, my body’s aching for release.

  He looks up at me from between my legs, and for the first time shoots me a devilish grin. He goes right for my most tender spots, inside and out sucking my erect nub and tapping his finger so deep inside of me that when the release finally comes, it’s like a dam breaking open. Stars form behind my eyes. Noises I’ve never made in my entire life escape from my mouth as I ride out the wave of pleasure all over Dane’s gorgeous face.

  My arm shoots over my eyes. Uneven, heavy breaths cause my bare chest to rise and fall, nipples still rock hard. It takes me longer than expected to recover. When Dane moves my arm, and kisses me gently I can taste myself on his breath. The intimacy causes my center to twitch once more, and I grow wet again before I even know what’s happening.

  My hands press against the sides of his face. “I want you inside of me, Dane.” He smiles again, this time revealing his perfectly white teeth. I reach down and stroke his length, the tip already sticky and glistening. “I’m safe.”

  “Me too.” His breath catches in his throat when I rub him against my opening. He moves my hand and presses it back over my head. Now, it’s my turn to gasp. Slowly, expertly, Dane slides the tip of himself between my silky folds. I bite my lip as he enters me. His girth threatening to split me in two.

  “It hurts so good, Dane. And I love it.”

  His hair falls down into my face, caressing my cheek. I brush it back so that I can look into his eyes. My heart skips a beat and my head swirls. This is crazy, and irresponsible and I’ve never done anything like this. But somewhere deep down I know that this moment is exactly what’s supposed to happen. That Dane Caden may very well be the one.

  He presses in a little more until he’s all the way inside, a puzzle piece fitting into place. I gasp, pulling his body closer to mine until nearly all of his weight is on top of me. Dane plunges further into me than I’ve ever experienced. Our chests smack together, making strange and intriguing sounds as he grinds against me. I can’t hold out much longer. This man inherently knows my body and how to turn me on.

  His soft lips tickle my ear. “I’m going to come, baby.”

  “Come inside of me.” I say, reaching around and gripping his high, firm ass. He gives me one final push and I grind my tender spot against his pelvis. For the second time today, I twitch in ecstasy. I’m not the only one. Dane’s body convulses as he fills me with his seed. When he’s finished, he pulls out leaving a trail of hot, white liquid trailing down my ass.

  “No one’s ever made me come that hard.” He says. “Your body is amazing.” He presses two gentle kisses on my breasts, his long hair tickling me in the process.

  “That makes two of us, Dr. Caden.” I reach for my dress but his hand on mine stops me. When I glance at his face my heart swells. Something inside of Dane has shifted. The room seems lighter, happier. Maybe it’s the smile stretched across his face, or the natural sunlight streaming in from the kitchen, but there’s something new hanging in the air around him. Hope.

  “Leave it off.”

  “Dane, I can’t.” It only takes a second for his smile to falter. I shiver and cross my arms across my stomach. “Your house is freezing.”

  A roar of laughter fills the room, startling me. Dane lowers his face into his hands, shoulders shaking. I smile to myself. Of course his laugh is as huge as the rest of him.

  “What’s so funny?” I finally ask.

  He pulls me up by my hands and wraps me in a warm hug. “Just that you’re absolutely right, Eden. It’s been cold in here for far too long.” He lifts my chin and presses the sweetest kiss upon my lips. “But that all changes starting now, and I’m definitely going to need your help.”

  My heart swells in my chest. The golden hue in Dane’s eyes seems to take over the gray, making them appear hazel, and much warmer than I originally thought. “I’ll agree to that, but on one condition.”

  Dane raises one thick, dark eyebrow. “What’s that?”

  “You have to pay the two year fine.”

  Again, his roaring laugh stuns me. “I’ll do better than that, baby. I
’ll make a sizable donation to the building.”

  “Really?” I squeal, loving the feeling of his strong arms wrapped around me.

  “Eden, for you I’ll do anything.” He presses a kiss against my forehead and wraps me up in another strong hug. “Anything.”

  Wounds heal over time, and right here in this moment I make a promise to myself that not only will Dane know he’s capable of keeping me safe, but that I’ll always do the same thing for him. My sweet, wounded hero.

  Epilogue

  Dane

  One Year Later

  One day I woke up and my entire life had changed, all thanks to a sweet little librarian named Eden. I put the finishing touches of deep emerald paint on the bright, nursery wall. I wasn’t sure this would be the best choice but Eden said that with the indirect sunlight it’s a perfectly soothing shade for a new baby. As always, she’s right. She’s single handedly redesigned this home to its former glory. Something I thought would never happen, but then again who knew I’d ever find a woman as wonderful as Eden.

  I run my wrist across my forehead and admire my handiwork. With my insane hours at the hospital, usually we hire contractors for work but I wanted to paint this room myself and have a hand in the making of our son’s nursery.

  I set down the paint roller and take a long swig of my water. At the same time, my pregnant wife waltzes in rubbing her belly and glowing like the mother goddess she’s soon to become. “Oh it’s perfect!” She examines the freshly painted wall. “Earthy, natural, masculine and still—“

  “True to the history of the house.” I finish her sentence for her.

  “Do I say that a lot?”

  “The history of the house part? Yeah.” She presses her swollen belly up against me and runs her hand on the back of my freshly cropped hair. “But I don’t mind.” I press my lips against hers, still amazed that my life has taken such a wonderful turn. “Did I hear the phone ring?”

  Eden pulls back, nods, and smooths her eyebrow with her middle finger. “My cousin Sylvie called.”

  “The house phone?”

  “My cell’s dead.”

  “Eden…”

  “Don’t start, I fell asleep watching Netflix. The landline woke me up.” I have to roll my eyes. While Eden is the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet, she takes zero shit, especially from me.

  “Everything okay?”

  “Not really.” She licks her full lips and looks up at me with those doe eyes. “She’s on her way here.”

  “Now? From Connecticut?”

  “She’s already crossed the Colorado state line.”

  My face twists, but Eden’s look stops my line of questioning. For a woman who needs all the answers all of the time, she doesn’t like to be the one providing them. I figure it isn’t worth it. I trust her with all of my heart and soul. My hand stretches to her belly, my silver wedding ring shining against her oversized tank top. I can’t help but drink in her billowing cleavage. One of the perks of pregnancy is that her already perfect breasts grew even bigger. It drives her crazy, but I can’t get enough.

  I immediately stiffen in my pants, and pull my wife close. Her eyes widen when she feels my excitement. “I just said Sylvie’s on the way.”

  “But I just painted this entire nursery. Don’t I get some sort of reward?” I nibble the side of her cheek playfully. “My sexy, little librarian.”

  Eden giggles, squirming beneath my touch. Our playful kisses quickly turn passionate, and I take in the smell of her rose shampoo mixed with her newly acquired signature smell, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter.

  “Alright,” she whispers into my mouth. “But don’t take all day. Sylvie really is on her way.”

  “Baby,” I growl into her hair. “I can’t promise you anything.”

  “You’d think after all of these fourteen hour shifts you’d be exhausted.”

  I lift my wife up, cradling her in my arms like that first night she turned up on my porch. “When it comes to you, Eden, I have all the energy in the world.”

  “I love you so much.” She says, her dark eyes locked on mine.

  “You’re my world, baby. I love you more.” I look down at her tummy as I make my way toward our bedroom. “And you too, little one.”

  Sunlight streams from every open window in the house, silent except for the soft moans coming from the lips of my beautiful wife. My one, eternal love.
