Corvus entered the hotel room triggering the shade to automatically raise and display the evening skyline. He walked over to the floor to ceiling window and gazed out at the illuminated buildings.
Smiling, he looked down at the woman in his arms, who was admiring the scene before them. She turned to him with a huge smile.
“This is so beautiful,” Miracle whispered.
“You are beautiful, Mrs. Shaw.”
She squeezed him tightly. “I can’t believe we did this.”
“Girl, I waited forever for you to make up your mind,” Corvus told her.
“It’s been three weeks, Corvus,”
He kissed her softly. “Three weeks that seemed like forever.”
“You’re very persuasive,” Miracle said kissing his jaw.
He smiled. “You just liked the things we did together.”
“I’m looking forward to more things,” she said giving him a sexy look.
Corvus promptly carried her to the bedroom and laid her on the bed before turning on a nearby lamp. He looked down at her and she smiled. Corvus took in her white dress and matching shoes, before starting to remove them. He lifted her leg in the air and removed one strappy shoe then moved to the other, tossing both aside.
Miracle beckoned him with a single finger and he slowly climbed onto the bed then began kissing her hotly. She wrapped her arms around him and locked her legs around his waist before Corvus lifted his head and looked down into her face.
“Did you enjoy the flight?”
“I was nervous at first, with it being my first time, but it was fine,”
Corvus continued to stare into her face. “Did I tell you how beautiful you looked tonight?”
Miracle smiled and nodded. “Yes, you told me when I got dressed, you told Faith and Dante when they arrived, you told everyone at the Chapel, you told the driver and anyone else you saw.”
He nodded. “Okay, as long you know.”
Miracle’s eyes watered and she whispered. “I love you, Corvus.”
“I know that it’s fast, but trust that I know what I’m doing. If I had any doubts that I couldn’t make you happy, I would’ve never started this,” he told her softly. “I love you, Miracle, and nothing is ever going to change that.”
She touched his face. “I trust you, my love.”
“And I will worship you, my Little Goddess.” He kissed her again before getting to his feet to remove his tuxedo jacket. Miracle got to her knees on the bed to assist in removing his tie.
Corvus smiled down at her and dropped his hands to his sides while she went about the task. “You looked very handsome tonight too,” she told him.
“I saw you checking me out,” he teased her.
She paused. “I was,” she confirmed. “I wondered how such a good-looking man wanted to be mine.” Slowly removing his tie, she moved to his shirt.
Corvus moved his hands to her waist. “I was made to be yours.”
Miracle lifted a brow. “You just made some stops along the way?”
He laughed. “Quite a few…but when it was time, my traveling was over.”
She focused on the buttons. “I hope so…”
Corvus stopped her hands and waited until she lifted her gaze to his. “That’s something that you never have to be concerned about. One, because I’d never hurt you and two, my father, my brother and the Negus would all beat my ass.”
“They love their wives,” Miracle commented.
“They’d kill for them,” Corvus affirmed. “And I’d do the same for you.”
He kissed her hands before she went back to his shirt. “I wouldn’t want you to do that.”
Corvus pulled her against him. “No one will ever hurt you.”
Miracle finished the buttons then ran her hands along his firm, warm chest before helping him out of his shirt. He tossed it aside and held her gaze as he helped her off the bed.
“Turn around,” he commanded softly and she obeyed.
She bit her lip and waited for him to unfasten her dress. Miracle had chosen this dress, with Faith’s help, when she, Corvus, Faith and Dante had gone shopping in Vegas for their wedding apparel. When she’d agreed to marry Corvus, he’d promptly presented the plane tickets that he’d booked days before.
Miracle didn’t even question how he’d known she would agree, but she had, so it was a moot point. Corvus had brought along Faith and Dante as their witnesses and had explained that all the Negus were currently taking care of babies and he didn’t want to take them away from their family.
However, they all had been informed of his plans and along with the Nigist and the First Lady, they were planning a huge reception when the couple returned to Detroit. Miracle closed her eyes as she felt Corvus’ hands on her unzipping her wedding dress.
“Your family was okay with not being here?” she whispered.
“They’re fine,” he assured her. “They understood that I didn’t want to wait.”
She looked back over her shoulder at him. “They’re used to you getting your way.”
“I’m the baby,”
Miracle turned back with a smile. “I’m not going to spoil you.”
Corvus pushed her dress down her body where it pooled at her feet. He tilted his head and looked at her in her wedding lingerie from behind.
“Oh, yeah baby…you will.”
Miracle turned to him and saw his heated gaze. “How?”
Corvus lifted her and wrapped her legs around his bare back as she looked down at him. “I’m going to take my time and show you,” he whispered and she lowered her mouth to his.
Miracle felt the familiar heat begin to spread throughout her body. This was now her husband and she didn’t have to hold back anything from him. Corvus was right, she was going to spoil him by giving him everything that he desired.
She felt his hands as they moved to cup her bottom. He squeezed gently and she moaned softly into his mouth. “Can I make love to my pretty wife?” Corvus asked against her lips.
Miracle framed his face, while breathing heavily. “Thank you for waiting.”
He kissed her again. “Thank you for waiting.”
“That was important to you?” she asked.
He nodded. “It was a requirement for my Goddess.”
Miracle pulled back and looked at him. “Really?”
“Yes,”
“But you were…”
He shook his head. “Doesn’t matter, I want my touch to be the only one my wife knows.”
“You know that’s very hypocritical,” Miracle pointed out.
Corvus held her tighter. “Isn’t that why you waited?”
“Yes,” she admitted. “I wanted to be pure for my husband.”
He smiled. “So it all worked out perfectly.”
“What were the other requirements?” she inquired, giving him a look.
Corvus pursed his lips in thought. “Hmmm…she had to be fine, able to cook, liked music,” he paused as she listened. “Understood my business and was a lady in public.”
“And in private?”
He grinned before making them both fall to the bed. Lying on top of her, he whispered, “She releases all of that fire.”
“I can unleash my secret desires?” she asked watching him.
Corvus licked her lips. “Nothing is off limits.”
Miracle caught her breath before attaching mouth to his and surrendering over to his masculine power. Corvus lifted her arms above her head and intertwined his finger with hers while making slow, sweet love to her mouth.
When she began to wiggle and squirm underneath him, he stood and reached for his belt. His gaze was on her, lying on the bed in her underwear. Underwear that he was about to remove very quickly, he thought.
Sliding out of his slacks, Corvus reached into the nightstand where he’d placed the protection they’d need for their stay in Vegas. He tossed a few onto the bed and Miracle looked over at them.
“We’re using those?” she asked.
Corvus paused. “Is that a problem?”
Miracle looked at him. “We’re married.”
“Okay, so you don’t want to use condoms,” he tried to clarify.
“I didn’t think that married people use those,” she told him quietly.
Corvus moved the packages to the nightstand and sat on the bed. “If we don’t use anything, you’re probably going to be pregnant before we leave here.”
Miracle looked at him. “You don’t want that?”
He shook his head. “I’m not saying that,” he corrected. “But I didn’t want to rush you.”
“You married me in three weeks and you don’t want to rush me?” Miracle asked.
Corvus gave her a look. “I meant into having babies.”
“Your mother wants babies,” she told him with a smile.
He laid back and pulled her into his arms. “Do you want babies? I don’t care what anyone else wants.”
Miracle studied this incredible man who’d taken over her life. “Yes, I want your babies, Corvus. I want to be with you as husband and wife until we are no longer two, but one flesh.”
His hand went to the band of her panties and tugged slowly before pushing them down her smooth legs. Next, with a flick of the wrist, her bra was released and quickly removed from her body. Finally, his mouth was on her body while his big hands held her in place.
Miracle caressed the back of his head running her hands over his precision haircut as his neatly trimmed beard moved across her skin.
“Corvus…” she breathed as his tongue stroked her nipple before sucking on the hardened bud.
His hands moved lower to touch her virginal spot and Miracle threw her head back. When he delved deeper with his finger, she tensed. Corvus felt her tightness and his erection grew even harder. He knew that if he tried to make love to her right now, it wouldn’t be the most enjoyable experience for her and he wanted Miracle to always look back on their first time together as the best thing that had ever happened to her.
He moved away slowly and she looked at him concerned. “I’m sorry. I…”
Corvus kissed the words from her mouth. “You didn’t do anything wrong baby; your body isn’t ready yet.”
He kissed her again and moved from the bed. “Stay right here.”
Miracle watched him head into the adjoined bathroom and placed her hands over her face. “Please Lord, don’t let me mess this up. He waited for me…”
She heard water running and Corvus returned a few minutes later. He smiled when he saw that she’d pulled the covers over her naked body. Extracting her from the sheet, he picked her up.
“Come on Little Goddess, I have something special for you.”
He carried her into the bathroom where the oversized Jacuzzi tub was filled with water. Gently, he sat her inside then removing his underwear and socks before joining her. He sat on the opposite side of the tub watching her as she looked around.
“Is it warm enough?” he asked and she nodded, now looking at him.
Corvus sat back for a minute looking her over and getting his mind right. “Do you know what Tantra is?” he asked.
Miracle shook her head. “No,”
He moved closer and used a hand to instruct her to do the same. When they were face to face, with her legs around him, he kissed her. “It’s a form of mind sex,” he explained.
“Mind sex?” she whispered confused.
“It enhances the physical sex,” Corvus told her. “And takes you to another level.”
Miracle stared at him. “This is what you do?”
He shook his head. “No, I know how, but there was never anyone I wanted to get that deep with.”
“Where did you learn it?”
He grinned. “From my father.”
Miracle smiled. “I guess your mother is a blessed woman.”
“Let me bless you,” Corvus whispered and pulled her closer until she wrapped her arms around his neck.
“What do I do?” Miracle whispered.
“We inhale one another,” Corvus instructed.
“Excuse me?”
“You breathe out and I breathe you in, then vice versa,” he told her. “And we let our spirits unite.”
Miracle frowned. “Is this like magic?”
Corvus laughed softly. “No baby, it just feels like it.”
“Now pucker up and blow,” he told her.
Miracle blew softly into his face while he inhaled deeply. They reversed roles and she breathed in, following his example.
Their eyes connected and held, while their breathing filled the room. The connection was electric as their minds united in preparation for a sensual union. After a few minutes, Corvus touched her face.
“Touch me, Little Goddess…”
“Where?” she whispered.
“Everywhere…”
Slowly, Miracle began to explore his beautiful, mahogany body. The many hills and valleys constructed by his muscles made her caress them firmly. His neck, shoulder and torso sat above the water and she enjoyed the feel of them until she reached his abdomen, where she paused.
“Keep going…” he whispered.
Miracle’s hands slipped beneath the water with her eyes locked with his. When her hands touched the part that made him male, he groaned in his throat. His response spurred her on and she began to gently massage the rigidness in her hands.
“What do you want me to do?” Miracle asked and lifted her wet hands to link them around his neck.
“Come here,” he said pulling her flush against his body causing the water to move around them. “Let me touch you.”
Where Miracle’s exploration had been hesitant, Corvus’ was sure and with a purpose. That purpose was to set her completely on fire. By the time he slid his finger into her virginal spot underneath the water, she sighed in ecstasy.
“I love you Miracle,” he breathed in her ear as his hands kneaded her breasts.
She held on tighter and moved closer. “I want you…now.”
“Are you ready?” he asked removing his hand and replacing it with something much firmer.
At the initial contact, her gaze widened then darkened as he moved a little deeper and paused. Miracle stared at him.
“Is that it?” she asked breathlessly.
He smiled and kissed her neck. “Not at all baby…a little at a time until you get used to it.”
Miracle lowered herself to receive more. “Oh!” she exclaimed.
“Yeah, there’s more. Take your time.” He took her mouth voraciously as he guided her hips to continuously accept more of him.
When she was filled completely, she stared down at him before he blew her mind completely…
Whatever Miracle had expected this was nowhere in the vicinity. Corvus pressed a button and the jets began shooting water around them. He guided her up and down over his shaft and she lost her breath with each rotation.
Corvus breathed into her mouth as she held on with all of her strength to keep up with this ride of her life. When her body convulsed in an unimaginable fashion, she stared at him in surprise until she felt another tide rising and exploding inside of her, filling her with warmth.
“Oh my God!” Miracle screamed.
“Yes, I’m yours,” Corvus growled and she collapsed against his shoulder breathing heavily.
Corvus stroked her back with a wet hand for a few minutes, as she buried her face in his neck.
“Are you good?” he whispered over the jets.
Miracle nodded. “It did feel like magic…”
“We’re going to make it all night, every night…” Corvus promised her.
******
The next morning Corvus stood staring out of the window with a towel around his waist. He looked back at the bed where Miracle was sprawled across the mattress. His Little Goddess had given her best effort to keep up and he’d enjoyed every minute of her.
Corvus smiled at her sweet face in repose. Everything about Miracle was so beautiful and he found that he simply wanted to love her. His family and hers, excluding her father, had all been ecstatic about their union. Miracle had decided not to inform the Bishop until their return. She hadn’t wanted anything to spoil her day and Corvus had agreed.
He turned back to the window and stared out over the city. They were on the top floor with a scenic view of the skyline. Faith and Dante were in a room down the hall and Miracle’s smile had made purchasing their tickets and bringing them along, worth the while.
Quietly, he made his way to the living room and opened the automatic shade to let the sun into the room. Shielding his eyes, he squinted at the buildings in the distance. They wouldn’t be visiting any of the casinos but he would show his wife a good time while on their mini-honeymoon. Her real honeymoon would last more than three days.
When she’d finally agreed to marry him, Corvus had wasted no time. He didn’t want her to have any second thoughts, so he’d put her on a plane and had no regrets. Dealing with her father, when they got back home, was something he wasn’t looking forward to, because if the man said or did anything to hurt his Miracle, it was a wrap.
Miracle was everything that he’d asked for and far more than he’d imagined. The fact that she hadn’t wanted to use contraceptives had been a surprise, but a welcomed one. Being one with her in their natural flesh had been amazing and had done something to him that he hadn’t expected.
“Good morning,” a soft voice beckoned him to turn around.
He smiled at the sight of her, dressed in one of the hotel robes with the sleeves hanging past her hands.
“Great awakenings, Little Goddess,”
Miracle slowly approached and stood before him. Quietly, she placed a hand on his bare chest as he stared down her.
“Did I wake you?” he asked.
“No, but I wondered where you went when I did wake up,” she answered.
Corvus stroked her cheek. “If I stayed in that bed, I would definitely have awakened you.”
Miracle smiled. “I wouldn’t have minded.”
He leaned down to kiss her good morning before enfolding her in his arms. “I’ll remember that,” Corvus whispered in her ear.
“I still can’t believe that we are here,” Miracle said glancing out of the window. “And that we’re actually married.” She turned back to him.
“You can’t get away now,” he teased her.
“I don’t want to,”
“Do you want breakfast?” Corvus asked.
Miracle shook her head. “No,” She lifted on her tiptoes to place her lips to his. “I am my beloved’s and his desire is for me…”
“And your desire?” he questioned.
“Is for you,” Miracle answered. “Only you.”
Corvus tugged at the belt of her robe and opened the two sides to reveal her glorious nakedness. He slid his arms inside and picked her up before he pressed her naked breasts against his chest and grasped her naked butt cheeks.
Corvus carried her to the bedroom and removed her robe and his towel before placing her on the bed. Miracle laid on her back and stared up into his dark eyes. When he took her leg and lifted it to his mouth, she felt the automatic warmth that occurred with his touch.
His hot tongue traveled up her leg to her thigh and she sighed as his beard tickled her leg. Corvus pressed her legs apart and stared up at her.
“I didn’t tell you that I love you today,” Miracle whispered.
“You tell me every time you smile at me,”
She couldn’t contain the smile that she gave him before he lowered his head to show her one of the many ways he would love her. At the first touch, she closed her eyes and what followed took her breath and made her see stars behind her lids.
Corvus knew she was ready from the flood on his tongue and climbed over her body. He kissed her forehead over her closed eyes. Moving down to her lips, he suckled them slowly before she opened her mouth to welcome him.
Easing inside her body, he whispered against her lips, “I love you Miracle.”
She responded by welcoming him further inside. Corvus intertwined his fingers with hers while the room filled with sounds of sighs of passion and moans of heated lust. Miracle heard her name in her ears, but was too far gone to respond.
This is what she had waited for, to be loved completely by a man that she loved completely. With each deep stoke, she felt herself falling deeper. Each spoken word of love and adoration made her never want to leave this place with him.
Corvus, for his part, was amazed that this little woman could do what she did to him. Making love to his tight Little Goddess was addicting. Although, he’d never had a problem finding a willing partner, there had never been a partner who touched him on the level that Miracle did. Her soft touch, and sweet body made him never want to leave the comfort of her warmth.
Together they reached their apex and stared at one another in the aftermath. Corvus balanced his weight over her, on his elbows. With their bodies still joined, Miracle stroked his muscled arm.
“Do you want breakfast now?” Corvus asked.
“I am hungry,”
He kissed her lightly. “You haven’t eaten since yesterday. I don’t want you to pass out.”
“I don’t want to leave this,” she confessed. “Not even to eat.”
Corvus smiled down at her. “I’m not going anywhere, baby. This is yours whenever you want.”
She lifted her face to his and they shared a hot mingling of mouths. He lifted his head and said, “Let’s eat.”
Miracle nodded and they reluctantly separated for the time being. Corvus led her to the shower and they washed away the remnants of their lovemaking. The breakfast that Corvus called in, arrived in short order and the couple took a seat at the small table across from one another.
“I can’t believe you have me eating in my underwear in front of a window,” Miracle told him.
Corvus gave her a look. “If it was entirely up to me, you’d be eating naked.”
She gave him a grin and held out her hands to him. “Maybe next time.”
Smiling, he took them and kissed the backs. Miracle closed her eyes and said grace for them both before they began their meal.
“I wonder what Faith and Dante are doing?” Miracle asked aloud.
“Gambling their asses off,” Corvus answered. “And everything else.”
She laughed and shook her head. “You’re probably right.”
“We’ll have dinner with them tonight,” Corvus told her.
Miracle looked up at him. “You’re going to let me out of this room?”
He shrugged. “We brought them along so it’s the least we can do, but we won’t see them again until we leave.”
She took a bite of her food. “I’m not complaining. I’m here with a handsome man who loves me.” Miracle looked at the diamond on hand. “A lot.”
“I’m in this beautiful hotel room, eating a delicious meal…” She smiled. “I can’t ask for more.”
Corvus ate his food. “You can ask for anything that you want.”
Miracle held his gaze. “I have everything I could ever pray for.”
“We still have to deal with your father and Emanuel when we get back, among other things,” Corvus reminded her.
She sighed. “I know.” Then she smiled. “We should stay here forever.”
“Don’t tempt me, girl.”
Miracle laughed. “I don’t care what the Bishop or Emanuel have to say,” she told him. “I’m happy and nothing can change that.”
Corvus took her hand and led her around the table to sit on his lap. “I’m holding you to that, Little Goddess.” He looked into her face. “Things may get very crazy when we return to Detroit.”
She locked her arms around his neck. “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion,” she recited.
Miracle kissed him softly and said, “We are one and if anyone comes after you, they’re coming for both of us.”
