CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Bryce opened the door to his apartment and led Daphne inside. Kicking it closed with his boot, he let out a long breath. “Finally.”
He took her hand and pulled her into the bedroom and framed her face with his hands. “Are you ready to show me what’s mine?”
“Well, I guess so.”
“No guessing, I need to know if you’re ready.” She stepped back and unzipped her dress. “I’ll take that as a yes.” Watching the dress fall to the floor made him groan. “Damn, thought I was prepared to see you naked, but you take my breath away.” He stared at her lacy white bra encasing her full breasts and thought he’d died and gone to heaven.
Her beauty stole his words.
“Say something.”
He watched her hands move to her stomach and he immediately took them in his. “You are the sexiest, most desirable woman in the universe.”
“I don’t think…”
Moving his finger to her mouth, he pressed firmly. “Don’t you dare say anything about the woman of my dreams.” Her eyes crinkled, and he let his finger go. “So damn hot.”
He slid his hands down her body and pushed the cup of her bra beneath her breast and grazed his nail gently over her skin. Feeling her shudder, he leaned down and sucked her nipple into his mouth. How could anyone taste as sweet as she did?
He played with her and tortured her with his hands and mouth until she moaned, and her hips began to move.
“More,” she said quietly
Lifting his mouth away, he looked up and grinned and saw her eyes were filled with wonder. “Definitely time for more,” he replied as he got rid of her bra. Lifting her into his arms, he then deposited her on the bed. “Ready?”
Raising her hand, she took his and pulled him down. “More than ready.”
He came down on top of her and bracketed her in, pressing a hard kiss to her lips as he swept his tongue throughout her luscious mouth. “So good.”
She moaned and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him close, and he welcomed the connection. Skating his free hand down, he tugged at her panties and felt them rip free.
“A little impatient?” she asked as she moved her face away from his neck.
“Definitely.” Licking his lips, he looked down at her bare pussy, glistening with arousal, and leaned down so he could breathe in her desire.
His cock hardened as need raced through him. “I want you more than I thought was possible.”
“Take me, then.”
Her lower body arched, and he welcomed the invitation as he stroked the delicate folds with his fingers before lowering his mouth for his first taste.
One long, leisurely lap of his tongue around her swollen flesh and he felt her hips buck in response. With deliberate precision, he licked and teased until she was dripping her desire on his tongue. He lapped it up and continued his assault.
Moaning and shifting beneath him, he held her down with his hands and took her higher. He thrust one finger in and curled it forward.
“Bryce!”
He knew she was close and pressed hard against just the right spot, sending her into ecstasy. Her body trembled, and he continued pushing his tongue down on her clit.
Crying out, her orgasm swept through her as she rolled her hips against his mouth and exploded.
His cock throbbed in response to her unapologetic sounds of pleasure that filled the room. Keeping her there on the edge, he continued to lick and caress her as she came down.
He released his grip and looked up and noticed his thumbs had left dark thumbprints on her skin. “Mine,” he said as he stood. He got rid of his clothes in seconds and watched her satisfied smile. Standing above her, he held her gaze and he gripped his erection, pumping it as he wondered how he was going to survive being buried inside her body.
Once he slid into her he was never going to let her go, and he hoped like hell she would at some point understand that being together wasn’t a choice for them.
It simply was.
***
Daphne took in the view and couldn’t believe the man before her was real. He was literally an Adonis in human form. His wide shoulders, muscle-packed chest, and long powerful legs were drool-worthy.
And his smile – that was, in fact, his most appealing and dangerous feature.
A deadly one was pointed in her direction and she knew she’d do whatever he asked. Watching him pump himself from base to head let her know that whatever she was in for was going to be incredible. “Are you going to join me?”
“Oh, yeah, we’re going to be joined alright.”
He dropped down slowly like a predator, blanketing her with his body. His chest hair brushed against her sensitive nipples and his hard abs pressed against her belly as his huge erection teased her.
And though she didn’t expect another orgasm, she found her body clenching at the idea of having him inside her, filling her up as he thrust deeply.
Lifting himself up, he braced his hands on either side of her head and gave her a heated look right before kissing her. His tongue glided into her mouth, and he took his time turning the kiss into a spell as he imitated the thrust and retreat she was hungry to experience with him thick and hard inside her body. Desire shimmered across her skin and she wrapped her legs around his waist, needing to feel him.
He released her mouth and put his finger against her chin. Seeing his dilated pupils let her know she was moments away from being consumed whole. When he didn’t say anything, she wasn’t sure what he was looking for or needed.
“Give yourself to me.”
“Everything?”
“Everything, let me have the part of you that no one ever has.”
Seeing his need, she nodded her head in agreement and watched his head drop in acceptance. Whatever she was in for was not only going to give her unknown pleasure but bind them together.
He moved his body over hers again and guided his thick erection over her clit. Shuddering, she moved her hands to his shoulders and found her mind unraveling as his shaft moved against her bud, up and down, back and forth, harder and harder until her hips rotated in time to his movements.
The rhythm combined with the intense pressure built a craving deep inside her body that she didn’t know was possible. She whimpered as her need to have him inside her took over her body. “Please, Bryce.”
“That’s it, give yourself to me and feel my hard cock against your dripping pussy.”
Satisfaction was just out of reach as she trembled, her hips thrusting upward, seeking relief. He rocked his hips against her with utter perfection and her climax hit as she screamed his name.
The orgasm was so intense, but she still needed him inside.
He rose to his knees and grabbed a condom, ripping the package with his teeth as he sheathed himself. “Now, are you ready for me to own you completely?”
Nodding, she closed her eyes and felt his finger on her cheek as he stroked her gently. Opening her eyes slowly, she saw his intense gaze.
“Keep your eyes on me,” he commanded with dark intent.
His gaze never left hers as he positioned himself at her entrance and thrust home.
He filled her completely and pinpricks of light danced in front of her eyes and emotions clogged her chest. He hadn’t been kidding when he said he’d own her because right now there wasn’t a part of her that he wasn’t touching and that included her heart.
All the barriers she was so familiar with started to crumble as his body moved inside of hers. Feeling tears gather, she swallowed them down and prayed he didn’t notice.
He stopped moving immediately. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s just…”
“Am I hurting you?” he asked with a strangled voice.
“No, it’s just been a long time and you’re big and I need to adjust.” Would he buy the lie? She sure hoped so because admitting to the deep feelings she was having was not anything she wanted to do.
“Do you want to stop?”
“No way, we’re about to get to the good stuff.”
“The other stuff wasn’t good?”
Letting out a laugh, she lifted her hand to his face. “It was spectacular.” She opened her hips and pulled him deeper.
“That I can work with.”
He lowered his head and dropped his mouth to her nipple and teased her until she was writhing beneath him.
Was the impossible happening?
Was she going to come again?
Rolling her hips, she cried out as the third blessed orgasm of the night crashed over her body.
“So wet and ready,” he said as he began pumping.
Taking her hard and fast, she writhed against him as her climax seemed never to end. It seemed his want and need knew no bounds as he took all of her as each hard thrust pushed him deeper each time.
Again and again, he pulled out and slid back in with deadly precision. It didn’t take him long and, within minutes, he detonated inside her.
Holding onto his massive frame, she felt his body jerk until he collapsed on top of her. His sweat-soaked body covering her as their ragged breathing mingled together.
He’d taken her like a man possessed and she knew that the warrior in him had needed to conquer her. Not minding one bit, she kissed his neck and ran her hand slowly up and down his back.
Long moments passed, and she thought about what their relationship was going to be like now that they’d been intimate.
Every barrier she had was destroyed and she was raw and open. While it was scary as hell, it was also liberating because she knew there was no choice.
He was now in her heart.
Rolling off her, he got rid of the condom and then curled around her. “Now we’re bound, and nothing will break that.”
Not knowing how to respond, she felt his hold tighten and gave into exhaustion and knew his words held more than a bit of truth.
