Chapter 23
Kelley felt a swooping sensation as Reese carried her over the threshold of their Las Vegas suite. She laughed as he took off each of her high-heeled shoes and tossed them over his shoulder. As he lowered her beside the large bed, her silky sapphire blue dress slid to her upper thighs as he put her down before it fell to just above her knees again.
When he’d proposed to her yesterday, she’d thought she’d never be happier. But she was now, impossibly so. They had driven straight from Williams this morning. While she went shopping at a boutique for attire appropriate for a Las Vegas wedding, he’d gone to a western clothing store.
They’d tied the knot a mere hour ago but it felt like they’d been husband and wife for as long as she could remember.
“You are so beautiful, Detective McBride,” Reese said with a grin as he settled his hands on her hips.
She returned his grin and reached up to take off his cream-colored Stetson, which she tossed on a nearby chair. “You aren’t so bad yourself, Detective McBride,” she said as she ruffled his hair.
And he wasn’t bad at all. With his now mussed light brown hair, his vivid blue eyes and square features, not to mention the sensual curve of his lips…he was one of the sexiest men she’d ever had the pleasure of knowing.
He kissed her soundly, shutting down all thoughts in her mind of anything but being in his arms at that moment.
His kiss turned into something even more passionate and she matched his intensity. The desire to have him inside her was strong and it was all she could do to keep from ripping his western shirt open and unbuckling his belt.
She gave a little sigh as he moved his lips down her throat. Her sigh turned into a moan while he rubbed his thumbs over her nipples in circles that nearly took her breath away.
Even as she squirmed in his arms, he seemed determined to take it slow. She wanted him with an urgency that bordered on the frantic but she let him set the pace. She fell into it with a wanton abandon as he sent her mind spinning with desire.
He kissed lower, to where the neckline of her dress ended just above her breasts. She gave a little shudder of need as he dipped his tongue into her cleavage, teasing the sensitive skin between her breasts. She wanted more of him, needed more of him.
She shivered as he reached behind her and tugged down her dress’s zipper that traveled all the way down to the base of her spine. He pushed the dress over her shoulders and she let it slide down her arms before it dropped to the floor in a shimmering blue puddle. She stepped out of it and he carefully set the dress on the chair next to his Stetson.
He returned his gaze to her, looking like a man dying of thirst as he let his gaze drift over her petite form. She wore a black bra, as well as black panties and a garter with sheer stockings that she had purchased at the boutique to go under the dress she had been wearing.
When he met her eyes again, he said, “You know that you’re my everything, Kelley.”
She touched the side of his face, feeling the stubble along his jaws with her fingertips. “You are an amazing man. I feel blessed to have you at my side.”
He kissed her again, gripping her by her waist and drawing her up against him. She felt his erection pressing into her bare belly and the ache that had begun to grow between her thighs became sharper. He trailed his fingertips along the curve of her satiny bra and she gave a little gasp as he tugged her bra down, exposing her breasts.
With a rumble deep in his throat, he lowered his head and suckled first one nipple then the other. She slid her fingers into his soft hair and tipped her head back as the erotic sensations spread from her breasts to tingle in every part of her body.
He unfastened her bra and slid it down her arms then tossed the bra aside. He trailed his fingers from the curves of her breasts, down her sides to the top of her garters. “Let’s leave these on.”
She moaned as he slid his finger between her thighs over the damp satiny material covering her folds.
“I almost can’t believe you’re mine.” He moved his hands up and pushed his fingers into her hair and cupped the back of her head. “My beautiful, intelligent, sexy, kick-ass wife.”
She would have grinned if he weren’t doing such sensual things to her body. His every kiss, his every touch, was pure magic.
The fact that he still had clothes on made no sense to her at that moment. She reached for his cream-colored western shirt and ripped apart the pearl snaps, exposing the expanse of his muscular chest. She pushed the shirt over his shoulders and he shrugged out of it so that it fell to the floor.
Her heart beat faster as he toed off his boots and kicked them aside. In moments he had peeled his socks off and she reached for his silver belt buckle. She didn’t fumble as she undid the belt and then she was unzipping his black western dress slacks. She pushed down his slacks and his boxer briefs and he stepped out of them.
A sigh of pleasure escaped her when she reached for his cock. The soft skin felt silky over the hard length that she wanted to more than touch, she wanted to taste it too. But he seemed more intent on feeling her body against his, the heat of their need making it almost too much to bear.
He scooped her up in his arms, catching her by surprise, and carried her to the huge bed at the center of the room. He laid her on the bed and looked down at her. She felt warmth upon her skin, everywhere his gaze touched her.
“Come to me.” She held out her arms to him.
He lowered himself so that his arms were braced to either side of her.
His jaw tightened as he held himself still. “What do you say we give Belle a little brother or sister?”
Kelley smiled. “I say that sounds perfect.”
His hips spread her thighs further apart. He pulled aside the panties of her garter, exposing her folds.
She reached between them and grasped his cock, guiding him into her core. She gasped with pleasure as he filled her, his length driving so deep he reached her G-spot. He began rocking in and out of her, his cock making her crazy with the need to climax. He took her slowly, making love to her with his body and his eyes.
His strokes became firmer and harder and she moaned as she grew closer and closer to climax. She felt as if her mind was spinning, need growing inside her like a living thing that would soon take over her body and mind.
And then her body seemed to explode with heat and fire. She cried out, not caring about anything but the man between her thighs and her love and passion for him. Lights and colors flashed in her vision.
As she came down from her high, her core continued to spasm around his cock as he moved in and out of her. She looked into the face she loved and saw the fierceness in his expression.
She reached between them and brushed his balls with her fingertips and he seemed to explode, too, as he came hard. He closed his eyes as he thrust and his jaw was tense, his expression as fiery as the flames of her orgasm which continued to heat her body as he moved in and out.
And then he pressed his body tightly to hers and it was as if they were one, joined together in more ways than only marriage.
With a groan he took her into his arms, rolling with her and keeping her close to him. As he tucked her next to him, she felt something that she hadn’t felt since her mother passed away. It was a feeling of coming home, of having a refuge to go to whenever she needed one.
“I love you so very much, Reese.” She snuggled more fully against him. “I can’t imagine having anyone in my life who I could possibly love more than I love you.”
He kissed her forehead. “You are an amazing woman, Kelley. I know I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. I love you more than I have words to say.”
And with that she smiled and knew that she had her happy ending.
