~Elli~
Explosions. Fireworks. Niagra Falls. Everything colossal that comes to mind. That was me the second Raiden made me come. Actually, I think I almost passed out. The occasional date with my B.O.B. was all right. But this… this was on another level. In the capable hands of a man.
The past two years, thinking about having this kind of intimacy with someone who wasn’t my husband was out of the question. When it actually came down to it, I think I was more than ready because not at any time did I have a second thought.
Now that I’m pulled close to Raiden’s chest and I am in a state of unadulterated satiated bliss? No regrets. Not one. It’s almost comical in a way. For so long I was afraid to do anything that might mean me moving on, but I did this. I basically jumped this super-hot guy… And I don’t feel bad. It makes me smile.
I snuggle in closer, loving how it feels to be in Raiden’s arms. His biceps flex against my skin and I love that too. He’s so strong. I could feel it when he was handling me. It was absolutely delish.
And oh God when he sucked his fingers with me all over them… I couldn’t even handle it.
I close my eyes, listening to his heart, beating so steady and strong. He’s alive, here with me. It’s been so long since I’ve heard a man’s heartbeat. Thoughts of how weird that is float through my sleepy head as I fall asleep nestled into my Marine’s chest.
I am beyond warm. My face is pressed into something warm and it definitely isn’t my dog’s fur.
Huh. What?
I peel my eyes open and am met face to face with an absurd amount of ink on a hard defined chest. The chest of a man. A man in my bed. A man I am currently pressed up against. I start to panic a little bit, then realize I am an idiot and it’s just Raid.
Oh good.
I distance myself a bit and try to untangle our limbs.
“Mmm, was wondering when you were gonna wake up.”
My eyes shoot up to his and they open slowly, giving me a panty-melting smile.
Oh Lord help me.
“How long have you been awake?” My voice is low, edged with sleep with a tint of lust.
Like I said, Lord help me.
“Couple hours, fell back asleep here and there.”
I roll over so I can see what time it is on the alarm clock next to the bed and it’s close to ten am.
“Raiden! You could’ve woken me up, I never sleep this late!”
He just shrugs. “I wanted to let you sleep, you seemed pretty comfortable.”
I can’t help but smile at how considerate he is. “Yeah, well I bet you were bored to tears.”
“Actually,” stretching his arms above his head, “I had some entertainment.”
Two things cross my mind. One, when did he take his shirt off? Two, what!
I give him the side eye.
“And what entertained you?”
Sitting up, giving me the full view of his chest, abs, arms, oh my word.
“You were having quite the conversation in your sleep.” He winks.
The big jerk just winks at me. As for me, I know my face is fifty shades of red and I am beyond embarrassed.
I shove his shoulder. “What! What did I say!”
He starts laughing, probably at my attempt to shove him, like it did anything.
“Oh, just about how hot you think I am.” He winks again.
Oh he’s gonna get it.
I fling myself at him ready to give him a piece of my mind but he anticipates it because he catches me and flips me so I’m pinned under him. I put on a grumpy face and stare up at him.
“You are so lying.”
He kisses my nose. “Yeah, I am. But you didn’t deny it did you?”
My lips quiver, trying to keep up the grumpy act and not bust into a wide smile.
“Is my girl gonna give me a smile?” I shake my head. “How about now?” he says, kissing my forehead.
“Nope.”
He moves to my cheek and places a gentle kiss. “Now?”
“No way.” On the inside, I am giddy as all hell but I like this game too much to stop now.
Moving to my other cheek he kisses it. “Not even now?”
I shake my head, totally about to fail at the not smiling thing. He gets close, his nose brushing against mine. My lips part as my breathing picks up. “Elli, you better smile for me.” He narrows his eyes.
I shake my head no, our noses touching in an unintentional Eskimo kiss.
His voice comes out low and deep. “What about now?” His tongue snakes out and runs along the seam of my bottom lip.
Our breaths mingle together, our mouths so close. I’m so losing this game. I want to kiss him. I want to kiss him more than I want to breathe. My brain is shorting out, no other thoughts than just how badly I need to taste his lips against mine. He must know this is how he’s going to win this little game because he runs his tongue along my upper lip next. As if I am not already coming undone he moves one of his legs in between both of mine and applies just the right amount of pressure where I need it.
Oh Lord, I need it.
He’s teasing my lips with his, brushing them lightly against mine, knowing exactly how he’s driving me crazy. I let out a little whimper telling him he has to give me more. I don’t know if I can take any more of this so I bring my hands up to try and crush him down on my lips but before I can get anywhere close he grabs both of my hands and shoves them above my head holding my wrists in one of his big hands. My eyes widen, never having been handled like that. It wasn’t hurtful…it was hot.
He looks me in the eyes. “Nope, no touching.” His voice is so deep and sexual. If an orgasm had a trigger noise, it would be Raiden Michael’s voice.
He lowers his face down to mine once more and I’m ready to obey, I’ll be a good little girl until he gives me what I want.
I’ll try at least. No promises here.
He brushes his lips slowly and lightly across mine until I’m ready to whimper. Just as the noise creeps up my throat he presses his knee harder up against me, making my clit practically go nuclear.
Just as a screaming moan pierces through my throat, Raiden crashes his lips against mine, swallowing the sound whole. This kiss is different, this kiss is claiming. His tongue dominating mine, his lips so hard and soft at the same time, making me understand.
Understand who’s in charge here.
His knee moves in circles against me and I am so close I can practically taste it. I moan again, the sound mingled with his deep guttural growl, his hand holding my wrists flexing and tightening. I grind up against him so close to release, wanting him so badly I can’t even see straight. He takes his other hand and dives into my shorts and panties, the second he touches my swollen bud, I go cataclysmic. Behind my closed eyelids all I see are shooting stars and outer space.
I’m still moaning and Raid is slowing his kisses down, still swallowing my sexual noises, his hand stilling on my clit, so sensitive I shudder. He releases my hands. I open my eyes and he’s staring down at me, an expression I don’t recognize on his face.
“What is it Raid?” I whisper.
He presses his lips against mine in a tender passionate kiss.
“Nothing, baby girl, you’re just so fucking gorgeous when you come.”
