Chapter 14
Kate
“Good morning, Mrs. Carter.”
Mrs. Carter. That’s me!
I smile and press a kiss to my husband’s chest.
Holy shit. This is real.
I’m married.
For real.
Forever.
There are no cameras. No hairdressers. No wardrobe people. No makeup. Or microphones. No paparazzi.
It’s just my husband and me. At last.
Today is the first full day of our life together.
Last night was our first night.
The first time we…
The first time I…
“How are you feeling?” My husband strokes my shoulder and presses a kiss to the top of my head.
I’ve never slept naked. And I’ve never slept naked with a man. I did both last night. But it feels so right with Reid. All of it.
Even the part…when we had sex.
There, I said it. We had sex.
And I liked it.
A lot.
Smiling, I answer his question, “Good.”
“Only good?” He rolls onto his back, taking me with him. Now I’m lying on my stomach on top of his big, scrumptious body. And mine is remembering how incredible he made it feel last night. “Only good?” he repeats. He cups my cheeks and kisses me, and all those parts of me that were throbbing and tingling last night start throbbing and tingling all over again.
“Mmmm.” Is all I manage to utter as waves of heat pulse through my center.
I am addicted to this man. To his touches. And his kisses. His naughty, wicked, wonderful kisses.
His tongue does naughty, wicked, wonderful things. Inside my mouth, it caresses and claims. On my neck, it ignites mini blazes. On my earlobe, it produces a coat of goose bumps.
“I need to do something about that,” he murmurs. “You should be feeling spectacular.” He nips my collarbone. “ Are you feeling spectacular yet?” His hand cups my breast, and my spine arches. “How about now?” He rolls my nipple between his finger and thumb, and sensations zig and zag through me.
“Ohhh,” I say on a whimper. I never imagined, not in a million years that sex could be like this, so good. So very, very good.
“So, not yet?” He wraps his (big, strong) arms around me and flips us both over. Now I’m on the bottom and he’s on top of me. He kisses me until my toes curl. Then he slides down, kissing and nipping a tingly trail down my neck, further, between my breasts, down the center of my stomach.
Lower…
Lower…
Scooting completely off me he pushes my legs apart, lifting my knees and opening me wide. “Look at this. All mine.”
Oh, I know what he’s going to do. He’s going to do that thing he did last night. That magical, spectacular thing.
He parts my folds, and my whole body tightens up. Anticipation throbs through me. Wet heat. Pounding. His tongue delves between them, dampening my opening before moving up to the little sensitive part of me that makes me explode. He drags his tongue over that part and I burn hotter, and hotter.
So good. So very good.
“How are you feeling now?” he growls. Before I can answer, he slips a finger inside me and I clamp my eyes shut. Stars glitter. Heat throbs. I am tight all over. On the verge of exploding again.
I want him inside me. Plunging deep. I need him inside me.
“Good,” I murmur, and he gently eases a second finger inside me, stretching me.
“Only good?” With his fingers sliding in and out of my center, he flicks his tongue over my burning pearl and white hot pleasure blazes through me. “Cum for me, Kate,” he demands, and my body obeys instantly. I hear myself scream his name as intense pleasure washes over me like a massive tidal wave. I am swept up in it and carried far, far away. To the moon and the stars and back.
When I open my eyes, I discover I’m lying on top of Reid again. He kisses me, sweetly, murmuring, “I love you,” at the same time. I feel the head of his rod, prodding at my entrance. Wanting nothing more than to be one with him again, I shift back slightly and he pushes inside.
This morning the pain is nothing like it was last night, though I’m a little tender. I feel full inside. It’s a strange sensation. I wonder if I’ll ever get used to it.
“Are you all right, baby?” Reid holds my hips, halting me from moving. “Come here.” He tangles his fingers in my hair and tugs, coaxing me to lean forward. His mouth finds mine. “I'm sorry for hurting you,” he whispers against my lips. “I don't want to.” He gives me sweet little kisses all over my face. “Let me make you feel good.” One of his hands cups my breast. My insides, still stretched around his rod, quiver in response. “Yes, my sweet girl. Sit up.” He gives me one more kiss then shows me how to sit upright with his thick rod buried deep inside me. The pressure inside me changes as my position shifts. His dark gaze meanders up my body. “So beautiful. You're mine now. All mine.” He lifts my hips and strokes my clit with a finger. Fiery pleasure pulses through my body.
I love the sweetly possessive words he's muttering. And the feral need burning in his eyes. They’re sexy. And romantic. And I can hardly believe this amazing man is my husband. That this is my life now. Our life now.
Slowly, he lowers his hips, and he slides almost all the way out of me. Then he drills deep, filling me completely. As he glides in, his thick length grazes my inner walls, the friction firing nerves I didn't know I had, and sending waves of pleasure throbbing through me. I shudder from the intense sensations, tightening around his girth.
With his hands, he guides me, showing me how to move up and down, riding him. I relish the control he has given me, moving slowly at first. As I grow bolder I start moving faster, bouncing and grinding against him, loving how the friction makes my whole body throb.
At last, I understand. This is lovemaking. It’s not what my cousin experienced, no. Lovemaking is not just sex. It’s mind-blowing. It’s life-altering. It’s bodies joining, like sex, but so much more. It’s about inhibitions being stripped away. And emotions expressed in the deepest way possible.
As we make love, I don’t feel scared. I feel desired. I feel cherished.
I feel loved.
“Kate, I love you.” Reid tangles his hands in my hair and tugs my head down. Our mouths meet. Lips caress. Tongues battle. Deep inside, I feel him swell. The added thickness intensifies the heat throbbing through me. He growls into our joined mouths, and the sound vibrates through my whole body. “Mine,” he whispers against my lips. “Mine forever.”
My heart soars. “Yes. Yes. Yes.”
“Cum, baby. I want to feel you milk my cock. I'm going to fill you up.”
His wicked words set off a series of massive, overwhelming explosions. My scream echoes through the room as I feel his cum coating my insides, and my body sucks it in as my walls spasm.
He slams up into me, again and again and again, forcing his cum deeper inside me. It feels so, so good. Indescribably good. All I can do is hold on and let the waves crash over me until they start to diminish to ripples.
Once again, his tongue sweeps into my mouth. He kisses me sweetly now. Sprinkles little butterfly kisses all over my face, like he likes to do. “Mine,” he says after every little kiss. “Mine.”
Yes, I'm his. All of me. His forever.
At last, my body grows heavy and I slump forward, enjoying the feel of his strong, hard body supporting mine. His hand glides up and down my back, comforting me.
“How are you now?” he asks. “Just good?”
“I’m spectacular,” I say, giggling. I'm giddy. Happier than I've ever been in my life.
“Now that’s more like it.” He wraps his arms around me and log rolls so that he’s on top and I’m on the bottom. Angling over me, he brushes a kiss across my lips. “Do you think we just made a baby? I want you swollen with my child. I want to whole fucking world to know you are mine.”
Baby.
My heart swells.
He did mean it when he said he wants to have a family.
A baby. I'm going to have a baby.
With Reid Carter.
My husband.
And it is our love that will make him or her.
This time it's me who curls her fingers into his hair. I pull his head down and devour his mouth.
A baby! What greater gift could anyone give another?
Truly, the fantasy has become reality. For this reluctant television star. I never imagined that was possible.
And it’s all because of Reid. His big heart. His patience. And strength. And courage. He makes me better for it. We make each other better.
I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.
