Echoes at Dawn (KGI #5)(48)



Or of palming it as he took her from behind.

Hell, he’d even imagined taking her anally, which caused him to call himself all sorts of foul names. She was so damn sweet and gentle and beautiful and he was playing out scenes in his head from some skanky  p**n  movie.

He positioned himself between her legs and lowered his body down so he could finally have his mouth on her taut ni**les. His c**k brushed over her pu**y and lay sandwiched between their bodies, the tip touching the soft skin of her belly.

He angled himself so he could reach her br**sts without having to move. He loved the feel of her surrounding his cock. She twisted restlessly beneath him, and he knew she was growing impatient. That made two of them.

He licked over one hard point, licked again and then sucked gently. Her fingers dove into his hair, surprising him with the ferocity of her grip. Her fingers were clenched tight around the long strands, her hand balled into a fist at his scalp.

Hell, she’d probably pull him bald, and he didn’t really give a damn. She could pull it all out as long as she was screaming his name while she did it.

“I like that,” she breathed.

He smiled against her breast then lifted his head to meet her gaze. “I like it too. You have beautiful br**sts, Grace. The entire package is beautiful inside and out.”

Moisture gleamed in her eyes and he leaned up to kiss her full on the mouth. “I didn’t say it to make you cry. It’s the God-given truth.”

She caressed his cheek, rubbing soft fingers over the roughness of his jaw. “Thank you for that. For giving me back some of what I’ve lost.”

“If I have my way, you’ll get it all back.”

He kissed her lips once more and then angled himself toward her other breast. He cupped ier hi her t in his palm, plumping it upward so the nipple protruded even farther. He grazed his teeth over it ever so carefully, giving it a gentle nip before sucking it fully into his mouth.

She gripped his hair again, directing his movements. He quickly discovered she liked the light touches followed by hard sucking motions.

He rubbed his c**k up and down the seam of her pu**y and then onto her belly, mimicking movements their bodies would be doing soon. Each time he suckled at her breast, she grew wetter and slicker around his dick. He’d definitely found her sweet spot. She responded more avidly to having her br**sts touched and kissed than she had when his tongue was inside her pu**y, though she hadn’t exactly not liked that.

“You’re driving me crazy,” she said as she pulled him back down to her breast.

He chuckled, wincing as she gripped his hair tighter. She may be timid and shy about the whole lovemaking experience, but when it came to what she liked, she wasn’t hesitant whatsoever.

He kept his mouth on her br**sts, but he slipped one hand down between them. He slid his fingers through her wetness to her opening, testing her readiness.

She was hot and wet, and as soon as he breached her entrance with just the tip of his finger, she arched up and moaned.

Oh hell yeah, she was ready.

He kissed her one more time for good measure and then pulled her down the bed so that her behind was perched just on the edge and was at just the right height and angle for him to take her.

“Hook your legs around me,” he directed. He didn’t want her uncomfortable, and being so close to the edge of the bed, if he didn’t support her legs, it was going to be a hell of an uncomfortable ride for her.

She readily looped her legs around his waist and he slipped his hands underneath her behind, loving the feel of those lush cheeks in his palms.

He withdrew one hand, slid a finger inside to better prepare her and then he grasped his c**k and fit it to her opening.

He pushed forward the barest of inches and her heat immediately enveloped him. Her swollen tissues hugged him tightly, making it difficult for him to gain entrance.

It was the single f**king most incredible sensation he’d ever experienced.

But she looked uncertain, and she was tense, her eyes wide.

He withdrew, though he’d barely gotten the head inside her opening. He reached down and stroked over her flesh, teasing, wanting to make her relax. She was slick against his fingers and she began to arch upward, responding to the gentle caress.

Once more, he found her opening and pressed forward, and she immediately went tense again. Her brow furrowed and creased in consternation and it was then realization struck him. He pulled away from her instantly, making no attempt to hide the shock he was feeling.

“Grace?”

She stared up at him, her blue eyes glossy with a sheen of tears. He felt sick. He’d hurt her. He’d hurt her and it was the very last thing he’d ever intended to do.

She was a virgin and he hadn’t known. He’d almost taken things too far, had almost pushed inside her with one thrust because he’d been so eager to be balls deep in her sweet heat. He would have torn her in his haste.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked hoarsely. “This is definitely a conversation we should have had before now.”

She flushed and started to look away as shame crowded into her eyes. But he leaned over her, his body pressed to hers as he framed her face, forcing her to look at him.

“D1emme on’t misunderstand me,” he said fiercely. “This isn’t about disgust or the fact that I don’t want you. It’s about me making this the best possible experience for you. You’ve had nothing but pain and abuse heaped upon you. This isn’t just your first time, Grace. It’s my first time too. It’s my first time with you, and I don’t want us both to remember this experience as anything but something beautiful.”
