Inheriting a SECRET (Corrigan & Co. #7)(17)

“I always love it when you give me a goal.”

“Maybe tonight you’ll meet said goal, and get a reward.”

“One can only hope.”

“Actually, two of us are hoping,” I tell him honestly.

We stay up even later than usual as he tries to do it. I don’t know how anyone can possibly be so hopeless. I would laugh if he wasn’t trying so hard. After he once again shoots his team member, I yawn and snuggle closer into him where we’re lying on the couch.

“Do you want me to go?”

“No. I want to cuddle with you tonight.”

“Really?”

“Mm-hmm. Cuddling sounds nice. If you want to, I mean.”

“I’m down with the cuddling.”

The next thing I know, I’m waking up to Brayden saying my name softly. I was having a great dream where I’d pulled his shirt up to kiss and lick his yummy abs. And my hand was down his pants stroking him. As he says my name again, I realize that it wasn’t just a dream. My mouth is on his stomach and my hand is down his pants. I look up at him with a sheepish smile.

“I was dreaming,” I tell him as I stop stroking, but keep my hand where it is.

“I figured that out. I honestly thought about not waking you up, but I didn’t want to take advantage of you.”

“I think I was the one taking advantage.”

“Nah. I was enjoying it. A. Lot.”

“So I can continue?”

“Only if I can participate.”

I slide back up his body and whisper against his lips. “Please touch me, Brayden.”





Chapter 7


Darcy

After that, it’s all about shifting clothes and exploring hands. Our mouths battle each other for dominance, and it’s hotter than almost anything I’ve ever experienced. Stroking him while he pinches my nipples and then caresses my breasts, feels like heaven. I know he’s enjoying it too, because he’s growing harder by the second.

I arch my neck as his hands move lower. He nuzzles my neck, alternately kissing and nibbling until he reaches the waistband of my pajama bottoms. “Lift up, Cat.”

I do as he asks, and he hooks his thumbs on each side, pulling my thong down right along with the pants. I have to let go of him temporarily, but I miss the heavy feel of him in my hand as I do. Until I think about him inside of me, and then I get even more wet and ready.

“Help me take off your pants. I want you inside of me.”

“Fuck. I don’t think I have a condom.”

“Under the couch cushions,” I tell him. “And yes, we’re going to do just that. Fuck.”

“You put condoms in the couch?”

“I knew it was only a matter of time. Are you going to make a big deal of it, or are you going to let me ride you until we both pass out?” I ask as I take my top and bra off.

“Oh, definitely the riding.”

He pulls up the cushions and grabs a handful of condoms, tossing them down as he takes off his own shirt. Once we’re both naked, we stop to look at each other. We’ve touched each other, but we’ve never taken everything off for each other before. Brayden’s beautiful. There’s no other word for him. He’s not as built as Nate or Matt, and not as lean as Aiden. He’s the perfection that’s in between them all. And I want to have my mouth on every inch of him.

“I think I’m the luckiest man in the world. You’re gorgeous, Cat.”

“Thank you.”

I can’t believe I’m feeling shy right now. I’ve never been shy a day in my life. But I am with him. Not in the sense that I want to hide my body, but with the way that I like hearing the approval in his voice. Maybe a little too much.

“If we do this, it will make it a little more real, Crown.”

“It’s been real since we met, and we both know it.”

He holds out his hand to me, and I take it. After kissing me sweetly for a few minutes, he takes things deeper, pulling me down on top of him as I open my mouth to his probing tongue. We sit with me just rubbing myself over him as I straddle his legs, until it becomes too much for both of us.

“Do you want me to lie down?”

“No. This is good,” I tell him as I lift myself up and reach for one of the condoms.

After I’ve put it on, I slowly move down onto him. I fight the urge to just take him all at once, savoring the pleasure that I feel as he stretches me. He has my nipple between his teeth and bites down as I fully seat myself. I flinch at the slight pain.

“Sorry. You just feel so good.”

“So do you.”

I start to move slow, and then fast, finding a rhythm that has us both moaning. He’s still playing with my tits as I pull on his hair. Until he suddenly grabs hold of my hip with one hand, thrusting up as he grinds me down onto him. His other hand moves between my folds, finding my swollen clit, and twisting it between his fingers.

“How close?” he asks, barely moving his mouth from me.

“Very,” I manage to breathe out as a wave of pleasure crashes over me.

I ride it over the edge, yelling out his name as I arch my back and grind down on both his fingers and his cock. I’m still shaking when he starts shuddering and cursing. My name comes out of his mouth on a sigh as we both stop moving. That was…I don’t even know…amazing? Mind blowing? Best ever? All of the above? Yeah, that’s it.
