VALOROUS (A Quantum Novel)(14)

“Yes,” I say through gritted teeth.

Her smile stretches across her face, making her eyes dance with joy. I’m swamped with love for her.

“You’re quite pleased with yourself, aren’t you, sweetheart?” I ask with a grunt of laughter. She’s so f*cking adorable.

“You have to admit that making a guy like you tremble does come with a certain amount of thrill.”

“A guy like me… What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Strong,” she says, kissing between my pecs. “Sexy.” More kisses, some tongue action and f*cking hell… teeth. “Commanding.” She nuzzles my happy trail, and my dick surges, wanting in on this right now. I don’t know what I need more—for her to touch me where I’m dying for her or to hear more words that describe me from her point of view.

Touch. I definitely want her to touch me right f*cking now. “Natalie… Have some mercy, will you?”

She hooks her fingers into the waistband of my briefs and draws them down slowly, so f*cking slowly she nearly finishes me with only the drag of elastic over my rigid erection. I’ve never been so f*cking hard in my life.

I grab the hem of her T-shirt and pull it up. “Can we take this off?”

She hesitates, but only for a second before the shirt clears her head and hits the floor. Her full, gorgeous breasts fall into my waiting hands.

She twists out of my reach. “No! You’re not taking over my show.”


“What?” For a fraction of an instant, I forget who I am with her, and I nearly remind her who’s in charge here. Thankfully, I catch myself before I can make that critical error, but the near miss humbles me.

“Relax and let me love you.”

I blow out a deep breath and summon the will to control myself without controlling her, too. I don’t surrender to anyone. But Natalie isn’t just anyone. She’s become my whole life, and if she wants to control me, albeit briefly, I’ll allow it. Somehow.

She rolls her bottom lip between her teeth as she wraps her hand around the base of my cock and begins to stroke me. She watches with fascination as a bead of moisture appears at the tip. Then, in the single most erotic sight I’ve ever witnessed, she bends her head and licks me clean.

“Nat,” I say on a gasp. “Wait a sec.”

She looks up at me.

“The last time we did this… Don’t do it if you don’t want to.” I can’t forget the flashback that hit her without warning the first time she tried to take me into her mouth.

“I’m okay.” Her lips encircle the tip, and her tongue slashes me.

It’s all I can do to refrain from pulling her head down onto my dick. That’s what I’d do with any other woman, but Natalie isn’t any other woman. She’s the woman. So instead of grabbing her, I fist handfuls of the comforter and hold on for dear life as she sets out to drive me mad with her experimentation.

“Does it feel good?” she asks.

“Yeah. It feels f*cking amazing.”

Hearing that pleases her, and she goes back for more, taking me in farther this time. I want to tell her what to do. I want to tell her to suck me, squeeze my balls and stroke me hard. I have to bite my tongue to keep from barking out orders when it’s far more important that she become used to me in her mouth than it is that she do this exactly the way I want it done.

Besides, it apparently doesn’t matter what she does, because she’s got me on the verge of losing it in no time at all.

“Babe.” The sight of her lush lips stretched to accommodate my dick takes me right to the brink. “Natalie.”

Not seeming to understand my urgency, she withdraws slowly, torturously.

I take hold of my cock and jerk my hips to avoid coming in her face. “Fuck.” The orgasm blasts through me with powerful intensity. I’m left panting and trembling while Natalie looks on with a look of satisfaction that might even surpass mine. “Jesus.”

“It was good?” she asks.

“Yeah.” I grunt out a laugh between deep breaths. “But good might not be a significant enough word to describe what that was.”

“Really?”

I want to hold her and touch her and kiss her everywhere. “Hand me my shirt, will you?” I use the shirt to mop up the mess I made on my stomach and chest and then toss it aside. “Come here.” Holding my arms out to her, I gather her close to me. The press of her breasts against my chest is all it takes to start my motor running all over again.

Fluff lets out a snore that makes us laugh.

“I can’t believe she didn’t try to bite my dick off when you were giving it attention.”

“I’d never let her bite you there.”

“Thank God for small favors.”

“There’s nothing small about it.”

“If I wasn’t already madly in love with you, I would be now.”

“Flynn?”

“Hmm?”

“Will you make love to me? The way you did the other night?”

“You’re not sore anymore?”

“I’m not sore,” she says as she drags a fingertip across my abdomen, “but I am achy.”

I feel like I’ve been electrocuted. The way she looks at me, the way she touches me… This can’t possibly be real. I reach over to caress her face before I draw her into a kiss. “What’s happened to my shy, reserved Natalie?”
