VICTORIOUS (A Quantum Novel)(16)

I come out of the fog of desire I’ve slipped into to realize I’ve been f*cking her harder than I ever have before, but she’s right there with me, taking everything I give her. Looking down at her gorgeous face, I see only love and passion, but no sign of fear. “Do you trust me?”

“With my life.”

“Do you love me?”

“I’ll love you forever.”

Knowing that gives me the courage I need so badly right now. I have given her my truth, and she still loves me. It is the most priceless of all the priceless gifts she’s given me. “I want your hands.”

Without taking her gaze off mine, she lifts her arms, offering her hands to me.

“Bring them together.”

She flattens her palms against each other.

Watching her face intently, I wrap my hand around both her wrists and bring them up over her head, pinning them to the cushion. We’re both well aware this is a major test. If we can do this, maybe, just maybe, there could be more for us.

I give her plenty of time to voice her objection, but my strong, brave Natalie never blinks. Instead, she raises her hips, asking me to move. I pick up the pace, stroking into her while watching her carefully for any sign of trouble. When I see none, I risk looking away to suck on one of the cherry-red nipples that stands at full attention.

Then I do something I haven’t done before. I close my teeth over the nipple, tight enough to cause a sharp bite of pain.

She gasps, and her * clamps down on me, nearly triggering my orgasm. But I’ve learned how to delay my gratification, sometimes for hours, so I’m able to power through it. “Talk to me, Nat. Tell me how you feel. If you talk to me, I can keep doing this.” I drag my tongue over the nipple that is now darker red than it was before. “Rather than watching you to make sure you’re okay.”

“I’m okay. Do that again… What you did before…”

I switch to the other side and begin with soft strokes of my tongue, adding a bit of suction after a minute or two. “This?”

“More.”

“Tell me. I want your words.”

“Bite it. Like you did before. Please…”

“You kill me when you’re polite, Nat.”

“I’m going to kill you if you don’t do it.”

I clamp down on her nipple, harder this time than the last.

She screams as she comes.

I drive into her one more time, taking my own pleasure in the midst of hers. Releasing her hands, I cup her breasts, running my tongue gently over the tips, soothing and caressing as she goes soft under me, her body yielding to me.

“Flynn…”

“Hmm?” I’m very busy enjoying her gorgeous breasts.

“I want to do what you dreamed about.”

Her words stop me short. I raise my head to meet her gaze. “How much of it?”

“All of it. I want everything that you want. More than anything, I want to be everything you’ve ever dreamed of having in a wife and lover.”

I’m stunned and humbled to have somehow won the love of this amazing woman. “Christ, Nat, you already are.”

“Not quite yet, but I will be. Will you teach me how to be everything you want and need?”

I’m so overwhelmed by gratitude, I can barely speak. “Yes, sweetheart, I’ll teach you.”





Chapter 4





“So what happens now?” I ask much later as we consume our favorite dinner from the nearby Italian takeout place—chicken piccata and Caesar salad. Flynn opens a bottle of chardonnay and pours a glass for each of us. We slept for hours after our life-altering conversation earlier, and woke starving—for food and each other.

It’s dark now, and the wind is howling outside. The delivery guy told Flynn there’s more than eight inches of snow already on the ground and more coming overnight.

“Now,” Flynn says after taking a drink from his glass of wine, “we hammer out a contract.”

“Like a real contract?”

“Yep. Hold that thought.” He gets up and crosses the room to his office.

I watch him go, enjoying the view of him wearing only formfitting boxer briefs and nothing else. He’s magnificent and all mine. Though I’m still reeling from everything that happened earlier, I’m no longer agonizing over what will become of us. We’re in this together, and that’s all that matters.
