VICTORIOUS (A Quantum Novel)(47)

“I’m afraid to agree with anything you say out of fear of encouraging you.”

“There’s no real fear, though, right?”

He’s so sweet in his concern for me. “No real fear. Everything we’ve done has been… well… indescribable.”

“Try.”

“Try what?”

“To describe it.”

“Like in actual words?”

“That’d be good.”

“You like making me say things that I’d never ordinarily say, don’t you?”

“Uh-huh.” His hand inches up my thigh until my hand on top of it stops its progress. “I want to talk about it, all of it. The talking helps to build the trust between us. It makes it more intimate.”

“I’ll give you the words only if you let me reimburse you for the loans you paid off.”

“You drive a hard bargain, my love, but you’ve got a deal. These had better be some really good words.”

I lean in as close as I can get to him and let my lips brush against his ear. I love when he jolts and his arms tighten around me. “What we just did… I loved everything about it. I loved the anticipation, the not knowing what would happen, but also the knowing that you would touch me there.”

“Where?” he asks gruffly. “Where did I touch you?”

“My ass.” I draw out the S sound until he groans. “I couldn’t believe you licked me there. It was so dirty but so hot, so incredibly hot. When you used your fingers…” I shimmy on his lap, making sure to press against him in all the right places. “I never would’ve expected to like that as much as I do. And the plug…” I exhale, making sure my breath floats over his ear. “That was… is… crazy. It was so tight when you…”

“Fucked you. Say it.”

“When you f*cked me. There was hardly enough room—”

“Stop.”

I pull back so I can see his face, which is tight and tense. “What’s wrong?”

“If you say another word, I’m going to f*ck you again right here in this chair, which will certainly shock the flight attendant.”

“So they were good words?” I ask innocently, thrilled to know I’ve completely undone him.

“They were f*cking awesome words.”

I return my lips to his ear. “After we eat, maybe I’ll let you f*ck me right here in this chair.”

“Stop!”





Chapter 10





Just when I think she can’t possibly get any more perfect, she takes me apart, piece by piece, with a description of our lovemaking that sets me on fire. Hearing those words from her sweet mouth is one of the most incredibly arousing things I’ve ever experienced—second only to the sight of her gorgeous ass on full display for me earlier. That’s something I’ll never forget.

Watching her blossom into the amazing, sexy woman she was always meant to be has been one of the most satisfying experiences in my life. That she’s been able to overcome her painful past and put her trust and well-being in my hands is something I’ll never take for granted.

That’s especially true after spending a very long day and night thinking I might’ve lost her forever.

The meal of broiled scallops, rice and vegetables is delicious, but I barely taste a bite as I satisfy one kind of hunger only so I’ll have the strength to satisfy the other kind.

Natalie shares her scallops with Fluff, who stares at her adoringly, waiting for whatever scraps she chooses to share. She’s serene and relaxed while I’m as tightly wound as I’ve ever been after listening to her description of our sex. I want to tell her to hurry up, to eat already and be done so we can get on with it, but I don’t do that because I’m almost afraid to show her what she’s started.

Eventually, the attendant comes to collect our plates and refills our wineglasses. “Can I get you anything else?”

“No, we’re all set. You can take the rest of the flight off.”

“Oh. Okay, just hit the call button if you need anything.”

“We won’t.” Hopefully she gets the message to stay out. I won’t be responsible for anything she sees if she doesn’t take the hint.

She takes the dishes with her and closes the door.

“That was kinda rude,” my lovely wife says.
