20. Cole

Chapter 20

Cole

Islammed my lips to hers and let my palms drift down to finally grab hold of that gorgeous heart-shaped ass of hers I’d been dying to get my hands on. “You feel so good,” I whispered against her lips. “Is this okay? Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Her voice was a breathy moan. “I want this. I want you so much. Come to bed with me. Victor was judging us out there, I could tell.”

I pulled away to take her hand, smiling as she tugged me toward her bed.

Seizing her face between my palms, I kissed her again.

Her hands drifted down my sides to follow my belt line around to the buckle, where she gave a little tug before undoing it.

My abs clenched, and hot desire shot to the base of my spine, making me hard. I was already burning for her, but the touch of her hands so close to my cock nearly drove me insane.

Not wanting this to be over so fast, I took her wrists in my hands, moving them behind her back as I kissed her again. Her touch drove me to the brink, and I wanted to focus on her.

“Fuck. I knew it would be like this with you,” I groaned against her lips.

“Like what? Tell me.”

“It’s almost too much, having your hands on me. Don’t talk. Shh.” Slamming my eyes shut, I inhaled a deep breath. “I need a minute, or this will only last a minute.”

I lowered my head, encouraging her to lean back over my arms so I could slide my mouth lower, trailing kisses over her neck and along her collarbone, then back up the delicate column of her gorgeous neck.

Her soft giggle was like music. “That tickles, but please don’t stop.”

“God. Damn. You have no idea how much I want to get inside of you right now, do you?”

Freeing a hand, she palmed my erection. “Is this a hint?” she teased with a giggling grin.

Struck by a sudden jolt of vulnerability, I took a step back. “Don’t play with me. Please, Madi…”

Her expression softened. “I’m not playing.” She stepped forward and slid her leggings down before kicking them off to leave her in only a lacy red pair of panties. “I want you as much as you want me, I promise. Touch me and find out for yourself.”

“Are you sure about this?”

Reaching out, she took my hand to guide it between her legs. She was hot and already wet for me. I could feel it through her panties.

She brushed her lips against mine, whispering, “How does this feel?”

“It feels like you need me.” Our eyes met, and something unspoken passed between us, putting me at ease again. “I’ve thought of this. A lot.”

“Take these off.” She tugged at my belt buckle. “Come to bed with me.”

We quickly removed the rest of our clothes and slid under her covers.

She was beautiful, with dark waves of hair trailing over her shoulder and gorgeous brown eyes watching me.

“Listen, Sherry cheated, as you’ve probably heard around town. I’ve been tested. I’m safe⁠—”

“I’m safe too. I got tested after I broke up with Ross. At the time, I wondered what compelled me to do it, but now I’m glad I did. I have condoms in the bedside drawer, too.”

“Good. We’re set. Come here. Enough about them. It’s all us now…” I leaned into her, banding an arm around her waist to pull her into my chest, tipping her face back so I could kiss her lips. “I love how you feel against me. So fucking soft. So perfect.”

I had to take this slow, or it would be over before it began. I drew her leg over my hip and slipped a finger inside her. I needed to know how she felt before I knew her for real, just a little hint of what would come before I lost my mind entirely.

She was slick, wet perfection. She was everything I’d ever dreamed of.

I swirled my thumb over her clit, grinning when her eyes lit up in pleasure.

“Cole, please…” Her hands tugged insistently at my hair as she panted against my neck, kissing and nipping at my collarbone, my jaw, my earlobe. “I need you now.”

“I’ve wanted this for so fucking long, but I never let my imagination get this far. You have me so worked up that I don’t trust myself not to explode the second I get inside of you. I have to make sure you come first. Get on your back, beautiful Madi. Let me get a taste of you.”

“Oh god, yes. I want that.” She flipped to her back, kicking the covers down, smiling as I rose to my knees at her side. “Look at you, Cole. You’re the gorgeous one.” She took my cock in her hand and squeezed it as her eyes roved appreciatively over my body.

The weight of her gaze landed on me like a touch, and I shivered. I’d never been this hard or wanted a woman this much. It was almost too much. Pulses of pleasure shot through me; my cock jerked in her hand as she stroked her thumb over the tip, and I had to look away.

It had grown foggy outside; the haze against her huge window was otherworldly. It was all just streaks and bursts of early evening light from outside reflecting off the glass.

Reality ceased to exist as I willed my heart to stop racing. I forced myself to lose focus in the darkness of her room and let my thoughts spin out of my head until she became my reality, and my focus turned solely back on her.

“You’re like heaven, Madi. I swear you’re better than a dream,” I whispered as I straddled her body and bent to take the stiff pink peak of one of her nipples into my mouth.

Her breasts were full and round, far more than a handful, and more beautiful than I had pictured when I would lie alone in my bed with only the hope of having her beneath me like this to fuel my fantasies.

She was soft in all the best ways, and I knew I would never get enough of her. I slid my cock down the slippery wet perfection of her pussy, rubbing it up and down as I sucked on her nipple hard like I knew she would like.

I let out a groan as she shoved her hands into my hair to pull me closer. “That feels so good.” Her breath ruffled my hair as I kissed and licked my way to her other breast, my mouth too full of her to answer her.

I moved lower, between her candy-coated breasts, dotting kisses and soft nipping bites over the cute, slightly rounded curve of her belly and down to press a kiss right above her clit. “Open for me, Madi. Let me in.”

She spread her legs, lifting her knees high one by one as I moved to my stomach to lie between them. Rosy and wet, her glistening skin was like silk beneath my tongue as I licked a path from her opening to her clit, swirling around it in a circle before sucking it gently into my mouth with pulsing little pulls. I could spend a lifetime here, between her trembling thighs, feeling her hips undulate beneath my hands, with her body writhing against my face and the salty, sweet taste of her in my mouth.

I wrapped an arm around her hip from beneath and rubbed her clit as I entered her with my tongue.

“God, Cole,” she panted as the soft squeeze of her thighs against my ears muffled her words, and her driving hips shoved my face away from where I was determined to stay.

“You’re close, aren’t you?” My lips quirked in a sideways smile as my eyes drifted up the lush curves of her body to meet hers.

I pressed a hand against her lower stomach and bit her inner thigh. “Be still like a good girl, and I’ll make you come.” She was up on her elbows, watching me, so I smiled at her, chuckling as her head dropped between her shoulder blades and her back arched before she collapsed against the pillows.

Her gorgeous thighs shook as she spread them wide and attempted to hold still for me. “Oh god, I can’t be still. Please, oh please…” She was desperate, eyes pleading, mouth opened on a silent moan as I slowly inserted two fingers inside, seeking that spot that would drive her over the edge.

I could feel her need to come. Her pussy was like a fluttering, pulsating vice around my fingers; she was so tight. Ever so lightly, I bit her clit, then licked it with the flat of my tongue. I wanted her to need me. I wanted her to beg, to make demands, to plead for me to make her come so I could give it to her, give her everything I had.

Her lips parted, and then she smiled as she came against my mouth and reached for me. “Your turn,” she murmured. “Get up here. Condoms are in the side table drawer.”

Rising to my knees, I slipped on a condom, then pressed the head of my cock to her opening. Finally, god, fucking finally.

I gripped her hips like they were made for me to hold on to, digging my fingers into the soft curves of her flesh as I thrust inside of her with one hard stroke.

Every muscle in my body grew taut as I fought against coming. “You’re a fucking goddess, you are. Look at you. Look at us. Fuck, Madi. Fuck,” I repeated as I drove into her.

Her breath hitched as she took hold of my forearms that I’d planted at her sides, nails digging in as she moaned and looked down her body to where we were joined.

“Nothing has ever felt as right as this,” she said on a gasp. And she was right. We were perfect together.

Every drive inside made her gorgeous breasts bounce; she was more than beautiful; she was ethereal, an angel, a fucking temptress beneath me; just the sight of her alone almost undid me.

I shut my eyes, throwing my head back as I fucked into her. Her legs wrapped around my hips, holding me tight as I slammed inside of her slick, wet heat. Over and over and over, grunting in crazed pleasure each time I bottomed out, grinding myself against her clit before pulling out to do it again.

“Madi,” I growled. “Get there again. Come with me.”

Opening my eyes, I saw her—head arched back, eyes shut tight, arms over her head, holding on to the slats of her headboard with her teeth sunk into the flesh of her inner arm.

Jesus Christ, I’d never seen a sight as beautiful as she was right now, spread wide for me with my cock moving in and out of her.

“Don’t stop,” she mewled. Her eyes opened and locked on mine. “I’ve never—I’ve never come like this. Please, Cole. Please don’t stop.” Her voice was a breathy moan, and it went straight to my dick.

All the words in the world wouldn’t be enough to describe how good it felt to be buried inside of her like this. I was finally where I’d wanted to be ever since I met her.

“I fucking knew it would feel like this to be with you. Fucking knew it.”

“You feel incredible,” she confirmed as she bit her lip and came in rippling waves around my cock, sending me spiraling inside of her in an orgasm so intense I collapsed forward, mindlessly giving her my weight for a moment before turning to the side and gathering her close to hold her against my heaving chest.

My heart hurt. It beat out of control both from my orgasm and the thoughts that kept coming unbidden into my mind.

Was this too soon? Was I ready to feel like this?

There were no assurances that I wouldn’t get hurt again.

Was throwing my heart into the ring like this so soon after the divorce a good idea?

“Come here.” I pulled her closer, placing a kiss on the top of her head. I shoved the doubts out of my mind. I shouldn’t be thinking this way right now. Not when she felt this good in my arms. Not when it felt this right to be with her.

She tilted her head back to look at me. “I know you can’t stay the night with me. But I wish that you could.”

“Me too.” I kissed her upturned lips. “But you’re right. I have to get home to the kids.”

I wondered how this would work with her when I knew she wouldn’t be staying in Cozy Creek.

I couldn’t exactly pack up and move to be with her. I had two kids going to school here. Was I supposed to uproot them for a woman, even one as amazing as Madi?

I had my job, the one I’d dreamed of since I was a little kid. I couldn’t be the Cozy Creek Fire Brigade chief somewhere else.

My entire family and my house were here. My mother would freak out if I told her I wanted to move. Dad would tell me that my home was here, that Sutters had been living in Cozy Creek since before it was even called Cozy Creek.

Everything I loved was right here in this town, except Madi. Who, as soon as Gigi’s boot came off, would be gone back to her regular life—without me.

What the fuck had I just done?
