25. Greer

CHAPTER 25

GREER

The quiet hum of the air conditioning was the only sound in the room as I smiled down at the simple gold band circling my third finger. The first time I'd done this, I had hoped marrying would allow me to move on from him. It hadn't worked, and it was taking me a moment to fathom that he was really mine.

A strong hand squeezed my shoulder as his right arm circled across my chest, pressing his body along mine. I could feel his erection along my lower back, the sensitive bundles of nerves ramping up my need and making me shiver.

"Having second thoughts?"

He trailed his hand down my arm and placed his left hand over mine. Austin laced our fingers together, his left hand over mine, giving me a view of his wedding band. "Never. But did we really just get married, or is this some dream?"

I felt the stubble of his beard against my skin as he smiled at my question. "Only a dream come true. We were always supposed to be together."

Deep, dormant feelings I'd suppressed for so long, feelings I never thought I'd be able to share, came rising to the surface. Tears filled my eyes as I nodded.

Austin let go and turned me in his arms.

"Babe, are you okay?"

I nodded again, then choked back enough emotion to speak. "All the nights I spent worrying about you, wondering if you were okay, and inventing ways to ask Carter about you without looking suspicious are over." I hugged him tightly as I breathed him in. His familiar scent both calmed my soul and touched my heart at the same time. "Letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life, and it's over. It's finally over."

Pressing my body to his was not close enough. I needed more.

"What's over?"

Swallowing back the tears, I whispered, "The agony of losing you. From walking away from the love of my life."

Austin pulled back while I held on to him and took my face in his hands. His thumbs brushed away the moisture from my eyes. "Let it go, sweetheart. Our past has made this moment even sweeter. Just let me love you for the rest of our lives."

I nodded until our lips met. The sweep of his tongue inside mine made me sigh in relief. My husband's touch was the balm to my frazzled nerves. When he kissed or touched me, the world melted away. Nothing existed but the two of us.

Running my hands along his back, I tugged his shirt from the waistband of his shorts. His skin was warm as I memorized the feel of his back with my fingertips.

Austin tugged my shirt free as well, his big hands finding their way into the back of my shorts. My head fell back as he held me bound to him with one arm, while the other slipped into my shorts to palm my ass.

My cock was hard as I shamelessly rubbed myself against him. Austin Wentworth was my husband, my ride-or-die, the love of my life, the one who saved me from a life filled with loneliness. The one who made me whole and happier than I'd ever been.

I pushed back enough to unbutton and unzip his shorts. His groan into my mouth as I took his cock into my hand added fuel to my fire.

Pulling out of his arms, I stepped back and stripped off my clothes. Austin watched with a love-drunk expression I recognized as the one I wore for him. When I was naked, I reached over to undress him, then placed my palm on his chest. I walked him backward toward the bed until his thighs stopped against the mattress.

"What are you doing, Mr. Wentworth?" he asked as I reached out to stroke his cock.

"I'm going to taste my husband, Mr. Rowan," I replied, watching his face light up.

"I'm all yours," he said as he sat on the bed, then positioned himself back until he was laid out across the big mattress. I crawled on the bed, between his spread legs, and kissed and licked my way up each thigh. The valley where his leg met his hip was my first favorite place to kiss him before taking his weighted balls in my hand to roll them between my fingers.

Austin's squirming, along with his whimpers and moans, helped me learn what he liked as opposed to what drove him crazy. His hard dick jerked along his tight abdominal muscles as his pre-cum dripped like a nectar I needed to taste.

"I'm going to take you as far as I can," I said, taking his cock in my hand. "I want you inside me, but I just need to do this first."

"Whatever you need, but I'm not gonna be able to last long if you keep teasing me like this."

I smiled as I positioned myself on all fours. "Can you put your legs together for me?" Austin obeyed and pressed his legs together as I held his balls up to place them gently on the top of his thighs.

Austin's eyes widened as my spread position came into view.

Repositioning myself, my cock throbbed and dripped onto his legs as I licked him from root to tip. The velvety smooth skin was both salty and sweet, and I couldn't get enough. When I took him into my mouth for the first time, my husband lovingly threaded his hands through my hair, and gently tugged when my sucking on the glans brought him too close to the edge.

"Greer," he warned in his deep, gravelly tone, making me smile. I knew better than to try to swallow him whole this first time, but that would come.

I released the suction and looked up at him, allowing the saliva from my mouth to keep us connected. "You okay, baby?"

He ran his thumb over my wet mouth as I licked my lips. "Never been better, but you're gonna make me blow if you keep doing that."

Pride filled my heart at making my man feel so good, and for now, that was enough exploration for me. I moved up his body, dragging my leaking cock over his balls and dick, then up his Greek god physique before lowering my mouth to his. Austin groaned into the kiss as he took my cock in his hand.

I devoured him as he pressed slick fingers along my hole. With his legs together and my knees on the bed next to his hips, I was open and ready for whatever he had to give me.

"I'm going to need you to talk to me, sweetheart. If something is uncomfortable, and you want to stop, just say the word."

"Yeah, okay. But I'm going to need you to touch me before I lose my mind."

"Relax, sweetheart. I've got you," he said, kissing the side of my face while squeezing my ass cheek. "We're not in any hurry."

His caresses and kisses lulled me back into my lovesick haze until one of his hands left my body. I missed it immediately until the drip of lube hit my skin and tickled as it slid down between my cheeks. I had no idea where that had come from, but it was Austin.

Looking into his eyes, I expected to find the man who loved to tease the fuck out of me, but that's not what I found. I saw the man I loved staring back at me. His expression was warm and loving, and I had to kiss him. And I did until I pulled away to gasp, my eyes still closed so as not to be distracted when the pad of his finger pressed inside me.

"Breathe, babe. Focus on my touch and try to relax. If it gets to be too much, just tell me." Austin's lips found my neck as I tried to do what he said. He distracted me with kisses and gentle sucks on my skin as he breached me.

"Push out, then let me in," he whispered as I dropped to my forearms and rested my head on his shoulder.

I lost track of time as he worked his finger in and out of me until he added another, then miraculously a third. Need built in me every time he hit my prostate, and when I couldn't take the foreplay any longer, I gave him an irritated ultimatum. "I need you inside me, or this is gonna be over."

Austin withdrew his fingers from me and reached for a towel on the table. Wiping his hands, he wrapped his arms around my chest and rolled me onto my back.

"Holy fuck, that's hot," I laughed as he hovered above me.

"I wanna see your handsome face when I slip inside you the first time. Savor every moan and sigh until we both fall apart together."

My husband leaned down and kissed me, pressing his body weight to mine. He was hard, just like my familiar boat oar, and I knew he had to be as desperate as I was for a release. But this wasn't about getting off. This was about showing the man I loved that he was my world and being as close as two people could get.

Austin lubed himself up and applied more to me before he was ready. He watched my face for any signs of pain as he slowly pushed inside me. The burn was real, but soon ebbed as I breathed through it. My fingers found the sculpted obliques of his torso before curling around to his back.

"God damn, sweetheart," he moaned as he ever so slowly seated himself fully inside me. The sensation of fullness was indescribable.

When the pain had subsided, I leaned up to kiss him. "Move baby. Let me feel all of you as deep inside my body as you are in my heart."

Austin gave me a heartbreaking smile. "I love you," he said as he began to move. And as he took me apart, gently grazing my prostate over and over, I fell a little more in love with my husband. His body tensed, but never took his eyes off me as he emptied himself into me. My orgasm soon followed as I pushed myself over.

Our mouths met as we came down from the most euphoric high I'd ever experienced. My husband kissed me until he slipped from my body, and we needed to clean up.

Rolling us to our sides, Austin ran his fingers through my hair. "Are you okay?"

I smiled at him, sated and relaxed. "Best day of my life."

He grinned and leaned in to kiss my nose. "We need to shower, then eat. I'm starving."

"Me too, but another soak in the hot springs might be just the thing before round two."

"Deal." Austin rolled off our bed, then held his hand out to me. I took it and followed him to the shower.
