Chapter 29 Beauty

Magnum

"I'd gladly take it, Magnum," she whispered. "I'd treasure it."

I'd been a saint. I'd waited with the patience of a thousand suns and very dutifully protected the virtue of a woman who was my brother's girl once but was clearly mine now.

She was lying beneath me, being soft and sweet, touching my face, looking at me like she meant it, and I couldn't remember any of the reasons that I hadn't claimed Wren as mine yet.

So I kissed her. Why the hell not? She wanted it. Lord knew I wanted it. She'd basically begged me to do it, and I'd denied her like a fool. She'd told me to allow myself some beauty, and she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. I'd surrendered my heart to her already. This last step was long overdue.

I devoured her greedy kisses while slowly slipping her short little barmaid's dress over her wiggling hips. We separated only briefly, so I could pull it over her head and toss it to the floor. Her long hair fell back on the pillow, and I reconnected our lips as I settled between her legs.

She scratched her fingernails down my back, and I groaned in her ear, gripping her hair to tilt her head back so I could trail kisses and nibbles down her neck. Her bra came off next unveiling the dusky red tips of her full breasts. Taking one in my mouth, she arched up as I teased it to a pebbled peak. We writhed in the bed, feeling our bodies rub against each other, hot skin on hot skin.

And suddenly, it was all too slow. My hands tensed, restless and impatient. One tug and her panties ripped away, revealing the ultra-feminine patch of hair between her legs. As much as I needed to thrust into her, the yearning to taste her flooded my brain and pulled me down her body, kissing her soft flesh on the way.

"You feel good, smell good, wanted you so bad, can't believe I waited this long." I moved her thigh out to the side, baring her glistening core to me, but I didn't have the patience for more than a quick glance before diving into her sweet pussy.

She gasped and her hips rolled as I lapped at her and pushed two fingers inside her hot, wet cunt. She tasted sweet like heaven and unique like Wren. I was selfish with my tongue and focused on her clit. My fingers curled to hit her G-spot. I made sure to bring her to the edge efficiently because my cock was an egotistical bastard that wanted to strip her of her virginity without further delay. She froze with a harsh grunt and started coming. Her pussy clamped down on my fingers, and I swallowed every pulse, every drop, every beat of it because it belonged to me.

She screamed my name as the force of it pushed through her, and I didn't dare pull my mouth away to answer her, but, yes, baby, you're mine. I give that pussy those sweet vibrations. Only me. No one else had ever been here and no one else ever would .

I came back into myself as her orgasm backed off, realizing I had Wren naked on a bed for the first time. Holy shit. What was I doing?

A fucking virgin. My brother's ex-girl. A good girl who'd be wrecked by me and my bullshit.

I wiped my lips and pulled myself back up her body to tell her we needed to stop, but she wasn't having it. She wrapped her arms around my neck and surged up, mashing her mouth to mine. She licked my lips, and I knew she was tasting herself on me. I forgot what I was going to say completely. Her hips bucked against my abs and her foot pressed on my ass.

"You ready?" My voice faltered as I unbuttoned my jeans and shoved them down with my briefs. "No goin' back after this."

She whimpered and her chest heaved. "So ready."

"Good girl." An arrogant pride flashed through me that she trusted me so completely.

I fumbled to get a condom from my pocket and put it on quickly. My dick was so hard it hurt. I was acting like a goddamn teenager who didn't know what he was doing. She needed me to be smooth, and I couldn't summon enough restraint to check myself.

Condom finally in place, I lay down on top of her, and my cock nestled between her legs. "I'm gonna take care of you." With one hand, I laced my fingers through hers and pressed her hand to the bed. With the other, I worked the tip in and waited. "Okay?"

She nodded emphatically. "Yes, Mag. "

God, it felt phenomenal. One last moment where we were so close but not there yet. Even through the condom, I could feel her hot wetness coating my cock and squeezing tight, so so tight.

I pressed forward and stopped when I encountered resistance. "I won't hurt you." My entire body shuddered with suppressed need and the fear of making the wrong move.

Her fingernails dug into the top of my ass and tugged forward, urging me to keep going. "I'm fine."

With a little more pressure, I broke through and sank inside her. Scalding white heat engulfed me, drawing a strangled groan from my throat. For a heartbeat, I was paralyzed and fully surrendered to the overwhelming ecstasy of being buried deep inside her tight, wet pussy.

Forcing myself to focus, I took a breath and asked her, "Still good?"

"Yes," she answered with a husky voice as she contracted her thighs and clenched around me.

"My God, woman," I hissed.

I pulled out and pumped inside her once. It was everything I'd dreamed she would be and more. She moaned and pulled her hand out of my grip to wrap her arms around my shoulders. A few more barely controlled slow strokes, and she started answering me with her hips.

Once I was sure she was ready, I became a thrusting machine, finally letting loose and pounding into her. My other hand moved to her breast, squeezing it harder than I intended. A few more strokes, and I brought her leg up to tuck under my arm .

She clung to me like she was about to fall off a steep ledge. I angled my hips to hit her clit and dragged out my cock in a way she'd feel it inside too. I was about to work my hand between us when she gasped and her back arched. Her legs clasped around me like a vise as her channel pulsed on my shaft. I buried myself to the hilt and rode it out with her. "Yes, baby. Good girl. My God, you're incredible."

At that moment, I was fully immersed in my girl. I floated in an endless chasm of Wren's shuddering body. For several breaths, we were fused into one being, united in something so beautiful it must be what love was.

Unable to hold back, my hips jolted as I exploded inside her with a shout. I didn't come with my balls or my dick, I came with my heart. The fire in my chest burst to life, filling the dark void there with brilliant flames.

She chanted my name, her voice tinged with fear and excitement.

"Right here. I got you." I moved my hand to her cheek and pressed a kiss to her neck. Her pulse point fluttered on my lips, and I continued to pump into her, milking every last throb of my cock.

It all happened way too fast and an impulse to take her again swept through me. I wanted to chase this feeling so I never lost it. But this condom wouldn't last through that, and I didn't know if she could take it. When her desperate hold around me finally loosened, I pulled away, and the glow was still there. The fire in my heart still burned bright. The empty black hole was now full of light .

My thoughts were reeling, and I could barely form words, but I had to tell her somehow. "It means something," I whispered.

"Mmm-hmm." She dipped her head into my neck and snuggled against my chest.

"It means you belong to me as I belong to you." I somewhat repeated the vows from our fake ceremony. My hands smoothed over her hair and down her back. It felt good to say it to her with the real meaning behind it instead of the hollow longing that was in my heart that day.

She hummed her approval as we clung to each other while our breathing evened out.

After a few minutes, her shoulders began to shake subtly, and she made little squeaking noises. Oh God, was she crying?

"Hey. You okay?" I pulled the hair from her face.

"I'm just..." The tremor in her voice worried me.

Holy shit. What did I do? Did I miss something while I was so wrapped up in myself? "If I hurt you..."

"No. It's not that. I just... I..."

"Are you sad?" I pulled out and lay beside her, wrapping my arms behind her back to draw her close. Fuck. If I'd ruined this for her...

"I can't believe how beautiful it was."

I breathed out a huge sigh of relief. "Me either, babe. Fucking gorgeous."

She pressed her palms to her forehead, her cheeks flushed, mouth still roughed up from my kisses. "What have I been doing until now? Who was I? Why did I think I couldn't have this? Why do I still think I shouldn't have it? "

I pressed a kiss to her lips and wiped her tears with my thumbs. "I don't know. I'm wondering the same things myself. I can tell you that what we just shared isn't the way it always is so maybe this is the time we're both supposed to have it. Together."

Her hand caressed my head and ears and she peered at me with watery eyes. "I think so. I feel extremely lucky."

"Me too. Honestly, now that I've had this with you, I can't imagine why I'd ever want anything with anyone else."
