“I want to make love to you,” he says huskily. “Will you let me, baby? I don’t have the words, but I want to show you. Let me show you.” There’s a plea in his tone, but it’s wasted on me. I’d never deny him anything.
“Please.”
His mouth descends on mine, and he kisses me so deeply that my tears threaten to make themselves known once again. He bends and lifts me into his arms, bridal style, and I squeak out my surprise, making him chuckle.
“I got you, baby. Always.” He carries me a few short steps to the bed and places me in the center. He drops a peck of a kiss on my lips before standing and reaching for the nightstand drawer.
“Merrick.”
He stops and his eyes find mine.
“Nothing between us.”
He smiles. “My girl is telling me what she wants. Are you protected, baby?”
“I’m on the pill, but you knew that. And I’m negative. It’s been over a year since I’ve been with anyone, and my last check-up was six months ago.”
He nods. “I did know you were on the pill, but I had to ask. I’m negative too. Been about the same time for me, and I had my annual physical at the beginning of the year.”
“And if I wasn’t on the pill?” The words are out before I can think better of it. “Pregnancy is a concern always. Nothing is one-hundred-percent,” I remind him.
“I’m not sure I would care. I’ve never gone bare, and the thought of being inside you with nothing between us is a craving I didn’t know I had until this moment.”
“I’ve never either.” I smile because I’m sure he guessed that. “I want it to be you.”
“This changes things.”
My heart skips. Does this mean he’s going to tell me he wants us to stay real?
“Okay.”
He gives me a soft smile, and I’m certain there’s something in his eyes that looks a lot like love, but I could just be seeing what I want to see. Maybe I’m projecting my feelings to see them in his eyes.
“There she is.” He smiles softly. “Baby, I know I’m not going to last when I feel your warm pussy milking my cock. That means I need you to come for me before we get to the finale. Just in case.”
My heart sinks, but I nod, letting him know I agree. “I’m yours. Take what you need.”
“What I need is for you to come on my tongue.”
“Okay.” I give him a cheeky grin that does nothing to squash the pain I’m feeling in my chest that I’m going to lose him. I force that thought from my mind because I don’t want to miss a second of this time with him. I already know it’s a memory I will pull up for years to come.
I’ll never love anyone the way I love him.
Merrick moves to the bed and settles between my thighs. He pushes my legs apart and grins up at me. He doesn’t say a word, but yet again, he doesn’t need to. His eyes tell me everything I need to know. He plans to devour me, and I’m here for it.
CHAPTER
EIGHTEEN
Merrick
My cock throbs from being pressed into the mattress. The thought of being inside Courtney with nothing between us has me leaking with desire, but I need to slow this down. I can’t just slam into her and take what I’m craving. No, I need to make this good for both of us, which means I get to eat my favorite meal before experiencing something with her that I’m certain will be life-changing.
If I didn’t love her, I wouldn’t even consider it, but knowing she holds my heart in the palm of her hands means I can give her this part of me. Share this with her, something I’ll never share with anyone else if I have any say about it.
But first, my girl needs to come.
I place a kiss on her inner thigh before turning my head and lavishing the other with the same. I want this to be good for her, because I’m certain the gift she’s agreed to give me is going to be one of the greatest of my life.
I place a kiss just above her pussy, right where I know she wants my lips to be. She makes this sound. It’s not quite a moan, but it’s a sound that comes from deep within her. Needing more of that sound, and any other she’s willing to give me, I flick my tongue over her clit.
“Merrick,” she breathes out my name like a fucking caress.
I suck gently, stroking her with my tongue. When she tugs on my hair, I know she’s in this with me. My cock aches and even though I don’t want to rush this, I need to get her there before I explode against the sheets.
