not sure what he saw there exactly, but it must have been a hunger so intense it demanded immediate satisfaction, because that was what he did. Only, not the way I had pleaded for. Instead, he pushed himself lower until his shoulders were tented by the sheet and his face was between my legs.
The soft warmth of his tongue sliding against my moist core was enough to send me over the edge, but Calix refused to allow that to happen so quick. He sucked, nipped and swirled his tongue around my clit, but each time he felt the telling tremble of my release, he pulled back, just long enough to stifle my pleasure, before working me up all over again.
I was filled with a need so deeply potent, I was certain I was going to combust. Then, without any warning at all, he lifted his head once more, and crawled up my body. When he lowered himself against my body, his mouth against mine, I tasted myself on his lips. It did things to me - the taste of me on this man - wonderful things.
I felt him shift above me, his hand guiding his cock to my opening. And then I felt him stretch me, filling me. A moan of utter ecstasy escaped from my lips as he buried himself slow and deep.
When he filled me completely, he stilled. His eyes swept lovingly over my face as he took me in, memorizing my every feature in the same way I was memorizing his.
“I love you, Nova McKnight. You’re everything pure and true - you’re everything I never thought I could possess, but you’re mine.” He slowly pulled out before pushing back in slowly, claiming me, possessing me, owning me - loving me. “You’re everything I know I don’t deserve, love.” He thrust again. “But I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to be the man who gives you everything you could ever want or need. Because that is what you are for me, love. You’re everything I could ever want or need. You’re everything to me.”
“I love you, Calix McKnight.” I tried to keep the tears from falling down my temples as I opened my legs wider to wrap them around his waist. As I pulled his mouth to mine, I whispered. “Consume me.”
And he did.
Chapter 8
Calix was still inside me, long after we had both come down from our sizzling high. His weight over my body was consuming, but I didn’t complain. As a matter of fact, even though it was a struggle to breathe evenly, it was a good kind of struggle. My legs were still wrapped around his waist and his arms were circled tightly around me. One beneath the small of my back, and the other rested beneath the nape of my neck. His face was pressed tight into the nook of my neck and his breathing had evened long minutes ago. I knew he was on the verge of sleep, inside of me, on top of me - and although I wasn’t particularly comfortable, I couldn’t imagine asking him to move.
Beneath this man, I felt so entirely safe.
Beneath Calix, I felt as though I were tented from the evils in the world - which was ironic, really, because before Calix, I hadn’t really been aware that the evils were even there, lurking within the shadows. Now, they were everywhere. It seemed, that everywhere I looked, I saw a threat. They prowled like scavengers behind every corner, concealed within every damning shadow, waiting to devour. Evil was everywhere. Hell, the evil of the world followed me into my dreams nightly. I’d severely been deprived of my sleep as a result of the evil I feared haunting me so relentlessly, and without compassion.
But right now, with Calix covering me so completely, I felt safe from all those evils. Right now, beneath Calix, I felt as though I were, for the first time, protected by the shadows. Because, in reality, it was within the shadows we were hiding.
Shifting slightly, slowly, I tried to work a kink from my back without rousing Calix - and I failed. Not a second after I moved, Calix had lifted his head from the nook of my neck to gaze into my eyes. His were filled with a new bout of worry I instantly wanted to quell.
