A Bride for Tom (13 page)

He ventured a look at her face. “I didn’t
hurt you?”

“No. But you did shock me. I didn’t expect
you to leap on the bed like that.”

Well, if she wanted to believe he did that on
purpose, let her. With a smile, he said, “I’m a little excited to
be with you.”

“Only a little?” Her lower lip jutted out in
a cute pout.

His smile widened. “Alright. A lot. I’m very
excited.”

“Good. I am, too.”

She cupped the back of his neck with her hand
and brought his head down until their lips touched. Feeling much
better, he relaxed and deepened the kiss. Aware she was wonderfully
naked under him, he shifted to side so he could touch her breasts.
They were heavenly. Just as soft as they’d felt when she’d hugged
him.

He ended the kiss so he could take another
good look at them. He traced the curve of them and ran his thumb
along her nipples, which hardened under his caress. He lowered his
head and kissed one of her nipples, intrigued when she moaned and
wiggled closer to him. Since she seemed to like his action so much,
he traced her nipple with his tongue and was rewarded with another
moan. He settled beside her and continued to spend considerable
time with her breasts. Just as his pa advised, he would take it
slow.

While he continued teasing her nipple, his
hand left her breasts and glided down her smooth, flat stomach
until it rested at the area between her legs. She spread her legs
for him, and he accepted her silent invitation and touched the
sensitive skin, surprised to note that she was so wet his finger
slid right into her.

“Yes, Tom,” she murmured, running her fingers
through his hair and wiggling so that his finger went deeper into
her.

Encouraged, he slid another finger into her,
delighted when she whispered his name again. He drew in a breath
and savored the way her warm flesh closed around his fingers. She
rocked her hips, and soon, he was stroking her core in earnest. Her
soft moans gave way to louder cries, further proving she was
receiving pleasure from what he was doing.

Afraid he’d break the spell if he did
something different, he continued his ministrations. He even added
a third finger. She was tight at first, but the more he moved his
fingers inside her, the easier it was to stroke her.

This was leading to something wonderful, and
he didn’t want to spoil it for her. His efforts paid off, and
before long, she gave out a final cry and grew still, her flesh
clenching and unclenching around his fingers. If she felt this good
around his fingers, just imagine how much better she’d feel around
his penis.

When she relaxed, she whispered for him to
enter her. She didn’t need to tell him twice! He settled between
her legs. She was still a little tight, but he was able to slide
all the way into her. He let out a low groan, savoring this moment
for as long as he could.

When he was unable to stay still any longer,
he slid partly out of her then slid back in. He moaned and repeated
the process. It felt better the more he did it. She wrapped her
legs around his waist and lifted her hips, taking him all the way
into her.

“I love you, Jessica,” he whispered as he
slid partially out and then back in.

“I love you, too, Tom,” she murmured.

From there he couldn’t concentrate on
anything but how wonderful making love to her felt. His careful
movements eventually gave way to impatient thrusting, and suddenly,
he was at the peak. He allowed himself one last thrust before he
released his seed, his body taut as wave after wave of pleasure
coursed through him. He knew it was going to be good, but he had no
idea it was going to be this good!

Afterwards, he collapsed in her arms, his
heart still racing and his breathing ragged. Jessica held him, her
legs still wrapped around his waist. He was still inside her, and
at the moment, he didn’t want to leave, so he stayed right where he
was.

When his head cleared, he gave her a
lingering kiss, his tongue brushing hers once more. “I could spend
the rest of my life here and be content.”

“Me, too,” she replied, her voice soft. “But
I do hope you’ll bring in my trunk at some point.”

He lifted his head, his eyes wide. “I left it
in the buggy!”

She smiled and gave his waist a playful
squeeze with her legs. “You don’t have to go out right now to get
it. Just bring it in before I need to get dressed.”

Smiling in return, he said, “I’ll do that.
But just so you know, you won’t need to get dressed for a long
time.” He kissed her again, and before long, they were making love
once more.

All of Tom
