Closer To You (Suits in Pursuit) (20 page)

She
writhed and moaned at his stroke. He anchored his hand against the wall, raised her leg high and placed it in the crook of his arm, holding her steady in this position. His fingers went to work. He inserted one, then another and finally a third finger, pumping into her core.

“You like this Kerrigan?”

“Yes.” She muttered breathlessly.

He continued fingering her, stroking
inside her until she climaxed. He lowered his arm, carefully bringing down her leg.

“I’m not done with you yet
sweetheart. I want you out of your mind.”

She moaned, and her eyes rolled back. “Oh, yes.”

He slithered down her body and planted his knees on the hardwood. In slow motion, he guided her panties to the ground, cuffing her ankles. One foot at a time, she stepped out of the thongs and kicked them across the floor. He lifted her leg again and placed her bare foot onto his shoulder. Axel dove into her haven with his tongue, delighting in her sweet, succulent taste.

“You
taste good. I love how sweet you are.” He groaned.

“Ah, Axel.”

He French kissed her sex, sliding his tongue past her slick, delicate folds and plunging deep into her moist center. She trembled, her legs weak under his sexual barrage.

Soft breaths formed into words barely spoken
. “Feels so good.” She whispered.

He continued his work, enjoying her wet
treasure until she climaxed again.

She cried out loudly. “Oh Axel, you’re amazing.”

“Baby, I’m still not done with you. I want more.”

Axel
lowered her leg down from his shoulder and then he stood. His cock at full attention and ready to drive into her hard. Taking her hand, he led her up the stairs her to the loft bedroom. He guided her to the bed. Nimble hands raised Kerrigan’s dress over her head. She wore only her periwinkle lacy bra and her Brazilian wax. Axel leaned behind her and unfastened her bra, her plump caramel breasts released. Eager hands unbuttoned and removed his shirt, exposing his muscles rippled beneath. Kerrigan watched him greedily. In one swift motion, he yanked off his jeans and boxer briefs, freeing his erection. Her round eyes enlarged, and a quiet gasp escaped her lips.

She
lowered herself to her knees and took him into her hands. Axel stilled. Kerrigan marveled at the feel of him, her hands sliding up and down his long thick shaft. His thick member pulsed in small hands barely able to wrap around his girth. Slowly, she lowered her mouth onto his mushroom tip, swirling her tongue in a circular motion and then took him deep into her throat. Ingesting him, the pad of her tongue stroked his hard cock.

“Oh, baby!” He groaned.

She sucked and stroked his cock until he lifted her up from bent knees.

They stood, naked bodies pressed firmly togeth
er, breathless. He enveloped her in his strong arms and devoured her with his kiss, the sensual heat between them wild and untamable. They tumbled onto the bed, her body trapped beneath his. He sucked on her peaked nipples as he spread her legs widely apart and lifted them over his shoulders. He plunged his cock deep inside her, stretching her to accommodate his size.

Filled and overwhelmed with his cock inside her, she cried out. “Ah. Ah.”

The mattress squealed and the headboard banged against the wall in synchronized harmony with his thrusts. Enraptured, her legs quaked with tremors and the room began to spin around her.

In repeated motion, he raised his hips high, nearly pulling himself out of her, before slamming into her
once more. He quickened the pace of his thrusts. She whimpered and moaned loudly and pushed back against each of Axel’s blows. The pleasure inside her so intense, her body trembled as he continued plowing into her. Axel pinned her hands above her head and muffled her screams with his deep kisses. Her walls clenched around his rigid cock, every nerve ending fired simultaneously. The sensation pulsed through her, started at her core and moved in waves, and then rippled through every inch of her body.

She screamed out his name. “Axel. Oh. Axel.
Axel.”

Driving
into her fast and deep, Axel raised up on his knees giving him a full view of his cock slamming into her, their contrasting flesh tones merged into one. Kerrigan’s loud screams his aphrodisiac, he hammered into her until she silenced from exhaustion. He rammed his cock into her over, and over again until at last, he found his release. He exploded deep into her, pushing her over the edge. She gripped his arms, digging into his flesh. Her entire body convulsed as she screamed his name again.

Still buried deep inside her,
he leaned down and kissed her deeply. “I love you so much baby,” he said with panted breath.

“I love you too.” She returned breathlessly. “I’ve
loved you for a long time.”

He
caressed her cheek with his knuckles. “I know baby,” he said with a gentle smile.

Kerrigan reminisced about their relationship over the past year and everything that had transpired between them to this point. She was finally able to express her unbridled
love for Axel freely and willingly. Tears of joy burned behind her eyes as she poured out her soul to him.

“Axel, I was afraid to love you, afraid to lose you, afraid to get lost in you. No matter the cost, I want you to know how I feel, how much you
mean to me. You’re everything to me. You’re thoughtful, caring, loving and tender. You make me feel safe. You make me laugh. You make me smile. You make me cry. You make me feel whole.” Kerrigan’s eyes heavy with tears, he held her firmly in his arms. “I could go on for days about your body, and how hot you make me. You have me heart, mind, body and soul. I’m not afraid to admit that I want more than a sexual fling with you. I love you. With everything in me, I love you Axel.” Tears burst from her eyes and washed her face.

He
stared tenderly into her wet orbs. “Kerrigan, I know you love me. I’ve known for a while, but to hear you say the words, to express your love for me in that way makes me the happiest man in the world. I never want you to be afraid to love me. Your love is safe with me. Your heart is home with me.” They embraced each other tightly. She never wanted to let go.

After basking in the afterglow of their passion and confessions of love, they dressed, realizing that their absence from the main
house would be recognized by now.

Sitting on the bed,
he put on his shoes. “Baby, sit here with me for a minute.” He smoothed out the spot next to him. “There’s something we need to work out before we head back inside. Can we talk?” he asked, his tenor and countenance sobering.

Snapped out of her
euphoric state, “What’s wrong?” She asked with tremors clinging to the end of her words.

H
er voice pitched, and she arched her brow, anchored beside him as her fingers curled around the edge of the mattress, clawing the floral comforter.

Axel watched
her beautiful flustered face contort, and the corners of his lips curled upward. “Baby, you know I love everything about you, right?” He paused, and then covered her hand resting on the mattress with his. “You’re beautiful, incredibly intelligent, talented, kind and sexy…”

“But? What
’s wrong Axel? Please tell me.” She pleaded.

“
…but, your name bugs the hell out of me.”

She
narrowed her eyes at him, as though he had grown three heads and was speaking some alien dialect. “You can call me by my nickname, Kerri or…”

Axel interrupted before she could
finish. “Oh no sweetheart, that’s not what I mean.” He gazed at her with lips drawn into a straight line. “It’s not your first name that I take issue with.”

Kerrigan frowned.
“I, I don’t understand.”

“
Your last name is all wrong. What are we going to do about that Miss Mulls?”

With this, he smiled
deviously, leaned toward the nightstand and opened the top drawer pulling out the tiny white box he had placed there before she arrived. He opened the box and shaky fingers lifted out the custom four-carat platinum princess cut ring
.

Her eyes turned to oceans and she cupped her mouth with mouth hands, gasping for air.

Axel dropped to his knees, burrowing into the pile of thick gray carpet. “Your last name should be Christensen.” Taking her left hand, he slid the ring onto her finger.

Tears spilled down her cheeks in waterfalls
.

“Kerrigan, I want you, forever. Will you
take my last name? Will you commit your mind, heart, body and soul to me for life? Will you marry me?”
