Hungry eyes raked my torso.
Taking in the atrocities I’d carved on myself. The graphic scenes. Life and death and obscenity. Gnarled, twisted faces, phantoms and wraiths, a haunting written across my body because it was the only thing I’d known.
Her regard darted all over, as if she were taking stock, reading me, and stowing the information away.
She should be repulsed, but she let go of a ragged breath as she let her fingertips drift from where No Mercy was tatted on the front of my throat, all the way over the five demons I’d marked on my pecs, down to my abs that were hard as stone with the amount of restraint it took me not to dive in and devour.
“How are you so beautiful?”
My chuckle was raw. “Not sure what you’re seeing, baby.”
“I’m seeing you.”
I should have rejected it, the way she was looking at me like she could see through the years of hardened scars that covered me like armor. Like she was witnessing my sins play out on a reel, had direct access to my memories, and she might still want to be there with me, anyway.
“It’s you who’s beautiful. You who knocks the wind out of me every time I look at you.” I dipped back in, kissing across both of her nipples, before I kissed up her chest and to her jaw. Then I dove back in and took that delicious mouth.
Cinnamon and spice.
Girl knocking through me. Pure intoxication.
Fingertips sank into my shoulders, raking and ripping, urging me closer.
Our tongues tangled, mouths clashing with the desperation of the kiss, and I angled back enough that I could get hold of the waistband of her sweats. I ripped myself from her mouth so I could pull them down her long, lean legs.
A tremble rocked her as I took her in where she squirmed on the couch, and I reached out and dragged the tip of my finger through the crotch of her panties.
“Pink,” I grunted.
Yeah, it had definitely become my favorite fucking color. A pretty flush rolled across her flesh. “Just the way I like it,” I told her.
“Would you have been disappointed if I was wearing blue?” The slightest tease edged her raspy words.
A chuckle was slipping free as I wound my fingers in the sides of her underwear. “Don’t think there’s a chance you could ever disappoint me, but I do have to admit, I’m pleased.”
Charleigh glowed, this fucking sweet, desirous smile taking to her stunning face. “Maybe I want to please you the way you promised to please me.”
Couldn’t stop the hitch of a grin at the corner of my mouth. “You won’t catch me complaining.”
I hooked my fingers in the edges of her underwear, and I slowed. “You still good?”
Her throat bobbed as she swallowed hard. “Yes. Please.”
There wasn’t any hesitation in her.
She lifted her ass from the couch to help me, then she shivered as I began to wind them down.
Her thighs.
Her knees.
Her ankles.
Girl so sexy I was finding it difficult to breathe.
I edged back as I pulled them from her feet, then I took her by the ankles and pressed a kiss to the inside of each one before I propped her heels on the edge of the couch.
Exposing her fully.
My heart nearly seized, cock so hard I couldn’t think.
Her cunt was swollen and pink.
The woman drenched.
Lust hammered through my veins. My mouth watered as I slipped my palms up her legs until I had her by the knees, spreading her wider.
“You have any idea what you look like right now, Charleigh? Spread out for me? Soaking wet and pussy swollen? Never seen a more delicious sight. I’m in fuckin’ ecstasy, and I haven’t even had you yet.”
I dipped in and took a good, long lick. Tongue sweeping through her lips before I rode up to her engorged, throbbing clit.
She jerked, and those fingers sank deep into the back of my head. She pressed me closer as she whimpered, “Oh, God.”
I eased back a fraction, blowing a soft puff of air against her nub, a clash with the heat.
She twitched and drove those needy fingers deeper into my skin. “Don’t tease me, River.”
“No teasin’ to it, baby. Just taking my time so you know what it’s like to be cherished.”
A soft gasp rolled her throat. “That’s what I feel like. Like with you I might be.”
I dragged lazy kisses along the inside of her thigh as I murmured at her flesh, “You’re going to get it now, what it’s like to be someone’s queen.”
More promises I was a fool to make, but it didn’t mean that it wasn’t true. I was going to lift this girl up high.
Adore her.
Worship her.
Show her the perfection that she was.
Her chest arched from the couch when I dove in again, this time lapping and sucking, stroking my tongue through her pussy.
