Emily wanted to say she was beyond ready, but Grady was already completely consuming her again. “I can’t do this . . . I can’t . . .” Emily rasped, her heart galloping inside her chest, wondering if she was going to climax or die. Every muscle in her body was tense, and her orgasm was rushing toward her with frightening speed. It was as terrifying as it was intoxicating, her body never reacting this violently in the past.
It’s all Grady. His touch makes me insane.
Her hands dove into his hair, grasping his head as he ate her relentlessly, his tongue now moving hot and heavy on her engorged clit. The tiny bud pulsated and her hips rocked with every stroke of his tongue.
Her eyes closed, and she saw flashes of light in the darkness, her whole body sensitized and electric. Her climax slammed into her like a hurricane, and she let out a moan of complete ecstasy as she found her release so hard that she was helpless to do anything else but lie there and come beneath Grady as he sipped at her climax like it was nectar.
“No more. Please. Fuck me.” Emily was frantic, unable to wait another minute to feel Grady’s cock inside her. She’d just experienced the most incredible orgasm of her entire life. Still, she needed . . . more. She needed Grady inside her.
Climbing up her body, Grady positioned himself between her thighs. His expression was possessive and animalistic, his eyes stormy and dark. “If I take you now, I’ll never let you go,” he warned her gutturally. “Not that I will anyway. You were mine since you landed on my doorstep, angel.” He let his cock slide along her folds, drenching himself in her juices. “Just like this, you feel so good. So warm. So incredible.” His hips moved, his shaft sliding through her folds again and again.
“I’m no angel. I’m just a woman who’s going to go crazy if you don’t fuck me right now.” Emily ran her hands down his back and latched on to his fine ass, clawing at him, aching to have him claim her. “I’m begging, Grady. I need you.”
“Condom,” he growled against the side of her neck.
“I’ve been on birth control for years for my periods. Do you trust me?” she gasped.
“Hell, yes. And I’m damn glad you trust me, because I’m not sure if I could move right now. Nothing has ever felt this good,” he said gruffly, and then swooped down to capture her mouth with his.
Emily could taste herself on his lips, and it only made her need him more. Her legs wrapped around his hips, urging him closer.
Grady entered her like his control had snapped, his cock embedding itself inside her to the hilt. He groaned, thrusting his tongue deeply into her mouth as his cock buried itself into her heat. He retreated and entered again, his groan even more tortured. Pulling his mouth from hers, he rasped, “You’re so tight.”
“It’s been a while,” she panted, wrapping her arms around his neck to hold on tight.
“Mine,” he growled, his hips thrusting, his cock entering her again and again.
“Yes,” she whispered harshly. “Oh, yes, Grady.”
He took her body over, possessing her, claiming her with every stroke of his cock, touching places inside her that no one had ever touched before. He filled her completely, his pace increasing, his body demanding more and more. Emily gave him everything she had to give, moaning and throwing her head back as Grady slipped his hands beneath her ass and started to pummel himself into her with a force that took her breath away.
“Too hard. But I can’t stop,” he rumbled, sounding tortured.
“Don’t stop. Take what you want. I’m right here with you.” Emily loved his out-of-control dominance, and she didn’t want him tame. “More,” she pleaded, reveling in the feel of Grady’s cock hammering in and out of her, claiming what belonged to him in the most elemental of ways.
“Love you, Emily,” he said fiercely as he pumped into her over and over again.
She wanted to tell him she loved him too, but her climax hit her hard, rocking her body with intense spasms that robbed her of speech. She moaned incoherently, her channel clenching hard around Grady’s cock.
His mouth covered hers, swallowing her sounds of ecstasy, and releasing his own groan as her climax milked him. His warm release exploded inside her as he kissed her senseless, as though he were trying to continue to claim her even after he already had her.
Releasing her mouth, he rolled, his cock disconnecting, her body splaying over his. They lay there together, both of them panting and out of breath. The moment she was able to speak, she blurted out, “I love you too. So very much.”
He kissed her forehead, her lips, her cheeks, every spot on her face before he answered, “Stay with me, Emily. Every day will be like Christmas for me.”
Emily swallowed back tears, hearing the vulnerability so very clear in his voice. “I want to give you Christmas every day. I want to make you happy, Grady.”
“You already do,” he said in a husky voice. He shifted her body gently to his side, covered her with the comforter and slid out of bed. Emily sighed as she watched his incredible body move across the room and take something out of the pocket of his soaked jeans.
“Damn. I lost my contacts in the water,” she said, disgruntled, just now noticing that her vision was blurred.
Flipping on the light on the bedside table, Grady handed her a velvet box that was waterlogged and dirty. “I’ll get you more. It doesn’t matter. As long as you’re safe. You took several years off my life, woman. You have to stop doing that. And I swear I’m going to clean out every store in the area to supply you with plenty of boots,” he said gruffly. “Those sneakers are hazardous to my health.”
Emily looked down at the box in her hand, her fingers starting to tremble.
“I wasn’t really out on business. I needed to pick this up. I had a good friend who told me that I should marry you as soon as possible. I think it’s the best advice that Simon ever gave me.” He reached over and flipped open the box.
Emily’s breath caught; the diamond inside the box was absolutely breathtaking. “Oh, my God.”
“Marry me, angel?” He pulled the ring from its resting place and tossed the box on the floor.
Emily’s tears began to flow like a river down her face. Grady didn’t give her much time to answer as he lifted her hand and slipped the enormous diamond onto her finger. “Were you going to give me an option?” She hiccuped on a sob, her heart squeezing so tightly in her chest that she was short of breath.
