“Yes. More. Please.” Maddie’s hips undulated, begging for him.
His fingers pumped as his thumb increased its friction on her throbbing clit. “Come for me. I want to watch you take your pleasure. Take it,” he commanded.
Her whole body quaking, she shattered. Her muscles clenched around his fingers as they filled her, over and over.
Maddie was so lost that she started when Sam lifted her, hands around her ass, and impaled her with his cock.
“Fuck yeah. You’re going to come again for me. Around my c**k this time,” he rasped, his low voice vibrating with need. “Wrap your legs all the way around me.”
Maddie had instinctively lifted her legs and put her arms around his neck when he had lifted her, but she wrapped them tighter, loving the slick feel of their flesh sliding together, the gel still not rinsed from her body. “Sam, oh God, you feel so good.”
His c**k filled her completely, and she shivered from the sensation. Surrounded by heat and steam, their bodies hungry, they both groaned with erotic, feral desire as he began to thrust.
He took her with a combination of primal need and raw possessiveness that had her breathless. Each stroke was a claiming, a branding of her body, and his dominance nearly made her come apart.
“Tell me you need me. Tell me you’re mine,” he growled as he drove her higher and hotter with every stroke.
“I love you. I’ll always need you,” she agreed with a whimper, her belly clenching, feeling her climax building to a frightening intensity.
“Fuck. There’s nothing better than being inside you. You’re mine, Sunshine. You always have been mine,” he rumbled, his voice fierce.
Maddie gasped as he pummeled in and out of her with a desperation that nearly bordered on madness, a carnal passion that had her exploding into a climax that tore through her body with so much intensity that she threw back her head and screamed.
Holding her ass with one muscular arm, he kept up his brutal pace, letting her orgasm massage his c**k while he fisted one hand in her wet hair and swallowed her scream, spearing his tongue into her mouth, owning her pleasure.
He buried his c**k deeply inside her as his own hot release exploded into her womb, and he released his own tortured groan against her lips.
Panting, Maddie lowered her legs to the ground, keeping her arms around Sam’s neck to support her trembling lower limbs.
They stood just like that for quite some time, both of them unable to think, unable to speak, their bodies still connected.
Finally, Maddie whispered in a tremulous voice. “That was almost frightening.”
Sam cuddled her close to him, lowered his mouth to her ear and whispered back, “No, love. That was absolute perfection.” His voice was hoarse and held a touch of awe.
Maddie sighed, knowing she couldn’t have expressed it any better than that.
*****
“We’re getting married soon,” Sam growled as he took a gulp of wine and speared Maddie with a relentless stare.
Maddie was so content she could hardly move. She had just cleaned her plate and was enjoying her wine at the table. Sam had fed her linguini with an awesome alfredo sauce and shrimp. Really, the man could cook, and there was something really hot about a guy who could master a kitchen.
I think it’s hot when he masters me too. Shit. Sam was just plain…hot.
Maddie stared back at him with a complacent expression. “How soon?”
“Tomorrow,” he answered hopefully. “We could fly to Vegas.”
“Your mother, Max, Kara and Simon would never forgive us,” Maddie mused, her heart skittering at the thought of belonging to Sam.
“This is about us, Sunshine. Not them. And I’ve waited long enough. I’ve wanted you to be mine almost from the first moment I saw you,” he answered in a husky voice. “Did I tell you I love you?”
Yeah. About a hundred times since the shower. But I’m not counting. And it makes my heart sing every single time.
“Mmmm…I’m not sure. Maybe you should tell me again,” she murmured.
“I could tell you a hundred different ways and show you in so many more, but I got you a constant reminder just in case you forget,” he answered hesitantly, pulling a small box from the pocket of his jeans.
Maddie’s gaze fixated on the box for a moment before she shook herself and reached for it. Sam moved, crouching in front of her and took her extended hand, opening the box himself. “I’ve loved you forever, Maddie. Please marry me.”
Stunned, Maddie simply stared at the beautiful ring in a bed of black velvet, a piece of jewelry so beautiful and so perfect she was almost afraid to touch it. She had never owned anything so fine, but it wasn’t the value of the diamonds, it was the sentiment. The heart-shaped diamond was exquisite, but she knew it had a deeper meaning, one Sam was trying to express with this piece of jewelry.
“You’re supposed to say yes now,” Sam said in a graveled voice.
“Yes,” she replied breathlessly, her eyes lifting to his face, her smile tremulous. She couldn’t help the tears that flowed down her cheeks as she stared at the man who had always been her destiny. It was difficult not to believe in fate right at this moment. Two souls that had been meant to be together had somehow managed to find each other again, even though the odds were definitely stacked against them.
Sam took the ring out of the box, dropped the container on the table, and handed her the ring. “I had it engraved.”
She took it gently, holding the circle sideways so she could see what it said.
First And Always…I Love You
Choking back a sob, she asked, “How did you know you were the first to say it?”
“I saw your journals today. I read some of the entries. I shouldn’t have, but I did,” he admitted sheepishly.
Maddie smiled, unable to help herself. She loved his honesty, the way he had come right out and unhesitatingly confessed what he had done. No, he shouldn’t have read her journals, but she had nothing to hide from Sam and she never would. “I forgot about them. I’ve been journaling for years. I probably should have boxed those up myself.”
“I did. I didn’t want anyone knowing you like that except me,” he said jealously as he took her hand and slid the ring onto her finger. “Now tell me you’ll marry me tomorrow,” he demanded as he stood, pulling her up and into his warm embrace.
“Sam, we can’t-”
“Oh yeah. We can.” He swung her up into his arms.
Maddie squealed and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. “Sam, what are you-”
