donât think Iâd want to repeat that.â
âYou were nervous?â He laughed. âI was afraid I wouldnât please you and youâd send me back.â
âKeane, you werenât!â
He paused in kissing her to look into her eyes. âI was.â
Sheâd never known heâd been afraid, too, the first time they had made love. The admission touched her. She put her hand to his face.
âI couldnât have sent you back,â she said. âI loved you too much to live without you.â
His tender kiss hadnât changed in all the years theyâd been together. Familiarity couldnât steal the sweetness of it, or quench the fire he always created when he put his mouth on hers. No matter how many times they joined, each time was as exciting and fresh as the first time.
âYouâre not naked,â he whispered in her ear. âAnd I am.â
She remedied that by sitting up and tugging her dress off over her head. âWe canât have that.â
His low chuckle parted her thighs. His hand stroked the curls there, finding the already upright button of her clit and pinching it lightly. He rolled it between his thumb and forefinger before moving his hand down lower to slide a finger through her folds.
Slickness, begun at the sight of him undressing, already coated her. He brought some of it up to coat her clit, making it slippery. He rubbed her in small, tight circles interspersed with an occasional up and down stroke that had her whimpering in short order.
He kissed her mouth, her cheek, her jaw, down to her collarbone where he nibbled along the ridge and smoothed his tongue across her skin. He moved lower to suckle her nipples, one then the other, while his hand continued to work between her legs. Marrin looked down to see him stroking himself too, the thickness of his cock appearing and disappearing into his fist as he pumped it.
âCome here.â She reached for him.
He shifted on the bed so she could reach his penis. He kissed her hipbone. She angled her head just a bit, and took him into her mouth.
His low, strangled moan sent a pulse of pleasure through her that she could so affect him. Marrin slid his cock down the back of her throat as far as she could until her lips touched his belly.
His hand stuttered in its movement against her clitoris as she sucked him harder. The break in his rhythm only gave her more pleasure, brought her closer to orgasm faster. Her clit throbbed and her hips moved as she slid her mouth up again, then down.
âMarrin, I love it when you take me all the way in your mouth.â
His throaty words made her body tingle. She loved that about him, his ability to tell her exactly how he was feeling at all times during their lovemaking. What he liked, what he wanted, how to please him.
Before Keane, Marrin had never spoken during sex. Orgasms were like buried treasure. âXâ marks the spot. Find the map, follow clues, and maybe youâll hit the jackpot.
Keane had shown her the freedom of speech, of telling her partner exactly how she liked to be touched and where, exactly what would work to get her off.
âI want to be inside you,â he murmured, even as he pushed himself deeper into her mouth.
She gave him one final, loving suck and then let him go. She got onto her hands and knees to look down at him, his eyes gone yellow in his arousal. He licked his lips, and before she could move, Keane got behind her and slid inside.
A moan escaped her as he filled her. Her butt tipped upward as she put her forehead to the bed, her hands on either side of her head, bracing herself. In this position he could grip her hips to move her, use a hand to slide around in front and tweak her clit while he thrust. He could go deeper, harder, and she gasped out in pleasure as he did.
âYouâre so beautiful,â he told her, as his hands rubbed circles on her buttocks and the small dimples on either side of
