AUTHOR NOTE: Just a heads up, this is a love scene.
Having experienced a wonderful day sight-seeing, playing slots and shopping... Red wished his contemporaries a good night before retiring to their room.
Listening to the slightly off-key singing as Lizzy sang in the shower, Red was suddenly flooded with a sense of contentment when he realized, it had become of their routine.
He chuckled softly as Lizzy hit a high note... pretty well actually. She must have grown accustomed to the acoustics available to her.
Thinking back over the past two weeks the man was suddenly amazed. It seemed so much had happened in their relationship in such a short amount of time.
An easy camaraderie had been established which allowed Reddington to truly relax and enjoy his surroundings.
He had felt that all day.
He entered the bath offering a brief glance to its sole occupant who ignored his arrival completely, too wrapped up in her nightly ritual to give a mere male a second thought.
He stripped, climbing in the shower, inhaling the intoxicating scent of the female essence. Body lotions abounded on every surface available; shampoos, conditioners, scented soaps... the works.
Liz watched the hazy movements of the man behind the opaque shower wall. She had noted the well built physique discreetly as Red had entered the enclosure, her eyes taking in the well rounded derriere.
Red was totally oblivious to the fact.
Shuffling a few objects on the shelves, he absently read the labels, searching for his own brand. He chuckled when he found them pushed far back among the other assorted sundries.
He breathed in the soft feminine perfume surrounding him, the tensions of the day melting away.
Red glanced down at his penis. It had arisen to half mast, he chastised it with a look.
His need to mount the woman and fill her with his warmth became overpowering to the extreme at times. He was slowly learning to curb such tendencies, but there was a part of him that wondered why he should.
He wanted that intimacy. The exclusivity.
While the Alpha side of the man needed to mark her as his own; the male side wanted to see the evidence of their union fresh inside the woman's body.
Everyone had their fantasies, even Red Reddington.
Quickly washing off the day, he shut down the shower... toweling himself dry. He hung his towel, crossing to grab the necessities, stepping into the silk boxers as an afterthought.
Rounding the opened doorway he pulled up short.
Lizzy lay casually back against the pillows, book in hand...completely naked...sans clothing...raw...in the buff...
This was new...
"I feel a bit overdressed." he gestured to his boxers, his face placid.
"So, take them off." Liz replied, absently sitting her book aside. Turning her attention to the man, she watched his boxers slide down those amazing thighs until she heard the soft rustle of them hit the floor.
Her eyes raked the man's form appreciatively.
Liz tossed back the blankets, her eyes issuing a warm invitation, pleased when the man didn't hesitate in the slightest to join her.
Climbing under the sheet, Red sighed, loving the freedom his nakedness afforded him.
Laying against him, Liz felt the butterflies in her tummy flutter about. The man's soft fuzz on his chest rubbed against her quickly swelling breasts. The smattering of hair on his stocky thighs fascinated her no end. Her knee deliberately brushed against the head of his well hung penis.
She felt a tightening between her legs, her breasts tingling in response to the overpowering masculinity of her lover.
Liz twirled her finger through his light chest hair, trailing a leisurely path to his stomach with a well tapered nail.
Stroking his arm, Liz felt the muscles bunch under her touch. She gently moved her hand over, threading her fingers casually through the abundant blonde hair, teasingly circling his nipple.
She traced the flat dark skin, rolling the small peak, smiling her pleasure when it became taut under her administrations.
So, Red Reddington enjoyed it when someone played with his nipples. How enlightening. She smiled sweetly at the man.
Red lay silently, watching her explore his form. He had explored just about every inch of her and had a pretty damn good idea what made her tick but that didn't mean he wouldn't keep searching for new little hidden treasures with which to play.
He could not get his fill of touching the perfection of Lizzy's form. Often, he touched her simply because he could.
Chauvinistic or not, Lizzy was so tiny in comparison to him, so feminine, it turned him the fuck on.
Their passionate couplings had been more primal, hot and dirty of late, which was like living out his more baser instincts. There were moments of concern when Red thought perhaps, he was being too rough with her, but the woman's raspy moans of pleasure, flushed cheeks and blown pupils had erased any doubts or recriminations.
Liz was usually a very vocal lover but the intensity of their more recent lovemaking sessions had amplified tremendously. Red could not have been more gratified by the fact.
"You can touch me, Lizzy." he encouraged quietly.
She lifted intrigued eyes.
"...Touch me." he bid.
She arose to her knees, sitting beside him, wrapping her fingers around him, testing his weight and girth. She played with the extra skin, experimenting with its movement and texture.
Red drew in a breath, relaxing his head into the pillow as her warm, slim fingers encompassed his flesh.
"Does this feel good?" she asked hesitantly, searching out his features.
"Yes." he rasped hoarsely.
She stroked his shaft diligently, moving the skin up and down, revealing his cock head to her view before it was covered again with the foreskin. She watched the movement of her hand hypnotically until Red was semi-erect.
She smiled softly, enjoying the man's reaction to her touch. "I like touching you."
"I'd say the feeling is more than fucking mutual." he muttered silkily.
She traced his flesh, alternating her touch from soft to insistent, at first hesitatingly and then with more confidence.
The woman was always contradicting herself. But it didn't seem to matter to his dick as it grew in her hand. Stroking his shaft, she rimmed his head, cupping the sensitive area under her palm, keeping no set pattern.
The little cock tease.
"That feels really good, baby." He whispered, closing his eyes to the reality.
His cock throbbed wondrously in her small hand. His eyes deepened considerably as the tip of that tiny tongue flicked out about the full lips.
He had often wondered what her mouth would feel like.
The woman had caught those red lips between startling white teeth. He sensed the turn of her thoughts, hoping beyond hope that they were on the same level of communication.
Even if not, even if she didn't doanything, that visual alone about made his balls spasm.
But if she did... it would be the first time those beautiful lips would be wrapped around his cock.
An event he fantasized about... often.
Lizzy's cheek brushed lovingly against his length. She found his clean fresh aroma arousing. She knew that scent, she found comfort in it. And she wanted more of it...
Turning her head slightly, the woman blew out a slow, controlled breath. Red's fingers twitched at his side as her chin inadvertently brushed his glans.
Unconsciously holding his breath, he watched that sweet pouty mouth part subtly, her hot breath fanning tantalizingly over his more than sensitive skin.
He watched avidly as her tongue flicked out, tasting his head teasingly. He groaned softly as the little pink muscle flickered timidly over his taut skin.
Touching him with more pronounced pressure, Lizzy rubbed the course surface against his glans, getting the feel of him, before fully capturing his bulging crown between her luscious lips.
"Shit.." Red gasped shakily, clutching the sheets tightly in his hands, to stop himself from grasping at her hair.
Having been on the receiving end of blowjobs a few times in his life, a universal rule was to not touch a woman's head unless given express permission. Or they would invariably stop all movement.
His stomach flipped pleasantly as her eyes fluttered open, staring straight up at him.
Red watched the very stimulating sight of her voluptuous mouth sliding in an agonizingly slow pace, down over the bulging flesh fully encasing his cock head.
"Son of a bitch..." he murmured tightly as the woman's tongue suckled him gently.
Liz eased her way down the engorged flesh, pressing the thick crown against the roof of her mouth. Flattening her tongue along the underside of his penis, she hummed melodiously at the first taste of him.
She felt a powerful sense of accomplishment as the man's mouth parted sensually, his dark eyes remained steadily fixed on her face.
She moaned softly as the large muscle involuntarily contracted, followed by the subtle heady mix of earthy musk and salt. Suckling gently, she tasted the warm pre-cum, memorizing the elixir that was all Red.
Liz bobbed her mouth on the straining organ, rolling her tongue over the bulging flesh. She listened intently to what the man did and did not respond to.
She sensed Red was allowing her to take control. Having watched his fingers occasionally gripping the sheet from time to time told her that the man was holding himself in tight check.
She absolutely loathed when guys would grab her head, trying to control her movements. In her mind, it signified that she was not pleasing them in some manner. So she truly appreciated Red's control, allowing her to feel her way, to adapt to his size.
That infamous control slipped a notch , the man's hand lifting of its own volition, halting mid-stride as it almost touched the shiny crown of the dark head. He curled his fingers into a tight fist willing himself back under restraint.
Liz caught the tentative hand, encouraging his touch.
Red groaned brokenly, "Oh, fuck..." he whispered hoarsely, very much enjoying the visual presented.
Softly curling his fingers into the dark strands, he brushed aside the bouncy locks blocking his view.
Completely enraptured by the sight of the woman's pink lips stretched around his thickened shaft, the man's steady breathing became labored as the two moved in a steady rhythm.
He knew the time was nearing to put a halt to her pursuit, but at present he just did not have the will power.
"Okay, baby..." he offered a feeble protest. "We should stop."
The sight of the little extra skin he had, meeting with her swollen lips and the titillating sensation of her hair brushing his thighs and groin, had him quietly cursing his lot in life.
"Really, baby." the man tried for more emphasis. "Maybe it's time to..."
Threading his fingers through the thick strands of hair, Red cupped her breast, drawing a long moan from the woman as his crown settled against the back of her mouth. The slight suction and the vibration tickled along his cock head and shaft deliciously, snapping any restraint he had left.
"Stop..." he whispered his growing agony. Thumbing her chin, he broke the amazing suction as quickly as humanly possible.
She sat up slowly, still unsure as to what exactly had happened. She tried to keep her perspective but secretively she was a little hurt by his actions.
"Did I do something wrong?" she asked anxiously, absently crawling, straddling the man's hips.
"I was about to come down your damn throat... " he panted shakily, "so no, you didn't do a fucking thing wrong."
Pushing a hand between their bodies, he cupped her mound possessively, "I want to be here," he pet the wet hole with his thick finger, "when I come."
Liz shivered slightly at his roughened voice and manner. Pushing back, she purposely teased the erection straining against her backside.
Red's eyes darkened as his cock head slid along her slit. His jaw clenched as the woman lifted, catching the throbbing crown with her body. The tip just easing into her drenched center.
"Dammit!" he snapped, quickly rolling the woman to her back. Gaining control of the situation once more.
Shoving her legs apart, he settled himself commandingly between her thighs.
"You're playing a very dangerous game here, Elizabeth." he growled his frustration, pushing his groin against hers as he reached for the condoms in the side table. "You're pushing me beyond..."
Liz reached out, stopping his quest for what denied their intimacy.
"...No." Her eyes beckoned him.
"What the hell are you doing?" he gritted painfully, needing to be with her so badly, he ached.
"I want to feel you." she looked up at him, her voice shaking slightly.
Red's body trembled at the implication. "Are you telling me," he looked at her almost sternly, his hand having withdrawn from the drawer and its contents, "you don't want–"
"Not tonight, okay..." she pleaded softly. "Please, I need to feel you."
He pushed his thigh against hers, opening her legs wider as he adjusted his stance. Steadying himself on one arm, he stroked his warm fingers against her sex.
"God, baby, I know..." he groaned piteously. "I want that as well, so much." he dropped his head.
Liz shifted her hips, his shaft naturally falling where she wanted it most. He slid forward slightly, the temptation too great. He teased her swollen labia, before pulling away almost angrily, swearing under his breath.
"Sweetheart, we haven't discussed this." the man reminded tightly.
"We're discussing it now." she reminded peevishly.
"This isn't really a good time for me." he reminded waspishly. He grasped the bedding, holding back on giving into his need. He looked into that little face, feeling himself cave by degrees.
"Yes, agreed." he was going to try diplomacy if it killed him. "We're both wanting more than anything to go bareback." he gritted roughly.
Liz reached between them, wrapping her small fingers around the thick girth, setting his crown at her opening. Dragging the smooth skin across the area, she melded the thick head in her heat. The stiffness of his erection made her body flutter about the bulbous head, which tried to grasp and pull him in.
"Baby, you're ovulating.." he tried reasoning, suckling on her sweet neck. "And don't even think of telling me to pull out, because I won't." he wouldn't lie.
He pushed against her a little, feeling her tight little hole fluttering already. "I'll fill you so fucking full..." he growled at the thought.
He could not prevent his large fingers sliding into her body as he slowly pumped them, testing her arousal.
Red grunted deep in his throat, finding the woman more than ready for him. Sliding his fingers free, he circled her small nipples, wetting them before suckling away the intoxicating taste of Lizzy.
"We're covered." she pointed to her table, showing him a depressed spermicide plunger. "I got that spermicide stuff." she held his eyes imploringly. "I did it while you were in the shower." she explained hastily. "I want this... with you."
Red felt his heartbeat quicken in anticipation. This had not been spontaneous. She had planned for it to happen.
Elizabeth wanted this just as much as he did.
"I have not done this since my ex-wife." he confessed. "Do you understand what it means to me, if we do... proceed?" he asked her seriously.
"Yes," she replied shyly. "You'll be sharing something with me, you don't anyone else."
"And what does that mean to you?" grasping his cock in his hand, he brushed the mushroomed crown along her damp curls hoping it wasn't to influence her decision in anyway.
"It's a commitment, to you." she answered quickly, moving up into his touch. "And you, to me."
"And you want that... with me?" he pushed along her swollen sex, groaning. His slit warm with pre-cum, massaging her clit further as their arousal mixed together.
"Do you want it with me?" She lifted hopeful eyes.
"Damn right I do." Red lowered his mouth, kissing the woman fiercely. "God knows I do."
Even though she was thrilled to share this with Red, she was nervous as hell. His large shaft stroked her, heightening her arousal, her body trembling with growing excitement.
They were really going to do this.
"Are you all right?" His deep voice full of concern and lust made her fingers shake.
"God, Red," Her hand trembled as she placed it on his shoulder, " I'm so nervous."
He smiled softly, gently nuzzling her nose. "You have done this before."
"Not... exactly," she winced. "...No."
Red slowed slightly, the confession giving him pause for thought. "You've never..."
"No," she dropped her eyes embarrassed slightly, a mild trepidation overtaking her. She hoped Red would not change his mind.
And they said dreams didn't come true.
The thought that he would be the first to intentionally ride her bareback and fill her with his cum, made his dick throb with anticipation.
"Are you sure you want this?" the question devastated the man, but it had to be asked. "There is no rush, Lizzy." he forced himself to say as much.
"I know... I know." she was quick to respond. "I'm nervous... excited." she admitted. "I want this, Red." she reassured. "I want to share this with you, and only you."
Red's heart hammered in his chest as he pushed at her wet core.
"If you change your mind..." he finished the statement in his head... I'll fucking die of a fucking heart attack right here on the fucking crisp white sheets.
"I won't," she promised shakily, urging him to nudge forward. She held her breath as his warm thick head pushed past her tight opening, popping through with effort.
"Oh, Red..." the woman moaned sweetly, heightening the man's pleasure two-fold.
"Fuck..." Red gasped, having forgotten how good this could feel. Especially as her downy thatch of hair rubbed along his length.
It was as if he had waited his whole life for this moment.
"Tell me we're good here." he pleaded softly, very much wishing to continue the journey he had begun.
Liz moaned breathlessly as she felt the exquisite stretch of his large bare crown breaching her. She clutched his arms, curling her fingers tightly into the bulging muscles.
"God, please answer me..." He growled through gritted teeth, pulling back, feeling the heavy drag as she clenched hard around him, trying to make him stay.
"Please don't stop." she whimpered softly. He pushed back against her hot, moist cradle in response.
She couldn't help but feel delighted by the man's reaction. Red had savored their lovemaking from the very beginning of their relationship.
But tonight was different. This time, she was just as concentrated as he. She had never felt anything so wonderful... so breathtaking.
She'd never felt anything like him before. His shaft was massaging her in ways she didn't think were possible. He was so thick, filling her, stretching her like no one else had. His heat... she hadn't realized how hot a man could be. He felt amazing.
He was also inside her body with no barriers what-so-ever between them.
"Oh... oh..." She tensed, her muscles locking around his shaft as an orgasm ripped through her unexpectedly.
Red snarled softly as Elizabeth trembled hard beneath him seconds before a hot gush of fluid surround his erection.
He held himself still, his chest moving in deep, irregular breaths. He meticulously watched his lover enjoy just a taste of what he was capable of giving her.
"I take it that was good for you?" he rasped.
She nodded jerkily, caressing his torso languidly.
He couldn't blame her for coming as fast as she did. From the minute he had pushed inside, she felt even more amazing then he had imagined. He was truly surprised he hadn't blown his own load as yet and he wasn't even half way inside her.
Bracing on his arms, he waited for her to relax before pushing in again, bumping her already sensitized clit. In response, her core rolled around him in a wave.
"God, Lizzy..." he slid in further, pushing at her tight walls, "I have never felt anything so wonderful in my entire life."
"Re..." she broke off, a deep throated moan over taking her. She had never come that quick from straight penetration and certainly not without her fingers helping. He was stroking her so expertly, she felt her arousal growing before she knew it.
He knew this was going to be memorable, but she was even more responsive than he dreamed she'd be. Her obvious enjoyment made his all the more potent, sending a warmth spreading through his body.
When he did come, it was going to feel fucking phenomenal. He had to admit, the male in him was rejoicing at the thought of coming freely inside her. He had missed the sensation and was anticipating a spectacular release.
Dipping his head, he tongued her nipple into a hard peak, his bare shaft sliding further inside the molten cavern.
"This is where I want to be." his voice deepened as he felt her spreading for him. "I have needed this from the moment I first laid eyes on you."
"You couldn't have known..." She broke off, gasping when he slid his entire length inside her. "Oh, God..." He was so thick. The ridges of his shaft dragged along her slick walls, making her pussy quiver in a fluttering wave.
"I knew," he murmured contentedly withdrawing slowly, placing his tongue over the her pulse point as he pushed back inside. "God knew." he was relatively sure. "Hell, I think everyone knew except you."
"Don't stop..." she moaned breathlessly. The sharp, hot breath brushed against his neck, delighting him.
Bending his leg, Red placed his thigh under her raised one, changing the angle to slip further inside the creamy warmth.
His mouth concentrated on her neck, shoulders and breasts; suckling, licking and nipping the glowing skin leisurely.
He groaned brokenly, slowly pumping his shaft inside her welcoming warmth.
"You're so hot, baby." He pushed at the tight walls grasping hold of him, pulling him in deeper. "So fucking tight..."
Their mouths clung languidly, their kisses both ardently passionate and amorously sensual.
Rubbing her smooth legs along his thighs, Red tilted Lizzy's hips, dragging his shaft along her swollen clit.
Drawing back, he braced a hand against the low headboard, increasing his tempo. He deliberately watched her sinewy body undulating back along his cock.
"You do realize I'm going to fuck you bare from here on out, yes." the man needed confirmation.
"Promise..." she gasped sharply, enjoying the slight dusting of hair which tapered down into his pubic area brushing along her flat stomach.
"Oh, I fucking promise," he snarled breathlessly. "I'm going to take full advantage of this every chance I get."
Lizzy's young perky breasts, erect with arousal, bounced slightly under his constant assault. He felt the low throaty groan seconds before he actually heard it as he watched her pinch and roll the dusky tips in order to ease the growing ache behind them.
Red ran his hand against the soft thatch of hair on her mound, laying the flat of his palm on her abdomen, covering her from mound to belly button. She was so tiny in comparison to him, so delicate.
Getting lost in her sweet cries of passion, he wrapped his hands about her waist. Drawing her against him, he focused on the sight of his heavy girth disappearing repeatedly into her wet hole.
He couldn't believe there was anything more captivating than the sensual wave of her body as he made love to her. But as his bare cock came into view, glistening with her arousal, a low growl of satisfaction rumbled deep in his throat.
Red's mouth lifted at the corner, watching as her brow furrowed critically, her mouth falling open as Liz released the sweetest cry of ecstasy he had ever heard.
She rolled her hips hypnotically into his in an effort to ease the building pressure inside her.
"That's good," he praised roughly, "fuck me with that tiny pussy." he panted shakily, watching her make love with him.
Gripping the man's ass, she pushed back against his long thrust, dragging the peak of her sex determinedly along his fat length.
"Help me..." her impassioned plea made his stomach flip wildly.
Hearing that sultry voice begging for more and feeling his own impending orgasm approaching , he dutifully doubled his efforts. Panting with the exertion, he got lost in the damp slide of their bodies moving together so rhythmically.
Liz had never felt anything so intimate before in her life. To know in mere moments he would come freely without restraint, filled her with excitement and a little uncertainty.
She had placed high expectations on this moment and hoped that it lived up to her dreams and imagination. Not to mention his.
So far, she was very pleased with their efforts.
"Let me hear you, honey." Reaching down, he circled her abused clit lovingly with his fingers, "Come on, sweetheart. Be a good girl and come for me..." he crooned silkily. "Come on my cock..."
"Ray..." She mewled, arching into him as the man gently pinched his fingers around her swollen flesh, giving her the jolt to slip over into the white hot release she so longed for.
That was the first time she'd said his name while he was balls deep inside her. For the first time in his life, he fucking loved his name. But only when she said it like that.
He'd never heard anyone say his name quite like that before. So passionate and filled with desire.
Her walls rippled around him, massaging his length, drawing tightly on his hard cock before shuddering with the power of her climax. Her knees tightened against his side, the slim legs shaking erratically as they gripped him.
Crying out, her body gave into his.
"I love watching you come," he praised her, feeling the indescribable tingling along his spine and throbbing in his shaft intensify, signifying he was nearing the end.
The sight of her readily accepting his thick spread, the push and pull of her rosy labia enfolding his bare erection in a warm lover's embrace... was incredibly and utterly satisfying.
As was the look of anticipated suspense on her glowing features.
"Are you sure, baby..." he panted, the longing in his voice apparent.
"Ray, please." She pleaded, tilting her pelvis up in invitation.
Correction, he forgot how good this felt.
He felt a frisson of pleasure and overwhelming anticipation that she truly wanted to share this deeply intimate moment, one she had never experienced before... with him.
Concentrating on the repetitive movement of his hips easing his shaft into her cushioned depths, Red slowed... caressing the soft thigh brushing his side in the steady rocking motion he had established.
"Let me feel you..." she pleaded.
His arousal spiked as the sharp sounds of Lizzy's enjoyment echoed about the room and her beautiful features lit in euphoria.
Her eyes fluttered open, gazing up at him. The look in her eyes... the desire to share this with him reflecting back... made him fully relax.
Bending his arms, Red brushed his lips against his lovers, their ragged breathy moans mingling as one. Her fingers curled into his side as his own worked through her thick mane of hair.
Their erratic breaths and tongues flicked sensually against each other. The natural give and take of his cock, pleasured her receptive flesh as they murmured ambiguous endearments aloud.
The sensation pushed the man over the edge as he gave into his body's dictates.
Keeping his eyes locked on hers, Red let go... emptying himself into the woman.
He shook with the intensity of the powerful release, both gasping and moaning fervently as his cock jerked powerfully, expelling his thick essence in her suddenly tightly coiled body.
"Oh God, oh God..." she drawled methodic phrases of ethereal emotions as his warmth hit her cervix, the experience literally mind blowing.
"Lizzy..." He breathed against her mouth as she clenched tightly around his cock, her little hand erotically scratching at his back. "God, baby..."
He had just come in Lizzy and the thought thrilled him no end. He could feel the hot proof backwash over his swollen cock head.
And it was the most intense experience of his life.
"Come here..." he whispered forcefully, bunching her hair in his fist. He palmed her tiny ass, pushing his cock head against her swollen cervix, pumping the remains of his hot load deep inside.
"Can you feel me, baby?" he growled against her neck as the thick cream flowed in massive quantities from his sensitive slit.
"...Yes." she moaned passionately. Her center flooded with his cum, leaving her feeling content and dreamy.
"Does it feel good?" he questioned roughly.
"More..." she lifted breathlessly, rocking her hips up to take what he had to give, "give me more."
Red gripped her thigh, keeping it upright. Rocking slowly, he eased their bodies through the last of their spasms as his erection softened.
Easing to his forearms, his chest pushed into her warm breasts, his hand finding hers.
Lacing his fingers with her smaller ones, he felt the band of her engagement ring... his ring... against his fingers.
Placing his mouth to hers, Red kissed the woman deeply, sensually, hoping he transmitted... how very much he loved her.
Reluctantly sliding free of the tight cavern, Red dropped his lips against her neck, nuzzling her silky flesh, bringing his breathing back under control before rolling from the bed.
Leaving her warmth left him cold.
Coming back a moment later with a warm cloth, he cleaned up his mess, mesmerized by his arousal pouring freely from her body. The sight of his thick white cream wetting the soft brown hair covering her swollen sex, made his dick stir to life yet again.
Blinking away his focus, he cleaned himself off.
"Lift, baby."
Blinking lethargically, Liz watched the man unfurl a soft towel and pull the sheets back. She felt her cheeks redden at the realization that there was a growing wet spot under her bottom.
Moving a little, Red laid the cloth on the soiled sheet before crawling back into bed.
He slid in behind Lizzy, pulling her into the cradle of his body.
The sated woman yawned sleepily, wiggling against him before settling down. She blinked hazy eyes, trying to stay awake.
"Sleep, Lizzy..." his roughened voice soothed. Kissing her shoulder and neckline, Red whispered quietly until her breathing slowed and she eased into a deep, restful sleep.
Pulling the blankets over them, Red allowed his body and mind to assimilate all that had passed between them.
Well, that was... unexpected. So unexpected, he couldn't quite grasp the fact that it actually happened.
But it had.
Not only was his body still thrumming with the vestiges of how wonderful the experience had been, leaving him incredibly sexually gratified... he had the evidence right here between them.
He could smell himself mixed in with her own intoxicating aroma, calming his heart.
He couldn't remember when he had felt so happy. Even the simple act of holding Lizzy's hand made him feel peaceful. And her kiss, Lizzy made a kiss feel brand new.
Which meant the sex itself was mind blowing. With all his experience and her naivete, they made quite the pair. But even with all his experience, only she could have made that feel... so damned fulfilling.
He wouldn't admit it to anyone, except Lizzy. But he had never experienced such a raw and powerful emotional connection with anyone... not even his ex-wife.
Lizzy made him experience so many wonderful emotions he hadn't felt in years. He honestly felt like his soul was at peace for the first time in his life.
But with that, came the other side.
Red felt a surge of pride that he tried desperately to suppress, but then he didn't.
No man could dispute his rights after what transpired tonight.
Talk about marking his territory...
The Alpha male inside rejoiced to have finally claimed the woman as his own... this one act gave him complete freedom to do what was needed to ensure nothing interrupted the status quo.
Lizzy was his...it was that simple.
Elizabeth mewled softly, cuddling closer to him before settling into the circumference of his arms.
Laying his chin against the soft waves of her hair, Red's hand naturally curved around her breast.
Red smiled tenderly down at her averted profile when, even in sleep, Lizzy leaned into his touch.
Shutting off the lights, he settled more comfortably into his pillow, his thumb absently brushing across a convenient nipple.
He could not wait to see what tomorrow brought where this woman was concerned.
She had pleased him as no other tonight.
She pleased him in so many different ways, and often surprised him just how inventive she could be.
He realized suddenly that his life with Elizabeth Keen was just beginning and he also knew... he couldn't wait to share it with her.
