Grace's eyes rolled at that. "Yes. Please," she whimpered, pushing back. "I need you."
The tip of his cock brushed against her. "How do you need me?"
"Hard." The word slipped from her mouth before Grace even had the urge to say it, but it was the God's honest truth. She wanted him to fuck her, and fuck her hard. She wanted to feel him inside her for days so that she wouldn't feel so damned hollow when he left in the morning.
"That's my girl." He was inside her in one swift movement, dragging a groan from them both and lifting Grace almost to her tiptoes. He was perfect, filling her almost to the point of discomfort until he pulled his hips back and pushed in again. She mewed with each thrust and gasped his name as he panted in her ear. He was careful not to crowd her, not to hold her against the wall so that she'd panic, and she adored him all the more for it.
"Will you think about this?" he asked, slamming into her again, his hands lusciously tight on her hips. "While I'm away. Will you think about my cock in you?"
Grace loved the beautiful filth that tumbled from his mouth. She dropped her head back to his shoulder. "Yes."
"Will you miss it?"
I'll miss you.
"So much."
He moaned and moved his hands from her hips to her breasts, fighting with her vest top to get under her bra. He squeezed, his fingers pinching her skin. "You feel so good on my cock." His forehead met her shoulder, as though he was watching himself move in her. "Look at you taking me. You're so beautiful, Gracie. You fuck so good."
He mumbled and murmured words so dirty and unintentionally tender that Grace's eyes began to sting with the threat of tears. "Oh."
"Yeah?" Max asked, taking her desperate sound as a reason to tilt his hips and find that place inside of her that he knew would have her coming in moments.
"More," she begged, vaguely aware that her voice was getting louder. "Please, Max, more."
With a loud growl, Max slammed into her again and again, cursing and grunting and sweating against her. His fingers found her clit to rub and tease and get her there faster until, with a shout, he came, holding her so tightly to his chest that, when Grace's orgasm smashed into her not two seconds later and her legs weakened with its force, she didn't hit the floor. He held her to him, his breaths heavy and loud in her ear, as she squeezed him inside her, knowing that he would pull out quickly but wanting, no, needing him to stay inside her longer.
He made sure she was capable of holding herself up when he slowly pulled his body from hers. She took a second to rest her forehead against the wall and laughed, watching him over her shoulder. She'd never felt more energized despite the fatigue that clutched her muscles. Max smiled back, discarding the condom with a tissue he pulled from his pocket in a nearby trash can, and zipped himself up. He drifted closer to her, his palm smoothing across her ass at the same time a sated and sensual growl rumbled in his chest.
"Look at you," he murmured. "So sexy. I love that I'm the only one who gets to see you like this."
Grace couldn't be sure if the hint of covetousness in his voice was real or of her own imagination. His dark gaze settled on hers before he leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss at the corner of her mouth. It was the closest he'd ever been to kissing her properly and Grace's breath caught.
"You okay?" he asked, pulling back and helping her turn around while she fixed her skirt.
She smiled and nodded, watching as he bent down and picked her panties up from the floor. He held them up, looking at them with a hint of dark playfulness.
"What?"
"I'm a little torn," he confessed. "I want nothing more than to put these in my pocket and take them with me, so I can touch them while I'm away from you." Grace gaped. "But the idea of you being pantyless while you're working with Deputy AssCrack sitting at the bar makes me want to rip his eyeballs out of their sockets."
He handed them over with a small smile edged with embarrassment. Whether it was because of what he'd just admitted wasn't clear, but Grace couldn't have cared less. His words made her feel nothing but blissful and altogether shameless. Take her panties with him? Christ, the man knew exactly what to say to make her insanely hot.
It was such a strange paradox. Rick had, during their marriage, been a controlling, possessive asshole who continually told Grace that she belonged to him, that she was his to treat as he wanted. It had been awful, degrading, and had caused Grace to feel worthless. But when Max allowed his possessiveness to slip out, as he had each time they'd been intimate, it created a smolder within Grace, a deep heat that settled in her bones and made her want to take him to bed and help him see that he could love again if he just let her in.
