“Thank you.” Megan let out a breath of relief. “That could have gone poorly.”
“Not while I’m around.” He studied her eyes. “Was that your ex?”
She nodded. “I’ve never told you anything about him other than the fact that I was married. Bart was a part of my past I wanted to forget. Now I don’t care enough for it to matter.”
Ryan gently stroked the side of her face. “If he ever bothers you again, you let me know, okay?”
She smiled and nodded. “All right.”
The night ended beautifully and after the reception they returned to the exquisite hotel they were staying in.
When they reached their room, Megan slipped out of her dressy coat and dropped it over a chair. She went to the floor to ceiling windows, pulled aside the curtains, and opened the sliding door to go out onto the balcony.
Ryan came up behind her and put his hands at her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder and looked at the city lights spread out below them.
“It’s beautiful.” Megan breathed in the crisp night air and shivered. Snow was in the forecast for Albuquerque.
“Come in before you freeze,” he murmured and she felt his warm breath as he kissed her neck.
She let him take her hand and draw her back into the room. Cold air swirled into the warm room as he closed the door behind them. She went straight into his arms and felt the heat of his body that chased any chill away.
He nuzzled her neck then drew away. She tilted her head back and he brought his mouth to hers. It was both a sweet and a hungry kiss.
When he raised his head, he brushed her hair away from her face. “I’m going to say something I’ve been waiting to say for the longest time.”
Her breathing hitched as she looked up at him, her lips parted and wet from his kiss.
“I don’t know why I took so long to tell you this. God knows I’ve known this forever.” He cupped the side of her face and ran his thumb along her lower lip. “I love you, Megan. I love you more than I could ever have believed.”
Her heart beat faster as warmth traveled through her. She was so overwhelmed with emotion she almost couldn’t speak.
She flung her arms around his neck. “I love you, Ryan. I love you, love you, love you.”
He grinned, picked her up by her waist and swung her around. She squealed with surprise and laughter. She was unsteady on her feet when he set her down, but he didn’t let her go. He wrapped her tight in his arms and rocked her from side to side, causing her to laugh again.
“You do know I’m never letting you go, don’t you?” he said.
“Don’t worry,” she said as she smiled up at him. “I won’t let you.”
He pushed the strap of her dress aside and kissed her shoulder as he moved one hand to her zipper. She shivered as he slid it down to her waist. He stepped back just enough to help her slide the straps down her arms and fall to her feet in a shimmering purple mass.
When he saw her in her black corset, garters, stockings, and heels, he sucked in his breath. “Damn, that’s sexy,” he said and reached around to grab her ass cheeks through her silky black panties and pulled her up hard against him.
“I’m glad you like,” she said as she felt his rigid cock against her belly.
His blue eyes had darkened with passion. “I love.”
She ran her hands along his shoulders. “Take off your clothes.”
He shrugged out of the western suit jacket he’d worn for the wedding and tossed it onto a chair. He toed off his boots, stripped out of his dress shirt and belt, then pushed down his pants and boxer briefs.
When he was naked, he scooped up Megan and laid her on the bed. “I want you to wear all of this while I take you.” He ran one hand down her corset to her hip, over her garter and down her silky stockings and back up to the top of her corset again.
He pulled down the top of the corset and freed her breasts. She gasped and slid her fingers into his hair as he sucked on each of her nipples. He reached between them, pulled her panties aside, and placed his cock against her core.
With his eyes holding hers, he pushed inside of her. She moaned as he entered her. He moved in and out, slow and even.
He thrust harder as he looked into her eyes, her breasts bouncing with the movement. Their lovemaking grew even more intense as her hips rose up to meet his and she met his every stroke.
Megan’s orgasm built and built until she was almost to the peak. He thrust hard and deep.
“I love you, Megan,” he said and she fell over the cliff, her body shuddering with the impact of her orgasm. Her body throbbed and vibrated as his strokes continued.
“I love you, Ryan.” She saw his eyes darken even more. “I love you.”
