“Then when he comes home, you can talk to him about it.” She nods, and I squeeze her hand in reassurance. “Major keeps secrets for a living. There’s no one better at it than him, and it’s for a reason. If he didn’t tell you, he had good reasons. But he’s an honest and honorable man. So if you ask him, he’ll tell you what he can.”
“And what if I don’t like what I hear?” Her head dips, and it’s then that I hear the true worry in her voice.
“Sunshine,” I say, tipping her chin to look at me. “There is nothing that will ever shake his love for you. And nothing that will ever shake my love for you. So keep that in mind when those worries creep in. At the end of the day, your family is right here, and we’re not going anywhere.”
She smiles at me, and I can see her worry slip away. “Stop making sense, cupcake.” She pokes me in the ribs, and I grab her wrist.
“Careful. You don’t want to start something you can’t finish,” I warn, kissing her neck.
“Maybe I do,” she retorts, moving her hand down and placing it over the front of my jeans.
She runs her palm up and down my growing length, and I growl against her skin. “God, you’re like a drug.”
I pull her leg over so she’s straddling me as I undo my jeans and pull my cock out. She’s got on a cotton dress, so all I have to do is reach under and pull her panties to the side. I’m inside her in seconds, and I hold her to me as I let her tight pussy adjust.
I take her mouth in a deep kiss and then move down her neck. I yank down the top of the dress, exposing her breasts. Sucking a nipple into my mouth, I grip her hips with both hands and start to move her.
“Eli,” she moans as she leans her head back and rides me.
I can’t keep my hands off her or go more than a few minutes without wanting to be inside her. I’ve never been so needy before, but with Maggie, there is never enough. I always want more.
“God, you’re going to be raw if I keep taking you like this. I’m so sorry,” I moan as I thrust into her again. I should stop, but I’m a beast and can’t. I just keep taking her for my own pleasure, but I make myself feel better by giving her the same, too.
“Don’t stop,” she moans, and I feel her tremble.
She moves her hips in a steady rhythm as she bears down on me. She’s rubbing her clit and grinding so that she can get off on my cock. The sight and sounds have me drunk with lust, and I can’t hold back anymore.
“I’m coming!” she cries out, and I feel her climax on me.
I release into her and cling to her body, needing to be inside her as much as I can. I want to devour her, and any space between us makes me angry.
It’s either minutes or hours later, I can’t be sure, but when we finally open our eyes again, it’s dark out. I carry Maggie up to bed, and this time I don’t give in to my urges. Instead, I spoon behind her and we fall asleep with her in my arms.
It’s one of the best feelings in the world, knowing that I’ve got an eternity of this ahead of me.
Chapter 25
Maggie
“What are you doing, sunshine?”
I wiggle in closer, trying to dig myself into him as deep as possible. I hate when there’s any space between us.
“I missed you.”
He laughs, making my body shift on top of his.
“I only left the bed a few minutes ago. I wasn’t sure if you’d even know. You were sleeping like a rock.”
I sigh, letting myself melt into him. I know why he snuck out of bed and what he was up to. His plan had half worked. He’d done wonderful things to me all night until I’d finally passed out. Then he tried to sneak out. But my body is too attuned to him now. The moment I felt him slide out from around me, my eyes popped open.
I knew he didn’t want to be in my bed in case my dad came home early. I tried. I really tried to stay in my own bed, but I cracked after twenty minutes, and here I am, lying on top of him on the sofa.
“I missed you, too. I couldn’t sleep without you,” he says, kissing the top of my head.
“Me either.”
“I love you, sunshine.”
“Love you, too, cup—”
My words die as the light in the living room flips on, and my dad stands there staring at us. His eyebrows are raised in question, but he doesn’t look upset.
I push off Eli, who is trying to sit up at the same time. I almost fall on my ass trying to get off him as fast as I can. Eli catches me, but I waste no time getting on my feet and running toward my dad, launching myself at him.
A grunt leaves his body when I hit him. He takes a step back at my impact, but wraps me in his arms.
