Home For Christmas(7)

I stand up and take all of my clothes off, then finish taking off Holly’s clothes. I lie on top of her so we’re skin to skin and pull the blankets over us. I’m sweating from the adrenaline of finding her and bringing her home, but Holly is ice cold under me.

I lie there with her for a long time as her body slowly starts to warm up. The fire is roaring and I say silent prayers over and over that she’ll be okay. I stare into the face of the woman I’ve ached for and dreamed about for five years. There wasn’t a second of every day when I didn’t miss her or want to be with her. Now that I have her in my arms, I’m beggingher not to leave me.

I brush the hair out of her face and rub my thumb across her bottom lip. It was blue when I found her, but now it’s a soft shade of pink. For so many nights I thought about our one kiss. I’m an honorable man, but having her naked underneath me is driving me to point of insanity.

I’m unable to fight it any longer and I lean down, placing a soft kiss on her lips. They’re warm and tender to the touch, and though I want more, I shouldn’t. But just as I start to pull away, I feel her fingers trail up my back and her lips press against mine. This time it’s her that’s kissing me, and I don’t plan on stopping her.

Her mouth opens and I taste her sweetness as my tongue touches her. My memory of our kiss is nothing compared to the real thing. The day I kissed Holly was the single greatest day of my life, and kissing her again is like reliving that over and over.

Her body begins to move under mine and her legs open. I fall between them easily as my bare cock rests against her pussy. I should stop this kiss. I should get up and let her rest. But I’ve spent years without her, and I’m a selfish bastard. I want her, and not just right now, but for the rest of my life.

“Vance,” she whispers, and it’s all the confirmation I need.

Her wet center opens for me and I slide my cock between her lips. I push against the barrier of her opening and realize that she’s waited for me. She could have had a thousand men since I last saw her and I wouldn’t have cared. As long as she’s mine forever, that’s all that matters. But knowing that I’m the one who gets to have her first pushes me over the edge.

I’ve been ignoring my aching cock until now, but I can’t do it any longer. Now he’s demanding entry and I slide slowly inside her. Gently I move in and out as I take an inch more with every stroke. Her body helps me glide inside her tight pussy as I try to be as tender as I can.

Kissing her lips softly, I whisper how much I missed her and how happy I am we’re finally together. When I’m fully inside her body, I hold myself still, wanting to savor this moment, wanting to remember every detail of the first time we make love.

Her eyes flutter open and she stares at me. “Vance,” she whispers and reaches out to touch my face. She’s so gentle as she touches me, like I might not be real. “Make love to me.”

Slowly I begin to move again and I feel her body tighten under me. “I love you, Holly.”

Tears form in her eyes and I wipe them away. It’s painfully beautiful and I can’t stop what our bodies demand. I don’t want it to be over yet, but I make a promise to myself that from here on out we’re making up for lost time.

“I love you too, Vance.”

She kisses me and it’s more powerful than any we’ve shared before. I can feel it all the way to my soul and I never want it to end.

Her legs wrap around me and I adjust my thrusts so that each stroke is making her pussy tighten. Her back arches up and her thighs shake as she comes apart in my arms. I don’t hold back any longer and follow her over the edge into blissful paradise, filling her with all that I have.

My body tingles from head to toe as I hold her tightly to me. It’s the greatest moment I’ve ever experienced and I never want it to end. My heart warms at the thought that it doesn’t have to end now. From this moment forward, we have forever.

But before I can do or say anything more, the door bursts open. Hunter and Autumn are staring at us and beside them is a stranger in a doctor's coat.

“Get out!” I bark, and I feel Holly jerk under me.

“Vance?” Holly says, stunned and blinking her eyes. There’s a mixture of panic and shock on her face as she gasps. It’s like she’s just realized I’m here. And I’m inside her.

“Oh shit,” Hunter mumbles and pushes everyone out of the room. “Sorry, bro.”

“You’re alive?” Holly says it like an accusation. I go to open my mouth, but she slaps me hard across the face. “Where the hell have you been,” she demands, and her eyes are murderous.
