Our Now and Forever(56)

The man could steer her around a crowded dance floor, but now he wanted to follow. This wasn’t how things had been between them. He’d always taken charge in the bedroom, and Snow didn’t see any reason to complain when he sent her soaring every time.

But then she realized what he was giving her. She was a woman in full control. She ran her own business. She’d built her own life in a new town. She was in charge, and Caleb understood what all of that meant to her. Now he was giving her the reins to control him.

The surge of power from that thought alone threatened to send her over the edge. She couldn’t stop the smile that curved her lips. “I want your mouth on my breasts,” she said, her voice weaker than she liked. With more authority she added, “But first, I want you naked in my bed.”

The admiring grin he flashed felt like a well-earned reward.

“Yes, ma’am,” he said, his lower-than-usual voice vibrating through her body. Cool air drew goose bumps along her flesh as Caleb crawled off the bed, never taking his eyes from hers. With slow, deliberate movements, he undid his jeans and slid them down his powerful thighs. Grasping the headboard for balance, he pulled them off, taking his socks with them. His full arousal was evident behind the black boxer briefs.

“Wait,” she said, before he could push the underwear over his hips. “Let me.” A tiny voice in Snow’s brain screamed, What are you doing? but she stayed the course, scooting to the edge of the bed. “Come closer,” she ordered, and Caleb did as asked without complaint.

She explored him first through the cotton material, fascinated by how easily she could make him moan. The sound was like a drug, and she wanted more. Much more. With a hand on each hip, she slid the waistband down to reveal the vee that made her mouth water. By the time the elastic reached mid-thigh, Caleb was trembling and a glance at his face revealed his struggle to hold on.

Once the briefs fell to his feet, Caleb shifted as if to join her on the bed. “Not yet,” Snow said, her hands on his hips.

In a strained voice, he said, “I thought you wanted me naked in your bed.”

Trailing a finger over the front of his thigh, she said, “I’ve changed my mind.”

She could have sworn she heard him say, “Oh, God,” as she took him in hand, but Snow was too focused on her target to be sure. He was hot and pulsing, and she realized she’d never done this with the lights on. Never explored him at her leisure. There was so much she’d been missing out on.

When she kissed the tip, his knees nearly buckled. “Snow, please.” It was Caleb’s turn to beg, and she decided he was probably right. This would be better with him lying down.

Scooting back, she dragged the covers down, and without a word he joined her. “Where were we?” he said, sliding a hand across her stomach.

“Where was I, you mean.” Snow pushed him back with one finger on his shoulder and then scooted down on the bed. “You don’t mind, do you?” she asked, glancing up from the middle of the mattress.

With a gleam in his eye, Caleb said, “I’ve created a monster, haven’t I?”

“Is that a bad thing?”

He shook his head. “Something tells me it’s a very good thing. I’m all yours, darling.” His hands slipped behind his head as a smug expression crossed his face.

Snow had a sudden urge to hear him beg once more.

She kissed the tip again, then trailed her tongue down to the base. Caleb’s gasp made her smile, but she didn’t hesitate in taking him completely. She didn’t need to see her husband’s face to know the smug look was gone.

His hands gripped her hair as she began to move. Hips rose as she set up a rhythm and his breathing grew jagged and thin. When she cupped his balls, a deep growl echoed around them and his hips drove up harder. Keeping her mouth on him, Snow undid the front clip on her bra and tossed the garment to her left, not caring where it landed.

The taste of heat and salt and man filled her senses. On her knees now, Snow dug her nails into Caleb’s tight ass and increased her intensity. She knew he was on the brink of snapping when Caleb pulled her up his body and said, “Now.”

He rolled her to the side and had her jeans and panties off within seconds. Part of her wanted to order him back to obedience, but the truth was, she couldn’t wait any longer either. When Caleb leapt off the bed, she yelped.

“Where—” she started to ask, but saw him pulling something from his bag. Now? Now was the time he had to get something out of his bag?

Caleb returned to the bed with several condoms, tossing all but one on the nightstand. Tearing the package open with his teeth, he cooperated without argument when Snow took over and slid the sheath into place.
