frogman."
He
thrust into her, long and hard. Her channel clenched around him, dragging him
deeper. Hands on her hips, he pumped in and out of her, smacking her buttocks
for the loud clapping sound she so loved.
"Damn
it, Tucker. Harder!" She rocked back, their combined motion forcing the
bed to rock on its legs.
When
he thought he was getting close, he slowed, bending over her back to cup her
breasts, tweaking the nipples.
"Holy
hell, Tuck, don't stop now."
"I
want you with me." His hand slipped down to her sex, parting the folds to
find the swollen little strip of her clit. He rubbed it, eased himself out,
coated his finger in their juices, and slammed back into her, then slathered
the moisture on the nubbin of her desire.
Her
breath caught, her body tensed and her fingers curled into the comforter. "Now.
I'm coming now." Her voice hitched as her body arched and her head tipped
back.
Tuck
gave her a moment to ride the first wave of her orgasm. Then he backed out of
her, scooted her up the bed, and climbed between her legs, sliding back in to
take her. He wanted to see the way her green eyes darkened as she came apart.
Smooth,
strong, athletic legs wrapped around Tuck's waist and Delaney dug her heels
into his ass, forcing him as deep as he could get. The pressure erupted in an
explosion of sensations that spread in waves outward from his cock to the tips
of his extremities. He stayed buried inside of her, his dick throbbing his
release. When he could draw in a new breath, he collapsed on the bed beside
her, rolling her over to face him, maintaining the connection.
As
they lay in each other's arms, Tuck stroked the swell of her breast, bringing
the nipple to a hard little peak. He wanted to say it. The "L" word
perched on the tip of his tongue. He bit down to keep from letting it slip out.
Passion was one thing. Love was entirely different. What was it he felt for
Delaney? He wasn't sure, but his own track record with that elusive emotion
hadn't given him much hope of finding it. Still...Delaney had come the closest.
"Del, you know how I feel about you, don't you?"
She
sighed, snuggling her face against his chest. "Umm. You think I'm hot in
bed, and that I'm a good helicopter pilot."
He
snorted softly. "More than that."
Her
eyes opened and stared up into his, a smile playing at her lips. "What
more does a woman want?"
"What
with Reaper asking you to marry him..."
After
a long pause, she said, "I'm not getting married anytime soon."
"And
I'm not a good candidate for the institution."
She
leaned up on her elbow and stared downward. "Tuck, you can't judge
yourself by your parents' lack of commitment."
"Yeah,
and what's your excuse for avoiding tying the knot with some poor schmuck?"
Her
eyes darkened. "I have my reasons."
Reasons
she hadn't wanted to share. A jab of anger pinched his chest and he stiffened.
He wanted to demand she tell him why she was against marriage. She knew his
rationale. Why didn't she trust him with hers?
"I'm
leaving tomorrow." Her hand smoothed across his chest. "Don't be mad
now."
Delaney
was right. He didn't want her to leave angry at him for pushing an issue that
shouldn't be an issue at all. They weren't committing to each other, so why
should he care if she didn't tell him her reasons for avoiding marriage? "Fair
enough. Just know this. Despite my feelings on long-term commitment, I care. I
don't want anything bad to happen to you."
"And
accepting Cory's proposal would be bad?"
Tuck
let out a sigh. "Reaper's a good man and he'd love you to his dying day.
But he's not the man for you." He stroked his finger along her arm,
letting it trail over the side of her breast. "You wouldn't be with me now
if you thought you had a chance to make things work with Reaper, would you?"
"No."
She dropped her gaze.
"Then
why string him along?"
"You
have a point. And you care." Her hand slipped down his chest to his cock. "Why
don’t you show me how much you care, big guy?"
"Before
I do,
