: Chapter 40
A million memories from the previous last night flooded back as the rising sun peeked through the curtains. I woke up with a smile and the inability to move.
If it was not for the feeling of Stone’s large arm resting on my stomach, then I would have thought it was a dream. It was out of this world. Earth shattering. I had never felt so seen nor so loved before.
Because I still believed it was a beautiful dream, I lifted the bedsheets and glanced underneath.
It was real and nothing could be better. Nothing. Out of this world was an understatement to describe what he made me feel. I could not articulate how amazing it felt waking up in his arms.
My bare body was firmly held by the pair of hands as I woke up on top of him. My chest rested against his and my feet were bundled between his knees.
Stone was awake when I looked up from my position on his torso. He was smiling down at me as he ran a hand through my hair.
‘Morning Lurch.’ I spoke.
The sexy husky morning voice replied, ‘Morning Medusa.’
I turned so I was fully lying on my front on him. I probably flashed him for a second in the process, but I wanted to see him better.
The sun that bounced off the green walls illuminated his sharp defined features and his god-like form. The sight looked like something that should be capture led and hung in an art museum. It was the best thing to wake up to.
We could not stop smiling at each other. We were still giddy and glowing from the night before.
He kissed my forehead as he asked, ‘How are you feeling, baby?’
‘Like I have been impaled.’ I said in a humorous tone even though I was being deadly serious ‘Never mind Vlad. It should be Valentine the Impaler.’
Stone grew frantic. He pulled up the covers and started scanning my body to make sure that I was fine.
‘Relax. I am okay.’ I giggled as I pressed down on his chest
He let out a sigh of relief as he rested back on his pillow and tightened his grip on my hips.
‘But seriously though,’ I began to say as I stuck my head under the covers which muffled the next part of my sentence ‘I think that while you were surfing your reproductive part got replaced with the kraken.’
The giant moved his muscled arm to cover his face as he laughed. He laughed and laughed. It was for a good minute that I felt the tough vibrations underneath me.
I wished that I was exaggerating.
If the Knights of Camelot ever came looking for Excalibur, then I would point them in the direction of the giant who had it in his pants.
I swatted his chest ‘That is a reasonable explanation. It is the only that explains how it is so gigan—’
His hand cupped my face as he kissed me.
He pulled back with a small smile ‘You are wild.’
‘I don’t understand why you are laughing.’ I pointed a finger at him ‘It will be your fault when you have to carry me everywhere for a month.’
Stone smirked.
My face moved into his chest as I spoke after my relaxation ‘You would like that, wouldn’t you?’
‘Immensely.’ He grumbled into my hair as he left a kiss there.
He pulled back while removing some hair from my face. It must look like a bird’s nest. I could not count the number of times he had combed through it with his fingers during the night.
‘What are you thinking, Medusa?’ His tone teasing yet inquisitive.
My eyes closed because I was still sleepy, but my large smile was still intact as I replied to him ‘I am thinking that you have ruined me for all men.’
A growl emerged from him.
I opened my eyes in time to see him manoeuvre myself and him so that he was on top of me. His face was serious as he wound his arms around me tighter, caging me in.
‘It is funny that you think I would let you go and meet other guys. Let alone let you leave this bed.’ He gnarled, his words a dark promise ‘I have no intention of letting you go.’
I considered standing up to defy him but there would be no point. He knew as well as I that I did not want to leave our little sanctuary. He knew that nobody else could compare to him.
Stone was it for me.
My head fell back onto his chest as he went back to cuddling with me on the mattress. I snuggled into him as I became completely content with the fact that I solely belonged to him.
‘That actually sounds kind of perfect.’ I admitted before saying ‘We could be the Boo Radleys of Santa Monica.’
He seemed to have lightened up as his chest moved in a chuckle ‘I like your To Kill A Mockingbird reference.’
I let out a yawn as I started to trace his tattoos ‘Thanks, Lurch.’
‘You are fucking hot when you nerd out on me with that big brain of yours’ He rasped out.
‘You must be invariably tempted by me then.’ I replied with a laugh.
A nod then three words from the gravelly voice ‘That is true.’
With a lone finger, I reached out and traced the lines of the tattoo on the right side of his torso. Then my hand wanders up and stroked the tattoo on his hand that was touching my shoulder. I ran my hand over the fine details of the skull covering his knuckles.
Once I was satisfied that I had touched every inch of ink on his body, I went higher and explored his mouth. The side of his lip was curled in a smile as I touched it. I had never seen him so happy, and I was revelling in it.
The scariest thing about him was how badly his smile made my stomach flutter.
‘You know what I just noticed?’ He asked, his tone sounding amused.
‘What?’
He teased ‘You said Stone more times last night than the past few weeks.’
His innuendo made me pull back and made me try and give him my best death glare. It failed because he just chuckled at me.
All that time spent with the intimidating giant, and I had still not perfected a better glare.
‘If you get evicted from this place for noise complaints then you can always come and live at mine.’ He taunted.
The blush on my face darkened.
I took a few deep breaths and resisted the urge to suffocate him with a pillow.
He really knew how to push my buttons like no other.
‘You are not exactly innocent either.’ I calmly pointed out, referencing his growling and gnarling.
Stone left a kiss on my shoulder before he uttered ‘I am going to have to buy us a house in the middle of nowhere.’
‘Why would you need to do that?’
His kisses trailed to my neck as he grumbled ‘I do not want anyone else to hear you.’
I rolled my eyes and bit down my laugh.
Valentine Stone was a little possessive and a little bit of a smartass. It was a good thing that I loved him.
‘Medusa.’ He said before asking ‘Are you trying to shove me out of the bed?’
‘No.’ I lied as I tried my very hardest to get him to fall off the mattress.
Nodding, he sent me a smirk ‘Good because it just feels like you are ticking me.’
‘We can’t all be immovable skyscrapers.’ I countered back as I gave up my attempt to push the big boulder off my bed.
He tilted his head, and it seemed like something had crossed his mind.
‘Are you okay?’ I asked as I left a kiss where I was resting which was on his stomach.
‘Of course, I am, Medusa. I have never been better.’ He answered before he told me what was on his mind ‘You were surprised that I loved you.’
I faced him and I told him the truth ‘I did not think it was possible for someone to love me.’
Stone scowled as he held my face once again his hand ‘Why would you think that?’
‘I guess it stemmed from my parents.’ I voiced ‘My mom left, and my dad did too.’
‘Ella, that was not your fault.’ He let out roughly and it left no room for argument.
‘Thank you.’ I said to him as I went back to resting my face on his freakishly comfortable rock-hard abs.
‘That kid Charlie picked up on it faster than you.’ He chuckled.
‘He did?’ I asked sheepishly.
The giant nodded and it almost appeared like he was embarrassed because he did not look down at me while talking.
‘I asked him how to win you over. He said that you loved green, and I should give you something that colour.’ His deep voice informed me ‘I already had the paint bought before then, but I was waiting for a time when you were out of the house to do it.’
I smiled into his chest ‘I can’t believe you got romance advice from a five-year-old. I am never going to let you live that down.’
His fingers caressed my face as he let out a husky laugh ‘I know you will not, but I was pretty desperate at that point.’
The gleeful and once teasing expression from my face dropped at the need for him to know the truth ‘I thought that you saw me as some sort of challenge, and you were trying to rattle me. I thought you were trying to throw me off guard by making me fall helplessly for you and then you would laugh in my face.’
He wrapped his arms around me tightly while he stated ‘I do challenge you. I will always challenge you. Just as you do me.’
I smiled up at him and he smiled back.
Then Stone grumbled ‘Make no mistake. I am keeping you forever.’
‘Good.’ I said ‘Keep challenging me. I am still going to aim to beat you at everything. I hope you know that. English test scores, bickering, nerd offs. All of it, I am going to win.’
‘We will see about that.’ He rasped as he moved closer.
My body reacted in anticipation, but I remembered my current state. My very naked state. He was moving closer, and I just wanted to hide under the bed.
I lifted the covers and hid my whole self under there.
A deep chuckle came from outside the bedsheets ‘Don’t get shy on me now, Drizella.’
I popped my head out before I pulled the whole sheets away with a laugh.
‘I was right. You must be some sort of other creature.’ He said in a wondrous tone as he scanned my body ‘Nothing could ever compare. You are otherworldly beautiful.’
Weirdly enough as he gazed down at me, I felt beautiful.
My hands went to his back as I pulled him down in me as I voiced ‘You are not so bad yourself.’
‘Is that so?’ He smirked.
I teased against his mouth ‘A lot better with the lights off.’
‘My little liar.’ Stone hoarsely let out as he gripped my hips and moved on top of me.
The bedsheets rose with him on top and I saw everything of him once again. It was only further evidence that I was the biggest liar on the planet. The hugest.
He slanted his mouth and his lips descended over mine. At the warmth of his tongue enmeshing with mine, my eyes closed. A husky groan came from his chest as I twined my arms around his neck.
Just like the previous night, it was a good thing that the bed was beneath me as I was sure my legs would have given way. I doubted they were working properly. I do not think any part of me was working properly.
We were so familiar with one another, yet every kiss was filled with exhilaration and eagerness for each other like it was the very first time.
‘I love you.’ I whimpered into his mouth between a break that allowed me to catch my breath.
Stone replied instantaneously like his words had been bottled up and he was desperate to let them out ‘I love you. So, fucking much that I think it would terrify others to know what I would do to make you happy.’
‘You do not need to do anything. You make me happy.’ I assured him gently while staring into his eyes.
A few minutes passed with the two of us in the same position before I kissed his jaw again.
‘You could make me a hot chocolate to make me extra happy.’ I said as I left a quick peck on his mouth.
He let out a laugh before he looked past where I lay and apologised ‘I am sorry about your bed.’
I shrugged, glancing at the mess behind me and the general mess of the room ‘Headboards are overrated.’
Stone grinned at my remark and in response started to kiss my collarbone. He pulled back and let out a low groan ‘You taste heavenly.’
‘It is my apple scented body wash.’ I revealed and that reminded me that I had to force myself out of bed and away from him ‘Speaking of body wash, I need a shower.’
I untangled myself from him with much unwillingness on his part. Sitting up on the bed, I notice that all my clothes and his were scattered on the other side of my room. Some of them had made their way into the hall.
My clothes had been ripped to shreds so I grabbed the nearest material of his and slipped it on.
The giant’s t-shirt was far too big on me. It was more like a dress as it reached my knees.
He watched my hobbled movements with desire and a look of longing as I crossed the room and grabbed a new pair of panties from my chest of drawers.
There was an incessant throb between my legs that reminded me exactly how huge Stone was everywhere.
I leaned against the doorframe and crossed my arms as he sat up on the bed and stretched. The movement made his muscles stick out even more and his veins bulge out.
Stone met my eyes with a question present in his eye. I was starting to think that I was a Stone-expert because I knew what he was asking.
‘Come along then.’ I said and tried my hardest to keep my voice void of over excitement.
Standing up ever so slowly, he mentioned in a thick voice ‘Saving water is good for the planet.’
‘What a saint, you are.’ I uttered while biting my lip to stop myself from smiling.
‘There is nothing saint-like about what I am about to do to you.’ Stone affirmed, his deep voice a warning.
Then in two steps, he had caught up to me and he had thrown me over his shoulder. I was shouting and laughing while everything was upside down as he carried me to the bathroom.
I poked his back as I told him ‘You are still making me hot chocolate after our shower.’
‘If I do then will I officially be out of the acquenemy zone?’ He asked from above.
‘Add whipped cream and I will definitely think about it.’ I replied like there was ever such a thing as an acquenemy zone.
He took long strides of determination before he opened the door to the bathroom.
‘Are you not hungry?’ I asked as I felt my stomach start to grumble.
‘Starving.’ He assured me.
‘Well then should we not head to the kitchen?’ I asked in a taunting tone.
‘I want apples.’ Stone spoke, his gravelly voice deepening as he slammed the door behind us.
My bare feet turned cold as he set me down once, we entered the bathroom.
The bright light of the room was blinding. I squinted my eyes slightly as I ignored the hungry gaze that came from the man pressed behind me.
I let my head fall back so that I could look up at him when I complained with a pout ‘I need a shower.’
He leaned down and kissed my mouth once before grumbling ‘I need you.’
I needed him too, but I was a little apprehensive in this lighting. The times he touched me before was always in a darker setting with a dimmer light.
The fluorescence of the bathroom would hide nothing away from him.
Swivelling around on my heel, I wrapped my arms around the huge body as far as I could manage and stuck my face into his stomach to hide my blushed face.
‘Medusa.’ The deep voice uttered against my hair ‘What is wrong?’
‘I am shy.’ I mumbled, his hard chest muffling my reply.
His large palms ventured up and cupped my face. He gently tilted my head upwards so that I was looking at him and no longer hiding.
‘You are perfect.’ He delivered as if it was a commandment rather than a compliment.
I rolled my eyes, but I felt the side of my lip turn up.
‘You are a little goddess.’ He gruffly expressed while rubbing his thumbs over my cheek freckles ‘Now I am going to worship you.’
The veiny hands let go of my face slowly before grabbing the material of his shirt that was covering my body. I lifted my arms up and allowed him to throw away the shirt.
He leaned down and gave both my nipples a quick peck. The buds hardened instantly at the brief contact and my breasts suddenly felt heavy on my chest.
My legs already felt like jelly. The two limbs grew suddenly weaker when he left a soft kiss on my nose.
Stone fell to his knees in front of me.
The huge height of him and the smallness of me meant that kneeling down, he was almost at eye-level with my face.
His tight grip went to my hips as he pulled me forward and closer to him. He hooked his thumb into the top of my panties.
I stilled and waited but he did not remove them. Not yet anyway.
I peered down at where he kneeled and watched as he pressed his forehead to my stomach. Silently, I weaved my fingers through his black hair and held him close.
We remained like that for a small eternity. We were so entrapped in each other and in our own little bubble that it felt like a blissful dream.
Stone took deep breaths against my skin. He placed his lips below my bellybutton and lingered there as he slowly started to drag my thong down my legs.
The whole of my body felt weak and immobile. The whole of me felt lenient on him.
He tapped my right ankle and I managed to lift my shaky leg. He then done the same with my left leg until my black thong was a discarded piece of fabric.
Suddenly his face was buried in between my legs and my whole body jolted at the sudden warmth of his tongue.
‘Ohhhh!’ I let out as my head fell back and my grip on his hair tightened.
One long and wicked lick of his tongue had me screaming.
He clutched my hips which caused me to jerk wildly.
The hotness of his tongue circled my hypersensitive nub and I felt like I was going to collapse. He was the only thing holding me up as he circled the bundle of nerves.
Ever so slowly he moved his tongue downwards and then with one precise movement he was delving deep into my bare core.
I could not see straight from the sheer pleasure.
There was not one single part of me that he was not exploring.
Stone increased the pressure of his tongue on my heat. He dug his fingers into my hips to control my movements as I tried grinding into his mouth.
I did not know if I was going to survive. I was being tuned into a melting puddle of a mess. It was not going to be long until I fell apart.
The surging pressure crashed down into my groin, making my mouth part and having me hold my breath.
My heart lodged in my throat and so did my scream.
He devoured as if it was his last meal on earth.
‘You taste unearthly.’ He roughly released from his throat, momentarily delaying his consuming of all of me ‘I could taste only you for the rest of my life and I would never get enough.’
Long rushed breaths left my mouth as my head fell back further.
‘Please.’ I begged and it came out as a whine ‘Please.’
‘Someone is needy this morning.’ He chuckled against my wet core before leaving a small kiss on the sensitive bud and then continuing his attack “Pull me in tight. Show me how badly you want my tongue.’
Tears were rolling down my face as I combed my hands through his hair and gripped on tightly.
One of his large hands fell from my hips. I whimpered at the loss of heat that came with his touch on my body.
Suddenly two fingers plunged into me, and I was sent into orbit.
I mewled and whimpered his name. The whimpers turning to moans as I pleaded with him.
He stretched my opening with his fingers. He continued his powerful even strokes of his tongue against my bare lips while circling and thrusting his thick fingers inside of me.
It was a torturous pleasure that I could live in forever. However, I could not endure it due to the increasing pressure weighing down on me and demanding release.
I screamed his name desperately.
With a few more measured strokes of his fingers and his tongue, I had found enlightenment. It felt I had been hurled off a cliff and I was free-falling into bliss.
If he was not holding me then I would most likely collapse.
He lapped and sucked. His movements grew slow and steady which helped me lower my dangerously high heart rate.
His tongue travelled up the middle of my stomach then higher between my breasts as he rose to his feet. He continued to trail up my neck and he skimmed my chin before pulling back to look at me.
Stone’s obsidian gaze fell onto my face before he buried his face into the crook of my neck and nuzzled while whispering ‘God, I have missed you.’
‘How have you missed me? I haven’t been anywhere?’ I rebutted confusedly but I wrapped my arms around him anyway.
‘You have been sleeping.’
I pulled away from him and laughed ‘We have only had two hours sleep, you weirdo!’
He let out a grumble at the loss of contact that came with me pulling away. Then as the proactive demanding man that he was, he grabbed my hips and nudged me towards him.
I moved into his warm embrace more than willingly. I rested my chin against his firm stomach while I looked up at him.
I was so in love with Valentine Stone.
Leaving a kiss on one of his eight abs, I then peered up and delivered ‘I really do need to shower.’
‘I really do need to fuck you in the shower.’ The gruff low-octaved voice delivered.
The heat covering my reddened face had shot down to my core and once again I was shaking with excitement.
My lip twitched upwards, and I kept eye contact with the giant as I slipped my hand down past the waistband of his boxers. I never took my attention away from his face as I let my hand curl around his erection.
I frowned unhappily when I could not wrap my hand around the largeness of him. His ridiculously mammoth-sized monster was definitely a two-hand job.
Stone took the opportunity to lower his forehead onto mine, blessing me with a closer look at his content smile.
Giving up with trying to wrap my hand around him, I decided to stroke one lone finger along a bulging vein on the underside of his shaft.
‘I love this.’ I whispered to him while rubbing my finger back and forward and feeling him twitch under the contact.
He let out a husky and hoarse laugh when informing me ‘It is all yours, baby.’
I showed my approval at his words by smiling up at him and by running my finger along the tip of his thick lengthy arousal.
‘I really love this.’ I expressed but then I looked away from him when I added ‘I don’t think I will ever stop being a little intimidated by it though.’
Stone groaned in appreciation, the noise completely primal and full of hunger.
He swooped down and claimed my lips. He ravaged my mouth possessively and viciously which forced me to realise my grip on his hard length.
His hands were on my hips when he picked me up. He was desperate and commanding with his movements as he carried me towards the shower.
We were in a frenzied rush. Our love and lust for one another challenged time as we became a hurried mess to be under the hot water of the shower head.
Simmering steam surrounded the space. The condensation smoked up and clouded the glass door to the shower. The white tiles of the shower wall were wet and hot.
I was unsure what was making the bathroom hotter. The water spurting from above us or the smouldering darkened gaze of the man about to ravish me.
I was yanked closer to his chest, and I felt the full powerful impact of the blow of his hardness pushing into my groin.
The urgent need to have him inside me had me breaking our kiss and tugging at his boxers to get them down his long muscular legs.
He released one hand from my waist to assist the riddance of his boxers. Seconds later and his massive bulky erection was pointing straight at me.
I needed him.
The twitching and the moisture beading on the tip of the impressive length suggested that Stone was very much in need of me.
His clutch returned to my hips, and he pulled me back towards his heaving hard chest.
Warm air tickled my neck as he sucked at the soft skin of my throat.
‘Wrap your legs around my waist.’ He growled while lifting my body again as if it was a mere feather.
I complied without a thought. I wrapped my legs around his waiting body as he lifted me into the air.
A loud needy cry escaped my mouth when his arousal slipped over my swollen entrance.
I gasped so loud that it drowned out the sound of the running water.
He crashed his lips against mine, moaning as our tongues performed a ceremonial ferocious dance in one another’s mouths.
My hands ran down from his hair to his stubble and then to his hard chest.
One of his hands was busy with my left nipple while the other arm had wrapped around my waist and pinned me to the tiled wall.
Hot water rained down our bodies as he worshipped my mouth with his tongue and my breast with his calloused hands.
‘I have got you.’ He rasped out the promise as he pulled back from my swollen mouth ‘I have always got you.’
I nodded while looking into his eyes ‘I know.’
I was burning all over. Every inch of me was scorching and it had nothing to do with the hot water pouring over us.
I moved my hands around to grip his back when I felt him rear back. I felt my toes curl as I watched him get ready to enter me.
‘Spread your legs for me.’ He ordered gently with a tender look in his eyes ‘Let me see you, beautiful girl.’
My thighs relaxed but I had to stretch wide further to accommodate the size of my giant.
Bringing his hand down from my breast, he guided himself to my entrance and looked straight into my eyes as the head of his erection probed at me.
I shivered and my back rolled against the wall.
‘I think we are more than acquenemies.’ I managed to whisper though a moan.
He grumbled, his chest moving closer to mine.
Smiling at him, I told him tauntingly ‘We are getting a little friendly.’
And on a sharp shift of his hips, he thrusted upwards. He filled me to the absolute hilt while slamming his hand back onto the wall beside my head with a roar.
I screamed in delight.
‘Does that feel good, Drizella?’ He forced out throatily between powerful relentless thrusts that pushed me further up the tiled wall ‘Is there anything friendly about the way I am giving you my cock?’
I clawed at him to try and get some grip but the water running down his back made it impossible to hold onto him.
I rocked my hips up to meet his every thrust and he lowered his mouth to mine. He attacked my lips barbarically, matching his relentless rapid hip rhythm with his tongue.
He murmured my name again and again against my mouth as if it was mantra. As if he was pleading with a divine spirit.
‘You are mine.’ He growled between his ravenous kisses ‘Always have been and you always will be.’
Panting like crazy, I threw my head back and let the moans fall from my mouth like a waterfall.
Stone was pushing me further towards absolute ecstasy.
His lips moved from my mouth to my exposed throat. The hot water pouring down allowed him to skim and slide over my heated skin.
Feeling him move inside me had me screaming for more. Feeling the large man tremble with lust had me digging my nails into his shoulder to motion for him to go harder.
Emotions were attacking me left right and centre.
I did not know if I wanted to cry because of the mix of pleasure and pain or because my heart might burst with love.
He moaned into my mouth as I moved my hands up to his face and cupped his stubbled jaw.
‘You were made for me.’ He released in a series of grunts and groans ‘This is your soul finding its other half. This is me taking what belongs to me. This is your pussy finding the only man who is destined to touch it.’
‘It is yours.’ I gasped while shifting my hips towards him ‘Do whatever you want with it.’
‘You are all mine now, my Medusa.’ He delivered gruffly and gutturally ‘If anyone besides me sees you like this or even thinks about you like this then I will rip their fucking throat out.’
‘I know.’ I moaned while meeting his pair of dark eyes ‘It’s so hot.’
I wanted to soak up the passion radiating from every inch of his body and revel in it.
As his hunger grew, his thrusts turned hard, fast and merciless.
I locked my thighs around his waist tighter and I tried to keep my muscles strong even though they wanted to collapse and allow my body to become dependent on his.
I was jerking up and down the wall to the rhythm of Stone’s dick. I did not need to hold on because his brutal thrusts kept me up and his hands were holding me tightly.
He was owning my body. He was taking it like he had waited his whole life for a chance to take me.
The giant shuddered and began grumbling incoherent words against my lips. Whatever he was uttering sounded possessive and territorial in tone.
Continuing with his voracious and vicious tempo, he nibbled at lip before groaning against my mouth ‘You feel so fucking perfect.’
I was dying from the pleasure.
Stone’s head tilted back slightly as he pulled in and out of me once again ‘Fucking hell.’
My whole body was shaking uncontrollably due to the tortuous pleasure. It was all too much yet I never wanted it to stop.
‘Valentine.’ I used his name in a way to plead ‘Please.’
His eyes met mine. The obsidian had darkened so much that I could see my reflection in his irises perfectly. The pupils of his eye had dilated significantly.
He growled deep in his throat while increasing his thrusts to an even more determined and purposeful pace.
It was such an unforgiving cursory pace that before I had never thought was possible.
I felt myself moulding to him as flesh hit flesh.
He was going to rip in me in half. He was going to wreck and ruin me and I was going to let him.
I tightened my thighs to the point of pain but that only increased the friction and thankfully also my pleasure.
I was thrown over the threshold and I erupted around him on a scream.
My eyes fluttered while I cried in happiness. I let them close while I entered cloud nine and then flew past the seventh heaven.
‘Eyes open.’ The deep guttural voice barked in demand, slamming into me at every word he spoke ‘Look at me.’
I was shaking so badly that the kinetic energy could probably power a house or perhaps burn down a skyscraper.
I felt myself milk him to within an inch of his life
A claiming roar left his throat as he moved one last time and held himself deep inside of me. He bellowed my name as his large burly body jerked against mine and as the warm sensation of his release filled me to the brim.
I dropped my forehead against his chest. I was panting loudly, and my heartbeat was triple what it should have been.
He held me in place against his chest with one arm. His free forearm rested against the wall of the shower while his face buried in my neck.
Stone was breathless yet he did not look tired.
The shower was pouring down on us, but I could still hear our uneven breaths over the pounding water.
I sighed in content.
My mind had turned to mush, and I knew that if he set me down on the floor, I would fall and then not be able to get back up for a month or two.
Stone turned so that his back was against the tiles. He slid down the wall, taking me with him so that I was straddling his lap on the shower floor.
I kept my face hidden in his shoulder as I tried to calm down my body. It was near enough impossible though because he was still lodged inside of me, and he was pulsating once again.
I never thought it was possible to feel so close to someone.
I was totally and utterly wrecked.
After staring at his medusa tattoo for a good few minutes and leaving a kiss on his shoulder, I pulled back to look at him.
He cupped my face with one of his large rough palms. He removed the wet green hair stuck to my face so that he could see me better.
‘I love you, Ella.’ He grumbled out as softly as he could as he stroked my wet back with his free hand.
‘I love you too.’ I said back with a smile before I leaned closer and upwards to kiss his jaw.
To distract myself from the sensation of him growing inside of me and stretching me out to unmeasurable lengths once again, I peered around the shower. I studied the mark on the wall where my body had been handled.
Finally, I drew my attention to where part of his erection had disappeared inside of me. Part being only half of him, yet it was enough to impale me.
‘That was…’ I trailed off breathily because I was unable to describe what had just happened.
Stone hummed in agreement.
I stared into his eyes, and he stared into mine. I let him see my happiness and he let me see his.
All of this was getting too lovey-dovey for my liking, so I decided to poke at the dragon. It would not be us if I did not tease the large man.
‘We are pretty good together.’ I giggled while allowing my finger to run down his chest ‘It is a real pity that this is just a one-night stand.’
Half a second later and he had pounced. My back was on the shower floor, and I was looking up at the pair of dark eyes looming over me
‘Drizella.’ He growled, nudging my entrance once again with his hardness while his hands dragged down across my breasts ‘I already claimed you as mine. There is no going back.’
I felt my lips pucker slightly as I questioned haughtily ‘And when did you do this claiming?’
I was taunting him so he would show me once again who I belonged to.
He leaned down, left a kiss on my nose and then pulled back so he could watch my reaction as he entered me again ‘Since the second your eyes met mine.’
The hot water continued to run down our bodies as Stone began bearing down on me savagely and brutally.
