“Are you ready to commit yourself to me?” Malachi asked.
“I’m more than ready to make love with you.”
“That isn’t what I asked.”
“Malachi.” Lara stepped closer to where the two of them stood just inside the bedroom in her apartment. “You’re here, I’m here. Isn’t that enough?”
“For most men, probably.”
She sighed. “But we’ve already agreed you aren’t like most men.”
“I’m in love with you, Lara. I want to marry you. Want to spend the rest of my life with you.” Malachi knew he meant those words with every fiber of his being. Lara was it for him. Always would be.
“Obviously I care about you too, or yesterday wouldn’t have happened.” There was a blush on her cheeks. “Can’t we just… I don’t know. Do we have to make promises to each other so soon after meeting?”
Malachi’s jaw tightened. “I told you I wouldn’t make love to you until I was sure you weren’t going to change your mind and leave me.”
She lifted her hand and slowly ran a finger down his jaw. “I’m sure you would follow me and bring me back if I attempted to do that.”
“Yes.” He didn’t attempt to deny it. “But not before you’ve broken my heart.”
Her expression softened. “I’m not going to leave you, Malachi. I care about you too much to do that.”
Was it enough, for now, to know that Lara cared about him? It went against what he’d said yesterday but he knew there was no way he was leaving Lara tonight, just as he also knew that if he stayed, he wouldn’t be able to resist making love with her.
“Okay.” He made his decision.
“Don’t sound so enthusiastic,” she teased dryly.
“Because this is only happening on the understanding I will hunt you down if you ever try to walk away from me.”
“Okay.”
“Do you want me to wear a condom?” He frowned. “I haven’t had sex for months, and my tests were clear afterward.”
“I’ve never had sex, so I don’t need the tests.”
“Or the condom?”
“Maybe we should be sensible?”
“Okay.” He bit back his disappointment. “Let’s take a shower together,” he encouraged gruffly. “It will help to warm and relax us both.”
“Relax me, you mean,” Lara murmured ruefully.
“I want to lather up the soap, or shower gel if you use that, and wash your body all over. Then I want to kneel at your feet and worship your pussy until you come all over my face—”
“Let’s take a shower.” Lara took a firm grasp of his hand and pulled him into the bathroom with her.
Within a few seconds, he and Lara were both naked. Lara had seemed a little shy as she undressed in front of him, but Malachi hadn’t given her time to think about that as he took her hand and pulled her into the shower with him.
The soap she preferred smelled of lemons and almonds as Malachi lathered it up in his large hands before soaping Lara’s body across her shoulders and down to her breasts, which he cupped and squeezed as he washed them, before moving down to her tiny waist.
Water cascaded over Malachi’s face as he kept his hands on Lara’s waist and dropped to his knees in the shower cubicle that ran the length of the small room. He could feel the slight tremble of her body beneath his fingertips.
“I’m going to eat your pussy,” he told her huskily as he moved his hands so that his fingers could part the folds between her thighs.
“You—” Lara broke off whatever she had been about to say when Malachi leaned forward and ran the length of his tongue along the seam between her legs.
“Oh God…” she groaned as she clutched his shoulders for balance. “That is so good. So good.”
He pressed the flat surface of his tongue against her pulsing clit before licking from side to side, pressing harder and harder with each wet swipe.
He pushed the tip of a finger carefully inside her channel as he continued to lick and suck her clit. He was careful not to breach her virginity, but he also needed her to be wet and stretched enough to take his thick length inside her when the time came.
“Malachi?” she gasped. “Malachi, I’m going to…” She screamed as her climax hit.
Malachi felt her cum gush against and past his finger, the creamy release tasting like the strawberries they had eaten for dinner.
He brought her to peak again and again, the juices flowing freely between her legs, lubricating her channel in readiness for his cock.
“I need to be inside you,” he finally grated as he rose to his feet and lifted Lara into his arms and carried her out of the shower.
He had enough foresight to grab a towel on the way out of the room, dropping it on top of the duvet before placing Lara on it and following her down.
Malachi lay on top of her and between her parted thighs, careful not to crush her as his tongue claimed her mouth in the same way his throbbing cock wanted to be inside her pussy.
He couldn’t wait any more, needed to claim Lara, to know that she was his. “Tell me if I hurt you,” he warned as he lifted enough so that he could grasp hold of his cock and guide it to her entrance.
“You won’t,” she encouraged as he hesitated.
“This will make you mine, Lara,” he warned.
“It will also make you mine, Malachi.”
That was it. He’d heard enough.
He held on to his control as he rolled on the condom before carefully pushing his cockhead between the lips of her channel. He looked up to make sure she was comfortable with the intrusion before he went any further.
“More,” she encouraged. “Don’t hold back. Give me all of you, Malachi.”
Her words made his pulse leap and his body heat, but he managed to restrain the impulse to push fully inside her. He wasn’t going to hurt her, refused to do so.
Instead, he edged his cock slowly into her heat, the walls of her channel hot as they contracted about his length, pulling him deeper, so much deeper, until his cockhead hit the end of her channel.
Malachi nearly came at the realization that if he hadn’t been wearing a condom, his cock could release straight into her womb. That perhaps they might have even made a baby together. Maybe it was a little soon for that, but the thought of it was enough to make his length throb needily inside her.
“Lara, I need to move,” he warned.
“Do it,” she encouraged gruffly. “Take me so I know who I belong to.”
Her words broke the last of his control, and he could no longer stop the forward thrusts and withdrawals of his hips and cock as he began to pound rapidly inside her. Deeper. Harder. Until he felt the walls of her pussy contracting in another climax and he knew he was going with her.
Wave after wave of pleasure was accompanied by equally long and hot spurts of cum shooting from the top of his cock.
Heaven.
He was in fucking heaven.
Literally.
