“Beautiful,” I murmured.
I leaned down and pressed my mouth to hers, and she moaned.
“I fit perfectly with you,” I whispered against her lips. “You’re wrapped around me so tight, Bran ... fuck.”
She returned her hands to my back and gently grazed her nails against my skin, causing me to hiss and begin to thrust into her harder. Branna’s moans were music to my ears, but when she moved her hand to her pussy and slowly circled her clit, heat ignited in my balls.
“Yes,” I rasped. “Rub that pretty clit of yours, baby. Show me what you’ve been doing when you didn’t have me.”
Branna hummed, then surprised me when she lifted her essence-coated fingers to my lips. Her eyes were hooded with desire as she watched me lap away the cream before I sucked them into my mouth. When she returned her fingers back to her clit, her body shook.
“Holy fuck!”
I drove into her harder, faster, and a hell of a lot deeper.
“Did you pretend your fingers were my mouth, baby?” I asked, my voice primal. “Did you fuck yourself and wish it was me?”
“Yes!” Branna panted. “Only you.”
Jolts of pleasure flooded my body. “Come on, baby. I’m so close.”
My orgasm slammed into me just as hard as Branna’s did. It consumed me and flowed through my veins, pumping the feeling of ecstasy throughout my body. My spine stiffened, my hips jerked in involuntary motions, and a pleasure so hot and intense spread across my body and soothed me completely. I was vaguely aware as I fell forward, covering Branna’s body with mine. She laughed and moved her hands to my sides and began to tickle me. I twitched and jerked in response and rolled to the side, falling off her, and out of her, in one fluid motion.
“Baby.”
Branna hummed. “My thoughts exactly.”
I reached my hand out, and Branna threaded her fingers through mine.
“Can we do that again?” I asked, my breathing laboured. “Right now?”
Branna laughed, again. “After I take a power nap because that orgasm was ... wow.”
“I know how you feel.” I shuddered. “It wasn’t the longest sex we’ve ever had, but damn if it didn’t feel like the best.”
“All that foreplay and teasin’ over the past three months has finally found its release.”
I turned and grabbed her. I pulled her a few inches up the bed until her head rested on a pillow. I covered us with the bedcover and snuggled my body against hers. Every bad thing we had been through over the past couple of years led to this moment, and it was all worth it.
“I love you, sweetness.”
Branna squeezed me. “I love ye’, too.”
Hearing her say those words, but better yet, feeling those words whenever she looked at me or touched me meant everything to me. I had a woman who loved me like I was her whole world, and in my heart, I knew that to her, I was her world. Just like she was mine to me. We had spent our lives looking out for our families and always put ourselves on the back burner, but no more. I would take care of Branna, but in return, she would take care of me too. She was my future, and I was happy to say it had never looked as bright or as beautiful.
She was my happily ever after, and I’d be damned if I didn’t deserve her.
CHAPTER SEVEN
Present day ...
When I entered the kitchen and found my wife preparing dinner, I snuck up behind her and snaked my arms around her petite body, making her yelp with fright. I laughed, then leaned down and planted kissed on her neck.
“Scared you.”
“Ye’ bloody well did.” Branna chuckled. “Ye’ still move so silently. It freaks me out.”
I smiled and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. “How are you feeling after what happened with the twins earlier?”
“I’m fine now that they’ve apologised and are okay with each other,” she answered as she continued to peel potatoes. “I often ask God why he didn’t give us five girls to raise, then I think of all the hassle Georgie gives Dominic and me sister, and I realise that I’m perfectly happy dealin’ with five annoyin’ lads.”
I patted her behind. “I’d have a lot more grey hairs if we had five Georgies. I love that girl something fierce, but man, she gives her daddy and mama a hard time, and she doesn’t even mean to.”
Branna chuckled. “She’s such a good girl, though, and she has all of you men, young and old, wrapped around ‘er little finger.”
“Don’t remind me.”
My wife relaxed back against me. “Can ye’ believe the twins will be fifteen in a few months? I can’t. It feels like we just met yesterday, and now we have two almost fifteen-year-olds.”
I pressed my face against her hair. “I know, I was just thinking earlier about past events and meeting you was one of them.”
