The denim fabric fell away and exposed more of the tank top. My knees went weak when I realized she wasn’t wearing a bra.
“Mother of God, you’re not wearing a bra,” I said, running my tongue over her nipple through the shirt.
“Dirk,” Merit gasped as she dug her nails into my hair.
I licked and sucked until the white fabric was wet, and I could see her hardened nipple through it.
“Sexy as fuck,” I whispered, unclasping the other shoulder strap and repeating the process with her other nipple.
“Wait, you’re making me lightheaded. Why did you pull out?”
“Later. Right now I want to focus on this moment. On you,” I said softly as I kissed up her neck, across her jaw, and finally captured her mouth with mine.
Merit wrapped her arms around my neck, and it didn’t take long for the two of us to get lost in the kiss.
“I want to make love to you, Merit.”
“Yes,” she replied, dropping her head back. I placed featherlight kisses along her neck. “Please.”
I picked her up and carried her quickly to the bedroom. Gently, I placed her feet on the floor and slowly undressed her. Merit’s body was perfect. I loved her shapely curves and couldn’t wait to see her body change as her belly grew larger with our baby. I longed to run my hands over every single inch of her body. Study every bit of her with both my mouth and hands.
“Dirk,” she pleaded as I kissed all around her stomach.
“Tell me what you want me to do.”
She groaned and arched her back. “Anything, just touch me!”
With a smile, I settled myself between her thighs and blew gently.
“Damn it. More!” she cried out and grabbed my head, guiding me to the sweet spot where she needed relief.
“I love making you come,” I whispered before I gently flicked her clit and caused her to gasp.
“Yes. Yes, I love it, too, now get on with it!”
With a chuckle, I did as she asked. When her body was finished shaking, and her breathing settled back into a somewhat normal pattern, I stood and finished undressing. I was back over her and settled between her legs before she even knew I was gone.
“There’s never been anyone who makes me feel the way you do, Merit.”
She opened her eyes, and I was struck once again by the bright color of violet.
“Tell me you believe me,” I whispered.
Her mouth opened and then closed again as she stared up at me. She looked confused.
“Please tell me.”
Her reply came out in a soft rush of words. “I believe you, Dirk.”
I pushed inside her in one quick move, and she cried out in pleasure. Merit wrapped her body tightly around mine as I buried my face into her neck and moaned in delight. “Move, Dirk. Please move.”
The feel of my body tightening already took me by surprise. If I moved, I was scared I would come. Christ, what did this woman do to me? “I can’t. Give me a second,” I replied.
Merit moved her hands gently over my back and lifted her hips ever so slightly. “Are you okay?” she asked.
Laughing, I drew back and looked at her. “I almost came.”
That made her brows rise and her eyes widen. “Really?”
I nodded and slowly pulled out before sliding back into her delicious heat.
“Yes,” she whispered as we set the rhythm together. “Dirk, don’t move. Oh God. God. I’m going to come.”
“Merit,” I cried out, feeling her tighten around me.
The moment she fell, I went right along with her.
Merit was snuggled up next to me as we lay in her bed, neither one of us ready to leave it.
“Dirk?”
“Yeah?”
“Do you worry that I doubt your love for me?”
I stopped stroking her for the briefest of moments before I started again softly. “Honestly, yes. I know I talked a lot of shit before you came back into my life. I said I wasn’t interested in settling down, that I could never be a one-woman kind of guy. It was never true, at least not a hundred-percent true. But everything has changed, and for the better. I want this, Merit. I want these moments, and I want as many of them as I can get.”
She moved her body and put her hand on my chest before resting her chin on the back it. “I do believe you, Dirk. I know you love me and the baby. And as much as I love living in this bubble, we need to talk about the future.”
I nodded. “Okay, first thing. I think I should move into the house with you.”
A smile spread across her face. “Here?”
“Of course, here. This is your house, and it’s a damn nice one. I want to pay for half of it.”
“No!”
“Merit, it’s the right thing to do, and you know it.”
She dug her teeth into her lip. “Okay. I like the sound of you moving in.”
