She pulled back and lifted her hand to his face, cupping his jaw as she stared into his eyes with so much warmth that his insides did a twist-and-tumble routine

"I want to undress you too," she said in a shy voice "I want to see you and touch you"

He did groan this ti me, honey I want that too Believe me, I want you to touch me more than I want to breathe"

He turned her to the side as he slipped her underwear down, exposing her behind, twin globes that begged for his hands to cup the her upward to receive him more easily Sweat beaded his forehead as he was bo into her delicate sheath

No longer able to withstand the urge to touch her, he ran his hands down her body, caressing and petting, savoring every touch

Chill bumps rose and dotted her flesh and she shivered as he cupped her breasts, pushing the to taste you," he murmured just as he lowered his head to suck one puckered crest into his rab for his shoulders, her nails digging into his flesh as she strained upward,his mouth Her entire body tensed and a softhis satisfaction, he htly in repeated swipes before sucking it between his lips, exerting asped again and her nails pressed harder into his skin

"Feel good, honey?"

"Yes," she breathed out "So good, Donovan I feel like I’ve waited forever for you"

He lifted his head to look into her eyes, wanting her to kno serious he was

"I’ve been waiting my whole life for you, Eve For this For you For this o I hope you’re prepared for that"

Her eyes went soft with answeringlove? Could he hope for that so soon? He wasn’t expecting it Not so quickly But he wanted it Wanted it with all his heart The day she gave hiave hi between theave him the words, he would know that she would truly be his in every sense of the word

"I want it," she said quietly, her voice thick with e"

"I’ll give you everything you could possibly want or need and so o to bed at night knowing I’ll always be here, and I want you to wake up in the e I don’t want a minute to pass that you don’t know exactly who and what you are to me"
