Phantom Affair (6 page)

She gave a huge gasp and quivered sharply.

“You can’t come yet,” he warned her, sensing she was on the
verge.

“I don’t…don’t know if I can hold out,” she said on panting
breaths.

“Hold on. For me. Not until I’m inside you and I say you
can.”

“I’ll try,” she promised.

He didn’t make it easy. Something told him she didn’t want
it easy. What was submission worth if it were easy? So he tormented her with
provoking strokes and caresses until she writhed and sobbed and begged him to
come into her. Then he stopped for a few moments and let her cool down a little
before he started again. Twice more he tortured her, building her up almost to
the point of explosion then backing her off it a bit.

The last time, though, she was wildly frantic and he dared
not prolong it any longer. He wasn’t sure he’d survive it himself, in truth.
His cock and balls were so full, so hot, they throbbed furiously.

He moved to kneel between her legs. He reached over, found a
condom on the bedside table, put it on and rubbed his encased cock along her
slit to lubricate it. She groaned again. Finding her entrance, he nudged into
her, taking it slow to let her adjust to his thickness, holding back the urge
to slam himself home.

Once he felt her move beneath him, spreading her legs more
and then wrapping them around him to draw him closer, he abandoned gentleness.
Following the demands of his own body, he drove all the way into her, burying
his hard shaft in the smooth, slick heat of her sheath. She wrapped him in the
fire of home and heaven and the sweetest experience of his entire life.

She was also sobbing with the effort to hold back her orgasm
against the additional provocation of having him inside her.

He backed out, buried himself, then drove in and out twice
more before he said, “Now, love. Come for me now.” Despite the pressure inside
screaming for relief, he angled his body so he could slip a hand between them
to run a finger over her clit. “Scream,” he urged her. “I want to
hear
you
come as well as feel it.”

He felt her muscles get tenser yet, then release in a
gigantic jerk that whipsawed her into him. Her scream would have roused the
neighbors from a dead sleep had there been any nearby. It made him feel like
the king of the world to know he could evoke that response. The contractions of
her orgasm set off his own as well. He jerked and jolted against her as the
pressure sprang loose with his seed.

Afterward they lay against each other, panting, wallowing in
the lovely peaceful feeling of fulfillment, enjoying the occasional aftershock.
Now he felt complete in a way he never had before, as though a piece of him
long missing had been restored. Not just his physical body, but in a larger
sense, his humanity had been returned. Through Kelly. He leaned down to kiss
her, wanting to hold her like this forever. He wanted to bind her to him, now,
in the deepest, strongest way he knew how.

“We may not be officially married yet,” he said, “But if
you’ll have me, I’m yours. Forever and always. For my part, you’re now my wife,
my lover, the companion I choose for the rest of my life. I vow it to you.”

His heart pounded in his chest, threatening to tear its way
free as he waited for her response. What would this new life be worth if she
rejected him?

Her expression showed a jolt of shock that melted into
warmth and a flood of joy. “And I take you as my husband, lover and companion
for as long as we live. I swear it to you.”

He kissed her again to seal the bargain.

He had a lot to learn about living again, but he couldn’t
imagine a better teacher, guide or lover for the journey.
