Chapter Six

Cordelia Patton woke up to find a pair of large, warm hands moving insistently over her body. They cupped her full breasts, the thumbs tweaking her nipples, then they slid down the curve of her generous hips, before coming to rest on her upper thighs. She smiled, curled in closer to Hunter ‘Sully’ Sullivan’s chest.

“Hey, baby,” he said, his breath ruffling her hair. “Did I wake you up?”

“Mmmmm-hmmm,” she said sleepily. “But I think you meant to.”

Those hands moved around her waist now, down her back. Gently, he cupped her softly-rounded ass, pulled her up tight against his lower body. She made a sound of contentment when Hunter’s erection pressed into her stomach.

“I did not,” Hunter said, his voice husky. “It was totally an accident.”

She gave a small laugh.

“… But now that you are awake,” he continued. “I was thinking maybe we could do something.”

Cordelia opened one eye. “Like what?”

“Ummm… go for a run together?”

“Urgh. Never.”

“OK, then. Maybe you can make me breakfast?”

“Dream on, buddy. You woke me up, you make the coffee.”

“Oh. Is that the rule?”

“It is now,” she said.

“OK, I’ll go along with that… on one condition.” He gave a small thrust of his powerful hips and she bit back a gasp of desire.

“Name it,” she said, breathless.

“That you help me work up an appetite.”

She smiled up at him, her dark eyes glowing in the half-light, her black hair tousled around her beautiful face. “How?”

“Want me to show you?”

“Sure.”

He moved so quickly, now she did gasp aloud. Hunter Sullivan wasn’t a small man, but boy, he could move swift and silent when he wanted to. And right now? He clearly wanted to.

His lips on hers were impatient and insistent, all fire and desire. His large body covered hers completely, his whole hard length pressing into her soft curves. Cordelia wasn’t anything like a petite waif, but when Hunter was on her, she felt amazingly tiny. Always safe, though: the man was fiercely protective and dangerous and had put more men in the ground than she cared to know about, but with her, he was nothing but careful.

Her arms snaked around his broad shoulders, pulling him down as she rubbed her slick pussy against him. Her reward was a throaty groan, so she did it again.

Sully lifted his head to gaze down at her naked body; his dark eyes were nothing but flame as he gazed at her chocolate skin.

“What do you want, baby?” he ground out. “Tell me.”

“I want you inside me,” she breathed. “No more fooling around… just take me.”

“Awesome.” His hands spread her thighs. “I love when we’re on the same page.”

“Hunter…” Her plea was cut off now, and his name ended on a moan as he thrust inside her in one hard movement, so deep and hot. “Oh, God… Hunter…”

“Shhhhh,” he murmured against her lips. “The kids.”

“I know,” she whispered back. “I’ll try.”

It was a trial, though. Cordelia closed her eyes as sensation just washed over her, his thick cock pushing deep before he dragged it slowly out, stroking her clit with its length. Her back arched up off the bed and her nails dug into his ass, trying to get as close to him as humanly possible, knowing that as close as possible was never close enough with this man.

“Baby.” His voice was a husky whisper. “You need to come for me… I’m so fucking close, but I won’t let myself go over until you’re good.”

“I’m good,” she gasped. “I’m so good… just – harder. I need it harder.”

“Fuck.” Her words kicked his arousal into overdrive, and his thrusts got faster and harder. “Oh, damn, I can feel your muscles getting tighter on me. You’re caressing me with your pussy, baby… all that heat and silk just clenching and releasing on me. More, sweetheart. More.”

He knew how much she loved it when he talked to her like this in bed, and his words had the same effect that they always did: Cordelia’s body exploded. The orgasm was huge and shattering, almost terrifying in its strength. But Hunter was there to pick up the pieces, to put her together again. His hands held her, caught her, soothed her.

As he felt her whole body convulse in pleasure, Sully let go, too. His cock lengthened inside her amazing body, then he came, muttering her name against her throat, his right hand clutching her left one tight enough that her engagement ring dug into his skin.

Breathless, exhausted, totally satisfied, Cordelia buried her face in his chest. His heart was thundering against her forehead and his breathing was harsh. She smiled, gently ran her hands over his back muscles, loving this man more than she thought it was possible.

Not wanting to crush her, Sully rolled now, pulling her with him. He withdrew with a groan of regret and she curled up, tucked her legs under her. Sully smiled at her.

“You think we made a baby this time?” he asked teasingly, his hand on her soft stomach.

She smiled back. “I hope so. I’d love to have three kids.”

“Hmmm. Me too.” He kissed her forehead, felt her calm and relax. “Know what else I’d love?”

“Nope.”

“To marry you.”
