He closed his fingers around hers, reveling in her trust. The only thing that marred the moment was her inability to see it as anything but a dream. Maybe that was for the best. Reality would intrude soon enough. Marko counted his blessings that they were alone. He’d know if anyone intruded in the woods. The animals, along with his own heightened senses, would warn him.
He led her to the clothes-covered mound of branches and held her hand as she settled gracefully onto the pile. The sharp scent of pine filled the air as she settled back, letting her fingers slip from his. Masculine possession rose up within him as she sprawled across the bed he’d provided, wearing nothing but her sexy underwear and her necklace.
Marko fell to his knees at her slender, shapely feet. Even the dirt on her soles couldn’t detract from their attractiveness. They were so feminine. His feet were large and functional. He loved the differences between the male and female bodies. And Kellsie had an exceptional one.
One meant to be worshiped in the most basic of ways.
He captured her ankles with his hands and pushed her legs open until there was enough room for him between them. Her breath hitched as he stroked up her calves all the way to her knees. She let out a little gasp when his hands went higher to her milky white thighs. He wanted them clasped around the sides of his head as he pleasured her with his mouth and tongue and lips.
He growled low and long. Fluid was leaking from the tip of his cock. He was running out of time. But he had to taste her first.
Marko slid his fingers beneath the band of her panties and slowly peeled them down her legs. He had to move in order to get them off, but he was back in position the moment he tugged them away. He set her panties carefully aside.
Kellsie watched him, her eyes half-closed, her lips moist as though she’d been licking them. He leaned forward and cupped her face with his hands. The motion pushed his cock against her sex, sliding it over her slick, pink folds. They both groaned as she squirmed, trying to get him closer.
Marko had to suck air into his lungs and remind himself to breathe. Neither of them spoke. The moment was too charged, both of them sensing the vulnerability of the other. It was as if they knew no words would be enough, all would fall short of what was happening between them.
He stroked her slender neck, her delicate collarbone and down her arms. He could feel the muscle there and knew she wasn’t weak, but neither was she anywhere near as strong as he was. He marveled at her ability to trust, to give herself to him so completely. He vowed not to disappoint her.
Her breasts were incredible—full and crowned with large pink nipples. The tips were puckered and taut. He cupped the mounds in his hands and traced his thumbs around the edges of her nipples, never quite touching them.
Kellsie moved restlessly beneath him, grinding her pelvis against his, searching for release. The first time would be quick for her. He could sense it. Wanted it.
Marko leaned forward and took one sweet nipple into his mouth, using his fingers to tease the other. A whimper of need broke from her lips. He curled his tongue around the hard nub before sucking on it.
She bucked beneath him, her body hot and alive with growing desire. He reluctantly released her breast and kissed a path down her ribs. Her waist was small but her hips flared out in a womanly form. He’d take more time to examine every inch of her later. If there was a later, a voice in the back of his mind reminded him. He ignored the taunt and pushed his hands beneath her firm ass, lifting her closer.
She cried out, the passionate sound echoing off the walls as he brought his mouth to her pussy. His tongue rasped up one side and down the other. Ambrosia couldn’t taste better than Kellsie did. Sweet like honey. Spicy like cinnamon. All woman. Marko consumed her with a hunger he didn’t think he’d ever sate.
He probed and licked and sucked at her outer lips. Her clit was peeking out from its protective hood and he captured it gently between his lips, flicking his tongue over it. Kellsie’s fingers tugged at his hair, holding him to her. Her heels dug into his back as she arched into him.
Marko felt drunk on her essence. Her little cries of pleasure threatened to make his cock explode. He had to finish this now.
Cupping her ass with one hand, he inserted the other between her thighs. He eased one finger into her and had to grit his teeth to keep from coming. Her inner muscles sucked him into her heated channel. He withdrew and inserted two fingers this time, stretching her, preparing her to take his cock.
She rocked against him, fast and furious now, reaching for the orgasm hovering just out of reach. Marko started to work a third finger into her pussy. She stiffened and he sucked hard on her clit.
Kellsie screamed. It split the night around them. She jerked in his arms, her hips bucking so hard she almost pushed him aside. Marko worked her with his mouth and fingers until he sensed she’d had enough. Carefully, he eased away, sat back on his heels and stared down at her. Kellsie’s hair was plastered to her scalp and shoulders, a bead of sweat trickled between her breasts. He leaned down and licked away the salty drop.
She moaned and laughed at the same time. It was an odd sound, a happy sound. She licked her lips and stared up at him. “That was…that was…” She shook her head. He understood her dilemma. There weren’t words to describe the strength of the bond already forged between them.
Marko should have been worried. Instead, he couldn’t wait to get inside her. He leaned forward, bracing one hand beside her shoulder. Using his other hand, he guided the head of his cock toward her and brushed her slick folds. She gasped and he moaned. If he didn’t get inside her soon he was going to come on top of her.
“Kellsie?” It had to be her choice, her decision.
She reached out her hand and cupped the side of his face, brushing her thumb over his cheek. She let her fingers slip down his jaw and neck until her palm covered his heart. His chest tightened. His cock roared for release but he ignored it.
She nodded.
The final restraint broken, he drove his cock into her.
Chapter Ten
Kellsie couldn’t think. All she could do was feel. Her skin was alive with sensation. Every square inch tingled. She’d never been more aware of her body or of herself as a woman in her entire life.
Her head was still spinning, her chest aching from the explosive release. She’d orgasmed before, but none of her previous experiences has been like this one. It had been off the charts, like the fireworks from Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve all rolled into one.
And it was only the beginning.
As if a tether had finally snapped, Marko surged inside her, pushing past the natural resistance of her body. Her inner muscles quivered and stretched to accept his long, thick shaft.
But he would not be denied. He pushed steadily until she thought there was no way she’d be able to take all of him. He leaned down and rested his forehead against hers. “Stop fighting me.” He kissed her gently, his lips firm but soft against hers.
“I’m trying.” She concentrated on breathing in and out. Slow, deep, steady breaths. Her leg muscles were tense, so she forced them to relax.
She was very aware of the scratchiness of the branches beneath her where their discarded clothing didn’t quite cover every needle. She should be cold as it was the darkest part of the night, but she wasn’t. Not with the heat they were generating.
The astringent scent of pine, the rich smells of the earth and the arousing aroma of masculinity and sex surrounded her. He shifted position, his large hands holding her hips captive as he continued to forge his way into her. He was gentle, but there was no escaping him. Nor did she want to.
He was relentless, like the wind and the ocean tides. He would have her.
