SWNOVELS Cherish Me Forever: Chapter 18
Reese bounced up and down on her toes by the door. ‘Do you have a back door, or are we going through the front?’
‘Let’s go through the back,’ I said. There was a small trail, paved with stones, running from the back door all the way down to the lake.
‘This place is truly beautiful,’ Reese said once we were outside.
For a few seconds, we were both silent, only the sound of our breaths filling the air. I took her hand, leading her down the trail. The decoration company had wrapped strings of lights around a few trees, and it looked great.
‘I bet every time you’re here with friends, it’s a party.’
‘I don’t really invite friends over here.”
‘Then why bring me?’ she murmured.
‘Because I wanted to share this with you.’ I actually wanted to share more with her than I was comfortable to admit. It posed a conundrum even to me.
Deciding not to dwell on it, I kissed her hard. I was hungry for her. Her cheeks were already cold, and her mouth was warm, soft, and inviting. She moaned, parting her lips and giving me even more access, but it wasn’t enough. Nothing ever felt enough with her. No matter how much she gave, I always needed more.
I deepened the kiss, but she pulled back a fraction of an inch, then yelped. I didn’t realize what was going on until I noticed that she was leaning back and didn’t seem to have her balance.
Immediately, I realized we were both falling. I reached forward out of instinct to the nearest tree and grabbed a branch, but it was more of a twig. Reese and I both went down. The twig cracked, and we fell with a thump.
She burst out laughing. I started laughing, too, but propped myself up on an elbow. Half my body was covering hers.
‘Are you hurt? Did you hit your head?’ I asked.
‘No, I have good reflexes. I didn’t realize it was so slick.’
‘Neither did I.’ The ground was frozen. We hadn’t gotten any snow yet, but the temperatures had dropped to freezing at night.
‘Oh, Chicago, why don’t you bless us with snow, at least, if you have this god-awful freezing temperature?’ She gasped. ‘What happened to the lights?’
I followed her gaze. The lights in the tree next to us were off.
‘I probably pulled something when I tried to steady us,’ I admitted.
Sure enough, the string was broken where the twig snapped.
Reese pouted. ‘I’m sorry for hurting your tree.’
‘Fuck, you’re adorable. And freezing,’ I said in a stronger voice, realizing her teeth were chattering. ‘Let’s go back inside.’
‘But we’re not done exploring.’
I helped her up to her feet and cupped her face. ‘You’re cold. I don’t want you to get sick. We have plenty of time to look around tomorrow. Come on, I’ll warm you up.’
‘Okay.’ She covered my hands with hers, which were quite cold.
‘You don’t have gloves?’ I asked.
‘No, but I have your sexy warm hands, so what would I need gloves for?’ she asked playfully.
We hurried inside the house. She didn’t take off her coat immediately, and her cheeks were really red.
‘Sure you didn’t hurt your head?’ I double-checked.
‘No, but I’m cold, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I don’t think I can eat that tiramisu.’
‘True, that’s not going to help with the cold. Let’s get you out of that coat. Some skin-on-skin contact will help.’
I took off her coat and noticed her teeth were still chattering. I kissed her cheek, then down to the lobe of her ear, tugging at it.
Her body language instantly changed, going from tense to relaxed. When I put a hand at the small of her back, she arched slightly. I sealed my mouth over hers, and I wasn’t gentle about it. I couldn’t be—I’d been waiting for this moment for days. I took both her hands in mine, keeping them in place, just transferring my body heat to hers.
‘I’m getting warmer,’ she whispered.
I kissed her again, then took off my coat, wanting to be even closer to her. She smelled delicious. I had no idea what it was—a mix of some floral scent—but it made me think of her.
I took a step back.
‘No, why? Come closer.’ She tugged at my shirt.
‘Let’s go to the bedroom before I completely lose my mind and forget where we are.’
Fuck, am I panting? I was a complete caveman with her.
‘Okay.’
Taking her hand, I led her upstairs.
‘Let’s go to the bathroom first. I think a shower will warm you up,’ I suggested.
‘As I said, I’m yours to do whatever you want,’ she teased, and my cock twitched. She knew exactly how to get me going, and I loved it.
The bathroom had a huge walk-in shower that had always seemed too big until now. I turned on the hot water even though we were still fully clothed. I wanted the whole bathroom to steam up so she’d get warm in no time. Then I turned to her and grabbed the hem of her sweater, pulling it over her head. She was only wearing a bra underneath. No wonder she was freezing.
She looked so damn sexy here in my bathroom. I needed to explore her. But I had her for the whole weekend, so I could take my time with everything.
I threw her sweater somewhere on the floor, and then she pulled mine over my head. We were desperate for each other. I yanked her jeans down next, and she almost lost her balance before gripping my hair with one hand and placing the other on my shoulder. She was wearing matching panties. On instinct, I turned her around and nearly lost it. She barely had a string of fabric between her ass cheeks. I kissed the right one and then the left.
‘Ohhhh,’ she moaned, her voice shaking.
I undid the button of my jeans, pushing them down with both hands while I drew my mouth in a straight line upward on her left ass cheek, then moved downward on her right one. She gasped at the contact, leaning forward and grabbing the edge of the shower. There was enough steam in the bathroom now that her skin had warmed up.
I flipped her around, looking up at her while my cock bobbed between us. ‘Take off your bra,’ I instructed.
She nodded, reaching behind her back to undo the clasp and then tossing the bra to the side. At the same time, I pulled down her panties, letting them fall to her ankles. I parted her legs with one hand, and she leaned back against the shower glass.
‘It’s still a bit cold,’ she muttered, then she moaned when I put my mouth straight on her clit without any warning. ‘Dom!’
I licked around her clit once before moving my tongue down, pushing it inside her. She tilted her hips forward so I could lick her better and rested her head on the glass, dropping it slightly back as I kept pushing my tongue in and out. Feeling a light tremor in her thighs, I ran my hands up and down her legs from under her ass cheeks all the way down to her ankles, then back up again.
I liked watching her body transform. I couldn’t stop touching her. I’d be a happy man if I got to spend the rest of my life right here with my mouth between her thighs, pleasing her.
When her tremors intensified, I decided to change tactics. I brought one hand between her thighs and took my mouth off her, kissing upward in a straight line.
‘Dom,’ she protested.
‘Don’t worry, Reese. I’ll make you come with my hand, but I want to watch you up close when you do.’
She clenched around my fingers as I moved them with precision, alternating between pressing the heel of my hand on her clit and rubbing her G-spot with my middle and index fingers.
She called out my name. Damn, she was so close, but I wasn’t in a hurry.
I kissed up her body, feeling every vibration. I straightened up when I felt her clench tight around me. With my other hand, I sustained her weight so she could simply enjoy the orgasm.
Putting both hands on my chest, she pushed her head against the shower glass with so much force that I took a step back. I wanted to feel the vibrations of her moans against my mouth, but in the end, I was content to simply train my eyes on her face and watch it change. She gave herself to the pleasure with complete abandon before flashing me a sated smile.
‘That’s the best way to warm me up,” she murmured.
“Oh yeah,’ I agreed.
I removed my clothes in the time it took her to step under the spray and change the water temperature to whatever she preferred.
‘Now that’s better.’
I joined her under the water, and she poured my shower gel into her palms, then gestured for me to move away from the stream. She began spreading the gel on my shoulders and my chest. Her hand glided down until she reached my erection.
‘Just a bit more soap,’ she teased, rubbing me with both hands.
Fuck, this feels good. I grinned, moving back and forth, pushing in and out of her fist. The friction was insane, but it was no match for her pussy.
‘Reese, I need you,’ I said.
‘I need you too,’ she whispered, letting go of me.
I guided us back under the water so it washed away the soap, then pushed her farther until her back was against the tiles. She was far too small for me to be able to fuck her while standing, but I had a solution to that.
Resting her hands on top of my arms, I lifted her into the air and then lowered her onto my erection. She was so damn wet that I didn’t even need to take it slow.
She cried out, pressing her knees into my waist. ‘This feels so good. How can it be so intense?’
‘I don’t know,’ I admitted. ‘It’s so damn good.’
I couldn’t say anything more, couldn’t put it into words, but I could show her exactly how she made me feel.
I carefully placed her against the wall so I was at a good distance to allow free movement, then turned off the water—we didn’t need it anymore. There was so much steam in the bathroom that I could barely breathe or see her, but I could feel her, and it was exquisite.
She held on to me and tightly pressed her fingers into my chest before running her hands up to my shoulders. She cried out in pleasure and then sighed in frustration.
‘I want to move even more,’ she whispered. ‘I need it.’
‘Your wish is my command, babe.’
I knew exactly what she meant. She didn’t have enough leverage and couldn’t hold on properly to anything except me, so I carried her out of the shower.
I grabbed a few towels but didn’t stop to pat us dry; I was far too gone for that. I led us to the master bedroom. Still deep in her, I felt her contract around me on every step, which was a new sensation altogether. I threw the towels on the bed so we could lie on them.
‘How clever,’ she murmured. ‘I wondered what you were going to do with those.’
I lowered her to her feet. ‘Turn around, beautiful, and show me that gorgeous ass.’
She swallowed hard before twirling.
‘Now bend over.’
She gasped but did as I said, climbing onto the bed on all fours.
I positioned myself so my cock was right at her entrance, then slowly pushed in all the way.
‘Fuck!’
I groaned.
My whole body burned. She was so damn tight. Her muscles pulsed and then clenched down completely, making her tighter still.
‘Reese,’ I growled.
‘I’m so close.’
I nearly came when I felt her fingers at the side of my cock. She was touching her clit. I was so lost in her that I hadn’t even realized it.
I pushed in harder and harder, thrusting in and out. I wasn’t even sure who came first. One second, I felt my body burn and my vision darken, and the next, Reese was crying out, shaking, and her inner muscles tightened around me. She arched her back and then lowered her forehead to the sheets, pressing into them.
I wanted to tell her not to hide, but instead, I came hard. I wanted her to hear me, too, to know what she was doing to me. I was giving her this power. I wanted her to have the key to my body.
‘I don’t think I can kneel much longer,’ she whimpered.
‘Lie down, beautiful,’ I said.
She moved as I pulled out of her, her smile was even wider than before. I liked seeing this sated expression on her face.
I sat down next to her, putting a hand on her belly. ‘You all right?’
‘I want to put it all in a sentence, but I’m not sure how everything feels.’ She made a movement with her hand that was completely incomprehensible to me, but judging by her smile, I’d done well. She blinked her eyes open, dropping her head back. ‘You know what? I’m so hot right now that I could even eat some of that frozen tiramisu.’
I started to laugh. ‘I think it’s thawed some by now, but I like where your mind went.”
She smiled sheepishly. ‘I started thinking about it when we were in the shower.’
I growled. ‘I was buried inside you, and you were thinking about dessert?’
‘Just a bit, really. You were occupying most of my brain.”
I took my hand off her, then kissed her belly. ‘Stay right here.’
First, I headed to the bathroom to get a wet cloth, wiping myself off, then went to attend to Reese. Afterward, I hurried to the kitchen and grabbed the container and two spoons, bringing everything to bed.
Pride swelled in my chest when I realized Reese had indeed followed my command. She hadn’t moved at all and was still splayed out on the towels.
Her eyes zeroed in on the box I was holding. I put it between us on the bed. She immediately took a spoonful. ‘Mm. This is good. And just so I know, in case I get cold, you’ll warm me up again?’
‘You can count on that,’ I assured her.
She frowned. ‘Aren’t you going to eat?’
‘I am. But I want you to lie down first.’
‘Why?’
‘I’ll eat it off you.’
She giggled and lay down on the bed, pressing her lips together.
I smeared the tiramisu around her navel and then licked it up. She rolled her pelvis, and though I knew exactly what she needed, I was going to tease her some more first. I moved to her nipples, smearing the left and then the right one before drawing my tongue around each one slowly, torturing her.
‘Dom,’ she murmured.
‘I told you I want to explore you, Reese. And I intend to do it all night long.’
