Fall With Me (Sugarland Creek, #3) (73)

She clasps her fingers around my arm as her moans grow louder.

“That's it…don't hold back, baby.” I suck her neck, feeling her tense. “Come, Ellie.”

Sweet moans release from her mouth as she does just that. She hangs onto me and shatters in my arms.

I put the nozzle back up and then gave her time to catch her breath.

“That was so hot,” I tell her.

She spins around, freshly flushed and satisfied. “Your turn.”

“My turn to what?”

“I wanna watch you get yourself off.”

Grabbing my hard cock, I give it a few casual strokes. “Okay. On one condition.”

She raises her brows but continues focusing on my hand. “What's that?”

“I want you on your knees, ready to swallow it down.”

I hold out my hand so she doesn't fall and then she kneels in front of me.

Cupping her jaw, I tilt her head up toward me and shove my thumb between her lips. “Such a good girl.”

Instead of smarting off like I'm used to from her, she opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue.

“Jesus Christ…” I shake my head and continue fucking my fist because it's not going to take long with her looking at me like that.

She focuses all of her attention on me as I twist around the tip and then when I feel my balls draw up and my body tense, I smack my cock against her lips.

“Get ready…” I warn her, my eyes fighting to stay open but I force them to because I'm not missing this.

Moaning through the pleasure, I give myself quick little strokes until it releases and paints her beautiful face with my come.

“Goddamn, that was so fuckin' intense.”

Grabbing her hand, I help her up and crash my mouth to hers, still messy with my release.

“That was fuckin’ hot,” she mutters in between kisses. “I vote joint showers from now on.”

“Whatever you want. You could ask for anything right now, and I'd do it.”

She giggles as she snakes her arms around my waist, rests her chin on my chest, and gazes up at me with the most precious expression on her face. “I like you, ya know?”

I chuckle under my breath, tightening my hold on her. “It's about goddamn time you caught up to me. I've been waitin' four years.”





After the water gets too cold to stay in the shower, I towel dry every inch of her body, and then give her one of my T-shirts while I put her clothes in the washer. I figured we'd come back here for dessert, so once we settled on the couch, I served strawberry shortcake with whipped cream.

“This is good. Who says you can't cook?” she taunts, licking the cream off her fork.

“I'd barely call it that. I mixed the strawberries with sugar, put them on top of a shortcake, and added the topping.”

She smirks. “Gramma Grace has been teachin' me a lot these past two weeks. She's a gem. You’re lucky. I'm not super close to my grandma.”

“No? How come?”

Her shoulders lift casually. “She was a single mom, and I don't think she had great relationships with her kids, either. She comes over during holidays and for random dinners, but it's mostly centered around small talk, and I hate that.”

After we finish eating, we put on a movie. But halfway through, we end up making out and Ellie straddling my lap. This time, I don't make her ride my hat and let her come grinding on my dick.

“Do you wanna stay the night?” I ask when it gets late. “If you don't wanna drive in the dark, I can take you.”

“I don't mind stayin' if you don't.”

“Not at all.” I kiss her. “I'll be up early for chores but can come back before you have to leave.”

“Have you ever had a girlfriend sleepover?”

“A one-night stand, yes. A girlfriend, no.”

She gives me a disapproving face, and I chuckle. “Then why did you ask?”

She shrugs. “Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I guess. Did you burn the sheets at least?”

“Oh they're long gone. I bought all new bedding for you. Top of the line, luxury sheets, and a new comforter.”

“You did? Why?”

“Because I wanted a fresh start with you. As soon as we started dating, I wanted any trace of other women gone. None were serious anyway, so it wasn't a hardship to replace everything. I even bought new towels so you'd have high-quality ones when you needed to shower.”

“I dunno if that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard or the most presumptuous that you were gonna get me in your bed…”

I scratch over my beard that’s overdue for a cut. “I vote for the former.”

She wraps her arms around my neck and pulls my mouth to hers. “Okay, sustained.”

My phone goes off with a text, and I grab it off the coffee table before we walk to my room.

“Oh shit…”

“What is it?” she asks.

Cecilia





YOU'RE ENGAGED?!?





“I think your interview released…” I tell her, and then show her my screen.

“I'm surprised she didn't hear about it sooner.” She pulls the covers back and rubs a palm over the softness of the sheets. “Ooh, these are very nice.”
