The Unseen Enemy Series

Chapter 216

“Oh, God.” His eyes squeezed shut as she started to tighten on him, and he struggled to hold off until she came. “Kat, you’re so beautiful. You feel so damn good.”

She pulled his face down to hers, kissed him. Then she drew back, not more than an inch, and whispered against his mouth, “Beth.”

Stunned, Jim leaned back to see her face. She was crying now, but these weren’t tears of pain or fear; they weren’t even tears of sadness. They were more like a baptism.

His fingers trembled as he gently touched her lips. “Beth.”

Hearing her name spoken in his husky voice, feeling it flutter across her cheek on his breath: Beth had never expected these things to happen. She smiled at him, and his heart almost split in two with love for her.

She’s just given me everything.

Jim kissed her, then started to move again, more deliberately. She cried out as he made love to her hard, slow, deep. He took total control of her body, making sure she felt every inch of him. Her head fell back and rested against the wall, her fingers dug into his thickly-muscled shoulders.

“Come for me, Beth,” he said, his voice dark. “Come hard, baby.”

At his words, the coiled tension deep inside her started to unravel. Her body was reaching, straining, fighting to release the taut, agonizing need. Her climax approached fast and huge, rising and growing with his every plunge, and she couldn’t do anything except feel Jim in her, all around her.

He felt her whole body trembling, right there on the brink of orgasm, and he drove into Beth harder, pushing her mercilessly closer and closer to completion. She went over now, screaming and convulsing around him, and he let himself follow her over the edge of bliss. She heard his groans, felt his massive body shudder against hers as he started to come. And when Jim finally released deep inside her, he lost the ability to breathe: he felt dizzy from pleasure.

From her.

Dimly, Beth was aware that Jim had dropped his head to her shoulder, and his harsh breathing was hot against her throat. His one hand was braced on the wall, keeping him from collapsing to his knees, the other arm curved under her ass, holding her up. She stirred and started to unhook her legs from his waist so he could set her down and relax.

His fingers tightened on her hip and he held her in place. “Don’t you move,” he whispered. “I’m not ready to let you go just yet.”

She smiled and cuddled in close again. “OK.”

They stayed like that for a few minutes, their heartbeats slowing down. Beth had never felt so safe in her life, so protected and encircled by love. She sighed deeply, wishing she could stay right where she was forever.

When he felt like he could walk without bringing them both crashing to the ground, Jim carefully moved away from the wall. Still deep inside her sweet body, he carried Beth to her bedroom, and he sat on the edge of the bed. She held him closer, and he ran his fingers through her hair before finally pulling out of her, hating to leave her heat.

“Tell me how you’re doing,” he said quietly.

“I’m – happy.” She smiled up at him. “You make me happy.”

Jim touched her cheek, marveling at her. “Beth… my God, it’s so good to meet you properly.”

She started to laugh from relief and joy, then all of a sudden, her laughter changed; to her surprise, it turned to sobs. She panicked, trying to stop her crying, but she just couldn’t. She was feeling so many things all at once, and she wasn’t able to hold them back any longer.

Jim held her tightly. “Shhhhh, baby. I’ve got you, you’re OK now.”

“I – I don’t want to cry,” she said, her voice breaking. “I don’t know what’s going on. I’m not upset…”

“I know. Just let it go… you need to let it all go, Beth.”

And there in Jim’s arms, she finally did.
