Charlie was pulled from his restless sleep by a gentle brush against his lips. His arms tightened around the slight frame in his grasp before his eyes slowly opened, still hazy with sleep.
After Anna had pretty much passed out in his arms on the couch, he had gathered her up and laid her on the bed in her bedroom. He'd stripped out of his jeans and t-shirt and joined her, worried but fascinated at the same time. He wasn't sure how long he had laid there with her before dozing off.
"Good morning to you too," he spoke light-heartedly in a scratchy tone and felt Anna's lips press to his own again briefly.
"It's not morning yet. Sorry I fell asleep on you," she said in little more than a whisper and an embarrassed flush colored her cheeks.
Thinking that she'd fallen asleep confirmed Charlie's thoughts that she wasn't aware of what was going on inside of her. He was ninety-nine percent sure that her ex was the man the dragon, Nivara, had referred to and further explained why he was so against the man being near Anna.
With a grunt of effort, Charlie rolled to his side and pulled her more into his body with his arms encircling her back. He pressed his forehead to hers and brushed his nose against hers, letting his lids dropped closed as he inhaled her lavender scent. A gentle hum vibrated from his chest as he exhaled and said softly, "I just can't get enough of the smell of you."
He tenderly pressed his lips to hers and slowly moved them across her cheek and to the lobe of her ear, leaving a trail of feather-light kisses along the path. The arm beneath her stayed wrapped tightly around her waist, his fingers sliding beneath the hem of her tank and tracing small circles on the skin of her back. The hand of the other slid down the curve of her waist and just beneath the waistband of her leggings, kneading the skin of her hip as his thumb slid under the waistband of her panties. He used the hold to pull her hips more flush with his and nipped at the skin below her ear.
Anna tilted her head just slightly enough that he had more access to the flesh of her neck and he took the opening greedily. He kissed down the length of her neck and when he reached her collarbone, he pulled his canines roughly back up her neck to her ear. He felt her tremble against him before he heard her moan and pulled the lobe of her ear between his teeth, nibbling lightly upon it for a moment or two.
He gripped the waistband of her leggings and grinned into her neck when he felt her hips lift enough for him to pull the tight fabric down her legs. He pulled away from her neck and sent his tongue down her breastbone, biting lightly at the exposed skin above the neckline of her tank top as he finished peeling the leggings down the length of her legs.
His fingers trailed up her leg slowly, his fingertips teasing tiny circles on the back of her knee. His hand gripped the back of her knee and pulled her back to cradle his hips with hers, hooking her knee over his hip and sliding his hand to the back of her thigh. He groaned against her skin as her hips ground against his and his mouth moved to the hard nut of her n****e he could feel through the material of her top.
He extracted his arm from behind her and fed his fingers into the long length of her hair, his other hand still gripping her thigh and pulling her hips against his in a delicious rhythm. He bit the n****e in his mouth, perhaps a bit harder than he'd meant but Anna's reaction only pushed him further. Her moan reached his ears and the fingers of one of her hands became tangled into his hair. He pulled his hand from her hair to push up the hem of her tank top and she helped his impatience by removing her hand from his hair to pull the tank over her head and tossing it away.
His mouth immediately returned to her flesh and he sucked hard upon the n****e in his mouth. Anna arched against him, moaning loudly and Charlie dropped the n****e from his mouth to smother her lips with his own in an aggressive, possessive and drugging kiss. His hand gripped her breast, squeezing and rolling the n****e between his fingers while the hand on her thigh slid to her ass, sliding his fingers beneath the edge of her panties.
His hand molded the shape of her behind before squeezing tightly and pulling her hips even more flush with his own. He felt her hands roaming his chest, her nails biting into his skin and pulling a low growl from his lungs. His fingertips followed the curve of her ass until he felt the moist heat of her arousal. He groaned into their kiss before pulling away to send his lips quickly down her body. He paused his journey south just long enough to bite gently at her n*****s as he passed them. As he continued down the delectable skin of her stomach, he withdrew his hands from her.
Shifting slightly to lay her back more fully, he lifted his torso and knelt between her knees, letting his lust-filled gaze drink in the sight of her. He massaged the muscles of her legs and worked his hands slowly toward the apex of her thighs, lightly kissing and licking the skin of her lower stomach. He grinned against her when he felt her hips shifting slowly and her hands tried to push her panties over her hips.
He flashed his eyes up to her and gently shook his head, removing her hands from her panties. "Not yet," he whispered against her skin. Taking her hands in his, he linked their fingers and squeezed lightly before releasing them a moment later. He heard her groan in frustration and chuckled against her flesh. "Impatient," he mumbled and ran his tongue along the waist of her panties, pulling a deep moan from Anna as she arched her back up from the bed.
His thumbs pressed into the hollows of her thighs and squeezed the joints that connected her thighs to her hips with his hands. He hesitated a moment to cast his eyes back up to her before pushing the tip of his tongue against the soaked crotch of her panties and groaning loudly as the scent of her arousal filled his senses. Anna's panting breaths and deep moans filled his ears and he circled his tongue, molding the material of her underwear to her feminine folds.
His teeth nipped at her nub through the material and he heard her gasp before her fingers fed into his hair. Sliding one of his thumbs over, he pulled her panties aside and pulled his tongue up the full length of her folds. He brought his other hand into play, using his fingers to open her folds to him and growled deeply in his chest as her scent again, assaulted his senses. Her fingers tightened in his hair as he set his mouth to work on her overly sensitive nub. At one moment he was circling his tongue and the next he was sucking directly upon it. What she seemed to react to most, though, was his teeth scraping and nibbling. Her back arched harshly from the bed and her fingers would pull in his hair.
He loved her reactions but he wanted more. He slid a finger into her entrance and curled the digit to massage her inner walls as he continued to feast on her. Sliding another finger into place, he moved them at a slow pace and moved his other hand underneath her to squeeze her ass. He used the hold to lift her hips fractionally and slid a third finger into her, pushing them into her to his third knuckles. Her hips worked against his fingers, meeting his quickening rhythm and he moved his lips back up her exquisite body, nipping, licking and kissing every inch of flesh he could reach.
When he reached the bottom of her ribcage, she caught him a bit off guard when she pulled his mouth up to hers roughly with her tight hold on his hair. Her mouth felt like fire against his and she moaned his name loudly against his lips. The sound alone had him abandoning his playfulness and pulling his fingers from within her to push his boxers down his hips. She took his length into her hand and squeezed her fingers, pulling hard along the long shaft of his manhood. His mouth pulled away from hers as he moaned and dropped his mouth to her shoulder, biting the soft flesh.
He set his teeth to her neck and growled loudly against her as she stroked the full length of him. Taking her wrist in his hand, he pulled her hand away from him and in one hard thrust, he buried himself in her to the hilt. He groaned and pressed his forehead to hers as he felt her tight walls surround him. He captured the sounds of her moans on his tongue as he kissed her, pulling out of her completely and then slamming back into her hard once more.
Her head fell away from their kiss and he looked down at her, her eyes closed tightly and her hair sticking to the sweat beading on her forehead. He ran his tongue along the length of her throat, savoring her sweet yet salty taste and slid an arm under her around her waist. Shifting his weight, he rolled them so that she straddled his hips, his length still buried inside her. He heard her gasp with the change in position and moved his hands to her hips, grinding them down against him and pushing even deeper into her.
Anna took control of the rhythm, pulling her hips away and then driving down hard and fast on him. His hands roamed her body, not staying anywhere for more than a few seconds as he pistoned his hips up from the bed to meet hers. He felt her walls begin to clench around him and her body started to tremble as her moans became louder and more incoherent. Her fingernails dug into the skin of his chest and he growled at the heightened sensation. Her pace began to slow as her climax neared and he watched as her mouth dropped open mutely, her hands bracing against his chest. He moved his hands back to her hips and squeezed tightly, pulling them back into the fast, hard pace to push her into a more explosive peak.
He moaned loudly and threw his head back, his eyes rolling back into his head as her walls gripped him hard and pushed him to his own release. He used his hold on her hips to control her movements, slowly moving in and out of her entrance to draw out their simultaneous climax and heard her gasping for breath as she laid her forehead against his shoulder, her body lax against him.
He gently pushed her hair over her shoulder and placed a soft kiss to the bend of her neck before rolling them again and pulling out of her gently. He gathered her to him, her back to his chest and buried his nose into the hair behind her ear. He brushed his nose against the outer shell of her ear and sighed softly.
"You know I love you, right," he questioned on a whisper and felt his heart pound when he felt her go still in his arms.
