Holding On

One

"Shhh" he whispered into my ear.

The feeling of his warm breath on my skin brought chills to my neck. I could feel him hovering over me, the weight and heat of his body caging me in.

The feeling of his fingers caused me to stir beneath him. They trailed my stomach stopping just inches above my night shorts, eliciting goosebumps in their wake.

I knew it had to have been early in the morning because he was still here, he hadn't left for work yet. Not even giving me the chance to open my eyes and meet the day he was already worshipping my body.

"You know why I love mornings?" His voice is still next to my ear, one hand above my waist band and the other holding himself up. I could feel the heat of his arm besides my head caging me in.

For the first time this morning, I opened my eyes. It was still dark and I could barely make out the figure above me but he was there alright. All 6 foot 3, broad muscle, and unmistakable green eyes that armed Dante Brown were above me. I didn't need a speck of light to understand that my man was hovering above me.

I smiled up at him, taking my own hand to the back of his head and wrapping it in his hair.

"No," I whispered softly.

I could see his lips move up in a curve as he came closer to my ear one more time.

"Because I get to spend them with you." As the words left his mouth, his hand near my waistband finally slipped beneath them and travelled downward. My body was hyper aware of every single touch and I could barely breathe by the time he reached the top of my underwear.

"You're so corny." I smiled but was clearly breathless from his touch. I moved my hand down his back, being met with the hard and soft ridges of muscle from his lack of shirt while sleeping.

I felt him smile next to my ear and then closed my eyes as his lips made contact with my neck.

His fingers slipped beneath my underwear and I grabbed his neck in a tight grip. He lowered his body as close as he could get while keeping his hand between my legs.

His fingers found my clit and with slow circular motions, he brought my heart rate right up.

"I may be corny, but my hand is in your pants giving you an orgasm before you've even gotten up for the day. Therefore I think corny wins." He nipped my ear and continued circling his fingers.

My god. I closed my eyes tilting my head back, focusing solely on the sensation of his fingers. It felt amazing. My body still heavy with sleep and mind still foggy, I was overrun with the sensation of him.

I could feel the warmth in my stomach start to spread as he continued his touch on my clit. I moved my hand to the front of his body now, feeling along the ridges of his tight abs. Then slowly, I moved my hand lower to the waistband of his pants, loving the way he tensed beneath my fingertips.

His own fingers moved downward and slowly, he slipped one in. I was embarrassingly wet just from his words and from the short touch between my thighs.

"I love feeling you move beneath me. I love everything about you." He whispered once more and this time I really felt as if I couldn't breathe as he started moving his finger in a slow agonizing motion.

"Fuck," I breathed out, my heart racing. The feel of his finger inside me along with the heat of his mouth on my neck was too much for the morning.

He slowly sped up his finger, using his thumb to circle my clit.

"I want to hear you when you cum." He said louder this time, almost out of breath himself. I gripped the waistband of his pants to ground me.

My body was warm and I could feel the familiar tightness of an orgasm start to build in my lower stomach.

He moved his mouth from my neck to my chin, his lips just a light touch along my jaw until they met my own. Without a moment of hesitation he brought his lips to my own devouring my mouth like it was his own breakfast.

I could taste mint on his tongue as if he'd already gotten up to brush his teeth just to kiss me in bed.

His fingers continued to bring me to the edge in my pants and I tried to keep up with him as his lips moved feverishly on my own.

As his pace picked up and the movement of his thumb on my clit got harder and faster, that pit in my stomach grew. And before I knew it the crash of an orgasm overcame me.

"Fuuck, Dante," I pulled my mouth away throwing my head into the pillow as the orgasm cascaded through me. It felt so good, my body was buzzing in the aftermath.

He removed his hand from my underwear, pecked my lips and then rolled off my body leaving behind a slight chill from the loss of his body heat.

"Wait, what about you?" I turned to my side and watched his back as he checked the time on his phone.

"Babe it's already 6:30, I need to be out of the house in 30 minutes. If I stay any longer I won't ever make it out." He turned his head and smirked and then stood up.

My eyes roamed his body as he walked around the room collecting things he needs for the day. His pajama pants gave away just enough for me to know how cold his shower was about to be.

"I have a meeting at 8. Is Tatum still coming over with Ray today?" He asked me while opening the bathroom door and stepping in.

"Yes I believe so, we talked last night."

I moved so I was sitting up and brought the blankets with me. It was always cool in the morning in our penthouse, and I usually love it because it's just more of an excuse to move closer to Dante in the bed if he hasn't left for work.

"Alright, I should be back by 5pm but you know these days are long." He sighed and then I heard the shower turn on.

"I know. Enjoy the cold shower Brown." I smiled and looked over to the bathroom.

He stuck his head around and while smirking he stuck up his middle finger and slammed the door in my face.

My laugh bubbled out of my chest and I fell down into the pillows curling up under the covers to get a few more hours of sleep.

Just as I was drifting off again, without fail like every morning, I felt the warm lips of my fiance press down on my forehead.

"You'll pay for that later." He said, promise clear in his voice.

And with that he was out the door.
