Treasured by a Tiger (Mate Me Book 6)

16

Caroline came home to Liam asleep on the couch and Preston sitting in a chair with a glass of water in his hand. She smiled, loving the scene the two made. It was a picture she'd hoped to have with Jonas when he retired from the military. Well, life threw many detours and challenges to her life. Now, she had Preston and an amazing son.

"Hello," she said softly so as not to wake Liam.

"Hello beautiful, how was lunch?" Preston stood up and walked over to put a kiss on her lips.

"Refreshing. I talked to them about the issues I'd been having. It appalled them that these men were harassing me. How was your day with Liam? When did you get a car seat?"

"One question at a time," Preston replied with a chuckle. He took her hand and walked her over to the kitchen, where they could talk without waking Liam.

"I bought the car seat after we started dating. I knew family outings would be a possibility. When I bought the car seat, it was to take the responsibility of using your car every time. Our day was great. We went to the hardware store and picked up some things we needed to help finish this place. I am almost done. I'd say in the next week you should be able to move out when you are ready." Caroline smiled and looked around the small one-level cottage.

"It is a perfect place for the night manager to live. They can sleep during the day and work throughout the night. If they need to be home for something, they can just walk home. It is time I give Liam a space of his own away from my work. He is such a sweet kid and always listens, but he deserves more. After a year and a half of hard work, I can give him more."

"You are proud of your work." Preston made it a statement, not a question. Caroline looked at him, surprised he understood so well. "I can see it in your eyes. When you talk about being able to move, you have a look of pride. You brought this place back from the brink of ruin. I've watched you this year and a half and you've grown into your own. When I first asked you out, you weren't ready. Now I can see you are confident in yourself. Being with me changes nothing about you. I am amazed every day at how hard you work." Preston cornered her against the laminate counter, placing a hand on either side of her, caging her in. She watched him lean forward and did nothing to stop him. She needed this kiss. Caroline met him halfway, her arms snaking around his neck to pull him flush against her. Fire raced through her veins. She felt consumed by him when their lips touched. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and let his tongue in to play with hers. He slipped his hands under her thighs to lift her onto the counter. Caroline smiled into their kiss. She'd never kissed a man like this before. Renewed desire flared, urging Caroline to wrap her legs around his waist, pulling him close. His cock pressed against her through his jeans. Wanting more, she rubbed against him, drawing a loud moan.

"Caroline, I need you," Preston growled into their kiss.

"My room, but we have to be quiet," she whispered, trying to catch her breath. Preston lifted her up under her thighs again. This time, he walked down the hall to her room. Shouldering his way into the room, he placed her on the bed gently before turning back to close and lock the door.

"Don't want any interruptions. Too many people have bothered you." He winked and pressed her back onto the bed with another passion-fueled kiss.

"God yes," she groaned. Her need for him was all she could think about. Not wanting to wait, Caroline unbuttoned her shorts, pushing them and her underwear down. Preston caught on and stripped himself. He helped her remove her shirt and bra. When her breasts appeared, Preston made the sexiest rumble in his chest. He slipped a scrunched nipple into his mouth, drawing a breathy moan from her. She ran her hands over his muscular arms and down his incredibly ripped back. Working construction kept him in great shape. Caroline marveled, moving her hands up and down his back, feeling the smooth muscle ripple with each touch.

"Caroline, your hands are driving me crazy." Preston switched to her other nipple, one of his hands coming up to tweak and tug on the one he'd just pleasured. She gasped when he bit down. The pain spread a fresh wave of desire through her. Her pussy throbbed, wanting to be touched. She didn't have to wait long. His free hand made his way down her thick body between her wide thighs to fondle her clit. Caroline bit down on his shoulder to keep her moan quiet. Fear of waking Liam forced her to control her reactions.

"Jesus, Preston." She gripped his arm as shock waves went through her. It had been years since she'd had sex with a man and now Preston was bringing her to orgasm with only a touch.

"Easy baby, let it happen. Don't fight it." Preston kissed a wandering line down her body until he lay between her legs. Caroline took a calming breath and closed her eyes. She trusted Preston. He was her mate. Relaxing her legs, she let him in. The first lick of his tongue had her moaning. One thick finger slipped between her lips into her pussy. "You are tight, baby. Relax, let me love you."

"I know Preston, I'm trying." Caroline felt his chuckle more than heard it. The vibrations went through her pussy. With slow deliberate movements, Preston fucked her with a finger, then two. He curled his fingers, hitting her pleasure spot. Caroline bucked, grinding her hips against his magical hand. Preston increased the speed of his hand, slamming into her G-spot repeatedly. Then he put his tongue on her clit, flicking it with expertise that instantly sent her flying into the clouds. Her orgasm flooded her body, making her limbs weak. Never had she had an orgasm that intense, Jonas never brought her to peak so quickly.

"Mmm, you taste amazing. Do you want to keep going?" Preston asked, crawling up next to her.

"You don't think I'll let you give me one orgasm and then send you on your way. You deserve relief too," she argued, reaching for his engorged cock. Her hand wrapped around steel. The thickness made her mouth water. She wanted to taste him. Not waiting for his permission, she bent over and took the head into her mouth. A hiss slipped out of his mouth, one of his hands going into her hair.
