Book Two: Adaptation

•36•

His smile now amused; he releases my throat as he takes a step back to let me down.

On my feet again, a shiver works its way down my back as his heated gaze sweeps along my body and I bite my lip suddenly feeling shy despite the way I've been acting these past few nights. Because I was the initiator, it was easy to act like I couldn't control myself. That the moment I let Abel put his hands on my body after such a long time, I couldn't get enough of him. I told him I've been needy, but I know it's deeper than that.

I have missed being intimate with my husband, that is not a lie but also, I missed how we used to be before all this drama happened. After we got married, we couldn't keep our hands off each other, and since I was already pregnant, we didn't have to worry about being cautious. Those first few weeks were complete bliss, and then it was crudely ripped away from us.

I'm not saying sex is going to fix our issues or bring back what we had, it's only briefly crossed my mind that we're being reckless, but I can't find it in me to care, this is the best I have right now. It's the only way I know to get that forlorn look off Abel's face, even if it's only for a few minutes.

His eyes meeting mine again, my mind goes blank, so he won't pick up on my troubled thoughts.

"Take your joggers off," he tells me, and my fingers immediately go for the waist of my pants while I toe off my sneakers, I push them down to kick to the side. Noticing my panties, he eyes me, telling me to lose those too, and I do handing them over when he holds out his hand. I'm not surprised when he pushes them in his back pocket as his head falls to the side in boyish like wonder.

"Turn around," he mumbles, his soft voice deep yet smooth, sending delicious ripples of ecstasy down my back straight to my core.

Doing as he says, I turn towards the counter, hyper aware of the heat radiating off his body as he steps up behind me to take my waist. My breath catches, feeling his warm breath on the nape of my neck causing goosebumps to prickle along my skin as he pulls me back against his semi erect bulge.

"It's been a while since we've had a chance to play" he leans down to smooth his lips along the back of my ear as his fingers glide along my thighs leaving a trail of heat in their wake as they go.

"I know. I've wanted to, Daddy," I manage as his lips trace a trail down the back of my neck, making me feel heady.

His arms wrapped around my waist; I bite my lip when he starts kissing along my neck. "Damn, I've missed hearing you call me that." His teeth nipping my skin, my eyes roll to the back of my head as his hands snake under my shirt. My head falling back on his shoulder, I moan softly when he takes hold of my breasts to squeeze before he takes hold of my bra to pull it down.

"You're so fucking soft" he whispers pinching my nipples, the slight sting shooting straight to my core and I squeeze my thighs together feeling my walls pulse with need. "I love the way you react every time I touch you" 

"I can't help it, Daddy, I love the way your hands feel on my body" I respond with a shiver when one of his hands leave my breast to caress along the center of my torso down between my legs and I bite my lip when he finds my clit to run his fingers over it; the simple touch sending waves of intense pleasure all over.

"Mm, you love the way it feels when I touch you here?" he kisses the shell of my ear as he continues to tease me. Tingles ran up and down my back as he draws small circles that drive me crazy.

"Yes" I murmur pushing back against him and I moan when I feel his full erection jump from the pressure, and I gasp when he pinches the nipple he was still playing with even harder; the dull ache spreading intense heat all over before settling deep inside. "Ahh... Daddy" I whimper, pushing up on the tips of my toes, and he chuckles darkly in my ear; the sound causing my walls to clench around nothing, making me crave him in the worst way.
