16. The Gift

...Part Two...

- Troy Lancaster -

With her legs wrapped around my hips, I carry her to the bed and lay her down. Her breasts bounce as she makes contact with the material below her and I begin to unzip my pants. When I'm down to nothing but a pair of briefs, I reach into the nightstand for a condom before tossing it on the bed.

Instead of thrusting inside her right away, I decide to prolong the moment, kissing down her neck to her stomach before flipping her over onto her stomach. I start again at her back and stop when they meet the cheek of her ass. I bend my head to inhale the sweet scent of her folds. She smells sweet and I dip my tongue into the source of her juices, the taste of her exploding on my tastebuds.

Her delicate hands grip the comforter somewhat tightly, the sight making me harder. Knowing it will drive her almost to the edge, I bury my tongue inside her, thrusting it slowly and teasingly while my fingers journey to her clit. I pick up my pace until she's pushing back against my tongue and shatters, my name echoing through the room.

Before I can make my next move, she rises to her feet and seals her lips to mine, her tongue seeking out mine. When the kiss becomes hotter and heavier, I take her hand and bring it down to cup my c**k, showing her just how much I need her. My other hand tangles in her hair, pulling it at the nape. Em surprises me by pushing my hand away and falling to her knees.

Then, the briefs are on the floor next to my feet and her tongue runs along the tip of my c**k. I suck in a breath when she takes me as deep as she can possibly go and release a deep groan. She's able to bob her head a few times before I pull her away and on her feet.

"Turn around and lean over the bed. Hands and knees, baby," I order, not waiting a minute longer.

She does as I ask and I retrieve the condom, rolling it on. I guide her with my hands on her hips until the entrance of her sucks me in. I fill her to the hilt, listening to her breathy moans from the back of her throat and the cries of ecstasy that escape. My thrusts intensify when I notice the white of her knuckles showing as she clutches the comforter of the bed.

"f**k, you feel amazing, baby. Tightest, sweetest, most beautiful cunt I've had," I groan.

The sound of slapping skin and the bed being jolted holds a presence. When I'm close, I bring my hand around to circle her clit with my finger, making her push back to meet my thrusts. She sits up suddenly, her back touching my front and I thrust deeper and harder into her. I crack a palm against her ass and she throws her head back, her delectable folds tightening around me as she succumbs to the release. I follow behind her with a final thrust and a series of grunts.

Em and I collapse to our sides and I cradle her in my arms, kissing her neck. I've never been one to cuddle or spoon, but I crave it with my Ember. The thought of not touching or holding her makes me clench my jaw.

Fuck, I love this woman with everything inside me.

After dressing once more and cleaning up, we head to the gala. Upon our arrival, I notice paparazzi taking pictures of arriving guests from where I sit in the back, Dallas and Xavier in front. The two of them will be keeping an eye on things tonight.

I look towards Em when her fingers tighten in my hand and say, "Forget they're there, baby. I'll be by your side the entire time."

She smiles nervously. "I should be fine, Troy. We have to face them sometime."

I lean in to kiss her just as we come to a stop. Dallas and Xavier open our doors and escort us up the steps of the estate. The press keep away from us, however, their focus is distracted by Tate Grayson who happens to be behind us. I hear Em release a sound of relief and I squeeze her hand, keeping my eyes ahead of me.

After finding our table, my mother and father engage Em in conversation while I excuse myself to become acquainted with tonight's auction. I spot a princess cut ring with sapphires in a display case and smile, knowing I've found what I was looking for.
