Patiently, he sat back and watched her decide. Finally, she crawled back across the bed to him, then stopped without turning around. “Do you want me on my back?”
Tempting, but . . . “No.” He wanted her absolutely vulnerable, where she couldn’t see what he was doing but would have to simply trust him.
She bit her lip. Tyler saw her tension rise. He made her nervous. She had good reason to be. A faint smile fell across his mouth. He wasn’t playing her bullshit game. He planned to get closer than ever and make her feel him in a way she never had. So she’d never again doubt that he meant to have all of her, now and always.
Still, she hesitated. “I’m, um, sore.”
Stunning that she’d lie simply to put distance between them. Definitely, he had to fucking address that now.
“I’ll keep that in mind. Turn around, Del.”
She swallowed. “Can’t we take a shower? It will ease my muscles, and I can, um, suck you.”
Nice offer, but far more impersonal than what he had in mind. “Either come back here, in the position I’ve indicated, or tell me what the hell is really bothering you. Because I haven’t fucked you enough to be sore. When I have, you’ll feel it.”
Del hesitated, debated, then took a breath to steel herself. Then she turned around, bent over, with her ass exposed and her pussy looking all swollen, wet, and vulnerable.
Knowing a bit about Xander, Tyler suspected he’d find exactly what he needed in the nightstand drawer. Silently, he padded over and opened it. Bingo! Grabbing it quickly, he stood behind Del again. She looked over her shoulder at him with vulnerable blue eyes.
“Talk to me, angel.”
She blinked, and the look was gone. “Nothing to say.”
More crap. There was plenty left unsaid, and if she didn’t want talk now, they’d get to it soon.
In the meantime . . . Tyler unscrewed the cap on the tube in his hand and squeezed out a healthy dose of lube, realizing this could backfire on him in a major way. They hadn’t discussed anal sex, and she had no experience with it. But he had more than enough to know that no act was more intimate. She’d be allowing him where no other man had been. And she’d feel every inch of him inside her, all through her. She wouldn’t know how to counter the pleasure or put up barriers between them. He’d strip away all this fronting and get strictly to him and her and whatever she was trying to hide.
He slathered the lube on his cock with one hand, then grabbed her hair in his fist with the other. “I told you we were going to do things my way. I want this. I want to give this to you. I want you to feel it because I intend to make sure this is unlike any experience you’ve ever had. And when it’s over, we’re going to talk, and you’re going to tell me whatever is in that head of yours that you’re hiding from me.”
Before she could deny it again, he rubbed the rest of the lube on his fingers across the untried rosette of her ass.
Finally understanding, Del gasped. “Tyler, I don’t—”
“You haven’t yet,” he corrected. “But you will. Because you can, and there’s no reason to hold back from me, angel. I’m going to make it so good for you.”
To bring his point home, he pressed one finger into her back entrance. She gasped. Her hips wriggled. Trying to seat him deeper or dislodge him? He wasn’t sure, but the result was that his entire finger slid all the way into her hot depths.
Fuck, she felt beyond hot and tight. He wasn’t going to last long once he got his cock in there, but it was going to be one sweet ride. Nothing ever felt like Del, and knowing that he was the first—and the last—man to take her this intimately was going to blow the top of his head off.
He withdrew for a moment, then pressed two fingers inside her ass. Del didn’t gasp this time. She moaned, a little involuntary animal sound of pleasure.
“It’s going to feel even better when it’s my cock back here, angel. You think you feel every touch now? Just wait. I’m going to fuck you so deep and slow, there’s no way you’re going to be able to deny the pleasure. You’ll absolutely feel every inch of me, totally joined with you.”
And he was going to use every weapon he had to get under her defenses, strip her bare, and overcome her objections. As far as he was concerned, he’d tear down a cement wall with his bare hands to get to her. Whatever emotional barriers she was trying to erect now should be no match for his determination.
Slowly, he slid his hand out of her hair, caressing his way down her spine, circling her waist, before he slid over her belly, then between her thighs to rub her tender, swollen flesh. She might be slightly sore, but more than anything, she was needy. Her cunt wept, and when he put his fingers over her clit, her body leapt to life, bucking. She tossed her head back, and the spill of her dark hair across her skin, almost to her ass, turned him on even more. Everything about this woman—her intelligence and determination, the way she loved his son unconditionally, the fact that she represented home for him—all made her downright perfect.
With his right hand, he lined his cock up with her little rosette and gently pushed in until his head began to breach her tissue.
“Tyler.” Her body went taut, and she was already clawing the sheets.
It was nerves, not pain. He hadn’t tried to push past the tight ring of her muscle. Yet.
“Relax, angel. I’m not going to hurt you.”
She was panting. “You’re big. And you’re going to get too deep.”
Tyler heard the fear in her voice, and he caressed her hip, trying to gentle her. “Yeah, I’m going to get deep. Very deep. But there’s no such thing as too deep, angel.” He pressed his hand into the small of her back. “Arch for me.”
She succumbed to his demand, and he focused on his cock sinking into her body. He parted the cheeks of her ass with his fingers and watched her body slowly accept him.
Finally, the thick ridge of his flesh encountered the barrier of her tight muscles. Tyler pressed his thumbs across her tense lower back, then caressed her hips again. “Relax. Just take a deep breath and push out.”
To entice her, he brushed his fingertips across her clit again. She gasped instantly and arched a bit more. The action opened her up just enough that the head of his cock slipped past that tight ring. After a little scream of panic, she gasped long and low. Fuck, she was like a burning vise, pressing in from all sides with a heat he’d never known.
Forcing himself to move slowly, he penetrated her, sliding down, down, down into the tightest recesses of her body. Beneath him, her head thrashed, and she clawed at the sheets.
