  “Mmm, it’s so good babydoll. After so many years not having home cooking but once in a great while, a man learns to appreciate when he gets a spread like this. Thank you baby.”

  “You’re welcome sugar. You got me so distracted I didn’t make dessert though. I may have ice cream in the freezer now that I think about it if you have a sweet tooth.”

  He grinned and pointed his fork at her. “You’re my dessert.”

  Miki dropped her fork and blushed when it clanged on the plate, hurriedly picking it up and lowering her eyes.

  “Aww are you embarrassed babydoll?” He was teasing her mercilessly and enjoying every second of it.

  “You’re so bad Noah Cane, such a wicked, teasing, evil man.” She stood and scraped off her plate in the trash with a soft little smile on her lips.

  “But, I’m glad we’re on the same wave length because I was thinking I’d rather have you for dessert too.”

  He growled and dropped his fork to his empty plate and stood up, carrying his dishes and putting them in the soapy water she just ran.

  “Then I guess I better help you clean up here so we can get to that huh?” He started washing the dishes while she put up the left overs.

  “I guess you better.”

  The smile left his face when he saw that she was serious. Then he felt lightheaded, probably from blood loss to the brain, all her fault of course. For once, he was speechless, or maybe it was just that he was concentrating on getting his job done fast so he could sample dessert. Either way he was having a hard time keeping from growling and snatching her up to carry her off to bed.

  Chapter 15

  “I’m going to go jump in the shower while you finish up here.” She popped his butt with a towel and walked off.

  “Ouch, you little brat!” he grumbled. His body was rigid. The little minx was getting the hang of the teasing game that was for sure. It didn’t take long for him to finish, pour them both a glass of red wine, and then turn off the lights in the kitchen and dining area. He headed for her bedroom, setting the glasses on the nightstand and pulling his shirt over his head. He could smell her soap. Feel the steam coming from the bathroom. It was quite literally killing him. Coconut and honey with a hint of vanilla. It was her. Long as he could remember she had always smelled so sweet, so sultry. The bathroom door opened and steam rolled out along with her, wrapped in a fluffy pink robe that barely reached mid-thigh. His tongue felt thick in his mouth, and his ability to speak was momentarily stalled.

  “Making yourself comfortable?” She smiled and went to her vanity, grabbed a comb and started untangling her long red locks. When she crossed her thighs, he got a glimpse of the curve of her lily white bottom and growled, standing up fast, walking to the bathroom and turning the water on. Her giggle followed him. The wicked little minx was enjoying her teasing game.

  Miki finished untangling her hair, blow drying it some and thinking about how sexy his chest was as he had stalked off to the bathroom. She went and shut her bedroom door so she could dress. Digging through her lingerie drawer she found a matching bra and panty set that was scarlet red. Slipping that on she went to her closet to find a nightgown or maybe a long t-shirt. By that time he got out of the shower, wrapped a towel around his waist and walked in her bedroom.

  “Don’t you know how to knock?! Go away I’m getting dressed!” He growled and stalked up to her, one arm wrapping her waist and pulling her tight against him and the other popped her on her bottom, twice.” “Ow! What was that for?” Noah grinned at her and kissed her frown.

  “That’s for shutting the damn door in the first place. I want to be able to ogle you anytime I want and doors hinder that.” He said it in such a way he sounded offended she would dare hide her body from him. It made her laugh and so she kissed him. So many times they started getting breathless again. Both of his strong hands cupped her bottom, lifting her, and then tucked her legs around his waist while he sat on her bed.

  She pulled back and grinned “And just what do you think you are doing Romeo?” He was starting to like the way she called him that. She was so damn cute and that smirking little smile made him turn into putty for her. “I’m making out with my sexy girl. You gotta problem with that babydoll?” Shaking her head and nuzzling her face into his neck she whispered in his ear “Don’t you think you should let me get dressed, I am nearly naked here you know and it’s cold in the house tonight, not to mention you are only dressed in a towel.”

  “Mmm babydoll that just makes me want to warm you up…” His mouth covered hers and he turned to lay her on her back and cover her body with his. She fit against him perfectly. So soft and she smelled so good he wanted to lick her from head to toe. But he didn’t. He had promised her he wouldn’t push so he didn’t. He was content to make love to her mouth and stroke her face and neck. Little love bites across her chest and twining his fingers with hers and drawing her arms above her head so he could kiss down her neck and nibble the skin on either side of her bra strap.

  With long strokes he began licking her side and nibbling across her stomach to lick over her navel and enjoy the soft little purrs and cries she made. He released her fingers and slid his hands down the underside of her arms all the way down her sides to grasp her hips. He looked up at her and growled. God she looked so beautiful, passionate, and so lovely it made him ache inside. Her beauty was such a contrast to all the ugliness he saw in war, all the death and destruction that was burned into the memories that haunted him. That look in her eyes when she gazed at him so lovingly touched him ways she may never understand. Then again, considering all she had suffered, maybe she was the one person that could understand. The one person that could heal him, and maybe, just maybe he could help her heal as well.

  Her delicate little hand reached out and touched his face. He nuzzled into it and kissed the palm of her hand. “I love you Mikayla.” His voice sounded raw and it was as if then, right there with her splayed so beautifully, giving him her love and trust, that she bandaged a piece of his heart. It surprised him so much that he felt the emotion clawing the back of his throat.

  “I love you too Noah. Maybe more than you could even imagine. You…you saved me.” Her eyes were damp and he understood the power of the moment, he felt it too. His tongue slipped over her navel again and dipped lower, lower still until he teased over the band of her panties, watching her hips lift just a little. Kisses feathered down her thighs and back up again, one after the other, not rushed, light and tender, worshiping her beautiful lush body.

  He could smell her sweet arousal. It was intoxicating and he could hardly stand not touching her more, tasting all of her. His thumbs hooked the sides of her panties and she looked at him all glossy eyed and whispered his name “Oh Noah…” His rumbling growl tickled her inner thigh, making her purr, lifting her hips again. This time he slipped them down gently, just enough he could see the top of her mound and that sweet peeking slit. “I need to taste you Miki…I don’t want to rush you if you’re not ready, so tell me now if you aren’t.” His voice cracked and she reached to touch his face and lifted her hips again, whispering once more. “Please Noah, please, I don’t know what to ask for, what to do, but please baby…”

  He slipped them off her hips and tucked her knees over his shoulders, pressing his mouth on her sex, growling as his tongue slipped between her slick lips and found her nub of desire, lathing it with his tongue. Large hands slid up her curves and squeezed her breasts, pushing her bra over her breasts so he could stroke her freely. He pinched and rolled her taut nipples, pulling them lightly as his mouth learned every intimate part of her.

  She cried out and rolled her hips up, fingers grasping the sheets as her eyes slammed shut. He would never forget the way she looked the first time she felt his tongue. He was hard as steel just from that first exquisite taste. His angel girl was lost in pleasure, the pleasure he was giving her. He slowly swirled the tip of his tongue over her button in slow lazy circles, flicking and flicking until she shuddered
and choked out his name. He wanted her to fall apart with his mouth on her, listening to his name leaving her lips when she reached her peak.

  His mouth slipped down so his tongue could slither into her tight wet heat, fucking her just like he would soon with his cock. God she tasted so good, sweet and salty. Her cries were faster, shorter whimpers, her breath hitching. She was close. Her thighs were quivering on his shoulders and clasping the sides of his face. It was time, time to push her over the edge and catch her. So he did. Lips locking around her clit and sucking it gently a moment, then scraping his teeth over it, tugging and feathering his tongue over it until she screamed out his name and bucked, coming for him, on him, her sex quivering and dripping sweet honey onto his tongue. He lapped at her, drinking her in and pressing soft, tender kisses on her mound and the softness of her thighs and belly.

  He moved up her body gently and gathered her in his arms, rolling to his side and cradled her to him, his towel lost in the sheets as he moved up to hold her. Softly stroking her back and kissing her face while he held her shaking body. Miki nuzzled her face against his neck and kissed him there tentatively, her arm creeping around his waist with sharp little nails digging the small of his back. He was trembling still, his cock ramrod straight and throbbing but he just pulled her closer and loved on her.

  “Noah?” Her voice was barely above a whisper. He kissed the top of her head “Yeah…” Her warm mouth brushed his neck again and he growled before he could stop it and she giggled. The little minx giggled! Miki squirmed closer and slipped her thigh between his, scratching her nails over his back again, shyly whispering “Noah will you teach me how to do that for you? I have an idea what should happen, but I don’t know for sure and I…I want to make you feel so good, like you did for me.” He groaned and rolled to his back trying so damn hard not to just take her.

  Her sweetness, her innocence and honesty ripped him to shreds. “Did I say something wrong Noah?” She sounded so unsure he immediately felt like an ass for pulling away and turned to tug her back against him. “Of course you didn’t say anything wrong babydoll. You just damn near made me come apart just saying it and I was trying not to maul you.” He laughed and nuzzled his face in her vanilla scented hair.

  Her laugh was joyous and purely that of feminine pleasure in discovering she affected him so strongly. Soft hands reached out to stroke, seek and learn the dips and ridges of his stomach, nails tickling over his chest and smooth fingertips padding over flat male nipples. Noah’s body tensed and he very nearly died when she leaned in, tongue darting out and slipping over his nipple, first one, and then the other. His hand rubbed up the back of her neck and caressed her hair, gripping it tighter when she nipped his skin and traced her tongue down the middle of his chest. Stopping she looked up at him and smiled that little sweet grin of hers as she kissed his mouth, tongue slipping inside to swipe over his tongue, tiny pin prick nails burying in his stomach making him growl.

  Miki pulled back and purred. “I can taste me on your tongue Noah…” He smiled and licked her lips kissing her again. “Seductive little beauty, you taste sweeter than heaven.” Her smile was replaced with something else. Something…wicked. “I want to taste you now Noah.” He swallowed hard and choked out a groan when her tongue lathed down his chest, taking time to nip sharp teeth over the flat pads of his nipple. When he gasped she answered with a purr, and dipped down to swirl around his navel, teasing him like he teased her. He tried to remain still but when her little hand rubbed his length, his hips thrust up on their own and she purred. God she purred and his fingers tightened in her hair, unsure whether he should pull her away before he lost himself like a teenage boy, or toss her on her back and make love to her. But she needed this. Needed to feel comfort in being able to learn his body, explore their sexuality together with no burdens or boundaries. So he braced himself and gentled his hand in her hair while her mouth teased over his stomach, making his muscles jump and jerk. Her grin was endearing. She was clearly enjoying her teasing game and seeing his responses. Miki looked up at him and tickled tongue down the fine line of hair that led to his jutting sex. Her fingers lightly stroked over him while she kissed along his hip. She blushed then, even now after the intimacy they had shared, her cheeks were a rosy pink. It didn’t stop her though. She blew her warm breath across his length and he couldn’t help but let out a soft moan. He was so aroused that just her hair drifting over the skin of his thighs had his mind in a jumble.

  Miki brushed her lips down the crease of his hip and looked at him as her small soft hand reached to wrap her fingers around him. He growled low in his throat and gripped the sheets. She took that as a good response and slipped her hand softly up his shaft and bent to kiss just the tip. “Dear god Miki you are gonna kill me babydoll.” She laughed and stroked again, kissing down the underside of his cock and whispering. “Tell me what to do Noah, I want to please you.” He took a deep breath and reached to cover her hand with his, showing her the pressure that felt so good, and the speed to stroke her hand. She smiled up at him and furrowed her brow, concentrating, stroking him just like he showed her until he had pre-cum dripping from the tip of his cock. When she lowered her head and slid her tongue over it, his entire body went rock solid. She purred. “Fuck” he groaned out while she purred like a content little kitten, right before she wrapped her lips around him and drew him into her mouth, sliding up and down. Fingers instantly were twined in her hair and he moaned long and deep. Never had he ever felt such pleasure.

  Her fingers gently stroked his sac as her mouth continued to delight in all that was him until his fingers, now tightly cinched in her hair pulled her up until she her slick lips released him. She breathless and licked her lips, stroking him. “Does it feel good Noah?” He stroked her cheek and nodded, his voice husky with desire “It feels more amazing than I ever dreamed love.” Her smile slayed him, he felt the heat of her mouth encase him again and he thrust up, her answering purr over his sensitive erection had him shaking wildly “Fuck babydoll I’m gonna come.” he tried to pull her back, not sure how she’d react if he exploded in the warm confines of her mouth, but she wouldn’t let him pull away or push her back. He watched as she took more of him, all of him in her mouth just as he yelled her name and came, slicking her tongue with his desire for her. Her eyes closed and she made that sweet little sound again. His sweet kitten, lapping at him until he was so sensitive he couldn’t take any more, reaching for her, pulling her up his body, kissing her long and hard.

  It was like that, they stayed for a while, kissing and petting. Miki knew she needed to study for her finals that were starting in the morning, but she didn’t want to pull away from him. Instead she used her dainty fingertips over his chest and sides, caressing each scar, some old and some new. He was enjoying her touch because he rolled to his stomach and smiled at her. He was letting her get familiar with his body. Allowing her free reign to touch and feel his skin. See his scars. Noting the scatter of little scars still puffy and red, that ran down his back and the larger ones on his right leg. They didn’t seem to slow him down much even though since he’d come home from war he walked with a limp due to his prosthetic leg. He was still so incredibly sexy it made her mouth water to look at him. He caught her staring and gave her a soft but distant smile.

  “I told you I had scars from my injuries. I know they look pretty hideous, do they bother you much Miki?” The uncertainty in his eyes made her heart ache and she fell even more in love with him in that moment. She placed her hands on his cheek and kissed him tenderly

  “They don’t bother me at all love, other that wanting to shred whoever it was that had a hand in hurting you. I’m just so thankful you’re alive and well Noah. I couldn’t imagine my life without you baby. I think each scar is mark of honor and I want to kiss each one and show you just how sexy I think you are. All of you, even the scars, you’re a hero Romeo, never be ashamed of the marks on your skin.”

  He felt relieved. He had worried she would think him les
s a man but he should have known better. His Miki girl wasn’t like that. She had always been proud of him, proud of his work and his abilities. His breath caught when she kissed the scar on his left shoulder. It was one from having had rotator cuff surgery about 4 years ago. Her lips softly kissed along the scar, moving on down, not missing a single scar and he had many on that side, most from the IED shrapnel.

  It was hard for him to stay still and let her inspect him and lovingly kiss him like that. He wanted to gather her in his arms and tell her how much he loved her, beg her to marry him, make love to her and make her his. Patience, he had to have patience. It was humbling how sweet she was. How tender. Her lips moved down his back, across his scars on his hip and the back of his bad leg. She crawled over him and pressed her tiny kisses along his right side, fingertips still tracing his skin lovingly. By the time she got to his right shoulder and kissed the scar that ran along there and licked the back of his neck, biting down and sucking his skin he was rock hard again.

  He turned to his back and kissed her, biting her full bottom lip and sucking it while he stroked his hands down her back and cupped her bottom. Her soft mewling cry when he squeezed her and pulled her against his sex set him on fire. But she was determined to finish what she started. Breaking the kiss she moved down his chest, kissing each angry red scar on his left side while she straddled his waist. Her lips moved to the right side of his chest, tongue swirling over his SEAL tattoo. It had to be one of the sexiest things he’d ever experienced, her pink tongue tracing the lines and kissing him there. He felt so loved, cherished, head over heels in love with her. His fingers tangled in her hair and pulled her mouth to his, kissing her again before letting her continue her torturous exploration.
