Radclyffe - The_Color_of_Love_-_Radclyffe

“Yes, God, yes.” Emily arched her back and wrapped a leg around the back of Derian’s calf. “You make me feel so good.”

“Yes, what? Yes, Derian, I will marry you…” Derian swirled her tongue around a very firm nipple. “Or yes, Derian, I want you to make mad, passionate love to me forever and ever.”

“Both.” Emily clutched Derian’s shoulder. “You are so arrogant. God.”

“You like me that way.”

“Yes, I do. Now, show me just how good you really are.”

Laughing, Derian trailing kisses along the curve of Emily’s breast and down her belly, slipping a hand between them to stroke and tease. “I can’t stop wanting you.”

“Don’t, don’t ever.” Emily’s mind was fragmenting, words deserting her. She rocked to the rhythm of Derian’s caresses and, when a shock wave jolted through her, grasped Derian’s arms. “Hold me. I’m coming.”

Derian gathered Emily up just as Emily cried out against her shoulder, catching a bit of skin and muscle in her teeth. Derian, already breathless and blinded by Emily’s beauty, groaned at the unexpected possession. So damn good. The tension spiraling between her thighs erupted. “Oh yeah.”

Weakly Emily shoved at Derian’s shoulder. “Done. Done, done, done. Go ’way.”

Laughing, Derian rolled onto her side and pulled Emily against her. “You just need a little food, and you’ll recover.”

“I may never get out of this bed.”

“Fine by me, but all the same, I’ll call for room service.”

Emily held on to her a little harder. “Not just yet.”

“Hey, are you okay?” Derian brushed a wisp of a tear from Emily’s cheek. “What’s wrong?”

“Absolutely nothing. Everything is right. I love you so much.”

“I love you. I can’t wait for you to be all mine.”

“I already am,” Emily said with absolute certainty. “But I still plan on marrying you just as soon as we can arrange it.”

“So is this like a pre-honeymoon, then?” Derian kissed her.

“Whatever you like. But you really will have to feed me soon, if you want to keep celebrating.”

“Calling right now.” Derian lunged for the phone.

“And, Derian?”

“Hmm?”

“When room service comes? Don’t forget to put some clothes on. Because from now on, the only one who’s ever going to see you naked is me.”

Derian laughed, already relishing the idea of being all Emily’s. “There must be a robe around here somewhere.”
