Suddenly a Bride Read online

  He squeezed her hand in return. “I’ll always be on your side.”

  While she drove out of the parking lot, he turned his attention to the scenery and sighed in contentment. In a week, they would be moving into their new home. He was looking forward to it. They would not only be closer to the base, but they’d be closer to the beach, and he liked the beach a lot.

  To his surprise, she didn’t take him back to the apartment. Instead, she pulled over to a deserted place with trees sheltering them from view of anyone else. He frowned and looked at her. “Why did you stop here?”

  “I figured since we’re renewing our vows today, it might be fun to renew our bond.” With a wink, she jumped out of the car and went to his side. Opening his door, she placed a hand on her hip and offered him a seductive smile. “Care to join me in the backseat?”

  As if she had to ask! He undid the seatbelt and got out of the car so he could get into the back. She joined him and shut the door so the air conditioner could continue to cool things off. They weren’t radiating heat from their bodies this time, but he learned that being stuck in a car that didn’t have the air conditioner running was a killer. He gave the car no more thought as she pulled off her panties and unbuttoned his pants.

  “So we’re acting out the bonding ceremony?” he asked, his voice betraying his excitement as she unzipped his pants and slid her hand into them so she could rub him.

  “Yes,” she whispered and slipped her fingers under his briefs.

  A moan escaped his lips at the flesh on flesh contact. She had a way with touching him that drove him crazy. Her hand descended further and wrapped around his erection before squeezing it. His body tingled with pleasure.

  She leaned forward and kissed him, her tongue brushing his as he reached up and cupped her breasts. Even with the sundress on and her bra preventing him from feeling her bare flesh, she was amazing. When she ended the kiss, her eyes met his and she gave him another smile. “I love you, Chris. I want to bond with you, to be your life mate. What do you say? Want to be my life mate?”

  Excited, he nodded. “I wouldn’t have any other.”

  He couldn’t help but recall the first time they’d been together this way, how new and wonderful it was to be intimate with her. This time, she was choosing to bond with him, and though it wasn’t the real bonding ceremony, he was enjoying this one much more.

  She backed away from him and pulled his pants and underwear down to his ankles. Lifting her dress up to her waist, she straddled him and let the dress fall back down.

  He slid his hands under her dress and cupped her butt. He guided her hips up and down, enjoying the friction as she rubbed against him. She gave a slight gasp and bit her lower lip as she followed his lead. Unlike last time, he was the one in control, and he watched her as she closed her eyes, her face revealing her concentration as she focused on riding him. As much as he longed to be inside her, he wanted to get her to climax.

  When she had established a steady rhythm, he let his hands travel up her back and to her bra. He unhooked it, slid his hands under it so he could brush and tease her nipples, knowing it intensified her pleasure as her hips continued moving up and down.

  With a groan, he threw her dress and bra off. His fingers brushed her hardened nipples, teasing and rubbing them until she cried out and stopped. Her body shuddered over him and he looked back at her face, satisfied to see her expression at a cross between pleasure and pain. Shifting his hips, the tip of his erection found her entrance and went into her, noting how she clenched around him.

  “Yes, Chris,” she moaned.

  He loved it when she said his name. It meant she was thinking of him.

  She leaned forward and kissed his lips, his cheeks and his neck. He moaned and thrust deeper into her, his movements growing faster and more urgent. And when he reached the peak, he cried out while she held him close to her. He remained suspended in the moment, wishing he could stay there longer but knowing he couldn’t. His heart pounding loudly in his ears, he relaxed and settled back into the seat, his breathing heavy and his head light. He barely had enough energy to wrap her in his arms as she snuggled up to him.

  “That was incredible,” she whispered.

  “Yes,” he managed while he tried to focus on where he was.

  She giggled and kissed him. “What do you say we spend all weekend at home, wear absolutely nothing, and continue to bond?”

  With a chuckle, he said, “I’d like nothing more.”

  “Good because I got tomorrow off too.”

  “You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, Caitlyn,” he whispered, opening his eyes and smiling at her.

  “You’re the best thing that’s happened to me too.” She gave him another kiss, this one longer than the one before.

  He reached up and cupped her breasts. “You know, I can go again.”

  “So soon?”

  “Well, I do feel loved.” His erection was beginning to grow inside of her. “I guess I didn’t tell you that part. If a woman opts for the bonding, it has a very pleasant effect on a certain part of the male anatomy. I know I can come again.”

  She kissed him again, this time letting her tongue brush his.

  “We just might never make it home.”

  She moaned as he kissed her neck. “Oh, I’m sure we will…eventually.” Then she was renewing their bond, once again.
