Protecting Ellis (Loved by the SEAL #1)

Chapter 16

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Holding Ellis was making his cock swell. He either needed to step away, or she would figure it out fast. Then he saw the change in her eyes, and heat filled her gaze. Guilt filled him. She was still hurting.

“We don’t have?—”

She put her fingers on his lips. “I want to.”

The bruises were mostly gone, and she felt better, so instead of keeping his hands where he could see her skin or planning where to touch based on her bruises, he ran his hands down her body to her butt cheeks. He palmed her ass, loving the feel of her tight little globes.

She pressed against him, her body brushing against his cock. It was too much, and he picked her up so she could wrap her legs around him. She was so light, and he made a mental note to make sure she ate dinner. She needed to gain back the weight she’d lost after the attack.

Right now, he was going to focus on making her come. Once in the bedroom, he relieved her of her clothes and set about bringing her to orgasm. He loved how her nipples grew hard as he licked her and teased her clit with his fingers. She was hot and wet and about ready to blow when he slid two fingers into her. She threw back her head, moaning as she came.

He pushed his pants off and tugged off his shirt before grabbing a condom. When he slid in, he held still for a moment as she adjusted to him.

His gaze met hers, and he knew he had to tell her how he felt. He pulled out and then pushed in slower than he would have liked, but he didn’t want to hurt her. Being inside her felt so good. Over the last few weeks, she’d become his world.

“More!” Ellis begged.

He wanted to give her more but didn’t want to hurt her. He pumped in, and she arched up and met his thrusts. After a moment, she pushed at his shoulder. Worry made him stop moving.

“You okay?”

“Roll over. I want on top.”

He rolled them and helped steady her. She put her hands on his chest and lifted then lowered fast. He gasped as her body slammed down on his. Her eyes rolled up in her head when she did it again.

He wrapped his hands around her waist and helped her lift and lower, pumping her on his cock. It felt so amazing he thought he might come just watching her get on top and riding him.

“So good.” Ellis’s words came out in a deep moan.

He was losing control fast. With her body on display, looking like she was having the time of her life riding his cock, it was too much.

“Ellis, I’m going to come.”

Her gaze linked with his, and it was almost like her eyes glowed as she lifted and then lowered one more time. He gasped and pumped up, his balls pulling so tight it was almost painful. Then release hit, and his whole body shook as he came deep inside her.

She rolled her hips and gasped as she reached between them, her fingers on her clit. Her orgasm was almost too much to take as she squeezed his cock.

After tossing the condom, he lay beside her, feeling like he was the luckiest man in the world. “I can’t get you out of my mind. I want to be with you all the time.”

She ran her hand over his shoulders to his face and cupped his cheek. “I want to be with you.”

“We haven’t been together long, but I’ve fallen in love with you.”

Ellis’s eyes grew bright, and her hand moved to the center of his chest. “Love, yes, that’s what I feel for you. I’ve fallen for you, too.”

“I don’t want you to go back to sleeping at your place. I want you here with me. I know you’re doing better, but I don’t want you to leave.”

She nodded. “I won’t. I wasn’t looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. I like having you close.”

“I’m glad you like being close to me. It’s nice having you in my bed, but it’s also nice just having you with me. I like cooking meals for you and spending time just hanging out.”

Ellis chuckled. “I love hanging out, too. And yeah, it’s nice to have you cooking for me. Speaking of that. We should get up and eat, eventually.”

“Oh, I want to order pizza.”

“Are you sure? We could just eat a sandwich.”

“Yeah. I had a rough day, and you spent time being physically active. You need some extra calories. I’ll order on my phone.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

“Sure.” He liked that he knew exactly what kind of pizza she liked. He knew a lot about what she liked and didn’t like. When they’d talked about food she enjoyed he paid attention and she deemed to know what he liked. It made him feel good that they both were so into each other that they took note of likes and dislikes.

He found it funny that her biggest quirk was her shoes had to be lined up a certain way when she took them off. If they were messed up, she had to fix them. He had quirks, and not once had she complained about his little idiosyncrasies. She never got upset when he checked the peephole before opening the door or if he did a scan of the area before turning off the engine or parking. There was little chance they would run into problems while out running errands or at the apartment, but he was always on alert.

She accepted him for who he was, and that felt amazing. That she also loved him made him feel great. He hoped she could deal with his schedule once it got rough again because, sure as the sun rose in the east, his schedule would become complicated.
