Chunky But Funky (4 page)

The second he entered Amanda, Dalton knew he’d come home. This was what he’d been missing his entire adult life. Not just the sex—which he knew was going to be beyond mind blowing—but the connection. The feeling of belonging. Unfortunately, Amanda still wasn’t convinced. Why she was resisting, he didn’t know. He only knew that she wanted him, even as she struggled to keep her heart separate from her sexual need.

“Look at me,” he said gently. When she did, he lowered himself fully on her, something he’d never felt comfortable doing with a woman before. With Amanda, he was compelled to imprint his body on hers, to wrap himself around her until she could never get away from him. “Tell me what’s bothering you.” He flexed his hips once, just stifling a groan, not even coming close to stifling the shudder that ran through his body.

She nibbled her bottom lip. Dalton wanted to press but knew it wasn’t the best course of action. One thing being a Marine had taught him was patience. Drawing on every bit of his training, he waited her out, giving her time to form her reply.

“I’m just
…
”
She took a deep breath, closing her eyes. “I’m not the kind of girl men like you usually fall for. And I really find stand for this to be a one-night fling or, worse, something temporary until you found the tall, leggy blonde you want to settle down with.”

He blinked at her. Then chuckled. Then out right guffawed.

Amanda tried to shove him off her with a disgusted sound, but he merely rolled them over so she straddled his lap, his cock still buried deep. “You ape!”

“What? It was funny. Admit it!”

“Was not! I’m serious! You’ve always had these skinny-assed blondes hanging all over you, worshiping your Marine badassness. Never once did you indicate you wanted to get with a chubby black chick.”

He shrugged. “Why
wouldn’t
I want to?”

Her mouth dropped open, a scathing reply obviously on her lips. Before she could utter a word, however, he added. “Why wouldn’t I want to be when the woman I’ve longed for since that first kiss when she was in high school is exactly that?” He
grin
ned. “I don’t want a substitute and I don’t want some skinny chick with bones sticking out everywhere. I want the real thing. I want a woman who can give as good as she gets.” At her pouting expression, he framed her face in his big hands, pulling her to lie on top of him. “Besides, what the hell would I do with a skinny chick anyway? I’d break her in half with my lust.” When she shuddered, he bucked his hips, driving into her with a lazy stroke. “I’m a big man, Amanda. I crave a woman who can take all I have to give and come back for more. Your body is strong—your curves cradle me like a baby in a blanket. The only question is, are your needs for me as strong as mine are for you?”

“Dalton, I—” He cut her off by pulling her face to him for a searing kiss. There was no gentle lover this time. Now he was as wild as he had been in the ally. She’d responded to him then. Would she now?

She was so soft, so responsive, Dalton just wanted to wrap her up in his arms and keep her there, making love to her forever. With a sigh, she wrapped her legs around him as he wrapped his arms around her, each holding the other tightly. For the first time in his adult life, Dalton wasn’t afraid of hurting the woman he was with. All those curves had always been sexy as hell, but damn if he hadn’t truly realized why they appealed to him before now.
She was made just for him!
With that knowledge, he shuddered, his cock pulsing inside her.

“God, Amanda,” he bit out, his control slipping. “I’ve never felt anything so good as this! You. Are.
Perfect
!”

With those words, Amanda screamed, her little pussy clenching around him, milking him as if she were desperate for his seed. Truth was, Dalton was desperate to give it to her. He needed this like he needed to breathe. Heart so full of love for her he thought it would burst, Dalton slid one hand to her shoulder from behind her, gripping her more tightly to him, while the other hand found the soft globe of her ass. Could he possibly hold her any tighter? He doubted it. And still he surged inside her.

“Dalton,” she gasped, “come with me. Please. I need...”

“Are you sure, baby? I’m not using—”

“Just fucking do it! Oh, God! Give it to me
hard
, Dalton! I’m coming,
now
!”

He wasn’t waiting for an engraved invitation. Speeding up his movements, he held out until Amanda’s back bowed once more, her pelvis tilting to meet his frenzied thrusts with her own. When she did, he slammed into her as hard and fast as he could manage, his cock swelling almost unbearably with the need to come. Finally, after what seemed like a lifetime, Dalton let himself go completely. With any other woman, his pleasure would be dimmed with the need to temper his strength. Not only could Amanda take him, she practically
begged
him to give it to her.

When he came, it was like a geyser. He flooded her channel, his seed filling her up, bathing her inside. Her scream of completion only fueled his own orgasm, her cunt milking him, grasping his cock like a silken fist, taking what she wanted with force.

At last, he collapsed over her. He started to roll off her, but she refused to let him, keeping him pinning her to the bed.

“I don’t want to smother you, baby. Let me up.”

“No,” she said, her lips finding his neck as she kissed and licked lazily. “I like you on top of me. It feels wonderful.”

Just like that, his cock twitched with renewed interest. Amanda giggled, squeezing him right back.

“Vixen,” he chuckled. “Let me clean us up and we’ll snuggle until I recover a little more.”

“Feels like you’re well on your way,” she teased. Then she grew serious, her eyes clouding over with worry. “Are you really staying with me? I’m not a weak woman, but where you’re concerned, I have no defenses. I’ve had a crush on you since that first night you kissed me. No matter how innocent it was.”

“It was only innocent to everyone else. I’d been wanting to do it for about an hour or so. The second you walked in the damned gate.”

“Why did you wait so long for this? You had to know I’d have followed you anywhere.”

“You deserved more, Amanda,” he sighed as he nuzzled her breast, lapping lazily at the peak. “Still do, but I’m just selfish enough to demand you give me a chance with you. I didn’t want you waiting on me while I was off with the Marines.”

“I did anyway,” she admitted. “I gave you a key to my house for a reason, and it wasn’t to spare your parents a midnight wake up when you came in at an odd hour.”

“I do love you,” he said, surprised to find how easily it came. “I’ll do anything I have to to be with you.”

She smiled up at him. “You’re not the badass everyone thinks you are, Dalton Colt.”

“I am so. Just not with you.” He
chuckled
before dipping his head down for another slow, languid kiss.

“Well,” she sighed, “I suppose I’ll have to keep you. You know, since you’re here and all. Not sure for how long, but I’d say a couple of lifetimes should do nicely.”

“Damned straight,” he managed between kisses. “But first, let me show you just how fast I can recover.”

Amanda didn’
t argue.
